1* AccidentalAesop: The episode "WORST PRANK Ever Played On Me!!" ultimately shows why {{nepotism}} is unhelpful in finding work and why you still need to work hard for what you want, even if you have a natural talent, because you need to develop the necessary character qualities to accept that life isn't fair and that you won't always get what you want. Medusa's students were only successful because their teacher played favorites and always chose them to perform on stage. But when a different teacher was picked to lead the play, they were quickly forced to work backstage because none of them learned how to sing well enough for the play and it was also revealed that none of them knew how to use theatre technology because Medusa kept choosing them for acting roles. As a result, these students never truly worked for their roles in theatre and could not accept their backstage jobs gracefully, causing them to lash out by creating on-set pranks that could have ruined the play for everyone else.
2* AwesomeEgo: Whenever she's on stage, Rebecca ditches all sense of modesty and becomes a complete show-off who loves making herself the center of attention, but she does it with so much passion that it's hard not to be awestruck by her performances, especially since she's very humble in her downtime.
3* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments:
4** Rebecca finally gathering her courage to leave Medusa's classes and cut ties from her toxic influences. It helps that allegorically, we see a peasant!Rebecca holding "Queen" Medusa's cape before [[TheDogBitesBack throwing it over Medusa's head in frustation]].
5*** Also, Rebecca being the bigger person by showing no ill will towards Medusa years later, even recognizing that [[{{Reconstruction}} her previous experience with Medusa unwittingly prepared her for her murderous college teacher E]].
6** The "Almost Run over by a Car" video ends with 'Broom-stache' being [[LaserGuidedKarma pulled over for what we can presume to be speeding]] not long after he nearly runs over Rebecca.
7** In "Bitten While Defending A Friend", Millie [[MoralEventHorizon steals Greg's personal journal]] and starts reading it in the girl's locker room, knowing full well [[TheFettered Greg]] can't run in to stop her. Rebecca, recognizing how [[EverybodyHasStandards wrong]] this is[[note]]given a troubled kid like Greg would have written [[DudeNotFunny some pretty dark content in there]], [[FridgeHorror and was in danger of being spilled out]][[/note]], she takes a stand! Yes it resulted in getting [[BullyBrutality bitten]] by Millie (and she did [[AllCrimesAreEqual get demerits]] for her troubles), but it doesn't change that she did [[ValuesResonance the right thing]]. Afterwards, Millie never bothers either her or Greg again.
8*** Heck, Rebecca's mother gets one for confronting the unfair middle school principal when she learns Rebecca was unfairly punished for the "crime" of standing up to Millie and getting bitten for her troubles.
9---->'''Mama Parham:''' EXPLAIN YOURSELF, '''''KNAVE!!!'''''
10%%* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Whenever Rebecca sings.
11* CrossesTheLineTwice:
12** Rebecca being flipped over on a porch swing and [[TheToothHurts smashing her mouth in]]? Not funny. Framing it as a SlowMotionFall while "[[OminousLatinChanting Ave Maria]]" blares in the background? Okay, ''now'' it's funny.
13** In "My Grievances with Medieval Times (the dinner show)", Rebecca explains how both [[UsefulNotes/AncientEgyptianHistory Egypt]] and [[UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom Britain]] ''used'' to have queens, pushing "too soon" on the latter as far as possible.
14--->'''Rebecca:''' They had [[UsefulNotes/CleopatraVII a queen]], and ''they'' had [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethII a queen]]! ''(SmashCut to Rebecca playing cards with Egypt and Britain)'' But I don't got any queens, so [[{{Pun}} go fish]]!
15* EnsembleDarkHorse:
16** Rebecca's crazy theatre teacher, [[SadistTeacher Medusa]], despite being a ManipulativeBitch of the highest caliber, grew to be prime LoveToHate material amongst the fandom, with any videos surrounding her being considered some of the most entertaining content Rebecca has put out.
17** The comments section on "My Teacher Murdered Someone" shows a ''very'' vocal love for Rebecca's college friend, [[BadassBystander Mary]], noting that Rebecca had a high probability of [[FridgeHorror being murdered by E]], had it not been for Mary being a witness to their conversation. Some fans went so far as to call her the ''real'' [[TheHero hero]] of the story.
18** The titular [[{{Clerk}} crotchety storage lady]] and [[CuteButCacophonic Fifi]] are popular characters for not only providing [[AlmightyMom Rebecca's mom]] ADayInTheLimelight, but also for providing hilarious {{Seinfeldian Conversation}}s on the levels of [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Roz]].
19** Henry the ToothFairy from "My Terrible Mouth Accident" quickly became a OneSceneWonder thanks to how much RefugeInAudacity he provided with his {{Genre Savv|y}}iness in knowing that the characters in Rebecca's videos have no mouths. His hilarious performance from [[WebVideo/TryHards Eddie Bowley]] certainly helped his reputation among fans.
20** Greg from "Bitten While Defending A Friend" garnered a [[JerkassWoobie lot of sympathy]] from viewers for being NotEvilJustMisunderstood with a DarkAndTroubledPast, and rose to being a fan-favorite for showing how far Rebecca was willing to go to prevent [[TheBully Milly]] from making him cross the DespairEventHorizon.
21** The street performer playing [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Ready Freddy Fiddlesticks]] in "Disney Street Performers Pick On Me AGAIN!" garnered a lot of love for his accurate animation representation, his [[DoggedNiceGuy flirtatious attitude towards Rebecca]], and his absolute flattery in being drawn by her which he was happy to autograph for her in return.
22* LoveToHate: Even though [[SadistTeacher Medusa]] was a ManipulativeBitch who led Rebecca on for 4 whole years, the fact that her villainy is exaggerated in Rebecca's videos, she had the guts to shamelessly [[BullyingADragon piss off Rebecca's mother]], Rebecca is still willing to humor her [[InsaneTrollLogic insane]] "headspace theory", ''and'' [[LaserGuidedKarma karma managed to catch up with her]] and get her fired has made Medusa a fan-favorite for just how much of a lunatic she is. It also helps that, unlike [[EvilTeacher E]], she never murdered anyone.
23* MemeticMutation: An old animation of Rebecca's went viral for... well, reasons you can [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H4158YaFqxw see for yourself]].
24-->"You can't just give me the words 'big caboose' and expect me to do nothing!"
25* {{Moe}}: Much of the characters, especially Rebecca herself, due to how she animates them with no mouth. It comes off as rather adorable.
26* SelfFanservice: There are a few fanarts that depict Rebecca in a more.... sexual manner, to say the least.
27* TearJerker:
28** Rebecca still feeling guilty years after she accidentally hurt her younger brother.
29** There's something sad about seeing high school!Rebecca endure four years of being psychologically manipulated by [[SadistTeacher Medusa]].
30** In "Bitten While Defending A Friend", young Rebecca being punished merely for [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished standing up to the bully Millie]], a [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome realistic]] and sadly familiar consequence of the [[AllCrimesAreEqual Zero Tolerance Policy]].
31** Her "Draw My Life" video has two instances of this:
32*** Failing computer animation class during her sophomore year of college, which ended up getting her kicked out of the major entirely. It certainly didn't help that Rebecca had been dealing with the death of her grandmother prior to the start of the school year.
33*** The increasing anxiety and stress she experienced as a result of "Post-Ringling Depression"[[note]]a common feeling among Ringling College students when they feel they haven't lived up to the school's standards after graduating[[/note]], culminating with the untimely death of her father from a heart attack in November 2014. Fortunately, she goes on to explain that if anything, the tragedy helped her release all of the pent-up emotion she had been experiencing.
34* TheWoobie: Rebecca's childhood experiences of being bullied and struggling with self-esteem and anxiety problems make her this.
