* All three of the finalist videos of the 01/01/23 episode:
** First is a man who didn't realize he had left a very long trail of toilet paper from the bathroom all over the house until he sat down to eat.
** Second is a woman, affectionately known by her neighbors as the "mother-in-law", who pranks her neighbors by filming herself as she is the first to go down their new waterslide. It doesn't quite go as planned:
--->'''Woman''': Mother-in-law's gonna be the first down your slide!\\
(''She climbs up and starts to slide down. Halfway down, the slide topples over with her still on it.'')\\
(''beat'')\\
'''Woman''': ...Mother-in-law broke your water slide!
** In the third video (which won the $20,000), a mom catches her young son having given his baby brother bright red eyebrows and red on the top of his head with a red marker. The reason? In the boy's words: "'Cause he hasn't got no hair!"

* A video was shown featuring a guy "head-butting" horseshoes. The first time, his helmet fell off. The second time, his friend said "Wait, the helmet!"--this show loves AmusingInjuries. It's the loud "DING!" that is heard when the guy is hit by the horseshoe that seals it.

* One $10,000 winner from Season 19 shows a toddler-aged boy so excited to blow out the candles on his birthday cake that he blows them out before his family can even start singing "Happy Birthday to You", and even tries to blow out the lighter when they try to light the candles back. [[OverlyLongGag Multiple times.]] After several failed attempts, the kid figures out that the lighter lights the candles and ''grabs it to try to light the candles back himself'' (luckily it's immediately taken away from him before he can attempt to use it). Once the candles are lit again, the family speeds through the song before he finally blows the candles out. And according to the family after the video won, they had to do their darnedest to make sure he didn't blow out the candles on his older sister's cake when her birthday came around, too.

* The infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9r9aONp0Uk&t=8m34s hornet's nest video]] from ''Nincompoop-a-Rama''.[[note]]The video shows a man [[WhatAnIdiot throwing apples at a hornet's nest just to see what happens]]. He misses the first two times, then gets a direct hit on the third to predictable results. There's an "IQ Meter" at the top-left of the screen that slowly descends as he continues throwing apples--when he successfully hits the nest, it's ''rapidly'' shooting down to zero.[[/note]]

* Perhaps the best pinata clip features no violence whatsoever. The children manage to bust open the pinata, only to discover that there's nothing in it. The mother then says "[[WhatAnIdiot Oh, they don't come with candy? You mean I have to buy it myself?]]"

* In one episode of Nat Geo Wild's ''Animal Edition'' of the show, the episode counted down the "Top Ten Times [the animals] Were Less Afraid Than You Were" (i.e. people overreacting to animals being near them). The video chosen as the #1 pick involves a woman swimming frantically and hysterically screaming into her camera like a deadly animal is after her. The animal that has driven her into this panicked frenzy is a ''manatee'' (which, as both the woman's friends and Alfonso himself repeatedly point out, [[GentleGiant poses absolutely no threat to her whatsoever]]), whom the whole time does nothing but lazily swim by her without a care in the world.
