Barenaked Ladies/Trivia

• Official Fan-Submitted Content: One of their videos was clips of fans lip syncing to the song.
• One of Us:
  • Ed has stated that one of the reasons he was able to write the theme for The Big Bang Theory is because science was one of his favorite subjects in school when he was growing up. He also knows the guys at Rooster Teeth and has helped them out with videos they did to help promote the custom content system for City of Heroes.
  • And, he was Captain Flowers in Red vs. Blue.
• So My Kids Can Watch: Several examples, actually. In addition to Snacktime!!, there's "The Ballad of Gordon", an Anvilicious yet catchy PSA the band did very early in their career. They've also contributed songs to other children's compilations.
• Real Life Writes the Plot: There really is a net on a bridge near where Steven Page lives to stop jumpers from "raining down on the cars and trucks below".
• Shout-Out:
  • To the song "Mr. Roboto" from the Styx album Kilroy Was Here. Near the end of "The King of Bedside Manor", they all shout "Styx!" and start singing the signature Gratuitous Japanese from that song before returning to the original melody to finish up.
