* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: A lot of it, especially when the band does [[ProgressiveRock prog.]]
** Example: "Woman and Man." Combine an EpicRiff with WordSaladLyrics and add in an ''epic'' four-minute guitar solo.
** "Ocean Man", as used at the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie''.
** It's Gonna Be A Long Night, one of the notable times the band outright made something punk-influenced.
** Two words. "Transdermal Celebration".
** Can't forget "Buckingham Green", "What Deaner Was Talking About" and "Demon Sweat".
** "That Man (From the Flatland) from the ''Ceaser'' demos certainly counts as one.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Can all of their music be this?
** However, "Transdermal Celebration", as well as some other songs they came out with as they [[GrowingTheBeard grew the beard]], don't really count.
** Some albums, like ''The Pod'', are so full of noise and weird that when a nice, pleasant, ''normal'' song comes along, it comes across as a BLAM.
** The song "Don't Laugh (I Love You)" is, for the most part, a [[SillyLoveSongs silly love song]] with slightly [[WordSaladLyrics unconventional]] lyrics. And then there's this completely inexplicable bridge:
--> Creator/ErnestHemingway would always be there for me
--> But now Ernest Hemingway is dead
*** And then it all ends in a [[LastNoteNightmare bizarre cacophony of noise and chanted voices]].
* CreatorWorship: In case you haven't noticed, they've earned themselves a small, but incredibly dedicated cult following that, despite them not releasing new material since ''2007'' is still going strong to this day.
* EpicRiff: Several. There's a reason why Dean's considered one of the best guitarists of his time.
** "You Fucked Up"
** "Frank"
** "Sketches of Winkle"
** "Awesome Sound [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qncKjGd1qg when played live]] is ten minutes of living up to its name.
** "It's Gonna Be a Long Night"
** "The Grobe"
** "Stroker Ace"
** "Transitions"
** "Can U Taste the Waste?"
** "Woman and Man"
** How about "Transdermal Celebration"?
** "I'll be your Jonny on the Spot"
** "The Golden Eel"
** A rare non-guitar example would be the sax riff on "Your Party".
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: So, so many.
** The ''At the Cat's Cradle'' [=DVD=] performance of "The Going Gets Tough from the Getgo" has a couple. For one, there's Gener's priceless facial expressions after flubbing the lyrics by trying to begin the verse instead of repeating the chorus, a mistake he makes several times in a row. More amusingly, though, there's Dean Ween's ad-libbed line that comes completely out of left field: "[[HoYay Stick it between my titties, Gener, and make me cum!]]"
** Speaking of Dean's live adlibs, there's also the version of "The Blarney Stone" on their ''Live in Chicago'' DVD. This rendition of the song features an improvised verse that arguably has some of their most [[RefugeInAudacity audacious]] lines ever, such as "I got cancer in me crack / I've got tumors on me nutsack."
** "Cold Blows The Wind" is about wanting to be TogetherInDeath and is played straight enough to be listed under "TearJerker" below - but on ''All Request Live'', Dean adds a bit of BlackComedy by introducing it as "a song about a dead bitch".
* GrowingTheBeard: Whether you prefer their early "brown" albums, ''Chocolate and Cheese'' and beyond, or all of it, their early independent albums they recorded as teens are universally regarded as worse than their releases from ''[=GodWeenSatan=]'' onwards.
* HarsherInHindsight: An early Ween bio from Twin/Tone Records joked that Gene (Aaron) was punished by Boognish for trying to leave the band. Then in 2012 Aaron actually left the band to escape his alcohol and drug addiction.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** "Stay Forever" and "She's Your Baby" from the end of ''White Pepper'' are a pair of very heartfelt love songs. "Stay Forever" in particular is a popular pick at Ween fans' weddings. "Sweetheart in the Summer" from ''La Cucaracha'' is similar, with the added bonus of [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Dean on vocals]]. The rather wistful tone of all three could also make them double as [[TearJerker tear-jerkers]].
** As a tribute to ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' creator Stephen Hillenburg, the band played "Ocean Man" and "Loop De Loop" (a song they wrote for the show) at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz8V0raDZTA their concert at the Met on December 14, 2018]].
* MemeticMutation: "Ocean Man" began to spike in popularity with Website/YouTube and Vine video makers in 2016. This is likely tied to "Ocean Man" being the end credits song for ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'', leading to several videos where it's played over other movies or show endings. It gained even more recognition after Stephen Hillenberg's death in 2018.
* NightmareFuel:''The Pod'' is easily the most bizarre album by them by far. While it has its humor, it gets lost in the sludgy quality. Some vocals sound monstrous like in "The Stallion (Pt. 1)", and the album has a forboding feel in certain parts of the songs. For example, the song “Laura” is a song apparently about a man on the edge of suicide from a breakup. The song ends with a very trippy guitar solo. Needless to say, because of the known illness the duo were in during the making of this album, this album does fit the mood of feeling like crap......with drugs.
* OlderThanTheyThink: The vocals in "Push th' Little Daisies" - especially during the last verse - are sometimes described as an Eric Cartman impression despite the song being recorded years before the first episode of WesternAnimation/SouthPark aired.
* SignatureSong: Either "Push Th' Little Daisies" or "Ocean Man".
* {{Squick}}: A lot of their songs could provoke this reaction, especially "Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down)".
* TearJerker: "Transdermal Celebration" is already a remarkably heartbreaking song (especially when you consider the band's general output), but add the [[https://youtu.be/PtuVA4NOm0I official video]] by Adam Phillips of {{WebAnimation/Brackenwood}} fame, and it's absolutely devastating. Actually a great deal of ''Quebec'' is rather sorrowful in tone.
** "Cold Blows The Wind", their interpretation of the traditional English folk song "[[TheMourningAfter The Unqui]][[ExcessiveMourning et Grave]]." Except, unlike in the original, it seems like the singer's desire to be TogetherInDeath with their dearly departed [[DownerEnding isn't rebuked]], though this might be [[BittersweetEnding more bittersweet, depending on your mood]].
** Also from ''The Mollusk'', "It's Gonna Be (Alright)", a very [[SincerityMode sincere]] BreakupSong. Rather than being [[AntiLoveSong angry]] or [[{{Wangst}} angsty]] about the break-up, it's apologetic, hoping that this is the right thing for the both of them.
--> ''And if the mist ever lets the sun through...''\\
''I just hope I did the right thing for me and you.''
** ''The Mollusk'''s third tear-jerker, possibly the bleakest of them all, is the closer, "She Wanted to Leave." While the identity of "she" is debatable (is it the narrator's lover? His daughter? His ship?), and while it's delivered in a silly Irish-pirate accent, at its core it's a poignant story of loss and regret.
--> ''I've never loved thee, and now I must leave - now I must leave.''
** "Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down)" also counts, given the subject matter.
** "I Don't Want It" and "If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)" from ''Quebec'' are both very clearly about Gene's divorce.
*** The guitar solo that closes "I Don't Want It." You can ''feel'' the anguish in the notes.
* VindicatedByHistory: ''Quebec''. It wasn't well-received on its' initial release and polarised the fanbase for [[CerebusSyndrome its overtly prog-rock sound and more serious-than-usual subject matter]], brought upon by Gener's divorce and Claude Coleman's car accident. (Which led to him being unable to play on the album, being replaced by Josh Freese until he was well enough to get back on the kit.) Response to the album has become much more positive in recent times, with Stereogum declaring it in 2012 to be the best Ween album.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Most of their songs aren't really kid friendly, yet they composed an original song for a ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode, and their song "Ocean Man" from ''Music/TheMollusk'' was played at the end of [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie the movie.]]
