* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: {{Invoked|Trope}} with "Pepper." The rap-spoken verses and backmasked chorus are a style parody of Music/{{Beck}}'s "Loser", which the band believed was a rip off of their style, so this was their way of "getting back" at him.

** On the other hand, in at least one interview they went the DeniedParody route instead, claiming that "Pepper" was initially inspired by TripHop, and they were surprised when people started comparing it to Beck instead.

* HilariousInHindsight: "Kuntz" off of ''Locust Abortion Technician'' takes a Thai folk song and edits it to make it sound dirty. Kind of sounds like an 80's version of a Main/YouTubePoop, doesn't it?

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs:
** AvertedTrope. The band admits that they did a lot of drugs, acid especially. It explains a lot, really.
** In the early days, Gibby Haynes would often go onstage drunk, stoned, and/or tripping on various psychedelics. (It wasn't at all unusual for him to be under the influence of multiple drugs at once during their live shows in TheEighties). Gibby has also admitted to taking ''six'' hits of blotter acid meant for the entire band before a performance at one point, and a possibly apocryphal story features him preparing for a recording session by throwing a handful of acid in a bathtub he'd filled before getting in and spending the next three days straight tripping.

** One part of "Jimi" sounds like a cartoon character getting raped.
** Even if you know that it's just a band member's pet pitbull, the growls that appear throughout "Mark Says Alright" can be disturbing.
** "[[https://youtu.be/ETG9xtJxxNY 22 Going On 23]]" is basically a local psychiatric call-in show being used as SpokenWordInMusic over a sludgy NoiseRock jam that seems to have been electronically slowed down. What makes it unnerving is the combination of the music and the content: one caller discusses a traumatized reaction to sexual assault, another speaks of a loveless, emotionally abusive relationship, and the host's advice is edited down into a series of meaningless buzz words ("Medicine... Anxiety... Sleep programming... Counseling"). [[note]]Possible NightmareRetardant: The band have claimed that they could tell both callers were the same person, meaning that, since the things she says in both calls seem to contradict each other, she was likely to have been lying - in fact, they used to regularly listen to this show and noticed this same woman kept calling with totally different stories, and the people running the program either didn't notice or didn't care.[[/note]]
** "The Last Astronaut" crosses this over with TearJerker once you realize what's going on, which is that [[spoiler:the titular character may be the last human alive after a nuclear war on Earth. "Hello? Is there anyone left? My God! All of them, huh?"]]
