The Terror Maxi is the first EP by French Alternative Hip Hop Stupeflip. It was released the same year as the band's third album The Hypnoflip Invasion.

The first side of this EP features "Maxi" arrangements of "Stupeflip Vite !!!" and "Gem Lé Moch". It was exclusively sold on Stupeflip's website and as a part of a boxset for those who preordered The Hypnoflip Invasion. It couldn't be found on streaming platforms until the official YouTube account of the band uploaded it entirely. It is the only Stupeflip release to not feature Crou member MC Salò.

This EP contains examples of:

  • Album Intro Track: Each side of the EP has its intro track.
  • Album Title Drop: On the second and third interlude track.
  • Badass Boast: King Ju is ready to make sick music with his Tweedee pencil on the lyrics of "Le Crayon Titi".
  • Continuity Nod: "Intro" features bits of the introductory track from Stupeflip (Self-Titled Album).
  • Dedication: "Cold World" is dedicated to a friend of King Ju named Pascale.
  • Instrumentals: The first interlude track and the second intro track.
  • Limited Lyrics Song: "Cold World":
    It's a cold world
    I close my eyes in the morning light
  • Longest Song Goes Last: Sort of subverted. The last track of the EP ("Le Crayon Titi") isn't the longest, but each side ends with its longest track.
  • Lyrical Cold Open: On "Psycho Girl".
  • Misogyny Song: "Gem Lé Moch" talks about how ugly women are easy to pick and hard to steal.
  • Mythology Gag: A sample of "Présentation du Crou" can be heard on the first intro track.
  • One-Woman Song: "Psycho Girl".
  • Product Placement: "Le Crayon Titi" is about a pencil branded after Tweedee the bird, but also references the Alsa Flan brand.
  • Rearrange the Song
    • The first side of the EP features rearranged "Maxi" versions of two songs which already appeared on The Hypnoflip Invasion". The second side has "Le Crayon Titi" whose lyrics already appeared on The Hypnoflip Invasion'''s "Région Est", although some lyrics are slightly changed.
    • "Psycho Girl" was rearranged in French under the title "Fille Psychotique". That track, however, remaines unreleased by the band.
  • Shout-Out: See the dedicated page.
  • Singer Name Drop: On "Le Crayon Titi":
    And Stupeflip ? Where was Stupeflip ?
    Stupeflip was far! Very far!
  • Take That!:
    • The chorus of "Stupeflip Vite !!!" mentions that the FNAC stores are where copies of Stupeflip albums get burned (this is a reference to the time where the band sued their label for not promoting their second album Stup Religion).
    • The third interlude track has a shout-out to "all the lil assholes who spat on Michael Jack'"
  • Title Drop: On the third interlude track.
  • Yandere: The title-character of "Psycho Girl".
  • Xtreme Kool Letterz: "Gem Lé Moch" is the badly written version of "J'aime les moches" note .
