Go To

  • Funny Moments: Their more political tweets can be quite funny:
    • For example, after the failure of the Republican health care plan that Paul Ryan is their choice for what to listen to when they're depressed.
    • Similarly, the band noticing that some of Trump's tweeting style sounds unusually familiar...
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: They seem to be pretty popular among Russians.
  • I Am Not Shazam: Papa Roach is not Jacoby's stage name.
  • Memetic Mutation: The intro to "Last Resort", especially with all the parodies.
    • "CUT MY STEAK INTO PIECES, THIS IS MY PLASTIC FORK!"
    • "CUT MY FROG INTO PIECES, THIS IS MY LAB REPORT!"
    • "CUT MY WIFE INTO PIECES, THIS IS MY LAST DIVORCE!" - Henry VIII
    • The one with "CUT MY LIFE INTO PIZZA" has ascended, as the band now has a pizza cutter as part of their merch.
  • Signature Song: "Last Resort" is an iconic Nu Metal hit, though "Scars" was their biggest hit on the charts due to it having been released around the time that emo was starting to become mainstream.
  • Squick: The cover of their second album Infest is a macro shot of a cockroach looking down at the camera. As a result, some territories used a stylized photo of the band as the cover instead.
  • Tear Jerker: "Broken Home" is sung in the perspective of a child who witnesses his own family fall apart as the relationship between his own parents slowly turns sour, feeling more and more powerless and torn as the song progresses, an occurrence that's unfortunately all too common.
