9	!! ''Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special'' contains examples of:
10
11	* AdamWesting: Michael Bolton plays himself, but weirder.
12	* BaitAndSwitch: The mattress salesman sees a spare guard uniform and declares he's found a way into the studio. He throws the uniform at the guards to distract them.
13	* BigFancyHouse: Michael's Love Nest was designed by clinically insane Swedish architects to encourage optimal lovemaking.
14	* BigNo: When he gets a series of horrifying texts from his girl, he unleashes two of these.
15	* CrazyPrepared: Michael's dance instructor teaches him a special routine in case a group of punks burst in on the special and call him lame. It happens.
16	* DarkestHour: [[spoiler: Near the end of the special, Michael's relationship is on the rocks, the baby-making has stalled out, and Santa is shot dead.]]
17	* InterestingSituationDuel: Michael duels Kenny G's sax with vocals. They're singing/playing Dueling Banjos.
18	* OnlySaneMan: Michael is odd, but most of the guests are much odder.
19	* PoorCommunicationKills: Michael's girlfriend texts him, saying there's a new man in her life. [[spoiler: She means she's pregnant with his son.]]
20	* RearrangeTheSong: Does a ballad version of the famous "Jack Sparrow." Which you can also find on his subsequently released album, ''Songs of Cinema!''
21	* SadTimesMontage: Naturally, set to Michael's own "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You." Unfortunately, this completely ruins a segment with a very flummoxed Creator/CaseyWilson.
22	** This actually parodies Michael's "Said I Loved You... But I Lied" video with the excessive overlays of horses, deserts and eagles.
23	-->'''Michael (sobbing over a Final Cut Pro session):''' I need more pictures of horses!!
24	* SurrealHumor: You can tell Music/TheLonelyIsland had a big hand in this.
25	* StylisticSuck: The Dancing Cupids in TheStinger.
26	-->'''Michael:''' So fuckin' good.
27	* TemptingFate: Santa tells Michael to sing "Nessun dorma", but Michael points out that every time it's played in TV or movies, someone is assassinated. Santa says ThisIsReality.
28	* ThatPoorCat: When Michael tosses a gun offscreen. Kenny G objects to how Michael just blatantly killed a cat, but Michael refuses to admit it.
29	* ThePowerOfRock: Namely, the power of big, sexy ballads to make babies.
30	* TransformationSequence: [[spoiler: At the time it's needed the most, Michael Bolton transforms into ''Peak 90s Bolton.'' Complete with golden mullet and denim shirt.]]
31	* TriggerHappy: When Santa arrives to give ol' Boltron his mission, Michael naturally assumes he needs to kill someone and immediately cocks a gun.
32	** And then later, when he meets Kenny G:
33	-->'''Kenny G:''' You betrayed your true nature, and for that, I shall destroy you!!!
34	-->'''Michael:''' Fine. ''[cocks gun]'' Let's do this.
35	-->'''Kenny G:''' ''Whoa!'' Chill! I meant with ''music,'' man; what is it with you and guns?
36	* TruckDriversGearChange: Parodied to hell and back thanks to Creator/MayaRudolph, who does a couple dozen of these in one two-minute song.
