10	The Gregory Brothers are a comedy music group, also known by their Website/YouTube channel name "[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNYrK4tc5i1-eL8TXesH2pg schmoyoho]]". They went viral in 2009 with the debut of their series ''WebVideo/AutoTuneTheNews'', which was eventually renamed ''Songify the News''. They followed up this with tunes "songifying" political debates, movies, and memes. They've also produced original songs, sometimes collaborating with musicians like Music/WeirdAlYankovic, Music/{{Blondie\|Band}}, WebVideo/JonTron, and Music/{{Roomie}}.

14	!!Tropes applying to The Gregory Brothers:
15
16	* AnthropomorphicFood: Music/{{Roomie}} in "Pizza Love" sees a woman as a slice of pizza, and she later sees him as a taco.
17	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
18	** In "Dead Fish Handshake", the singer says Steve wrecked by life by taking his girl, his job, and his last pizza slice.
19	** The song where Music/WeirdAlYankovic moderates the first 2020 debate includes a list of terrible things that are happening at that time, including the fact that he lost his car keys.
20	* AutoIncorrect: The song "Penguin On Me (Autocorrect Love Song)" features two lovers attempting to communicate through text, but are thwarted by their phone's autocorrect feature, which changes all of their messages into random nonsense, none of which resembling anything similar to the original messages.
21	* AutoTune: All of their songs employ this.
22	* BandOfRelatives: Evan, Michael and Andrew Gregory are brothers, and Sarah is Evan's wife.
23	* BirdPoopGag: Happens to the woman in the "SDGAF" segment of "Love Is Like Drugs", but naturally she doesn't care. WebVideo/JonTron later notices it and smells fecal matter.
24	* ButterflyOfDoom: The singer in "Dead Fish Handshake" goes back in time to [[HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct kill Adolf Hitler]] with his cringey handshake, and says that he'll soon cease to exist because of the butterfly effect.
25	* CreatorCameo: LetsPlay/CaptainSparklez has a cameo in "Creeper, Aw Man by Obama".
26	* DarkReprise: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdBF6h7oH5I Bad Hombres, Nasty Women]]" of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AreTsuFUOs FINAL DEBATE SONGIFIED]]". The changes in the actual arrangements are fairly subtle - some indeterminate electric organ chords layered over, some open fifths in the vocal arrangement changed to minor thirds, use of Weird Al's heavier voice for the moderator, and a slower flow used for Clinton vs. Trump compared to Obama vs. Romney. The nastier, more vicious tone of the IRL 2016 election fills in the rest of the detail.
27	* ExhortTheDiscJockeySong: PlayedForLaughs in "DJ Play My Song (No Leave Me Alone)", where the DJ keeps trying to explain that he doesn't take requests and the music is already as loud as it will go.
28	* TheGenerationGap: "Millennials Are Killing Everything" riffs off of article headlines describing how millennials are ruining just about everything.
29	* GibberishOfLove: The premise of "Herp de Derp" is about being awkward when encountering around loved ones.
30	* GlassesPull: Michael does this in "Winning", revealing another pair of glasses.
31	* GratuitousNinja: Ninjas show up in the yodelling videos with Takeo Ischi, starting with "Chicken Attack".
32	* GreetingGestureConfusion: In the music video for "Love Is Like Drugs", WebVideo/JonTron has to decide whether his girlfriend will give him a hug or a bro handshake.
33	* TheInternetIsForPorn: The premise of "Bowsette (Everything On The Internet Is Sexy)", though it's downplayed in the music video, which showcases lots of {{Fanservice}}.
34	* LoveAtFirstSight: In the music video for "Pizza Love", Music/{{Roomie}} is at a party and sees a woman personified as a slice of pizza and instantly falls in love.
35	* LoveIsADrug: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mItWfoNnUag Love is like Drugs]]" is this, mixed with {{Dissimile}}.
36	-->''Being in love is like being on drugs, without the potential brain damage''
37	* LoveMakesYouDumb: "Herp de Derp" combines this with GibberishOfLove.
38	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Evan occasionally makes an appearance as a shameless streaker, while those around him react with minor annoyance.
39	* NatureHero: In "Chicken Attack", Takeo Ischi is a man in an opera outfit who has "the power of nature and can bend every beast and tree to his will", which he uses to transform chickens into ninja warriors to fight evil ninjas. The sequel "Chicken Pig Attack" adds a pig to Takeo's ninja weaponry. Then a week later the Takeo Cinematic Universe expands with "Rat Attack - The Yodel of Justice", where a dungeon rat joins the fight.
40	* NoSocialSkills: The characters in "Herp de Derp" say they're "extraordinally socially inept".
41	* PronouncingMyNameForYou: Their outro song says, "schmoYOho, accent on the yo."
42	* ReferenceOverdosed: Their "[=YouTube SchmoWind=]" series have lots of memes.
43	* RhymingWithItself: In "DJ Play My Song (NO, LEAVE ME ALONE)", the singer rhymes "up" with "up", which the DJ {{lampshades}}.
44	* {{Scatting}}: In [[https://youtu.be/un9x-DjTMT0 the song about the first 2020 Presidential debate]], Music/WeirdAlYankovic ends up scatting through the first question to the candidates. Turns out [[FailedASpotCheck he was reading the paper upside-down]].
45	* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: In "Pizza Love", Music/{{Roomie}} gets "Paper Towélss®", which are "not paper towels and function with 85% less absorption." Roomie and the pizza woman take to the streets to raise awareness against these knock-offs.
46	* StringTheory: Sarah has one in "Spooky Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", which she uses to schedule when she's going to kidnap people and play charades with them.
47	* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion:
48	** "Chicken Attack" starts with saying that "a man with the power of nature can bring you to the end of your luck," and that you'll know "that you're about to be massively forced to give up!"
49	** Subverted in the next verse, which preserves the rhyme, adding a PrecisionFStrike.
50	* SucksAtDancing: In "DJ Play My Song (No, Leave Me Alone)", the DJ criticize the singer's dancing.
51	* TakeThat: Most of their political songs include digs at politicians. For example, Hillary Clinton gets her own diss track and Trump goes crazy when his teleprompter breaks down.
52	* TakingTheBullet: In "Pizza Love", Roomie jumps in front of somebody who spills a beer to save his LoveAtFirstSight.
53	* ThemeTuneExtended: To celebrate getting the 3 million subscribers, they released "The Full Schmoyoho Song", which expands on their outro song.
54	* UncannyValleyGirl: "Spooky Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" has Sarah nonchalantly kidnapping the Gregory Brothers to bring them to her party.
55	* VoiceClipSong: They make quite a few of these in ''Songify the Movies''.
56	* WikiWalk: "Trapped On Wikipedia" is about getting stuck on one of these on Website/{{Wikipedia}} after watching things based on true events, and then doing the same thing on Wookieepedia after watching things that are fictional.
