Morris Day and Jerome Benton of The Time are pretty funny guys, ya know. Remember the "password is what?" scene from Purple Rain?
Ear Worm: We're dealing with songs written by Prince here.
Ending Fatigue: Many of The Time's songs eschew ending in favour of repeating the backing track and adding not really that funny Spoken Word in Music.
Fetish Retardant: Most of Prince's early female associates embodied this trope with their Narm-filled lyrics and posturing. Wendy and Lisa are the most notable exception to the rule.
Funny Aneurysm Moment: Prince's character in Purple Rain is a Jerkass who bullies Wendy and Lisa and restricts their creativity. In Real Life, Prince was a huge Jerkass to Wendy and Lisa. Happy viewing!
Narm: Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6's second calling card. The Time definitely falls into Narm Charm due to their charisma and all other associates have varying levels of the stuff. More successfully avoided by Wendy & Lisa.
Painful Rhyme: Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6 had a fair share of them.
Sophomore Slump: Wendy and Lisa's album Fruit at the Bottom.
