History Trivia / OKGo

----

* NoBudget: The guys take special pride in using cheap things like furniture from Ikea ("White Knuckles") or gaffer's tape and things found at the 99 cents store ("WTF") in their videos.

* NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals: The aforementioned "White Knuckles" video. They had enough making-of mistakes and miscues to fill a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV4FLlzCrlc second film of the same length]], and even the "good" take is charmingly imperfect.

* ReferencedBy: A portion of their song "You're So Damn Hot" was used in the Series/ComedyCentralRoastOfPamelaAnderson for their video "What We Like About Pam." The song plays over a montage of Pam being a sex symbol, and is timed so that the high pitched yell at the end syncs up with [[Miserable a giant Pam in a bikini]] catching a falling man her mouth and eating him alive.

* ColbertBump: Let's face it: half of you wouldn't know about this band if not for the "Here It Goes Again," which was one of the very first big hits on Website/YouTube.

* WriterRevolt: Damian Kulash admitted that the track "9027 KM" was included on ''Oh No'' to fill up the remaining space on the American release, to avoid having the CD get copy protection (as ''Oh No'' was released at the height of Sony's rootkit scandal, in which [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil DRM software]] inserted onto Sony Music Group [=CDs=] were discovered to be rootkit malware). He has also pointed out that if the label had a brain they'd have spotted the fireworks in the background of the track dating it to July 4th, a few days before the album was submitted.

* ThePeteBest: Andy Duncan can be seen in the videos for "Don't Ask Me" and "Get Over It", but left the band in 2005 and was replaced by Andy Ross. A year later, the band filmed themselves dancing on treadmills...
