* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34u_3Z9_LUw video]] for "Rockin' the Suburbs", which consists of really angry suburban white people trying to look like a hardcore rock band. For extra funny, they're all played by Ben. The fact it was directed by Music/WeirdAlYankovic does not hurt, either.

There's a reason that Ben Folds himself said it was one of his favorite things he's written.
