30	* AsHimself: When they appeared on Creator/PamelaAnderson's TV show Series/{{VIP}} they played themselves. The episode even featured several of their songs.
31	* AttackofThe50FtWhatEver:
32	** In the music video for "Music/{{Miserable}}" they play all over the body of a giant Pamela Anderson. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for the band [[ImAHumanitarian she chases them down and eats them alive.]] ]]
33	** One of their other videos features "Mulletron", a HumongousMecha with the power to give people mullets and garish clothes via zapping them with a laser.
34	* ButtMonkey: Despite the GushingAboutGuestStars that occurred in the episode, lead singer A.Jay Popoff wound up being this during Lit's guest spot on Series/{{VIP}}. Over the course of the episode he winds up stuck in his boxers because his pants were stolen, loses his lucky belt buckle ''twice'' and gets kidnapped at gunpoint by arms dealers. To top it all off, in the music video at the end of the episode [[spoiler: he gets ''eaten alive'' by a giant version of Val.]]
35	* ColossusClimb: Their most famous video features them exploring Pamela Anderson's body. In the video, Pam is portrayed as a bikini-clad [[GiantWoman giantess]].
36	* CoverVersion: 2022's ''Tastes Like Gold'' concludes with their cover of "Let's Go" by Music/TheCars.
37	* DeathByMusicVideo: Their video for "''Music/{{Miserable}}''" features the band playing on a giant Creator/PamelaAnderson. For most of the video, Pam seems happy to let them perform and walk on her various body parts, but towards the end of the video, she suddenly turns on the band and starts hunting them down and swallowing them alive, starting with the bassist and one-by-one gobbling them up until finally devouring lead singer A.J. Popoff.
38	* EverybodyDiesEnding: [[spoiler: "Miserable" ends with Creator/PamelaAnderson hunting down each of the band members and eating them alive, leaving no survivors.]]
39	* GenreShift: Though mostly known as an Alt Rock group, in recent years they've experimented with other styles and have currently found success in country music.
40	* GiantWoman: The music video of "Miserable" features a giant version of Creator/PamelaAnderson hunting down the band [[spoiler:and eating them all once they're captured one by one]].
41	* GushingAboutGuestStars: Their episode of Series/{{VIP}} featured its fair share of this, with the female members of VIP all fawning over them and Val being starstruck. Though Pam being a real life fan probably contributed. And the video played at the end subverts it by featuring Val as [[spoiler: a GiantWoman who toys with the guys as she swallows them whole.]]
42	* HotPaintJob: Jeremy Popoff, the band's lead guitarist's IconicItem(s) are a pair of shoes with white flames on them.
43	%% * LosingAShoeInTheStruggle
44	* MouthScreen: The lyric videos for "Mouth Shut" and "Kicked off the Plane" feature a close-up of a woman's mouth as she sings along. She also has on gold lipstick.
45	* NewSoundAlbum: "These are the Days" is country-oriented.
46	* NoBodyLovesTheBassist: Kevin Baldes, the band's bassist, is the first one to get eaten in the music video for "Miserable".

52	* SiblingTeam: Lead singer A. Jay Popoff and guitarist Jeremy Popoff are brothers. Jeremy is the older brother while A. Jay is the younger brother.
53	* ThoseTwoGuys: Brothers A. Jay and Jeremy Popoff are often seen together the most out of the four members, especially in interviews, and even toured as a duo for a brief period before reuniting with the rest of the band.
54	* WhatDidIDoLastNight: The premise of "My Own Worst Enemy" is about getting so black out drunk that the singer can't remember how his car wound up on his lawn, climbing through his window when he got locked out of his house, or the violent argument he had with his girlfriend that ended with her chucking something at his head and taking off.
55	* WhileRomeBurns: The music video for "Over My Head" starts with the band performing in a nightclub while [[WesternAnimation/TitanAE the Drej are attacking the earth.]]
