* From a 1996 special (with the original/parody videos): Al has a tattoo done of "Kennedy 4 Ever" (The VJ), then later on adding a rendering of her face. When the latter doesn't turn out so well, he asks to have it "crossed out" instead of going through a removal--And is ''agonizing'' going into the commercial break.

It also goes on for an innumerable amount of installments, literally ever single one of which ends with a ShockingSwerve.

Some of Usher's dance moves and gestures fit the lyrics ''so well'', it was uncanny--for example, "when I'm kissing you, I fantasize you're a midget!" plays when Usher kneels in front of the woman and hugs her legs, and the spoken part in the bridge "remember that shirt you got me for my birthday? Well, I returned it for store credit.[[note]]That-that thing was hideous, what were you ''thinking''?[[/note]]" plays just after Usher has stripped off his undershirt in the video. At other junctures, the lyrics make Usher's dramatic gesturing narmtastically funny: for instance, he agonizes on his knees over giving his significant other buttered toast he dropped and picked up off of the floor ''as if it's the worst thing he's ever done''. One gets the sense that Al was writing the lyrics while watching the original music video.
