1* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: The safety message at the start of ''You On Kazoo!'' tells its viewers not to run, jump or dance while playing the kazoo, however Brett and the other kids in the video do all of these things, outside that is, whereas the viewers at home are inside. Technically speaking, the message and the way it is distributed could be an honest-to-goodness sign of preventing indoor-outdoor safety hazard.
2%% * EnsembleDarkhorse:
3%% ** [[NoIndoorVoice JONATHAAAAN!]]
4%% ** The girl who didn't know who Brett was.
5%% ** The kid in "Let's sing along", who's [[AudienceSurrogate fed up with everything]], covering his ears.
6* FountainOfMemes: Pretty much the ''entire'' thing.
7* MemeticMutation:
8%% ** Brett with his Kazoo, also known as "Kazoo Kid".
9** "Wait a minute... Who ARE you?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Brett's initial reaction to the viewer; often used as a reaction video to dismiss strangers on the Internet.[[/labelnote]]
10%% ** "FUNFUNFUNFUNFUN!"
11%% ** "I just wanted to say: Thanks... partner."
12%% ** "[[OverlyLongGag I was supposed to meet them here, on the ramp]]. But I can't see them ANYWHERE!"
13%% ** "Brett, who's Brett?" "[[AllOfTheOtherReindeer Hahahahahaha]]"
14%% ** "We want Bread! We want Bread!"
15* MemeticMolester:
16** The Pretend Spirit. He sounds like a stereotypical pedophile and watches a group of children while being nowhere to be seen.
17** Brett himself becomes this in "Ring-Along, Sing-Along", when he creepily crawls towards the camera.
18* MemeticPsychopath: Brett in "Ring-Along, Sing-Along". The Little Girl asked who he was and suddendly disappeared in the next shot. Some joked that Brett [[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub deleted]] her.
19* RetroactiveRecognition: Noel [=MacNeal=], later known as [[Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse Bear]] and [[Series/BetweenTheLions the second Lionel Lion]], voices the Pretend Spirit in and narrates the safety message at the start of ''You on Kazoo!''.
20* SoBadItsGood: Very much so. It rivals ''Film/TheRoom2003'' in how hilariously poor-quality and [[FountainOfMemes memetic]] it is.
21* TearJerker: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1C7l9xeVI4 The ending credits]], especially the piano music, the forest stock footage scene and some of the kids (most notably the girls, who had their voices re-dubbed) laughing, giggling, and saying "goodbye," "see you later," and "so long," from the beginning to the very end. For those of you who feel the need to cope with those feelings.
22* TheWoobie:
23** Brett in "You On Kazoo" can be relateable, due to being an awkward kid, who doesn't know [[NoSocialSkills how to connect to people]], yet [[IJustWantToHaveFriends wants to have friends]]. However, he can come across as [[CreepyChild creepy]] or [[{{Wangst}} whiny]] instead.
24** The little Girl, who didn't know who Brett was, [[DisproportionateRetribution due to being bullied by the other kids for it]].
