  • Acceptable Targets: Usually only goes after these.
  • Contested Sequel: There are about as many people that think The Wedding Dance of the Widow Bride is an improvement over Whiskey Rabbi as there are people who don't.
  • Crazy Awesome: Expect anything less from the writer of How to Be An Accordion Player? [1]
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Berner's a regular multiplication table when it comes to this. Merely crossing it twice is his default setting.
  • Ear Worm: "OH COME AAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL YE BOLD CANADIANS..."
  • First Installment Wins: We Shall Not Flag or Fail... does this for anyone who didn't appreciate his genre shift to klezmer.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: "Queen Victoria". Leonard Cohen's original was already squicky enough, but... man.
  • Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: The point of "Official Theme Song for the Vancouver / Whistler Olympic Games (The Dead Children Were Worth It!)".
