He then breaks into Josh's house live on stream twice more in the same year when Josh is playing ''Earthbound'', once to give him an egg and once to reorganise his inventory while Josh is in the bathroom.

** When asked to sing songs on streams, Stephen has a tendency to default to the rhyme 'quick / trick' when panicking and unable to think of anything else, which Chaz frequently points out. When asked to sing about one of his friends he also uses 'friend / till the end' a lot.

* AnachronicOrder: A few months' worth of vlogs from 2018 were skipped (the 'timeline split') so Stephen could make the vlog content current again, and it took until 2023 for Stephen to post the last of them. This means that sometimes events from 2018 were referenced years before they actually appeared on the vlog, such as Stephen imitating the sound of a malfunctioning toilet from 2018 becoming a 'clown alert' on Breakfast Stream well before the vlog featuring the incident was posted.
Added DiffLines:
** There are a number specific to Breakfast Stream. For example, every time Stephen (or occasionally someone else) makes a strange noise, the chat posts "New clown?" and, usually, by the end of the stream Chaz has added it to the randomly rotating series of strange noises that accompany the 300-bit 'clown alert' (so called because the first example was Stephen imitating an Irish clown).

* HollywoodBoardGames: On the 2069th day, Stephen, his parents, Mal, Karley, and Kyle play ''TabletopGame/{{Telestrations}}'', a mix of ''Telephone'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Pictionary}}'' where the first person gets a clue, draws it, and passes the sketch to the next person to interpret and draw. Rinse and repeat. The game starts innocent enough, with a "beaver" not surprisingly getting interpreted as "a squirrel holding an acorn". However, soon enough what started as "animated movie" gets derailed to "abortion clinic". As a former art teacher, Mal's drawings are the easiest to recognize. By contrast, Steve (Stephen's dad) draws like a toddler, with everyone bursting out laughing at his interpretations of the cues -- he sees a rough drawing of a Kindergarten class and somehow thinks it's an abortion clinic.
