* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The M&M's Minis seem to be a bizarre form of DeathSeeker, given their tagline-indicated act of "searching for a mouth". Thus, their wild behavior could be seen as them living it up before their fated deaths via consumption-which definitely makes them differ from the Spokescandies that fear being eaten. (Then again, they also act chaotic in order to draw "mouths" in the first place). And if they really are DeathSeekers, then Red and Yellows' constant attempts to capture them may seem less like trying to stop them from becoming a nuisance and more like keeping them from hurting themselves.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: The 2013 Super Bowl advert "Devour" features a female associate of Ms. Brown warning her that a female friend loses control around chocolate. Ms. Brown sets up Red with said female friend, who then locks Red in her car and attacks him in a manner [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything disturbingly evocative of this trope]].

** In "Kaleidoscope", the ever-paranoid Crispy is shown relaxing for what may be the first time in his life.
** "Shiver" reveals the two were just in a grocery store freezer the entire time rather than a frozen wasteland. But seeing Red show actual concern for Yellow, whom he frequently insults and kicks around, is touching.
** HoYay aside, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4qylhuULbY Yellow's Australian "Back for Good" music video]] was really sweet. The same can be said for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqlwhTZ1Fg0 the Russian version.]]
** The latest Christmas commercial. Santa faints upon seeing Red and Yellow. Red faints too...and after Santa doesn't come to, Yellow realizes it's up to him to save Christmas. Cut to the next morning, and Yellow delivered them all...to the wrong houses. Yellow hangs his head, lamenting, "I ruined Christmas didn't it?" But then, they see that while everyone did get the wrong presents...it also brought people together, as they take to the streets to seek out the true owners.
-->'''Red:''' ''(To Yellow)'' No, buddy...I think you made it better.

* UncannyValley: The M&M's sometimes fall into this. Especially when they're animated with teeth and more human features.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Steven Spielberg approached Mars to have M&Ms be the candy that [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]] would munch on. They declined, not thinking the movie would be big enough to move their product. Spielberg then made the same pitch to Hershey, who accepted, and the movie single-handedly put their Reese's Pieces on the map.
