1* BrokenBase: Which is better, the faster or slower tempo for "Take Me Out"?
2* EpicRiff: "Take Me Out", either the very beginning of the song or the repeating guitar in the chorus.
3* FoeYayShipping: "I'm Your Villain". The title is just the ''beginning''... "If I could laugh...we'd be laughing lovers."
4* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The music video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3WrlwNA1zw "Piss Off"]]. For that matter, the fact that they not only wrote a completely serious song called ''"Piss Off"'' but even made a music video for it at all!
5* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: They have a devoted Chilean following.
6* HoYay:
7** "Michael" is an unsubtle sexy love song to a man. Further adding to the HoYay is that occasionally, in live shows, the line 'so come and dance with me Michael' is changed to 'so come all over me Michael' and the line 'stubble on my sticky lips' to 'stubble on my sticky hips'.
8** The line 'your famous friend, well I blew him before you' from "Do You Want To".
9** Legend states that when Alex Kapranos and Nick [=McCarthy=] first met, the fight they got into ended with them snogging.
10** "This Boy" takes on a whole new meaning when you know it was originally sung by a woman.
11** It's never stated just what they are ''doing'' in "The Dark of the Matinee".
12* NightmareFuel[=/=]NauseaFuel: The music video for "Evil Eye".
13** A different kind of nausea in "Johnny Delusional" as the constant spinning has been known to give some people motion sickness.
14* SequelDisplacement: "Take Me Out" was the video that put them on the map, no doubt to the memorable UsefulNotes/{{Dada}}ist-style. It was actually their second video; their first was "Darts of Pleasure", which was a more typical music video.
15* SignatureSong: "Take Me Out".
16* SongAssociation: ''Evil Eye'' has become a sort of unofficial theme song for ''Podcast/TheMagnusArchives'' within the fandom.
