** The very final line of 500 MB before it cuts offhandedly mentions that the computer, which has been hyped up the entire time as being able to store 500 MB as if it were a major accomplishment, comes with a CD ROM built in. The average CD ROM can store up to ''900'' MB.

** "Imma Let It Be" from ''Mouth Sounds'' crosses [[Music/TheBeatles "Let It Be"]] with [[Music/BlackEyedPeas "Imma Be"]]. The resulting clash of two completely different tones is simultaneously hilarious and [[RefugeInAudacity horribly,]] ''[[RefugeInAudacity horribly]]'' [[RefugeInAudacity tasteless]].

** "Sexual Lion King" from ''Mouth Silence''. It wouldn't be so bad if it was ''just'' a Marvin Gaye/Elton John mashup, but it tends to cross this for some people by inserting sound clips from ''The Lion King'', a majority of them being from Mufasa's death scenes, including the first twelve seconds. ''Then proceeds to actually work.''

* SpecialEffectFailure: In Mouth Dreams' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E5Sps7ISAI Johnny]]," Neil could not find a high-quality instrumental of Music/JohnnyCash's cover of "[[Music/NineInchNails Hurt]]," so he had to manually scrub the vocals out of the song himself, likely using Deezer's AI audio separation tool "Spleeter". At points of the song, you can just about hear Cash's muffled voice underneath Rick Astley's singing. This was likely the [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Doylist]] reason Neil put the booing sound effects in the song, to try and cover up the artifacts. [[note]]The Watsonian reason being that the audience is angry that they just got rickrolled.[[/note]]

** The name of "Transmission" seems like a simple reference to the song's concept, a NumbersStation formed using audio from Music/DavidBowie's "Music/SpaceOddity". However, the title takes an additional meaning for Bowie fans thanks to the fact that Bowie's later song [[Music/StationToStation "TVC 15"]], about a girl who gets trapped in a luxury television, features the repeated phrase "transition, '''transmission'''" during the pre-chorus.

** "The End" puts a brooding, angsty Linkin Park song against an upbeat synth riff from the Doobie Brothers. It's funny because it's such an unexpected combo. It gets even funnier when Linkin Park's ''One More Light'' is released later in 2017, and turns out to be an upbeat pop album...[[Main/HarsherInHindsight only for the bounciness and charm of the mashup to become much harsher after Chester Bennington's suicide in July of the same year.]]

** "Love Psych" from the same album is a masterpiece of horrific LyricalDissonance, mashing up the goofy "Love Shack" by Music/TheB52s and the terrifying [[PsychoStrings soundtrack to]] ''Film/{{Psycho}}''. It ''should not'' be anywhere near as uncomfortable, dissonant, legitimately frightening, yet utterly hysterical as it is.

** Not only is the "Full House" reprise in "Alanis" an effective BrickJoke, but it's also a reference to how "You Oughta Know" is a TakeThat to Dave Coulier.
** "Orgonon Gurlz" from ''Mouth Silence'' has Katy Perry in only the left speaker until about two minutes into the song - right when Perry sings "Snoop Doggy Dog on the '''stereo'''".
** "The Starting Line" works on ''three'' different levels: It's one of the lyrics in the song itself, the song is comprised of the first verse of multiple songs (More specifically, first verses that start before the song's instrumental), and it's the first track on the ''Mouth Moods'' album.
