Episodes

    The Pilot 
  • Already in the intro, where Kaufmo has been replaced with a cardboard cutout of himself. The cutout then promptly falls over and the message "*Disclaimer: Kaufmo the Clown did not show up today." is swiftly and crudely edited in.
  • As Pomni quickly finds out, the Amazing Digital Circus is a world where absolutely anything can happen... except for swearing because it’s an all-ages world.
    • Upon learning of this, Pomni proceeds to try every curse she can think of, cue Cluster Bleep-Bomb.
    • Pomni asks if there's a way to leave immediately after realizing that she cannot swear, almost as if she wanted to leave solely because she wants to be able to curse.
  • Caine shows Pomni the digital world through flash steps: every time he stops, her eyes start rolling in every direction.
    • When Caine shows Pomni the grounds outside the tent, the moon starts flirting with him. Caine's reaction implies that's a regular thing that happens. Caine also bluntly says that the digital lake is for drowning yourself in.
    • After the tour Caine provides, Pomni vomits onto the floor, leading him to say, "Whoa! Clean up on aisle you!" Bubble helps with cleaning up... by licking up Pomni's vomit. Even Caine is visibly and audibly grossed out by this.
      Caine: (deeply, profoundly disappointed) Why are you like this...?
      • Pay attention to the other players' expressions during this scene. Ragatha cringes at the sight of Pomni vomiting and looks (naturally) worried afterwards, Zooble shakes their head, and Jax smiles through it all. As soon as Bubble starts licking up the vomit, Ragatha rolls her eyes (well, eye) a little. It's almost as if she too wants to know why Bubble is like this.
  • Jax pulls off one of Zooble's arms to use as a backscratcher as he says that if there was an exit to the circus, they'd have all used it by now. The arm promptly chokes him when he finishes talking.
  • Caine, oblivious to the existential terror of Pomni forgetting her name, offers to help her pick a new one:
    Don't you worry your little head—your new name can be anything, herebyacknowledgingthatyourchosennameand/ornamesmaynotbreachtheDigitalCircusUserLicenseAgreementstatingthatyournamemaynotincludeobjectionablecontentObjectionablecontentincludesbutisnotlimitedtosexuallyexplicitmaterialsobscenedefamatorylibellousslanderousand/orunlawfulcontentorprofanity. What're you thinkin'?
    • Caine's first suggestion for Pomni's name is XDDCC, read aloud from the slot machine that proposes it (complete with jaw contortions)
    • When he asks Pomni's thoughts on it, she only manages to get out the words "I don't-" before he agrees that it's terrible and moves on.
  • After deciding Pomni's name, Caine agrees with Jax's sudden idea of having another adventure... a little late on the draw.
    Caine: Gadzooks, you're right, Jax, we should have a brand new adventure for our new member, Pomni!
    Jax: I said that like five minutes ago.
  • Caine asking Pomni what she likes before an adventure.
    Caine: YOU! Do you like adventure? Activity? Wonder? Danger? Horror? Pain? Suffering? Agony? Death? Disease? Death? Angel food cake?
    (Caine holds out a huge loaf of cake. Bubble comes over and wolfs down the cake in one bite. Cue a brief Beat as Caine looks at his hands.)
    Caine: (lividly) YOU PARASITE!!! (Pops Bubble)
    • In the German dub, Caine instead says "DU DRECKSACK-BLASE!!"note  In the Chinese dub, he calls Bubble a rice bucket, a slang in Mandarin Chinese for a gluttonous person.
  • Bubble keeps interrupting Caine's explanation of how "Gather the Gloinks" works, including asking more questions while Caine's still answering the previous question. Caine eventually pops him so he can actually get a word in edgewise.
    Caine: (...) the entire circus tent will be infested with Gloinks, and you gotta catch 'em all!
    Bubble: But what are they?
    Caine: I'm glad you asked, Bubble, they're small—
    Bubble: And what do they do?
    Caine: They—
    Bubble: And how do they— (is popped)
  • Caine refers to the Gloinks as "humanoid hashbrowns", despite them actually being small colorful shapes that (probably) aren't made of potatoes.
  • During Caine's explanation of "Gather the Gloinks", a purple Gloink grabs a piece of cheese. A green one then grabs the table the cheese was on and rolls away, causing said table to clip into the ground.
  • Zooble decides to leave after the adventure is announced and tells everyone to leave them alone. They try to Flip the Bird while delivering a Precision F-Strike, but are unable to do so because their hand is obstructed by a Censor Box and their delivery comes out as a Sound-Effect Bleep. Then out of nowhere, the Gloinks ambush them, and get into a Big Ball of Violence which dismembers them, and they all hop away with Zooble's parts mere seconds after the game begins. Jax, being Jax, has this response:
    Jax: Oh no, they killed Zooble... anyway, you guys wanna go get something to eat?
  • When the Gloinks tear down Kinger's pillow fort, he has this to say:
    Kinger: My impenetrable fortress!
  • When Pomni tries to rationalize everything that she's experiencing is All Just a Dream and should play along, Jax chuckles to himself about her denial. When Caine sets them off onto an adventure in gathering the Gloinks, he makes an Aside Glance and snickers about her still thinking it's all a dream. Except this moment also makes him look like he's staring at Ragatha instead, weirding her out.
  • When Jax forces Gangle, and Kinger, while calling them Crybaby and Hoo-Ha, to deal with the gloink infestation, he tells Ragatha that the two are the most mentally stable and capable people of the group. As he does, Kinger slowly begins shaking so fast and violently that he has motion blur, as if he was a character in SMG4 or a Garry's Mod ragdoll having a fit. All Gangle can do is look at him in worried confusion.
    • Then, after Jax, Pomni, and Ragatha leave, Kinger stops shaking and spends around two seconds staring at Gangle before shouting in surprise, saying that Gangle startled him.
  • When Pomni, Ragatha, and Jax are going down the hallway leading to everyone's rooms, they stop by to look at Pomni's room, with her portrait being a sad face with wide eyes. The scene cuts right after that to show Pomni is making the exact same face.
  • When the three arrive at Kaufmo's room, he doesn't answer their knocking. Undeterred, Jax brandishes a key and states he has one to everyone's room, which Ragatha is horrified at. Jax then comments that he might have left something in Ragatha's room.
    Jax: By the way, I may have left something in your room today, so let me know if you find it. You're not afraid of centipedes, are you?
    Ragatha: JAX! That's literally my only fear! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!
    Jax: What, it could be a completely unrelated question.
  • When Ragatha is glitching out after having been attacked by the Abstracted Kaufmo, her facial features randomly start playing a game of Pong at one point.
  • When looking for Caine, Pomni opens multiple doors: one of them is a trap door with a boxing glove which punches her around (twice), and another one is a bathroom with a wooden mannequin taking a bath... who launches a screaming theatre mask directly at her. She quickly slams the door on it and it makes an impact dent on the door shaped like itself.
  • Jax throws a bowling ball at Kinger that makes him fall into the gloink hole. Over the course of the next 30 seconds...
    • Kinger grabs Gangle, slowly unraveling her as she slowly realizes what's going to happen before she falls in.
    • Jax casually hops in after them.
    • They all go down a twisting, turning slide that at one point makes them jump through a hoop, prompting a neon "RADICAL" sign to light up.
    • We see some bowling pin-shaped gloinks set up like a standard bowling lane. The bowling ball misses them. Kinger and Gangle, themselves rolling like a ball, topple nine of the gloinks. Jax lands on his feet and kicks the tenth, prompting a "SPARE" graphic.
    • Jax, clearly annoyed that he didn't get a strike, plucks the graphic out of the air and breaks it in half.
  • Kinger gets startled by Gangle a couple times throughout the pilot, so when it happens when they find the Gloink nest his scream gets perfectly cut off by the next scene.
  • In the Gloink lair, Gangle and Kinger play Rock–Paper–Scissors to determine who gets to help Zooble as opposed to fighting the Gloinks' queen. Gangle loses due to her "hand" being unable to form anything but paper.
  • This exchange between Jax and the Gloink Queen, which comes off as a bit of Leaning on the Fourth Wall:
    Jax: This is dumb and weird.
    Gloink Queen: (faltering a little) W-Well... but... yet, you're still watching it!
  • Caine having lunch with Bubble:
    Caine: Oh, Bubble! You always know how to make me say this exact sentence!
    • For whatever reason, Caine apparently spends his time "off-screen", as it were, hanging around in a completely mundane looking restaurant. The sheer disconnect from the colorful Mind Screw aesthetics of the circus is what sells it.
  • When "rescuing" Zooble from the Gloink Queen, Kinger asks them if they experienced any game shows in her stomach.
  • After finding an escalator leading out of Queen Gloink's lair, Jax uncharacteristically steps out of the way for Gangle, saying "Ladies first", only to immediately lampshade it.
    Jax: No, wait, why would I say that? (shoves Gangle over and walks in front of her)
  • After hearing Caine wonder why nobody told him about Kaufmo’s abstraction, Pomni, who went through a lot just to find him, just stares at the AI like she’s about to snap.
  • The following exchange:
    Zooble: (Saying the first sentence while reassembling themself.) Man, I can't believe Kaufmo just gave up like that. No offense, Kinger, but I always thought you would be next.
    Kinger: Thank you!
  • The Digital Feast given as a reward for defeating the Gloink Queen.
    • Apparently, it was cooked up by Bubble... with all the love he's "legally allowed" to give.
    • Jax comments that he's worked up an appetite as a result of the adventure. Gangle reminds him that he didn't even do anything.
    • When Kinger explains that they don't require food in the digital realm, we get this.
      Jax: Geez, lay off it. Since when are you an expert on the Digital World?
      Kinger: (genuinely confused and horrified) ...Expert on the what!?

    Candy Carrier Chaos 
  • The start of the episode is a terrifying Nightmare Sequence... which turns into a Mood Whiplash when Pomni catapults out of bed upon awakening, lands on a toy cube that begins to shake thanks to collision troubles, gets launched into the ceiling and then lands in front of the door. She then tries to get up, but faceplants the floor from shock.
  • During the explanation of the day's adventure, Bubble comments that the candy kingdom "sounds sticky", which Caine agrees with. Bubble's next comment on how it sounds is censored with a long bleep, causing the music to cut out and leaving Caine in shocked silence. As Pomni swearing later in the episode is covered by the usual Caine-themed censor box and cartoony sound effect, this implies that whatever Bubble said wasn't cursing, but was still bad enough to warrant not being heard.
    Caine: ...Bubble, you can't say that.
  • When Zooble shows disinterest in the adventure, Caine is trying to convince them to go with the others by saying he's "testing a new AI with this one", and that it will be "57 times more immersive!"
  • After hearing about the adventure, Ragatha says that it sound fun and asks Pomni about what she thinks:
    Pomni: So, our existence here is just... LARPing?
  • After Caine has pushed the gang (except Zooble) into the portal to the Candy Canyon Kingdom, he relaxes a bit by smoking a Bubble Pipe. He then offers said pipe to Bubble.
    Bubble: Nah, thanks. I'm trying to quit.
    • What makes it funny isn't what he says, but how he says it. The line lacks all of Bubble's usual manic energy, instead stated very calmly and barely above a whisper.
  • The way that Gangle's comedy mask breaks once again: She along with the others marvel in awe of the Candy Canyon Kingdom, only for a blue mannequin to run up behind her and point at the castle shouting "LOOK! IT'S THE PRINCESS!", knocking Gangle down and breaking the mask in the process.
  • The people of the kingdom think of Caine as their god, complete with his visage in a stained glass window. And not even of a dignified or grand pose. It's a picture of Caine's head, with his eyes askew and his tongue sticking out.
  • When the gang meet Princess Loolilalu, Ragatha tries to cheer up Pomni by talking about how they're friends with the Princess as if she were a child. Pomni is unamused.
    Pomni: I'm not a child. You don't have to hype me up.
  • As they are given a cool candy truck that wouldn't otherwise be out of place in Mad Max, Jax gleefully jumps in. As he presses the horn, he hears it is a distorted warble and promptly states how much it sucks. And then there's the fact he puts Gangle, of all players, behind the wheel.
  • The ensuing chase sequence to get the truck of maple syrup back is one conga line of hilarity after another:
    • As the gang first sees the bandits, Jax tells Gangle he's gonna cross over and shoot them until they're unrecognizable with his candy shotgun. As Gangle wonders if it violates some kind of convention, Jax, being a violence-craving jerk, tells her she violating his ears with her speech.
    • Ragatha tries to cheer Pomni up, saying she could be of use when they reach the bandits. Jax promptly grabs Pomni by the throat and tosses her out, causing her to end up between trucks... and start stretching when they begin to split up. As Jax smugly tells her to hold that pose as he gets something, Pomni, literally unable to do anything, curses him.
      Jax: Ah, that's perfect! Just hold that pose, I gotta get something.
      Pomni: Jax, you [BOINK!]shole...
    • Finding a bazooka (or rather, Bootzooka), Jax tells Pomni he'll cross over her. As she shouts "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!??" — complete with Super-Deformed face, the stretching limit is reached, causing her to let go of her grip as she's flung at the bandit's truck and starts hanging on it for dear life. Jax, uncaring, berates her as now he has no bridge.
    • Max gets out on the roof to try and deal with Pomni, but his arms are too short to reach her...even though he's pretty much next to her. He promptly gets blasted by Jax, falling out of the truck and catching the loose rope from the life preserver Kinger threw earlier like he's on a water ski. For extra measure, Max taunts to dodge a rock not unlike Peppino Spaghetti!
    • Gummigoo gets the idea to catch the circus gang rockier terrtain. Chad, the driver, tries to switch the gear, but his arms are too long. Gummigoo, having the right size, switches the gear... to the one titled "Rocky Road", as in ice cream name, causing their truck to extend above.
    • As Gummigoo slinks to scout out of the driver's window, Chad rests his head on Gummigoo's back.
    • As the bandit truck begins driving on the rocks, Max has a brief Oh, Crap! moment before beginning to spam taunting to avoid being hit by them.
    • Seeing such turn of events, Jax tells Gangle to drive towards the truck on said rocky terrain. When Gangle questions this, Jax tells her she's supposed to be submissive and harshly orders her to. As she complies and the truck hits the rocks, everything inside the truck starts shaking... except for Jax's head, stuck in annoyed expression.
    • As Gummigoo leans out to see the circus gang shaking on the rocks, he also sees Max behind the truck, still taunting to avoid the rocks. Gummigoo tells him to stop, and Max simply crawls back on the truck using the rope.
      Gummigoo: Hey! Quit muckin' about and get back up here!
      Max: Oh, yeah. Right.
    • When Ragatha and Kinger get covered in knives, we get this exchange:
      Ragatha: Everyone all right?
      Kinger: Can you repeat the question? I couldn't hear you over the knives.
    • Jax tell Gangle to ram into Gummigoo's truck. Once Ragatha urges Gangle not to do so because Pomni is still on their truck, Jax gently puts down his shotgun and pushes Ragatha aside, leading her to getting injured by more knives, screaming "Why are there so many knives back here?!" as Jax picks his shotgun back up and says "Do it, it'll be epic". He then blackmails Gangle into ramming the truck by threatening to tell Ragatha about the "figurine thing". She immediately complies, leading Pomni and Gummigoo to react appropriately from the collision.
      Pomni: Are you guys trying to [BOING]ing kill me?!
      Gummigoo: These guys are whack jobs!
    • Kinger tries to help save Pomni during this whole chaos. Emphasis on "tries": first he tosses a life preserver at her head while she's hanging onto both trucks (which Max grabs onto the rope of later). Then he throws an entire anchor at her, which she ducks as it goes over the other truck. He only goes to check if it's actually tied down to anything after Jax asks. This ends up sending their truck on a collision course and promptly into a swamp of fudge.
      Jax: (to Gangle) I blame you for this.
      • The anchor causes their war rig to slam right into the spike-covered truck, impaling Ragatha with one in the process. But since she's literally a ragdoll, she's no worse for wear and reacts to it with mild surprise. When Gummigoo swerves to separate the trucks, Ragatha is seen trying to get unstuck from the spike, only for the force to cause both of her arms to go through the wound.
  • Gummigoo and Pomni are launched through the map and out-of-bounds. To really establish where they're ending up, everything Gummigoo crashes into is a copy of the infamous Utah Teapot floating around.
    • Pomni's solution is the same thing that got them there in the first place: messing up the collision of the game world. She does this by taking a copy of the bandits' truck and placing plain grey cubes around its front to send them flying out.
  • The Circus gang and their war rig end up floating in the chocolate river, leading to this exchange:
    Ragatha: Oh, man. Poor Pomni. I hope she's alright.
    Jax: "Poor Pomni"? How about "poor us"?! We're one tanker away from being Augustus Glooped!
  • Pomni is once again missing once the rest of the gang meet the Fudge, with an appearance similar to that of the Gloink Queen, being a giant Blob Monster. Kinger even hangs a lampshade on this fact.
    Kinger: Pomni always seems to miss the big, gloopy monsters.
  • The Fudge explains that he used to live in the Candy Canyon Kingdom until he started eating the citizens and was banished by the princess. Ragatha notes that it just sounds like murder, but the Fudge asks if it really is murder if it's delicious.
  • Jax trying to butter the Fudge up leads to him subtly making a death threat on Ragatha.
    Jax: You make a great point!
    Ragatha: U-Uhh, no! Bad point!
    Jax: Why don't you leave this to me before I start thinking your hair looks like licorice?
    Ragatha: (nervously tugs at her hair strands) Jaaax!
    Kinger: Oh, wow, it kinda does!
    Ragatha: STOP!
    • Jax further tries to butter up the Fudge to win his cooperation, claiming he seems like "an upstanding guy with real noble goals".
      The Fudge: Oh, I'm not. If you knew what I did in my free time, oh, you'd be sickened!
    • Upon realizing Jax stole the key to the kingdom from Ragatha, Jax shuts up Ragatha by calling her "licorice hair" as a threat, prompting Kinger to pop out and shove a bucket over Ragatha's head, telling her to hide in it.
  • Jax makes a deal with the Fudge to help him return to the kingdom if he helps them deal with the bandits. As if on cue, the bandits' tanker comes shooting out of the sky and splashes into the fudge swamp.
    Max: I saw the reaper wink at me…
  • Kinger talks to Ragatha how he remembers how long it took for her to adjust, saying this experience is a lot for anyone go to through. That's not the funny part; the funny part is that Kinger has the bucket over his head that he hid Ragatha's head on it earlier, after Jax started to threaten her.
  • Everyone notices Pomni and Gummigoo's truck reentering the map with a boom. Gangle tries to look in the distance with binoculars, only for Jax to immediately snatch them to look for himself.
  • Upon landing, Pomni once again vomits shiny black sludge on the floor. Gummigoo tries to joke about it, only to end up doing the same himself.
  • As Pomni explains that Gummigoo is aware that he's an NPC and is going to come back to the Circus with them, Max and Chad can be seeing playing patty cake in the background, and then dancing. GLITCH would later post beta footage of this very Idle Animation to be seen more clearly. You're welcome.
  • Let's talk about Sad Jax, shall we? When the trailer for this episode was released, many fans couldn't help but notice Jax sitting at the end of a chocolate ocean slumped over, looking upset, and naturally had fun speculating what could possibly be eatingnote  a Jerkass like him. Did he go too far with his behavior and is now feeling remorse for his actions? Did something bad happen to one of the other players, leaving him more concerned for them than he was willing to admit? Was he just tired from a long adventure? Nope! He was "unbelievably disappointed" that there was not enough bloodshed, death and chaos (his words, not ours). Oh, poor, poor Jax...
    Jax: I'm so unbelievably disappointed right now...
    Ragatha: Well, maybe there'll be blood, death and violence in the next adventure.
    Jax: Ha-ha-ha-ha. How wholesome.
    […]
    Jax: UGH! Let's take this DUMB truck back to the DUMB kingdom, I guess!
  • Jax, not to be robbed of his desire for a "violent" climax to the adventure, leaves the gate to the kingdom unlocked. He has problems containing his sheer glee when the explosions, the Fudge's Evil Laugh, and the screams of the citizens of the kingdom can be heard echoing in the distance.
  • In a way, Gummigoo's demise just because of how visually goofy and sudden it is.
    Caine: Oop, looks like one of these guys made it through! (snaps fingers)
    Gummigoo: Wait, wh—(explodes into confetti)
  • When Caine leaves after disposing of Gummigoo, Zooble emerges from behind a wall, implicitly having been hiding the whole time everyone was gone to keep from being shoved into the adventure with everyone else.

Misc.

    POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE 
  • The video opens with Pomni laying on the bed at her bedroom in a frozen position, staring at the top part of her bed. Then, as the camera shows her perspective, Caine pops up and Jump Scares Pomni and us. He asks Pomni to "guess what", to which Pomni responds with a simple "no". She's completely ignored by Caine, who carries on with his sales pitch.
    • Pomni is still in the middle of her Heroic BSoD from the end of the pilot, judging by the music and her wide-eyed stare at the ceiling. The fact that this snaps her out of it and brings her back to a relatively normal mood is funny enough on its own.
  • Caine starts off the announcement by saying that the Digital Circus will now be upgraded to a series due to the pilot reaching their goal of 1 view. Considering that the pilot at the time of the video had 271 million views, it's safe to say the goal was well passed.
    Pomni: Is that... how that normally works?
    Caine: Shut up! (without skipping a beat) I have so much to show you!
  • Caine demonstrates to Pomni the "little crying mark" her "little crying face" made on the Internet ("Something I don't canonically have any knowledge of"). It's completely pixellated.
    Pomni: What the f(BOING!)k am I looking at?!
    Caine: (takes off his hat in a gesture of reverence) The consequences of our actions! And it's only going to get worse from here.
    Pomni: O-o... oh, no...
  • The four "Adventures" Caine shows off to Pomni and the watcher. There's one set in the "Candy Canyon Kingdom", one that shows Kinger bashing something off-screen with a shotgunnote , and Jax working as a Burger Fool in an obvious McDonald's Expy. When the next turns out to be a screenshot of an untextured area in Autodesk Maya, Caine desperately tries to cover it up.
  • The Sun appears out of nowhere and threatens to kill Caine, all because she has no lines in any of the scripts while Moon has a whopping two. Caine promises that she will get some lines, and Sun instantly drops her murderous streak. The video continues as if this never happened.
  • After Caine reveals the many new characters (in a rapid-fire, single-frame showcase with split-second audio), he freaks out at the thought of "all the violent shipping wars that we'll be completely powerless to do ANYTHING ABOUT!"
    Pomni: ...Is... Is this a cry for help?
    [Caine slowly morphs into a static image of an actual bootleg Caine plushie]
    Pomni: I see...
    [Caine suddenly turns back into himself with a *PLOP!* sound]
    Caine: I blacked out for a second. What happened?
  • Some of the merch shown off are two Animatez figurines of Pomni and Caine that the latter is certain that "well-adjusted people can be normal and responsible with."

    Merch 
  • The first official merch video, where plush versions of Pomni and Jax go on their own adventures including "Escape the Playground" (Pomni and Jax get thrown off a swing set), "Road-Rage Radness" (driving a car in gm_bigcity) and "Who killed Mrs. Killpatrick?"
    Caine: Where were YOU on the night of the murder, Pomni?
    Pomni: (Screaming since 'Escape the Playground', now suddenly silent.) Wait, what?
  • Aside from the merch video, some of the actual merch is rather silly.
    • This aptly named t-shirt which features Ragatha, Gangle, and Pomni struggling to not fall out of the pocket.
    • The Jax "iconic quote" jumper, which features a quote Jax has never said.
  • This post which shows the characters as plushies doing random things. From left to right, top to bottom:
    • Gangle, Zooble, Jax, Gummigoo, Kinger, and Ragatha having a tea party, except the teacups contain Zooble's appendages.
    • Zooble playing Hollow Knight on a Nintendo Switch, but their arms are detached. Ragatha watches and Kinger hides in pillows.
    • Gummigoo in a basket filled with flowers with Pomni nearby, made as a reference to his funeral.
    • Gangle with her comedy mask removed and sitting in a "CRYBABY Corner :(".
    • Gangle crying over a broken egg. Kinger has an egg on him, and Zooble is in the background with their appendages swapped.
    • Caine cooking Zooble and their appendages, separately.
    • Gangle trapped in a cage, and Jax has her comedy mask.
    • Ragatha lying down in a circle of knives, with Jax in a corner and Kinger having a cup on his head.
    • Gummigoo and Pomni seem to be having a candlelit dinner. Caine watches in the background with an extra set of eyes.
  • A Very Special Digital Circus Song. What better way to promote your merchandise than with a full blown musical featuring the cast as plushies singing a parody of I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General? It starts with Caine tasking the crew with a "musical adventure", before he admits that he forgot to write lyrics and there is literally no time to write them, forcing everyone to make things up on the spot. Cue the chaos:
    • Pomni has to kick off the song by reading off the ingredients on the back of a shampoo bottle. For bonus points, it even has a cameo of Orbsman, who had not yet appeared in any episode at the time of the video's release.
      Bubble: Sounds delicious!
      • Since he doesn't actually have a plushie, Bubble is represented by a Bubble pin on the Caine plushie's lapel.
    • Gangle ends up having her comedy mask broken yet again (as she's repeating "Don't break it Jax!" in her part), but ironically not because of Jax, but this time because of Kinger who was eating bananas and carelessly throwing the peels around. It even gets her to swear for the first time!
      Gangle: What the [HONK!]?! Kinger!
      Kinger: [in the seats, banana by his side] Whoop! Sorry. Just...[takes a "bite"] eating a little banana~
    • Ragatha sings her heart out and tells Zooble to take it away after ending her verse with "do a silly dance". Zooble sits in unamused silence, only responding with "This is stupid". Caine then Boo's Zooble and, trying to get them to sing, grabs them with a live action arm and starts shaking them so hard that their limbs fall off, Jax following this up with a couple of sung out insults to Zooble before their remains get thrown at him.
      • On another note, Ragatha's part could be seen as funny as upon closer inspection, her lyrics are a slew of cheesy and stereotypically feminine pleasantries.
        Ragatha: Sunny days and rainbows, getting hugs and petting kitty cats. When you feel down and in the mud, instead of frowning, do a silly dance!
    • Kinger meanwhile drops a dramatic voice change for his portion of the song. And then he utters a little "ow" as he's dropped by the hand moving him around.
    • To cap off the musical, Caine sets up Pomni for a duet... As Gummigoo shows up, much to Pomni's surprise. However, he keeps saying "Crikey!" before suddenly glitching out, letting a distorted "down under" and exploding into a ton of confetti in front of Pomni much like his in-show death. Cue Pomni letting out a Skyward Scream along with Caine and Bubble to end the musical before she falls off the stage.
    • Caine reveals that everyone is still being punished. That punishment being that Caine will MASS PRODUCE them.
      Pomni: Wait, we're still being punished?
      Caine: That's the thing about life, Pomni, sometimes you get MASS PRODUCED.
    • Caine brings up our friend the Gummigoo keychain, in all his NON-EDIBLE glory, perfect for NOT EATING.
      Onscreen Text: I KNOW IT LOOKS TASTY BUT YOU JUST CAN'T EAT IT I'M SORRY

  • Gooseworx drew some Valentine cards featuring Caine and Pomni — the former being his usual self, the latter giving a lighthearted Take That! to what the internet will inevitably subject her to.
    Caine: You drive me teeth % crazy for who Valentine hot eat the food
    Pomni: Why are people drawing my feet so realistic?
  • The pilot contains a link to a page on the Glitch Productions website called TheWackyWatch, acting as a brief promotional video for the show. In the video, an image of Jack Black is shown on two occasions, being labelled as a character named Jack.
  • A walk cycle video was uploaded by one of the show's animators, where the main six performers are walking: alongside Pomni walking nervously, Ragatha walking normally and Gangle walking depressingly, Jax is parading while watching the others with his smug face, Kinger is sliding on the ground while having his hands around the area that seems to be his hips, and Zooble keeps stumbling due to their right leg not being made for walking.
    • One week later, a run cycle video was released: Pomni is running like Woody, Kinger slides faster with less hip movement and arms up in the air, Gangle has her ribbon arms floating behind her like real ribbons, Ragatha is making exaggerated movements, Jax looks like he's confused as to what's happening, and Zooble... is zoobling.
  • Someone suggested that Glitch put the characters under a hydraulic press. Lo and behold...
  • Pomni and Caine's voice actors, Lizzie Freeman and Alex Rochon, voice a fan animation of them robbing a bank to Pomni's horror. Caine insists they're "adventuring" a bank and tells Pomni to keep up before he shoots the teller.
  • Also from Rochon, there's him reading out a Discord post as Caine. The post in question? Well...
    Caine: (While "The World Revolving" plays and gradually speeds up) *SNOOOOOOOOOOORT* POMNI. I HAVE SNORTED A SUITCASE FULL OF COKE. AND I'M STARTING TO FEEL THE EFFECTS! HOOHOOHOOHOOHOO! OOOOOH! WHOOO HOO HOO HOO!!!
    • This was taken further by an animated version by Hobo Hobo, which had Caine saying the line to Pomni's cardboard cutout before deciding to shoot it in a fit of madness.
  • One piece of concept art shows Jax raising a pertinent issue that's arisen now that Pomni has basically replaced Kaufmo... There are too many girls now. Complete with a familiar pose. Also, Zooble is in their own category. Another set of art in the same post shows Kinger being, well, Kinger, complete with actual swearing and this bizarre quote - "I DON'T FUCK THE TILES!"
  • Some of the jokes spawned from the voice actor livestreams qualify:
    • One of the dialogue requests is Caine telling Ragatha that Jax is putting centipedes in her bed.
      Caine: Hi, Ragatha! I overheard Jax talking about filling your bed with centipedes! Have fun with that!
      Ragatha: Well, that's probably— WAIT, WHAT!? JAAAAAX!
      Jax: (laughs) They're cuddle bugs! They love you!
    • Someone asked Amanda Hufford to try their hand at a crying voice for Ragatha. They comply, and hilarity ensues.
      Ragatha: (sobbing) You... You want me to... cry!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?
      Jax: Ah, it's music to my ears!
      Gangle: But you can't start crying, Ragatha, because then I'll start crying!
      Caine: Jax, you're grounded!
      Jax: What do you mean I'm grounded!? What are you gonna do?
      Caine: Eat your peas, Jax.
      Amanda: (out of character) He'll put you in the ground, that's what!
      Jax: Well, at least it's not corn.
      Caine: Eat your corn, Jax!
      Jax: Okay now I draw the line there, buddy.
    • Michael proceeds to joke that the "Jax getting grounded" part of this exchange will be probably used as fodder for a content farm, much to everyone's horror.
    • Marissa's attempt at singing the theme song leads to them replacing every character with Gangle.
    • Amanda is asked to say "I love you, Pomni" in-character as Ragatha. They end up playing it as Ragatha saying "I love you" to everyone... except Jax, who Ragatha is "on the fence" about.
      Jax: You think I want your love? (beat) That's gay.
    • When Alex discusses shipping, Gooseworx herself pipes in on chat, ominously saying that she thinks she needs to "preemptively apologize to the BunnyDollnote  shippers". The voice actors all promptly panic.
    • Alex jokes that if Caine were to get infected by a Computer Virus, he'd compulsively say things like "CLICK HERE FOR FREE IPOD!" or "HOT SINGLES IN YOUR AREA!" every time he sneezes or coughs.
  • The Episode 2 trailer is initially narrated by Caine like it's a preview for an upcoming episode...only for the commentary to quickly deviate into a funny conversation between Pomni and Caine.
    Caine: Sounds like a real radiant riot, right, Bubble?
    Pomni: ...Huh? Where am I?
    Caine: What's wrong, Bubble? Why are you acting like you don't know who I am?
    Pomni: Wha— I'm— I asked where I was, not who you are. Also, I'm not Bubble. What's happening?
    Caine: It's called "Improv", Pomni! The first rule of improv is to never pretend you're not Bubble!
    Pomni: What...does this have to do with the Candy Canyon Kingd--?
    Caine: And, scene! It's gonna be a sickly sweet old time! I'LL SEE YOU THEEERE!
    Pomni: I-I still don't really know anything about this epis—and I've been teleported into a meat freezer... Cool.
