* DeadHorseGenre: Given that this is a game about Metal, there's sure to be plenty of ribbing of unpopular music styles - such as the Hair Metal-themed villain group.
** Subverted because this is a game set in a world without critics to badmouth any specific genre. Any Metal in this game, that is not said to be awful in game, [[WordOfGod is an affectionate nod to its genre]]. Rob Halford even said, "[Lionwhyte] is a cross-section of everything I know and love in Heavy Metal music.".

The game is noteworthy in being inspired by, and providing a ludicrous amounts of {{Special Guest}}s, {{Shout Out}}s, and references to just about everything ''[[TestosteronePoisoning metal.]]'' All the areas of the game are basically [[TheEighties 1980s]] metal album covers, even. It provided yet another cult hit for DoubleFine in their long history of cult hits, but received mixed reviews after it's DevelopmentHell ended. It has a very dedicated and vocal fanbase.

* WeirdMoon: In the very beginning, Eddie comments on the cool eclipse. Some theories state that it was the Earth he left behind, because of it's color. Later on, in Drowning Doom territory (and during Encompassing Gloom in multiplayer), the moon is [[BadMoonRising shaped like a skull.]]

I\'ve only heard the DOTT reference once in all my time playing this game, but it definitely happened. Can\'t remember if it was a Roadie or Headbanger, though. If anyone could confirm this for me, it would be much appreciated.

* ShoutOut: Besides the many, ''many'' shout outs to heavy metal bands and songs, occasionally Eddie will shout, "[[{{Pokemon}} Super effective!]]" while attacking, and after playing the Call of the Wild, solo, he'll scream, "''CallOfTheWild'' was my favorite book!"
** Previous Schafer game DayOfTheTentacle gets a shout out in a rare response to Eddie's orders: "I'm on ya, lasagna!" Something Hoagie (a roadie, as it happens) would say to BenjaminFranklin.
* ShutUpHannibal: While listening to Doviculus monologue about [[spoiler:Succoria]] and how much humans suck, Lars gets fed up and delivers one of these.

* ThirtyMinutesOrItsFree: In one side quest you have two minutes to deliver kegs of beer to a party on the beach while they're still cold. This task is made more difficult by the fact that if you bump your car around too much the kegs will rupture, resulting in automatic failure.

** The "Ironheade Sneak Attack" missions in which you and a small group of allies must eradicate a passing enemy patrol.
** The "Riding the Death Rack" missions in which you must use the Deuce's weapons to defend a stationary point against waves of enemies.
** The "Summon Fiery Death" missions where you have to direct mortar fire against incoming enemies.
** Racing missions where you must beat Fletus to the finish line.
** Missions given to you by the Hunter where you have to kill a certain number of wandering creatures.

Added DiffLines:

* TorturedAbomination: The summonable but uncontrollable Tainted Coil unit named "Bleeding Death" may be this: it is a perversion of nature (not to mention the single strongest non-Hero Unit in the game), which is slowly dying, so its attacks are merely expressions of its agony.
