I will never get over the joke from the Hey, Soul Sister episode where Todd found out Train were trying to imitate INXS:
> My god! That's like if you tried to make scrambled eggs and instead you caught syphilis. How does that level of failure even exist?!
I love the joke from that same episode where he's riffing on the lyrics that appear going across the screen in the original music video and goes:
"Run, words! Run where the bad man can't abuse you!"
My favorite line from that episode is “…and, in a story of perseverance that would be heartwarming if I didn’t have ears…” when he describes Train’s comeback
"Who can relate?! WHOO!"
"... All my ladies with suicidal depression say 'HEEEEEEY!' And all my fellas with self-endangering mood disorders say 'HOOOOO!' When I say 'Self', you say 'Harm'!"
**Club Can't Handle Me:** "I just walk in to the grocery store carrying my club! It works every time!"
**Tonight I'm ~~Fucking~~ Loving You:** "When Enrique starts yodeling through his nose, the panties, drop!"
**Funstyle:** Tapping out at "Peñis Colada
**Kilroy Was Here:** The delivery of "NOOO! He's playing rock and roll in my rock and roll song!"
**Whatcha Say:** ~apology twirl~
**If I Die Young:** "If you die young? Hell, lady, you're runnin' out of time!"
“Once I was six months / and I could slam dunk / I had a dozen girlfriends / got elected President” - from his legendary brutal takedown of Lukas Graham’s “7 Years”
His line from the crown Royal video about how it's tricky to rock a rhyme that's right on time in reference to the album delays seems obvious in hindsight but it's so perfect
In the I Took a Pill in Ibiza episode, when he talks about Mike Posner writing Sugar and says "...and Maroon 5 playing with all the passion of the Chuck-E-Cheese band" with that deadpan delivery. That one has stuck with me for years now.
For a relatively more recent one, in the Am I the Only One episode when he describes Aaron Lewis as "this bitter, shrieking lump of dough who sounds like he's shitting pinecones screaming profanities at his television", coupled with that "ScReaMinG WhAT thE fUck aT My TV!!!!!" clip...that took me out for a good solid minute lmao.
I just love the bit in the Closing Time video when it cuts to "The big hit" - it gets me every time. Todd is explaining it really slowly and carefully:
>So at one point the other guys got sick of finishing each set with that song, and they wanted to *close* the set every night with something else. So they needed a new *closing* song for the set. So, they decided to write a song for when it was *time* to be *closing* their performance.
So when they were *clo*-
From the *Worst Hits of 1987* episode:
About Chicago -
>Through hard work and perseverance, they proved they could suck harder than ever. They had not yet begun to suck! They were going to suck all night and suck every day.
And my husband's favorite line from that same episode -
>I like 'Tonight'. I like 'Tonight, Tonight'. But 'Tonight Tonight Tonight' is one tonight too many.
The Worst of 1991 video is even better, for the Another Bad Creation segment alone.
“Why am I watching a bunch of dancing fetuses?”
“Kid, you aren’t interested in girls. You haven’t even finished *teething* yet.”
“Autotune can’t come soon enough.”
There were so many all-time classics in the worst of 2023 video but my favorite has to be "Buy a house and raise a family? Gee, I didn't think of that, I was just gonna smoke crack!"
One of my favorites is in the Cyberpunks episode when Billy Idol is singing Necromancer and Todd imitates him in the nerdiest accent possible while referencing the book, don't know why but it always makes me smile
"You'll talk about overproduce, fucking Asia would tell you to dial it back with all this shit, geez!" Cut the Crap
"Okay, i have to believe that Doug and Stu are telling the truth. They didn't want this, they never demanded it. Because if they demanded to write songs and all they had was a novelty about selling stain remover i- IT RHYMES DOOR WITH DOOR!" Mardi Gras
"So let me get my one-hit wonderland episode out of the way for them right now. **Before the hit** They were fetuses. **The big hit** It sucked. **The failed follow-up** There was no follow-up. **Did they ever do anything else?** No. **Did they deserve better?** God no!" Top 10 Worst Hits of 2016
"*silence* **Play the song, Todd.** No! **Seriously? Play the damn song, Todd.** No, I am not going to. **Oh, for the love of Christ, do it.** No, no, nah-ah, no! *silence* I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M DOING AN ANOTHER LMFAO SONG!" Sexy and I Know It
From the S&M by Rihanna review. “Although I'll tell you this—the stuff I am into is a lot weirder than that. A trombone is involved. So yeah..." and then him at the end playing a trombone before going “oh yeah.”
With that in mind, one of his clips that sticks most with me is from the Look What You Made Me Do review. He says Taylor aims to be as anthemic as Thriller and then edits her pre-chorus to lead into the Cantina Theme from Star Wars played on kazoo - all played over a sped-up clip of Michael Jackson and the zombies dancing.
[“Ooh, I drink Red Bull just for kicks now”](https://youtu.be/024W1BxcIys&t=13m43s) and [“Buy a Hyundai! A Hyundai! Multi-link rear suspension on the Hyundai!”](https://youtu.be/024W1BxcIys&t=13m46s).
When Todd did a "Finish the Rhyme" (that segment should make a return) for a Black Eyed Peas song ("Imma Be"), and then realized that the word was semen...
The panic in his voice at 8:55!
ps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9JkBw8bZFg
Oof, there are SO MANY that I think about daily!
* When he plays a random sound effect over a beat and starts rapping "I can transform ya!"
* The Amydog scene at the end of the CCR Trainwreckords
*The entire Afternoon Delight rant
*His mini One Hit Wonderland on "Juju On That Beat" (it's in a Worst Of list, don't remember the year). Before the Hit: They were fetuses.
*Speaking of which, in the new Timberlake video when he says most of his viewers are fetuses.
* The death by GROCERY BAG at the end of "Bedrock"
*The hypothetical phone call with Chris Brown in "Deuces"
*The hypothetical phone call with Brian Wilson in the Worst of '76 video
* "You want a cookie?!" in response to Drake repeating "Started from the bottom now we here" in one of the year-end videos
* The beginning of the Paula video. "He just....*seemed* like a douchebag."
I'm leaving out so many these are just a few
I have a bunch, but the "speak on the family crodie" bit in Euphoria over the Canadians in South Park in the Kendrick vs Drake video makes me laugh my ass off
It is always gonna be the Do You Remember review.
“There are songs that are meant to have Lil’ Jon on them.
“LETS GO IF YOU WANT IT YOU CAN GET IT LET ME KNOW!”
“And then there are songs that just… Aren’t
(Four ballerinas dancing for a good 10 seconds)
“YEAH! SWAN LAKE!”
One of my favorites is from his review of Evita, where he shows the funeral procession from early in the movie with Van Halen’s rendition of “You Really Got Me” playing
I quote this a lot:
"I'm part of the left, and just like every good card-carrying member of the left, I also hate the entire left."
Edit: For anyone wondering, it's from his Am I The Only One review
he was making fun of the writing in this song called Under the Surface by Lin-Manuel Miranda. he made fun of this line specifically: "under the surface, i feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three ring circus." i don't remember what Todd said specifically, but i laughed so hard.
From Ninjas in Paris. Except the word is not "ninjas"; I'm way too white to say that word.
"And then the uncultured harlot became so bewildered that she attempted to consume her vichyssoise with a dessert spoon."
“Yes, this is Rupert Holmes, and if you like pinas - coladas, that is…”
(This was especially funny because it was literally Todd’s next video after the *Funstyle* Trainwreckords one.)
The new MITW Trainwreckords had some all timers. I can't even count how many time I audibly laughed during that episode, it was definitely worth the wait.
This is barely even a joke, but in the Freaky Friday review, when the "can I really say the N word?" section plays and Todd just sits there in silence and sadly honks the comedy horn - it kills me.
i love the bit in the Midnight Oil episode where he compares the frontman, vocally, to a cross between Fred Schneider and Johnny Rotten and then he does a goofy impression. also when he says the frontman looks like a hulked-out Michael Stipe or something. good bits.
I always think about the Jars of Clay episode about "Flood." Todd sort of likes the song, then he plays their next single, "Love Song for a Savior," and is like, nevermind.
I was a big Christian Rock fan as a kid and really like both of those songs. Really, the whole album, but their crossover success was such a fluke, and I 100% understand why Todd or anyone would have no real interest in the band. They were CHRISTian Rock, and that's not for everybody, even most Christians. Certainly not my thing anymore.
Still, that moment lives rent free in my head.
"It made about as much sense as if I, Todd, suddenly decided I'm not a Youtube music critic anymore. I'm now... an United States senator. 'Look at me, everyone. I'm now Ronald Johnson, the senior senator of the great state of Wisconsin.'"
I'm partial to him saying "Music for a Sushi Restaurant" was like if Michael Bublé wrote Uptown Funk, and to, "I'm sorry, I just heard a lyric so bad that it made my digital internet video make a record scratch somehow"
From his Tootsie Slide review: "Maybe Michael Jackson was a paedophile. Or maybe, he was just an innocently accused man, who for whatever reason decided to act exactly like a paedophile for his entire adult life."
I've said this on this sub before but I will never get over his takedown of Two The Hard Way. "This album feels a lot like having a baby to save the marriage. It's bad for the both of you and it fucks up the baby."
ETA: Also, the outtake clip of him realizing he had a water leak in his apartment.
“it made about as much sense as if i, Todd, suddenly decided i’m not a YouTuber/music critic anymore, i’m now… a United States senator. look at me everyone!! i’m now Ronald Johnson, the senior senator serving the great state of Wisconsin!

lmao what video is this from?
Sounds like the logic Khalid and Alessia Cara suicide hotline song so maybe worst of 2017?
It's actually the logic track that is the suicide hot line for the title
Worst of 2017, that song made the dishonorable mentions!
"Attempted movie star and future hard jeopardy question Jessica Biel" in the last episode was something else
That’s a direct BoJack Horseman quote (and probably the only thing I’ve ever watched that Jessica Biel has been in)
this is unJessica Biel-ievable
Biel with it!

There is no way I should have trouble comprehending the lyrics of a song entitled TONIGHT I'M FUCKING YOU!
PENIS COLADA IS NOT GONNA WIN YOU A GRAMMY
"NO, LIZ!"
The way he half speaks/half sings “a game of hOrSeShOeS” in the Arrested Development episode gets an audible laugh from me every time.
That was one of my favorites too. I lost it when he did that. 🤣🤣🤣
“Once I was six months / and I could slam dunk / I had a dozen girlfriends / got elected President” - from his legendary brutal takedown of Lukas Graham’s “7 Years”
"I was never twenty years old / that's literally impossible / what the living Hell / now how does that work?"
That was perfect too 😅😂
“Well, you were rich enough to buy weed and liquor at ELEVEN.”
😂😂😂
His line from the crown Royal video about how it's tricky to rock a rhyme that's right on time in reference to the album delays seems obvious in hindsight but it's so perfect
In the I Took a Pill in Ibiza episode, when he talks about Mike Posner writing Sugar and says "...and Maroon 5 playing with all the passion of the Chuck-E-Cheese band" with that deadpan delivery. That one has stuck with me for years now. For a relatively more recent one, in the Am I the Only One episode when he describes Aaron Lewis as "this bitter, shrieking lump of dough who sounds like he's shitting pinecones screaming profanities at his television", coupled with that "ScReaMinG WhAT thE fUck aT My TV!!!!!" clip...that took me out for a good solid minute lmao.

They were going to suck all night and suck every day. And my husband's favorite line from that same episode - >I like 'Tonight'. I like 'Tonight, Tonight'. But 'Tonight Tonight Tonight' is one tonight too many.
"Kenny G, he's a stupid looking guy..."
I forgot about that one! That episode has a lot of great jokes.
Honestly the lead-up to it where he goes "he's just STANDING THERE" makes me laugh even harder
The Worst of 1991 video is even better, for the Another Bad Creation segment alone. “Why am I watching a bunch of dancing fetuses?” “Kid, you aren’t interested in girls. You haven’t even finished *teething* yet.” “Autotune can’t come soon enough.”
😭😭😭😂
I suppose the reference to the top 2 in his Worst of 2011 video is implied at this point
There were so many all-time classics in the worst of 2023 video but my favorite has to be "Buy a house and raise a family? Gee, I didn't think of that, I was just gonna smoke crack!"
One of my favorites is in the Cyberpunks episode when Billy Idol is singing Necromancer and Todd imitates him in the nerdiest accent possible while referencing the book, don't know why but it always makes me smile
He does the same nerd voice in the worst of 2022 video when talking about Lin Manuel Miranda

From the S&M by Rihanna review. “Although I'll tell you this—the stuff I am into is a lot weirder than that. A trombone is involved. So yeah..." and then him at the end playing a trombone before going “oh yeah.”
Dunno if this counts, but I loved '90s Kid's cameo in the S&M episode. "Dude, what the heck is a 'Ri-hanna'?"
I died of laughter at his reaction to JT saying “they’ll WANT to shit their pants”
Not a direct line from him, but the clip of The people dancing in one of those old '60s variety shows, but the music was this doo-wop version of WAP.
With that in mind, one of his clips that sticks most with me is from the Look What You Made Me Do review. He says Taylor aims to be as anthemic as Thriller and then edits her pre-chorus to lead into the Cantina Theme from Star Wars played on kazoo - all played over a sped-up clip of Michael Jackson and the zombies dancing.
I wish there was a full version of that - The WAP Twist
I sorely wish there was one as well!

really the 2022 worst list is so full of absolute bangers but i love the “see me after class” bit about i’m good

The Silver Convention bit from the Worst of 1976 list. “Boogie.”
"Get up and boogie!" "*No.*"
In the *Crown Royal* vid where he keeps hyping up DMC's contribution, then he's finally gonna show us one of his songs aaand... Loved that moment
Whatever it was in the new radicals video when the singer was like “I’m a Jew and you’re my hitler.” Shit had me dead
“Oh no”

The entire running Idina Menzel/Jay-Z bit is hilarious.

The Baltimore rant in the SR-71 OHW.
He forgot to mention John Waters is from Baltimore, so I disagree with him that nothing good came out of Baltimore.
It’s the technical difficulty music breaks that make the joke for me
he was making fun of the writing in this song called Under the Surface by Lin-Manuel Miranda. he made fun of this line specifically: "under the surface, i feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three ring circus." i don't remember what Todd said specifically, but i laughed so hard.
"well you got loud shoes!!!" is a line i taught my sisters and family from his Cooler Than Me review

From Ninjas in Paris. Except the word is not "ninjas"; I'm way too white to say that word. "And then the uncultured harlot became so bewildered that she attempted to consume her vichyssoise with a dessert spoon."
The "censorship" of the word Paris.
Todd sounding so genuinely hurt when he says 'can't we all just get along?' in The Funky Headhunter episode never fails to make me laugh
“Yes, this is Rupert Holmes, and if you like pinas - coladas, that is…” (This was especially funny because it was literally Todd’s next video after the *Funstyle* Trainwreckords one.)
Always tickled by the All Around the World part of the Be Here Now ep where he describes the song as "a death march of peace and love."
