* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXwq_XmSz-I The music video for 'Crashed the Wedding']] has some pretty impressive green screen and multiple angle camera work for a mid-2000s British music video. It's all presented as one shot with a roaming camera, the guys all play at least 5-6 characters each, they interact with some of them each, and there's no obvious chroma keying, or anything. There's some obvious places where they clearly change camera shots, or cover up where two characters played by one of the band members interact, but it's all done really well. One might wonder how long it took to shoot and edit and how they accomplished it.

** It's not so much that American audiences ''hated'' tham per se, but the climate of the American music scene had changed by the time they tried to break through. By then, Boy Band Pop was a dead art form and Pop Punk had begun getting more serious, with the emerging Emo Pop on the horizon with Music/FallOutBoy emerging as a Pop Punk band, Music/GreenDay released their Pop Punk Rock Opera ''American Idiot,'' and Music/Blink182, whom Busted obviously drew a lot of inspiration from, had begun making more serious music. Had they tried earlier, they might've made it, but the changing attitudes of the American music scene to a more serious one caused them to fail. Regrettably, it was at a time where they seemed to be progressing to mature their writing more.
Added DiffLines:
* HarsherInHindsight: Listening to the first few songs on ''A Present For You'', you can tell there was an effort on their part to mature their sound, as well as try to take off in places other than the UK. 'Air Hostess' was clearly meant to be a song they could perform once breaking through into mainstream US music, and 'Who's David' uses the term "high school," an American term, rather than "secondary school," the nearest British equivalent. Ironically, had they still be making music rather than disband, they might've been able to break into the scene by riding the wave of Pop Punk bands that sprouted up in the mid-2000s to some extent.

It really speaks that their YouTube channels (both official and Vevo) don't have more than a few of their music videos each, and not even those for two songs either. You'll either have to watch fan uploads, track down the songs on other sites, or download the vast majority of their catalogue illegally, since iTunes doesn't have more than their second and live album either for some reason.

* AmericansHateTingle: Busted tried to break the American market in 2004, and did not succeed. The MTV UK documentary series ''America Or Busted'' captures the band's frustrations as they experience promotional events and interviews that fall through and disappointing concert turnouts. When MTV in America aired the series later that year, they added the video for "What I Go To School For" into their rotation, but it didn't catch on. Compare Busted's failure to catch on America to the relative success of [=BBMak=], another British boy band who played their own instruments and wrote their own songs, and yet managed to have a couple stateside hits.
