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.
