YMMV / After Midnight

• Crosses the Line Twice: Bianca Del Rio telling viewers (in her usual decorum) that one great part of getting old is that diarrhea is a water-based lubricant. Everyone needs a minute to compose themselves after that nugget of information.
• Fan Nickname: The "training couch" (a small, pale-blue model couch) that Taylor started putting on her podium at the beginning of the Talk Show Segment, was an immediate hit with viewers, and became known as simply "the tiny couch." In fact, when it disappeared for several days after its debut, comment sections immediately began filling up with "bring back the tiny couch!!!" Taylor eventually did, to the fandom's relief.
• Growing the Beard: It only took two or three weeks before Taylor Tomlinson settled into her loose, breezy style of hosting, and most agree that helped this version of the show find its feet.
• Moe: The show never has a shortage of cute animal videos once in a while to break up all the craziness of the other videos. Also, for some, Taylor Tomlinson herself falls firmly under this trope.
• Most Wonderful Sound: For some people, the show wasn't truly back until the legendary Ron Funches showed up and they got to hear his trademark giggle.
• One-Scene Wonder: Marc Rebillet's epic Super Bowl halftime show. When even Maria Bamford doesn't know what to make of you, you're something special.
• Squick:
  • Taylor once showed a video of a guy trying to eat raw chicken every day until it makes him sick.
  • Rob Huebel licking his fingers all throughout the February 12, 2024 edition comes back to bite him once he dabs ketchup off a table and licks it off his fingers for a game — gross, stale ketchup that had been sitting under studio lights all day. Taylor has a full-body cringe at this.
  • Putting gross stuff in your mouth seems to be the way to get Taylor to freak out — in one episode, Taylor offered up "my best tooth" as a prize, which was a prop tooth (at least hopefully it's a prop) wrapped in a bloody napkin. That's already squicky enough, before the episode's winner, Zach Noe Towers, puts it in his mouth immediately upon winning and ruins Taylor's day.
