  • Alternative Character Interpretation: The final non-chorus lyric of "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Ha!" ("And when they do, they'll put you in The A.S.P.C.A., you mangy mutt!") is supposed to be taken literally as the song's punch line. However, it's not uncommon for it to be interpreted as still referring to a person in a mocking tone.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Again, "Goofin' On the Job." "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Ha!" is pretty creepy if taken at face value.
  • Sequelitis: "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" had two sequels: "They're Coming To Get Me Again, Ha-Haaa!" and "I'm Glad That They Took You Away, Ha-Haa!", the latter of which was from the perspective of the woman. Most would agree that the titles were funnier than the songs themselves.
  • Signature Song: "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!"
  • Tear Jerker: "Goofin' On the Job." It focuses on an office worker who just broke up with a woman he was in a relationship, with him switching between being glad she's gone and depressed about it, all focusing on the photo of her he has in his cubicle. At the end, it turns out the photo is actually the window, which he accidently falls out off.
