** This is MF DOOM[[note]]Comedic edits which take the instrumental of the first verse of "One Beer" and set it over footage of people [[RhymesOnADime making a string of impromptu rhymes]] to poke fun at DOOM's rhyming style, with the above Spotify playlist title superimposed over the original footage.[[/note]]

* RefrainFromAssuming: "Hoe Cakes" from ''MM..FOOD'' is not titled "Super" or "Supa".]

** One notable example is "Viktor Vaughn" on "Fancy Clown" off ''Madvillainy'' - the song becomes a lot funnier when you know that it is DOOM in his Viktor Vaughn persona [[TalkingToHimself rapping to himself]] on the track, but many first-time listeners may not be aware, as ''Madvillainy'' was one of his breakthrough works.

** Doritos, Cheetos, or Fritos.[[note]]A memorable lyric from "Accordian" that has become frequently quoted in memes by fans, often depicting them as his [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Trademark Favorite Foods]] or joking that he rapped exclusively about them.[[/note]

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: ''The Mouse And The Mask'' is firmly dated to the early to mid 2000's era of Creator/AdultSwim, with every show featured on the album (such as ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'', and ''WesternAnimation/Sealab2021'') having ended within a decade of the album's release. The track "El Chupa Nibre" is further dated with its allusions to ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', both shows that Adult Swim later lost the rerun rights to. [[note]]''Futurama'' eventually returned to [as] in December 2021[[/note]]

* SignatureSong: The primary candidates for this are either "Doomsday", "Rapp Snitch Knishes" (for his solo work), "Accordion", or "All Caps" (for his work in Madvillain)

* ContinuityLockout: While it isn't super-hard to get caught up, some aspects of DOOM's work rely on the listener knowing a bit about his backstory and other work, and the fact that he does not always release his work under the MF DOOM/DOOM moniker.

* [[ActuallyADoombot Actually an MF Doombot]]: True to his inspiration, Doom has in fact sent impersonators to perform as "MF Doom" at his shows. This has not only angered many fans, but it has proven problematic when other artists such as Mos Def have pulled out of tours with him for fear that Doom might pull this trope.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL5cun2kQ6M video]] for "Dead Bent" has DOOM going fruit shopping and trying to leave his apartment twice, but is awesome thanks to the song.

* MagnumOpus: ''Madvillainy''.
