YMMV / Bloodhound Gang

• Adorkable: Jimmy Pop. His childlike sensibilities, cute face and genuine charisma have earned him a lot of crushes from fans of the band, especially on the rare occasion that he puts a little effort into his appearance, such as in the "Unn Tiss Unn Tiss Unn Tiss" video.
• Americans Hate Tingle: Defaming both the Ukrainian and Russian flags on stage will do that to you.
• Covered Up: "Along Comes Mary" was originally by The Association. True, while the original was a top ten hit back in it's day it also came out back in 1966. The Bloodhound Gang version came out more than thirty years later and introduced it to a whole new generation.
• Crosses the Line Twice
  • "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying" begins with "I was lonelier than Kunta Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert..." It not only goes downhill from there, but somehow manages to slide further and further with each passing line.
  • All of their puns. All of them.
    "Serious Levis? So tight, can't be classified, that's why I'm here to fill that opening."
• Epic Riff
  • The bass line to "The Bad Touch".
  • The bobbing guitar licks in "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" are way catchier than they have any right to be.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff
  • They're very popular in Germany and other European countries thanks to the euro dance influence of some of their later songs, many of which were remixed by respected euro dance DJs. The chart performance of "The Bad Touch" perfectly demonstrates their popularity in Europe. While the song fizzled out at #52 in America it became a massive hit all across Europe. Reaching number one in multiple European countries and cracking the top ten in several others.
  • For similar reasons, they're also very popular in the Netherlands and Scandinavia. Jimmy Pop infamously crashed a Vengaboys concert in 1999, footage of which appeared in their video for "Forever As One," and would occasionally cover "Boom Boom Boom Boom" while touring the Netherlands.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: "The Ballad of Chasey Lain"'s framing device of a series of increasingly desperate, unhinged letters from a Loony Fan would be used much more famously and much more seriously later the same year by Eminem on the song "Stan".
• Memetic Mutation: "Aww, shit! Here comes Pac-Man!" from the Hooray for Boobies cut "Mope". No doubt aided by the famously strange web animation using that moment.
• Refrain from Assuming: "The Bad Touch" ("the Discovery Channel song") and "Fire Water Burn" ("The Roof Is On Fire", which ironically is the title of the Sampled Up example below).
• Sampled Up: The Pet Shop Boys B-side they used for "The Bad Touch", and "Fire Water Burn" incorporates the chorus of "The Roof Is on Fire" by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three. "The Ballad of Chasey Lane" is based in part on a Depeche Mode B-side.
• Signature Song: "The Bad Touch" and "Fire Water Burn"; the former arguably more-so.
• Squick
  • As if the many poop jokes on Hefty Fine weren't enough, "Diarrhea Runs in the Family" consists solely of a band member's bowel movement.
  • Oh, and let's not forget the uncensored version of "The Bad Touch", which, instead of concluding with the mime getting roadkilled, concludes with the band members spraying around and eating fake turd.
  • Some live performances of "Screwing You on the Beach at Night" are accompanied by a video on the back wall featuring a naked guy getting kneed repeatedly in the genitals. Why? Who knows.
