* After sitting through the torture of the ''Star Wars'' prequels ''and'' the Holiday Special, the gang admits in the opening of ''The Force Awakens'' that Lucasfilm got rid of all the crap that weighed down the prequels and finally made a good ''Star Wars'' movie again.

* As they go through the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' saga, it becomes clear that they are progressively getting fonder and fonder of Charlie Swan, aka [[FanNickname Mustache Dad]]. At the start, they hit him with some of their usual jokes about his mustache, his alcoholism, and his possible homosexuality, but by the end, their riffs become playful teasing and their love for his character is as genuine as their enjoyment of the Volturi's [[LargeHam hamminess]].

** In the riff for ''Glitter'', Mary Jo dishes out some SelfDeprecation, only for Mike to quickly jump in and throw in some harsher jokes at his own expense. A small but otherwise kind defense of a friend.

* During the live show of ''ManosTheHandsOfFate,'' [[EnsembleDarkhorse Torgo's]] first appearance is greeted by applause from the audience. Remember, this was the actor's only role, and he tragically committed suicide shortly afterwards. Now his very appearance draws cheers.
** And anytime Torgo gets a mention in a live show, it gets cheers. When they did it during the Film/SantaClausConquersTheMartians, the guys basically state they're pandering to the fans. That's how beloved he is by Rifftrax fans.
