The movie plays with language a lot, including a character that speaks entirely in seemingly random phrases (like "nose army").

| 126 | -->''Title of the song\ |
| 127 | Naive expression of love\ |
| 128 | Reluctance to accept that you are gone\ |
| 129 | Request to turn back time\ |

| 135 | Say what you want, it's your song after all,\ |
| 136 | But do try not to make each individual lyric line too long.\ |
| 137 | Because it might not scan.\ |

| 144 | Our fabulous chorus,\ |
| 145 | And thirty seconds from now you're going to hear it again.'' |
| 146 | * "Hook" by Music/BluesTraveler is a song about generic songs. Read just the first verse: |
| 147 | -->''It doesn't matter what I say\ |
| 148 | So long as I sing with inflection\ |
| 149 | That makes you feel that I'll convey\ |
| 150 | Some inner truth of vast reflection\ |

| 152 | And I can keep it up for as long as it takes\ |
| 153 | And it don't matter who you are\ |
| 154 | If I'm doing my job then its your resolve that breaks'' |
| 155 | * The Heeby Jeebies, parodying Music/TheBeatles: |

| 165 | That come to mind, child |
| 166 | * And similarly, Music/KingCrimson's "Happy with What You Have to Be Happy With." |
| 167 | -->Then I'm gonna have to write a chorus\ |
| 168 | We're gonna need to have a chorus\ |
| 169 | And this seems to be just as good as any other place to sing it 'til I'm blue in the face |

| 176 | -->"This is the part of the song that's really quiet\ |
| 177 | we play very soft, it sounds like a ballad\ |
| 178 | AND THIS IS PART WHERE WE PLAY REAL HARD\ |
| 179 | IT'S MUCH LOUDER THAN AT THE BEGINNING\ |

| 185 | -->Arica, this is totally the bridge\ |
| 186 | To this musical pep-talk\ |
| 187 | It really sounds romantic and self-important.... |
| 188 | * Brandon Muller's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYNRhzX6gw8 Linkin Park Parody]] is a mix of this and very pointed satire. |
| 189 | * Psychostick's #1 Radio $ingle. |
| 190 | -->"Well this is the part of the song where I talk about emotions\ |
| 191 | And this is the part of the song where I sing about how I feel so cold inside.\ |
| 192 | And this is where my producer told me to say "yeah."" |
| 193 | * Music/JonLajoie's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijr4rwb2WbE parody]] of typical pop songs, called "Pop Song": |
| 194 | -->"And now the [[AWildRapperAppears token rap verse]]\ |
| 195 | That doesn't make any sense\ |
| 196 | But helps to get [[MultipleDemographicAppeal a small percentage of the urban music market]]" |
| 197 | ** Many of his works include elements of this. |
| 198 | * Orange Goblin's ''Tosh Lines'': |
| 199 | -->This is the first line of my song\ |
| 200 | Second line didn't take me all that long\ |
| 201 | Third line and I'm about to lose control\ |
| 202 | Fourth line is a lesson in rock and roll\ |

| 208 | * [[Music/DanielAmos The Swirling Eddies]]: [[http://www.danielamos.com/swirly/themidget/thisisthetitle.html "This is the Title"]] |
| 209 | * An awful lot of Music/MitchBenn songs use this as a form of satire, mixed with HypocriticalHumour. |
| 210 | * Music/{{deadmau5}}' albums ''Random Album Title'', and possibly [[InvokedTrope invoked]] with ''For Lack of a Better Name'' (the first album released after ''Random Album Title'') and its title track, "Lack of a Better Name". From "This is the Hook": |
| 211 | --> This is the hook. It's catchy. You like it. |
| 212 | * Music/MCLars' "Generic {{Crunk}} Rap": |

| 216 | Chorus where I scream cause I don't know how to sing!'' |
| 217 | * Von Dooley's "Shitty Pop Song": |
| 218 | -->''And now the next verse, you might think it's shit\ |

| 225 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX9p50MIexs "Your State's Name Here"]], by Lou and Peter Berryman, is a song meant to be about any state in the US. Lou sings the regular parts of the song, while Peter sings the blanks MadLibsDialogue-style -- without actually filling them in. |
| 226 | -->Oh ''[Your state's name here]'', oh ''[Again]'', what a state. |
| 227 | -->I have not been back since ''[A reasonable date]''. |
| 228 | -->Where the asphalt grows soft in July every year. |

| 230 | * Music/MeghanTrainor's breakthrough album was titled ''Title''. |
| 231 | * Music/JoanJett had an album of mostly cover songs titled ''Album''. |
| 232 | * Blonde Redhead's official music video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpFjXEG4Ug8 "Silently"]] is just a series of text cards describing the events of a music video. (For extra weirdness, it's describing the plot of Music/{{Madonna}}'s "Like a Prayer" music video, rather than anything to do with the song itself.) |
| 233 | * "Tosi Tarttuva Täytebiisi" ("Really Catchy Filler Song") by the Finnish band Allekirjoittanut. |

| 237 | * When the Scottish newspaper ''The National'' wasn't allowed into UsefulNotes/TheresaMay's press event during her November 2018 visit to Scotland, their front page had a blacked out silhouette of May overprinted with an explanation that they were therefore not going to cover the story at all.

| 245 | And ends up with a kiss\ |
| 246 | Oh where is the song that goes like this?'' |
| 247 | * ''[[Theatre/TitleOfShow [title of show] ]]''follows the spirit, if not the letter, of the trope. It's a musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical. |
| 248 | * In musicals, an [[TheElevenOClockNumber eleven o'clock song]] is a show-stopping number which comes late in the second act, shortly before the show's finale. ''Ankles Aweigh'' has one titled "An Eleven O'Clock Song." |
| 249 | * The Ig Nobel Prize ceremonies have the traditional "Welcome, Welcome" and "Goodbye, Goodbye" speeches. Each is two words long. |

| 254 | * Turning on Arachnophobia Mode in ''VideoGame/LethalCompany'' replaces the model for the [[GiantSpider Bunker Spider]] with a red piece of text that reads "SPIDER". |
| 255 | * [[ComicBook/XMen Sentinel]] in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' does this. |
| 256 | -->''"[[IShallTauntYou UNDERMINE TARGET CONFIDENCE.]]"'' |
| 257 | ** In the updated ''Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3'', taunting as Deadpool results in him saying "TAUNT BUTTON!" In the original, he says "This is my taunt!" |
| 258 | * The Rubikon from ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'' uses this trope to [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstruct]] the concept of a dungeon. |
| 259 | * ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxSaveTheWorld'': Episode Six: Bright Side Of The Moon[[ColonCancer :]] |

| 262 | '''Sam:''' ''[[CatchPhrase You crack me up, little buddy.]]'' |
| 263 | * The Facebook version of ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'' has a ParodyCommercial for "Glug Light Beer", which features TriviallyObvious statements like "Glug Light is a beer that you can buy and that you can also drink" mixed with a list of generic "things that guys do". |

| 265 | * One of the guards that you kill in Asha's rescue mission in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' shouts "Famous movie quote!" as he's dying. |
| 266 | * In ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' you wind up fighting a [[EvilKnockoff robot clone]] of local wise cracking TrickArrow expert Manticore. The robot's text files are incomplete, so he winds up throwing error messages during his taunts. |
| 267 | -->Oh yeah? Aren't you the MISSING FILE [[YourLittleDismissiveDiminutive BELITTING_INSULT]].TXT\ |
| 268 | (''after defeating someone'') That sure was MISSING FILE [[BondOneLiner ONE_LINER]].TXT |
| 269 | * On the third installment of ''VideoGame/{{Wipeout}}'', The Designers Republic decided to go all out with their brand minimalistic approach (think of their cover art for ''[[Music/{{Autechre}} Tri Repetae]]'' but with text), which is why a lot of menu screens contain tons of "explanatory info" despite being fairly simplistic in their design. It has gotten so out of hand that the title screen literally says '''"WIPEOUT THREE TITLE SCREEN"'''. |
| 270 | ** And if you wait a bit on it, you will see the obligatory [=DR=] credits, preceded by '''"WIPEOUT THREE LOGO"''' and '''"TEXT READS LEFT TO RIGHT"'''. |
| 271 | * ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomMatchOfTheMillennium'' has "Victory pose!" as a subtitle to Yuri Sakazaki's... duh. |
| 272 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', one of Reinhardt's taunts is "CatchPhrase!" |
| 273 | * ''VideoGame/PokemonClover'' includes a ???-type Legendary Pokémon called Adesign found on An Island. It's a white square with "A DESIGN :^)" written on it, its cry is a guy saying "a noise", its Pokédex entry reads, "This is a design," and the only attack it knows naturally is "An Attack". |
| 274 | * ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'': The Deep Metro's Telephone's [[TotallyRadical "contemporary speech mode"]] is seemingly incomplete and as such, some of its vocabulary is instead spoken as [SLANG_NOT_FOUND] and or simply [ERROR]. |
