* The fact that the title track is part of the harsh noise wall genre, which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.

* "I Have Been in You" from ''Music/SheikYerbouti''. Special bonus for the backing vocals simulating the unfortunate screams of the girl he's been in. The title pokes fun at PeterFrampton's 1977 album "I'm In You".

** From the same album, “Catholic Girls” is loaded with hilarious asides, from Zappa nostalgically commenting upon the titular girls’ “[[GirlsWithMustaches tiny little mustache]]” to a random Brooklyn-accented guy shouting “She gave me VD” [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]]. Overall, the song takes the CatholicSchoolGirlsRule trope to its most hilariously blunt conclusion.
---> “With a tongue like a cow, she can make you say wow!”

* Scott Thunes' entire performance in the video of ''Does Humor Belong In Music?'': mugging, flinging himself around the stage like a demented Muppet, generally making an idiot of himself. He doesn't sing or say anything, but he's one of the funniest things in the whole video.

He doesn't sing or say anything, but he's one of the funniest things in the whole video. In "Bobby Brown Goes Down", on the line "Am I boy or a lady, I don't know which", Thunes walks over to Ray White and puts his hand on White's right pec with a puzzled expression as if he's unsure whether or not it's a boob. White's deadpan reaction is priceless.

** Even funnier is the version on ''You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 1''. When Frank keeps saying in that funny voice, "I'm in you! I'm in you!" it's hard not to laugh.

* Speaking of ''Music/WereOnlyInItForTheMoney'', the spoken-word portion of "Who Needs the Peace Corps?" definitely qualifies, especially with Frank Zappa's recitation:
