  • Crosses the Line Twice: During the 'Yipe Stripes' number, Mike and the Bots change the title repetition into phrases like 'White Flight,' and eventually 'Sieg Heil.'
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: For Best Brains: Mikey, for his weaselly nerdiness and Wangst. The fact his name is "Mikey" made it a natural to have Mike play him in a host segment. They actually managed to get the actor to make an appearance at a convention, where he explained he was trying to imitate the performance of the lead actress as he assumed she was a pro who really knew what she was doing, only to later discover she was a flight attendant who'd also never acted before.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: invoked The riff about Andy's "screams of those who have wronged me" manifesto, several years before Columbine/Virginia Tech.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: invoked Crow and Tom talk about how solid and loving the romance between Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love is. Cobain OD'ed six months later. However, their relationship was... stormy even before that.
