* LivesInAVan: It's heavily implied in one cutaway gag that the band is living in a van they rented for the purposes of trying to live a more humble existence.
* OddNameOut: While most of the original Thudnerhorse has knockoff names of the original Dethklok members such as Norman Blowup and Pockles the Drummer, they didn't change Skwisgaar's due to how it's kind of hard to make his name more ridiculous [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign than it already is]]
* PaperThinDisguise: The only difference between Dethklok and Thunderhorse is that Toki and Skwisgaar change band positions and even dress like each other (although in fairness it's implied that they also sound different as a result ,but still how did no one noticed the other three?)
