History Music / BrentalFloss

-->''This plant has feelings, but you're like'' '''dead.''

* AllGermansAreNazis: In his "Mega Man Boss Interviews" video, Top Man says he wanted to be named Dreidel Man but the German Dr. Wily wouldn't let him. Also, in the "Civilization with Lyrics" video he thinks making Judaism the official religion of Germany is sufficient for creating "Jewish Nazis."
** [[RuleOfFunny Ironically,]] Albert Wily was named after the Jewish [[UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein Albert Einstein]].

* BrickJoke: Duck Butt Lollipop in the comic.

* ButtMonkey: In most of the pages in the Brentalfloss comic.

* CaptainObviousAesop: "The moral of the fable is [[EatsBabies do not eat a baby]], 'cuz he'll become your friend one day, maybe!" Not to say it's a bad lesson in general, only that it's one with much more relevance in the Yoshi community.

* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: The Roommate Song.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In''Limbo With Lyrics'':

* ContinuityNod: Towards the end of the "VideoGame/StarFox Space Oddity" video, Scrooge [=McDuck=] can be seen floating past in space, referring back to the VideoGame/DuckTales Moon Theme video.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: WordOfGod says that the line "Fuck your mom and sister too" in ''Mega Man 3 "Game Over" With Lyrics'' (a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech given by a singing cartridge of Mega Man 3) is "not encouraging incest; rather, it's saying a big 'fuck you' to your mom and your sister. Mega Man 3 may be a dick when you get a game over, but I don't think he's THAT kind of 'mo-fo'."

** In "Ocarina of Time With Lyrics", one of the angry tweets in response to his disparaging tweet about Ocarina of Time is "I can't believe I ever wrote [[HoYay slash about you and Link]]! #Disappointed".

* OminousLatinChanting: His "Gregorian Chant style" cover of the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' theme.
** MondegreenGag: He also utterly deflates OminousLatinChanting with his "Decoded" videos, transcribing what it sounds like to the ear and providing hilarious visual aids.

* PerverseSexualLust: For Music/{{Bjork}}, apparently.
* PrecisionFStrike: Sometimes, the F Bombs can come in small numbers despite Brent's usual reliance on large groups of swears. Case in point:

* SaveScumming: Played with in his "Phoenix Wright with Lyrics" video.

* ShoutOut: Once did one to Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses with "Franchise/{{Metroid}} In 5 Seconds".

* StylisticSuck / RuleOfFunny: The crappy day to night dissolves from Castlevania 2 get a ShoutOut in the 'Castlevania II with lyrics' video.

* TakeThat: Several, but his entry about ''Rayman'' (or, more precisely, ''VideoGame/RaymanLegends'') in his "Game Over Tinies" song stands out - his stance about the game's delay to a [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV more unfortunate]] release date is as straightforward as it gets.

** Becomes a HilariousInHindsight moment when Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto himself stated that Mario didn't exactly use legal means to become a doctor.

* VisualPun: ''Zelda 2 With Lyrics'' includes the lyric "Kicking some ass! Kicking some ass! Kicking some ass!" In the video, this is set to Link slashing with his sword... and then he kicks a donkey.

* WholePlotReference: The entire premise of the 'With Lyrics' songs. Done gloriously.
* WithLyrics: No, really?
* WorldsSmallestViolin: Used (arguably wrongly) in ''Cave Story With Lyrics''.

** AdaptationalJerkass: "''Zelda: A Link to the Past'' with Lyrics" portrays Link as "a massively arrogant asshole" constantly bragging to everyone in Hyrule about his accomplishments.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In ''DK RAP 2018'', [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals Donkey Kong has become a hunter of endangered species, Tiny Kong kills bees for no reason]], and Diddy Kong is a bitter old man who hates his fans and is a member of the alt-right.

* VillainousGlutton: His interprets Kirby as a hungry being who won't stop until he eats everything, including humans.

* VillainousGlutton: His interpretation of Kirby

* WeaponOfChoice: In ''Contra With Lyrics'':
--> "S is what I shall use (Spread Gun Spread Gun muthafucka!)"

--->'''Dr. Emmett L. Brown:''' 88 miles per hooooouuurrrr!!!

** Frequent collaborator 'DemonTomato' Dave Bulmer makes an appearance at the end of ''Super Mario Land 2 With Lyrics'' as a CallBack to the ''SML1'' video (where they agreed that ''6 Golden Coins'' was [[SurprisinglyGoodSequel flat-out better]]).

* BringMyBrownPants: In "Kirby With Lyrics", Brent pretty much advises you do this so Kirby won't think you're tasty.

--> '''Brentalfloss:''' If you won't disavow...
--> '''Dave:''' Listen to your heart...
--> '''Brentalfloss:''' This, your [[SacredCow sacredest cow]].
--> '''Dave:''' If you still know how...
--> '''Both:''' I don't care 'cause / Either way... this ends noooow! (grab each others' shirts and ready blows)

** Sometimes he'll write lyrics to games, but with original music he made himself. For example, the actual theme to ''VideoGame/{{Limbo}}'' is a dark somber track. Yet in Limbo with Lyrics he sings it to an incredibly Upbeat reggae song, as well as the two Bioshock songs are original ragtime [[note]] brentalfloss had no intention of making it ragtime but more" A showtime reduction of 20's/30's swing" and did it Ragtime proper later though without lyrics [[/note]] and Barbershop songs respectively.

* ShoutOut: Once did one to Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses with "VideoGame/{{Metroid}} In 5 Seconds".

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Occasionally, instead of putting lyrics to video game music, he'll put new lyrics about video games to songs that already have lyrics. For example, ''Super Mario World'' to the tune of ''What A Wonderful World''.
** He also has "Without Lyrics" videos, which is him playing the original music.

** His live shows tend to have him launch into the first verse of Come Sail Away by Styx when wrapping up Ducktales with Lyrics.

** {{Mondegreen}}: He also utterly deflates OminousLatinChanting with his "Decoded" videos, transcribing what it sounds like to the ear and providing hilarious visual aids.

* BaldOfAwesome: Him.

* BadassBeard: The man himself.

** There's a part in the "Kirby with Lyrics" video where a crowd is running away from Kirby in fear. Most of them are cosplayers, and pausing the video allows you to see a lot of characters are being cosplayed ([[Manga/OnePiece Luffy, Law]], [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash, Misty]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]]...).

Listen to his works [[https://www.youtube.com/user/brentalfloss here]] (or [[http://blip.tv/brentalfloss here]]), his first CD [[http://brentalfloss.bandcamp.com/album/what-if-this-cd-had-lyrics here]], and the instrumental version of his CD [[http://brentalfloss.bandcamp.com/album/what-if-this-cd-didnt-have-lyrics here.]] He also has an [[http://www.brentalfloss.com official website.]]

* FantasticAesop: "The moral of the fable is [[EatsBabies do not eat a baby]], 'cuz he'll become your friend one day, maybe!" Not to say it's a bad lesson in general, only that it's one with much more relevance in the Yoshi community.

** "The Game Over Tinies" has the line "everyone gets one eventually" in its chorus, which used to be [[https://www.youtube.com/user/GameOverContinue Youtube user GameOverContinue's]] CatchPhrase[=/=]slogan/motto. The video itself is a parody of Creator/EdwardGorey's morbid ''The Gashlycrumb Tinies'', set to music.

* {{Mondegreen}}: Possibly invoked in "Earthbound with Lyrics", which contains a line that could be heard as "some other game" or "some ''[[VideoGame/EarthboundBeginnings Mother]]'' game", both of which would make sense in the context of the song.

** "What if ''VideoGame/OcarinaOfTime'' Had Lyrics?": On one side, you have Dave who boasts about the game taking the next step in graphics, presentation, and gameplay. On the other hand, you have Brent who hates the 3D graphics (especially in comparison to ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''), the awkward changes to the gameplay, and how the step 'up' to 3D ruined the classic formula perfected in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast''.

** "[[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] With Lyrics" starts with a shout of "[[VideoGame/MortalKombat MORAL KOMBAT!]]"

* ContinuityNod: Towards the end of the VideoGame/StarFox Space Oddity video, Scrooge [=McDuck=] can be seen floating past in space, referring back to the VideoGame/DuckTales Moon Theme video.

** Luigi's Mansion 3 with Lyrics includes a brief parody of Music/{{Eagles}} ''Hotel California''.
