17!! Trope Me I'm Famous:
18* AutoTune: Used in "Turn Me On" (featuring Music/NickiMinaj) and heavily in "Who's That Chick?" (featuring Music/{{Rihanna}}). [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools To great effect in both]].
19* BarbieDollAnatomy: Applied to the dolls in the music video of "Turn Me On".
20* {{Bowdlerize}}: Apart from "Sexy Bitch" becoming "Sexy Chick", the Music/SnoopDogg collaboration "Wet" ("I just wanna make you wet!") became "Sweat".
21* ConceptVideo: "Titanium" is about a kid (played by Carey of ''Film/{{Super 8}}'') who discovers MindOverMatter powers and is hunted for it.
22* EpicFail: Akon tries to find the words to describe this girl without coming across as disrespectful... and ends up spouting the phrase, "Damn, you're a sexy bitch!". To make it worse, a previous line says she's not "nothing you can compare to your neighborhood 'ho".
23-->'''WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows''': Now there's a famous psychological term; the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin-whore_dichotomy "virgin-whore complex"]] (...). Akon, however, seemed to have something a bit different.
24* {{Fanservice}}: At the start and end of the "She Wolf (Falling To Pieces)" video, we see a naked woman with her back to the camera.
25** "I'm Good" features the beautiful Bebe Rexha sporting and dancing in an AbsoluteCleavage outfit, a shirtless David, and a lot of pretty girls including a burlesque dancer.
26* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and {{Music/Afrojack}} created most of their popular songs together, and they continue to make music together today.
27* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: "Sexy Bitch" (featuring Akon). The radio version is "Sexy Chick".
28** From 2003 to 2013, he had a series of annual house music compilation albums called ''Fuck Me, I'm Famous''.
29* {{Sampling}}: He is extremely very fond of sampling, being as he's a [[JustifiedTrope DJ and all]]. Trying to list all of the songs he's sampled would take us way too long. If you want to know how many people he's sampled, the [=WhoSampled=] website has you [[http://www.whosampled.com/David-Guetta/?sp=1 covered]].
30* PatheticDroopingWeapon: The music video of ''Lovers On The Sun'' is a homage to TheWestern, and when it comes to the climactic gunfight, the bad guys' weapons all melt away simultaneously when their opponent pulls out a miniature sun.
31* SelfEmpowermentAnthem: Titanium
32* SoundEffectBleep: In the clean version of "Where Them Girls At", in the form of a soccer whistle during Music/NickiMinaj's verse.
33* SpinTheEarthBackwards: Shown in the music video for "Little Bad Girl" (featuring Taio Cruz and Ludacris).
34* {{Steampunk}}: Featured in the music video of "Turn Me On".
35* WolverinePublicity: Compared to most other [=DJ=]s, except maybe Music/CalvinHarris and Music/{{Avicii}}.
