* MythologyGag: In their video for the cover of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiMZa8flyYY The Muppet Show Theme Song]], they have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHK0JVAqQgE Animal holding up Dan]] during the sequence where [[TheMuppetShow the Muppets]] are using the band like puppets.

* EndingFatigue: The ending of "I Won't Let You Down", where the camera continues to fly up long after the song has ended, showing a pretty shot of the sky...alongside an eerie silence. You almost expect a JumpScare to be there, which thankfully never happens.

* TheOner: The music videos for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bav63MWNUKg "A Million Ways"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA "Here It Goes Again"]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12zJw9varYE WTF?]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w This Too]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJKythlXAIY&feature=related Shall Pass]][[note]]The second, more famous video ''does'' feature two post-production cuts to help the video synch up to the song, but the contraption ''was'' really run all the way through on the take used.[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2fpgpanZAw End Love]][[note]]An '''''18 hour''''' take sped up, slowed down, and heavily edited to resemble stop-motion[[/note]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHlJODYBLKs White Knuckles]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2fpgpanZAw The Writing's On the Wall]]; they're masters at this technique.

* HiddenTrack: "9027 KM", an unlisted track at the end of the US version of ''Oh No'', consists of [[LeaveTheCameraRunning 35 minutes of the sounds of Damian's girlfriend sleeping]].

** The ending also appears to be a reference to "White Knuckles," since one of the members says that they "can't go through the video with those dogs." They also have a "one of these things is not like the other" moment with a sheep in the bed along with the dogs (in the actual White Knuckles video, one of the members dragged a goat across the scene while the dogs were running everywhere).

* NewSoundAlbum: ''Of The Blue Colour of The Sky'' is a lot more electronic and down-tempo than their previous sound.

* BlackSheepHit: Their first major hit was "Get Over It" which is ''much'' different than their other material, essentially being a noise pop song.

* BusbyBerkeleyNumber: Done with Japanese Schoolgirls and Honda [=UNI-CUBs=] (think Segways) in the video for "I Won't Let You Down".

* ChangedForTheVideo: The video for "Needing/Getting" is them driving around in a car, making something that sounds kinda like the song. It's cool, but entirely different.

* NoBudget / OffTheShelfFX: The guys take special pride in using cheap things like furniture from Ikea ("White Knuckles") or gaffer's tape and things found at the 99 cents store ("WTF") in their videos.

** It also has a shot of the band on treadmills, though not lined up in the same setup as "Here it Goes Again". Also Damian smoosing his face on glass while wearing a green bodysuit and the the bit with the Swedish Chef and tower of Dixie cups play homage to the video's for ''All is Not Lost" and the second "This Too Shall Pass''.

* ''Haunted Ghosts'' (2014)

Rather predictably, there's also one in "WTF"

* Andy tends to be dressed in red.

* EverythingsPreciousWithPuppies: The video for "White Knuckles" features an entire crew of dogs of different breeds. Does the song have a single thing to do with dogs? No.

* DreamTeam: Lead singer Damian Kulash recorded 6 songs with AmandaPalmer, Music/BenFolds and NeilGaiman in 2011 as [[NonIndicativename 8 in 8]][[hottip:*:They were trying to make 8 songs in 8 hours, but ended up doing 6 in 12.]].
