** The original was in fact, ''so'' mind-blowingly depressing, that he came out with a remix about how awesome life is in general. To demonstrate the 180 in tone, here's Knox's opening on ''it''

{{quote| "Beach-front architect, my castle was a towering estate/Now I'm just working on improvements for my follow up take/Forget those ocean-sized dreams and admire the scene/Ain't nothin' better than a waterfront with hours to waste..."}}

* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]- Kraven The Hunter in the Sinister Six megatrack. His opening line even makes reference to [[The Most Dangerous Game|The Trope Naming Book]]...

{{quote| "Life is a game, and I hunt the deadliest kind/With a face, a family, and a name..."}}

* [[Monster Mash]]- In "Zombie Girl", it's implied that the titular zombie girl hangs out with Dracula, The Wolfman and Frankenstein's Monster.

* [[Nerd Core]]

** His verse in ''Fuck The Doppelgangers'' is a dis song to Charles Knox, to blow off steam while recording the Doppelgangers album. Knox reciprocates.

* [[Then I Shall Be Evil]]: Happens "Sad Ultron"- due to a combination of malfunctions, his predecessor's reputation, and human intelligence, the titular robot turns evil after being shunned and hated by everyone he meets.
