1* The characters SpeakingSimlish in the cutscenes of ''Guitar Hero III'', especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWxyQAvdfRo&t=80s here]].
2* ''World Tour'': Music/JimiHendrix coming out and telling the band guitarist to get off the stage. The guitarist's reaction to ''Hendrix'' appearing before him is priceless.
3* Second Game: The ''[[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap Spinal Tap]]'' reference where the drummer blows up after the end of ''Tonight, I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight'' (Depending on what console you're playing on in career mode; Specifically the Platform/{{PS2}} or the Platform/XBox360 UpdatedRerelease).
4* ''Guitar Hero 5'' doesn't assign gender roles to its lead singers for career mode, meaning that male singer character can sing a song with a female singer and vice-versa... leading to some rather hilarious moments like Axel Steel, with his buff arms and general manly-man appearance singing Music/NoDoubt's Ex-Girlfriend. Sadly, this was fixed in ''Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock''.
5** Also, check out Music/CarlosSantana singing "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeKOmr41xR4 Low]]" by Music/FloRida.
6* Fail 'Rag Doll' on ''Guitar Hero: Music/{{Aerosmith}}'' and Joe Perry will kick his slide guitar over.
7* Starting [[Music/{{Dragonforce}} Through the Fire and Flames]] in the third game on expert replaces the usual loading screen message with "[[LampshadeHanging Good Luck]]"
8* ''Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock''. [[Music/{{Queen}} Bohemian Rhapsody]]. [[NarmCharm That is all]].
9* Four sections in ''Warriors of Rock'''s "[[ThatOneLevel Fury of the Storm]]" are called "[[OhCrap OMG]][[PrecisionFStrike WTF]][[MemeticMutation BBQ]]?!!?" A, B, [[RuleOfThree C]], and [[OverlyLongGag D]].
10* One more from the [=WoR=] setlist: [[Music/NineInchNails Wish]] very prominently has "BAD LUCK, FIST FUCK" as part of its lyrics. Standard protocol for censorship is to simply remove the offending word from the song entirely. Here, the word's excision means the static-y sound effect under it takes prominence - making it seem like the word was outright bleeped out.
11* The LoadingScreen message for "Trogdor" in ''Guitar Hero 2'' is written in typical ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' fashion.
12-->For squeadlies, mash on the trembalo. For meadlies, tone up on your chord surpassers. Oh, and I'm awesome.
13* ''Guitar Hero 2'' has this CreditsGag:
14-->No pitchers were harmed in the making of this game. [[TakeThat Except for one. Joel Zumaya. He had it coming]].[[note]]Explaining: Zumaya allegedly hurt his wrist with the first game and, for that, he was left out of the Tigers team that played on ALCS '06. While Zumaya says that's not true, he allows people to think it is, preferring not to tell his own side of the story.[[/note]]
15* The fact that, in ''GH Metallica'', your band is called (at least in the cutscenes) "Metallica Jr." It's either the least creative name one could give a tribute band, or the ''most'' creative one, depending on how you look at it. Either way, it's so ridiculous it's hilarious.
16* Also from ''Metallica'', Lars Ulrich [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSEpStpOBYM trying and failing miserably]] to play "The Shortest Straw" like he did in ''...And Justice for All''. By the end of it, he's feeling completely defeated.
17-->''(whimpering)'' The day ''Guitar Hero'' broke Lars... ('''Crew:''' Lars, what just happened?) I'm sorry... I'm sorry for all the bad things I've done in my life.
