* On Boba's first casual playthrough of VideoGame/MetalGearSolid on stream, she accidentally finds a way to [[https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/p4zpic/ glitch through a door]]. This glitch ended up catching the eye of the speed-running community, who explored the glitch and discovered that not only was the glitch a major time-save, but it also was applicable to most speedruns of [=MGS=]. The glitch is now known as the "Boba Skip", though Boba wanted to call it "Kevin".

* On Boba's first casual playthrough of VideoGame/MetalGearSolid on stream, she accidentally finds a way to [[https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/p4zpic/ glitch through a door]]. This now being called the Boba Skip got big attention from speed running communities and is able to cut 2.5 minutes.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dAlqeGWhXQ Team Fortress 2 Celebrity Deathmatch, round 2]]. After a humiliating defeat in round one, the RED Team (consisting of Simon, Lewis, and ''[[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Notch]]'', among others) begins a beautiful [[spoiler:[[DownerEnding but short lived]]]] comeback as Simon/Honeydew (as a Heavy) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=7dAlqeGWhXQ#t=1069s massacres nearly all]] [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass of the BLU Team]], consisting of [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit TotalBiscuit]], 2 [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 TF2]] Staff members, Creator/FreddieWong, and a [=TF2=] pro on the BLU side.

* Strippin breaking out of Turps' car boot, and chasing him away. Later, once the Yognews episode's done, he chases Turps across multiple parks, showing him clearly in control even though Turps has the head start. [[spoiler:Then they settle it with a nice, cold beer.]]

* During Zoey's runthrough of [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Pokemon X]], she finally encounters the legendary beast [[spoiler:Xerneas]]. Her response? [[spoiler:To throw a Quick Ball at it on the first turn ''and catch it'']]. Zoey is awesome at Pokémon in general, really.
** She then tops off the above by [[spoiler:defeating [[BigBad Lysandre]] without Xerneas. Special mention goes to Chou for taking down Gyarados and tanking an Outrage attack]].

* The end of their first ''Dead By Daylight'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT3TGdzPyuY video]] is a double SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Lewis. Rythian, playing the killer, has systematically picked off every member of the group aside from Lewis and Tom, the latter whom keeps getting caught and managing to wriggle free. Lewis makes it to the final generator and starts making progress on it, but Tom is finally put on the hook and Rythian storms off to look for Lewis. [[spoiler: Just as the first frames of Tom's death animation kick in, Lewis [[BigDamnHeroes silently shows up out of nowhere]], pulls Tom off as the dead players shout in bewilderment, and has him hide while he completes the generator. The generator is activated and the exit is made available, but Lewis is cornered and put on the hook while Tom activates the lever to the exit. When Rythian's attention turns and the gate opens, Tom offers to go back and save Lewis so they can both escape, but [[HeroicSacrifice Lewis declines and shouts for Tom to run just as Rythian is about to get him.]]]]

*** Which then went on to make a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnBvEddq7nw Dance remix]] of the metal cover
** After the [[SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced shocking but welcome]] inclusion of both [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]] (as a high-fidelity Mii Gunner costume) and [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Steve]] (as a perfectly low-fidelity separate character), some enterprising remixers have remade Diggy Diggy Hole in the style of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjmuqpxDosg MEGALOVANIA]].

* The 2017 livestreams managed to blow every previous year completely out of the water. How? '''$1,000,000 raised on the first night alone''', [[HolyShitQuotient that's how]]!

** Day 19. They've managed to raise '''$2,000,000. [[HolyShitQuotient YES]]'''.

** In the episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvnSJH7Qb0s "HE WAS A TRAITOR ALL ALONG?!"]] he pulls a spectacular IndyPloy when Lewis (his traitor buddy) kills himself with a SLAM. Tom finds the body, claims credit for the kill, and when Ben questions him on why Lewis had been exploded, Tom then claims it was a barrel kill, successfully fooling ''everyone''. His silver tongue is so potent that when he and Barry are the last ones alive, he distracts Barry long enough to harpoon him from behind. There's a reason why "[[https://youtu.be/0kGOcXSk5Hw?t=833 never trust Tom]] if he doesn't have ''solid proof''" is basically an ironclad rule, the man has an expertise bonus on deception checks and rolls high ''way too often''.

* Needless to say, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHmXtvbmE5g Kicky Kicky Flow]] definitely qualifies, while also a massive [[EarWorm ear worm]].

* When Gamechap insulted a yognaught on the yogs subreddit for criticising the quality of his content, Lewis immediately dismissed him from the network. You don not insult the fanbase.

** And finally, on day 30, they hit the $2,500,000 mark. [[Funny/Yogscast Bye bye, Turps' beard]].
