* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: In "Ghost Bus-Ters", the singer claims ''[[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Ghostbusters]]'' came out in 1986, when it actually came out in 1984. [[InvokedTrope The closed captions for the album call Joel out for this.]]

''Super Ghostbusters'', released on November 20, 2018, is the third studio album by Swedish HeavyMetal musician Vargskelethor. A radical contrast from his traditional sound, the album shifts to [[AvantGardeMusic avant-garde]] ComedyMusic, more in line with the leftfield humor of his livestreams as WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Joel. Heavily influenced by the likes of Music/FrankZappa, Music/CaptainBeefheart, and especially OutsiderMusic artist Music/WesleyWillis, the album is based entirely around various UsefulNotes/{{MIDI}} renditions of "Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}" by Ray Parker Jr.

** The very first line of the album is an excited "Ghostbusters! They're back in town!" This winds up being basically the only remotely normal line in the entire album as from the second line onwards it devolves into complete chaos. The beginning of the Eeluxe Edition portion [[CallBack opens the exact same way]].

** The first song on the album has the Ghostbusters use their proton packs on the singer's dick, which hurts. The last song of the Deluxe Edition ends with the singer buying a vaccum at the Home Depot for the purpose of doing the same, except the experience this time around is more pleasurable.

* CallBack: The end of "Ghost Bast" has Joel make fun of the audience for thinking the last song on the album was going to be good. In the Deluxe Edition, the actual last song ("Ghostbusters (Busting Makes Me Feel Good)") is, much like "Ghost Bast", also a straightforward cover until the end. Joel once again makes fun of the audience for thinking "this time" was going to be different.

This includes Anakin "[[Film/AttackOfTheClones SLAUGHTER(ing the Tusken Raiders) LIKE ANIMALS]]!" and [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith choking his wife]], [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Luke learning the true identity of Yoda]], and [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Darth Vader's eventual fate]].

!!Super Ghostbusters Deluxe Edition controversy
''Super Ghostbusters Deluxe Edition'', released on March 26, 2023, is an expansion to the original Super Ghostbusters album. It contains 3 new songs by Joel, 1 song by Joel's friend and 9 STOLEN fan songs. Why are they stolen? Because Joel thought it was a great idea to sell other people's songs for 75 cents. Most of the songs were originally made for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YguzNv23Xs Super Ghostbusters 2 fan album]]. Some of the songs and their creators were misspelled:
* Ilya the Karbyurator was misspelled as "Ilya the Karbyburator". His song Ghost-inside was misspelled as "Ghostinside" (although it was also misspelled in Super Ghostbusters 2).
* Mehrio was misspelled as "Merio"
** Mehrio's song Grandbusters is actually made by a guy named [[https://www.youtube.com/@BlueMarioGangsta BlueMarioGangsta]]. Mehrio is a [[Music/SiIvaGunner SiIvagunner-like]] channel where you can submit high quality rips.
