2----
3* [[GratuitousSpanish SOME SPANISH LESSON]] [[{{Oireland}} WITH AN IRISH ACCENT!!!]]
4* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHorYqIVr9o Top 10 things U2 has learned over the years.]]
5** Particularly
6--> [[DeadpanSnarker Larry]]: Sometimes when we shout, "Are you ready to rock?" I don't ''care'' if you're ready to rock.
7* May I remind you that the Dalton Brothers play ''both'' kinds of music -- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj0IT77Asbs country AND western!]]
8* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfjOmR_75uw Godfather.]] More OohMeAccentsSlipping than the Dalton Brothers! Babyface Mullen! The violin!
9* Bono's count-off at the beginning of "Vertigo": "1... 2... 3... 14!" Made even funnier on live video when he preceded the bad Spanish by telling the audience he was going to "teach [them] some Gaelic."
10** Listen closer. That first word is ''uno'''s'''''. Spanish for "some".
11*** Another way to hear it: "11[[note]]"onze," French[[/note]], 2, 3[[note]]both in Spanish[[/note]], 14[[note]]back to French[[/note]]!"
12* Quite a few of [=MacPhisto=]'s Zoo TV phone calls, especially in the Dublin gig, where he actually phoned home to find the four years old Jordan Hewson answering.
13--> [[CutenessOverload Daddy, if that's you, we're not coming home until you take your horns off! Bye-byyye!]]
14* [[http://youtu.be/qq20IWbZP-Y A Day in the Life of The Edge]]. A documentary on [[SpoilerTitle a day in the life of The Edge]] shot by Bono, which starts with Bono breaking into Edge's hotel room and finding out [[JustForFun/OneOfUs the Edge falls asleep to the Sci-Fi channel]].
15* Their appearance during ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E22TrashOfTheTitans Trash of the Titans]]":
16-->'''Bono:''' Hold on, people. He's talking about waste management, that affects the whole damn planet!
17-->'''The Edge:''' Aw, here we go... (''to Larry'') What do you say we slip out to Moe's for a pint?
18-->'''Adam:''' Can I come?
19-->(''{{beat}}'')
20-->'''The Edge:''' No.
21-->'''Adam:''' Wankers...
22* A couple of times during the [=PopMart=] tour, the band got stuck inside the lemon, [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap Spinal Tap]]-style.
23** It's become slightly memetic how much The Edge in particular fears becoming Spinal Tap. "I saw that film and didn't laugh so much as I wept."
