* ''Snacktime'' has "Crazy [=ABCs=]," a song where Ed tries to find "stranger" words that begin with each letter, such as "A is for aisle, B is for bdellium, C is for czar." The goofy dialogue between Ed and Steven makes the song funnier as it goes on.

-->'''Ed:''' P for 'pneumonia', ''[='Pterodactyl'=]'', and 'psychosis' / Q is for 'qat'--\\

'''Ed:''' Yeah, it's, uh... 'q-a-t'; it's an evergreen shrub. It's a perfect ''TabletopGame/{{Scrabble}}'' word because it's a Q with no U; there's not many of those.\\
'''Steven:''' ...You have too much time on your hands.\\
'''Ed:''' [[BlatantLies R is for 'argyle'--]]\\
'''Steven:''' ''(singing the same tune)'' No, it isn't.\\
'''Ed:''' ...Okay, you're right; I couldn't find a good "R" word.

** It gets worse. Disc Four was never released before “...and you can tell why. It’s just some demos I recorded in my basement.” Disc Five is entirely a computer voice due to being recorded while the singer was “hacking up a lung” while Disc Six is “a dance remix” that will “make you scratch your head and wonder where my taste went.”

Among other amusing disasters, Disc Two would've contained new songs but is blank because "some other label bought 'em", and Disc Three... "Well this is really me/In my grade school play/I haddabout a hundred thousand lines and of course I forgot'em..."
