Ween/YMMV

"Ernest Hemingway would always be there for me But now Ernest Hemingway is dead"
 * Acceptable Lifestyle Targets: Hippies in the early song "Hippie Smell". Interesting in retrospect because 1) their live performances eventually started to make them somewhat popular with fans of jam bands, and 2) they also have "So Long Jerry", a completely sincere tribute to Jerry Garcia.
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Can all of their music be this?
 * However, Transdermal Celebration, as well as some other songs they came out with as they grew the beard, don't really count.
 * Some albums, like The Pod, are so full of noise and weird that when a nice, pleasant, normal song comes along, it comes across as a BLAM.
 * The song "Don't Laugh (I Love You)" is, for the most part, a silly love song with slightly unconventional lyrics. And then there's this completely inexplicable bridge:


 * Big Name Fan: Henry Rollins has expressed a fondness for the band and Aphex Twin said that, despite hating rock music, he enjoys Ween, citing Pure Guava as his favorite album by them.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: So, so many.
 * The At the Cat's Cradle DVD performance of "The Going Gets Tough from the Getgo" has a couple. For one, there's Gener's priceless facial expressions after flubbing the lyrics by trying to begin the verse instead of repeating the chorus, a mistake he makes several times in a row. More amusingly, though, there's Dean Ween's ad-libbed line that comes completely out of left field: "Stick it between my titties, Gener, and make me cum!"
 * Epic Riff: Several.
 * Growing the Beard: Whether you prefer their early "brown" albums, Chocolate and Cheese and beyond, or all of it, their early independent albums they recorded as teens are universally regarded as worse than their major label releases.
 * Older Than They Think: The vocals in "Push th' Little Daisies" - especially during the last verse - are sometimes described as an Eric Cartman impression despite the song being recorded years before the first episode of South Park aired.

 * True Art Is Offensive: In addition to their usual harsh language, "Pumpin' 4 the Man" uses the homophobic slur, "faggot." "Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down)" is sung from the perspective of a toddler (complete with high pitched baby voice) getting diagnosed with the fatal disease. "The HIV Song" is also a rather uplifting song given the subject matter (though it doesn't make fun of people diagnosed with it or anything; the only lyrics are "AIDS" and "HIV"), among other examples.
