* AluminiumChristmasTrees:
** Viewers of the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode of the same name might be surprised to discover that, yes, this does exist; and no, the depiction of it on the episode wasn't exaggerated.
** The same applies to Music/WeirdAlYankovic's parody version, "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" -- some were surprised that something so rambling and esoteric could actually be based on a real song.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Chapter 5, which has every curse word bleeped out by [[SoundEffectBleep R Kelly saying “doo”]]. This only happens in Chapter 5, with no reason given as to why that sole chapter is bleeped out when other chapters have the swearing intact.
* BileFascination:
** The notorious amount of {{narm}}, FridgeLogic and [[DullSurprise bad acting]], plus the [[CatharsisFactor schadenfreude]] of seeing the now-disgraced Music/RKelly willingly making an ass of himself by creating and starring in the films, has made the series a popular choice for bad movie nights.
** British DJ Scott Mills found the series so unintentionally hilarious that he began recapping episodes on his BBC Radio 1 show. Listeners kept calling in to say how funny they found the segment, so it ended up running for weeks as Scott took his audience through the twists and turns while cackling all the way.
* DesignatedHero: Sylvester and Twan are both portrayed in a sympathetic light, but Sylvester starts Chapter 1 having had slept with a random woman, and quickly escalating to pointing a gun at the couple living in the apartment. Twan at least doesn't sleep around, but would have killed multiple people over the first night [[PragmaticVillainy if Sylvester didn't stop him just to protect their own asses.]] Twan says he's trying to turn his life around, but only makes one real attempt once he hears that Tina had a kid from him.
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Say what you will about the films (or Kelly himself), but he's surprisingly convincing as Randolph and Pimp Luscious.

* SoBadItWasBetter: The first set of chapters is 40 minutes of hysterically bad melodrama. The second is basically a straightforward comedy. "Fans" were not interested.
* SoBadItsGood: Second only to ''Film/TheRoom2003'', these films can only be described as "so awful it's ''amazing!''"
* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Every single person in the song is either cheating on their significant other, ''trying'' to cheat on their significant other, or resorting to violence against the person their significant other cheated on them with. If it wasn't so silly people would have no reason to give a damn about any of it.
