1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Pretty much everything (as stated in the intro), but in particular: |
2 | ** "Bed Intruder Song" is definitely their top example |
3 | ** "Backing Up Song" |
4 | ** "Winning", the Creator/CharlieSheen song. |
5 | ** "Chuck Testa". |
6 | ** ''Number 8.'' |
7 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Though Frank the Angry Gorilla does technically represent something ([[StrawmanPolitical reactionary rage]]), he still tends to come off as this, since he so often comes entirely out of nowhere and has a strange, laid back delivery. |
8 | * CrossesTheLineTwice: "[[LampshadedTrope Which part]]?" |
9 | * GrowingTheBeard: The first video is fairly forgettable, but the second one is where the series starts to pick up some of its {{Running Gag}}s and recurring characters (starting with the Angry Gorilla and "very thin ice".) |
10 | * HoYay: ''Poke Me: Amir Sings his Plea''. |
11 | * IAmNotShazam: The band is called The Gregory Brothers, their main Website/YouTube channel and website is called schmoyoho, the show is called ''Auto-Tune The News'', and the B-sides are called ''Songify This''. The massive amount of names has led to them being used somewhat interchangeably. |
12 | * MemeticBadass: |
13 | ** [[Series/{{Today}} Katie Couric]], a brilliant singer and [[PimpDuds former pimp.]] |
14 | ** Antoine Dodson WILL find you. |
15 | ** Jimmy [=McMillan=] of the Rent Is Too Damn High party, who can punch out Creator/ChuckNorris and [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] and supports gay shoe marriage. |
16 | ** [[Series/{{Teletubbies}} Tinky Winky.]] He's confirmed by Obama to be an ass-kicking expert, is on the no-fly list, and his purse was declared to be winning by Charlie Sheen. |
17 | * NightmareFuel: "Bed Intruder" might come across as hilarious, but it's still about a ''teenage girl nearly raped in her bedroom by an intruder breaking into her home.'' |
18 | ** Not to mention that Antoine Dodson is a rape victim himself. |
19 | ** The fact that Antoine Dodson himself [[ApprovalOfGod approves of the song]] and profits from the song helped to buy him a new house helps lessen this somewhat. |
20 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Of the the accidental singers, two (Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann) went on to run for president in 2012. |
21 | * SpecialEffectsFailure: Early videos had some pretty glaring green-screen outlines, though they gradually improved. Also, the Angry Gorilla costume's face is severely torn up. |
