-->"Or maybe this, too, was a metaphor. A metaphor for how we believe we're destined for greatness and we spend our lives working and training until we're ready, but the moment never comes, and [[RealitySubtext we find ourselves with NO job, NO forseeable future, '''REVIEWING KISS ALBUMS FOR A LIVING!!!!]]'''"

* FlatWhat: In his video on Music/MusicFromTheElder, Spaceman responds to the line "Only you are the {{Manchild}}" with this.

** As well as his response to the lyric "But now before you lies the quest at hand. And from this boy, you may become a man."

* BrickJoke: Early on in Spaceman's first Worst Censored Lyrics video, he talks about "Lola" by Music/TheKinks and how they had to censor the lyric "It takes just like Coca-Cola" to "It tastes just like [[BlandNameProduct cherry cola]]." Later in the video, when he makes fun of the Music/KidzBop cover of "Born This Way" by Music/LadyGaga:

-->**Spaceman:** The original song probably spoke to a lot of gay or trans kids growing up, feeling like they didn't fit in, like they were freaks, unnatural, but heard this song tell them, "Hey, you're awesome no matter who you are and who you love, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." But by removing these lines, it completely undermines the original song's message of acceptance! And for anyone who's about to say, "Well, kids shouldn't hear about homosexuality because then it'll turn them gay," do you realize how you ''fucking'' sound?

* PrecisionFStrike: In his parody of The Trial at the end of his [[Music/TheWall The Wall: Live In Berlin]] review, Spaceman delivers the line "You little twat, you're in it now!"

** In ''Eat Me: The Musical'', Peter and Morgan [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext smoke kudzu]] and their dialogue runs backwards, but the subtitles don't actually match what they're saying. Spaceman mocks this with his own backwards, subtitled gag:

* TakeThat: In ''Music/MusicFromTheElder'':

--> '''Spaceman:''' What quest? How will he become a man? What, [[Film/RockyHorrorPictureShow in just seven days, you'll make hm a man?]] Tell me, Gene!

-->'''Spaceman:''' Did... did {{manchild}} mean something different back in TheEighties? I don't know, "manchild" usually makes me think about those grown adults who make two-hour video essays about how cartoons were better in the good old days. ''Cuts to an image of such videos''

* AlternateAesopInterpretation: [[InUniverse Spaceman himself]] has one in his review of ''Film/RockItsYourDecision'':

* GilliganCut: In his review of Music/MusicFromTheElder, Spaceman questioned whether anyone was still interested in ProgressiveRock in the early Eighties right before cutting to [[spoiler: [[Music/MovingPictures Tom Sawyer]] by Music/Rush.]]

* {{Narm}}: [[InUniverse Spaceman tries not to laugh]] when [[Music/{{Kiss}} Gene Simmons]] sheds a tear at the end of the music video for [[Music/MusicFromTheElder A World Without Heroes]].

* GilliganCut: In his review of Music/MusicFromTheElder, Spaceman questioned whether anyone was still interested in ProgressiveRock in the early Eighties right before cutting to [[Music/MovingPictures Tom Sawyer]].

** Also in his ''Music/MusicFromTheElder'' review, he also shouts out WebAnimation/TheOdd1sOut by mentioning his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr98H6LVt8k 5-hour Energy theory.]]

* {{Anvilicious}}: InUniverse, he accuses ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' of being this, citing both the trope name and [[Wiki/ThisVeryWiki TV Tropes itself]].
