* ''Any'' of the "Silly the Clown" shorts qualify as nightmare-inducing. The shorts revolve around a MonsterClown disguised as a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4XdgJvDQJ8 doctor]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoXN_gfjKpA chef]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01mU-43qCuQ astronaut]], and even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc6Os0XuQfg Jesus Christ]], and luring unsuspecting people with its unsettling looks and mundane ways, then sending them flying into the sky via red balloons.

* Brandon's transformation in "The Hat", which is BodyHorror at it's finest.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT2aBtBLMCY Yummy Pie]] starts out relatively tame, until the very ending.

* Some may find the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znbwMkU0Ezw Harry the Handsome Butcher]] saga to be disturbing, considering [[spoiler: he walks around with his face missing and skeleton exposed for most of the saga]]. It's no wonder the man and woman at his counter are disturbed and the latter leaves a bad review.

* The titular character from “[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86GP3UuPEa0 Winston the Worm]]” looks innocent enough, if a little [[UglyCute unnerving]]. At first glance, he looks like a well-meaning character straight out of a kids’ edutainment show, giving the family a chance to use their imaginations while reading. For Greg and Chelsea, they are having the time of their lives in the books they read. For Bill, however, he immediately teleports into the Obituary section of his newspaper right into his own grave. Then, Winston makes his intentions known.
** His face when he reveals his true intentions. His humanlike teeth turn into sharp fangs as the camera zooms into him. There is a reason why he is the page image.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT2aBtBLMCY This short]] because she had her face ripped out and put into a pie.

* "Now That's What I Call Spooky" has a man showing his girlfriend a scary wallpaper in his iPad while a piercing scream is heard offscreen.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTw9O-hdxvM Book Report]]. It has nothing to do with a book report, but rather with the spider that shows up, which the guy writing a book report tries to kill. Before he can, the spider manages to type "Don't hurt me. I was once a man." on the computer. And right after that, the newspaper he was trying to kill the spider with whispers "A man...", and the spider crawls into the guy's mouth. What's even more horrifying is the implication that [[spoiler:''the newspaper'' was the one to type it, not the spider..]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip4z4k4jcRo Salt.]] Starts out innocently enough, with two guys pranking their friend with the "loosen the top of the salt shaker to make all the salt dump onto the food" prank. What makes it terrifying is when [[spoiler:the prank victim begins to eat the food (read: salt) anyway, and starts to rather graphically shrivel up.]] Sure the ending has a bit of MoodWhiplash, as is to be expected with Cyanide and Happiness, but still rather terrifying.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgX49xnAVgw That's It]]. A boy's bothering his sister, and their bickering prompts their dad to warn them that he'll turn the car around. The boy bothers her again, and their yelling leads to [[spoiler: their dad turning the car around and driving backgrounds through traffic at high speeds, with the boy and the girl screaming in horror as the car goes faster and his face gets angrier]]. A literal dark twist to an otherwise empty threat.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkxUzLy7GEo Ribs]]. Doubles as Tearjerker and BlackComedy. A terminally ill man with his ribs bulging through his skin is subjected to the doctor [[spoiler: [[BlackComedy playing his ribs like a xylophone until he flatlines]]]], and continuing to do so afterward. Cue the patient's wife looking on in shock and horror.

* Be careful what you [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrXar0yOJ1g&t=59s wish]]for.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3zjRcMnRNY Junk mail]] can give you money, enlarge your penis, and get you murdered by the spirit of a 13-year-old girl!

** It gets even worse when you wonder [[spoiler: [[FridgeHorror just how many people have died at Stevie's hands for similar reasons]]]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGbj2DDfHH8 Stevie McShortstuff]]. It starts off innocently with the titular character walking down the street while being greeted by citizens. A boy proceeds to [[{{Foreshadowing}} point out how short he is, but is stopped by his mother]]. A bully wastes no time teasing Stevie for his height. [[spoiler: Cue the the bully being ''[[{{Squick}} graphically crushed like a tin can by Stevie's powers until he's left as a pile of flesh with his spine and ribs exposed]], all while the latter retains his smile]]''. It's no wonder everyone was nice to him, even continuing to nervously and fearfully greet him as he keeps walking. [[spoiler: A baker is similarly killed when he unluckily advertises shortcakes as Stevie walks by; even [[{{Tearjerker}} begging for Stevie to spare him]] wasn't enough.]]

* The "Birthday Boy" short, in which the titular character brutally murders a pony thinking he and his friends will die otherwise.
