1* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfQUuYY87fA I'm The Man]]" is plainly full of [=CMoF=].
2-->Now we're Anthrax and we take no shit
3-->And we don't care for writing hits
4-->The sound you hear is what we like
5-->I'll steal your pop-tarts like I stole your...
6-->Socks!
7-->No man, what's the matter with you?
8-->I'll get it the next time, I mean it...
9* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oyY6ibGI4M&t=3m26s The end of Gung-Ho]]. After a wild, mad-tempo speed metal song, the band is just goofing around into the mic like maniacs.
10* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poTA34hKbZw Startin' Up a Posse]] is an already awesome TakeThat aimed at the PMRC. The whimsical delivery just nails it.
11-->Now you might take offense
12-->To a word like "fuck" or "shit" (dick!)
13-->But you fuckin' don't have the right (cunt!)
14-->To discriminate me for saying it!
15-->You fuckin' whores (you fuckin' whores!)
16-->That's all you are
17-->(go suck a dick, eh?)
18* "Milk (Ode to Billy)" is a thrash metal song about really wanting some milk. It's a reference to [[Music/StormtroopersOfDeath S.O.D.]] vocalist Billy Milano.
19-->I can't go, out to the store
20-->I'll just wait 'till Mommy buys more
21-->I'll just have, wheat thins and beer
22-->If I get sick the toilet is near
23* N.F.B. (Dallabnikufesin)[[note]][[SdrawkcabName nisefuckinballad]][[/note]] is a perfect parody of the cheesy 80's PowerBallad.
24-->You left me standing in the mud
25-->Crying to myself
26-->A heart so full of pain
27-->But we fell in love again
28-->This time forever
29-->True love prevails over all
30-->...
31-->[[WhamLine She got hit by a truck]]...
32-->[Cue InelegantBlubbering]
33-->(Joey, Joey, get me some tissue)
34* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1IeeJ3fGWc Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun]]" is a Music/BeastieBoys cover from the ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead Experience'' that starts out with a skit where the titular duo hang out with the band, eventually pissing them off and getting kicked off the bus after Beavis runs off into the bathroom with the band's porn.
35* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ofUF7lQDeM Bud E. Luv Bomb And Satan's Lounge Band]]" is about a lounge singer backed by a thrash band. "Joey was Bud E. Luvbomb; the rest of us were his lounge band," as Scott explains. This is 13 years before Music/RichardCheese debuted.
36* The video to "[[https://youtu.be/vcseSPDpslg Monster at the End]]", with a few dashes of NightmareFuel in between.
37* Scott Ian telling Marc Maron about opening for Ozzy for a leg of shows he did, then leaving but no announcement going out that Anthrax wasn't opening any more. A few nights later, Anthrax fans were horrified to find that the new opening band was Winger. It didn't go well for them.
38* One time during a gig the security thought it would be a good idea to tackle their singer, mistaking him for a LoonyFan. Cue Scott Ian saying "nice going, suppose you didn't see him on stage the last 90 minutes."
39* After 9/11, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_anthrax_attacks several people received actual anthrax spores in the mail]], the band purchased the antibiotic drug Cipro to "avoid dying an ironic death."
40** Speaking of which, there's also the 2002 April Fools joke where they said they would change the band's name to "Basket Full of Puppies" in response.
