* The [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKdaP6lVyupYeTTKinNc67neByoDz2UAT "Baited"]] saga with Adam and Alex possibly counts as the biggest moment of awesome, when summed up as a whole. In all, Kitboga managed to waste the time of these two callers to the tune of ''over 37 hours'', with them calling him over 1,500 times. The entire thing was so massive that he had to split it up like a television series when presenting it on Website/YouTube and even those videos are still only a fraction of the total time. At 24 hours, which was itself a record, he did a simulated ConfettiDrop and wished them "Happy New Year!", not knowing at the time that the whole thing would continue on for half again as long.

When the complete saga was posted in its entirety on his "More Kitboga" channel, he still had to split it into four parts of about 9-10 hours each because it was that long.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3X-5XEUlOI&t=625s When Kitboga decided to investigate a scheme in which a call centre pretended to be Immigration and Customs Enforcement]], he discovered a group of scammers that scared victims into paying up by threatening to deport them, verbally abusing them throughout and showing zero remorse or compassion towards an audibly upset "Vicki". They proved to be fairly technically competent as well, at one point spoofing a call so that it appeared a police officer was en-route to arrest Vicki. All this makes the three hours Kit managed to waste with them all the more gratifying, especially when he managed to finally get the scammers to break their facade at the end.
