* RousingLullaby: "Go to Sleep Little Leech" is all about how [[ChildrenAreAWaste the child being sung to is a maddening, parasitic burden. The second verse is even about how happy Mike's dad was to be able to kick him out of the house.

No longer a trope.


* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: After going through several animals in the "Mounted Animal Nature Trail" chorus, each of them making no noise (because they are dead and stuffed), they reach the crow. The crow actually makes a noise, prompting Mike to go "I guess it was alive!"

The Arrogant Worms are a three-man [[ComedyMusic comedy folk band]] from [[strike: Alberta, Canada]] Kingston, Ontario. They gained massive popularity on the internet in the early 2000s, with their catchy tunes and hilarious jabs at Canadian culture. They got so popular that another Canadian comedy group, Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie, has had the misfortune of their entire catalog being attributed to the Worms.

* AMountieWillSing: The American tourists from "The Mountie Song" prompt the titular Mountie to sing to them. He only gets a few bars in before they cut him off and tell him he's a crummy Mountie.

* EnemyMime: The narrator of "Mime Abduction" is [[HumiliationConga kidnapped and then tortured and then forced to jam Cajun music and then after a breif altercation, escape from]] a gang of angry mimes. They force him to perform skits (including the Invisible Box Routine) and play the accordion for them while they sit in invisible chairs drinking imaginary tea.

* RageBreakingPoint: The Mountie from "The Mountie Song" is faced with a barrage of questions from a crowd of tourists, starting with the [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore hackneyed]] ("Hey, Mountie, where's your man? Haven't you got him yet?") and proceeding to become so inane ("What's your shoe size? What does your cat look like? Why don't you drive a little car like the Shriners?") that he ''screams'' in anguish.



* TakeThat: On their live DVD, ''Semi-Conducted'', a performance of "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate" with full symphony back-up concludes with Mike saying, "Let's see Captain Tractor cover that!" ... referring to the cover version that is now (arguably) more well-known than the original.
