* ApprovalOfGod: The band loved "Gump," Music/WeirdAlYankovic's ''Film/ForrestGump''-themed parody of "Lump" so much that in their live performances, they'd end with his version of the last lyric ("And that's all I have to say about that") rather than "Is this Lump out of my head?" They'd later hire him to direct their video for "Mixed Up SOB."

* CreatorPreferredAdaptation: In a comedy version, ever since Music/WeirdAlYankovic closed his parody of "Lump" with "And that's all I have to say about that", the band also includes the ''Film/ForrestGump'' quote live with the original.

* OneOfUs: They'd be a lock for this just for performing at the launch event for ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', but then they performed a ListSong, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GKykZ5zmqU "Can't Stop (Catchin' 'Em All)"]], about all of...er, ''most'' of the new Unova-native Pokémon.

* ThrowItIn: At the end of the "Mach 5" PerformanceVideo, we see TheStinger where the band perform on the street to an uncaring public, and a policeman approaches, presumably to order the band to stop. The policeman just happened to be attending the video shoot, and asked Chris Ballew if it would be funny if he made an appearance, to which Chris happily agreed.
