Wack Ass Tuba Riff is a 1996 album by the American alternative rock band Fulflej. The previous year they were signed to James Iha and D'arcy Wretzky's new record label, Scratchie Records, and this was the first full LP from them following 1995's The Microwave EP.

Both Iha and Wretzky co-produce much of the album with Adam Schlesinger (of Fountains of Wayne and Ivy). "Work In This Universe" and features an ascending acoustic guitar solo by Iha. He also provided E-Bow guitar on "Microwave". Wretzky provided background vocals on "Trust Flushed With Colors". Both appeared on "Shells", with backing vocals by Wretzky and a guitar solo and acoustic guitar from Iha. Schlesinger (who later started Tinted Windows with Iha) provided tambourine and organ on two other tracks.

Cellist Eric Remschneider ("Disarm" and "Luna" off of Siamese Dream, among others) made several appearances on the record, providing cello on "Microwave", "Trust Flushed With Colors", and "Silver".
