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.

** "Banker's Song - We Didn't See It Coming" was originally done for an {{NPR}} podcast, of all things. It doesn't help that the backing track is the same one used in #13, which in turn uses the same backing track from {{Weezer}}'s memories.
* CallBack: The line, "Very Thin Ice," started in #2 and came back in #3 and #8.
* TheCameo: [[AutoTune T-Pain]] in #8, [[GoodCharlotte Joel Madden]] in #11, {{Weezer}} in #13, {{Joseph Gordon-Levitt}} in "Get your money, Turn Gay", and [[EpicRapBattlesOfHistory Nice Peter]] in "Muffins In Congress".
* CargoShip: Andrew Rose and his shoe, InUniverse.
* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: MuammarGaddafi, presumably.
** As well as Hugo Chavez and his air guitaring.
* CityOfAdventure: Three of the "B-side" vids are from Huntsville, Alabama (bed intruder, strut that ass and Use Both Sides).
** Much to the amusement and astonishment of anyone who has actually been there.
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: The Afghani-Pakistani-US "friendship" mostly consists of Hamid Karzai and Asif Ali Zardari hitting on [[HoYay each other]] as Hillary Clinton tries to negotiate peace.
* CouchGag: Auto-tune the news! Auto-tune the news! (Tragedy/C-Span2/Sarah Palin/''Everything'') sounds better auto-tuned!
* CreditsGag: The guy at the end of each video always has something minor happen to him, from already saying something he said earlier, to telling the chorus in the background to stop singing.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "The only woman who ain't a man"
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: "Your team responded late here, coach, how did you do it?"
** [[TwoWords "Three words.]] ''[[{{Metaphorgotten}} Vi-A-Gra."]]''
* DrugsAreBad: Junkie Einstein refutes this worldview, and uses his senatorial position to argue for [[GovernmentDrugEnforcement exactly the opposite.]]
* EngineeredPublicConfession
** Often without the engineering part. A running gag is "Do you want to buy drugs from me?"
*** "[[CubanMissileCrisis It's still a place that is strictly off-limits.]]" "Not for this G, I just went there illegally, speaking of which [[RefugeInAudacity will you buy drugs from me on national TV?]]"
** "Now they're saying I [[BadBoss groped a male staffer!]] / [[ManipulativeEditing Yeah, I did!]] (Um) Yeah, yeah, yeah"
*** "A manly back rub. (JUST A BACK RUB!)"
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Frank [=McGee=], Angry Gorilla.
* EruditeStoner: Junkie Einstein might be a parody of this type, as the only thing he's knowledgeable about is how to get high ([[IntoxicationEnsues or how not]] [[GRatedDrug to get high]]). He holds a degree in biology ([[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext that he got because he was caught smoking]] [[GRatedDrug lettuce]]), but can't tell the difference between a tiger and a giraffe.
* [[strike:Five]] [[FiveManBand Four Man Band]]:
** TheHero: Michael on the show, Evan in the band.
** TheLancer: Evan on the show, Michael in the band.
** TheSmartGuy: Michael doubles as this.
** TheBigGuy: Andrew Rose.
** TheChick: Sarah.
** TheSixthRanger: Katie Couric
* FacePalm: Anderson Cooper's interview with one of Pastor Worley's supporters in Muffins in Congress is enough to elicit one of these from the group.
--> Hold up, this [[SarcasmMode learned and witty discussion]] could go on forever.
--> Apply your palm to your face and you will feel better, much better.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In one of the short videos, entitled "Sarah Sings with Babies", half of the fun of the video is watching the background to see if [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Michael can catch the frisbee as he jumps off the dock into the lake]].
* GovernmentAgencyOfFiction
** [[{{T-Pain}} The Federal Commission of T-Pain]]
** [[ThirdPersonPerson The Federal Commission of Me]]
** [[EruditeStoner The Enhanced Perceptions Committee]]
** The Congressional Choir
* {{Horny Viking|s}}: Bølverk.
* KentBrockmanNews
* KitschyLocalCommercial: "Chuck Testa", "Taxi Dave".
* InsaneTrollLogic: Nigel Farage's outburst, accompanied by Frank [=McGee=], Angry Gorilla.

* {{Megane}}: Michael.
* MelismaticVocals
* MemeticMutation: [[invoked]] The "Bed Intruder" song has been covered in the genres of Metal (both Shred/Speed and Death varieties are represented), Acoustic, Marching Band, and Chiptunes, among others. Doesn't hurt that the original video for it featured a piano cover.
** There are ''dozens'' of videos setting "Winning" to just about every form of media on the planet.
* {{Mondegreen}}
** "I got this cause I'm BadAss!"
** [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] with Junkie Einstein's presidential debate song. Go ahead, just guess what he said.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: In Auto-Tune Verse, all addresses made to Congress ''must'' be submitted in the form of a song, all debate must follow a similar structure to a rap battle, the congressional choir must be present at all times, and the congressional drummer sets the agenda for every session.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: "iTunes link below. Earnings go to [insert unintentional singer here] and the Gregorys. And Apple."
* {{Nepotism}}: ''Strictly'' disallowed in New Orleans. [[NoExceptYes Except for family members]]. And sexy turtles. OW.
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer
** The "smoking lettuce" interlude is so bizarre that a news report ''about'' it is added in to show that it really happened.
** Regarding presidential candidate [[AwesomeMcCoolName Vermin Supreme's]] questionable actions:
-->YES: This actually happened. I know what you're thinking, but seriously, this is real.
* NotSoDifferent: After 10 episodes of [[AmericanFederalism absurd American politics]], #11 showed that UsefulNotes/TheEuropeanUnion has its own brand of crazy as well.

* StupidStatementDanceMix: The bread and butter of Auto-Tune the News.
* SuperSpeed: Slim Chin, possibly.
* TakeAThirdOption: Rent: Too Damn High
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch
** Christine O'Donnell lets us know that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44mqiBrB0zI she's "not a politician and not a witch, bitch"]].
** The end of #13 qualifies as well. "Standing in the ditch, bitch!"
** The refrain in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUvhAPs38RA "DJ Play My Song (No Leave Me Alone)"]]:
--> "The noise level is already at the legal limit; now sit down and let me do my job for a minute bitch!"

* VomitIndiscretionShot: Lead poisoning! Ew!

* [[IWillFindYou We Gon' Find You]]: You don't have to come, and confess. [[ParanoiaFuel We're looking for you.]]
