Line 16:
* [[Snark Bait]]: For most people nowadays, especially the younger viewers. The British retrospective comedy [[Panel Game]] ''It's Only TV But I Like It'' included a round entitled "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Let's All Laugh At]] [[Funny Foreigner|Foreigners]]" where the teams were shown three embarrassingly bad Eurovision performances from across the years and had to guess which one got 'nul points'.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: On the first viewing, you may be moved by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=671tCjePT3w Rona Nishliu's] semi-final performance of "Suus" for Albania in 2012. However, watching it again after you find out about the [[wikipedia:Qafa e Vish%C3%ABs bus accident|horrible bus accident in Albania]] that happened the day before and after you find out that she dedicated her performance to the victims of the accident makes you realize that she's not visibly holding back tears just because of the mood of the song...
* [[Took the Bad Film Seriously]]: Long after Western Europe stopped taking it seriously, the fall of the Soviet Union and the breakup of Yugoslavia led to a number of new countries seeing appearing in it as a serious mark of independence, a show of national pride, and even as an advert for tourism.
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Again, Serbia's entries in 2007 and 2010.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Political?]]: The famous ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGlJyCXNu_M Insieme(togeather)]'' by Toto Cutugno; also known by it's chorus "Unite, unite Europe"; won the contest just as the last details were being completed for the forming of EU.
