** Not such much. The "for Cash" in the title was actually due to the fact that Richard had met with all those people he remixed in person to get his pay in cash, so nobody would know his bank details or figure out where he leaved.

* The ending of "Milkman", which has Richard's voice progressively getting pitch-bended more and more. The result is pretty damn funny.

to:

* The bulk of "Milkman" is a mostly odd, yet strangely cheerful song for Richard, complete with [[StepUpToTheMicrophone him gently singing]] "I wish the milkman would deliver my milk in the morning / I wish the milkman would deliver my milk when I'm yawning." That is, [[MoodWhiplash until he reaches]] [[spoiler:[[LyricalDissonance "I would like some milk from the milkman's wife's tits..."]]]], where then it abruptly becomes hysterical.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqega6a2g6A Aphex Twin buys beer]]. Sadly, it isn't actually Richard, but the person in the video looks so similar to him that we might as well call him "Richard". With "Funny Little Man" playing as BGM, the video consists of surveillance footage taken in 2009 of "Richard" drunkenly sauntering through a vacant store, only to find massive amounts of trouble keeping his center of gravity and staying on his two feet. Eventually, "Richard" falls down and can't muster the stamina to get up, and eventually people discover him. The video ends with him stumbling towards the exit in a zombie-like manner, only to tumble backwards at the last second.
