YMMV / Butthole Surfers

• Awesome Music: "Who Was In My Room Last Night?" has some pretty damn good guitar riffs, to the point where it was even in Guitar Hero II.
• Creepy Cute: The worm on the Independent Worm Saloon cover art. Just look at it◊!
• Hilarious in Hindsight: "Kuntz" off of Locust Abortion Technician takes a Thai folk song and edits it to make it sound dirty. Kind of sounds like an 80's version of a YouTube Poop, doesn't it?
• Funny Moments: Gibby Haynes' appearance in the documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston, where he talks about how Johnston underwent a Creator Breakdown after taking acid at an Butthole Surfers show, was done while Gibby was at the dentist getting a root canal. No explanation is given as to why, but it's absolutely one of the funniest parts in the movie because Gibby is absolutely the kind of person to do an interview while also getting a cavity filled.
  • The beginning of "Sweat Loaf": using his patented Gibbytronix, Gibby plays a father talking to his son about regret. The moral of the story? "If you see your mother this weekend, tell her...SATAN!", followed by a demented take on the riff from "Sweet Leaf".
• Nightmare Fuel: So much that it now has its own page.
• Sampled Up: The Navajo speaking at the end of "Strawberry" would wind up being sampled for, of all things, Spirit's dialogue in the G.I. Joe PSAs.
• Signature Song: While "Pepper" was their biggest hit, "Who Was In My Room Last Night?" is a better contender. It's catchy while still retaining their Signature Style, it has an Epic Riff to boot, and it was a pretty sizable hit due to its Animated Music Video being shown on Beavis And Butthead and its inclusion in Guitar Hero II. Right now on Spotify it's their second most popular song, only beaten out by the aforementioned "Pepper".
• Suspiciously Similar Song: Invoked with "Pepper." The rap-spoken verses and backmasked chorus are a style parody of Beck's "Loser", which the band believed was a rip off of their style, so this was their way of "getting back" at him.
  • On the other hand, in at least one interview they went the Denied Parody route instead, claiming that "Pepper" was initially inspired by Trip Hop, and they were surprised when people started comparing it to Beck instead.
