* The ending of the "Rocket" video: The premise is that some children come upon an interplanetary transmission of the band performing the song, and decide to build a rocket so they can watch them play in person. Because the transmission took so long to reach earth, by the time the kids arrive, the band are now old and grey (an effect achieved with {{Timeshifted Actor}}s)... And still playing the same song.

* On Joe Rogan's podcast, Billy talked about partying with Dennis Rodman when the Chicago Bulls were in the NBA Finals, flying back and forth between games to have all-night benders in Vegas. As this went on, Billy began to worry Rodman wouldn't be too partied out to play when they flew back. He ended up running into Bulls coach Phil Jackson at a golf course, and said Jackson was giving him dirty looks for being [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll the famous rock star dragging his starting line-up member out to party]], with [[NotMeThisTime Billy protesting]] "No you don't understand, I'm trying to reign him in! I wanna win too!"

** Billy also apparently ran into Rodman (for the first time in seven years) literally the day before he flew out to North Korea to meet with Kim Jong-Un. Billy immediately called up his friend who hung out with him and Rodman:

Because of TimeDilation, by the time the kids get there, the band are grey-haired and old, but still playing the same song. What might make the punchline funnier is that, instead of achieving this effect with make-up, they were just played by extras who could pass for older versions of the band members.
