The camera zooms in on his mouth as he's speaking, but with the subtitles suddenly removed, the audience has no idea what he's saying.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: "Sulk" was originally written as a response to the Hungerford Massacre, a mass shooting that occurred in England just two years after Radiohead's formation as On a Friday. However, because Music/KurtCobain committed suicide by shotgun during ''The Bends''' production, the lyrics were rewritten to remove any overt references to the massacre, particularly with the closing line's first half being changed from "just shoot your gun" to "just like your dad," so that audiences didn't mistake the song as being about Cobain.

* BrownNote: The music video for "Just" begins with a man lying down in the middle of the street and refusing to budge. As people gather, they ask him (all the dialogue being in subtitles, as they are drowned out by the music) why he's lying there, and after refusing over and over again, he finally caves in. The camera zooms in on his mouth as he's speaking, but with the subtitles suddenly removed, the audience has no idea what he's saying. (It doesn't help that this is shot from a variety of angles to make this more difficult to comprehend.) The final scene of the video is of all the people around him lying on the ground in the same posture, his words presumably having had the exact same effect on them as on him.
** The closeup has him repeating "God help me, I'll tell you." and it's implied that he's actually saying it during the shot of Radiohead looking out the window.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The video for "Street Spirit".
* DeusAngstMachina: This is a really angsty album, dealing with everything from stagnant relationships to self-loathing to how futile life is.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: "Fake Plastic Trees" was this for the band as a whole. The themes of decay, alienation, and pollution, the falsetto vocals, the [[TearJerker tearjerkiness]], and the accompanying SurrealMusicVideo would all become part of the band's SignatureStyle in the years to come.
* EverythingIsAnIpodInTheFuture: "Fake Plastic Trees" bemoans and laments this trope, implementing it into a relationship with a "fake girl".
* GriefSong: "Street Spirit (Fade Out)", which Thom claims is about "staring the fucking devil right in the eyes, and knowing, no matter what the hell you do, he'll get the last laugh."
* MoodWhiplash: Occurs within "My Iron Lung" between the quietly grim verses and distorted choruses.
* ObligatoryBondageSong: A case could be made for the first verse of "Sulk".
* PissTakeRap: "The Bends" has a post-chorus section that has Thom doing a bit of this. [[SpringtimeForHitler It was intended as a joke,]] [[GoneHorriblyRight but it was written too well for anyone to notice.]]

'''''The Bends''''' is the second album released by English AlternativeRock band Music/{{Radiohead}}, at a time where the band needed it most. Their debut effort, ''Pablo Honey'' (1993), was met with a general shrug by the masses, considering its grungy sound was awfully akin to that of Music/{{Nirvana}}, and no one really found the tracklist memorable save for "Creep", the band's first hit. This new album saw a change in direction for the band, introducing more layered sounds and more fleshed-out, cryptic lyrics.
