* In one of the later ones, Ask That Guy comes out ''normal'' and yells about what the hell is happening, then the screen goes off and he gets grabbed and drugged to be his usual self. It's both sad and horrifying and interesting.

* Due to HarsherInHindsight (in the episode he acts like it's just a joke, but later episodes show he really is that broken and he dies alone), the venting in episode 14 about how lonely he is.

* In episode 23, Ask That Guy ripping into his ChildByRape who wants to see him again.
-->'''ATG''': Truth of the matter is... [in angry tone] I was raped. She forced me to swallow a case of viagra, shoved me onto her body and made me thrust over and over and over. It was a horrifying experience that I will never forget. And you were a mistake. A horrible mistake. And in answer to your questions; why did I run away? Because I was scared shitless. Where's your child support? I spent it all on hookers. And why did I put you up for adoption? Because abortion was too expensive. I don't love you! And whatever hell you have to face in the afterlife is too good.

** His actual death is very DroppedABridgeOnHim (which is heartbreaking in of itself) and just a way to move the site but he goes back to his old location to do the finale episode and actually has affection for it. It's really sad in a nostalgic way.

* When he uses reverse psychology on all the hipsters telling them to "not shoot themselves" and they all do so, he declares he loves his job, however, when he's then asked the question "Do you love your job?" He suddenly breaks down in distraught tears showing he feels genuinely guilty that he just made a bunch of people commit suicide and declares he doesn't want to live. Then he goes back to being his calm and collected self saying every once in a while he does have a real human emotion, but he'll always kill it with hatred.

* In episode 50, the narrator sobbing pathetically when Ask That Guy leaves after an argument. Ends up surprisingly heartwarming though.
