* In ''Carrying Monsters'', Titus reveals that in 2017, after going to court ''sixty times in thirteen years'', he lost custody of his kids, in part because he blew up at his son slacking off in school and partly because he talked too much in court. He reconnected with them in 2019, but he didn't get to see his children for two years.

* ''5th Annual End of the World Tour'': Near the end of the special, Titus starts talking about how scared he was raising his children without his father around to help him or guide him. It becomes funny immediately afterwards, but it's clear that he was terrified about becoming a father without having one to guide him through it.
--> Step up, or step aside, isn't that right? Step up, or step aside, and what happened? World's coming apart, I got two little kids, and you're not here! ''You stepped aside''!

** His confession that he was almost DrivenToSuicide in the wake of his ending marriage is uncomfortable at best and heart-wrenching at worst, especially when he reenacts the moment he was just about to end it all, brokenly sobbing about his wife inevitably taking all the good things in his life like his house and his children...

** Apparently that was close to reality, except Titus was considering killing himself ''between sets'' at the comedy club he was playing at when he found out the news. He was at his lowest, and thought there'd be no greater BlackComedy than a comedian killing himself between sets at a club.

* ''Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding'' is a tour-de-force of BlackComedy, perfectly establishing Titus' knack for finding funny in dark places, right up until the most devastating moment of the special: Titus gets a call from his dad about Juanita, who moved to Missouri, hooked up with yet another abusive man, and went crazy (this time, chucking a Duraflame log through the window of the sheriff's office), and was sentenced to court-ordered psychiatric therapy. After a year of therapy, Juanita has a breakthrough and finally takes some responsibility in her life -- ''by killing herself''. As Titus tells it, he was rather apathetic and in denial (but was relieved that Juanita didn't kill anyone else, as she was deranged enough to do just that), up until he suddenly had a panic attack during a flight, and spent 53 minutes [[note]]He was wearing a watch.[[/note]] crying in the airplane bathroom. This whole section of the performance - even after subsequent specials of ''very'' emotionally charged material - is some of the most disarming material Titus has ever performed.
