YMMV / Anal Cunt

Go To


  • Crosses the Line Twice: Everything. Their own name especially. Though special mention goes to "Your Kid Committed Suicide Because You Suck", which was originally titled "Connor Clapton Committed Suicide Because His Father Sucks."
  • Growing the Beard: Over time, the band cast off its loose, improvised nature in favor of straightforward composition — this is considered a net gain by most.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • After Putnam infamously went into a coma, he would later state that based on his own experience, he believed that "You're in a Coma" was spot-on. In his own words, it was 'just as gay as the song I wrote nine years ago'.
    • There was also his dispute with Chris Barnes, which resulted in Barnes turning his roadies on Putnam and running off, and which inspired "Chris Barnes Is a Pussy". Guess what band's Facebook page got spammed with links to that song when Barnes sucker-punched Travis Ryan roughly fourteen years later?
    • McDonald's would eventually start offering vegan burgers. Maybe Dropdead wouldn't be too upset at being locked in now.
  • Just Herefor Godzilla: If not Seth's buffoonery, the outrageous song titles themselves end up being the main draw for many fans (and even non-fans).
  • Misaimed Fandom: A portion of their fanbase is completely unaware that it was all a joke or simply couldn't care less.
  • Narm Charm: Part of their appeal to metalheads.
  • Older Than They Think: Many believe that Anal Cunt took their name from a GG Allin song... which was recorded five years after they formed. In fact, Allin may have named the song after them - at any rate, he was familiar with the band at some point, as he once proposed they become his backing band.
  • So Bad, It's Good: The entirety of Howard Is Bald revolves around the band members incoherently wailing drunken lyrics about Howard Wulkan's baldness - which ends up being exactly what makes it so entertaining.
    • Much of their earlier output — Everyone Should Be Killed, Morbid Florist, etc. — was intentionally So Bad, It's Good. It was more or less a mockery of Grindcore, stripping it down to just wordless screams and noise.
    • Picnic of Love is this, very deliberately.
    • Let's just go ahead and say their entire discography. This was, after all, the entire goal.
