Tropes in The Ones:
- Broken Record: “Flawless” and “Superstar” is mostly them singing the song’s title over and over.
- Call-Back: “When We Get Together” at the very end reuses the chorus of “Flawless” to remind us they’re the same people who created that song.
- Camp Gay: They are known for their skimpy and bulky outfits and strut their behinds quite a bit.
- Looped Lyrics: “Flawless” and “Superstar are notable examples.”Just like perfection. Like no other flawless! Absolutely flawless!””Superstar you’re a superstar You’re such a superstar!”
- Porn Stache: JoJo Americo had grown one in the video for “When We Get Together”
- Recycled Lyrics: In the video for “When We Get Together” all three of them say “Absolutely flawless!” in the same way.
- Short-Runner: The band was started in 1998 and they had not made any music since 2016. The passing of Nashom, a lead singer made this situation even more difficult.
- The Cameo: In the video for “When We Get Together” features the members from Scissor Sisters.
