History YMMV / MrBungle

* EarWorm:
** Now I'm findiiiiiing truuuuuuuth is a ruin...
** There's no place like home...
** "Oooooh, an egg comes out of a chick/Oooooh, a chick comes out of an egg!"
** "Girls of Porn." If the unbelievably obscene lyrics don't stick with you, the tune sure will.
** Really, nearly all their music is catchy, no matter how weird it gets.

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

** FandomBerserkButton: Anthony Kiedis in particular. Favorably mentioning him in front of any given Mr. Bungle fan is [[{{Understatement}} probably a bad idea]].

** "Girls Of Porn." If the unbelievably obscene lyrics don't stick with you, the tune sure will.

** "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.

** The art from their first album, borrowed from the comic "Beautiful Stories For Ugly Children," certainly counts.
* NightmareRetardant: The hidden track at the end of ''Disco Volante'' initially comes off as Nightmare Fuel; 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.

* HellIsThatNoise:
** The aforementioned endings of "The Bends" and "Goodbye Sober Day," as well as the ending of "My Ass Is On Fire."
** The end of "Egg", as the band performs one of the most accurate pastiches of Music/CaptainBeefheart ever put to record, which can be disturbing in a musical UncannyValley type way.

* FreudWasRight: "Squeeze Me Macaroni" and "The Girls Of Porn."

* MisattributedSong: The Ping Pang Band's version of [[Music/BritneySpears "...Baby One More Time"]] is commonly misattributed to either Mr. Bungle or Music/MikePatton solo. This was initially because the song being uploaded to an FTP otherwise dedicated to Mr. Bungle bootlegs, as well as because the vocals were done in Patton's style.

* NightmareFuel:

* MagnumOpus: Often considered to be ''California'', although all three albums have substantial contingents of fans who will vouch for them.

* EarWorm - Now I'm findiiiiiing truuuuuuuth is a ruin...

* FreudWasRight - "Squeeze Me Macaroni" and "The Girls Of Porn."
* FandomRivalry - With the Music/RedHotChiliPeppers and, to some extent, Music/FaithNoMore.
* HellIsThatNoise - The aforementioned endings of "The Bends" and "Goodbye Sober Day," as well as the ending of "My Ass Is On Fire."
** The end of Egg can qualify too, as the band performs one of the most accurate pastiches of Captain Beefheart ever put to record, which can be disturbing to some in a musical UncannyValley type way

** can also be seen as an example of LyricalDissonance if you take the alternate interpretation of the lyrics, which makes them just existential musings on mortality
