* PokingDeadThingsWithAStick: Their song "The Day When We Found That Body" is about a romantic date ruined by the discovery of a dead body:
-->Our love is so much better than that dead body.\\
I hate to think our relationship hung by a thread of whether we saw a body or not.\\
Hey, look, I kept a memento,\\
It's the stick we poked it with.

* NoodleImplements: Tripod have a song explaining what happens when Mummy and Daddy love each other very much... basically Daddy installs a special sling from the ceiling, Mummy wears a pig mask and Daddy wears scuba gear, then they put on their favourite ''Series/HRPufnstuf'' video and it's apparently on for young and old. Who knew?

* NoseTapping: During the song "Justin", when they're trying to sing about Jesus without using either the name Jesus or any other word that could be connected to Christianity. Everytime they try to cover up something, Gatesy does this. Subverted when, near the end of the song, Scod complains that Gatesy is making fun of his huge nose, which Gatesy admits to.

* LyricalDissonance:
** "The Hot Dog Man is packing up..." Lampshaded in that as Tripod sing the song, in-character Gatesy is as unaware of the upcoming lyrical dissonance as the rest of us are, and reacts with increasing horror as the song turns sinister. And ''boy'', does it turn sinister.
** Also occurred in the song "Congo", which starts off as a serious song about the pointlessness of war, and while the lyrics stay depressing, Gatesy and Yon eventually turn it into an upbeat cheerful song, complete with cheerful dancing.
