Card-Carrying Villain: Their adaptation of "bad guy" by Billie Eilish changes the song to be about a mustache twirling Dastardly Whiplash sterotypical bad guy who is explicitly telling you he is up to no good. | |

Dastardly Whiplash | |
| The Cog Is Dead (Music) / int_32e69b5f | comment |
Dastardly Whiplash: "Bad Guy" is about this kind of villain, a literal mustache-twirler who calls himself one-dimensional. Among his crimes are plotting world domination in his underground lair, and abducting a Damsel in Distress after she refuses to marry him. | |

| The Cog Is Dead (Music) / int_6d7fb55 | comment |
Fake Brit: "The Inventor's Daughter" is sung entirely in a Stewie Griffin-esque voice complete with bad English accent. The crew of Stuart the Sailor's ship in "The Ballad of Stewart the Sailor" are from all parts of the poorly-imitated UK, including Stewie Griffin's return. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| The Cog Is Dead (Music) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: The Death of the Cog is a very threatening indictment to a certain Mr Hamilton that the singer blames for causing the end of the age of steam and clockwork. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| The Cog Is Dead (Music) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Two strangely mournful songs, Time Machine and Letter To Michelle, are sandwiched between tracks that are more upbeat (The Inventor's Daughter, I Want Only You) or at least darkly humorous (The Depths Below). | |

No OSHA Compliance: It's set before there was an OSHA. "Blood, Sweat and Tears" has a fatal industrial accident where someone's blown into open gears, and everyone goes right back to work immediately afterwards. | |

Shout-Out: A line in the chorus of Another Cog In The Machine ("all in all I'm just another cog in the machine") references Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall. And the title of I Don't Wanna Live On This Planet Anymore is a Futurama reference. | |

Inherent in the System: A running theme in their work is that progress and prosperity are built on the suffering of the working class. "Blood, Sweat and Tears," "Another Cog in the Machine," and at the end, "Burn it Down" all exemplify this. | |
