** His review of LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" saw him flat-out refusing to play the song. The captions start off by displaying the name of the song due and artists as usual, but instead of "A pop song review", the next caption is "Play the song, Todd." to how insultingly simplistic its beat was.which Todd responds "NO!"

** This ended up affecting the best list at least once: In the "Best of 2014" list, he mentions using [[Music/BigSean "I Don't Fuck With You"]] as a bumper song in the worst of that year...and it grew on him enough to put it at #7 on the best list.

* TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou: Todd commends Lukas Graham for using actual instruments in an age of increasingly electronic and synthesized music, as well as having lyrics about something other than clubbing and/or sex - and then immediately tears into their biggest hit, "7 Years", [[spoiler:which would also be his #1 worst song of 2016]].

** In some cases, it's the opposite, with the hit not even charting in the top 40. Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio" peaked at #58 in the U.S., but is still well-remembered as a one-hit wonder.
** Falco's "Vienna Calling" reached #18 on the Hot 100.

The Obi Wan has been merged with Mentor Archetype. Misuse and zero context examples will be cut.


* TheObiWan: [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Kyle Kallgren]] often plays this role when doing cameos, whether it's chewing Todd out for abandoning "Sexy And I Know It", advising him to reach deep inside himself and pull out what he really needs to say (advice that ended in a video about groin shots, but points for trying), or talking him through his breakdown at the beginning of his 2013 Top 10 Best video.

Completely missing the point of the criteria for his Top 10 lists.

** At the end of episodes, he plays a snippet from some song that contrasts ironically with the one he reviewed. Examples: "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)", which is about dancing, gets Music/{{Genesis}}'s "I Can't Dance", while Music/JustinBieber's "Sorry" ends with [=OneRepublic=] informing us that it's too late to apologise.

* NotDistractedByTheSexy: When putting [[Music/DemiLovato "Cool for the Summer"]] at #2 on his lists of the best songs of 2015, he didn't even realize at first that it was a song about a lesbian fling, such was the effect that its raw power had on him. Upon examining the lyrics...
