that sentence is just begging for a flamewar on why using \"gay\" as a colloquialism for \"uncool\" is wrong, and we don\'t want that here


*** One of the reasons he dislikes "I Like It" is because Enrique Iglesias sounds "really gay" on it. Though gay is a common colloquialism for something that it is uncool and really has nothing to do with sexual orientation.

* TheWoobie:
** Has made multiple references to being dumped, and something about him is so... [[{{Adorkable}} adorkable]]. On top of that, some of the songs he reviews push him to the edge of his sanity, to the point of tears, as demonstrated by ''HannahMontana: TheMovie''. It makes you wanna hug him.
** Also in his ''Hannah Montana'' review his last birthday was rather... depressing.
** In his review of 'Fifteen', he bitches about how the song doesn't apply to anyone who wasn't an attractive blonde girl at fifteen (or basically, anyone who wasn't TaylorSwift) and then says that since he's not a girl, or fifteen, or attractive, none of it applies to him- especially not the bits about dating or having friends. Aw.
** And in his "Worst of 2010" review he talked about how the period between his videos was longer because he wanted to relax over Christmas and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick also]] [[ItGotWorse he got MRSA]].
** In his Top Ten Best Hit Songs of 2010, Todd remarks after hearing Nothin' On You by B.O.B saying "what girl could possibly listen to something so lovestruck, so happy, and not be swept off her feet?" On this realization, Todd excitedly goes to talk to Lupa... but then quotes Carryout. Cue disappointed slump. Aaawwww.

* OneOfUs: He is very aware of the fact that he has a TVTropes page, and says he is beyond flattered to have one when several other TGWTG contributors don't. He frequently refers to TVTropes on [[http://twitter.com/ShadowTodd his Twitter page]]. Including [[http://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/21156665186 one tweet]] where he claims he writes for [[FetishFuel/ToddInTheShadows his own Fetish Fuel page]]. He's probably lying, though. ''Probably''. He admitted in a commentary video that he doesn't visit the site all that often, but it is a good inspiration for a joke now and then, such as the "How I Met Your Mother" clip in his "O.M.G" review.
* RefugeInAudacity:
** During the "I Can Transform Ya" review, Todd calls Chris Brown "Captain [=McPunchesAGirl=]". That's just the tip of it, really.
** In his review of Usher's "OMG", he suggests that Usher's wife divorced him on the grounds that he tried to rhyme "style" with "wow." [[CrossesTheLineTwice O. M. G.]]

Sorry for going a bit overboard on that, man. I can understand why you dislike that he chose them (I saw your comment on the page) but, as he said: he reviews stuff like this because he loves pop music. And, you have to admit, as vapid as she is, Perry\'s songs ARE catchy.
