- There's a long-running tradition in regards to their live shows — if a concert date happens to fall on one of the members' birthdays, the other two take it upon themselves to smash a cake in his face. In front of hundreds of thousands of gleefully applauding people singing to the birthday man.
- Muse were asked by the Italian football show Quelli che... il Calcio to mime "Uprising". They're not the type of band to lipsync, and their reaction is golden
.- He's not even trying to look like he's actually playing the drums.
- This was not the first time they had done this either.
- Also a Moment of Awesome. (Uprising is an apt choice of song.)
- Loads and loads of Muse fans despise Twilight and the fans who discovered the band through the soundtracks of various Twilight films and Stephanie Meyers shout-outs. Many of them make excuses for the band's contribution to those films. But the funny part? Bellamy just really likes the books.
- Teddy bear uprising FTW.
- During the "Sing for Absolution" video, Matt briefly rolls his eyes at the sight of a sign saying "Be prepared. The ice age is coming."
- One time on the Spanish channel Radio 3, Muse was asked to not swear in their performance. However, they never swore before, so guess what they did.
- Also counts as Narm: "Muscle Museum" contains the line "I have played in every toilet". Although it's meant to emphasise the band playing the 'toilet circuit' (a British term for the small venues of up-and-coming bands), it instead conjures images of Matt having fun in a toilet.
- They were once sent a picture of drummer Dominic Howard photoshopped onto a piece of bread. Their reactions are hilarious!
- For the 2015 Grammy Awards ceremony, Chris was unable to be present to receive the band's award for Best Rock Album. Matt and Dom's solution to still having their "best third" be represented was to hold up a picture of him on a phone throughout.
- Matt showed up at Twenty-One Pilots's concert, and when they were performing "Ride", he started dancing along like, in the word of one commentor, "a dad at a wedding".
- That's also funny since Matt also recently did get married!
- Matt himself acknowledges the hilarity of it all on his Instagram:"When you’ve taken the kids to see @twentyonepilots and @tylerrjoseph decides to come in the crowd, sings right next to you, and you embarrass yourself, your family and everyone in the building."
- What happens when you interview the band after they've had a bit too much to drink? You get Matt going on absurd tangents and behaving like an Annoying Younger Sibling around Dom.note
- The entire "Panic Station" music video, outtakes included.
- For April Fool's 2010, the official Muse messageboard uploaded Exogenesis Part IV (Salvation) which turns into a very loud and low quality cover of Creep.
- The Hullabaloo DVD extras are filled with these. The most famous being the "Muse Go Fishing Clip" and the infamous shower scene
- "Execution Commentary" is easily the funniest song out of all that they have.
- Perhaps it was trying to be scary, but it seems like its, um, lyrics were written and the song performed while Matt and co. were high out of their minds
- At the end of a 2023 show, one fan offered to swap Chris's harmonica for a kazoo. Another show in France had a fan swap one of Dom's drumsticks for a "bread stick" (a.k.a. a baguette).
