Tropes applicable to Bad Bunny and his work:

• Animated Music Video: The video for "Te Deseo Lo Mejor" ("I wish you the best") takes place in Springfield with "Homero" lamenting that Marge has left him. Fortunately, they get back together at Bad Bunny's concert.
• Barbie Doll Anatomy: He and his lover have this in the "Moscow Mule" video.
• Break-Up Song: "Pero Ya No", from YHLQMDLG.
• The Cameo: Snoop Dogg in the music video for "Hoy Cobré".
• Every Man Has His Price: During his time as the 24/7 Champion, R-Truth bribes him with Steve Austin merchandise. He was more than happy to take the offer.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Las Que No Iban A Salir is full of this. In English it reads as "The Ones That Were Not Coming Out" and the album consists of unreleased tracks, some of which were meant to be included on X 100pre and YHLQMDLG. One song is titled as "Canción Con Yandel" ^note English: "Song With Yandel" and another one is "Bad Con Nicky" ^note English: "Bad With Nicky".
• Female Empowerment Song: "Yo Perreo Sola" (I Twerk Alone). At the end of the video, the screen reads "If she doesn't want to dance with you, respect that. She twerks alone."
• Gratuitous English: His stage name, based upon a picture from him as a kid, wearing a rabbit costume and an angry expression. Plenty of English is dropped in Spanish-language lyrics. From Break-Up Song "Pero Ya No":
  Ahora en todas las redes me sigues (Now you follow me on all the sites)
  Sorry, mami, no me hostigues (Sorry, mami, don't harass me)
• Gratuitous Japanese: At the end of "Yonaguni"
  De wasu kusu kuchitai
  Demo anata todoke
  Tto ko ni imasu ka?
  Tto ko ni imasu ka?
  (Today I want to have sex
  But only with you
  Where are you?
  Where are you?)
• Grief Song: "Si Yo Veo A Tu Mamá" (If I see your mom)

Todavía yo te quiero (yo te quiero)
Pero sé que es un error (no se hace, no)
Porque ya tú no me quieres (no, no)
Y sin ti me va mejor (uh-uh)
("I still love you (I love you)
But I know it's a mistake (I should not make)
Cuz you don't love me anymore (no, no)
And I am better off without you(uh-uh)")

• Initialism Title: YHLQMDLG stands for "Yo hago lo que me de la gana" (I do what I want).
• Internet Stalking: From "Pero Ya No":
  Ahora en todas las redes me sigues (Now you follow me on all the sites)
  Sorry, mami, no me hostigues (Sorry, mami, don't harass me)
• Protest Song: The 2019 song "Afilando Los Cuchillos", by Bad Bunny, Residente, and iLe, written in response to a political scandal involving then-governor of Puerto Rico Ricardo Roselló:
  El pueblo no aguanta más injusticia
  Se cansó de tus mentira' y de que manipulen las noticia'
  Ey, ey, to los combo', los caserío', somos nuestra milicia'
  Ya no nos coges de pendejo
  
  (The people cannot stand more injustices
  They got tired of your lies and having the news manipulated
  Hey, hey, all the combos, all the hoods, we are our own militia
  You will not take us for fools again)
• Signature Move: The Canadian Destroyer, nicknamed "Bunny Destroyer", for his wrestling matches. Notable because they are very difficult to pull off.
• Stuffy Old Songs About the Buttocks: In "Safaera", the singer is so entranced with his object of affection's large butt, that he wants to snap a selfie next to the huge rear end indeed^{original lyric}Yo quiero tirarme un selfie con esa' nalgota' (tra, tra) (oh).
• This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: How he accepted John Morrison and The Miz's WrestleMania 37 challenge.
  You know what? I accept your challenge, bitch!
