  • Ending Fatigue: The ending of the "I Won't Let You Down" music video, where the camera continues to fly up long after the song has ended, showing a pretty shot of the sky...alongside an eerie silence. You almost expect a Jump Scare to be there, which thankfully never happens.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Look into the YouTube comments on the music video for "End Love", and you'll notice many of them are remarking on the random goose that starts following the band around during the final minute of the song.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The video footage for "A Million Ways" has gained a certain measure of popularity on Nico Nico Douga as material for dancing fanvids. Here's an example.
  • Heartwarming Moments: Their cover of The Zombies' "This Will Be Our Year" is one, but it isn't the only CmoH in OK Go's discography.
  • Memetic Mutation: The famous "treadmill dance" video for "Here It Goes Again", which became one of the first viral videos on YouTube.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: Not that their music isn't worth listening to, but their insane music videos easily outshine the songs they're actually promoting.
  • Signature Song: "Here It Goes Again", overlapping with Signature Scene for the treadmill video.
    • Probably also "This Too Shall Pass."
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: "Get Over It" has been compared to "Love Stinks" by The J. Geils Band for its similar drum patter, chord progression and synthesizer part.
  • Tear Jerker: "Last Leaf", and the end of the "All Is Not Lost" video.
