Go To

  • It Was His Sled: Shia LaBeouf surviving your initial confrontation ("Shia surprise!") was a twist, as the original song had him die when you stabbed him in his kidney. The live version with the extended ending is now far better known, especially thanks to the "Shia surprise!" meme.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "You're walking in the woods. There's no one around, and your phone is dead. Then, out of the corner of your eye, you spot him..."Explanation 
    • "WAIT! HE ISN'T DEAD! SHIA SURPRISE!"Explanation 
  • Signature Song: Rob Cantor's. "Shia LaBeouf" got a decent amount of attention when first released, especially on Twitter and Tumblr. Two years later, "'Shia LaBeouf' Live" was released and went viral, gaining millions of views. In a 2019 interview, Cantor said he's mostly writing Disney songs, and this ridiculous song is his most well-known work by far.
