* SpiritualSuccessor: The original version of "Sheep", titled "Raving and Drooling (I Fell On His Neck With a Scream)", could be considered one to "[[Music/{{Meddle}} One of These Days]]", with its similar bassline and tone. Ian Peel of ''The Guardian'' dubbed the final version of the song an example of this trope to "One of These Days" as well, noting in particular the shared ''Series/DoctorWho''-esque bassline.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: "Raving and Drooling" and "You Gotta Be Crazy" were a staple of Floyd’s live shows for years, endlessly bootlegged and eventually released officially on a deluxe edition of ''Wish You Were Here''. In general, most fans prefer the lyrics of the final album versions ("Sheep" and "Dogs," respectively). However, a number of fans have an earlier live rendition they prefer musically. The band tinkered with the songs constantly, so a happy argument can be had over which live version was the best.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: While the TakeThat at UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher in the second verse of "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" is subtle enough to be applied to any politician in a similar position to her, the AuthorTract made against [[MoralGuardians Mary Whitehouse]] mentions her directly by name, which dates the song following her passing in November 2001.

** The phrase "Animals is underrated tbh" is used by Floyd fans to mock others who say ''Animals'' is an underrated album in the band's catalog when it's actually considered one of their most popular albums up with ''Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon'', ''Music/WishYouWereHere'', and ''Music/TheWall''. [[TakeAThirdOption Although]] an argument could be mean that it can be [[OvershadowedByAwesome overshadowed by its equally successful siblings]], given that ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' and ''The Wall'' are widely considered among the greatest albums ever made and ''Wish You Were Here'' is generally listed as '''the''' EnsembleDarkHorse in the band's back-catalog.

** The Battersea Power Station shown on the cover.album cover, like many Pink Floyd covers, is a frequent source of parody, often featuring similar shenanigans revolving around power stations and inflatable animal balloons.

Moving from YMMV.Animals. Memetic Mutation "power station" bullet made by David Delony, "overrated" by The Fear Inoculum, "Stone" by Aaron Return 2005. Tropers/bowserbros made Harsher In Hindsight.

** Later in the same song, the line "who was trained not to spit in the fan" can induce wincing from those who recall Roger Waters' later spitting on a fan during the ''In the Flesh'' tour and his shock in the wake of it, which directly inspired the even bleaker direction of ''Music/TheWall''. One bootleg from the ''In the Flesh'' tour is even named ''Who Was Trained Not to Spit on the Fan?'' as a result.
