* StupidStatementDanceMix: a very early example, and a possible UrExample. At the end of "Children's Story", a chopped up loop of Rick saying "Knock 'em out the Box, Rick. Knock 'em out, Rick" plays until the end of the song.

*EmasculatedCuckold: Oh Lord, where do we start?
** This is the central trope used in "Treat Her Like a Prostitute". Highlights include:
*** The first guy celebrating his the upcoming birth of his first child with his fiance, only find out that his girlfriend had sex with one of his friends while he was at work. To make this worse, his "friend" drunkenly told him to his face that she initiated it. ''Damn''. Needless to say, the guy was feeling pretty crushed afterwards.
*** The second guy being a traditional example of getting cuckolded: He comes home to witness his wife [[CheatingWithTheMilkman getting nailed by the mailman]]. Capped off by this gem of a line:
--->''Cover your mouth because you almost choked''\\
''You see the mailman's'' dick ''way up your wife's throat!''
*** The third verse has a guy getting it on with his wife - who typically doesn't like having sex. Not only does she call her lover by the wrong name ("She says 'I love you, Harold', and your name is Will!"), it turns out she still has a condom inside her from an encounter she had with someone else. [[spoiler: Turns out it belonged to Rick himself.]]
** In "The Moment I Feared", Rick unwittingly gets seduced by his best friend's girlfriend. The boyfriend catches them and reacts about [[UnstoppableRage as well as you'd expect]], [[spoiler: only to get shot for his troubles.]]
---> ''She tried to use me, and seduce me''\\
''And at first I wasn't with it''\\
''Then we did it, and we did it, and we did it, and we did it''\\
''She said it was great, she said she was glad we had done it''\\
''The elevator came, [[OhCrap and Danny boy was on it!]]''

Cuckold is now on Definition Only Pages; examples in bulleted lists aren't allowed. Examples that focus on the original husband's feelings can go in Emasculated Cuckold.

No longer a trope.


* YourCheatingHeart: Makes up most of the subject matter for "Teenage Love" and "Treat Her Like A Prostitute". "The Moment I Feared" also has a section that deals with this trope.

* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Hey Young World" is a sincere, low-key song about teaching kids to stay on the right path and respecting themselves and others. Given that the album opened with "Treat Her Like A Prostitute", it can definitely come across as a surprise.
