** The narrator cracks up on the line "Are fanfiction.net's standards just too high for you?"
** One comment featured in ''[=YouTube=] Comments'' is simply "poop poop", and it's made by a "90sKid1998". The humor comes from William T. Sopp (the reader for that comment) completely collapsing with laughter at the absurdity of it.

** Jello has openly expressed that he's not proud of the Welcome to Tumblr episode, including a disclaimer in a pinned comment:
--->'''Jello''': When “Welcome to Tumblr” came out the video blew up thanks to a heated negative response. It got a lot of hate comments. And y’know what? Fair enough! The wording is bad and a lot of the jokes are. Uh. SUPER bad. There are some bits and pieces I still like about the video, but most of the gags make me wince and say “Wow, I cannot BELIEVE that chose to phrase that joke that way.”

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: As Jello later revealed, he used ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' music, which isn't fair use, as he initially assumed. So Creator/{{Viacom}} has been stealing most of the money he would've gained from these videos.

* DeletedScene: ''Fanfiction.net'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wttKTdvqH0s a video]] showing off several of them:
** Two more fanfics were going to be used in the main video, but were cut and aren't as touched up art-wise. The first demonstrates AlternateUniverseFic, with a crude HighSchoolAU of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. The second demonstrates PurpleProse, using a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fic that's extremely verbose and contains an very stupid-looking OC species.
** Also deleted was a short scene about {{Foreshadowing}}, or rather, how to butcher foreshadowing. [[RunningGag Poor Nathan doesn't get a break here, either]].
* FanTranslation: Some for ''Youtube'' and ''Tumblr''. Jello is more than fine with it.
