  • Acting for Two: Jim DeCaire does several voices on "Uncle Bruno's Christmas Story". The same album has Lynn voicing two characters in the skit "Doctor Baduchi".
  • Black Sheep Hit: Most casual fans would know them only for "Second Week of Deer Camp" and "Rusty Chevrolet". Both songs are outside their normal scope, as they have much sparser instrumentation ("Second Week" is just gutbucket bass and accordion; "Rusty Chevrolet" is just acoustic guitar and synthesizer). Also, both songs don't even including most of the band, with "Second Week" in particular featuring a large number of guests (including the people playing the only two instruments in the song).
  • Creator Couple: Lynn fit this twice, being married first to percussionist Jerry Coffey and then (from about 2007 onward) then to guitarist Jim Bellmore.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes:
    • Their first four albums, which were released only on cassette. While For Diehards Only and Diehards II include most of the songs from these albums, they're also missing most of the interstitial skits. Also, the songs from Yoopanese were at least partially re-recorded for the former.
    • The 1997 video compilation "It's About Time, Eh!" is itself an example. It contains five original songs: "Camp Go for Beer" (not released otherwise), "Best Seat in the House" (not released on any Da Yoopers project, although Jim Bellmore later re-recorded it on his Bandcamp page), "Why Do Girls Think I'm Scary" (later included on Jackpine Savage), a re-recording of "Diarrhea" (later posted on the band's website and included on Songs for Fart Lovers), and "Christmas Is Everywhere" (later included on Naked Elves in Cowboy Boots).
  • No-Hit Wonder: None of their songs have charted.
  • The Pete Best: Jim Pennell, the original bassist. He was gone around the time "Second Week of Deer Camp" came out. (And as mentioned above, he's not even on that song.)
  • Throw It In!: Joe Potila mumbles "I messed up" at the end of "Nudsie's Wedding Reception".
