- The Residents is known for Triple Trouble (2022), Eskimo (2002) and The Residents: Freak Show (1994).
- For public appearances and concerts, the four Residents appear in creative costumes, most frequently three eyeball masks with top hats and one black skull mask.
- Originally they performed on stage with full head masks made to resemble eyeballs. After one mask was stolen while on tour, it was replaced with a mask resembling a human skull. The "line up" has remained as such.
- So secretive towards their actual identities, that they consented to a magazine interview, only on the condition that it be done via conference call telephone connection.
- Claim to have gotten their name after sending an audition tape to Warner Brothers records without any name. It was mailed back to them, addressed to "The Residents".
- The eyeballs have been retired. There have been three sets over the years: the originals, the new ones made in the 1990s and the performance ones used for the Wormwood tour, and all the tours after. One of the performance eyes was auctioned off on Ebay.
- Matt Groening is a big fan. In 1979 he wrote "The True Story of The Residents".
