Line 87:

** '''[[Snark Bait|"CRRRAAAWWWWWWLLLIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGG INNNNNNN MYYYYY SKIIIIIIIINNNNN"]]'''

** '''[[Madness Mantra|YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME, GO AWAY.]]'''

** And in the same light, [[Big No|"Faint"]] and [[Big "Shut Up!"|"One Step Closer"]].

** And in the same light, [[Big No|"Faint"]] and [[Big Shut Up|"One Step Closer"]].

** Oh God, "The Messenger". Chester ''really'' oversings on this little acoustic number. He almost sounds like [[U 2|Bono]].

** '''WHERE OCEANS BLEED INTO THE SKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY'''

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Mike and especially Chester swear like children out of their parents' earshot during concerts, which is rather jarring since they have stated in interviews early after getting big that they're averse to swearing in their music.

** However, the band decided to be a little liberal with the word "motherfucker" on "When They Come for Me". With their last two albums, they've resigned themselves to getting parental advisory labels.

*** Liberality or just for the hell of doing it? It seems like the seven motherfuckers on "When They Come for Me" is for fun.

Line 137:

** "Lockjaw", a piece Mike and Rob were commissioned to make by Digidesign to promote ProTools 8.

** "Issho ni", a charity track for the 2011 earthquake that devastated Japan.

* [["I Want" Song]]: Pick a song from the first two albums.

* [[I Want Song]]: Pick a song from the first two albums.

* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: "Shadow of the Day" sounds REALLY similar to [[U 2 (Music)|"With or Without You"]]. Likewise, the intro to "What I've Done" and the ''Halloween'' theme.

* [[Large Ham]]: Chester all the time, whether onstage or on tape. However, Mike isn't that far behind him.

Line 172:

** "A Place For My Head". STAY! A! WAY!

* [[Rags to Riches]]: Chester was so poor before he joined the band, he and his first wife (later divorced) tattooed wedding rings on their fingers, instead of buying 'em.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Chester and Mike's vocal roles. Chester provides the aggression, passion and sensitivity while Mike provides reflectiveness and observations.

* [[Refrain From Assuming]] / [[Non-Appearing Title]]: A good third of their songs.

* [[Refrain From Assuming]] / [[Non Appearing Title]]: A good third of their songs.

* [[Sampling]]: Linkin Park has sampled High and Mighty, Brand Nubian, Lamont Dozier, [[UNKLE (Music)|UNKLE]] and the first ''Pokemon'' movie, mostly on ''Reanimation''. Conversely, they've been sampled by [[Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (Music)|Krayzie Bone]] and [[Three Six Mafia (Music)|Juicy J]].

* [[Self-Titled Album]]: The ''Hybrid Theory'' EP.

* [[Self Titled Album]]: The ''Hybrid Theory'' EP.

* [[Shout Out]]:

** "Wretches and Kings" contains part of the immortal opening line from [[Public Enemy (Music)|"Bring the Noise"]], which comes full circle in the HavocNdeeD remix which features Chuck D himself.

Line 194:

** "Nobody's Listening" is basically a long f-you to all the people in the early days of the band who said they would amount to nothing.

* [[Textless Album Cover]]: ''A Thousand Suns''.

* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: "No Laundry".

* [[This Is for Emphasis Bitch]]: "No Laundry".

* [[Tough Act to Follow]]: Directly referenced by Mike in the song "When They Come for Me", referring to the mega-success of ''Hybrid Theory'' and ''Meteora'' where the majority of the band's fans were introduced to them.

* [[Trolling Creator]]: The band's co-vocalist Mike Shinoda has had shades of this in the last few years. Teasing snippets of new songs only leading to unrelated [[YouTube]] videos or claiming that a band member had quit. Recently Mike sent a link out on Twitter touting new pictures from the upcoming fifth album. When clicked, the link sends fans to a picture of a Troll doll.

* [[Unfortunate Names]]: Chester Bennington, at least while he was in school and had to deal with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_the_Molester "Chester the Molester"] [[Black Comedy Rape|jokes]]. See [[Creator Breakdown]] to understand [[Dude, Not Funny|why he didn't find this funny]].

** He got (a bit) better, considering he was wearing a shirt bearing the words "Chester the Molester" during LP's early years.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: '''"SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!"'''
