Cobra Starship/YMMV

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Ear Worm-ridden dance band, or scathing Deconstruction of celebrity culture? You decide.
  • Can't they be both?
• Crazy Awesome: The band was allegedly formed after Gabe saw a time-traveling intergalactic cobra in the desert while on peyote, and received a message that the apocalypse was coming and his job was to help humanity go out in style. From there, it only gets crazier.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: The home video for Guilty Pleasure.
  • It gets better when you read the video description:

'So Decaydance / FBR gave us $650,000 to make our new video, but we blew it all on a sports car, so we had to make a home video for 'Guilty Pleasure' on our own one Saturday afternoon. Enjoy!'

• • Also overlaps with Crowning Moment of Awesome: Everything they do.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: The band started off with one of the most recognizable songs of the decade, "Snakes On A Plane".
  • Also, the afromentioned "Guilty Pleasure".
• Ear Worm
• Face of the Band: Gabe, who is just as much an attention whore as label boss Pete.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Gabe's former band, Midtown, whose last album in particular was incredibly emo. Compare to Cobra's material...
• Memetic Molester Gabe, who just can't seem to keep his hands to himself. Not that anyone complains.
• Painful Rhyme: Rhyming seven with seven in "Move Like You Gonna Die".
• Ruined FOREVER: Some fans called this after finding out they're the opening act for Justin Bieber in his upcoming tour of South America.
