1* ArchivePanic: Each run is recorded as well as streamed, so even if you didn't happen to watch the whole thing life the highlights are meticulously uploaded and sorted into playlists on the official [=YouTube=] channel. Some playlists are mutli-year, so you could theoretically follow the evolution of various gags across the years. If that's not enough, the Video Strike Team also provides a torrent of the full stream - yes, a multi-day torrent so you could theoretically comb over ''everything'' that happened in one year. That's nearly 2500 hours of ''Bus''!
2* DracoInLeatherPants: "ALL HAIL KROZE, KEEPER OF THE BANHAMMER!!!" He even showed up in person for the fourth one.
3* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
4** Several times, there were cases of people winning an expensive auction, only to gift the item to someone else. Example: [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries LittleKuriboh]] returning Kroze's Ham Banner after buying it for $1500.
5** In [=DBFH5=], not one, but ''two'' auction rewards were to be kept with WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun until such time as they ceased making videos. The first was one of the uncut sheets of TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering playing cards, and the other was the giant creepy doll that the crew had grown increasingly fond of throughout the run.
6* MemeticBadass: For ''[=DBFH3=]'', we have:
7** Octopimp, the Winner of Auctions. ("When Octopimp isn't bidding, it's because he's fighting Creator/ChuckNorris.")
8*** Once donated $2777 in one go to win a set of Scott Pilgrim books. And the chat went wild!
9*** From ''[=DBFH4=]'' A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdfsNy3ZfmY tribute.]]
10** Kroze, of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', wielding his banhammer, Hambanner. It thirsts for blood.
11* MemeticMutation: Due to the event basically being a pressure cooker of shenanigans, a [[https://wiki.loadingreadyrun.com/index.php/Desert_Bus_Lexicon lexicon]] has been established on the LRR wiki to track the various memes that crop up each year, noting which ones last into further years as well. Graham has noted that any given meme has an average "half-life" of one and a half years; some last for a long time, some completely take over a given run and then are never seen again, still others get actively retired as time passes and are deemed no longer in good taste.
12** "For the children" and "Booray!" are evergreen. Also, the auctions have picked up several different mile markers over the years: $300 = 1 madness; $1000 = 1 myth busted; $5000 = 1 houseboat; $10,000 = 1 Notch. Later on, every time the live auction record got broken, it's been promptly christened with the name of the bidder who set the record.
13** ''DBFH 2: [[Film/DieHard Bus Harder]]'': "[[Film/MarathonMan Is it safe?]]"
14** ''DBFH 3'': "Son, we are very appoint." (appoint: the contrary of disappoint)
15*** [[KickTheDog Things Matt Did]]. Matt is the reason the bus leans. [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Matt is the reason it had to be snakes]]. Two Twitter accounts and the chat filled with such jokes, until Matt [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9mF3mISUeo redeemed himself]].
16** DBFH 4: Bill's Magic Pocket, Bothans, "Dear [title] X..."
17*** "Play ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', Watch ''Series/{{Top Gear|UK}}'', Get Pig."
18*** [[MemeticMutation WHAAAAAAARGARBBBBBBBLLLLL]]
19*** How is your pig? Also "Sweetening the Pig"
20** DBFH 5: AAAAAAAAAFRIIIIIIIIIICAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
21*** Iron Mang
22*** WELL DONG!
23*** Myth Busted
24*** DAMMIT MATT (Named for Dammit Liz and see above)
25*** Continued Mutation of the previous year: "Sweden, the Pig"
26*** Space Bid! (Bidding oneself up in an auction)
27** DBF 2023: On a [[https://youtu.be/LDU_Txk06tM?si=Xh1bZjFHMqvoXkq2 crab note]]...
28*** Little pinch?
29* MostWonderfulSound:
30** The honk of the bus getting a point.
31** Starting with ''Desert Bus 10'': "You have found the Full Song Random Dance Party."
