1* The video to "Girl All the Bad Guys Want", which features parodies of "It's Been Awhile" by {{Music/Staind}} and "Break Stuff" by Music/LimpBizkit.
2** At one point in the latter parody, three people dressed up as Corey Taylor, Joey Jordison and Shawn "Clown" Crahan from {{Music/Slipknot}} beat up Jaret, who's dressed up as Fred Durst from LB - this referencing how those two bands had a significant FandomRivalry at the time.
3* A lot of their songs count, but special mention goes to their cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXbgSMT-0j4 London Bridge]]
4-->'''Erick''': [''singing''] "HOW COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME?"\
5'''Jaret''': [''speaking''] I don't know.\
6'''Erick''': "HOW COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME?"\
7'''Jaret''': Erick, I don't know, I'm sorry.\
8'''Erick''': "HOW COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME?"\
9'''Jaret''': I have no earthly idea.\
10'''Erick''': "HOW COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME?"\
11'''Jaret''': Erick, I'm confused, seriously.\
12'''Erick''': "HOW COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME?"\
13'''Jaret''': ''Stop asking me that''!\
14'''Erick''': "HOW COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME?"\
15'''Jaret''': '''I DON'T KNOW'''!
16* "Here's Your Freakin' Song" deserves special mention too. It's exactly as [[StylisticSuck deliberately unprofessional]] and [[AntiLoveSong break-up-y]] as it sounds.
17* "I've got 99 biker friends... ''[[WifeBasherBasher that wanna kick your ass]]''!"
18* The entire video for "1985" is pretty hilarious, but the ending takes the cake: the housewife finally joins the band and dances on the hood of their car a 'la Music/{{Whitesnake}} until they end the song... and she keeps going while the band just [[DistractedByTheSexy stare at her slack-jawed]] until her husband comes out.
19-->'''Husband''': "Honey, what the heck're you doin'?"
20-->(Housewife looks up and hastily covers herself as the band give her an awkward applause)
21* "Ohio", which is about an ex who left the singer and moved to Ohio. The entire song, ostensibly begging the girl to come back, is pretty much just a [[IAmGreatSong bragging song]] about how great their home state of Texas is.
22** And then for a portion of the song, the style abruptly shifts from punk rock to country, with background noise of a Texas bar with hootin' and hollerin' patrons.
23** The final reason given for why she should come back to Texas?
24---> Besides, the UsefulNotes/MexicanFood sucks north of here anyway!
25* "My Hometown", which is equal parts a heartfelt love note to friends and family who supported them early on, and a TakeThat diss track to everyone else, including the hometown itself, which [[SnubByOmission they go out of their way never to name.]][[note]]For the record, it’s Wichita Falls. However they made it big in the more music-friendly city of Denton, and claim the latter more than the former.[[/note]]
26-->2, 3, this song goes out to my good friends\
27Especially the ones I had before the Grammy Nominations in 2003
28* "Running from your Dad", a blackly comedic riff on the BoyfriendBlockingDad which features an unfortunate boyfriend running away from his girlfriend's shovel-wielding father, before suffering a sudden loss of memory that is in no way related to being hit in the head with a shovel. The second verse makes it even funnier by revealing ''why'' the dad is running after him - namely, giving his daughter some rather explicit gifts for Christmas.
29--> And I can still see your dad\
30running after me with a shovel in his hands\
