History WebVideo / BartBaker

* AnArmAndALeg: Exaggerated, Music/TheWeeknd cuts off all his limbs with a neon cross in the "Starboy" parody and demands Music/DaftPunk to [[OffWithHisHead decapitate him]].

Bart Baker is a [[Website/{{Youtube}} Youtube channel]] started in 2007 and run by, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a guy called Bart Baker]]. The channel's content largely consists of [[{{Parody}} parodies]] of popular music videos directed by Bart, who later started acting in them. These typically mimic the original video in terms of content and outfits worn by the performers, but expect these to be criticized, [[SelfDeprecation often by the performers themselves]], along with unsavory elements of their personal behavior.

* PopculturalOsmosisFailure: In the "Black Beatles" parody, when Rae Sremmurd's producer Mike Will tells them to make a song about how they're the black Beatles, they make dress up as and make a song about how they're black beetles since they've never heard of the band Music/TheBeatles.

* BerserkButton: Music/{{Beck}} has one that gets pushed when Music/KanyeWest says he is not a real artist. Then Kanye gets pushed when Beck yells at him. Which causes Kanye to punch Paul [=McCartney's=] nurse in the face, making Paul suddenly aware that he has been drugged to be in the video. He then, ''literally'', goes berserk and hits Music/{{Rihanna}} and Kanye in the face with a guitar. He then (possibly) beats them to death with it.

* AllThereInThemanual: While Shawn Mendes' ex isn't mentioned by name, it can be inferred that it's Lily. Why? [[spoiler:Because that's the name of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Harry Potter's daughter, who shows up to beat him up too for dumping her]].

-->'''Maroon 5:''' We won’t kill you, but you might, want to commit suicide, after what we have in mind! \\

* GetOut: In the "Worth It" parody, Camilla [[MusicalisInterruptus interrupts the video]] to kick out Kid Ink when he attempts to sing his second verse, which is just the first verse again.

** Nick Crompton in “It’s Everyday Bro” switches from an abysmal English accent (he calls himself “domb” instead of dumb) to a rather obviously American accent for his final line, “My jacket and pants guarantee I get no pussy!”

* AnArmAndALeg: Exaggerated, Music/TheWeeknd cuts off all his limbs with a neon cross in the “Starboy” parody and demands Music/DaftPunk to [[OffWithHisHead decapitate him]].

* AssShove: In the "Worth It" parody, Camilla shoves a golf club into of the mens' ass. He brings this up when he and the other victims of Fifth Harmony's abuse come to sue them.

* SpoofedTheIronicFilmSeriously: His parodies of Psy's "Gentleman" and Macklemore's "Thrist Shop". The original songs were not mean to be serious.

* TooDumbToLive: In the "What Do You Mean" parody, Justin Bieber is extremely stupid: he doesn't know what things like his own arms are, thinks he is blind when his eyes are closed, etc.

* AxCrazy: [[Music/TaylorSwift Taylor Swift]] is this in most parodies of her songs as well as in the "Kiss You" parody.

** [[Series/{{Jackass}} Steve-O]] appears at one point in the "Wrecking Ball" parody to eat a condom. Ron Jeremy also mistakes it for a porn shoot. He also appears at the end of the “Hotline Bling” parody as a call center receptionist.

* RunningGag: In the "Little Things", "Kiss You" and "Best Song Ever" parodies has Niall claim that he plays guitar

* ChekhovsGunman: In the "Dark Horse" parody, one of the Egyptians who throws water at Music/KatyPerry managed to stop her at the end.

--->'''Camilla''': No Kid Ink! Bad Kid Ink! Your second verse is the same as the first! What's the point?! Get your lazy ass out of here! ''(Kid Ink runs out)'' God!"

* IronicName: Silento lampshades this in the “Watch Me Whip/Nae Nae” Parody. “Why in the hell is my name Silento? I’m the opposite, all I do is scream.”

* AnArmAndALeg: Music/TheWeeknd cuts off all his limbs with a neon cross in the “Starboy” parody.

** Many popular [=YouTube=] stars and personalities from Vine, such as LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}, WebVideo/ShaneDawson, Nash Grier, [[WebVideo/JacksFilms Jack Douglass]] and Cameron Dallas.

** "NOBODY FUCKS WITH THE MUPPETS!" from the "[[LongTitle Can't Remember To Forget You]]" parody.

** Simon Cowell's accent actually sounds passable in the "Scream N Shout" parody. But he also doesn't sound like Bart Baker is voicing him. Britney Spears herself is singing in Bart's usual bad accent, but it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] since real-life Britney is also American and sang the original song in a bad English accent.[[labelnote:Also...]]A part of the lyrics of the original song were actually sung by the British singer Tulisa, who co-wroted the ''original'' version with Jean Baptiste for the former's debut album. But Lazy Jay, the track's producer, decided to give the track to will.i.am instead. Although Tulisa's vocals were ''still present in the final song,'' she was not credited, and proceeded to sue will.i.am for royalties in 2012. She finally won the case in 2018, receiving 10% of publishing rights.[[/labelnote]]
