1* 1987:
2** Helen's portrait of Mrs. Mangel, which gives her a neck like a giraffe.
3** The first episode of Melanie Pearson (introduced as Henry's [[LoveInterest new girlfriend]]), in particular her AnnoyingLaugh and everyone's reaction to it, and the scene where everyone is looking over Scott and Charlene's wedding album and Henry starts talking about being ready to settle down, to Madge's genuine horror.
4* 1988:
5** In what would become a Ramsay Street tradition, Henry gets trapped outside No. 30 while hiding from Bronwyn's Aunt Edie, in nothing but a ModestyTowel. Which [[StrippingSnag gets stuck in the backdoor]], forcing him [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside to run back to No. 24 through the backyards]].
6* 1999:
7** The Full Monty, in which Amy convinces Drew, Joel, Karl, Toadie and Billy to perform a strip show at the pub to raise money for the hospital. It ends in disaster when Lou doesn't turn the lights off in time.
8* 2004:
9** Scott Timmins' introduction, {{streaking}} at a football match. Toadie sees him on TV and immediately recognises him as his cousin.
10* 2012:
11** As a prank, Connor challenges Toadie to a friendly boxing match so that he can glue two giant boxing gloves to his hands. Before Toadie can get them off, he's contacted about an important video call. Cue Connor and Lucas hiding behind Toadie's chair and filling in for his arms.
12* 2014:
13** Matt volunteers to [[PublicExposure model for a life drawing class]], on the basis that his wife Lauren was the only person who signed up. Lauren's father Lou [[TheBet makes a bet with her]] that Matt won't go through with it and then spread the word about the class, claiming to be worried that it will be cancelled because Lauren is the only one who signed up. As a result, when Matt steps out in a ModestyTowel, he is shocked to find that at least a dozen have turned up. Right when he's about to drop the towel, the fire alarm goes off (pulled by his son Bailey, having been alerted to Lou's prank) and they are forced to evacuate. He's still left thoroughly embarrassed, though, as he's [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside now trapped outside in a towel when Sheila refuses to let him go back inside for his clothes]] until the fire brigade has declared the building safe.
14* 2016:
15** Paul is put under house arrest after being charged with the boiler sabotage at Lassiters and receiving a complaint for harassing a witness, and Mark tells him that he's being forced to wear a [[TrackingDevice tracking anklet]]. In a nicely subtle ContinuityNod, Paul offers him his ''prosthetic'' leg. Mark almost falls for it, but catches on and silently glares at Paul until he puts his good leg out. "Worth a try."
16* Out of Canon:
17** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv_o6MRDsiY EastErinsborough]]'', a parody video made as a tribute to ''Series/EastEnders'''s 30th anniversary. Susan is knocked unconscious after slipping on spilled milk (again) and has a dream where everyone is talking in cockney accents: Paul is Phil Mitchell, Sheila is Peggy Mitchell, Paige and Naomi are Zoe and Kat Slater, recreating the "You ain't my mother!" "''[[FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo Yes I am!]]''" scene (despite Paige and Naomi not being related ''at all'', which Lauren points out), and Karl is Den Watts, recreating the scene where Den served Angie with divorce papers in the 1986 Christmas episode.
18-->'''Karl''': This, my sweet, is a letter from my solicitor telling you your husband has filed a petition for divorce.\
19'''Susan''': Again?!\
20'''Karl''': Happy Christmas, Susie.\
21'''Susan''': It's ''February'', Karl!
