* ExecutiveMeddling:
** The video and single release of "Rhinestone Eyes" was pulled and replaced with "Doncamatic." This has led to a lot of people being concerned about how much trust Creator/{{EMI}} has in the project anymore. Jamie Hewlett claimed later that EMI didn't have the money to afford another video, since "Stylo" turned out to cost much more than they expected.
** These fears are being renewed now that EMI has pulled their funding for the rest of the ''Plastic Beach'' arc, resulting in a rushed ending.

* AcclaimedFlop: Phase 3 was an odd variation; ''Music/PlasticBeach'' was both a critical ''and'' a commercial success in that it was a chart-topper, but the phase's immense ambitions demanded equally immense budgets and resources that Gorillaz was unable to recoup. The "Stylo" music video was known for having gone way overbudget, while the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_to_Plastic_Beach_Tour "Escape to Plastic Beach" world tour]] barely broke even with each show, [[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/qa-damon-albarn-on-the-future-of-blur-his-first-ever-solo-album-and-why-he-doesnt-hate-oasis-anymore-248120/ with Damon Albarn recounting]] "It was incredible fun, I loved doing it, but economically it was an absolute fucking disaster." This is widely accepted as why EMI (which was already suffering huge financial problems leading up to its eventual collapse in 2012) [[CutShort pulled the plug on the whole thing before it could be fully resolved]], and why the band hasn't ventured into anything as high-scope and grandiose as the saga since.

* FanNickname: It's common to see the ship steward that tries to escort Noodle to safety at the start of the "On Melancholy Hill" video get referred to as "Lifebewtz Guy" or even just "Lifebewtz", for obvious reasons.

* TheDanza: You have to read 2D's lips, but when he sees the hitman chasing them in the "Stylo" video, he says "It's Bruce" to Murdoc. The hitman's played by Creator/BruceWillis. Considering his roles in action movies, it's possible he's playing AsHimself in the video.

* SoMyKidsCanWatch: The exact reason why Music/BobbyWomack came out of retirement to sing on "Stylo" (his daughter specifically nudged him to work with Damon Albarn). The song revitalized public interest in Womack, leading to his first album in 18 years.
