2	[[caption-width-right:350:Happy Birthday, Murderface]]
3	The rest of the band struggles to find a birthday gift for Murderface.
4	!!Tropes:
5	* ADayInTheLimelight: For Murderface.
6	* AbsurdlyElderlyMother: At least according to the FreezeFrameBonus Prince Henry is the youngest son of the Queen, who looks old enough to be his grandmother.
7	* BilingualBonus: Murderface's name is censored in the French news coverage due to his name having a resemblance to "merde" which means shit.
8	* BloodFromTheMouth: The Queen of Denmark throws some up after sampling the mercury frosting of Murderface's birthday cake.
9	* CoolCar: Murderface gets a car worthy of his morbid collection. It's the limousine John F. Kennedy was killed in, with the driver's seat being the seat Abraham Lincoln was sitting at when he was killed.
10	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Murderface is considered just as much a beloved member of the band as the audience cheers for his bass solo, and has a huge birthday party. Future episodes have fans forget or even believe he's part of the band, thinking he's a roadie.
11	* EarlyBirdCameo: A FreezeFrameBonus of the newspaper involving the Danish Prince has a story that name drops Snakes n' Barrels, Pickles' old band, before their episode.
12	* ExactWords: Nathan orders the cake be the most "metal cake" possible. The cake frosting is made of mercury.
13	* FlippingTheBird: Murderface gives the finger to the Klokateer he tells that he'll send for his things in the morning.
14	* HardHead: Murderface headbutts a guy hard enough to fracture his skull, and plays on like it barely phases him.
15	* IncomingHam: "I HEARD IT'S SOMEBODY'S BIRTHDAYYYY!"
16	* MasochistsMeal: A cake with frosting made out of mercury.
17	* MistakenNationality: Skwisgaar confuses the Danish with the Dutch. Then again so does the newspaper writer who seems to share a similar contempt and even the Queen herself it seems as she presented Murderface with a poem by Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft who is Dutch (made even more confusing by the fact that the document uses the actual Danish coat of arms).
18	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The Queen seems to be heavily based on the then-real life Queen of Denmark Margrethe II albeit with some artistic license such as the lack of glasses and also there not having a son named Henry.
19	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Dr. Rockzo gets a beatdown by the Klokateers after Murderface gives them the throat slash sign.
20	* OneSceneWonder: Doctor Rockso's first appearance.
21	* ShoutOut:
22	** The arcade game Murderface is playing, "Wheelchair Bound," looks similar to ''VideoGame/{{Paperboy}}''.
23	** When Murderface is given his new car, Toki says it has "[[Music/MachineHeadAlbum big fat tires and everything]]".
24	* SuicideDare: When Murderface walks off stage after being given nothing by the band, Skwisgar tells him to go play records backwards and kill himself.
25	* TearsOfBlood: Murderface when he finds out he gets to destroy a piece of American history.
