Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In the original edit of the "Girls & Boys" video, a short segment took place after the first line of the second verse during which the band was leaning against a fence and an old woman dressed like Avril Lavigne walked up, which led to them parodying the opening of her "Complicated" video.
Prosecutor: Isn't it true that the accused TREATED YOU LIKE A DOG?! [The camera cuts to show a dog is being questioned as a witness]
Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The band were extremely popular in Australia, even more so than in America. The Madden Brothers have made numerous appearances on Australian television programs, and Joel Madden eventually bought a second residence in Sydney.
Growing the Beard: Cardiology - especially after the lackluster Good Morning Revival - would qualify, with critics remarking that the album retains the sound of the first two albums whilst blending it with the 10 years of life experience since then.
"Thank You, Mom" - the bonus track to their self-titled debut album, and a tribute to Joel and Benji's single mother.
"Harlow's Song (Can't Dream Without You)" - A tribute to Joel's daughter.
"Los Angeles Worldwide" - a Sequel Song to "Waldorf Worldwide" with lyrics reflecting upon the band's success.
I got my girl, I got my daughter - that's a hell of a lot
Nightmare Fuel: "My Bloody Valentine" in which the lyrics describe stalking and murdering the boyfriend of a girl that the protagonist is in love with.
Sequel Displacement: In the UK, The Young and The Hopeless is treated as their first album by everyone except their fans & occasionally, magazines that cover rock music. Somewhat justified, as their self-titled album was released at the same time & the music videos have never played on UK television.
Signature Song: "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", "The Anthem" and "Girls & Boys".
