Season 1
- While the whole server was in turmoil over all of the events surrounding the L'Manburg Election, MrBeast logged onto the server, and hid a chest containing a 10,000 dollar gift card to Taco Bell. Everyone immediately dropped everything they were doing to go look for it.
- At one point, there were so many people online that the server couldn't handle it and stopped loading chunks entirely.Techno: dream your server is trash
Techno: booo
Techno: cringe - The thumbnail for Techno's stream was just white, with black text reading "NO TIME FOR THUMBNAIL I NEED TACO BELL".
- Sapnap found a chest that he believed to have the prize, not knowing Eret had found it earlier. So Sapnap celebrates for a bit, before reading the message, "Haha, you're dumb. It's been found." Dream and Karl promptly start laughing like crazy.
- At one point, there were so many people online that the server couldn't handle it and stopped loading chunks entirely.
- Everything about Drista, Dream's younger sister, who he allows to play on the server with Tommy for a bit.
- The simple fact that Drista can match Tommy's rude comments beat for beat. You can tell he doesn't quite know how to handle someone giving him a taste of his own medicine.
- Tommy makes some ridiculous faces when Dream tells him that his sister watches Tommy's streams.
- The first thing she does once she gains control of Dream's character is beat Tommy up with an axe. She continues doing this for a while.
- At one point, while talking to Dream, Tommy jokingly tells him to hit Drista. Cue a loud smacking noise coming from Dream's end.Tommy: OH GOD, NONONONONO, TWITCH, TWITCH, I'M SURE THAT WAS A JOKE, PLEASE DON'T BAN ME, PLEASE DON'T BAN ME–
- Followed, of course, by the most classic of sibling arguments.Dream: The joke is that they think that I hit you, because I made it look like I hit you.
Drista: You did hit me.
Dream: No, I did not! NO! N-WHAT?! I DID NOT– DISQUALIFIED, I DID NOT, I DID NOT!
- Followed, of course, by the most classic of sibling arguments.
- At one point, Dream takes back his headset to give Drista a tour of the server, meaning Drista can't talk to Tommy anymore.
Season 2
- The return of Drista during Tommy's Exile was, of course, hilarious.
- To prevent her from dying and losing all of Dream's gear, Drista is in Creative mode the entire time. Tommy was given no heads-up, and is thus wholly unprepared when Drista flies in and starts breaking parts of his base.
- Drista continually punches holes in Tommy's nether bridge in an attempt to send him falling into lava, but ends up walking into her own holes and falling... several times.
- She proceeds to pretty much ruin the server's economy by giving Tommy and Tubbo a piece of bedrock, and accidentally giving Punz a shulker box. It's when she's seconds away from handing Techno an Elytra that Dream manages to stop her.
- The Running Gag of Tommy encouraging Drista to stab Dream in the eye with a fork.
- Tommy constantly tries to goad Drista into using her admin abilities to give him more power. When she refuses to make him a server operator, Tommy tells her to type /ban Dream.Drista: I'm not banning myself!
Tommy: (laughs) It's not you, you're Drista! Don't– You're having an identity crisis, it's okay! Puberty does these things to you, I thought I was Tom Cruise for like a whole week!- Drista finally agrees... and then bans Techno.Techno: You're so bad at spellin'. So bad at spellin'. None of those letters were the same at all.
- Drista then proceeds to ban Sam and Tubbo as well. While she manages to unban Sam and Techno, she fails to unban Tubbo, who spends the rest of Tommy's stream angrily spamming the chat.
- Drista finally agrees... and then bans Techno.
- At one point, while Tommy and Dream are arguing, Drista finds the first draft of "How To Sex 3". Tommy and Dream fly into a panic and immediately drop everything to stop her from reading it.
- After getting back to Logstedshire, Tommy mentions the time Dream cut off a part of Drista's hair. However, Drista said that never happened, and that Tommy is thinking of the wrong sister.Tommy: WOAH, WAITWAITWAITWAITWAIT, HOLD ON! The wrong–
Drista: Yeah, that's the other sister, that's not me.
(Beat)
Tommy: WHAT?!
Dream: I said when I was young, you probably weren't even born then!
Tommy: THERE'S TWO OF YOU?!
- To prevent her from dying and losing all of Dream's gear, Drista is in Creative mode the entire time. Tommy was given no heads-up, and is thus wholly unprepared when Drista flies in and starts breaking parts of his base.
- Corpse Husband joins the server and gets a tour from Karl Jacobs. Karl spends time talking about how he built everything and how the whole server essentially revolved around him. Also during this time, we see Corpse's skin — the cat Bingus that went viral earlier in 2020, wearing a Hooters outfit.
- Bad thought that with Tommy exiled, he could escape the curse words… then Quackity invited KSI and told him that Bad only communicated through curse words. Hilarity ensues.
- While KSI's class on sexual education is hilarious, it's even more funny that Bad was silent most of the time in the classroom, too fearful of KSI's repeated NSFW words.
- KSI relearning how to play Minecraft on the SMP before the sex-ed class.
- When KSI came across the nether portal in the Greater SMP, he went through it without hesitation, despite the fact that Quackity was warning him all the way that he was going to end up in Hell (since the Nether dimension is based around a Fire and Brimstone Hell setting) and that there were monsters in the Nether. On the other side, the two got ambushed by a medium-sized magma cube... to which KSI reacted by screaming and bolting back through the portal, leaving Quackity to kill the mob. Upon returning to the Overworld, the duo were greeted by the two small magma cubes that have spawned from the dead medium-sized one. Cue more screaming. And KSI trying to destroy the portal by breaking the obsidian with his bare hands, which would take over four minutes.
- Shortly afterward, during a second trip to the Nether, Quackity warned KSI against hitting a zombified piglin, because it would enrage all the zombified piglins in the dimension and trigger a Zerg Rush. KSI responded by leaving the zombified piglin alone... and then hitting a different one behind him, pushing it off the aerial bridge, and thus prompting another zombified piglin near the portal to attack him.
- Throughout this part of the tutorial, the fact that Quackity was being the Cloudcuckoolander's Minder in general (as KSI's "tourist"note ), since he is usually one of the resident Cloudcuckoolanders of the server.
- He then came across Ranboo, who stares at him intently and then riptide-tridents away. KSI started screaming that Ranboo was a wizard. And then when Ranboo was seen hovering over the portal area, both KSI and Quackity started screaming that he was flying, and KSI quickly tried to go through the nether portal again (despite it being declared a no-go zone after the last misadventure), claiming that it was better to be in there than in the Overworld. Quackity's response was to hit him away from the portal... accidentally killing KSI, who was on low health, in the process.
- Back at spawn, Dream gives an infuriated KSI a potion of strength and when Quackity finds them there, Dream tells KSI to kill Quackity in revenge for killing him. Cue the Benny Hill music.
- Quackity also asks KSI to give his chat advice. KSI's response is not to mastarbate too hard.
- During the sex-ed class itself, things get even more hysterical.
- The first topic KSI teaches is:KSI: Sex can happen in different ways — man on men, woman on woman, man on woman, and then you could also have men on men on women on women on women on men!
- The fact that throughout the class, the only competent student who knew anything about the topics being taught is Dream.
- The first topic KSI teaches is:
- At the end of the class, KSI gives a final test to the students and tells them to draw him, and punishes those who did badly, with some very... unorthodox punishments.
- George forgets to colour in KSI's face in his drawing, and is harshly told that he failed the class. When George brings up the fact that he was colourblind, KSI says that it changed everything... and continues to berate George, giving him a -1/10 and screaming that he hated colourblind people, to the point that George flees from the classroom.
- Antfrost makes an edit of KSI as Squidward, and is ushered out of the classroom to build a tall tower and jump from it, as punishment for "making fun of [him]". KSI claims that he was going to catch him, but "missed", killing Antfrost.
- Bad makes a Minecraft skin of KSI, who says that it was a 10/10... if he was blind... but considering that KSI wasn't blind... he gives it a 1/10. KSI then tells Bad to bring them all to the Nether or vice versa, and when that fails, Bad gets turned into a mouse (actually an endermite) and is beat to death by the other students.
- Karl asks where KSI's bald spot is on Fundy's drawing (which is said to actually look alright), and gets told to survive in the Nether for five minutes... and quickly dies from fall damage.
- Punz' drawing are two stick figures, a smiling one of himself, and a frowning one of KSI, who is depicted to be shorter than Punz. KSI nonchalantly tells Dream to turn Punz into a chicken. Another chicken is brought in, and George breeds the two chickens, producing a chick. That's right, a student gets made to actually have sex in the classroom, with the teacher declaring it "sexual education".
- Karl's drawing is a penis with a black-and-white picture of KSI at the very end. KSI inquires to where Karl is, but then Dream reminds him that Karl's probably in the Nether because he just died in the dimension.
- Niki draws a simplistic drawing of KSI's Minecraft skin (a default Alex skin), and flips it upside down to make KSI "69 himself". KSI declares that she wins.
- However, HBomb makes a similar drawing, and is declared to have copied Niki, with H responding that he had to cheat off of her because she was the best in the class. H is then punished as a "plagarizer" by being teleported into space.
- The fact that by the end of the class, only three people (Niki, Dream, George) pass the classnote , and four students have died by that point.
Season 3
- Phil, who was peacefully building a basement under his house, was suddenly messaged by Tommy to come upstairs. His stream, which had been pretty calm up until that point (if you don't count the time where he canonized his chat being a murder of crows that follows him around everywhere), immediately devolved into complete chaos.
- Phil got up to the surface, only to immediately see blocks placed everywhere and the snow on the front lawn completely messed up. KSI started punching him and Phil, now angry, immediately killed him.
- Tommy pulls Phil aside and asks him for help. The reason? BadBoyHalo's influence has gotten to KSI, and now he refuses to swear.
- Ranboo then steps out of his house, looks at KSI trying to fight his polar bear, then Ranboo himself, with his bare hands, while Tommy, Phil and Bad stand around looking sheepish, and decides he's going back inside.Ranboo: i hate this server
- Tommy pulls everyone into the room where Ranboo's cartographer villager lives and continues trying to get KSI to swear... and then Dream teleports in.Dream: I am out of prison!
(Tommy and Phil both crack up)
Bad: What?!
Tommy: Oh, hey, Dream! Dream, KSI is afraid of your fans, he's a big pussy, and I'm–
Bad: LANGUAGE!
Tommy: –trying to get Phil to make him swear again, but he's too afraid!
KSI: Make your fans love me, please!
Dream: Uh... (logs off) - Before they leave, KSI asks Dream to make him fly. Dream obliges, and KSI flies around for a little bit, amazed... before Dream undoes the command and KSI drops like a brick into the AAC's wheat farm, dying instantly.Dream: (laughing) He's discovered what gravity is!
- One of Phil's donations sums up the events as such:rnelody: They really just ran in, fucked up your lawn, yelled a bunch of swear words, broke out a convicted felon, then left.
- Later from Tommy's perspective, he holds KSI at bowpoint in the Nether, threatening that he had to swear or get shot into the lava lakes beneath him. When Bad tells him not to comply, Dream knocks Bad into the lava as he screams "LANGUAGE!".
- After teleporting back up, Dream and Bad respectively try to bribe KSI into swearing/not swearing.Dream: KSI, I will give you $1.
KSI: What, if I swear?
Dream: Yeah!
Bad: I-I'll give you $2 if you don't swear.
Tommy: I'll give you $3 if you swear.
Dream: (at the same time) Oh no, I'll give you $5! $5 if you swear.
Bad: I'll give you $10 if you don't.
Tommy: What the fuck...
Dream: $50! $50 if you swear...
KSI: This is pretty good...
Bad: $60 if you don't!
KSI: He plays a hard bargain...
Dream: A THOUSAND DOLLARS!
Tommy: WHAT? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, WHAT THE FUCK?
KSI: Okay, yep, alright, FUCK!
Dream: (overlapping) YEAH!!!
Bad: (overlapping) NO! LANGUAGE!- Despite getting the money, KSI still gets knocked into the lava regardless... by an infuriated BadBoyHalo. Even after Dream teleports him back up to safety, KSI just keeps jumping off the aerial bridges into the lava.
- Drista once again returns to the server to hang out with Tommy. As per usual, it's hilarious.
- Drista introduces herself like she normally does, by hitting Tommy off a cliff in an attempt to kill him. Tommy lands safely using a water bucket, but when Drista jumps off after him, she doesn't take fall damage due to being in Creative mode.Tommy: You didn't take any damage...
Drista: I can deal with the pain, Tommy. - At the start of the video, Tommy tells Drista that he needs seeds for his farm, since his food supply is running low. She gives him some, and the two go on their way. Later, as Tommy is showing Drista his secret chests, she decides to "help" him by filling every empty slot with stacks and stacks of seeds.
- Once Tommy learns that Dream isn't actually in the room, he once again tries to get Drista to give him OP. Again, she promptly kicks him from the server.
- Tommy shows Drista the prison at her request, telling her that her brother is supposed to be in there. In the middle of his story, Drista suddenly flies up and punches through the wall of the prison, accessing an out-of-bounds area. Tommy and Drista have a few moments of fun looking around at all the redstone... before they're suddenly interrupted.
- Dream angrily escorts Tommy back out of the prison after wrestling control of his account back from Drista, all the while scolding him for even letting her in.Dream: I told you before, there's only like a couple rules when you're messing around, and one of them is don't go in the prison!
Tommy: No, Dri– Nonono, Drista asked, she said, "Can we go in?", and I'm not gonna tell a poor–
Dream: And what did you say?! "Yes, we can go in?!"
(Beat)
Tommy: I'm not gonna tell an incredibly poor 13-year-old girl on her bro– her last legs, that no, she can't go and visit her dream... (giggle) place.
Dream: She– she asked me, "Can I use your computer?" And I was like, "Sure, you can use my computer, like, just don't do anything stupid." And she was like, "Okay!" And then I come back and she's playing with TommyInnit, in the prison somehow...
Tommy: Don't say my name like that, Dream, I'm more than just TommyInnit. Call me "sir".
(Beat)
Dream: (exasperated) Okay...
- Dream angrily escorts Tommy back out of the prison after wrestling control of his account back from Drista, all the while scolding him for even letting her in.
- After meeting with Ranboo, Tommy tries to get Drista to deafen so he can talk to Ranboo alone, insisting they're not gonna talk about her. Drista refuses, saying they're absolutely gonna talk about her.Tommy: Me and Ranboo need to have a chat about... big manly things!
Ranboo: Exactly! Like taxes!- After Drista tried dropping Tommy into the void, he decides that she can listen in on their conversation if she wants.
- Drista manages to whitelist Tommy's alt, "BigManTommy". He manages to needle her into giving his alt Creative mode, and immediately spawns himself a set of netherite armor... before he's put back into survival and killed with commands.Tommy: Okay, yeah, I'll log back in on my other account to say, "What the fuck?"
- Drista tries to figure out what weird blocks she can spawn in, and in the process, accidentally drops a dragon head. Ranboo picks it up and tries to run off with it, before Drista kills him with commands. Tommy then quickly sifts through Ranboo's belongings, picks up the dragon head, and runs off to try and find an ender chest, before Drista punches him to death.
- As Tommy, Drista and Ranboo are building a staircase out of barrier blocks (which are completely invisible), they're spotted by Sam. They add him to the call and pretend like nothing's out of the ordinary, all the while Sam is in complete hysterics at the sight of Tommy and Ranboo seemingly walking on air.Sam: (laughing) I was like, "Bro, what?!"
Ranboo: We're just going– we're just going up, you know how it is!
Tommy: We just float now, Sam, it's kind of our new quirk. - While building their barrier block staircase, Tommy spots a single block of nether brick with a sign on it, just floating in the sky. He asks Drista to fly over and see what it says.
- In a later stream, Tommy got curious to what the sign actually said, and bridged over to it. Turns out it really does just say "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA".
- Tommy, Ranboo and Drista try to figure out what cool mobs Drista can spawn in.
- Drista spawns in a polar bear. To test if it's fenced in, Tommy hits it a couple times... at which point it falls off the barrier block platform and about 100 blocks down to its death.Tommy: ...insurance'll pay for that.
- Drista spawns in the Ender Dragon. Tommy and Ranboo run away screaming while she quickly kills it.
- Drista spawns in a giant zombie. Tommy and Ranboo are amazed... until Drista hits it off the platform as well.
- Drista spawns in a polar bear. To test if it's fenced in, Tommy hits it a couple times... at which point it falls off the barrier block platform and about 100 blocks down to its death.
- After making sure Dream isn't watching, Tommy quickly drags everyone over to the prison to spawn a giant zombie there. When Dream figures out what they're doing and scolds them, Tommy tries to find a way to talk about going into the prison without Dream figuring out what they're talking about.Tommy: What should the code name for prison be?
Ranboo: Jail! No, wrong, sorry… - Finally, Drista manages to put the giant zombie (which they've dubbed Burt) in a good place: the entry hall of Ranboo and Tubbo's mansion. Since giant zombies don't have AI and thus will never move or attack, Ranboo decides to just fence Burt in and turn him into a statue. The real problem arises when Tommy asks to speak to Dream.Dream: Why is there a giant?!
Tommy: (stammering; starts building a wall in front of Dream) Object permanence, Dream! Object permanence! If you can't see it, it doesn't exist! - Drista teleports Ranboo and Tommy to a village one million blocks away from spawn, then to the world border. Tommy tries to make his mark by placing some blocks there, but before he manages to do anything, Drista puts him in Spectator mode. Thing is, players in spectator mode get a greyed-out name on the tab-list, which Phil (who was live at the time) immediately notices.Phil: (cackling) Caught in 4K, boys!
- After realizing that Spectator mode allows you to teleport to people, Tommy, Ranboo and Drista decide to torment Phil.
- Tommy repeatedly attacks Phil, then gets switched back to Spectator before Phil can hit back. It turns into a game of Whack-A-Mole, with Phil repeatedly taking potshots at Tommy with his bow, and Tommy disappearing before he can land a hit. At one point, Phil even draws his bow while using third person mode to look behind him... then when Tommy appears there, he quickly turns around and snipes him.
- Phil follows them down into his basement and tries to get them to leave... at which point Drista tries to trap him in barrier blocks. He escapes by tunneling down, but Drista just constructs another barrier block prison and teleports him in. At this point, Phil is starting to realize something is up.Phil: Wait, is that... that's not Dream, is it? (in chat) IS THAT FUCKING DRISTA
Drista: (places a sign saying "drista is awesome") - Ranboo puts down a sign saying to not feed the animals, then another asking Phil if he bites. Phil answers no, but when Ranboo tells him he's an attraction now, he replies with "nvm i do".
- Phil's chat gets a bit too confident in his abilities.Phil: What do you mean, "kill her"?! Kill God?! Okay!
- Phil tries to barter for bedrock.Ph1lzA: hey can I have some bedrock cheers
Ph1lzA: I am traumatised
Ph1lzA: and need compensation
Ranboo: lmao this is the dreamsmp
Ranboo: there is no compensation for trauma
Ranboo: just more trauma
- Drista introduces herself like she normally does, by hitting Tommy off a cliff in an attempt to kill him. Tommy lands safely using a water bucket, but when Drista jumps off after him, she doesn't take fall damage due to being in Creative mode.
Other/Meta
- According to Schlatt, his role in the Manburg vs. Pogtopia War was pretty minimal from the get-go.Schlatt: I woke up that day and I thought, "Oh, let's see what Wilbur has written for me!" And I was like, "Oh, Schlatt has a heart attack and fucking dies." That's awesome. I have so much fun with this role.
- In canon, Fundy's mother is a salmon, and Wilbur's mother is a Samsung Smart Fridge. Some fans (and Phil) have tried to interpret this as them being shapeshifters, but Wilbur was very adamant that no, he actually had sex with an actual salmon, and Phil actually had sex with an actual fridge.
- It's made worse by the fact that "Samsung Refrigerator" is one of Sapnap's nicknames, leading Wilbur to have to quickly confirm that no, Sapnap is not his mother.
- The editors of the Dream SMP Wiki are getting very, very tired of Wilbur's shit.general-light
: I hate it here. I’m unstanning Wilbur Soot right fucjing now. THIS IS THE NEW WEIRDEST EDIT I’VE HAD TO MADE PLEASE STOP- The wiki-page for the fridge is dripping with exasperation from the editors. As of the time it was written, the page does not confirm that Tommy also came from the fridge because "we need all the denial we can get", the image description of Wilbur confirming his mother is a fridge is "Wilbur Soot tests my patience by saying the information he's relaying is canonical", and about Wilbur's decision that there's no shapeshifting involved, the page says that "given it's a stupid-ass decision, the fandom elected to ignore it".
- The wiki-page for the fridge
- It gets better when you realize that in the United Kingdom, it's illegal to handle salmon under "suspicious circumstances". While the term "suspicious circumstances" is not defined, we know for a fact that Wilbur Soot, who is British in real life and a salmon-fucker in the most literal sense in the Dream SMP lore, would probably be in violation of that law through his roleplay persona.
- This, in turn, only makes it Hilarious in Hindsight with The Reveal that Wilbur the character was American all along.
- The naming of El Rapids, which was taken from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, had quite a story surrounding it. In late November 2020, while playing the horror game Slender: The Arrival, Quackity referenced Hillary Clinton's viral 2015 Snapchat video where she said she was "chilling in Cedar Rapids". This was when then-President of the United States, Donald Trump, decided to vaguepost Quackity on Twitter about getting the phrase "Cedar Rapids" on Trending. Yes, we're not kidding, variety streamer Alex Quackity got vaguetweeted by, and proceeded to have social media beef with, one of the most powerful men on Earth at the time.realDonaldTrump: Twitter is sending out totally false “Trends” that have absolutely nothing to do with what is really trending in the world. They make it up, and only negative “stuff”. Same thing will happen to Twitter as is happening to @FoxNews daytime. Also, big Conservative discrimination!
Quackity: JUST @ ME NEXT TIME- What makes it better is that all of it was caught live on stream, and months later, fans are still raving about it due to how surreal it all seems.klowningkiddo: (in the tags) it wouldnt be the first time he’s harassed a mexican for doing literally nothing huh
- Oh, and how does this relate to the Dream SMP? Quackity's faction at the time, El Rapids, was renamed after this incident as an explicit homage to Cedar Rapids* , to the point that the most famous poster for the nation had Hillary Clinton's face smack-printed in the middle of it, as seen in not one, but two "Las Nevadas" streams.
- What makes it better is that all of it was caught live on stream
- Technoblade's description for the Doomsday War stream reads as follows:"LOCAL ANARCHIST TEAMS UP WITH HOMELESS TELETUBBY TO DESTROY GOVERNMENT"
- The fact that the Doomsday War took place on the same day as the storming of the US Capitol, January 6th, 2021. What makes it funnier is that some fans didn't realize the news about the attack on government was happening in real life as well as in the Minecraft roleplay.
- Adding onto that, the fact that the Disc War Finale occurred on the same day as Joe Biden's inauguration as the 46th President of the United States, January 20th, 2021.
- During the Doomsday War and the final Disc War, George was absent. Both times, he posted a video explaining where he's been... and both times, it was just a video of him in bed, asleep.
- When Dream gave HBomb the script for the final Disc War, he explicitly said that H was absolutely not allowed to show up dressed in his cat maid skin.HBomb: Imagine I went into full uwu-mode on Dream during that. Just imagine the outcome, chat, just think about it. (giggling) Imagine a world where Dream's getting taken to jail and I stand up for him and call him my Master... We'd both be in prison right now.
- According to Karl, Dream accidentally overslept through the scheduled time for the "Lost City of Mizu" stream, so that also meant while he already had the script for his character beforehand, he slept through when everyone else had chosen names for their characters. This explains why his character, who bears a very striking resemblance to Ranboo, was called "Ranbob". Dream apparently had to think of a name on the spot (keeping in mind that he had probably woken up not that soon ago to boot).
- During Quackity's March 16th stream, Quackity gives a terrifying speech in which he promises to torture Dream until he gives up the secret to revival, that has Dream backed up into a corner, screaming for Sam's help. That's not funny. What is funny is that Sam was still in the call at this point, and just about jumped out of his seat when Dream suddenly started screaming his name.
- During the Tales From the SMP episode "The Pit", Jack was drunk in real life while acting as Bartholomew, and none of the outcomes of the duels were staged... meaning that Philza, who actually is a Master Archer in Minecraft (like the character he plays, Watson), got defeated by a man who is barely coherent, utterly wasted, and complaining about the sunlight in his eyes while entering the arena. Phil himself even acknowledges this.
- In George's March 31st lore stream, Mexican Dream's ghost being enraged about the destruction of El Rapids to the point that he burnt down Quackity's old house and is hunting him down for doing so. This is not funny in the slightest... until you remember that the two characters are played by the same actor on the same account.
- Also bear in mind the two's relationship with El Rapids prior to its destruction — Quackity was the founder and President of the El Rapids, while Mexican Dream had a mysterious connection towards it, being present to initiate new members. In other words, the two were in the same faction (which had 9 members at the highest count) but were completely unaware of each other's existence for weeks or even months.
- What makes this even weirder is that Mexican Dream off-handedly mentioned that he disliked Sapnap for dating his cousin... meaning the two are Ambiguously Related.
- During Ranboo's June 6th stream, he realizes that he has the ability to buy Heelys. This, of course, spins into a bit where he DMs the official Heelys Twitter account, which leads to a thread where it claims to be a Ranboo enjoyer.
- Even funnier, Ranboo makes his character having Heelys quasi-canonical (so that fan-artists don't feel obligated to include them during otherwise serious lore moments), because the mental image of a 6'7" enderman/something else hybrid sliding around on wheeled shoes is really, really funny.
- One certain Dream SMP fanfic Heatwaves has gotten so popular that it seemed to create a problem: every time it updated, it crashed the Archive of Our Own site due to the startlingly high numbers of readers flocking to the new chapter at the same time.
- Wilbur embracing his status as a Trolling Creator and updating his flair on the Dream SMP subreddit to "Dream SMP Member (Enjoyer of Tears)".
- A small one occurs on Philza's July 21st, 2021 livestream. Most of the content creators of the server having already informed cc!Wilbur of what they imagined their characters' Afterlife to be if they lost all their canon lives? A little sad. Wilbur and Phil vaguely saying that Ranboo's was the saddest Afterlife and would push the boundaries of making the chat cry? Intriguing. The "revelation" that Ranboo's Afterlife will allegedly be a giant version of the Dashcon ball pit? Utterly hysterical.
- On 24/25 July 2021, a L'Manburg flag was spotted in a photo of an anti-vaccination rally next to a Trump2024 flag. However, since the flag of L'Manburg is one of the first search results when you look up "freedom flag", it's suspected that people on the alt-right just looked up a flag that "represented" freedom and bought the first item they found without knowing the context behind the flag — in this case, a fictional nation-state that advocates and is accepting of things and people that the protesters likely didn't support, e.g. the LGBTQ community. Wilbur, Tommy, and Tubbo (three of the founders of the original L'Manburg) are certainly amused by this.
- It gets better: in December of 2021, this happened AGAIN! The fact that it happened at all is hilarious in and of itself, but it's even more hysterical that it happened TWICE.
- It gets better: in December of 2021, this happened AGAIN
- In a moment of Black Comedy, Charlie Slimecicle tweets out something 1 hour and 20 minutes before the fourth "Las Nevadas" lore stream without context, and it wasn't until the stream itself when the fandom realizes that it has been a spoiler all along.insidetheslime: I am going to fucking die
- After a long time, Schlatt just randomly logged into the server on December 6th with no context at all. A few days later, we get the context: Schlatt was doing a "Google himself" video and one of the questions was if he was still on the SMP.
- For various reasons, Wilbur ultimately decided to post the scripts for the unfinished Burger Van arc on AO3 under the title "Hitting on 16". The first story he posted under that title is literally just the lyrics for "Never Gonna Give You Up" copied and pasted over and over again; the second one is legitimate (to the point he did a live reading of it)... except the formatting is absolutely terriblenote , to the disgust of many AO3 users.
- Crosses over into Vulgar Humor; when a fan comments on an incidence of Ho Yay-infused Man Bites Man in "The Wilbur Van", Wilbur's fellow ex-SootHouse member Rhianna replies with... her interpretation of events._O5LOL: You think c wilbur moaned when Q bit him
SootRhianna: Man full on came in his pants- Rhianna's quote-retweet justifying her very unwarranted commentary isn't much better either.SootRhianna: I HAVE A CURSE OF KNOWING WHAT MY FRIENDS’ DICKS ARE DOING AT ALL TIMES PLEASE IM SORRY I HAVE A WIFE AND A HUSBAND AND AT LEAST 50 KIDS COMMON MAN I COULD TELL YOU WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING NEXT TIME PLEASE IM JUST TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING SELLING DICK UPDATES AND THAT WILBUSSY WAS

- In a lore stream in late January 2022, while walking around the SMP, BadBoyHalo stumbles across Dream near the communal Nether portal and immediately does a 180 and hightails it, screaming for his life. That isn't funny. What is funny, though, is that cc!Dream was also livestreaming at the time, and during his livestream, he was completely out of character (as in "Dream was not roleplaying at the time and his stream is non-canonical") and replying to donations in a Q&A session... while casually running around on his SMP where he plays the manipulative, child-abusing Big Bad in the server lore.
- In a Tumblr Q&A, Eret divulges the behind-the-scenes scriptwriting process of the content creators for any pre-planned events. As for the improvised dialogue in the scenes:theeretblr: I will say though, the number of times I've seen "[Name] says something cool" in the middle of the plan is more than I'd like to count LOL
- Technoblade's passing from cancer is announced in his video "so long nerds". That's not funny in the slightest. What is funny is the revelation in the same video that his real-life name is 'Alex', the same as Quackity.note This has prompted joking speculation in the fandom that their characters' animosity towards each other is because their content creator counterparts share a real-life (nick)name.
