Anal Cunt is a [[Stealth Parody]]. You need to know this before you take a look at some of the band's song titles and get all offended.
 
Line 5 ⟶ 6:
 
The band folded, however, in June of 2011, when Putnam suffered a heart attack and died. He was 43.
----
=== Tropes that apply to Anal Cunt include: ===
 
{{creatortropes}}
* [[Acceptable Targets]] - [[In-Universe|They railed on]] everyone and everything, including [[Self-Deprecation|themselves]].
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Fairly common:
{{quote| (fill in the blank) is dumb<br />
(fill in the blank) is gay<br />
(fill in the blank)'s a cunt<br />
And Tom Pascual is short }}
* [[Ass Shove]] - The lyrics to "Pottery is Gay" features '''"YOU MADE A CLAY DILDO AND SHOVED IT UP YOUR ASSSSSSS"'''
Line 19:
** On multiple recordings, the name is abbreviated to A. C. or AxCx, with the letters drawn to resemble the orifices.
** When they were forced to censor the lyrics to some songs on "It Just Gets Worse," they covered them up with the tag {{smallcaps|anal cunt--FUCKING offensive}}.
* [[Careful Withwith That Axe]]
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: The assumed persona on "It Just Gets Worse".
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: The speaker of "I Sent Concentration Camp Footage To [[AmericasAmerica's Funniest Home Videos]];" after his submissions get rejected, he mails the show a copy of "[[Birth of a Nation]]."
* [[Credits Gag]]: On ''I Like It When You Die,'' they did this to a couple of the songs they covered. The original writers for the Hungry Hungry Hippos jingle and "Just the Two of Us" are credited as "Some asshole" and "Some fucking retard," respectively.
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]] - Literally in at least two cases, one being "I Lit Your Baby on Fire".
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]] - "Extreme Noise Terror is Afraid of Us" has this line:
{{quote| You’re gay homosexual faggots, plus you’re fucking gay}}
* [[Development Hell]] - ''Fuckin' A'' and ''Wearing Out Our Welcome'' barely got out of it, taking more than six years to make. ''The Same Old Shit.'' never got finished.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: "Connor Clapton Committed Suicide Because [[Eric Clapton|His Father]] Sucks"
* [[Fan Hater]] - Invoked in "All Our Fans Are Gay".
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]:
{{quote| PARENTAL ADVISORY: AC LYRICS}}
* [[Genre Adultery]] - ''Picnic of Love'' and, to a lesser extent, ''Fuckin' A.''
* [[Genre Savvy]]/[[Self-Deprecation]]: Near the end of "I Like It When You Die" is the song "You (Fill In The Blank)", which was about how formulaic the songwriting had gotten.
Line 38:
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] - [[In-Universe|Based on his own experience]], Putnam believed that "You're In A Coma" was spot-on.
* [[Indecipherable Lyrics]]: Putnam, full stop. For example, the first verse on "I Ate Your Horse" is either "Your dad took out a second mortgage to buy you a horse" or "Yaragabawagabwaryagh."
* [[Infant Immortality]] - Devastatingly subverted with [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|"I Lit Your Baby on Fire"]].
* [[Intentionally Awkward Title]] - The band's name, as well as most of their songs.
* [[In the Style Of]]: For a while, they would turn everything from The Guess Who's "American Woman" to the theme song to ''[[ThreesThree's Company]]'' into grindcore, and there's also the self-explanatory "Stayin' Alive (Oi Version)".
* [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks]] - This tendency (that has never really afflicted the band) was made fun of with the song "I'm Not Allowed to Like A.C. Any More Since They Signed to Earache".
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]] - Putnam, who wrote a song titled "You're In a Coma", had a near fatal drug overdose in 2004 that resulted in him falling into a coma for almost a month.
Line 51:
* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]]: This is the band that defined 11, barring Picnic Of Love (a textbook 1) and Fuckin' A (around 7 or so.)
* [[Motor Mouth]]: More often than not, the lyrics are incomprehensible because Putnam sang so damn fast.
* [[No Such Thing Asas Bad Publicity]]: Putnam mailed copies of "Morbid Florist" to people who wouldn't like it just to get unfavorable reviews.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Examples of song titles: "I Went Back in Time and Voted for Hitler"; "I Sent Concentration Camp Footage to [[Americas Funniest Home Videos|America's Funniest Home Videos]]"; "I Became a Counselor so I Could Tell Rape Victims They Asked for It"; "Conor Clapton Committed Suicide Because [[Eric Clapton|His Father]] Sucks" (changed for the record label's fear of being sued to "Your Kid Committed Suicide Because You Suck"), "You're In a Coma" (which became very ironic when Putnam fell into a coma in 2004 as a result of a drug overdose), and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|"Hitler was a Sensitive Man"]].
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]] - [[Sarcasm Mode|Gee, I wonder what possibly could be offensive about a band that calls itself "Anal Cunt".]]
* [[Running Gag]] - Two throughout "I Like It When You Die:" "(X) Is Gay" and "You (X)/You Are (X)" which culminated near the end of the album in "You (Fill In The Blank).
Line 59:
** "Hey, who complimented us by saying we're a bunch of Nazis?"
** And of course there's album titles like ''It Just Gets Worse'' and ''Wearing Out Our Welcome'' and the song "Everyone In Anal Cunt Is Dumb".
* [[Shout -Out]]: "Dictators Are Cool" alternates between praising actual dictators and praising the members of ''the band'' The Dictators:
{{quote| Mussolini got pissed on by his people<br />
Hitler had a Charlie Chaplin mustache<br />
Dick Manitoba grabbed my sister's tits<br />
Mark Mendoza was in [[Twisted Sister]] }}
* [[Stealth Parody]] - Of grindcore, black metal, and offensive lyrics in general.
Line 68:
* [[Stylistic Suck]] - It was all part of the [[Stealth Parody|joke]].
* [[Surprisingly Gentle Song|Surprisingly Gentle Album]] - ''Picnic of Love''. Knowing them, it's of course [[Played for Laughs]].
** ''Fuckin' A,'' a parody album [[In the Style Of]] [[Motley Crue (Music)|Motley Crue]]. It's still somewhat high on the [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]], but the very fact that every song has a recognizable riff makes it surprisingly gentle for them. It even has a power ballad (of sorts) in the form of "I Wish My Dealer Was Open".
** Outside of albums, there's also "I Just Saw The Gayest Guy On Earth".
** ''Howard Wulkan Is Bald'' is a [[Affectionate Parody|very lighthearted poke]] at a music executive they are friends with named [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Howard Wulkan]]. [[Captain Obvious|He's bald.]] There is vulgarity, but it is much more sparing than the other albums. Like ''Picnic Of Love'', a lot of the songs are covers, except with the lyrics changed to focus on Howard and how bald he is. Really, almost nobody could find it offensive. Howard didn't.
** It should be noted they were heavily drunk, or hung over, when they made it, and they knew it was a crappy album - they just put on random songs and replaced the lyrics. It also has a tribute to [[Wesley Willis]] in the last song.
* [[Take That]]
Line 84:
* [[Unplugged Version]]: parodied by their ''Unplugged'' EP: Side A is their songs played with undistorted (but still electric) guitar, Side B is a live performance where their current guitarist played an electric guitar that was ''literally'' unplugged, as in not plugged in.
* [[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste]]: They strove to be deliberately [[So Bad It's Good]].
* [[Three Chords and Thethe Truth]]
* [[Up to Eleven]] - As if ''AxCx'' wasn't enough, Putnam also set up ''another'' [[Stealth Parody]] act in the form of "acoustic black metal" band ''Impaled Northern Moonforest'', lampooning the ridiculously "[[Grimdark|grim]] and [[Grim Up North|frostbitten]]" lyrics of many a [[Black Metal]] band.
** This was also the premise of "It Just Gets Worse;" take "I Like It When You Die" and make it even ''more'' offensive. Four songs had to have their lyrics censored and one had to have its title changed.
