  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The ending of the "Atoms" video. First, Tim gets hit by an electron in a football field, and then we go inside an apple, and then we go back to the field where Moby throws Tim his football and tackles him.
  • Broken Base: The videos being exclusive to subscribers only can be divisive. While some can agree that this is done as it's a business, others think the opposite. Thankfully, some videos are free on the website and on the official YouTube page.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • While reading fan mail about the reproductive system, Moby bursts into laughter.
    • In the "Democracy" video, the intro has Tim lament that his idea for his dance not being chosen. While wearing a toga, he realizes he has an idea for the dance. He shouts out "Toga! Toga! Toga! Toga! Toga!" to Moby's shock. Tim then smiles.
  • Die for Our Ship: On the Internet, there are tons of Tim/Moby shippers who hate Tim's canon love interest, Rita. They either bash her or choose to completely ignore her existence.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • Tim saying "How's...THIS?!" and turning into a monster near the end of the "Halloween" video.
    • Moby wrecking a city and then shooting the viewer at the end of the "Bridges" video.
  • Tear Jerker: Any episode that deals with a serious subject like death, mourning, and extinction. The mourning episode is the biggest one of all, as it ends with a long, silent tribute to Naomi Prawer Kadar, who was a very essential member of the BrainPOP crew.
