[[caption-width-right:300:''No reason to live, but we like it that way.'']]

* CrossesTheLineTwice: No shit. One instance that springs to mind is the music video for "I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks", in which Jimmy & Evil Jared play a pair of depraved CampGay|s hosting a public-access show.

* TheDinnermobile: In the music video for "Ralph Wiggum" (a found-lyrics song consisting of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Ralph Wiggum]] quotes), the lyrics "Go Banana" cut to show a banana-shaped car driving past.

* FilkSong: "Your Only Friends Are Make Believe" pays a visit to ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'' with a verbal thrashing of mailman Mr. Mcfeely.

* WhereAreTheyNowEnding: At the end of the "''Why's Everybody Always Picking On Me?''" video clip:

'Course, it's hard to hide a hard-on when you're [[CreepyCrosdresser dressed like Minnie Pearl]].

* {{Parody}}: "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying" is a parody of the narratives usually found in Red Sovine's "trucker songs".

* ''Hooray For Boobies'' (2000)

* BrainlessBeauty: This bit from "I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks":
-->Cause 'super model' means voluptuous but is also is synonymous with 'Super dumb'

-->''And when you finally regain consciousness\\

--> ''"You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals''
--> ''So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel."''

-->''"Yeah, well, I sing like an amputee, though."''\\

The band started as a hip-hop group consisting of lead singer James "Jimmy Pop" Franks and Michael "Daddy Long Legs" Bowe before becoming a RapMetal band and eventually a more traditional rock band with a DJ, with [[RevolvingDoorBand Franks being the only consistent member in the 20 year career]]. As such, their style tends to be [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly a little all-over-the-map]], but it's tied together by their lyrics. Usually considered more of a comedy band than anything, the Bloodhound Gang specialize in [[BlackComedy off-color humor]], [[DoubleEntendre dick jokes]] and [[WorldOfPun many, many, many puns.]]

* ContemptibleCover:
** ''Hefty Fine'', which has a [[FanDisservice naked obese man]].
** And for the follow-up, ''Hard-Off'', there's a topless old lady whose drooping breasts extend out of frame.

** ''One Fierce Beer Coaster'' ends with "Reflections of [[SdrawkcabName Remoh]]", where Jimmy Pop explains the album title while imitating [[TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]].
* StupidStatementDanceMix: "Ralph Wiggum," made up entirely of [[TheSimpsons Ralph Wiggum]] quotes (sung by Jimmy Pop rather than sampled directly from the show). [[spoiler: And one Chief Wiggum quote. And [[SubliminalSeduction Yvan eht nioj!]]]]

* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo".

* UranusIsShowing: In "Fire Water Burn""
"I am hung like planet Pluto, hard to see with the naked eye
But if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don't shine".
* VulgarHumor: Including the above-mentioned trope, their songs contain pretty much every variation of this.

* BalladOfX: "The Ballad of Chasey Lain". Subverted as it's not so much "ballad" as it is a mid-tempo alt-rock song about a Chasey Lain stalker who eventually kidnaps her.

* StealthPun

* AntiLoveSong: "No Hard Feelings" is pretty cold.
* BalladOfX: "The Ballad of Chasey Lain".
* BoastfulRap: "The Inevitable Return Of The Great White Dope" is a great example of Jimmy Pop's unique talents in this field.

** And for the follow-up, ''Hard-Off'', the female version.

* LoonyFan: "The Ballad of Chasey Lain", about a fan of said porn star which eventually kidnaps her as she doesn't reply his letter.

** ShirtlessScene

Following [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodhound_Gang#Onstage_antics some controversial on-stage antics during a performance in Ukraine]], the band broke up in 2013. Bassist "Evil" Jarred Hasselhoff was quoted as saying "If the Bloodhound Gang still exist, yes, I'm still a member."

The opening skit to ''Hefty Fine'', "Strictly For the Tardcore", references Music/{{Eminem}}'s "The Real Slim Shady" (which, in turn, included a reference to "The Bad Touch").

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "'''F'''oxtrot '''U'''niform '''C'''harlie '''K'''ilo" was played on the radio pretty regularly for a while.

** The second verse of "Fire Water Burn" paraphrases lyrics from the Music/{{Pixies}} song "Monkey's Gone To Heaven."
-->''"So if man is five, and the devil is six\\

* CasanovaWannabe: Jimmy Pop's persona on "The Bad Touch," "Unn Tiss Unn Tiss Unn Tiss" and "Clean Up In Aisle Sexy" is that of a guy who genuinely believes that he's the sexiest man alive and who's awful, awful puns are the epitome of charm.
