1* Every single line of ''Opiate''[='s=] hidden track "The Gaping Lotus Experience". The second verse, for instance:
2-->I had a friend once he took some ecstasy\
3Tried to marry me and every one in the room\
4He was sort of loving, kinda caring\
5Kind of tried to fuck my La-Z-Boy\
6It got a bit messy all over the curtains\
7Arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting
8* [[https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/LydDrLjfAU8KjwsREFMTJQ.jpg This photo.]] Just look at it.
9* "Intermission" off of ''[=Ænima=]'' almost sounds like it wouldn't be out of place in Franchise/MontyPython.
10** Specifically, it sounds quite similar to the intermission from ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''.
11* The fact that the sixth song off of ''Fear Inoculum'' is called "Chocolate Chip Trip" makes it clear Tool is still the same Tool: Masters of trolling.
12* After knocking Music/TaylorSwift's ''Lover'' off the number one spot on the Billboard charts, her fans were ''not'' happy, with many tweeting to the effect of "Who the hell is this dumb old band that came out of nowhere??"
13** The fandom rivalry inspired some unlikely yet surprisingly awesome [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tov5Qgfk5f8 "Tooler Swift"]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56Cqbk9CJz8 mashups]].
14* When the band came on stage to accept the Grammy Award for 'Best Metal Performance' won by "Schism", Danny said [[RefugeInAudacity "I'd like to thank Satan!",]] and Justin chipped in [[CrossesTheLineTwice "I, uh, want to thank my dad for doing my mom..."]]
15** It should be mentioned that Best Metal Performance is given out during the non-televised version of the Grammys. So knowing that viewers at home wouldn't see them, Tool decided to have some fun...
16* At one concert, a fan tried to usurp the band by jumping on stage. Maynard's response? Tackling him and performing on top of him as if nothing happened. ''For ten whole minutes.''
17* "L.A. Municipal Court" off of ''Salival'' is nearly 7 whole minutes of [[ForInconveniencePressOne a caller slowly losing their sanity over the titular service's automated phone system]] before giving up and redialing... [[HereWeGoAgain before landing back into the automated phone system]]. If you manage to listen to the options listed by the automated voice system past all the heavy banging, you can tell the options make less and less sense as the song goes on.
