* One from the jury show (and it's a good thing it didn't happen on the night) - the Finnish spokesperson was given the wrong jury result, and tried awarding 12 points to Ireland, not Israel, before getting caught by Österdahl and Petra when the results didn't match up.

** It gets even funnier when Nemo later revealed that [[https://www.instagram.com/p/C7E_bpUtzJO/ they had lost the second trophy]] as well. Nemo just couldn't keep their hands on the trophy for long!

* 2024 marked the 50th anniversary of ABBA's win in Brighton. During this year's grand final, Petra introduced a video looking into how the win affected Brighton. Cue a dramatic fanfare over shots of the city followed by a woman saying that it hasn't affected the city at all.

* Nemo ended their [[TriumphantReprise winner's reprise]] by placing the trophy on the stage, only for it to snap in half with an audible crunching sound. While this is far from the first time the winner has broken the trophy, it's amusing that it happened right after Nemo's final line about how they "broke the code".

Viewers of the BBC got the added bonus of hearing Graham Norton's commentary warn Nemo not to break the trophy less than a second before the crunch.

* Almost every promotional video by Finnish broadcaster [=YLE=] for [=Windows95man=], but the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5ik0UU8rEk&t=214s&ab_channel=UudenMusiikinKilpailu "Candlelight Dinner at a Italian Restaurant"]] takes the cake, especially when Teemu asks Henri what his favorite fruit or vegetable is. When Henri replies "Cucumbers", Teemu initially has his mouth agape, then has a ''very knowing grin'' upon seeing Henri's sheepish face.

** Becomes HarsherInHindsight actually, however, when one realises that, hours later, Nikki and Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS decided to leave the vote-reading task to Martin Österdahl - if you can't receive any votes, why read the ones you give out?

* Petra Mede presented the 2013 show and for one of the interval breaks, she presented "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7atEMPN4F0o Swedish Smörgåsbord]]", a hysterical song about everything Sweden is famous for. There's a reason she was brought back to host the 2016 contest. And then there's her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOrzKwRqURU deadpan reactions]] to the vote presenters.
