* His take on Marc Summers' famously hosting ''Series/DoubleDare'' despite his OCD. While agreeing that it has to at least be mentioned, he also stresses that Summers wasn't diagnosed until after the show ended and so even he had no idea the job was so antithetical to his mental condition, let alone the accusations that have cropped up that the executives were exploiting him, and ultimately bows to Summers' own statement that he loved the job.

* The ''Kids in Motion'' video occasionally features clips from an interview with creator Julie Weisman Markovitz from just a couple weeks before the video was posted. At the end, it's revealed that close timing is because Greg himself was able to do the interview.

* Tearing into the ValuesDissonance of ''Series/MrEd'', which gets him so furious that he actually gives distinct notice that the portion of the video where he objectively lays out the show's history has ended, and anyone who thinks they might not be able to handle someone disagreeing with them about it should stop watching.

* The review of ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' blows past the show's bad reputation due to its shoddy animation, with huge ''Original Series'' fan Greg praising it as a worthy follow-up whose writing and acting completely overcome any technical issues, ending up declaring it worthy of being considered a canonical fourth season.

** He reveals that the production company actually contacted him after his review of ''Series/TheTomorrowPeople'', and offered an interview with both shows' creator Roger Price...which he turned down as it was clearly an attempt to censor what he would say about the show after his quite negative views on ''Tomorrow People''.

** In the same episode, he calls out Roger Price for his "boys will be boys mentality" (Allowing Playboy magazines around the young actors and allowing ''peep holes'' through the girls dressing rooms), as well punishing young male actors by forcing them to wear dresses [[FreudianExcuse because of his own experiences]].

* The brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech at the people mocking ''Vegetable Soup'' for its creepy puppets, as getting so hung up on this means you completely dismiss a well-written series about important issues, with one of the major contributors being a woman with full creative control at a time when that was very rare.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome:
** The Lasso Rant.
** A small but no less impressive moment often overlooked comes during his review of ''#29. The Sickness'' when he breaks down the Yeerks' personal growth as a culture, from rapid expansion and conquest to questioning the morality of their actions to full-blown revolutionary movement to stop enslaving innocent hosts all in less than forty years, which basically serves as a prelude to the insightful discussions he'd later give during his review of ''#33. The Illusion'' and ''VISSER''.
** His [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19n06LM9k8w Asylum of the Daleks skit]] where he slams Amy's poor characterization.
** Greg gives a wonderful discussion on the various points of symbolism in a kids animated TV show and how it relates to fiction in general during his review of ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' Episode 3 "Quick and the Fed."
** While he was reviewing ''#33. The Illusion'', Greg talked about Yeerk physiology as a sort of prequel to his upcoming review of ''VISSER'' which further delved into their status as sentient beings and how that tied into their parasitic natures and their interactions with host bodies.
*** And finally, during his review of ''VISSER'', Greg offered an intelligent and complex look at the Yeerks as a species and concluded that despite the suffering they spread across entire races and even though there was evil individual Yeerks the species themselves were not so much evil as immature and needed time to develop. The 10/10 rating Greg gave this book was deserved.

** While reviewing ''{{Literature/Animorphs}} #42. The Journey'', a particularly bad book most fans universally despise, Greg naturally gets to rant over quite a few things, but what's his greatest ire reserved for? The book propagating the myth that pit bulls are naturally aggressive and dangerous animals that need to be put down. Especially awesome since the author also wrote a series about an animal hospital.
