** Graham did not crash. [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]] crashed.

* ''Desert Bus 2021'' also broke the 1 million total and then some, raising $1,223,108 after merch sales. To this day it's the most successful and longest campaign.

* ''Desert Bus 2021'' also broke the 1 million total and then some, raising $1,189,143.
* ''Desert Bus 2022'' again broke the 1 million total and then some, though slightly less than the year before: $1,138,003.

** In ''[=DBFH2=]'', donations were made to make Matt see ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. He had to see it four times in total. The next year, he [[TemptingFate pledged to see New Moon as many times as possible during a day]] if the donation total rose to 100K. He had to see it six times in all.

''And'' the bus veers slightly to the right, requiring constant player supervision.

* MemeticMutation:[[invoked]] They reference a lot of memes, thanks to the participation from the online chat. The ''LRR'' crew is constantly 'appoint', [[JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} Rick-rolls]] and [[JustForFun/CaramelldansenVid Carmelldansen]] pop up from time to time, and ''Desert Bus 4'' introduced their helpful [[StarWars Bothans, many of which have died to help the childrens.]]

* ''Desert Bus 2020'', despite being held remotely due to ongoing UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, was the first to break the 1 million total - raising $1,052,902[[note]]the oryginally reported total was $986,793, but merch sales brought additional 65 grand[[/note]] and bringing the lifetime total to over $7,000,000.

* ''Desert Bus 2020'', despite being held remotely due to ongoing UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, raised even more - $986,793, bringing the lifetime total to over $7,000,000.

* ManlyTears: The ending of ''De5ert Bus''. Graham just couldn't hold it in and most of the cast went with him. Except for James cause he's a dick.

** DB10 had a few of them (possibly because it was 2016, a memetically crappy year - not to mention the year of the first known instance of an LRR cast member dying). In addition to Alex's speech, there was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcglLyiFhkc Paul's wavery-voiced tribute to Leonard Cohen]], a recently deceased hero of his.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: [[InUniverse Used deliberately]] in 2019 with the "Hamfather" sketch, where a waiter would suddenly show up with a slab of ham and serve some to everyone present while music from ''Film/TheGodfather'' played in the background. This repeated several times with slight variations--once with live musicians!--but no one ever acted like it was unusual, and once the ham-serving ended they went straight back to what they were doing as if nothing happened. No one on-set even acknowledged the existence of this bit until after the last "episode," when they explained the whole concept.

* CreepyDoll: [[http://desertbus.org/2011/11/23/creepy-doll-art-contest/ The one and only.]]
