  • From "Better Disney Theme Park Movies", her 7th suggestion is based on Cars Land, which begins amusingly as she hypothesizes that due to it being a different setting than Radiator Springs from the series, it's possibly its own Alternate Continuity... then it takes a hard turn for the creepy once she actually gets into the proposed story that verges on Surreal Horror, not helped by her abruptly emotionless narration.
  • Top 10 reasons why I don't do ASMR. The spiders. Dear good the spiders, just starring into your soul the whole video.
    • In general, Jenny's fascination with spiders can lend itself to this; particularly in videos from "The Quest For the Man-Sized Spider" (which itself features a close-up shot of a live tarantula) onwards, where her enormous Aragog plush takes up nearly half the screen beside her.
  • Her review of the second Target Porg in her "Rating. Every. Porg." video.
    "It looks almost the same [as the first target Porg], but just different enough to unnerve and confuse you. Like waking up in your house to find everything shifted an inch to the right. Your family at breakfast. But something unfamiliar behind their eyes."
    • The post-credits scene of this particular video is a close up of porg plush starring into the viewer's soul with its huge lifeless eyes.
  • In "Evermore: The Theme Park That Wasn't" Jenny talks about the lack of enforced boundaries between the park's employees (who, unlike larger theme parks like Disney and Universal, have one performer per character) and guests, making it very easy for unhealthy attachments to form. Jenny specifically mentions the amount of immersion expected from the characters goes well beyond what would be expected in other parks or even other LARP scenarios; specifically that there is no real "backstage" area for performers to take a breather, and little to no security they could go to for help if needed. The actors are essentially in character at all times, regardless of wether they're comfortable with the interaction they're having. Jenny admits that even thinking about a scenario like this gives her goosebumps, and she's not the only one.
    "At Evermore, the best they could do would be to sprint into the empty field neighboring the park, like they're in Jeepers Creepers or something. Or maybe, they could retreat into the changing room, located in one of the unfinished buildings at the east side of the park. And that's assuming a guest can't just follow you inside..."
