Cobra Starship/YMMV
- Alternate Character Interpretation: Ear Worm-ridden dance band, or scathing Deconstruction of celebrity culture? You decide.
- Crazy Awesome: The band was allegedly formed after Gabe saw a time-traveling intergalactic cobra in the desert while on peyote, and received a message that the apocalypse was coming and his job was to help humanity go out in style. From there, it only gets crazier.
- Crowning Moment of Funny: The home video for Guilty Pleasure.
- It gets better when you read the video description:
'So Decaydance / FBR gave us $650,000 to make our new video, but we blew it all on a sports car, so we had to make a home video for 'Guilty Pleasure' on our own one Saturday afternoon. Enjoy!' |
- Also overlaps with Crowning Moment of Awesome: Everything they do.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: The band started off with one of the most recognizable songs of the decade, "Snakes On A Plane".
- Also, the afromentioned "Guilty Pleasure".
- Ear Worm
- Face of the Band: Gabe, who is just as much an attention whore as label boss Pete.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Gabe's former band, Midtown, whose last album in particular was incredibly emo. Compare to Cobra's material...
- Memetic Molester Gabe, who just can't seem to keep his hands to himself. Not that anyone complains.
- Painful Rhyme: Rhyming seven with seven in "Move Like You Gonna Die".
- Ruined FOREVER: Some fans called this after finding out they're the opening act for Justin Bieber in his upcoming tour of South America.
