* UnconvincinglyUnpopularCharacter: Nerdy Al in the "White and Nerdy" music video, per the lyrics of the song itself, is obviously meant to be a LoserProtagonist who has some supremely lame interests and tastes and gets met with disgust or rejection whenever he tries to "roll with the gangsters." That said, Al in the video is clearly ''very'' happy with his life, with a successful job, interests that give him fulfillment, friend groups that he regularly hangs out with, and, rather impressively, an insane amount of confidence about himself to the point where getting mocked or rejected doesn't even deter him. Overall, being a nerd clearly brings him happiness.

Values Dissonance requires a 20 year waiting period (the album is currently only 17 years old), and this was determined to not be an example as per the Values cleanup thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15943768520A49909700&page=72#comment-1789


* ValuesDissonance: Parodying the lawsuit against McDonald's in the Liebeck v. McDonald's case? These days when the case is recounted it's more sympathetic to the 79 year old woman who needed skin grafts for third degree burns instead of the large corporation that had recieved complaints about their coffee temperature before.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is the "kinda burned" Eugene from "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" on [[TheStoner some sort of substance]] or just tired after a long day's work?

** Did the drive thru worker from "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" who took Al's order forget the onions by accident, or was it deliberate as payback for Al calling her "not too bright"? The fact the animated music video has her looking angry when he calls her that could point towards the latter.

20-year waiting period for Values Dissonance.


* ValuesDissonance: "You're Pitiful" is all about teasing a BasementDweller. Since the 2007-08 recession, the ever-increasing cost of living combined with low wages for entry-level jobs is making it nearly impossible for younger, single adults to afford housing, leaving them with little choice other than to stay with their parents for a while and many who were able to move out ended up having to return to their parents' house anyway after being wiped out by a recession.
