• His wheel for "Awful 2007 Rap Songs by Random Nobodies", which consists of the following: "This is Why I'm Hot" by Mims^note a dishonorable mention, "We Fly High" by Jim Jones^note #6, "Walk It Out" and "2 Step" by Unk, "Pop, Lock & Drop It" by Huey, "Get It Shawty" by Lloyd, "A Bay Bay" by Hurricane Chris... and "Rappin' for Jesus" by Pastor Jim & Mary Sue Colerick.
• Mocking J.R. Rotem's sampling method by doing some "sampling" of his own, in his case, of TheDoubleAgent's "Worst Hit Songs of 2009" in the dishonorable mentions segment on Daughtry's "It's Not Over", complete with Sean lipsynching Ethan.

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2016

• "Drake didn't have the smelliest crap, but he was the one that taught the world how to poop."

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2015

• Sean watching a clip of the Fall 2017 ranking in sheer disgust.
• Noting that Meghan Trainor's proposed solution to spending more time with her husband is to keep him from seeing his family more than hers, not only the type of proposal to turn people away, it doesn't make sense.
  Sean: That's like saying "Oh, gee wiz, I should would love to learn to make a scrumptious blueberry pie, so to make that happen, I think I'm going to go BECOME A SCIENTOLOGIST!", which is frankly something I prefer over marrying Meghan Trainor at this point.

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2014 (with Cicabeot1)

• Sean's Motor Mouth rant about "Say Something" by A Great Big World featuring Christina Aguilera
  Sean: "Say Something" is one of the most boring, bland, tired, insipid, musically barren songs I've ever had the displeasure of having blasted at me over the radio several times a week, often multiple times a day for the past five years straight. It takes a song that wants to be a deeply emotional gut punch, but actually reeks as nothing more than a bunch of sappy clichés, reworded just barely enough to seem fresh and new, while really they're just recycling the same overdone phrases that have been omnipresent in sad songs since the dawn of time. The bland vocals from the guys from A Great Big World, which is a stupid fucking name by the way, still fail to strike any emotional resonance as he spouts off these clichés, backed up by a series of uber-simple piano chords that make "All of Me" sound like "Through the Fire and the Flames" by comparison, and even when it finally starts to build in the final stanza, it's thrown off by Christina Aguilera Christina Aguilera'ing all over it. It all comes together to create one of the most hollow listening experiences of endurance since the turn of the decade, and I completely fail to understand the appeal of this stunningly ineffective piece of musical white noise that was only launched into the public conscience by a reality show which is nothing but the Pepsi to American Idol's Coke!

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2019

• Sean claiming he became aware of A Boogie Wit da Hoodie partially because of his dumb stage name
• Sean pointing out how on the comments section to the "ZEZE" music video is almost entirely dedicated to making fun of it.

Top 10 Best Hit Songs of 2019

• Making good of a promise, Sean invites Dua Lipa for dinner, where he'll serenade her with his old fanfic, all while wearing a ridiculous outfit◊.

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2013

• On "Sure Be Cool If You Did":
  Sean: I revoke your right to use the word cool, Blake Shelton, and if you try to disagree with me, I'll do the Dougie and use it to steal Gwen from you.

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2001 (with The Double Agent)

• "*NSYNC has five members: namely Justin Timberlake and the other ones."
• Sean pointing out that "He Loves U Not" by Dream (their #3 pick) ended up on Billboard's 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time and placed higher on that list than not only "Independent Women", but also "Sledgehammer", "No Scrubs" and "Stop! In The Name of Love". This fact causes Ethan to die.
• Sean playing "Put It On Me" by Ja Rule causes Ethan to be revived, leading to this exchange.
  Ethan: (wakes up) The fuck was that?!
  Sean: Oh, cool. You're back. How was the afterlife?
  Ethan: Oh, you know, less eventful than you'd expect. Though I'm not entirely sure it's over cause I'm pretty sure I'm in hell right now.
  • Sean then compares the song's instrumental to a toddler slamming their fists on a keyboard.

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2020

• The intro to Part 1 has Sean lighting a 2020 sign with a flamethrower, and singing a yearly recap to the tune of "We Didn't Start the Fire".
• The transitional music: "I'm A Virgin" by The Weeknd.
• Describing 2020 as a "Human Centipede of a year".
• The ending to Part 1 has various people exclaiming variants of "FUCK 2020!".
• "So a few months ago, I implied that anyone who put "Falling" by Trevor Daniel on their worst lists was a total dweeb. I have never claimed to not be a total dweeb."
• "A few months ago, I called Jason Derulo the Joe Biden of the R&B world, considering that he came in to replace someone who really should not have been that difficult to get rid of,^note Chris Brown/Donald Trump and yet, he was so terrible in his own right that a whole bunch of people decided to just stick to the evil they knew. This comparison has run only more and more true over time, since not only did Biden and Derulo both end 2020 on top, but it's arguable that neither of them would've gotten there if not for the Asian people^note Kamala Harris/BTS who tagged along with them. Oh, and they're also both still terrible. I can't stress that enough."

Top 10 Best Songs of 2020

• The transition music was originally going to be "Speed Me Up" from the Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) soundtrack but was changed due to copyright reasons. The replacement? "Baka Mitai".

Top 10 Worst Songs of 2021

• The Transition music: "Mask" by Dream
• Calling Russell Dickerson the result of Brendon Urie being body swapped with Lindsey Graham
• The fact that "Cry Baby", a song that Sean reacted to with immense horror whenever it's brought up, is only at #8.
• Sean claims that "Astronaut in the Ocean" doesn't sound any less nonsensical if the lyrics were replaced by disconnected lyrical ideas. He then has his cameos do exactly that.
  • One lyric is accompanied by a clip of Sean twerking.
• Sean's country singer persona, Pigswill McCoy.
• Sean sharing his discovery of a kids' drawing channel which features a video where they draw Walker Hayes, complete with a beer cooler.
  • Pointing out that one of the writers is named Shane McAnally.
  • Apparently, Sean's still banned from eating food by Applebee's.
  • Sean's royalty payment to Ethan for taking one of his jokes.
    Ethan: SEAN, THAT IS NOT THE PAYMENT WE AGREED UPON!
• "Beat Box" by SpotemGottem's many remixes are credited to Way Too Many Fucking People. And Sean's comment on it?
  Sean: No!
• Sean stating that Chris Young and Kane Brown should not work together again purely because seeing the names "Chris" and "Brown" next to each other makes him angry. Funnily enough, the next DM is an actual Chris Brown song.
• The segment on "Lonely" has Sean reading Bieber's rather pretentious About section on his YouTube channel.
• Sean describes the Ritt Momney (aka Jack Rutter) cover of "Put Your Records On" as an experiment gone wrong.
  Sean: But the thing about experiments is that most of them end up failing and on rare occasions, they fail so badly that the lab blows up, you inhale a bunch of dubious gas and within the year, you have a third arm growing out of your back which, yeah, that's the level we're on here.
  • Sean finds it ironic that Rutter wanted to make the cover to raise people's spirits as one of the first results when looking for his name is an interview which states that Rutter is not someone to look for upbeat songs and that (in Rutter's own words, no less) he has a "natural affinity for despair".
    • During the premiere, a handful of people pointed out that the above comment makes Rutter sound like Junko Enoshima.
  • Comparing the vocal processing as "a .wav file of Joji being run through a washing machine"
  • The final chorus is described as Mormon Jesus punishing Rutter for leaving His church and is further described as the most horrific and ungodly sound to come out in a long time which is saying something considering 2021 was also the year where one of the biggest pop acts made a video where he gives Satan a lap dance.

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2022

• In the joint entry of "I Ain't Worried" and "Light Switch", Sean discusses the fact that Charlie Puth has, for some baffling reason, been sharing snippets of his sex life to the public. This includes going up to Adam Levine and telling him that "This Love" is the first song he ever jerked off to. Sean would then point out that this somehow wasn't the biggest L Adam's sex life would take.
  • Sean would then follow this with concluding that "I Ain't Worried" sounds like a song Puth would masturbate to before immediately cutting to Puth going "COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!"
• Claiming that "Unstoppable" sounds like a nun trying to be hip with the kids, leading to a skit of Sean in a full nun costume on a typewriter.
• Like the previous years, Sean gathered a bunch of cameos from other reviewers, this time discussing how much the world changed since "Heat Waves" first charted.
• He also calls "Broadway Girls" by Morgan Wallen and Lil Durk, "Broadway Durks by Lil Girl and Billy Ray-cism."
• On "Truth About You" by Mitchell Tenpenny, the reason why it's only on #3 despite its subject matter is that Tenpenny is such a laughably bad singer that Sean can't take him seriously
  Sean: You can practically hear him in the recording booth, biting his lip and going "Mmmm, yeah, I am an artist! I am making fucking art here, man!".
  • After bringing up how Tenpenny has a tendency to make covers using the same overwrought tone of voice as "Truth About You", Sean remarks that he can't think of a song that could fit it except for "Someone You Loved". Turns out that Tenpenny actually did do a cover of it, complete with 808s and autotune. Sean is utterly horrified.
  • Sean comes to the conclusion that Tenpenny's success totally has nothing to do with the fact that he's the grandson of one of the most powerful executives in Nashville history.
• On "She Likes It" by Russell Dickerson featuring Jake Scott: "This song sounds like it wants to lick me."
• After hearing Russ rap "She said "I love your songs", I told her to list five" in "Handsomer", Sean then goes on to do exactly that, with the next five dishonorable mentions all being Russ songs.
  • One of these ("Last Night") features Sean comparing Russ to a Muppet.
• On "Dua Lipa" by Jack Harlow, Sean says he was planning on retiring his running gag about simping after Dua Lipa after seeing her uncomfortable reaction to the song. And then one day, he went on Twitter and found this:
  Consequence: Dua Lipa is now dating "Dua Lipa" rapper Jack Harlow
  [Beat as Sean goes from dumbfounded confusion to deep in thought.]
  Lloyd Christmas: (dubbed over Sean) So you're telling me there's a chance?

Seasonal Top 20/Top 40 Ranked

FALL 2019

• The last ranking has Sean jokingly telling his viewers to stream "Someone You Loved" as he needed an easy target for the Worst Hit Songs list. Come this ranking and it's in the Top 20. Cue a clip from Todd in the Shadows:
  Todd: We regular internet morons are finding out we have power and some of us are using that power in horrible ways.
  • After this, Sean gets berated by The Mode Reviews who blames him for the song's success stateside.

WINTER 2021: TOP 40 SONGS

• Sean comparing Ed Sheeran to, of all people, Imogen Heap, which leads into an edit of The Lonely Island short The Shooting where "Hide and Seek" is replaced with "Afterglow".
• When Sean is showcasing the unintentionally hilarious lines off of "Holy", "Make you a snack like Oscar Proud" becomes Sensory Abuse.
• Sean pleasantly finding out the next song he's covering to be a track from two well-respected artists, Megan Thee Stallion and DaBaby, after speaking out his thoughts on the much more polarizing KID LAROI, only to have such a frightening reaction to "Crybaby" that he spends the next segment calling Ethan to show its awfulness. He later refuses to play the song again or refer to it by name.
• The audio for the "Blinding Lights" segment is replaced by a cover of "Wonderwall"

SUMMER 2021

• Sean realizes that "Beautiful Mistakes" implies that Adam Levine has had sex with Megan Thee Stallion, much to his horror.
• Fully anticipating the backlash from this act's fanbase, Sean puts a target marker on his head before stating "Man, this BTS song sure does exist, doesn't it?"
• Sean's takeaway from Justin Bieber saying he "gets his light from the source"
  Sean: Holy shit! Guys, this explains everything! Justin Bieber says he gets his light from the source, which means that he photosynthesize, which means he isn't a human, (shows a picture of a Bulbasaur with Bieber's face on it) he's a plant and that explains why he sounds so fucking wooden all the time!

FALL 2021

• The thumbnail. (Now pictured above)
  • After the video became one of Sean's best performing, he had this to say:
  So the Fall Ranking is by far my fastest video to hit 10k views outside list season, doing so in just over 3 days.
  
  Let me state this clearly and for the record: NOTHING with THIS cover art deserves to do that well, and that's in reference to both my video and Drake's album.
• Trying to get the appeal of "Fancy Like" by going to an Applebee's. It ends miserably for him.
  Waitress: Hi, welcome to Applebee's. May I take your order?
  Sean:: Oh, ah, yes. I think I'd like to get the Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake and if could get some whipped cream at the top, too?
  (Smash Cut to Sean standing outside of Applebee's)
  Sean: They kicked me out of Applebee's and said I'm banned from ever eating food again. Damn it, food was one of my favorite things to eat!

WINTER 2022

• "blackbear cloned himself and that clone is now a girl making pop-punk."
• After Chuck-E-Cheese is brought up in "Smokin' Out The Window", Sean states it's "home of pizza not even the rats would touch" and what he believes is the actual origin point of COVID.

Grab Bag Reviews

Episode 1

• The most voted song turns out to be "Feelings" (aka the song used in the intro), much to Sean's dismay.

Episode 4

• Sean compares "Die Very Rough" by Mario Judah to the Thomas & Friends robot from this video, in that it's an amusing image, but if one were to find it charging straight at them, they'd be "shitting out their own spine".
• After finding "Angelina" by Nameless to not be interesting enough to be worth Googling any further, Sean gives up and wonders what the last Patron request will be, and hopefully it will give him something to talk about. It turns out to be.... "Circles" by Post Malone.
  Col. Nathan R. Jessep: You fucking people.

Episode 6

• The Stinger features Sean reviewing a song suggested by Prideful Xela, one of the admins in his Discord server. The song in question ("A a A a A Very Good Song" by Samir Mezrahi) consists of nothing but 10 minutes of utter silence.
• The final song review before the reveal of the top voted song, "Manly Yoga" by The Steedly Steeds has Sean reading out the synopsis of the song in a deadpan way before stating:

  Sean: Good lord, I hate every last one of you!

• Sean criticizing Mims and Juelz Santana for ripping off people way more successful, recognizable and talented than them unaltered while sitting in front of a piano in the shadows.
• On "U Got It Bad" by Usher:
  Sean: You know, it makes a little too much sense that one of the absolute biggest hits of the 2000s was based on a true story from a recording session where Usher was literally too horny to work.
• Sean's attempt to do the Lean Back in his chair backfires horribly, causing his set to fall over.
• Much like "Mo Bamba" and "WAP" before, "It's Gonna Be Me" is presented in every tier, including the Exceptional Tier.^note  Its true placement is in the Decent Tier

• Sean notes that you can show any couple kissing while "I Will Always Love You" plays in the background to get goosebumps and to demonstrate this, he plays the song over an infamous video of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello kissing.
  Sean: See? Look at that. Someone clearly let Travis Scott in here cause I get goosebumps every damn time!

Miscellaneous videos

British #1 Hit Songs that Americans have Never Heard Of

• Mode asks Sean if he wants will.i.am to wish him a happy birthday, which he accepts. He immediately regrets it after hearing a snippet of "It's My Birthday"
  Mode: Speaking of cakes, have you ever wanted will.i.am to wish you a happy birthday?
  Sean: Oh god, yes! BIRTH ME, WILLY!
  ("It's My Birthday" starts playing)
  Sean: I WAS JOKING!
• When "Swagger Jagger" starts, Mode suddenly disappears.
  Sean: So, I was going to force Mode to answer for this obnoxious little Brit brat who burst straight out of the doors of The X Factor with a song where she raps about all those in the world who might be inclined to jag her swag, but when I tried to talk to him about it, I found out that he had apparently disintegrated, because apparently, it's a scientific fact that all British people simultaneously stop existing the moment this song is brought up.
• Sean wondering what was America doing by not letting the Bob the Builder cover of "Mambo No. 5" hit the top of the charts before realizing the song debuted at the top of the UK charts on the week of September 11, 2001.
