[[folder: Faith Hill - ''Cry'' (2002)]]
* Todd suspects that radio stations used the excuse "Not country enough" to cover for the fact that they thought the album was just bad.
* The short segment "Faith Hill having no stage presence for 1 minute" to show how awkward and stilted Faith Hill could be onstage.
* A song from the album ended up on the ''Lilo & Stitch'' soundtrack...in Japan.

* Despite their featured artists being big at the time, as the turn of the millennium came and went neither "Them Girls" or "The School of Old" were released as singles. Maybe because of overexposure or simply their management could sense that after three years and two delays the album was destined to flop. Fred Durst seemed mystified by this, considering he actually ''wanted'' to do the song and wondering why his manager's word trumped not only what he wanted, but that of his record label's vice president, Frederick Allen Mayne III--in other words, ''[[DidntThinkThisThrough also]]'' '''[[DidntThinkThisThrough FRED DURST]]'''. Considering even at the height of their popularity both men were still considered to be kinda joke acts, as one commenter put it:
-->'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBgiQJXTbpI&lc=UgxZl7Qw6DMeGDHSYbF4AaABAg ghost mall]]''': You know it's bad when Kid Rock and Fred Durst were the only things going for you… And even they bailed

* Todd gives a nuanced view on Nickleback's CriticalBacklash, making it seem like he is going to change his long-time stance on them... [[BaitAndSwitch
but then sticking to his guns]] and maintaining he "could have left their names on the 'Worst Band Ever' list".

** When reviewing the actual song, Todd is also quick to note that despite this song being one of the more ridiculous songs Nickelback ever released, almost ''nobody'' mentions it due to how bad the album sales were! He also gives them the nickname 'Discoback.'

* If Nickelback were going to get back on top in the 2010s, it stood to reason that they needed something distinctly of the moment to propel them. Cue Occupy Wall Street footage, and Todd reveals they released a politically-charged single called "Edge Of A Revolution", inspired by Occupy, the Arab Spring, and, at the time it was recorded, ''the first wave of BLM protests''.

** Todd manages to [[WaxingLyrical drop a reference]] to Music/TheBeatles' "Revolution"[[note]]Either the single or Revolution 1, not Revolution 9[[/note]] when he realises what's happening and manages to up the incredulity.

-->'''Todd:''' What do you think their "one hit" even is? They had ''tons'' of hits! ''That was the problem!''

* Todd opens the video with a live commentary on the infamous video of [[MemeticMutation Nickelback rage-quiting in the middle of their own show]] and calling it "classic internet."

** At one point, Durst decides to rap about the titular "them girls" bringing home Music/LimpBizkit sex toys for their boyfriends to use. Todd shudders at the thought.

* Even though Todd isn't a fan, he admits Nickelback jokes can be kind of hacky, citing an episode of ''Series/OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding'' that called them a OneHitWonder as one that actually offended him on the band's behalf.

* In spite of the band's terrible 2000s reputations, a decline in their commercial popularity, and the mutual erosion of the hard-rock radio ecosystem that once supported them, Todd admits that Music/{{Nickelback}} never had a spectacular fall from grace so much as they just gradually petered out and lost relevance. Nevertheless, he continues, if a band shows up on this show, "that can only mean they did something funny." He then immediately introduces "She Keeps Me Up", a GenreShift into {{Funk}} and {{Disco}} of all things, and the music video has them in clean cut suits.

* Todd summing up the apathy around Nickelback as individual entertainers by revealing that Chad's surname is pronounced "Kruger", not "KROH-ger" as everyone else assumed it was, and nobody seemed to care enough -- not even Chad, who didn't bother to correct them for years. "Well, it's Kroh-ger now, goddamn it, too late now!"

"Well, it's Kroh-ger now, goddamn it, too late now!"

* Todd admits early on in the video that he has become obsessed with a song registered on ASCAP with the really odd pairing of Chad Kroeger and Music/CarlyRaeJepsen, "a collaboration only possibly in the incestuous Canadian music industry," as two of the four co-writers in spite of not even knowing if it has even been recorded at all. Towards the end of the video, he mentions that song again with the hashtag "[=#ReleaseTheCarlyRaeCut=]" popping up on screen.

** He's also amused by the song's title, "I Admit That There Was Music", as it's kind of an ironic name for a song that nobody has ever heard.

* Introducing Music/TheBeatles' drummer, Music/RingoStarr, as "the man." Not "the man, the myth, the legend," just "the man."
