1	Meet RidiculouslyAverageGuy Ryan Peters, aka white rapper Spose from Maine with more than a ridiculous amount of talent. Known for the theme song of Canadian TV show "Mr. D" and underground hit, "I'm Awesome". Also known for doing an album based around Outkast samples and for being/referencing his status as TheStoner and NiceGuy.
2	----
3
4	!! Spose provides examples of tropes such as:
5
6	* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: He has a song where every. Single. Word. Starts. With. R. It's as impressive as it sounds.
7	* DoingItForTheArt[[invoked]]: In universe, executives want him to be like "3oh3, Music/FloRida, mixed with B.O.B." in his song.. well, "Pop Song" but he is achieving this instead while he also invokes the BeYourself trope.
8	* GoshDarnItToHeck: His song "Gee Wilikers", subverts this.
9	--> Gee Willikers, fuck that shit, I bet he doesn't know any black kids.
10	* InformedPoverty: Despite having a hit song, he claims he still can't afford Subway and prefers Mc Donald's.
11	* LovableCoward: In the song "I'm Awesome", he says that he will run away from a brawl. He might also be a MilesGloriosus because he is the "most obnoxious guest up at the sausage fest" in the same song.
12	* PissTakeRap: Ryan makes fun of his status as a white rapper, who are often perceived as less than adept rappers.
13	* PlagiarismInFiction: He jokes that if you enjoy his lyrics, it's probably because they were written by his little sister.
14	* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: He says his "pants sag low even thought that went out of style like 10 years ago".
15	* SelfDeprecation: The whole idea behind "I'm Awesome" is to mock the BoastfulRap formula popular since the dawn of Hip Hop practically... while mocking himself.
16	* ShoutOut:
17	** In "Blow My Candle Out", he has a "list" sequence just like in {{Music/Eminem}}'s "Till I Collapse".
18	--> ''"I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in..."''
19	** "Alternative Radio" is one long love song to [[AlternativeRock the genre]], complete with an AffectionateParody musical and lyrical style. Noting some of the ''many'' shout-outs:
20	*** Bands mentioned by name: Music/{{Weezer}}, Music/ThePixies, Music/TheOffspring, Music/{{Lit}}, Music/{{Rage\|Band}}, Music/{{Tool}}
