One of his most popular songs, the apocalyptic "You're Driving Me Mad," was described as sounding like "a metal song sung by Ned Flanders".
Budaj, a devout Christian, is perhaps best known for having the depiction of Ned Flanders, a popular religious character from TV's The Simpsons painted on the back of his masks.

Budaj's 2009–10 mask features his racing idol Valentino Rossi on one side, the Avalanche's alternate foot logo on the other, and retains Ned Flanders on the back.
