* HarsherInHindsight: While he never took part in the writing for the album, two songs from ''Disco Volante'' notably "Everyone I Went to High School with Is Dead" and "Violenza Domestica" have took on a very disturbing meaning after ex-founding member Theo Lengyel got arrested for murdering his girlfriend by the end of 2023.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Although it's still a good listen, it's difficult for a listener coming to the album in a modern sense to appreciate just how avant-garde the band's self-titled album was in '91, and how remarkable it is that it got released on a major label. Since a ton of bands from later or earlier years who were equally (or more) experimental than Mr. Bungle also have crossed into the mainstream.

* CrazyAwesome: Just everything they released, basically. Part of the reason their music is so awesome is because it is so weird.

** The 2020 re-recording of ''The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny'' demo - before the album was even released in full, there was a divide between fans who were looking forward to it and ones who would rather see them create new material in the usual GenreRoulette vein, rather than remake an old DeathMetal / ThrashMetal demo tape. Some also take issue with it not being a full reunion (due to prominent members Danny Heifetz and Clinton "Bär" McKinnon being replaced by [[{{Music/Slayer}} Dave Lombardo]] and [[{{Music/Anthrax}} Scott Ian]])

* BrokenBase: Calling the song "Quote Unquote" VS calling it by its originally intended name, "Travolta". Chances are, if you look up a given Website/YouTube video of the song, the comments section will have at least one string of users arguing over the name of the song.

** Which is their best album? All three albums have roughly equal numbers of people who will vouch for them as their best, and they are so distinct in style that people's preferences can get quite vocal.



* CreatorsPet: Was accused of this by several of Patton's fans, especially in the early days. Despite all the success of his new band Faith No More in the late 80s, Patton seemed more focused on getting exposure for Bungle and fought to get them signed to Warner. Was part of the early friction with FNM.

* CreepyAwesome: Their music often falls into this as well, given how terrifying it can get.

** "Everyone I Went to High School with Is Dead" is about a murderer who is killing his old high school schoolmates and using the yearbook as a way to track the ones that he already killed. The music itself is chaotic and distorted, with random, agonized gibberish thrown in for good measure.

* NightmareRetardant: The hidden track at the end of ''Disco volante'' initially comes off as NightmareFuel; it's distorted and ominous, and its supposed title - "Nothing" - recalls Nihilism. Then you realize it was a case of ThrowItIn, the title an in-joke.
