Line 99:
* [[Least-Common Pizza Topping]]: "No anchovies? You've got the wrong man. I spell my name...Danger!"
* [[Left the Background Music On]]: In "Nick Danger", a character demonstrates that all they have to do to time-travel is "to fade out the sound and cue the organist!"
* [[Viewers Are Geniuses|Listeners Are Geniuses]]: A core value of their comedy. [[Robin Williams]] once described their work as the audio equivalent of a [[Hieronymous Bosch]] painting, and you're always looking for the little man who's coming out of the ass of a chicken. If you think you even got all of ''Nick Danger'' the first time, for example, you are probably wrong.
* [[Long Title]]: Most of their albums, although most notably ''How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All?''
* [[Mad Libs Dialogue]]: On ''I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus'', the robot president ([[No Celebrities Were Harmed|who sounds oddly similar]] to [[Richard Nixon]]) uses voice clips of the guests saying their own name to refer to them, that is, until the protagonist, Uhclem, breaks him.
