* "Fat Slut". Pip's odd way of singing the lyrics, the lyrics themselves (which is essentially Pip's comeback to the titular insult), the odd guitar feedback, and the brevity of the track makes it awesomely ridiculous.

Added DiffLines:

* "Fat Slut".
* Also, the 'Brain Fart" improv she did in her 2007 tour.
** Many of her improvs could count, as could some of her interviews. She's a funny woman.
*** Especially the "Tori Is a Lioness" interview. She claims that she would rather burn a man (especially if he's British) than a piano if she was stuck on a deserted island!
*** Other funny interviews include the one where she says [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8137Gho5C_c she has a 12-inch cock]], and the one where she [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28WNXWlU33M&feature=related rants about how "Toxic" is supposedly about toxic shock syndrome]]. Some quotes from that interview are "You can't have Tampax for a hot song," and "I love my fucking twat!".
*** Anytime Tori talks about her daughter Tash is bound to be this.
* "Big Wheel" has Tori chanting "M-I-L-F, don't you forget".
* On a Last.fm shoutbox for a Tori song, mostly everyone talks about an...[[http://www.last.fm/music/Tori+Amos/_/In+the+Springtime+of+His+Voodoo/+shoutbox unexpected topic.]] Although a stupid, rude comment almost ruins the funny.
* At the 2010 Bonnaroo concert: "Where's {{Neil|Gaiman}} when you need him? Shagging Music/{{Amanda|Palmer}}!"
* At a gig in Manchester in 2011, Tori's earpiece fell out. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxXFvPXrl5k This]] is what happened next.
