* BaitAndSwitch: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] by ''The Complete History of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris''. The intro sets it up as a Russian history lesson... and then the first verse is a remark about Tetris gameplay. From the second verse onward, however, it returns to the Russian history lesson and remains there, with "the man who arranges the blocks" being the only actual reference to Tetris in the lyrics of the song itself. The video strikes a middle ground, continuing to use tetrominos in the imagery as it portrays the periods of the history lesson for each verse.

** "The Complete History of the Soviet Union, Arranged to the Melody of Tetris" is an AuthorTract against [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Russian politics]] through a long and elaborate ''Tetris''-themed metaphor, stating that the country is a [[CrapsackWorld bleak and absurd place]] from the end of [[UsefulNotes/TsaristRussia the czarist era]] through [[UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia the post-communist era]] in which none of the revolutions or political change actually brought any real ameliorations to the Russian inhabitants' conditions of life and work. There are brief snipes at foreign influence on the country after the fall of communism ("when in Red Square, well don’t despair / there’s Levi’s and [=McDonald’=]s there," and "the US gave us crystal meth"). Even UsefulNotes/VladimirPutin doesn't seem to have really changed anything with the "happy" Russia portrayed in the ending as [[HereWeGoAgain the man resigns himself to arranging the blocks forever]]. One line can even be interpreted as a snipe against both life in the Soviet Union ''and the Tetris game itself'':
