** The Castlevania marathon was hilarious with [[HurricaneOfPuns Toast]] and [[DeadpanSnarker Ana]], with the Castlevania 64 voice acting, the Paris Hilton book (turned up to eleven with Toast doing it in his [[Franchise/MetalGear Snake]] voice), and then the reading of some SoBadItsGood[=/=]Horrible fanfictions. And then finally, there is the moment where Ana has a special surprise for when the target is reached. Only Toast doesn't seem to know what it is. When they reach it: [[spoiler: Ana actually ends up planting on Toast's lips.]]

** During the climax of the [[Videogame/{{Earthbound}} Mr. Saturn]] Black Friday auction, it boiled down to a bidding war between three users. They only had five minutes to bid, but whenever someone would bid, the timer would be reset. This lasted for at least ahalf hour or so before it finally ended.

** One from a donator. During the 2010 Mario Marathon, one gimmick to raise donations was that after the scheduled ending, a certain amount raised would "purchase" an extra 2 hours of marathon. During one period, there was only a few minutes to go before time expired and the goal to add more time was seemingly out of sight... and a single, anonymous donator gave $1000, enough to keep the show going. Awesome, but only enough with a couple more $100+ donations. They reached the checkpoint with over two hundred dollars surplus.
