* The early ''[[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'' videos were very simple {{Machinima}}s of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' of very low quality that are very different from what [=SMG4=] does today due to lower budgets. Sometimes it also used other ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' games from the [[UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 N64]] era like ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'' and the early VideoGame/MarioParty games.

* ''Puff it to the Limit'' is a strange example. While its first three episodes gradually swapped out subtitles in favor of speech bubbles for the dialogue, the pixel animation and audio remained polished throughout. However, it soon became taxing for the series creator modnaryug to make video episodes on a regular basis, due to more elaborate action scenes and increasing dialogue ([[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder as well as shifting focus to various small video request projects]]), so the medium switched to text-only stories with the occasional standalone gif from episode 4 onwards.

* During the closing credits of the first episode of ''Paramount Logo Bloopers'', Microsoft Mike bleeps out Sam's use of "shit" before saying that "this is a family show". (The same episode also has a bleep that [[BleepDammit doesn't even cover up]] WebVideo/TheTourettesGuy shouting "fuck" in the opening sequence.) The show would quickly drop the "family show" label and, as the show developed its own running gags that differentiated it from its inspiration, ''WebAnimation/LooneyTunesIntroBloopers'', heavy usage of uncensored swearing became a RunningGag.

The remastered version still has a bleep, but Mike no longer says "this is a family show"; he only says that he "had to do that".

* ''WebAnimation/FallenKingdom'': The song in the first installment, "Fallen Kingdom", is a spoof of a Music/{{Coldplay}} song. The others are all original.

* The pilot of ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' has a few noticeable departures from the rest of the show. The episode is structured far more like an episode of ''Series/TheOfficeUS'', with characters discussing things and [[CutawayGag suddenly cutting to what they were talking about]][[note]]at one point having a cutaway gag ''inside'' of a cutaway gag[[/note]], when this is nowhere present in the show proper and the episodes follow a more conventional narrative outline. There was also much more inter-company hostility at I.M.P, with Moxxie acting more like an OnlySaneMan to Blitzo's idiocy and Millie and Loona's hotheadedness. Finally, Stolas was portrayed as Blitzo's AbhorrentAdmirer who seemed have a more dominant and authoritative personality, while in the show itself he is more of a victim of unrequited love in addition to being submissive and easily manipulated.

There was The main characters are also much more inter-company hostility at I.M.P, nothing like they are in the show. Blitzo is an incompetent moron rather than a killing savant afraid to show emotional vulnerability. Millie is an impulsive airhead rather than the well-adjusted, emotionally-grounding force in a cast full of psychopathy, emotional trauma, and daddy issues. Loona isn't a troubled young woman with Moxxie acting more like an a heart of gold lashing out at a world that doesn't view her as a real person. She's every bit the horrid, despicable person she portrays herself as complete with assaulting a ''baby'' to blow off steam. Moxxie's respect for Blitzo is totally absent and his frustration with his usual antics is dialed up into full-blown hostility, being portrayed as the OnlySaneMan to Blitzo's idiocy and Millie and Loona's hotheadedness. Finally, balance out the other three members. Lastly, Stolas was portrayed as Blitzo's is a supervillain who orders a hit on an anti-Climate Change politician for the explicit purpose of causing more people to die from Climate Change. His relationship with Blitzo is much more of the bog-standard AbhorrentAdmirer who seemed have a more dominant and authoritative personality, while variety rather than the genuine love, albeit one rife with toxicity from both ends, the two would go on to share. There's also the fact that some elements of the pilot don't make sense in the show itself he is more context of a victim future episodes, most notably IMP returning the body of unrequited love in addition one of their targets by opening a portal to the living world live on National TV, when it's later emphasized that the secrecy of Hell being submissive maintained is paramount, even being the foundation of the plot in ''Truth Seekers''. The pilot makes so little sense in the context of the rest of the series that [[CanonDiscontinuity Vivziepop threw the baby out with the bathwater and easily manipulated.straight up declared the pilot non-canon]].

* ''WebAnimation/AnimatorVsAnimation'''s very first installment in 2006 was limited to the Flash interface, as opposed to future entries that went to the desktop and beyond. It also starred the fairly generic and [[BadassNormal powerless]] victim, who would not be seen again until ''Animator vs. Animation VI'', a whole 17 years later. The next two installments were a little more closer to the modern era, with the Chosen One becoming a recurring character down the line, but it was definitely around ''Animator vs. Animation IV'' in 2014, which debuted the Second Coming and the Fighting Stick Figures, that the series coalesced into what it is today.

* The first episodes of ''WebAnimation/InanimateInsanity'' look drastically different than later episodes (not to mention the fact that [=MePhone=] sounded exactly like [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Chris McLean]]). When it was released, the fandom thought that it was a terrible attempt to [[FollowTheLeader emulate]] the earlier ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland''. With time, the show found its own way and, together with BFDI, made way to numerous "object shows".

* ''WebOriginal/CatGhost'' has some really odd things before CerebusSyndrome hit like a brick. Narrah and Elon were giant Jerkass who taunted Gideon instead of the concerned impatient mother figure and GenkiGirl JerkWithAHeartOfGold CuteGhostGirl they are known as later. Narrah was a bit of a narcissist. And they both had GlowingEyesOfDoom. Meanwhile Gideon is more of an everyman and not the EmoTeen older brother figure he was in later videos. They weren't even established as living in the cabin and could go more places living in a random street corner. It was also implied Narrah and Elon lived in Video is head.
