** Dieu To, albeit in a more disturbing manner than the Armenian Comedian. Nothing about Dieu is terribly clear, expect for his affection for German chocolate cake and his obsession with StevenSeagal. He has very particular tastes with regards to women (Korean women 5'8" or 5'9" in height). Dieu seems to travel back and forth frequently between Asia and the US, and as such, is notoriously difficult to contact. He is very evasive about his personal life, dodging specific questions or giving extremely vague answers about himself. Once, when Psycho Mike visited Dieu's house to do a segment in the vein of MTV's ''Cribs'', Mike found [[HiddenWeapons knives hidden inside an air-conditioning vent]] and [[PantyThief a drawer full of womens' panties in Dieu's room]] that Dieu tried to explain away by saying, [[LameExcuse "It's not"]]. Another time, Dieu wrote to the show asking about whether he should have someone beaten up who had made fun of him; when confronted on-air about it, Dieu tried to [[LameExcuse laugh it off, claiming it was just a joke.]]

* VerbalTic: Whenever Dieu To is on the show, he will almost always address Kevin and Bean together, running their names together as "KevinandBean". Those moments when he addresses them separately, Dieu To tends to confuse each one for the other.

* UnderTheSea: Kevin and Bean once did a show live while [[http://www.kevinandbeanarchive.com/audio.php?dir=audio/Kevin%20and%20Bean-%20Before%20the%20show%20or%20early%20in%20the%20history%20of%20the%20show&file=The%20Kevin%20Bean%20Underwater%20Show-2009-08-24.mp3/ SCUBA diving]], complete with bad audio of air hissing into their masks and Kevin and Bean sounding like they had head colds. Years later, Ralph would revisit the audio, remarking that people would ask him what Kevin and Bean used to do before guys like he and Jimmy Kimmel were on the show, and replied that it was ridiculous stunts like this.

* TheBoxingEpisode: Jimmy Kimmel found himself challenged to a boxing match by Michael the Maintenance Man after making a perceived racial comment on-air (specifically, that black people don't ski). This challenge played out over several weeks (including Kevin and Bean going with Jimmy for his pre-fight physical to get audio), culminating in a live on-air boxing match dubbed "The Bleeda in Reseda". There were celebrity judges for the match as well: broadcaster Pat O'Brien (who also called the match), AdamSandler, and ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_and_Lorena_Bobbitt/ John Wayne Bobbitt]]''.

* TheGenerationGap: Paul the 55-Year-Old Intern, who was on the show in the mid-90s and played by Mark Davis (aka RichardCheese). He was an old-school radio man who spoke with a stilted delivery and had no love for KROQ's alt-rock repertoire, preferring FrankSinatra and TonyBennett.

The most significant outcome of the fight was the changes it would bring to the show's cast. Needing a boxing trainer, producer Frank Murphy found himself being cold-called by a listener offering his services to Jimmy. Despite Murphy's attempts to stonewall him, said listener finally got to Jimmy and found their senses of humor meshed well, leading to the trainer becoming a regular on the show. His name? AdamCarolla. When Jimmy and Adam left to create TheManShow, Adam recommended his roommate to Kevin and Bean, RalphGarman.

* Streaking: When the show still broadcasted from its' previous location in Burbank, various staffers (usually Lightning, Big Tad, and on one occasion, Dave the King of Mexico) would be sent to streak through a particular 7-Eleven store at Halloween and Christmas. Kevin and Bean would call the store to signal when the streaker needed to make his run through the store. The phone call would then be broadcast live on the air as the streaker caused chaos among the workers and customers.

* SpinOff: In its' 27-year history, the show has produced a number of sister programs:

** Subverted by Sam the Armenian Comedian: his near-constant high, coupled with his own unshakable belief in his comedic "abilities" make Sam legitimately believe he's the funniest comedian in the world, a belief that virtually everyone around him greatly disagree with. Those few who do find Sam funny find the humor in how bad he is and how unaware Sam is of the disconnect between his confidence and the embarrassing reality.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Big Tad developed "Taditude" and started refusing to do wacky stunts for the show, Lightning laid a huge speech on him about how Lightning himself had to do similarly crazy and/or humiliating stunts when he was in Tad's position because [[ButtMonkey/ that's what was expected of him]] and it was expected for Tad to do the same.
