Funny / blink-182

• The between-song banter on The Mark, Tom & Travis Show is so infectiously stupid, the band even goes so far as to throw together a long string of these moments as a series of hidden tracks. Listening to Mark and Tom at the height of their initial breakthrough, throwing out as many dick jokes as humanly possible in one show (actually, two) is something to behold.
  • A killer one in particular happening during Australia's Big Day Out:
    Mark: Well I gotta say, on the whole, Australia really kicks the shit out of New Zealand.
    (Cheers)
    Mark: I don't understand why you guys don't go bomb those fuckers.
    (More Cheers)
    Tom: Excuse me, Mark, may I for a second? There's actually quite a good little Italian restaurant down in Auckland that we should keep. I thought we'd keep that Italian joint because it's hard to find good spaghetti these days.
• And speaking of infectiously stupid, the video for "All The Small Things" is a parody of (mostly boy band) music videos around the Turn of the Millennium. Still a riot all these years later.
• Of course, the music video for "What's My Age Again?" deserves a mention, with the three bandmates running through the streets of L.A. butt-naked and crashing into TV commercials and news programs. They only stop when they meet porn actress Janine Lindemulder, who appears in the cover art for Enema of the State.
• Everything off of the MTV Album Launch, the most famous being how Tom and Mark troll the executives of Geffen and their manager.
• The band used Kat McSnatch's "You Are A Cunt" as the opening background song for their 2014 shows. At one show, Tom does a small dance while the song plays in the background.
• During one interview, Tom and Mark each wrote letters to each other. What did they say:
  "Tom is Gay"
  "Mark fucks dogs"
• Leave It To blink-182.
• The Epic Rocking of Built This Pool
• Admit it, it's a little funny that the band got caught up in the Fyre Festival fiasco. They ended up pulling out of the show because the promoters couldn't fulfill their contract rider, but still advertised as if they were going to perform as scheduled. Even though they never played, it still took them months to get their equipment out of customs.
• The music video for "Edging", which marks Tom DeLonge's return features the band performing and riding the rides in an abandoned carnival surrounded by rabbit-costumed people. Tom makes out with one of them and they eventually kill them all by throwing knives.
• For the 2023 tour, the band would kill the lights and have pyrotechnics going off during "Happy Holidays, You Bastard". At a show in Hershey, however, they were performing at an open air venue and the fire started blowing a little too close to Travis, leading to Mark finally barking "TURN OFF THE FIRE!" to the crew but staying in time with the song.
  It's Labor Day and my grandpa just ate seven fucking hot dogs
  Turn off the fire please, turn off the fucking fire
  • Before they even performed the song, Tom also broke character and warned Mark to stand further back for his own safety.
  Tom: Are you allowed to stand there?
  Mark: ...Oh, I'm not supposed to stand here! I'm supposed to stand way back here! Jesus Christ!
  Tom: I just saved your life, dude!
  Mark: I'd have lost my shit.
• The video for "One More Time" has re-creations of classic Blink set-ups from other videos. It's a touching walk down memory lane...but it also features their old flaming sign that just says FUCK, just to remind you which band you're watching.
