He was known for his sense of humour.

  • The lyrics to songs like "Legalize It", "Bush Doctor", "Stand Firm", "Buk-In-Hamm Palace" and "Reggaemylitis" for example.
  • The courtroom scenes in "Here Comes The Judge" and "Cold Blood".
  • This quote from a 1983 interview (when asked about Captured Live's poor distribution), in which he gives his opinion on the current music industry, and possibly sets the record for most use of 'bombaclaat' in a single quote:
"When I ask EMI why the live album is not available, they told me they released 40,000 and it sold off in one day, seen? And no more was put out from that time. These are the things I bombaclaat talk about and when I get so fucking upset I don't bother talk English bombaclaat grammar any more 'cause them things get me very bombaclaat upset, seen? And all because I am not singing 'darling I bloodclaat love you and come shake my Rass and I'll come swim the ocean and climb the mountain', seen? And that's not going to change me, seen? Because I am going to kill the fuckery out there and people are going to demand the truth. People are sick and tired of hearing bombaclaat 'get down, shake your fucking booty' and 'darling i bloodclaat love you', seen? You turn on the radio 24 hours a day and all you hear is 'darling I love you'. A man wouldn't sing to the Almighty; he'd rather sing to a woman than the Creator who create the sun, the moon, and the bombaclaat stars. I'm sick and tired of hearing that bombaclaat, seen?"
  • His quotes about Chris Blackwell, which mostly centered around how he didn't think he was either black or well.
