* The first chorus of "The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie" contains this gem:
--> ''[[SirSwearsALot Using most unfriendly words\\
That the village children had not yet heard]]\\
[[ClusterFBomb The baker shouted threats by canzonette]]\\
[[ComicalOverreaction To curse the crafty bird]]\\
[[FloweryInsults "You rotten wooden mixing spoon\\
Why, you midnight-winged raccoon\\
You better bring those pastries back\\
You no-good burned-black macaroon!"]]''
** The crow's reaction to Fox's flattery is equally [[LargeHam over the top]]: "Every rook and jay in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvidae Corvidae's]] been [[StealthPun ravin']] about me too".
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fRFMkFbH8I&ab_channel=MeWithoutYouVEVO music video]] features plenty of [[LargeHam comical overacting]] in and of itself. Additional bits of hilarity include the performers [[StylisticSuck manually moving the puppets around the stage]], the use of objects strung across with wire to mimic SymbolSwearing, and the baker's [[EpicFail failed]] slow-motion dive towards the falling cookie.
* Parts of "Fig With a Bellyache" can only be described as ''hilariously'' blunt. The fact that the sexual nature of the lyrics is both more-or-less unique to this track and never given any special emphasis relative to any other song makes it even more ridiculous, in a [[DoubleTake "Did I just hear that?"]] kind of way.
--> ''[[AllMenArePerverts We pretend to care like we understand\\
Our eyes go soft, but know it now]]\\
[[UnusualEuphemism What we're thinking about's your mammary glands\\
And how to sail your birth canal]]''
--> -
--> ''[[RagingStiffie The dog below our waist's aroused]]\\
As arms embraced the pretty gals\\
[[StupidSexyFlanders It came much more as a surprise\\
It happening while I hugged the guys]]''
* In "Cattail Down", Aaron offhandedly mentions finding a bag of marijuana along his travels before [[AsideComment telling his mom]] [[DrugsAreBad that they left it there]].
* This bit from "Fox's Dream of the Log Flume" is pure BlackComedy in an otherwise intensely dramatic piece:
-->''Looking down at the waltzer, out at the sea\\
And I asked her: "You ever have that recurring fantasy?\\
[[WouldHurtAChild Where you push little kids from the tops of the rides?]]\\
And she shook her head no, [[OpenMouthInsertFoot I said]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial "Oh, neither do I"]]''
* In ''Pale Horses'', there's something amusing about Aaron singing [[GoshDangItToHeck "To heck with all the drugs my parents did!"]] in "Mexican War Streets" while reserving an actual PrecisionFStrike for [[BaldnessAngst describing his hairline]] in "Rainbow Signs".
* During live shows, Aaron ended up [[LyricSwap updating a lyric]] from [[https://www.reddit.com/r/mewithoutYou/comments/2qtrcg/comment/cs5a1ey/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 "C-Minor"]] on different occasions. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/mewithoutYou/comments/acrzv3/comment/edayc75/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 One known example]] is as follows:
--> "I'm no longer a virgin after 30 something years\\
[[MoodWhiplash But personally my sex-life]] [[LampshadeHanging is none of your business]]"
* During one of the performances for the band's Farwell Tour, someone threw a horse mask onto the stage. Without missing a beat, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/mewithoutYou/comments/vdck07/a_horse_sings_january_1979/ Aaron actually ended up performing with it on for a few minutes]].
