* HeartwarmingInHindsight: In Episode 29 of their Sims playthrough, Erica declined Dil's wedding invitation, yet showed up anyway, seemingly to taunt him. But it is revealed several episodes later that [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Tabitha and Erica are fairly good friends,]] [[OddFriendship despite their differing personalities.]] Thus it could be interpreted that Erica declined Dil's invitation, but then realized who the bride was, so [[PetTheDog she came to the wedding to support her friend]] despite loathing the groom.

* BaseBreaker: Their playthrough of "My Horse Prince" was slightly controgersial, with some fans enjoying the game's sense of humor and over-the-top parody, and others finding the central concept of a girl falling in love with what is, for all intents and purposes, ''a horse'', too weird and uncomfortable to be funny. Dan and Phil acknowledged this and opted to do a marathon episode to finish the game rather than continue as they had with more parts, so both sides could have what they wanted.

** On a meta level, just how many viewers (including people on ThisVeryWiki) who are ''genuinely invested'' in the life of someone else's Sim. Phil definitely isn't alone when he says he'd probably cry if Dil died.
