- Alternative Joke Interpretation: In "Word Crimes", the line "You should never|Write words using numbers|Unless you're seven" could be seen as referring to age or a reference to the film Se7en.
- Crosses the Line Twice: "Jackson Park Express", a Cat Stevens pastiche wherein the narrator sits across from a woman on the bus and mistakes every subtle moment each of them makes as them having a heartfelt conversation through body language... then it gets really weird.
- Harsher in Hindsight: The song "Tacky" features the line "I would livetweet a funeral, Take a selfie with the deceased." YouTuber Logan Paul caused a massive kerfuffle throughout the site after doing something very similar—namely, a clickbait vlog in front of a hanged body at Aokigahara.
- One-Scene Wonder: All of the Celebrity Cameos in the music video for "Tacky" are this, Jack Black being the most notable one.
- Paranoia Fuel: In the video for "Foil" the conspiracy nut narrator turns out to have been Properly Paranoid the whole time; after Al gets drugged and taken away by The Men in Black, the producer of the show peels off his mask to reveal himself as an alien reptile.Be aware! There's always someone that's watching you!
- Unintentional Period Piece: The gag about not having bills small enough to use in a vending machine in "First World Problems" dates the song to an era where not too many of them accepted debit and credit cards.
- Values Dissonance: "Word Crimes" features the line "'cause you write like a spastic" in reference to the subject's poor grammar. While "spastic" was seen as an innocuous way of calling someone hyperactive and/or unintelligent in the US, the word is considered an ableist slur in the UK. Al issued an apology once he was informed about this by British audiences, later voicing his regret over the line's inclusion. Subsequently on the Mandatory World Tour, Al dropped the line when performing the song in Europe and Australia.
