** In the Takoyaki and Ebiyaki video, Francis plugs a video from emmymadeinjapan that shows how to make takoyaki using a cake pop maker, and immediately follows that up with an admission that he has a crush on her.
---> '''Francis, VO:''' "She is an adorable lady, [[InterspeciesRomance and if I were not a toy poodle, I would have asked her out on a date]]."
** In the video about boiling fresh octopus, Francis explains that the octopus arm needs to be rubbed down with coarse salt to remove the slime on the outside. However, people who live in coastal areas where octopus is caught have an alternative method of removing this slime.
---> '''Francis, VO:''' "Interestingly enough, some locals use a laundry machine as a dedicated octopus cleaner. They say washing machines remove the gooey coating quickly, and also tenderize the meat. Please do not try this at your local public laundry."
* TearJerker: It was sad watching, for some time, Francis obviously getting older and unable to work in the (admittedly, leisurely) conditions he needed to for this show - he was sleeping much more often, taking two week breaks between episodes, filler was made using a Francis plush, and some "episodes" were just Chef playing with Francis. But then... ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-tPcVb3anI "Our host, Francis passed away on November 6th in the afternoon. He was 14 years and 9 months old and lived a full, happy life. Over the past 9 years, he was loved by viewers all over the world and we would like to thank you for your kindness and support. Francis was the happiest dog we have ever met and he brought us so many good memories. He was a good friend and will be missed."]]''
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywr3CAUpGs8 The following episode]] somehow makes it all worse. It opens with a note saying that it was filmed before Francis passed away, and Chef introduces the aforementioned Francis plush as Francis' substitute for the episode, as the real one isn't feeling well. This already is enough to hurt, but then Chef's last line: ''"Get well soon, Francis."'' is delivered with such optimism and enthusiasm... and knowing that he will not get well at all... is devastating. You'll find that the comments are almost exclusively reserved for noting how heartbreaking this is.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISGnoc_cXA4 Iri Dofu]] episode features Francis's bed on its stool like usual... and sitting inside it is a framed photo of Francis looking adoringly at Chef. Not helped by the introduction being taken from a much earlier episode showing Francis alive and well, or using Francis' voice for the narration as they usually would.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtSPaYSzOkc Green Tea Mochi]] episode also features a photo of Francis propped up in his old bed. The heartbreaking part doesn't hit until the end, when Chef turns to Francis's photo and cheerfully tells him dessert is ready.
** Pretty much any video that directly references Francis after his death or references how he's not around anymore is a TearJerker for the comments section. Another example comes in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxTI66ZR_JE Gyukatsu]] episode, right after the aforementioned Green Tea Mochi.
---> '''Francis, VO:''' "Mmmm. This tastes like heaven. (beat) Well, as a matter of fact, I'm supposed to be in heaven now. Good luck in the kitchen!"
