** June 2nd's video, simply titled ''Black Lives Matter: Resources and How You Can Help'', forwent the usual gags and even the opening chant, simply being a silent title card reading "Black Lives Matter", with the urge to spend the length of the video taking action. The video was exactly 8 minutes and 46 seconds long, mirroring the amount of time George Floyd spent dying.

* BrokenBase: There's some differing opinions on Unus Annus.
** Is the message behind the channel a powerful reminder to cherish what we have in this world before it’s gone? Or is it just pretentious and comes across as more deep than it is? You’ll find people who say either one of these things. Then there are discussions on whether the channel’s gimmick cool or stupid. People who say the former will often cite the fact that an experimental channel that only lasts a year is a unique concept that stands out from other [=YouTube=] channels. People who say the latter will often say that creating a channel whose sole goal is to be erased after a year defeats the purpose of putting something on the internet in the first place. The two discussions often overlap, creating 4 main mindsets towards Unus Annus.
*** One group says that they are fine with the message but disagree with the gimmick, with one comparison being made that it’s the equivalent of getting rid of all mementos of a person after they have died and thought the message would have been better achieved if the channel was never touched again.
*** A second group of people say they like the gimmick but dislike the message, saying that they like that Unus Annus is something unique in the sea of rather formulaic [=YouTube=] content, but don’t care for the message, feeling it contrasts too heavily with the more absurdist tone of the content (especially when they’ve done a ''Pee Sauna'' video).
*** A third group people say they dislike the gimmick ''and'' the message, saying that Unus Annus videos are nothing more than just Markiplier challenge videos with a timer slapped onto them and the decision to delete them means that the year’s worth of effort that went into making the channel was ultimately wasted.
*** Finally, there are people who like the message ''and'' the gimmick, finding it’s message to be powerful and its gimmick as something unique.

** The "Goodbye" livestream finale had a near constant viewership of around 600,000 to 700,000 for most of the show, which is rather remarkable when you consider the time zone differences worldwide; the show began at noon and ended at midnight, Pacific Standard Time. During the final hour of the show - and of the channel's existence - the viewership rapidly ballooned to ''over 1.5 million''.

** While the subject of “We Got Pepper-Sprayed” isn’t heartwarming, most of the video is. Mark comforts Ethan beforehand, seeing how scared he is, and lets him get water first. The security team that pepper-sprays them is also super friendly and funny while remaining professional.

The video is exactly 8 minutes and 46 seconds long, mirroring the amount of time George Floyd spent dying.
** When the channel began, it was a RunningGag that Mark would say "Don't touch me" whenever Ethan would touch him. After Ethan makes Mark cry towards the end of the Brutally Honest video, he reaches over and rubs Mark's wrist, telling Mark he loves him, with Mark saying it back as he tries to get himself back together so they can finish the video.
** Near the end of the 12-hour "Goodbye" livestream, Mark, Ethan, and Amy each lie in the coffin they had custom-made while the others give truly heartfelt eulogies. They end up crying and hugging each other, while also snarking that they're getting tears all over their new coffin.

The whole time, Mark is repeating that "[[MadnessMantra the grip was loose]]", and how Ethan was clearly trying to trick him. When Ethan comes into the room, he seems genuinely unnerved and terrified, as if Mark really had lost his mind.

However, at one point one of Mark's "punches" clearly shows him missing Ethan's face.
