History Awesome / AtMidnight

* The very first episode had a segment called "Iron Shiek: Real Or Jabroni?" where contestants look at certain topics that Wrestling/TheIronSheik has tweeted about, and see what his stance on it is. What makes this a CMOA is that the night after the segment aired, [[ApprovalOfGod The Sheik himself approved of it]]!

* They got Music/WeirdAlYankovic, and then they were dumb enough (or brilliant enough) to have the Hashtag Wars be about spoofing band names. The other contestants barely even got a chance to buzz in. Al went on to win the entire episode as well.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXyrS3mpJPo#t=23 Free the Nipple.]] An epic near 3 minute rant on censorship.

* Chris totally shutting down the [[{{GIFT}} GIFTers]] who bitched about the all-female ''Film/{{Ghostbusters|2016}}'' reboot. [[http://www.cc.com/video-clips/slq79b/-midnight-this-cast-has-no-d--k---the--ghostbusters--remake See it here in all its nerdly glory.]]

* Creator/LeVarBurton comes on to blast the "definition" of the word 'book' on UrbanDictionary. And there is, of course, the outpouring of support from everyone--panelists included--for his ''Series/ReadingRainbow'' Website/{{Kickstarter}}.

* August 26th, 2014 - Last-place comedian [[GarfunkelAndOates Kate Micucci]] is so adorable and the three comedians show such solidarity that Chris allows all three to progress to the final round.
* Everything about Ron Funches wearing a Wrestling/RicFlair robe and carrying around an @Midnight title belt in his first appearance back after winning the 100th episode. (He lost in FTW.) [[http://i.imgur.com/361y8bz.jpg Behold!]]

* After the release of the ''Franchise/StarWars Episode VII'' trailer--and the ensuing racist shitstorm that whipped up thanks to...well, racists decrying the use of a black man in Stormtrooper armor--Chris cuts a "rap" about the ''Star Wars'' lore (after [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong someone on Twitter dared people to "follow the lore"]]) describing how the original clone troopers were exhausted after the Clone Wars and different human templates of all racial backgrounds were used (to say nothing of other humans joining on their own). Then, cue MicDrop.

* Teller (of PennAndTeller) managing to win without saying a single word.

* On one episode, they had three veterans of ''TheState'' as contestants. And then they showed that other members in the audience in various roles. This culminated in a full-on State reunion during the episode!

* Chris totally shutting down the [[{{GIFT}} GIFTers]] who bitched about the all-female ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}'' remake. [[http://www.cc.com/video-clips/slq79b/-midnight-this-cast-has-no-d--k---the--ghostbusters--remake See it here in all its nerdly glory.]]

* From the 10-20-15 episode, Chris's epic conspiracy theory rant about Back To The Future.

* The Highly Nuanced Roles of Women in Entourage: After the film flopped at the box office, Chris took great delight in taking the open misogyny inherent in the film and the series and kicking it while it was down.

** The fact that Benson has won the show multiple times while obviously and openly stoned out of his gourd is pretty impressive.
