* HilariousInHindsight: The combination of the album cover's clown motif, the lyrics' themes of sociopolitical protest, and the sarcastic mention of "learning to be a part of society" in "Scream Like a Baby" are somewhat more amusing to look back on in the wake of the [[YMMV/TheJoker "Gamer Joker" meme]] and the general content and themes in ''Film/Joker2019''.

* CoveredUp: Bowie's version of "Kingdom Come" is much better-known than the original rendition by Tom Verlaine, if only because Verlaine's solo career never took off to the same extent as his stint with Music/{{Television}}.

* EvenBetterSequel: Often considered this compared to ''Music/{{Lodger}}''; while the latter is already considered a fantastic album in Bowie's repertoire, ''Scary Monsters'' is generally thought to more adeptly blend together Bowie's artistry with commercial accessibility, and is often considered the culmination of the Berlin Trilogy's work.
