| The Rocker / int_316e9da2 | comment |
Memetic Mutation: In-Universe example. The Naked Drummer video goes viral, which causes their song to become a hit, and them to get signed for a record deal. | |

British Rockstar | |
| The Rocker / int_3e7df515 | comment |
British Rock Star: All of Vesuvius act like this post-fame, complete with fake British accents. Their new drummer Sticks actually is British, though. Fred Armisten commonly pantomimes British punk rock stars in his comedy sketches. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| The Rocker / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Fish is dismissed after attacking a co-worker who mentions that Vesuvius has a new album. That would get you fired in real-life. | |
