* As with Fast Ryde above, Music/TimMcGraw's 2014 single "Looking for That Girl" was originally recorded with Auto-Tune, but an alternate mix was also sent out with it removed.

* In ''Anime/SpaceDandy'', [[RobotBuddy QT]]'s actresses voices were auto-tuned to sound more robotic. It's more subtle in the Japanese dub since intonation is important in that language.

* ''EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'' uses this for StephenHawking rather than the program the real Hawking uses to speak. This is because if you've ever heard Stephen Hawking speak, you know you can't ''rap'' with that program.

* Music/{{Gackt}}, on almost ''anything'' studio recorded since around 2008. It has become harder to tell him and his {{Vocaloid}} Gakupo apart due to this - a properly Auto-Tuned Gakupo sounds nigh-indistinguishable from post 2008 Gackt.

* Music/{{Galneryus}} vocalist Masatoshi Ono/Sho uses Auto-Tune effects on both studio recording and in live performance. The results receive mixed reviews, although the sound is reminiscent of what would happen if someone created a {{Vocaloid}} based off of [[Music/ToshimitsuDeyama Toshi]]. Fans of Yama-B (who sang without autotune) are generally not pleased.

* Also PlayedForLaughs on a sketch on SaturdayNightLive with host Kristin Wiig; an infomercial advertising a CD for socialites and by socialites entitled "Classy Sexy Elegnace" ([[TyopOnTheCover yeah, that's what it's called]]). Everything on that album is [[StylisticSuck haphazardly produced]], by their HUSBANDS, no less, (Except for one song in which [[ItMakesSenseinContext her husband Craig T. Nelson]] hires a black producer who "pretends to like her music..."), which results in HEAVY use of the Auto-Tune. The real payoff moment comes near the end, when all three women are singing one song using EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AUTO-TUNE SETTINGS (in different keys and modes). [[HellIsThatNoise The result is hilariously]] [[SensoryAbuse scary]]. Hell, EVEN THE ENDING ANNOUNCEMENT is auto-tuned!

* The Music/TheyMightBeGiants song "Bastard Wants To Hit Me". For... some reason. It is also used more seriously (ha) on most of their following album, ''The Else''.
** "Bastard Wants to Hit Me" is more of a stealth parody. As for its use on ''The Else'', it surprisingly was NOT used on "I'm Impressed". WordOfGod says the vocals are strange in that song, due to the fact that demo for that song ended up on the final product, with the demo itself being captured on a very lo-fi mp3 file.

** On "TKOL RMX 1234567," two songs feature Auto-Tune; like on Amnesiac, it's used for artistic purposes. "Codex (Illum Sphere RMX)" and "Little By Little (Caribou RMX)" use it to alter the melody of the original song into an entirely new one.
