* During his E3 2018 Bethesda Conference Reaction Stream, Joel decided to end off the stream with a treat, in celebration of the previous announcement during the Xbox Conference, and some closure to a RunningGag in his community: he takes on the legendarily difficult "Turbo Tunnel" level on the [[{{VideoGame/Battletoads}} original Battletoads game.]] He says that he has a secret technique that allows him to beat it, and the only thing he reveals about it is that it involves "sound". But it requires intense concentration, and he hasn't played the game in a while. He jokes that it's easy, and that he'll beat it first try. '''[[HolyShitQuotient He does.]]''' '''''[[https://youtu.be/4FbZY9i71_8?t=2h12m12s It has to be seen to be believed.]]'''''

* During his second run of the Elite Four in ''JustForFun/PokemonVietnameseCrystal'', Joel accidentally sends out his underleveled Kadabra, Satam, against Bruno. After realizing that switching to his Pidgeot would cause the game to crash, he leaves Satam in, who proceeds to wreck Bruno's shit. Afterwards, he becomes a staple on Joel's team.

** The Mario Maker 2 stream in question ended up being a '''nineteen hour long''' stream in which Joel works on beating his excruciatingly difficult level called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin '[=Can'tBeatThis=] Land']], as Mario Maker levels can only be uploaded if the creator can finish it. The chat often pleaded with Joel to simply make the level a little easier so he could finish it, but as Joel hates compromising his ideals the level remained brutal, up to and including ''fake dev paths'' that will [[EasyModeMockery screw you out of a win]] in you try to take an easy way out. When [=SimpleFlips=] gets around to playing the level he falls for the fake paths many times to Joel's mad cackling glee before giving up on the spike maze to practice, and Creator/MikeMatei ends up ragequitting the level.

** Note that after he says this, ''Bonzi puts on his sunglasses,'' and just...'''[[FaceDeathWithDignity waits]]''', for his inevitable end. Program or not, you gotta admit that Bonzi became a full-blown, fearless badass for a moment, at that point.

* Joel finally gets his hands on ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle'', and if that's not enough, at around 30 minutes in he [[https://youtu.be/sOu2leA3usc?t=30m pulls off DIO's famous Road Roller move]] on Jotaro Kujo to finish him off. If that's not enough, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "Sono Chi No Sadame"]][[note]]The opening theme to the [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood first season]] of the ''Manga/{{JoJo|sBizarreAdventure}}'' anime.[[/note]] is playing as he does so. And if that's not enough, he also triggers the Moiroh stage's Dramatic Finish, and Jotaro is dragged off into Reimi's Alley. [[UpToEleven And the music syncs up well with the events going on]], making this an amazing moment for JJBA fans all around.

* Vinny explained during his ''VideoGame/MetroidZeroMission'' stream that he noticed a trend wherein he would stream a game, and soon after a sequel would be announced. He decided specifically to play a Metroid game knowing that it hadn't seen a proper sequel since ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM''. [[VideoGame/MetroidPrime4 It]] [[VideoGame/MetroidSamusReturns worked.]]

* Joel made a StylisticSuck song based off of a random Mario player’s username. During a VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker2 stream, he was able to find his official Youtube, confirming he did play the same game, ( though not remembering encountering him ), enjoyed his work, and is a Swede as well. Joel is beyond elated, and [[PetTheDog tells the entire chat to subscribe to him.]] This stands out as a SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment that the chat helped make by sending the link and connecting them. [[WhatYouAreInTheDark Mind you, the chat could have sent him false links or trolled either party, but no, they actually went and found him. A rare moment of chat uniting to make a happy moment and showing restraint. Perhaps chat isn’t all memes and trash, after all.]]

** It just keeps happening. After already setting the bar pretty damn high at $121,778, the 2019 charity stream smashed that amount with a donation total of '''''$153,428''''' by the end of it all. Even more amazing is that by the end of the final day, the amount gained was more than doubled that of the first two days combined! Even more impressive is that Hootey mentioned the amount spent before reaching the July 25, 2019 deadline was over $200,000 for the first time at '''''$219,420'''''! And while we're on the subject with Hootey, he also announced the creation of Variety Is Hope, a new 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to fundraising for the betterment of online communities and causes that benefit the greater good. Truly the Vinesauce community can be considered awesome in their own rights for this one.

* Vinny utterly thrashed the Nihilego-fused version of Lusamine in the climax of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Pokémon Moon's]]'' story, a battle [[ThatOneBoss many players struggle with]], but Vinny was giggling the entire way. This came during a series of streams in which he needed help from the chat throughout most of the game in regard to Pokémon, types, moves, etc., and to see him stand tall in such a convincing fashion really shows how much he learned.

** Identically to [[WebVideo/GameGrumps Holly Conrad]], Vinny caught Tapu Koko ''right out the gate with a Quick Ball''. Which, for those not familiar with ''Pokémon'' mechanics, '''only has a 2% chance of occurring'''.[[note]]Tapu Koko has a catch rate of 3, meaning that it has only a 0.4% chance of being caught in a regular Poké Ball at full health; in Generations V, VI, and VII, the Quick Ball's probability of success is five times higher than a normal Poké Ball should it be thrown on the first turn of a battle, which Vinny did.[[/note]]

* Vinny's surprisingly impressive voice acting for [[spoiler:Porky Minch]] in ''VideoGame/Mother3'', perfectly capturing the character's childish insanity and egotism while being so separated from his normal voice you'd swear it wasn't Vinny talking if you didn't know otherwise.
