* They got tired of being Music/TheCure or Music/SiouxsieAndTheBanshees's fun sibling, and they went full-on, high energy dance pop after they met an up-and-coming production team known as Stock, Aitken and Waterman. (cue JustForFun/{{Rickroll}}) Ha! It's relevant! So it doesn't count! Ha!"

* According to Todd, Eddie's third album, "Love's Alright", [[{{Narm}} is the funniest thing he's ever made in his entire life]].

-->'''Todd:''' "Am I Black Enough for You?" Yeah, believe it or not, a song with that title ''too'' [[ButNotTooBlack black for most mainstream audiences.]] No one could've predicted. Actually, pretty much everyone predicted. Billy Paul ''begged'' Kenny Gamble not to release it as his next single, as did pretty much all of Gamble's colleagues. Like, [[Series/TheBradyBunch Peter and Marcia Brady]] are gonna listen to a song this threatening in between their Music/CarlySimon and John Denver? Yeah, that was obviously never gonna happen.

* "The Proclaimers are identical twins Craig and Charlie Reid, which quite frankly, that doesn't that doesn't strike me as Scottish enough names to describe these guys. If it were up to me, they'd go by Angus [=MacHaggis=] [=MacDougal=] and Tam O'Shanter the Bruce, and they'd dress like [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Groundskeeper Willie]]. ...You know, that might be going overboard a bit."

* Late in the video he starts including his dog Kali in the review. He even ends the review by taking it for a walk.

* He finishes the video by taking [[Creator/LindsayEllis his girlfriend]]'s dog out.

* Todd being confused by Film/{{Prometheus}}.
--> '''Todd''': "Their name comes from the idea that we're just an interstellar terrarium and that we were all just put here by aliens, like at the beginning of Prometheus. I think that's what Prometheus was about, [[MindScrew I have no idea what Prometheus was about]]. Their official biography says that this whole idea came from a 'daydream' their guitarist had, and [[http://tinyurl.com/p3j7f7m you can infer what that means on your own."]]"

** This is funnier when you consider that the stinger song is a version of Smooth Criminal from a [[Series/{{Glee}} certain famous cover band]].

* "Pat Boone was one of the original teen idols, and, in terms of chart success, he rivaled the King himself. In fact, he and Elvis have a lot in common. They were both instrumental in bringing black music to white America. The difference between him and Elvis was Pat Boone did it by [[LighterAndSofter making it suck.]] In other words, for decades, Pat Boone would've been [[Series/TheWhitestKidsUKnow the whitest kid you know."]]

* "Today, we are getting as in-your-face 80s as we can get, as you can tell by the fact that our singer appears to be dressed as a geisha pirate. Yes, even in an era where everyone pretty much dressed ridiculous, we're going to look at a band that made everyone else look about as gawdy and colorful as the [[http://www.thatericalper.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Dave+Matthews+Band.jpg Dave Matthews Band.]]"

* On the anonymity of Eurodance bands: "For example, Allmusic's biography of Rednex could probably stand to be a little more detailed. 'The Swedish dance combo Rednex had an international novelty hit in 1995 with 'Cotton-Eyed Joe,' a driving number that reworks American country music into disco.' That's it, only one sentence, and they didn't even spell the name of the song correctly; that's how much AllMusic cares about them."

-->'''Todd:''' I guess my final verdict is... ehh... [[FunWithAcronyms Eh... Meh... Feh]]...?

* Stating that to anyone, the duo would seem "like a Mike Myers character was somehow brought to life and cloned." Then goes on to show Creator/MikeMyers singing with half of the Proclaimers "because how the hell could he possibly not?"

-->'''Todd:''' ''Too Unique to Ignore But Too Weird to Keep Around'' is my favourite Music/PanicAtTheDisco album.

* Todd describing Music/MrBig's lineup[[labelnote:note]]All of whom were incredibly talented musicians well-respected by their peers but would never be recognized by anyone but the most hardcore of HairMetal fans[[/labelnote]] as "a [[DreamTeam supergroup]] of people who weren't famous."

--->'''Todd:''' Someone may have been watching him, but I can't imagine why.

** But why?! The answer is in his ''[[https://youtu.be/w0WpSqvrP4Q?t=690 Delirious]]'' stand-up routine:

* "Did he deserve better?"
-->'''Todd:''' I would say that he probably deserved a little worse. He didn't earn those hits. Eddie Murphy's vocals weren't strong enough on their own to merit a singing career. These are vanity projects, plain and simple. And like most vanity projects, they were pretty lame.

* "Did they deserve better?"
-->'''Todd:''' Look, they had one hit in the US, and a few hits in England. I really don't see how they could've realistically hoped for more.
** Todd notes EMF fell victim of being an unremarkable band at the tail end of a dying genre.
--->'''Todd:''' I guess my fimal verdict is... ehh... [[FunWithAcronyms Eh... Meh... Feh]]...?

* "Did they deserve better?"
-->'''Todd:''' Better? They seem to be doing pretty well for themselves.

* "Did they deserve any better?"
-->'''Todd''': Umm... in a better world, they would be famous for things other than what they are famous for.

** Todd says Alien Ant Farm didn't have the personality to do much better than they did. He refers to them as the least-interesting band he's reviewed on OHW to that point.
--->'''Todd:''' Even Music/MichaelJackson would have it better [[TurnOfTheMillennium that decade]] than Alien Ant Farm. [[CrossesTheLineTwice And he]] ''[[AuthorExistenceFailure died]]''!

* "Now in the UK, they had more time to get out some more singles, so they did notch a few more hits. But they must've been stung by the distrust because around this time, they started hanging out with Jane's Addiction and they decided their next album was gonna use no samples. It was gonna be darker. Always a good idea, a dark album. Plenty of allegedly lightweight acts have achieved greater success when they made a darker album such as...?...and...(band name not found) I'm sure there's at least one."

* They got tired of being Music/TheCure or Music/SiouxsieAndTheBanshees's fun sibling, and they went full-on, high energy dance pop after they met an up-and-coming production team known as Stock, Aitken and Waterman. (cue {{Rickroll}}) Ha! It's relevant! So it doesn't count! Ha!"

-->'''Todd''': (to the tune of "Somebody's Watching Me" opening riff) [[RapidFireNo NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NOOO]] [[BigNo NOOOHOHOHOHOHO!!!]] I can't emphasize how little business Rockwell had being a recording artist.

** But why?! The answer is in one of his ''[[https://youtu.be/w0WpSqvrP4Q?t=690 Delirious]]'' stand-up routines:

** But why?! The answer is in one of his stand-up routines:
-->'''Eddie Murphy:''' Being a comic, though, ain't like bein' no singer. The singers get ''all'' the pussy.

* His recap of Creator/EddieMurphy's career before "Party All The Time", presented as a montage of moments from his stand-up comedy oeuvre.

-->"God, what makes a person think that much plastic surgery is a good idea? That's just grotesque. Sorry, what was the question? Uh, no. No they didn't."

-->'''Todd''': But you already knew that.

-->'''Todd''': I was introduced to this video on an old MTV countdown listing the 25 lamest videos and... [[SincerityMode they weren't wrong.]]

-->'''Todd:''' Look, they had one hit in the US and and a few hits in England. I really don't see how they could've realistically hoped for more.

-->''Too Unique to Ignore But Too Weird to Keep Around'' is my favourite Music/PanicAtTheDisco album.

* "1989 did not need more hair metal. There were so many other new bands coming out that year that they had to compete against including Skid Row, Warrant, Enuff Z'nuff, Faster Pussycat, Vain, Shotgun Messiah, Dangerous Toys, Danger Danger, Bang Tango--oh my god, [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer are these all]] [[PoesLaw real bands?]] I had to have made one of those up. ''Bang Tango?'' Undeterred, Mr. Big recorded a second album in 19... [[OverlyLongGag hold on a second. I'm missing bands here]]. Pretty Boy Floyd, Junkyard, Shark Island, Cats In Boots. [beat] The 80's, everyone."

*
-->'''Captions:''' The failed follow-up.

* Did they deserve better? ''(imitating Michael Jackson)'' "No, no!"
-->'''Todd:''' Even Music/MichaelJackson would have it better [[TurnOfTheMillennium that decade]] than Alien Ant Farm. [[CrossesTheLineTwice And he]] ''[[AuthorExistenceFailure died]]''!

'''Todd:''' Umm... I don't feel like my life was particularly lit up by listening to more Debby Boone.
