** He also uploaded full unedited [=LoL=] match of him playing the jungle, leaning more towards education rather than comedy.
** Even more different is the random review of hotels that he happens to stay in for an event like PAX east, blabbering about the items in his room.

* ''WebVideo/TheAnnotatedSeries'' breaks up it's main features (video game based movies or TV shows) with intermissions that are usually completely unrelated to the central videos but are of similarly poor quality. These are typically meant as [[BreatherEpisode Breather Episodes]] for the riffers (and by extension the audience) to use to warm up before the next feature, but sometimes the intermissions end up being ''so bad'' they usurp the main feature.

* [[http://chezapocalypse.com/episodes/until-the-lion-learns-to-speak/ "Until the Lion Learns to Speak"]] from ''WebVideo/FoldingIdeas''. Instead of analyzing stories and music, he decided to discuss Somalian culture because he's worried about Somalia's current struggles overshadowing their rich history. Especially since they were the first country and developed the first written language. At the end, he plays the Somalian song, that the title's named after, with his friend.

** An even better example is "The September Monologues," which changes the entire episode formula. It begins differently, without the usual "Welcome to Night Vale" catchphrase, and ends without the usual "good night." The episode itself is a series of 3 monologues from various characters, each one with a brief introduction from Cecil. What is even more unusual is the lack of weather, (save 6 seconds of generic music that are immediately cut off.)

* Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale has a couple examples of this. The most obvious one is "A Story About You", in which the usual news style is discarded in favour of a second-person narration describing the day in the life of an 'ordinary' Night Vale citizen. "The Sandstorm, Part B", is also an example, as the majority of it is narrated by Kevin, Cecil's Desert Bluff's counterpart.
