  • The end of the Glass of Water episode, Wank On, Wank Off (at the 14:04 mark) when Lily takes a rare opportunity to speak directly to some of her younger viewers, reassuring them that it's okay to put aside their morals to do what's right, and it's OK to be unsure about whether or not it was actually right to do so.
  • Many of Lily's interactions with Billy, her girlfriends (Mikaila and Ginger), and her friends Xain, Harmony, Carousel and Sketchy are either this or hilarious. Occasionally both.
  • Her friendship with ILoveKimPossibleAlot, showcased in the Mental Health videos, "Call Me Beep Me", and in Squad Cast. Seeing them being supportive and/or goofy off with each other, in spite of everything they've been through is really heartening to see.
  • For her "In a Minute" videos, Lily usually tends to use the thumbnail picture as the end card as "Pandaren Inn" plays in the background. But this was not the case for "Aladdin in Eight Minutes". Instead, she used the tribute art for Robin Williams drawn by Genie's supervising animator, Eric Goldberg, and had a cover of "Friend Like Me" playing.
  • The ending of "Top Ten Best/Worst/Blandest Episodes of MLP" has Lily speak about her previous bit of Creator Breakdown. In a previous video, Lily discussed burnout and stress over the response of some of her fans. She cites one in particular who doxxed her not out of malice, but to send her a Nintendo Switch and Pokémon Sword and Shield, all under the impression that this would eventually lead to Lily bashing the games in a video. Lily calls out some of the toxic behaviors of her fanbase that led to her having a breakdown, which left her pleasantly surprised at the positive response she got, including a massive drop-off in the behaviors that she railed against. In the aforementioned MLP video, she genuinely thanks her viewers for their responses.
    Lily: And very recently, I had a video up where I vented about the frustrations of dealing with my audience, and the stress and burnout that's created. And I thoroughly expected that to tank my business. I expected people to unsubscribe and cancel their pledges en masse. I was wrong. What actually happened was I saw a massive uptick in pledges, and a torrent of support and apologies from the audience, as well as actually changed behavior. Almost overnight, the thing that was making me hate my job dropped to about ten percent of what it had been originally. I wouldn't have a roof over my head right now if it weren't for you guys. I wouldn't be able to live comfortably if it weren't for you guys. I was worried about what would happen to me for a long time, and now I don't have to worry about that anymore. [...] Some cartoon didn't change my life; you guys did. I know I can be hard on you all, but from the bottom of my heart: Thank you.
