Funny / Empires SMP

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are off.

Season 1

Episodes

• As he's baiting a sheep towards the newly built Sheep Shack, Scott tells it that living in the Sheep Shack will dramatically decrease its chances of being murdered. He gets the sheep inside... and then immediately gets divebombed by a Creeper, which kills the sheep.
• In her 3rd episode, Lizzie's marketplace construction is interrupted by her leading a group of five fellow rulers (Pix, Katherine, Gem, Sausage, and Pearl) to the Stronghold near her base in exchange for some chorus plants, and comments, "Well, they're gonna die." After she returns to naming Villagers and marketplace construction, a few rather heated messages pop up in the in-game chat:
  Pixlriffs: SCOTT
  Pixlriffs: SCOTT IT WAS TERRIBHLE
  Pixlriffs: WE ALL DIED
• The fact that the two Ravagers that Jimmy and Pix sic on the Mythland wheat fields are named "Lawnmower" and "Bulldozer", and that they would have gotten a third one named "Tractor" if they hadn't lost the name-tag.
• After a couple of international conflicts, Lizzie arranges for a Prisoner Exchange with Joey for their respective kidnapped NPCs, only for Sausage to seemingly double-cross both of them and kill them both. He awkwardly explains the situation after that:
  Sausage: I was paid! I'm sorry about this, uh, but both of you paid me, actually, to kill each other. Um, so, you're welcome?
  • After the two rulers reconcile, Sausage thanks them for hiring the Assassins' Guild and immediately follows it up by advertising how he's a therapist.
• When Scott first learns about Xornoth, he's less concerned with there being an evil demon on the server, and more concerned with the fact that it has a Scottish accent, and that's his thing!
  Scott: There's very few things I have, being gay and Scottish are two of them, do not take that from me.
  • What makes it even funnier? Scott the content creator is also the main VA for Xornoth.
• Lizzie and Joel's wedding is a silly little Breather Episode so that their roleplay counterparts can be married like their real-life counterparts, so there are bound to be a couple of laughs:
  • While officiating the ceremony, Joey asks Joel if he's willing to give Lizzie as much terracotta as she may need until death. Joel's answer is, "Yeah, to an extent, yeah." There is one moment of awkward silence before he actually says "I do".
  • This line, considering Joey feels the need to specify:
    Joey: By the power invested in me, which is not much, I now pronounce you man and wife.
  • Right after officiating the ceremony, Joey announces that he too has found love and that he invited the man he's interested in to the ceremony — of all moments he could have said this, he had to say it at someone else's wedding. Naturally, he is immediately interrupted by this message in the in-game chat:
    Xornoth left the game
• While explaining to fWhip and Gem that throwing the Codfather head into the End portal was a terrible idea, Scott discovers Pearl's... shall we say, odd sense of humor.
  Scott: So, y'know the demon on the server? That's causing chaos and corruption and evil?
  Pearl: Yeah, the one that I had a fun time with before? Yeahyeahyeah. That was a lot of fun.
  Scott: Okay sure, Pearl, we're not all like you!
  Shrub: Fun?! I didn't have fun...
  Pearl: That demon was great! It was just messing around, it was fantastic!
  Scott: I thought it killed you!
  Pearl: I mean, it did, but we had a lot of fun before that.
  Scott: We have different definitions of fun...
• Pix not knowing what glass is and referring to it as "some kind of impenetrable barrier"... in spite of ruling the sand-rich desert empire.
• fWhip's defense for why he didn't think throwing Jimmy's Codfather head into the End would be a bad idea? He didn't think Jimmy would actually take the bait.
  Pix: He's literally a fish! He takes the bait every time!
• Lizzie finds the Eye of Xornoth spying on the Cod Empire while visiting Jimmy, and is quite convinced that it's not a giant eyeball.
  Lizzie: If I know my anatomy, and I think I do, I'm pretty sure that's a demon boob.
• The Rivendell Feast is held with the intention of announcing Xornoth's imprisonment and the news that he'll no longer be terrorizing the server again, with claims that the empires will be at peace from then on... then fWhip announces the creation of the Emperor's Crown, which gives its owner ultimate power over all empires. Cue every single ruler (excluding Sausage) having an impromptu fight to the death over it.
  • In retrospect, the fact that the last one standing in that whole ordeal was Jimmy.^note fWhip was killed by Joel (who went on a killing spree for the Crown), who was killed by Pix, who was killed by Scott, who was one-shot by Jimmy.
• After realizing that being Emperor isn't a good idea considering his ice powers are really getting out of hand, Scott vows to just hand the Crown it to the first person to show up at his door. That person is fWhip, offering to trade two shulker-boxes of gold for the Crown. Scott takes the deal, surprising fWhip, and throws the Crown on the ground... at which point Joel floats down from the roof, snatches the Crown off the ground, and flies away.
  Joel: YOINK! SEE YOU LATER, BOYS! BYE!
  • fWhip is completely stunned for a few seconds, before turning around and meekly asking if he can have the shulker-boxes of gold back. Scott promptly turns around, walks back inside and slams the door in his face.
• If puns are your cup of tea, then Lizzie's absolute Hurricane of Puns in "Ocean Tours" would definitely bring a chuckle or two. It also helps that Lizzie built the whole thing for the purpose of making many bad puns. The groaning of everyone else on the tour adds to the fun as well.
• In Joel's game show to give away the Crown:
  • Lizzie underestimates the number of subscribers Sausage has, prompting Sausage to dig down in a corner to cry... then he falls through the floor trying to do so, as Joel did not fill up the chasm he built the game show arena over.
  • Jimmy votes for Joey to be eliminated in the second round "because i can hear his cat" [sic] meowing throughout the recording.
• In Scott's 34th episode, "Gifts for the Other Empires!", while making plans to give gifts to both allied and neutral empires, he has this blunt statement on the empires he has enmity with:
  Scott: But it's not the season of forgiveness; all my enemies can burn in H–^note The subtitles show a split second "H*/L"
  (Bleeped-out TV error screen)
• At one point, Lizzie flips through The Book Of Prophecies, Past & Future in a moment of paranoia. Among the many prophecies in The Book Of Prophecies, several of which foretold the ruin and fall of the Empires and their rulers, the 17th prophecy in the book is simply "A short king will rise."
• In the finale, Lizzie flies to Rivendell to ask Scott for "fashion", i.e. his royal Rivendell armour.
  • Scott completely misunderstands what she means, and with zero hesitation, starts giving her actual fashion advice.
    Scott: Okay, so we'll start with the dress, I think you could do with some–
    Lizzie: No!
  • Scott, not wanting to give her his armour, challenges her to complete the nigh-Impossible Task of completing all of the advancements in Minecraft, and once Lizzie leaves, Scott remarks, "Well, that's never happening" and "She literally cannot get every single achievement, like, there– there's just too many. Literally, there's too many." Little did he know, Lizzie's response after leaving was "Challenge accepted", and proceeds to spend most of the remainder of her episode completing that very Impossible Task. Scott very clearly regrets this.
    Scott: To be fair, if anyone was committed enough, it was going to be Lizzie. I made that mistake myself.
  • Lizzie tries to make her dramatic entrance by flying through Scott's front door at full speed... emphasis on tries. Instead, she makes her entrance by slamming face-first into the doorframe, popping a totem and nearly giving Scott a heart attack.
  • Scott realizes a minor hitch in their plan.
    Lizzie: Every single advancement. I've got them all. Paperwork proves it.
    Scott: ...I realize there's no way for me to actually fact-check this, so I will have to trust you.
    Lizzie: Yeah, well, there's paperwork. Somewhere. In the aether.
    Scott: (laughs) Oh, okay. Well, I'm sure if it turns out you've lied to me, I will get my revenge. I know where you live.
    Lizzie: Oh, sure, definitely time for that.

Other

• At one point, Joel called out the fanartists for constantly drawing him short, and insisted he's actually really tall. However, most fanartists weren't drawing Joel as short, so much as they were drawing everyone around him (Lizzie, Jimmy, sometimes Scott) as incredibly tall, since they are literal demigods and fantasy creatures. Because Joel called them out on this, however, he was subsequently drawn as about the size of a toddler, and even his canon height was pushed down to 5'9 (175 cm), making him the third shortest emperor after Katherine and Shrub, the latter of whom being a 4-foot-tall gnome.
• Some of the bloopers uploaded by the Empires-members after Season 1 are hilarious.
  • During one recording session, Gem accidentally shoots and kills Scott, causing the rest of the people around them to immediately start corpsing. Scott then switches to his Xornoth-account to yell at her.
    Gem: I think Xornoth is gonna haunt me over that one...
    Scott: (through Xornoth) GEMINI TAY, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!
  • Considering there are quite a few characters on the server that use voice changers for dramatic effect, it's not surprising there were plenty of software hiccups as well.
    • While the actual clip was never uploaded, Scott recounted a story on stream where he forgot to enable his Xornoth-filter while filming a scene with Joey and Sausage.
      Scott: Joey comes up the stairs with Sausage, and then they get to the top, and I'm like, "Welcome", and they're like, "...it's just you. It's just you, you just sound like you."
    • The highlight by far was Scott accidentally turning on autotune instead of his Xornoth-voice filter, resulting in the hilarious image of demonic-looking Xornoth singing "One Way or Another" while Gem cracks up in the background.
  • After the Season 1 finale aired, Scott showed a couple of bloopers from his finale episode as well. In the first blooper, Katherine (who was body-doubling as Xornoth) activated the bubble far too early (as in, before Xornoth even says anything). In the second blooper, she activates the bubble far too late, resulting in an awkward moment where Scott shouts "YOU LEAVE JIMMY ALONE" then just sort of... stands there. In the final blooper, she gets the timing right... but then starts reading out the stage directions.

Season 2

General

• The sheer amount of sexual innuendoes and Double Entendres made in episodes and in the in-game chat are too numerous to list. Scott, Joel, Sausage — thanks a lot, the three of you.
• The entire Whole-Plot Reference to Toy Story. While it starts off innocently with Jimmy naming one of his horses "Bullseye" after the character, later episodes involve many other content creators, especially Joel, trolling Jimmy about this by comparing him to Woody, or otherwise calling him a toy.
  • Joel the content creator goes as far as to headcanon Jimmy's character to be a toy that doesn't know he's a toy, à la Buzz Lightyear, and yes, 'headcanon' was the word he used. He eventually even builds a Toy Barn to profit off of this running joke in-game, and profit off of it, he has.
  • During a livestream, fWhip manages to troll Jimmy into getting the "You've Got a Friend in Me" advancement^note to have an Allay help the player pick up a block/item. The other content creators online proceed to, quite understandably, freak out in the in-game chat.
    Pixlriffs: and that's checkmate
    [...]
    Smajor1995: he cant recover from that one
  • Even though Jimmy the character is very ticked off by this, even his content creator counterpart leans into the bit at the start of his 6th episode, where he finds a piece of paper with "Andy" written on it stuck to his foot... in real life.
• Lizzie's short "My Friends and Their Problems" cites the main problems that many of the Empires rulers face. Among them:
  • Two of the server-members' main problems seem intrinsically connected:
    false: someone keeps stealing from her iron farm
    joey: keeps stealing from someone[']s iron farm
  • Pix's cited main problem is that he's Surrounded by Idiots.
• Pix's custom dodo texture for his horses has a minor glitch which leads to all the dodos stamping their feet in place when another dodo is ridden past them. This soon leads to a hilariously adorable montage.
• The infamous saga of the meme Love Dodecahedron chart by Sgorby.
  • While it starts off as a relative tame documentation of the flirting circle, Sausage the content creator has somehow caught wind of this on Twitter. One would suspect that his response to the chart is to actively make Sgorby's life more difficult by flirting with more people on video for them to document. By the time the Hermitcraft crossover rolls around, it has transformed into a monstrosity.
  • While watching and reacting to fan animatics, a fan donates to Jimmy to react to the chart. His response? Save the image and post it in the content creators' Discord server.
  • Sgorby seems to have given up after the Princess Tea Party:
    (every member of the Empires cast on the Chart is encircled) THEY ALL KISSED
• After the conclusion of Season 2, Sausage reveals a few hysterical tidbits on Twitter:
  • Before bringing Shelby back to life, he admits to them stopping over at Pearl's heavenly palace in the Spirit Realm off-camera and while she's out.
  • The fact that Pix's collection of Ren's giblets will never be completed because Sausage hid Ren's first bed in another plane of existence altogether, meaning only he as a Dimensional Traveler can really access it.

Pre-Festival Episodes

• Before the series even starts properly, during the resource-gathering period before the campfire meetup, Sausage throws an egg in front of Gem, hatching a chick... which then turns out to be four chicks standing in the same block.
  Sausage: Here, take an egg! (throws down egg) Ooh, I made a child on you! (the four chicks separate) I MADE MANY CHILDREN ON YOU, GEM!
• After fWhip's mission to retrieve a Swift Sneak enchanted book from the Ancient City ends in almost utter disaster, he gifts Sausage and Katherine an enchanted golden apple — one of the rarest items in the game — each. Katherine, mistaking it for a normal golden apple that one can craft and due to hunger, responds by immediately eating it. fWhip and Sausage react exactly how one would expect one to react to this.
• Pix's revenge against Joel for robbing his mountains of calcite is to box his base in glass in a preservation case like it's a museum display, with the sign on the pedestal informing any and all visitors that the calcite in the build was "Taken from Pix's Mountain".
• In an early episode, Sausage gifts Pirate Joe a banner based on the stereotypical skull and crossbones, not knowing it hints towards his Arch-Enemy Skeletron. When Pirate Joe confronts him on this, Sausage decides Breaking the Fourth Wall to justify his initial design seems to be the way to go.
  Sausage: Well, the thing is– this is the thing. This is– you know, when you look up 'pirate' in the Wikipedia, and you put 'pirate flag' in– right next to [it], this thing shows up!
• Pirate Joe accidentally crafting six diamond helmets with his business-earned diamonds.
• While being tasked with babysitting Hermes, Lizzie brings the child to visit Chromia and shares her favourite past-time there.
  Lizzie: Hermes, everything the light touches... is ready to be trampled! (starts trampling the wheat fields) Come on! Let's go!
  Scott: (in the distance) Get outta my crops!^note Subtitled in Lizzie's episode as "*angry scottish noises*"
• Jimmy attempting to sue Joel. The funny part is not just that he's quite literally suing a god, but the charge he's suing for is copyright infringement over the Sheriff toys in the Toy Barn, and not something more realistically proven in-universe like slander^note the toy accusations, harassment^note again, the toy accusations and everything in relation to it, along with Elytra-related trolling earlier in the series, or vandalism^note the Toy Story-themed builds. This, along with Jimmy wanting to be paid half of the profits for the Toy Barn if he wins the lawsuit (the profits are to be split 50/50 with fWhip), reeks of Skewed Priorities in that he wants to be the one to capitalize off of the Toy joke.
• The first half of Jimmy's 23 August 2022 livestream has plenty of these moments.
  • First of all, while showing Jimmy the empty space under the Greatbridge, Scott excitedly suggests to open a Black Market there. Not only does he do this in front of the Sheriff, but said Sheriff endorses that idea before remembering that he's "the Law" and is not supposed to endorse criminal activity.
  • Throughout Scott's appearances as a whole that stream, he and Sausage had been making several back-to-back innuendoes towards each other in the in-game chat (as expected by this point into the season), badly enough for Jimmy to yell for fWhip to ban Sausage for making one too many comments.^note The linked timestamp goes far back enough to provide context for the relevant comment. But it eventually culminates into this decidedly un-PG moment in the Chromian tavern, where Sausage... ahem, adds a 'support' pole to the stage to hold up the ceiling and starts dancing on it, then Scott escalates this by throwing raw gold at Sausage. That's funny, if possibly awkward to watch due to its un-PG nature, but even funnier is Jimmy's look of utter horror at what he was unfortunate enough to witness.
    • Sausage's episode shows the aftermath of the situation as Scott and fWhip stare at Jimmy flying off in the complete wrong direction home all the while Sausage is cackling in the background.
    • Meanwhile, everyone in Jimmy's stream chat is screaming that his content creator counterpart's "PG era" is over.
• As of the start of Jimmy's 10th episode, the barrier on the railroad into the Tumble Town basin reads "DAY 6731 Of The TUMBLE TOWN Railway Not Being Open..", with the number of days being presented in Minecraft server days. If we're going with the time scale on Earth, that's 18.441 years of the railway being alleged to be under construction. Even funnier is the fact that Jimmy actively tries to update the sign whenever a day passes.
• The entire Courtroom Episode.
  • Prior to the entire ordeal, the fact that Joel and fWhip (Jimmy's "lawyer") both attempt to bribe Pixl, independently and separately. Jimmy didn't even know about the bribery until about a minute before entering the Courthouse, and while Pixl addresses this in the court, he claims the "gifts" were of equal value and refuses to be swayed.
  • Lizzie bailing out of being Joel's lawyer for the court case before it even starts because she thinks there's no chance of winning it.
  • Pixl being the only person to treat the court case with appropriate etiquette and decorum, adding on "unauthorized use of one's image" and "defamation of character" onto Joel's list of charges while both Joel and Jimmy are busy insulting each other behind the judge's back.
  • When fWhip says that Jimmy's loyal in his opening remarks, cue this interjection:
    Joel: Objection, hearsay, Your Honor, he's not loyal, he's an absolute moron!
  • When presented with a Sherriff toy, Pixl examines it, and declares that Jimmy does bear some resemblance to the toy. Both Jimmy and fWhip panic and immediately try to correct him.
  • While Jimmy does win the case, he states that his acceptance of the profits is not him admitting to being a toy.
    Pixl: It's funny you should mention that, because the next case we're actually judging here is– uh, let me check my notes... the case of "Is SolidarityGaming a toy?".
    (Jimmy immediately runs for it)
  • Joel accidentally calling Jimmy a "boy-toy" while calling him a "toy-boy".
• Pirate Joe robbing every third empire of treasures to gift to Katherine is hilarious in an absurd way.
  • First, he robs just about all of fWhip's raw gold from his storage room, claiming that he's only taking "a few pieces" so fWhip wouldn't notice... so either pirates' definition of "a few" differs greatly from that of the average person, or he genuinely thinks fWhip wouldn't notice his vault being practically emptied out. And when Pirate Joe is done, he thinks he might have taken a bit too much, and places exactly one (1) block back in an attempt to cover for himself.
  • Next, he takes flight to Animalia and, once again, steals almost the entire amethyst cluster from the town square... then he mistakes the bell in the middle (to gather the fox-villagers together) for an alarm system.
  • His third stop is Chromia, whereupon he falls into Darkness and thinks it's another alarm system set up to stop him from looting the lilac field. Little does he know, it's the very loud and very obvious "Thank You For Coming To My Wedding^note IRL, not in-universe" Warden that fWhip put in a giant present-box as a prank.
  • His roaring rampage of robbery ends in Dawn, where he claims that Gem allowed him to take items from her "Treasure" chest, through her "exact words". Cue the clip where she mentioned that chest, with a note-to-self that she should probably upgrade her security system. Oh, and while rummaging through the aforementioned "Treasure" chest, he completely skips over the 14 diamonds (that he'd probably want for himself) in favour of redstone and lapis blocks.
  • When Katherine brings him back to Animalia to return all the stolen amethyst, Lizzie catches them in the act. When Pirate Joe proceeds to try to extort diamonds from her in exchange for the amethyst back, Katherine makes him hand the stolen goods over, then says he has something to say, clearly implying that he needs to apologise. His response? Looking at Katherine and sweetly saying, "I love you." She proceeds to haul him off, smacking him and yelling about his bad behaviour while throwing apologies over her shoulder to Lizzie.
• During their first meeting (in this series), Sausage invites Oli to read the message Joel left for him with Hermes. When Oli gets to the part about "hard wood", he pauses and asks the question half the audience is already asking: "Are you sure I should be reading this?" And when he's done with the message, he asks if Hermes can read what the message is saying.
• Joey getting arrested for theft is equal parts hilarious and awkward, if only due to the fact that he mistook the entire interaction to be Jimmy having kidnapped Katherine at first, and later that it was for something extremely un-PG. In spite of his character's exasperation at the situation, cc!Jimmy was corpsing throughout approximately half the scene.
• Joel's revenge prank on fWhip involves eight egg-dispensing cannons scattered and hidden throughout the Goblands and lots and lots of eggs. In the time an episode has passed, the entire empire has become swamped with chickens, thanks to Lizzie living not far from the area.
  (cc!)Lizzie: Have I unwittingly helped you prank fWhip?
  Joel: Y– Look at all those chickens.
• Scott checks in on the reviews for the Chromian tavern, of which a majority (heh) of them are complaints lodged against Owen the bartending llama:
  Bed was extra comfy ("Amazing.")
  Bartender can't actually speak ("Yeah... I mean, that bothers some people, you know, not being able to speak to the bartender, but still...")
  Cups are pickles... but kinda dig it ("Okay, so it's a good thing, love that.")
  Looks nice, Bartender kinda rude
  Couldn't hear over the noise of the bartender
  Bartender spat in my drink ("Owen! We've been over this! Your saliva is not a sellable beverage!")
  "Owen" spat on me when i tried to order
  Bartender just kept staring at me ("Owen, stop scaring away customers! You're meant to be the capitalistic genius of Chromia! You're meant to make money, not spit on people!")
• When Oli returns to the Olipelago after the Dragon fight, his imprisonment in Gobland, and various other misadventures, his starter base had disappeared into thin air. Oli immediately concludes that the base in question had been "eroded" and lost to time and the elements of nature entirely, and laments about it before building a large tent for himself. That's not funny. What is funny is that the base in question wasn't lost to time, but rather, as his episode reveals, to Pix uprooting the entire thing and moving it to the Museum in fear that Oli would tear down the historically significant structure in favour of building something new.
  • Speaking of this, Pix commenting on Oli's chest organization skills (or rather, his lack thereof) while reconstructing his base in the Museum, with about the same level of snark a Wiki editor or a thesis writer can use in academic literature.
    Pix: And so it is with pinpoint accuracy that we're able to recreate Oli's entire inventory of– (stumbles) weird stuff like kelp and orange beds, and it is my belief that through recreating these in their exact formations, we can maybe get an insight into the mind of why somebody would put four ink sacs there in this chest otherwise full of wool and one pink dye. The chest to the right of the Crafting Table, equally mysterious in its use of three eggs in this slot here and two eggs in that slot there, with a mangrove propagule nested in between. Can we truly understand the mind of a man who would put one furnace here [next to his double bed] and yet one furnace here [halfway along an adjacent wall], with three candles on top of it even though there's a torch there [two blocks away] and furnaces emit light? (starting to sound slightly pained) Having recreated them in all their glory, can we ever truly understand why he chose to put these two blocks of wool here [in a chest mainly filled with plants and plant products] and not over here on the opposite side of the room with the other wool? (lights the candles) Perhaps some of these mysteries will remain forever unanswered, but here we are, surrounded by a perfect recreation of Oli's "megabase" at its height, and finally, I can reuse these seven Shulker-boxes for something.
  • Adding on to the chaos, Pix the content creator proceeds to tag his YouTube-released episode with remorseless admissions.
    [...] #theorionsound #megabase #museum #theft #blatant theft #i stole it tbh
  • Slightly later down the road, Oli's double-take upon finding his house in the Museum at all.
• Scott accusing people building extremely large structures next to his to be Compensating for Something, first Joel and his giant portal on the Nether roof, then Joey and his enormous parrot statue on the Greatbridge.
• The entire Owen as a human saga.
  • While enlisting Shelby's help for a potion to invoke this, the potion apparently does not work at turning Owen human.^note It actually has a delayed effect, so the magical results aren't immediate. Shelby then asks Scott to quite literally kiss Owen (read: still a llama at the time) because apparently, that's what happens in stories to turn someone human... but she later admits she said this because it would be funny.
  • Owen, still having the mentality of a llama, harvesting any and all wheat that he sees, and Scott being able to lure him around with wheat and sugar.
  • When being confronted with his reflection in the fountain, Owen clearly demonstrating that llamas have not passed the Mirror Test.
    Owen: That man is drowning, you need to get him out.
  • Owen stealing all of the Sheriff toys from the tavern rooms.
  • When Scott tries to leave Owen in Chromia to run an errand in Tumble Town, Owen just keeps following him, going as far as to teleport onto the Nether roof to do so. Naturally, Scott is forced to bring him along for the ride due to the Nether being a dangerous location.
  • Upon meeting Jimmy for the first time, Owen's first impression is that he recognizes him from the Sheriff toys he picked up from the tavern rooms. Jimmy immediately asks for permission to smack the human-llama. Their relationship does not get better from here.
  • Scott slowly but surely feeling his brain cells die while watching over Owen.
    Owen: (chats with a graveyard cat in Tumble Town)
    (The screen zooms out on Scott with the subtitle "help me")
  • After leaving the Evermoore, Owen starts gobbling up the carpet trail guiding people to the empire's portal on the Nether roof, saying that it tastes good.
    Scott: What don't you eat? [...] Actual people food?
    Owen: Hmm... birds? Birds and whatever the thing that you tried to give me at the beginning of the day was.
    Scott: Bread. It was bread.
    Owen: You wanna do what?
    (Bleeped-out TV error screen)
• Oli describing himself as a "hornless man" after recounting to Pix how Gem took back her Goat Horn from him. It would have been an understandable, if slightly dramatic way of putting it... then he drops the word 'eunuch'.

The Festival of the Rift

• Even at the start of the Festival, due to Oli having to pay back certain debts that he allegedly owed fWhip, the entry ticket fee is charged at five diamonds, which resulted in certain shenanigans:
  • Gem and Katherine talking Oli into giving them a Princesses' Discount for entering the Festival.
  • Jimmy accidentally paying half for False's ticket due to Minecraft-induced item mix-up.
  • Shelby and Scott complaining about the absurdly high ticket price for entry, not to mention Oli making Scott pay double the price to bring Owen, a llama, in.
• Pix considering entering a froglight into Lizzie's food tasting competition.
• Sausage holding an impromptu auction for Jimmy's Sheriff badge, coupled with the fact that Jimmy had to buy the badge back from Shelby, the winner of the auction.
• Lizzie's entire Phony Psychic scam to sell others Animalian products for diamonds goes interestingly for fWhip, as Sausage gets so fed up with waiting his turn (as fWhip apparently forgot to bring diamonds for payment) that he pays for him, and fWhip ends up running away from the cave sobbing that he could never escape the raw chicken^note (AKA what Lizzie was selling him, coupled with Joel's chicken revenge prank leaving fWhip with far too many chicken carcasses already).
• Joel continuing to sell Sheriff toys as a Black Market trade under the cover of selling Donkey Jeremy toys. On top of this, the fact that he's marketing himself as a "Sexy Man" selling toys, culminating into this conversation:
  Lizzie: I heard there's some discount toys from the "Sexy Man".
  Scott: Wait, where's the "Sexy Man"?
  Lizzie: (looks at Joel, who is standing next to Gem) Right there.
  Scott: Gem?
• After Pirate Joe and Gem's "Bathe the Bard" archery tournament round, Jimmy insults Hermes... within the earshot of both Joel and Sausage. He gets anti-climatically murdered on the spot for this.
• Joel cheering on his "in-real-life wife" in her round of "Bathe the Bard".
• While watching Pirate Joe challenge Shelby to a Duel to the Death for Katherine's heart:
  • Joel calling for Pirate Joe to take his shirt off, to which Jimmy remarks that this was a hallmark of the Joey of 2016 and not 2022.
  • fWhip asking Jimmy to step in as the Sheriff to stop the competition, with Jimmy replying that he should, but he's enjoying watching the drama unfold too much to do so.
  • Pix passing around Skittles to his fellow rulers.

The Hermitcraft Crossover

• While incidents related to the Rift result in an Empires–Hermitcraft crossover, it also causes some... interesting interactions between the members of both servers.
  • According to Scar, someone allegedly passing gas while passing through the Rift.
    • This gets even funnier later when folks on the Empires side start investigating the Rift themselves and speculating why the portal broke after the Hermits came through.
      Katherine: Do you think they all farted at the same time or something?
  • Scar initially believing that he's being transported to a fourth season/iteration of the Life SMP.
  • After landing in Sanctuary, Keralis mentions having seen the place before on YouTube and Bubbles on Twitter; Sausage is confused to what those are... which implies with prior conversations in mind, that while Wikipedia exists in the Empires world, YouTube and Twitter do not.
  • Grian and Scar plunging to their deaths while being toured around Upper Stratos.
    Cub: They were not worthy. They were not worthy. Leave them. Leave them be.
  • Sausage noting down Grian's "powers" as "Pesky Bird" because he heard someone call him that.
  • Jimmy reacting with utter dread to Grian, the aforementioned "Pesky Bird", showing up in Tumble Town, and considering what Grian says to him, quite rightfully so:
    Grian: Hello, Tim. Did you think you could escape? You're not even safe in your own SMP! [...] You can't hide from me: I'm in your livestreams, I'm in your SMP...
  • Scar, being the ever-pleasant man, trying to convince Jimmy that being compared with Woody isn't a bad thing and that he should embrace the brand because Woody's a good guy to look up to.
• On an Empires-related note, just as Jimmy tries to take down the "Andy's bedroom" wallpaper prank, Pix shows up measuring the walls, declaring them a Mona Lisa-level work of art (by a god, no less) and a historical landmark, and tells Jimmy to keep the concrete powder walls up. Understandably, Jimmy ends his episode right after this.
• Grian and Impulse interrupting Pix's livestream recreating his underground copper-ageing facility to parody the Hermitcraft Recap in a Swapped Roles fashion.
  Grian: Pixlriffs is running through his contraption, trying to pretend like this isn't happening.
  Pix: (Beat) Nightmares, nightmares about this. Constantly.
• Katherine has had her Transformation Sequence since the start of the series when she goes into Hunter of Monsters mode. That much is fine. What really sells it is that after Hermitcraft arrivals Impulse, Cub, and Pearl join her monster-slaying club and prepare to be initiated into her alliances, they get Transformation Sequences too. Clearly, Magical Girl-ism is infectious.
  • In the aftermath of this, Katherine referring to the salmon heads that Pearl and Cub have as "evil fish heads", and Impulse calling them sea monsters (which, in this context, would probably be an offense to the canonical sea monsters of the SMP).
• Sausage gets his revenge on Jimmy for calling Hermes stupid. And what precisely is that revenge? Planning a surprise Halloween party in Tumble Town Saloon where all the attendees (read: almost half of the known server whitelist) are dressed up as Toy Story characters, of course! Featuring himself as Rex, fWhip as one of the Little Green Men (since he's been wearing that as his Deputy's outfit for months already), Grian as Buzz, Lizzie as Barbie (complete with blonde wig), Joel as Ken, Gem as Jessie, Oli as Zurg, Scar as Mr. Potato Head (complete with removable eyebrows and mustache), Keralis as Forky, and Scott as Bo Peep (of all people, complete with three sheep).
• Bdubs mispronouncing Santa Perla as "Santa Perra". In Sausage's words, Bdubs is calling her "a doggy", as perra in Spanish refers to a dog. More specifically, a female dog, since Spanish has grammatical gender. In other words, Bdubs accidentally referred to St. Pearl as "St. Bitch".
• When Xisuma and Cleo decide to betray Joey and recruit Shelby to kill him, she puts up a façade of resistance and then immediately gives in.
  Shelby: This goes against all of my morals– yeah, no, I'll do it.
• After returning from an Ancient City and collecting enough items to complete an exhibit in the museum, Pix finds his museum raided and he gets murdered by Empires-False in front of his empty Deepslate Emerald Ore display case... and he gets a brief bout of amnesia courtesy of a potion. That's not funny. What is funny is that when Pix crafts a new Recovery Compass, it continuously points to the Deepslate Emerald Ore traces left in the empty case and he uses this to track down the one who stole his stuff, while renaming it the "Lore Compass". Now that is funny.
  Pix: Don't question it, it's lore.
• Following off of this, Pix indeed traces his missing treasures to the thief that stole them, but unfortunately for him, they've entered the chaotic item circulation around the server.
  • After being tracked down, Scott, the aforementioned thief, claiming to use Deepslate Emerald Ore perfume to try to throw Pix off the scent.
  • The next time Pix's museum exhibits are seen, they're being sold on the Black Market to Lizzie alongside Pirate Joe's treasured trident, which Scott stole just before Pix showed up.
  • Meanwhile, after Lizzie hides the illegally purchased items away, fWhip accidentally finds them in one of Lizzie's chests and steals them.
• Pix attempting to make up an explanation to Sausage about his visions and time/dimension-hopping issue and connecting it with sleep and the unconscious, and directing him to Gem for more information about dimension travel. This eventually, somehow, leads to a very entertaining conversation where Gem explains bluntly what live-action roleplay is, and while Sausage is off freaking out in a corner about what he's learnt, Gem remarks that Sausage, who didn't have the perk of inter-dimensional and meta memory at the time, is absolutely bonkers.
• After Joel beats Jimmy in a PVP fight, his prize to Jimmy for losing is a giant statue of him sprinkling down Sheriff toys from the skies like in the Salt Bae meme. It must be seen to be believed.
  Joel: Do you think he's gonna notice?
  Sausage: (choking on his laughter) "Do you think he's gonna notice?!" This is the beginning of the villain arc that we've been waiting for!
• On the Hermits' end, when Pearl gets Tagged, she gets intel from Pix that there was an Ancient City right under Gobland, and since her designated method of Tagging was by Warden, it made her job a lot easier than she initially expected. Naturally, she builds a piston pit trap with raw gold blocks as the bait, summons in a Warden from an active shrieker just beyond Gobland's borders, and leads fWhip over to the trap in the somewhat-guise of a peace treaty... but since fWhip is standing just out of reach for the piston trap to work while mining the raw gold blocks, Pearl must be thanking her lucky stars that she used two observers for her trap instead of just one.
  Pearl: (mining the second raw gold block on the observers) Take it all. Take it all– (cracks up)
  (fWhip falls into the pit)
  fWhip: (incomprehensible speech)
  fWhip was slain by Bob Says It's Tag Time
• Scott's first reaction to the spread of the Sculk and soul light source-based corruption is criticizing it for its lack of creativity.
  Scott: Guys, c'mon, a corruption-like thing spreading over a server? Like, that's so last year. It's so last year. I've done that.
• When Impulse gets Tagged and is assigned to kill someone with an anvil, he decides to go the whole hog when trapping the portal to the Nether roof of his victim — not only leaving a riddle on signs as a distraction, but through the execution of his plan.
  Impulse: (builds a block covering and accidentally drops an anvil on himself)
  Scott: You okay there?
  Impulse: Yeah, I dropped something.
  (CLANK!)
  Smajor1995 was squashed by a falling anvil
  • Even funnier is the fact that in actuality, it was not a falling anvil that was used for the kill... it was 200 anvils.^note Impulse's clip of setting up the trap shows the anvils being placed on a 20×10 grid.
  • After the incident, it's confirmed that the answer to the riddle was 'an umbrella'.
• While investigating the Hermits with Sausage, Oli, and Pix, Katherine learns about how the Hermitopia wool farm far exceeds her GlimmerGrovian one in productivity due to industrialization. Her reaction is to declare she's destroying Grumbot and seizing the Hermits' products as her own, then to smash one of Grumbot's fingers up, proclaiming him to be "weak to pickaxe".
• One of Joel's proposed laws for the Law-Lore team-up is as follows:
  2. Murder is fine as long as it's a funny murder^note It's later defined that a murder is only considered "funny" if the victim found it Actually Pretty Funny
• Fort Riff-less, Jimmy and fWhip's "clubhouse" to cover up the Rift and prevent the Hermits from going home, has spawned quite a few interesting moments surrounding the events related to its entire motive.
  • The concept of Fort Riff-less existing at all. While the stone wall built to cover up the Rift isn't a flat slab, it's clear that the cliff-face is no more than a façade as it still looks relatively unnatural against the landscape.
  • Pixl and Sausage pulling a Pirate Joe and robbing Jimmy's TNT wagon directly, in order to make a missile to destroy Grumbot.
  • Pixl dropping the 'riffs' from his name temporarily to join Fort Riff-less. Grian is kind enough to point this out as the most obvious flaw in the apparent plan when the Hermits actually gather to leave.
    fWhip: Hello, and welcome to Fort Riff-less! What can we do for you?
    Grian: Well, you've definitely got a 'riff' in the Riff-less Fort.
    (The Empires members express confusion)
    Grian: There's a Pixlriffs right there.
  • Upon the revelation that Grumbot was allegedly a doomsday device:
    fWhip: Yeah, he just wants to destroy the server. He– he wants to blow up the server and the entire world.
    Jimmy: But we already did tha– I mean, I– oh. Okay. Alright. That– How do we get rid of him?
  • When the Hermits actually try to leave, this somehow devolves into a physical fight between the members of the two servers.
• Grian's first reaction to the Empires rulers crossing over through the Rift is to call for Impulse to play the opening tune of the Hermitcraft Recap.
  Pix: This week on Hermitcraft... me.
  (Everyone else laughs)
  Pix: That's right, folks! I made it!
• Scott's return to Chromia from Hermitcraft is welcomed with Chromia turning from very colourful to... very orange in his absence, making it very evident who (or rather, which llama) redecorated the place while he was away. Understandably, Scott does not react well to this, considering his 23rd episode's outro starts playing just before he can drop a very loud Precision F-Strike.

Post-Crossover Episodes

• Hermes' first message to Joel after the crossover features... an interesting addendum.
  Hermes: (via signs) Also..Can u tell me where babies come from. I hear I've got siblings!
  Joel: (to himself) Ooh, that's awkward, isn't it? (immediately diverts his attention to the hot-air balloon Hermes is riding in) Hermes, you're a bit young, still, to know where babies come from. It involves... Jimmy, and... dancing... You'll understand in the future when you're older, I'll explain it in more detail, you don't have to worry about that right now, okay? Alright? Good, because– (to himself and the audience) –I will do a terrible job at explaining that. (turns his attention back to building)
• Remember how Scott set up multiple entrances to the Black Market and got half the server in on it, in an attempt to deflect the blame? Yeah, that plan did not work out in the slightest when ultimately, he's the one who gets caught sneaking down there by the Sheriff.
  • And Jimmy's revenge? Paying a visit to Chromia to start marking down prices on everything in the kingdom to sell. The fact that there's an element of Misplaced Retribution in the revenge (as it was fWhip who was selling the Sheriff badges down there) somehow makes it funnier, especially when Scott points it out in-universe.
• When Sausage makes fun of Tumble Town in his 39th episode, claiming it to be the Western expansion of Scarland, Jimmy hunts him down and kills him. After the incident, fWhip is called in as a "lawyer" when Sausage semi-jokingly threatens legal action. When asked about whether he actually died, Sausage cites that his XP level is 0 as proof. That much is true. Then, he claims that his XP level was 69 before he died. This is blatantly untrue.^note He was on XP level 5.
• Lizzie's St. Valentine's Day short, "surprise your minecraft crush :)", has her rig a chest of goodies with TNT in Stratos.
  Lizzie: I promise you that your crush will be very surprised.
• Oli's third episode feels like a drug trip and a half, but among it, some highlights:
  • Several of the scenes make reference to Oli flirting with Maria, Eddie, and possibly Sausage at the end. Considering he also had a kid with Joel back on Hermitcraft, this man's quite literally romancing every adult in the family.
  • Shelby being treated as "the local physician" in spite of having zero medical training.
  • The fact that the Dragon Egg absolutely refuses to leave Oli, from following him home from the End dimension after he tries to drop it off to be raised by Endermen, to teleporting out of an obsidian box on a deserted island miles away from civilization.
  • When Oli finally accepts 'parenthood' and tries to ask others on the server for parenting advice, no one other than Sausage gives a half-decent response. Lizzie's panicked overprotectiveness is sympathetic, if smothering, but Pix's Victorian old man reply takes the cake.
    Pix: Here he is! It's David [the copper-aging machine]!
    Oli: Pix, this is a machine.
    Pix: That's the problem with these youngsters! You've gotta put them to work! Send him to the workhouse!
    • This does, of course, imply that Pix considers his copper-aging setup his actual child.
  • Oli might act and sound the part of a Panicky Expectant Father when the Dragon Egg starts hatching, but several of the comments Sausage and Shelby make throughout the process makes it sound like something else entirely.
• Dark Sausage invading the Empires world again in itself is horrifying, but considering his eerily similar appearance to the regular Sausage and his use of the Staff of Sanctuary, Shelby and fWhip quickly rationalize that he's regular-Sausage having a bad day, needing a nap (after trying to escape the alternate Mythland for over a millennium) and some herbal tea and a throat lozenge for his hoarse voice. The dissonance somehow manages to be both horrific and hilarious at the same time.
  • Speaking of which, the prank on Pirate Joe in the first place. Using a mechanism oddly reminiscent of a certain prank early in Season 1, the plan was to give him a map which leads him to "Treasure"... and by that, they mean a Ravager named 'Treasure', hidden under an "X" Marks the Spot in the desert.
• When Joel asks Lizzie for advice on what to build in Lower Stratos to honour all the other empires, Lizzie pointedly suggests a place where the people can learn, i.e. a bookshop for her own sales pitch. However, when Joel points out that they already receive religious education at the church, Lizzie dismisses it on the spot, referring to it as "indoctrination" to his face.
  • Once the bookshop is completed, Lizzie hands out several enchanted books to help Joel get started... along with her new book titled "Rebellion 101", clearly showing that she has negative fucks to give.
    In this helpful guide you will learn how to overthrow your overlords.
    How do you know if your land is being ruled by an evil overlord? It's quite simple really, does your leader make grand displays of power to remind people of their lower standing?
    If so, you could be dealing with an evil overlord.
    The first step is to recogn[i]se the tricks your overlord uses to make you submit.
    Then it's time to burn down the temples and statues.
    Finally, tell your overlord that his muscles are puny and his godly powers are silly. This will destroy the overlord from the inside and finally free you from their oppressive power.
• After many months of ceaseless searching, Pix tracks down Rendog's "Giblets" in the Gobland artifact shop... only to see his stolen museum exhibits hanging on the walls.
• The start of Jimmy's villain arc somehow drives him to become buff, and to prove it... he's showing his "abs" off. Clearly, someone has been taking lessons in intimidation from GoodTimesWithScar. It doesn't get much better from here... no, it gets more pathetic from here.
  • After sneaking into Animalia to rob the place of its anvils, Jimmy leaves the message "thanks for the anvils!" in the in-game chat. This is just after noticing Lizzie is building in the empire at the time, and thinking that he has to be extra sneaky about it. It's quite evident that stealth is not the Sheriff's forte.
  • Lizzie's first reaction to blatant anvil robbery being boasted in the chat? Commenting that Jimmy missed a spot and really should Do Wrong, Right.
    LDShadowLady: so you uhhh
    LDShadowLady: you didnt find the one in the city centre then
    • The missed anvil in question turns out to have an observer underneath. Which is connected to a boatload of TNT minecarts. Its presence is clearly not a coincidence. This is less than 7 minutes into the first episode of his villain arc.
• While being put under arrest for the murder that kicked off Jimmy's "villain arc", Sausage reports that Sanctuary has been robbed of about 50 anvils.
  • The two sheriffs proceed to lock him in jail with all of his items, only for Sausage to trick the Old Sheriff into getting stuck into the toilet and break out through the window with a pickaxe.
  • Then, after pointing out that he Speaks Fluent Animal and has his parrots as witnesses, Jimmy tries to lure Sausage into an open field to bomb him. Sausage unsurprisingly sees right through it, but it's funny from how blatantly obvious the ruse is.
• When Sausage visits the Evermoore to ask Shelby if she's seen Dark Sausage around lately, he explains that his evil counterpart has built a tower in Sanctuary and that he has to "take him out".
  Shelby: Oh... on a date?
• With the way the server is, it's inevitable that Jimmy finds out about and busts down the Gobland-Animalia gunpowder joint venture. When fWhip and Lizzie try to plea their case that they gave the bat Villagers a home and jobs in Animalia processing the gunpowder, Jimmy points out that since they're bats, the cavern in which they were found and "rescued" from was their natural habitat, and the two essentially kidnapped them from their beds. The man might be on a self-professed villain arc, but considering bats^note as in the animals naturally spawn in caves in-game, he has a point.
• Katherine and Gem get together to organize a princess tea party at the former's castle, but then decide to invite everyone because of how big the castle is.
  • Some of their invitation ideas are worded quite bluntly, and the two princesses are... very insistent on the attire.
    You are invited to a party! Wear a dress, kat's^note They couldn't fit Katherine's name on the anvil renaming system
    glimmer grove tea party. wear a dress or die
    glimmergrove be there or be square. wear a dress
    princessss partyyyyy wear dresssss
    take a sip, wear a dress. glimmergrove
    Tea party! Wear a dress or you'll be shamed foreve^* r
  • At Shelby's entrance, she and Katherine immediately start complimenting each other, which Gem interrupts by telling them not to flirt at the entrance.
  • After Pix's introduction, everyone other than Gem and Katherine dissolves into... a kissing fest.
    • It's most likely out-of-character, but immediately after that, Pix mutters, "Tumblr's gonna love that bit."
  • Jimmy casually announces that he drank 7 of the Sanctuary mojitos that Sausage brought.
    Oli: He's just a little guy. Jimmy, it's gonna affect you.
    Joel: Tumbling down the Town.
  • The game of Hide and Seek quickly devolves into a game of Murder Mystery when Pix inexplicably withers to death. Scott gets his hands on the Crown because he's lucky enough to pick it up first, prompting suspicion and... the conversation turning very awkward.
    Scott: I just got out here first, I didn't kill him.
    Shelby: So you were closest to the body when it happened?
    fWhip: You got here– I was right down here [at the bottom of the staircase]!
    Katherine: That is suspicious.
    Scott: (to fWhip) And I was in Katherine's bedroom! It was easy enough to j–
    Joey: What were you doing in Katherine's bedroom? (punches him)
    Shelby: WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THERE?
    Scott: Wait, I was allowed to hide, guys, there's no limits to spaces, there was no off-limit zones.
    Joey: That's a little creepy, though.
    Scott: Katherine's also not my type!
    Shelby: She's everyone's type.
    Scott: Disagree.
• Scott's rule as King is that all empires must build something of their choice in Chromia. Naturally, this leads to shenanigans:
  • fWhip, being fWhip, hides dozens of Sculk shriekers under his plot and rigs them to trigger every time someone walks over them, leading to many Jump Scares across the POVs.
  • Sausage builds a dance studio, where the "dance stations" are three poles... which are clearly there to hold up the ceiling, if Lizzie cutting her visit there short and Katherine doing a 180 right after seeing its interior are anything to go by.
  • Both Oli and Joel use their plots to build statues of themselves... and to no one's surprise at this point in the season, they both add a "ceremonial bell" between their statues' legs.
    • Also to no one's surprise, Sausage rings Oli's "ceremonial bell" when he sees it... and Jimmy refuses to look in that direction anymore.
  • Lizzie declares herself to be Surrounded by Idiots from having to construct an Arcology in her Chromian plot... while being forced to listen to Oli's note-block contraption play Crazy Frog on repeat.
  • The way Scott loses the Crown is hysterical to watch: after constructing an embassy for Dawn, Gem wanders into Scott's megabase and sees the Crown just sitting there on his shelf of collected hats and head accessories, so she just yoinks it. Scott's reaction to finding out about the theft is golden as well.
• Lizzie's short "I counted all the buildings in Empires" has a couple of funny moments:
  • In contrast to everyone else, who has a reasonable number of buildings in their respective settlements, Oli is stated to have "3… tents."
  • Also in regard to the numbers, the smaller empires tend to have at least 10 buildings, whereas the bigger ones have a few dozen, where Gobland has 48 as the second-highest empire on the leaderboard. The most? Sanctuary, which isn't surprising due to Sausage being a building fiend, but the number at the time of recording… just seems too coincidental.
    TheMythicalSausage: (in the comments) Nice! 😂
• After obtaining the Crown from Katherine, fWhip's new rule as King sounds like it got plucked straight out of the QSMP: his rule is that all rulers must adopt and care for a Goblin child "to help with the sudden population growth" from when apparently a boatload of Goblin children popped out of the ground.^note In actuality, they are retextured eggs; out-of-universe, it might have been a remnant from Joel's chicken dispenser prank from months ago.
  • Scott ends up finding this out when he approaches fWhip at his spawn base, hoping to kill him for the Crown, only to be completely blindsided by the babies. Despite his protests that he wouldn't be a good dad, he ends up leaving the area with a child in hand, completely confused by the whole thing.
    Scott: And here I thought this server couldn't get any weirder...
  • The fact that fWhip has to explicitly state "DO NOT YEET THE CHILD" in his books explaining his rule.
    • While Scott is decorating the interior of his megabase, one misclick and the child assigned to him has hatched into a baby chick.
    • Jimmy accidentally yeets the child assigned to him while eating^note which isn't very hard to do, because "eat food" and "throw egg" use the same button. The fact that it happens just around ten seconds after he obtains the child is hysterical.
    • During fWhip's "authentic Deep Dark tour", he shoves Shelby off the carpeted walkway after the Warden is summoned. Shelby's reaction to the Warden approaching her is to act like a quokka mom — screaming for it to take her child, throwing the Goblin baby at it, and running in the opposite direction. It does not spare her from getting killed by the Warden.
    • While recovering from the aforementioned Deep Dark tour, Joel accidentally misclicks while eating, hatching the child as well.
      Scott: You hatched it as well? Congrats!
    • Lizzie's reaction to accidentally yeeting the first child assigned to her is, by Empires and Lizzie standards, a very rare Precision S-Strike, covered up by an error screen and a scene cut. After this, she grabs about ten Goblin children from Spawn in case of the need for a replacement... which she needs another eight of.
  • The fact that Oli bakes/crafts the dozen or so Goblin children he adopted into cakes and pies and eats them. In front of fWhip. Live on stream. And seemingly boasts about it in song days later.
  • As a result of this rule, many server-members are forced into parenthood, and as mentioned above, many of these forcibly adopted children end up being yeeted in one way or another. This ultimately ends with Joel, resident father of at least four children spread across two servers, murdering fWhip... for stealing his brand.
• Sausage's first epilogue has him chat with Bubbles about his Magic and the ongoings of Sanctuary... and Bubbles excitedly saying that the sheriff toys are her favourites to chew on.
• In his finale, the Old Sheriff and Jimmy dig under Animalia to find... a rather disturbing Stalker Shrine of the Law. What makes this funny is that the damned thing was built before the Hermitcraft crossover, and it has taken literal months for anyone (other than Grian) to find out about it.^note Technically and from a meta standpoint, Jimmy first found out about it while reacting to a fan animatic in early 2023, but had zero context to what was going on.
• In his epilogue, a Freeze-Frame Bonus shows that one of the locations Scott and Owen explore is a cavern with a suspiciously familiar antler mural on its walls, with gold blocks embedded within. Knowing this incarnation of Scott and his tomb-crashing tendencies, it's very likely that rude and disrespectful as it may be, he might have actually robbed his Season 1 counterpart's grave.
