* GagPenis: "Blind Melon Chitlin'" ends with Chitlin's record producer J.R. asking about the "ding-dong" he talks about in the song he just recorded:
-->'''J.R.:''' Blind baby, what the hell's that "ding-dong"?\\
''[Chitlin gets up]''\\
'''J.R.'s assistant:''' I think he's gonna show you, J.R.\\
''[Chitlin unzips his fly, the producers laugh in amazement]''\\
'''J.R.:''' Jesus Christ, look at the size of that thing! We'll never get that on the album cover! We could play jump rope with it though!

* NoseShove: The comedy sketch "Up His Nose" from the album ''Los Cochinos'' has the father of a boy named Jaime brought to the doctor because he's been shoving lots of things up his nose -- including ''bullets''. The doctor tries to extract them with a pair of pliers, but ultimately decides on just using a hammer, and the bullets explode, supposedly also [[YourHeadAsplode taking the boy's face with it]]. All the father could do at that point is rejoice and tell the doctor to "keep the change".

Attempts at a reunion were largely unsuccessful because the two comedians were unable to get along with each other for a very long time, and appearances together in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ferngully}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' were done with their voices recorded separately. (Chong was also offered a part in ''Disney/TheLionKing'', but turned it down, and as a result, the character was changed into a female and the part was given to WhoopiGoldberg). Meanwhile, Chong and his wife, Shelby, toured as a team, and their routine included updated versions of Cheech and Chong bits.

* OldShame: Cheech felt this way toward the entire Cheech & Chong filmography when he was trying to establish himself as a serious actor. He also felt that with their formula was getting stale, and that if he continued working with Chong, they would have eventually ended up like Creator/AbbottAndCostello and made movies like ''Cheech & Chong Go To Mars''. However, Cheech later reembranced the stoner following that made him famous in the first place, and eventually reconciled with Chong.

* CreatorBacklash: Chong disliked ''Get Out Of My Room'' because he had little input towards all of the songs in the album and its videos, and it was mostly Cheech's vanity project throughout the production. The album and video's hit single, "Born in East L.A." didn't even feature Chong at all. Neither were satisfied with ''The Corsican Brothers''.

* BreakawayPopHit: "Born in East L.A." (a Cheech solo song credited to Cheech & Chong) originally premiered in the video and album ''Get Out Of My Room'', but is better known thanks to being turned into a Cheech solo movie of the same name, which briefly featured the song that it was based on. It's also the only song from the album that the two acknowledge, as they performed a revamped version during their reunion tours (with a salsa interlude to highlight Chong and Shelby's salsa dancing, something they took up as a hobby in the 1990s).
