History Music / FallOutBoy

* HeyItsThatGuy - The video for their cover of "Beat It" features Donald Faison (Turk from ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''), Hal Sparks ({{Queer As Folk}}, {{The Soup}}) and Tony Hale (Buster from ''Series/{{Arrested Development}}'').

* {{Mondegren}}: Because of Patrick's singing style, you sometimes won't know what the hell he's saying.

They have numerous music videos, including one where they pretended to be vampire hunters that went on for about seven minutes, and one with Turk from ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''. Other notable deeds the band has committed include impregnating Ashlee Simpson, wearing remarkably tight trousers, almost getting a Guinness World Record for playing a live concert on all seven continents in a certain amount of time, being loved by [[{{Blink182}} Mark]] [[{{TropeCodifier}} Hoppus]], getting on ''TopOfThePops'' with a song about wanting to kill themselves and having some really strange lyrics.


They have nothing to do with the mascot of the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' game series, Vault Boy, and are named after [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Radioactive Man's faithful sidekick]].

The band is currently on indefinite hiatus. Patrick has started a solo musical effort, Pete has started a dancehall band called the Black Cards, and Joe and Andy have joined a metal band called The Damned Things.

* {{Adorkable}}

** Fan consensus assumes that was due to his getting married to Ashlee Simpson, and it generally not being acceptable for a newlywed to publicly bitch about exes anymore.

* RealPersonFic - Scores of it on livejournal. Patrick/Pete is the OTP of many, and much of it shockingly well written.
* ShoutOut: Their name is not one to the Simpsons character came from a literal shout-out when they asked a crowd what their name should be.

** "It's true romance is dead, I shot it in the chest and in the head" -- 'The Music or the Misery'

** "Hum Hallejah": ''Like two teenagers in a parking lot, till tonight due us part''

** Such as simulating oral sex on Brendon Urie, kissing Patrick on the neck during live shows, and being just affectionate towards guys. Maybe not so faux after all, he claims to be bisexual but "isn't a fan of penises".

* ThisIsSparta: It being music, there's plenty. One example: ''This ain't a scene, it's a God! Damned! Arms! Race!''

* DatingWhatDaddyHates: The video for "Sugar, We're Goin Down" and its story of a girl who falls for a boy with antlers, and her father hates him to the point where he [[DisproportionateRetribution tries to kill him]].

* ConceptVideo - Pretty much always.
* CoverVersion - Several, most notably Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart", The Police's "Roxanne," Danny Elfman's "What's This?" and Michael Jackson's "Beat It."

*** Seth Green and Michelle Trachtenberg (both from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'') show up briefly at the funeral scene in "Arm's Race", and the chick who plays Cerie on [=~30 Rock~=] is the mean girl in "Dance, Dance"

* YokoOhNo: Ashlee Simpson, 'nuff said.

* TheAragorn - Pete. Although Patrick is the lead singer, Pete gets the most credit for being the songwriter and face of the band and is even sometimes miscredited as the singer.

* {{Hatedom}} - It exists, though not so much since the band, uh...went on hiatus.

---> "best friends, ex friends till the end, better off as lovers, and not the other way around"

* {{Earworm}} - Many.

* YokoOhNo - Ashlee Simpson, 'nuff said.

* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity - A rare non-YMMV version of this trope. It's the theme of "I Don't Care" ("I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me.").

* BetteroffAsFriends: Subverted in every possible way in "Bang The Doldrums"

* HeyItsThatGuy - The video for their cover of "Beat It" features Donald Faison (Turk from ''{{Scrubs}}''), Hal Sparks ({{Queer As Folk}}, {{The Soup}}) and Tony Hale (Buster from ''{{Arrested Development}}'').
