11Tyler Cassidy is a self-described "average musician, entertainer, and D-List internet celebrity", largely based out of Website/YouTube. He's best known for his performances as his persona Music/FroggyFresh (formerly known as Krispy Kreme), with several of his songs going viral in 2012 and propelling him into internet fame. In 2018, Cassidy retired the Froggy Fresh persona and began releasing music on his personal [=YouTube=] channel under his real name. Many of his songs are much more serious in tone than those he made as Froggy Fresh, though he releases a fair amount of comedy songs as well. However, many of these [[RuderAndCruder feature much more adult humor and profanity]], with many of them falling into BlackComedy. As opposed to the rap songs he released as Froggy Fresh, many of Cassidy's songs fall more into the RAndB genre.\
12After many videos of him playing the piano while singing both covers and original songs, he released his first album under his real name, ''Renee'', in 2019.

15!!Tyler Cassidy's songs provide examples of...
16
17* ClosetGay: ''Every President Is Gay'' jokingly accuses every United States President in history of being this.
18* CrazyCulturalComparison: Played for laughs in ''Why Do Muslim Women Dress Like Ninjas''. [[spoiler: The song's narrative ends with a woman in a niqab framing Tyler for a bank robbery, with him coming to the conclusion that they dress that way in order to pull off heists.]]
19* GenreShift: ''Twin Flames'' has Cassidy moving away from the typical R&B sound he usually goes for in favor of a pop-punk inspired sound. Justified, as he's [[TakeThat parodying Machine Gun Kelly]].
20* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: After the previous two songs featured a number of jokes about Tyler having sex with men, ''Chris Hemsworth 3'' tells the story of his attempts to convince his mother that he's straight.
21-->''Mom, I'm not gay, just because I think Chris Hemsworth's hot\
22I'm not gay, just because I'd like to kiss The Rock\
23Mom I'm not gay, just because I'd rather be a top\
24Mom I'm not gay, but if I was\
25Would you still love me?''
26* LyricalDissonance: ''Whole Lotta Gang Shit'' plays with this, as the song is rather upbeat, while the lyrics are dedicated to [[RefugeInAudacity being as outrageously offensive as possible]]. The chorus (which is humorously lyrically unrelated to the rest of the song) exemplifies this, with the upbeat R&B styling clashing with lyrics that sound more like they'd belong in a GangstaRap song.
27-->'''Cause it's a whole lotta gang shit\
28And this money ain't a god damn thing, bitch\
29I got some trap homies we can hang with\
30First they pull strap out, then they aim it''
31* MistakenForGay: ''Chris Hemsworth 3'' centers around Cassidy's mother being convinced that he's gay due to the previous two ''Chris Hemsworth'' songs having copious mentions of Tyler having sex with or being attracted to men. Played with, as exactly how heterosexual Tyler's character in the song actually is is rather questionable.
32-->''I said "Mom, I always go to church, Mom, I always pray\
33So just because I think some guy is cute don't make me gay\
34Just 'cause I can recognize that certain guys are hot\
35Mom, it doesn't make me gay," she said, "It doesn't make you not"''
36* MysticalPregnancy: ''Pregnant Virgin'' is told from the perspective of the biblical Joseph, focusing on his confusion over his wife's sudden pregnancy despite the two of them not having had sex. Much of the song centers around his [[MistakenForCheating suspicions of infidelity]] towards Mary, though in the end Joseph decides to be a good parent to the child regardless.
37* RuderAndCruder: As stated previously, many of his songs are much more adult in nature than anything he released as Froggy Fresh, which were generally pretty tame and avoided even mild profanity. His Tyler Cassidy songs, on the other hand, feature copious amounts of swearing and dark humor.
38* SexlessMarriage:
39** ''Chris Hemsworth'' focuses on one of these, with the song telling a story of Tyler's wife no longer wanting to have sex with him due to being more attracted to Creator/ChrisHemsworth. As a result, [[SituationalSexuality Tyler ends up deciding to start sleeping with his male friends instead of trying to win back his wife.]] Despite the song obviously being a joke, Cassidy had to state in the video's description that it was created to make his wife laugh and wasn't meant to be taken seriously due to an abundance of comments taking the lyrics at face value.
40** Averted in the sequel tracks. ''Chris Hemsworth 2'' instead focuses on Tyler having a lurid affair with the actor. The third song in the series focuses on Tyler [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday attempting to convince his mother that he's straight]] despite his strong attraction to Hemsworth. [[spoiler: The end of the song reverses the roles, with his mother suddenly kissing Megan Fox and subsequently attempting to convince Tyler of her heterosexuality.]]
41* TakeThat:
42** The ''Macklemore's Wife Is A Cunt'' trilogy was a massive one of these against Music/{{Macklemore}}'s wife, based on an incident in Los Angeles International Airport, in which Cassidy was in the same line Macklemore and his wife at the security checkpoint, and witnessed the wife having a public meltdown and getting into a screaming match with a foreign woman who didn't speak English.\
43The songs were later removed, and Cassidy's wife confirmed on Website/{{Reddit}} that Tyler felt he was a bit too harsh and didn't feel comfortable having three songs dedicated solely to attacking a woman on his [=YouTube=] channel, with additional worries about demonetization or receiving a community guidelines strike.
44** ''Louis C.K.'' is one towards the [[Creator/LouisCK titular comedian]], mocking the creator for his allegations of sexual misconduct.
45** ''Amber Guyger'' is a scathing takedown of the police officer charged for the murder of Botham Jean, who was shot and killed in 2018 after Guyger entered his apartment by mistake and erroneously believed him to be a burglar, falsely thinking that the unit was her own. While the song is comedic in nature, it avoids making light of the tragedy and instead focuses on mocking and condemning Guyger's conduct as an officer.
46** ''Better Call Feet'' is much more light-hearted and friendly in nature compared to most of the other examples of this trope, poking fun at Creator/BobOdenkirk after it was noticed the actor was [[EmbarrassingBrowserHistory following a foot fetish account on Instagram.]]
47** ''Twin Flames'' has Cassidy delivering one of these towards Music/MachineGunKelly, adopting the name "Machine Gun Krispy" and parodying MGK's musical style with a lyrical focus on the artist's recent breakup with Creator/MeganFox.
48--->''She was the prom queen, he was a crackhead\
49She had big breast-es, he had fake street cred\
50It was a love story, for all the losers\
51For all the cheaters and serial abusers\
52He'd paint his nails up dark and black\
53Make a sacrifice and then call her back\
54He said "Let's go out, we can grab a snack\
55I'll wear my spiked shock collar with the leash attached"''
56** The now-deleted song ''Me VS iDubbbz cage match'' is one towards [[WebVideo/{{iDubbbzTV}} iDubbbz]], made in the wake of Cassidy's abrupt and controversial removal from the roster of his ''Creator Clash 2'' charity boxing event only three weeks before it happened. Cassidy had been removed due to being trained by controversial comedian [[Series/WorldPeace Sam Hyde]], whom iDubbbz is on bad terms with. After the fact, Cassidy had been vocally critical of the event's management and his treatment from the staff, having been threatened with legal action for even speaking about his removal and feeling he was the victim of guilt by association. It was later revealed that the event failed to turn a profit, leading to Cassidy releasing a song jokingly talking about fighting iDubbbz in a cage match to raise back the lost money.
57--->''Opened up Twitter, I heard the news\
58My boy Ian Jomha ain't paying his dues\
59He got costs out the wazoo, bills out the ass\
60When the charity calls, say he ain't got the cash\
61We can pay all them charities back in one day\
62If you fight my dumb midget ass in a cage\
63'Cause don't nobody care 'bout Creator Clash 3\
64Bitch, them parties cost money, but this ass whipping's free''
65** ''Ian Garry'' is a massive one towards the titular MMA fighter, made in collaboration with fellow mixed martial artist Sean Strickland as part of Strickland's feud with Garry. The song focuses on Garry's marriage to television presenter Layla Machado, who is fourteen years Garry's senior and authored a book entitled ''How to Be a WAG'', which some have described as "a gold digger’s guide to locking down young and successful athletes".
66--->''Somebody save Ian, 'cause I don't wanna see him\
67With the forty-year-old gold digging European\
68There's a cougar on the prowl, bringing young men down\
