History Funny / AphexTwin

* The sole non-sampled lyric on ''Drukqs'' comes from "Cock/ver10," where Richard himself shouts "COME ON YOU [[CountryMatters CUNT]], LET'S HAVE SOME APHEX ACID!"

* Some guy made [[https://soundcloud.com/david_rees/sets/aphex-swift an album]] of Aphex Twin/Music/TaylorSwift mashups. [[RefugeInAudacity Because why wouldn't you.]] If you want a good chuckle, just look at the comments for each track. They'll be split between absolute marveling and utter horror and disgust.

* The title of ''[[BrutalHonesty 26 Mixes for Cash]]'', especially considering the motivation behind the creation of the ''Pac Man'' album.

* Meta example: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrFRAUMn2lM his Grammy win]], with Aphex Twin mispronounced, a [[ToiletHumor scatological]] [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Funny/AphexTwin rant]] and being referred as a [[IAmTheBand "they"]]. And the best part? [[SadTrombone He didn't even show up]].

* The lyrics from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUAJ8KLGqis minipops 67 [120.2] source field mix]]:
-->Come see it, shake my hand\\

* The [[LastNoteHilarity ending]] also counts as this:
-->Always putting up with you, [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]\\

* On the lyrics sheets for the ''Come to Daddy'' EP, [[MetalScream the loud, 34-second, anguished wail]] in the opening track is simply transcribed as [[spoiler:"[[{{Understatement}} Aargh.]]"]]

* In an interview, James stated that although he's never met [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Markus Persson]] (who successfully claimed his ''Caustic Window'' LP in an [=eBay=] auction), his kids would love to, since he's "like God" to them.

* The bulk of "Milkman" is a mostly odd, yet strangely cheerful song for Richard, complete with [[StepUpToTheMicrophone him gently singing]] "I wish the milkman would deliver my milk in the morning / I wish the milkman would deliver my milk when I'm yawning." That is, [[MoodWhiplash until he reaches]] [[spoiler:[[LyricalDissonance "I would like some milk from the milkman's wife's tits..."]]]], where then it abruptly becomes hysterical.

-->Come see it, shake my hand
-->Why’d you breathe up this, [[TheStoner Marijuana]]?
-->Throw some DMT together, here
-->We’re gonna just entertain, some

-->Always putting up with you, [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]
-->Maybe next time cunt
-->[[ClusterFBomb Next time you fucking cunt]]

** And also as a celebration to the ''Syro'' album release, this fan-made video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlKgw5rDObc Aphex Twin Does Omegle/Chatroulette!]]" features a prank involving [[DistractedByTheSexy seducing the victims]] [[UnsettlingGenderReveal until revealing]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice Richard's mask from the ''Windowlicker'' music video in order to scare the shit out of them]]! [[spoiler:Bonus points for the said 1999 track being played in the background!]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqega6a2g6A Aphex Twin buys beer]]. Sadly, it isn't actually Richard, but the person in the video looks so similar to him that we might as well call him "Richard". With "Funny Little Man" playing as almost scarily appropriate BGM, the video consists of surveillance footage taken in 2009 of "Richard" drunkenly sauntering through a vacant store, only to find massive amounts of trouble keeping his center of gravity and staying on his two feet. Eventually, "Richard" falls down and can't muster the stamina to get up, and eventually people discover him. The video ends with him stumbling towards the exit in a zombie-like manner, only to tumble backwards at the last second.

* The ending of "Funny Little Man", with a Plaintalk program singing to you about [[LyricalDissonance how they want to anally copulate with you, sneak into your room, and cut your penis off so they can eat it.]]

* In the announcement of ''Syro'' album, Richard declares himself as an "[[CrossesTheLineTwice influential electronic fartist]]".

* In the beginning of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzvLiwUK3R8 Field Day 2017 festival]], a FreezeFrameBonus is featured at the 4:39 mark which says "[[TakeThat fuck]] [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump trump]]" and also "[[CrossesTheLineTwice trump is dead]]".

** However, the "for Cash" part in the title was actually due to the fact that Richard had met with all those people he remixed in person to get his pay in cash, so nobody would know his bank details or figure out where he leaved.
