* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Much like a lot of MTV's reality shows of the day, this one perfectly captures the flashy pop culture of the early 2000s. The pampering and mounds of free gifts each fan gets marks it as a product of something made before the 2008 recession, and many of the gifts include then-state of the art technology - with games consoles from the second generation, a lack of [=iPods=] and analog televisions (one of which is even in the opening sequence). It's a time capsule of what music was popular at the time - when Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson were still together, and Justin Timberlake was more famous as a member of N*Sync.

* EnforcedMethodActing: In order to pick out someone to the love interest in the Enrique Iglesias "Escape" video the fan in question was required to make out with all the hopefuls to see which girl he had the best chemistry with. Yes, seriously.

Added DiffLines:

* AbilityOverAppearance: Presumably the choice to cast teens that were different races from the artists they were imitating. MTV do need people who will be entertaining on television afterall.
* ActingForTwo: Inverted. Several celebrities got imitated twice on the show including Music/BritneySpears, Music/ChristinaAguilera, *NSYNC, Pink etc.
* DawsonCasting: Inverted. Teenagers were cast as the 20-something artists.
* EnforcedMethodActing: In order to pick out someone to the love interest in the Enrique Iglesias "Escape" video the fan in question was required to make out with all the hopefuls to see which girl he had the best chemistry with. Yes, seriously.
** The dance routines that would have to be learned in a day would serve as a team building exercise for most of the teens that didn't know each other.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The show was never actually released on VHS or DVD so the only way to see any episodes is to find recorded clips on Youtube.
* OldShame: Try looking up some of the kids who were on the show now years later.
* RomanceOnTheSet: Played with. A couple of times real life boyfriends and girlfriends were brought in to play on screen love interests. The girl becoming Shakira and the guy becoming Eminem for example.
* ThrowItIn: The boys becoming Sum 41 for the "Fat Lip" video were only supposed to lipsynch the rapping at the start, but their voices were put in anyway.
