* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: People have noticed the similarity between the chorus of "21 Guns" and, of all things, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAH6hNFkHTw "Route 209"]] from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Pokémon]]''. For examples predating ''Pokémon'', the chorus also sounds suspiciously similar to those of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-9F_z0B2TA "All the Young Dudes"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVd-n3e7QLo ELO's "Telephone Line"]].

** The usage of [[NWordPrivileges the N-Word]] in "American Eulogy", while not as prevalent as the usage of "faggot" off of ''American Idiot'', still can get some people irked.

Zapping.


** The ending of "Last Night On Earth" absolutely never fails to give this troper chills. Especially given that it comes right on the heels of the certifiably insane "Christian's Inferno," and closes act 1 of the album.

** Could also be viewed as HillariousInHindsight: This album dropped before the Occupy movement started, and the "Take down the whole entire system" persona of Christian that is without a clearly-defined message of positive change is highly reflective of the Occupy movement as a whole, though they are clearly less violent.
