    • Anvilicious: Can occasionally happen when Partridge decides to tackle politics. "Complicated Game" is a great example of this, being one of their more famous album tracks. Even Moulding joins in on songs like "The Smartest Monkeys" and "War Dance".
    • Covered Up: The Crash Test Dummies' version of "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" is probably better known than the original due to its inclusion in the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack.
    • Crowning Music of Awesome: Skylarking.
    • Ear Worm: A very large percentage of their songs are these.
    • Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead".
    • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The band found success in America on college radio as they were tanking in their native England.
    • Growing the Beard: They did this when Gregory joined, and grew it even longer when they became exclusively a studio band. Gregory occasionally did it literally as well.
    • Harsher in Hindsight: Andy Partridge's Breakup Songs, after the dissolution of his marriage.
    • Tear Jerker: Oh, they have a few. "Dying" and "Sacrificial Bonfire", for starters.
