* The commentaries the band do for their [=DVD=]s are hilarious. Also any time Derek Sherinian is on screen during the ''5 Years in a Livetime'' DVD. Derek, what are you doing? "Making history! And ''you?''"
* [[https://youtu.be/hzBCsWv2jfQ One track]] released on the ''Scenes from a World Tour'' fan club CD is a collection of [[HilariousOuttakes live outtakes]]. This includes...
** [[Music/ImagesAndWords "Pull Me Under"]]:
--->Pull my finger
--->Pull my finger
--->Pull my finger
--->I've gotta fart
** [[Music/MetropolisPt2ScenesFromAMemory "Fatal Tragedy"]]:
--->'''[=LaBrie=]:''' Without love, without truth
--->'''Portnoy/Petrucci:''' (You can eat my ass and balls)
--->'''[=LaBrie=]:''' You can eat my ass, and... Without faith, without hope
--->'''Portnoy/Petrucci:''' (You can eat my ass and balls)
** Later in the same track, James is forced by Mike to [[https://youtu.be/Ha-doJv-rYI?t=274 rap about being Canadian.]]
* The Ytsejam Records release of ''The Making of Scenes From A Memory'' features a particularly hilarious outtake of John Petrucci attempting to sing the final verse and chorus of "The Spirit Carries On." [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5gloy7sxuc Emphasis on "attempting."]] Bonus hilarity occurs at the end when Mike Portnoy applauds his efforts.
-->'''Mike''': HORRIBLE! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! ''(SarcasticClapping ensues)'' ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! Ladies and gentlemen...\\
'''John''': Thank you. Thank you very much.\\
'''Mike''': Hopefully the vocals ''won't'' carry on!
* '''Any''' moment the band members are goofing off in the ''Chaos in Progress'' documentary about the making of Systematic Chaos, particularly the scene of endless practice and ending with John Myung snapping.
-->'''BREAK!'''
** James [=LaBrie=] sings the chorus of "Prophets of War"...with an Indian accent.
*** As if this wasn't enough already, it's immediately followed by Mike Portnoy belting the backing vocals as if he were [[Music/TheDoobieBrothers Michael McDonald]].
** Jordan's random reactions whenever he's on camera.
** At one point, Mike retells how Jordan once told the band he had a dirty organ, and [[AccidentalPun they didn't think he was talking about the instrument]]. Jordan [[ActuallyPrettyFunny found it amusing]].
** The engineer messing with James when he asks to remove the distorting during the recording of "The Dark Eternal Night".
** James's [[ActuallyPrettyFunny reaction]] when he tries to give out an angry shout during "Prophets of War" while Petrucci shakes him.
* Their 2014 set at Sonisphere Knebworth has a subtlely humourous moment when after finishing the chorus on "On the Backs of Angels", James got distracted by one of the thrill rides, and remarked to the audience, "Gee, I wish I was on that thing!"
* On the ''Octavarium'' tour, someone threw [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywPuWyh-gCU a bra]] onto the stage, and James hung it on Mike's drum set without stopping once. Between James's baffled reaction and the AsideGlance that follows, it's hard to tell which is funnier.
* Outside the progressive metal fanbase, they are mostly known for their only hit single "[[SignatureSong Pull Me Under]]". What do they call their Best Of album? ''Greatest Hit (...and 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs)''
* [[https://youtu.be/MSI3KSo9DjM?t=514 "In the Name of God"]], for the most part, is all tense and doom and gloom... and then suddenly, at 9 minutes in, IT'S SAMBA TIME! It's very much welcome after hearing James singing about [[NightmareFuel the Waco Siege]].
** The band themselves even look amused when they start playing it on ''Live at Budokan''.
* During the outro to "The Mirror" on ''Breaking the Fourth Wall'', James spotted a few audience members ''dancing'' to the song. Unfortunately they weren't shown on camera, but James still found it ActuallyPrettyFunny.
* The music video for "Untethered Angel" is mostly a PerformanceVideo of the band members recording their parts... with a few random clips of John Petrucci loading meat into a smoker.
* On "S2N" off of ''Distance over Time'', there is an instrumental break in the middle that features a small easter egg: Owen Wilson's famous "Wow!" is played at a barely audible level during a small second of silence.
