As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

  • The "Glamping" episode is considered this for nostalgic viewers who saw it as a kid (though they probably shouldn't have). Even so, the incredibly dark lighting, the mysterious noises, and Adam's jump scare can still prove to be a bit startling. Especially when The Stinger reveals that the one-eyed one-armed murderer is Real After All... while baby Krissy has managed to wander off again.
  • The part in "Krissy's Christening" where a sprinkle of holy water changes Krissy into a fire-breathing dragon, who proceeds to attack Barbie, might scare some viewers, at least until it becomes revealed as merely Barbie's drunken hallucination. Consequently, the description warns, "Some content might be frightening for young viewers."
  • "Tutti and Todd" has Skipper share her theories on how either George, Margaret, or Aunt Millicent killed them, each one acted out by silhouettes. Margaret claims the accusation against her sounds rather far off, but the other two suspects deny only Tutti and Todd staying dead. The real explanation for their disappearance, shown in Sam & Mickey's normal style for flashbacks, proves more horrifying than anything Skipper could have imagined.
    Barbie:note  Once you've heard this story, there's no un-hearing it. It'll haunt you for the rest of your life.
  • In "60", Ken's behavior in the alternate past is both this and a Tear Jerker due to his treatment of Barbie. Compared to the slow but usually well-meaning Ken, who is nothing but kind and loving to his daughters and even Barbie, despite her many flaws, AU!Ken is a straight-up horrible husband to Barbie, whom he yells at for apparently resenting the fact her family disowned her for marrying a "loser" like him, even though what little we see of AU!Barbie is to ask him how his day was in an affectionate manner. So, on top of being emotionally abusive, he's implied to be gaslighting her too. By the end of the vision, AU!Barbie is in tears over the realization that she has sacrificed her family and social status for a man who ended up treating her like dirt.
