* GrowingTheBeard: While Al was already decently regarded, reviewers and analysts both then and now cited ''Even Worse'' as a turning point for him. In particular, this was his first album where the original songs were widely seen as rivaling the song parodies in quality instead of being viewed as AlbumFiller (barring the TitleTrack of ''Music/DareToBeStupid'', which is just as popular as Al's pre-''Even Worse'' parodies).

* WinBackTheCrowd: Thanks in large part to him returning to the Music/MichaelJackson material for his lead single that many people associated with him, ''Even Worse'' was seen as a successful return to form after the critical and commercial failure of ''Music/PolkaParty''. This would be the first of many times that people would say "Weird Al is back!" before it became nearly an every-album occurrence.

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: In the song "Fat", Yankovic claims that when he goes to the beach, he's "the only one who gets a tan." Some have taken it as meaning that he blocks the sun for everyone else, while others assumed that he was the only one on the beach because he took up all the space. Either way, it works well for a song that is an extra-long fat joke.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: In "Good Old Days", the narrator reminisces how he bashed in a grocery store owner's head...and then says, "You should have seen the look on his face."
* HarsherInHindsight: "Fat", after learning about how fast food restaurants target and exploit low-income neighborhoods with their cheap but unhealthy food.
