* AdamWesting: Most of their guest stars play exaggerated versions of themselves. Music/MichaelBolton is an easily distracted cinephile, JustinTimberlake goes after AnythingThatMoves, and NickiMinaj has NoSocialSkills.

* BoastfulRap - "I'm on a Boat" and "We're Back" are mockeries of this. "Jack Sparrow" would have been this if not for MichaelBolton.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}} - The "Normal Guy". MichaelBolton, of all people, in "Jack Sparrow".

** "Jack Sparrow" partially mocks boastful club anthem raps. The other half just turns into MichaelBolton singing about various films.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: "I Just Had Sex" mocks this.

** The trio are playing PunchOut in ''Incredibad''.

* PrecisionFStrike:
** '''''FUCKING PLAY SOMETHING, SAX MAN!!!'''''
** For Michael Bolton, "This whole town's a pussy...just waitin' to get FUUUUUUUUCKED!"

** MichaelBolton, much to the trio's annoyance, keeps singing about ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', ''Film/ForrestGump'', ''ErinBrockovich'', ''Film/{{Scarface}}''...

** T. Pain in "I'm On a Boat"

** RyanReynolds and Elijah Wood on "Throw It On the Ground"
** Justin Timberlake, Molly Sims, and Jamie-Lynn Sigler in "Jizz In My Pants"

** JamesCameron and Steve Martin in two separate Laser Cats sketches.
** Will Ferrell (an SNL cast member from 1995 to 2002) and JJ Abrams (the guy who created Lost) in "Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions".
** Natalie Portman, of all people, launches the ClusterFBomb from hell in the aptly named "Natalie's Rap".
** Julian Casablancas (from The Strokes) in "Boombox".

* AerisAndBob: Their names are Jorma, Akiva and... Andy.

** In order to do The Creep properly, you need to look like JohnWaters.

* SlasherSmile: JohnWaters advises you to do this for "The Creep".

* SchmuckBait: The end of "Who Says We're Wack", where the boys found out who said they were wack by having first the * SpaceOpera: Space Olympics is a deconstruction-- Turns out, sports [[RecycledInSPACE in SPAAAACE]] don't work so well.

A comedy troupe featuring former ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' cast member Andy Samberg, and his long-time friends Jorma Taccone and Akiva Shaffer (who served as SNL writers). They are as well known for their humorous tongue-in-cheek songs as they are for the accompanying videos, which often air on SNL. They're quite prone to MemeticMutation, as the famous "Jizz in my Pants" single from 2009 shows, being one of the top viewed Website/YouTube videos. They've released two albums, ''Incredibad'' and ''Turtleneck and Chain''.

ladies put their hands up, then the fellas, then whoever said they're wack, before telling everyone else to put their hands down. Apparently, whoever called them wack kept their hands up, because they were quickly picked out of the crowd.

* BeyondTheImpossible:
** The eponymous Dreamgirl gets uglier with every verse. How ugly? Listen for yourself.
--> "It's music to my ears when you scream in your sleep."
** Similarly, "Like a Boss" deals with the day of a boss. Most of the earlier stuff is fairly mundane boss stuff (workshops, birthdays, synergy), then after a failed suicide attempt, degenerates into scoring coke, crashing his car, self-fellating, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick eating chicken strips]], self-castration, having sex with a giant fish in a sewer, turning into a jet and bombing Russia, and finally crashing into the sun and dying. ''On a daily basis.''

** In "We Like Sportz" they manage to combine this with LargeHam. [[BeyondTheImpossible srsly.]]

** MichaelBolton, much to the trio's annoyance, keeps singing about ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', ''ForrestGump'', ''ErinBrockovich'', ''{{Scarface}}''...

* AnAesop: Boombox: A boombox is '''NOT''' a toy.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The reasons for jizzing in your pants becomes... normal toward the end.

* AppliedPhlebotinum: The boombox from the eponymous song, which can make stuffy old men and women dance, erase racism and crime, and make rich people get loose. [[spoiler:It also can cause elderly orgies.]]

* BeyondTheImpossible: The eponymous Dreamgirl gets uglier with every verse. How ugly? Listen for yourself.

* ButtMonkey: Jorma is left off of the boat ride (and taunted for it) amongst other indignities.

* CrackPairing, XMeetsY: [[invoked]] In one promo for an awards night Andy was hosting, he was claimed to be the son of Michael Cera and Jack Black.

* DullSurprise: ThoseTwoGuys of "Just Two Guyz" and "We Like Sportz". Just two guys having a good time...

* EpicRiff: The bassline for Incredibad. Also qualifies as a major Ear Worm.

* FlatWhat: Andy in "Jack Sparrow", in response to Michael Bolton's non-sequitur chorus.

* JerkAss: The trio in "Japan", who are fucking over their label company and eventually dump an old man in the river.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: "Rocky", where Andy fights the titular boxer. [[spoiler:Rocky breaks Andy's jaw, nose, ribs and eye socket, knocks his teeth out, fractures his shins, rips his arms out, throws acid in his face, and pees on him. The ref then declares Andy legally dead.]]

* PrecisionFStrike: '''''FUCKING PLAY SOMETHING, SAX MAN!!!'''''

* ShoutOut: The trio are playing PunchOut in ''Incredibad''.

* [[LaserBlade Space Swords]]: [[SubvertedTrope Totally canceled]].

* StylisticSuck: 'Laser Cats', wherein Andy and Bill Hader attempt to pitch their ultra-low-budget Z-movies, each time getting them thrown out of an office at the end. ''Even James Cameron's approval doesn't help.''

* StealthParody: Oddly "I'm on a Boat". If it wasn't obvious enough...

* ThoseTwoGuys: "Just Two Guyz"'s, uhm, guys. Also, in "We Like Sportz". We're just two guys, hanging out, having fun. Right, Guy Number Two?

* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Half the world is eating boiled goose in "Boombox".
