1!!''Kids React''
2* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOtXZa0Xp-w&t=2m59s Elle]] pulling off the first three lines of "[[Music/NickiMinaj Super Bass]]".
3* At long last, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW5kIRfbgnc Morgan's Words of Wisdom!]]
4-->"I feel sorry for her, [Honey Boo Boo] 'cause I would teach her to do like, baseball, and I would teach her to do fun things [...] I would not want her to be one of those childs that sits around, watch TV, eats a lot, and doesn't do anything really but beauty pageants, that's not healthy!"
5* There's just something golden about [[TheUnintelligible the normally unintelligible]] Royel delivering this gem in "Kids React To [=PonPonPon=]":
6-->'''Benny''': What do you think this song is called?\
7'''Royel''': The "I Don't Know" song, 'cause I don't know.
8* Just the thumbnail for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHWKQoAeoaI "Kids React to Dragon Baby"]]. Dylan's sweater really sells the 'kung fu moves' thing.
9* [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight Dylan of all people:]]
10--> "What is this country for, it starts with an 'E'... ''Equality'', that's right, okay, so why do you do that, just cause you see a gay couple, it doesn't mean you have to go (derp voice) "Ohh it's soo disguusting, you're kissing your own gender" (normal) It's their path, so, it really doesn't matter."\
11''Overlay'': '''DYLAN'S WORDS OF WISDOM'''
12** This might also have been the beginning of his later HiddenDepths.
13** Really, the entire video is all the kids calling out the online racists and proposing some genuinely good ideas as to how to deal with racism. Also a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
14* Emma R.'s [[HiddenDepths rather thoughtful words]] at the end of "Kids React to Music/AvrilLavigne - Hello Kitty", as well as the return of the very words "[[RunningGag Emma's Words of Wisdom]]"![[labelnote:*]]Albeit, with the current Emma saying it.[[/labelnote]]
15* The Fines put their own twist on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKeG08hC8gk ALS Ice Bucket Challenge]]: putting up $100 for every kid that agrees to go through with it. The resulting amount? ''$1200''.
16* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eud3eJloXEM&list=PLwnD0jwK0yymKsniXGb3IQoNmjhGGlE9K "Kids React to the Skip-It"]]. After a montage of messed-up attempts to use it (one kid even ''kicks it around in frustration''), we cut to the good attempts, and Lucas is happily chanting along and ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome rocking that thing]]''. Honorable mention goes to Jayka for doing well enough to stop on her own terms rather than messing up.
17* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar20hv0rpBM&list=PL23C220A2C5EC0FDE&index=1&feature=iv&src_vid=5rwAXR_LA9I&annotation_id=annotation_1213363401 "Kids React to Slap Her"]] has Lucas responding to people who abuse their spouses/significant others
18--> '''Lucas''': "I know that a lot. And they're dumb. Those people that do that are really dumb!"
19--> ''Overlay'': '''LUCAS'S WORDS OF WISDOM'''
20* Two years after Lucas was the only kid to speak against gay marriage, he responds to the country-wide legalization of gay marriage by saying he's now gotten a lot more information about it and has completely changed his mind.
21
22!!''Teens React''
23* [[http://youtu.be/mqyTN8bP-Rs?t=4m26s "Teens React to Happy Wheels"]]. Adam accomplishes the impossible by finishing a map that claimed everyone else ''in just one move.'' He goes with the pogostick and reaches the seemingly out of reach finish line overhead.
24** There are also several good moments from other people. Lia and Labib manage to complete at least one course everyone struggled with, ''in their first try''.
25* The very fact that they got ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2I2vRJ1R4w Maisie Williams]]'' as a guest star, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-KdEjvdG2U five]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKcDS1vb6DU times]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDOZbvE01Fk and]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-AqrzNMnFQ counting!]]
26* On Teens, Madison played ''Flappy Bird''... and got 43 points. And when she later stated her high score, 160, it was near-triple those of everyone else(the next highest was Ethan's, at 56).
27* During the Teens episode on ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', the AnimationAgeGhetto is discussed... and immediately shredded.
28--> '''Benny''': "Why is there a stigma, like when some people say 'anime' and a lot of people are like 'Aww, I hate it...'"\
29'''Labib''': "'Aww, you're so immature, you should grow up, {{blahblahblah}}...' Calm down."\
30'''Josh''': "In anime you could make things like, ''more'' intense than you could in things like ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' and ''Series/GameOfThrones''."\
31'''Eric''': "People are always like [[AnimationAgeGhetto "oh, it's cartoons, you can't watch it, it's for children",]] and then [[{{Hypocrite}} they]] go and see ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' twelve times, and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' ten times, ''so you can freaking watch anime people!''"\
32''Overlay'': '''TRUTH'''
33* In the video on Malala Yousafzai, Labib rebuts the Taliban as a perversion of everything Islam stands for, and says to the people now equating the religion with ISIS that he might as well say the Ku Klux Klan represents all white people.
34* In "Teens React to Power Glove (Nintendo)", Ethan James was the only reactor to score a victory over [[VideoGame/PunchOut Glass Joe]] with the Power Glove and doing so by knockout. And in his final ''Teens React'' appearance, to boot. Just one last CMOA in his ''React'' gaming collection.
35* All the teens providing thoughtful commentary on the '50s cigarette commercials, and how underhanded they were. And bonus points to Morgan having the courage to admit she did smoke a cigarette just once, which she notes her parents are finally going to learn about now.
36* When asked to comment on Caitlyn Jenner, many of the teens give their full support to transgender people, and for the few who don't, the Fines ask why they'd be okay with this kind of discrimination if they aren't okay with racial segregation, clearly blowing their minds and giving them a lot to think about.
37* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il9A2zn2CBk& Teens React to Jimmy Fallon & Kevin Hart Ride a Roller Coaster]], which was recorded on location at [[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal Orlando]]...and it ends with the Teens (and Rafi) getting to ride the actual roller coaster featured in the video.
38* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUlEIaINQ6Q Teens React to Man's Not Hot/The Ting Goes Memes]]: Jeremiah perfectly reciting the whole Da Ting Goes Skrra" part.
39
40!!''Elders React''
41* "Teens/Elders React to the Election": Rock, after spending the video touting the ideals of Mitt Romney, finally adds a last thought which anybody of any political persuasion can appreciate, which brings him close to tears:
42-->"I lost a brother in Vietnam, Toby. And he was a hero. It feels like he died last week. I've got other brothers who are alive; not all of 'em share my opinion. Make a choice: [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome You stand for something or you'll fall for everything.]] And God Bless America."
43* Barbara, [[TheScrappy of all people]], giving practical and wise advice during ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yLdCwzL42A Elders React to #Selfie]]". The following actually earns her the "Listen To Your Elders" overlay:
44-->"Kids aren't thinking about protecting themselves at all. Then, when they go to get a job when they're in their 20s, and they're real proud with their college degree, and they walk in, the interviewer says, 'by the way, I was looking for you, and look what I found! Your little nude selfie! How clever! Do we want you for us?' No, no, no, no, no."
45
46!!''[=YouTubers=] React''
47* In "[=YouTubers=] React to Try Not to Laugh", Jordan Maron manages to force himself through twice, and Harley manages to recover for the second time. Particularly impressive in the latter's case as he's TheHyena on ''React''. In the first attempt, [[TheSnarkKnight Shane Dawson]] and [[{{Keet}} Justine Ezarik]] also manage to get through the challenge without laughing once.
48** Jordan manages to defend his title in the second episode featuring these kinds of videos.
49* Amidst [[TrollingCreator trolling accusations]] from the {{hatedom}} and [=YouTube=] comments, Benny and Rafi put their money where their mouth is for "[=YouTubers=] React to The Slap", by [[ThrowItIn filming their own version with the guests.]] ''And volunteering to be slapped first.''
50* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mokUBFDsrGI "Try Not To Try As-Seen-On-Tv Products".]] The [=YouTubers=] watch some infomercials before being presented with the actual products, and one is a supposedly unbreakable torch that survived getting run over by ''a tank'' in the commercial. All the guys get mallets and protective gear to break the torch for themselves, but Creator/LiamOBrien of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' takes a CuttingTheKnot approach by ''whacking the torch itself on the table. IT WORKS.'' Cue the "BAD ASS" overlay.
51
52!! The ''React'' Channel
53[[AC:Lyrics Breakdown]]
54* ''Lyrics Breakdown'' featuring "[[Music/{{Nirvana}} Smells Like Teen Spirit]]". Adam and Alix identify it from the first couple of lines while most of the others ''have to be told at the end.''
55[[AC:Gaming]]
56* ''VideoGame/{{Trials}} Fusion'' has the teens [[http://youtu.be/XmbyurCTKkk?t=5m18s playing FMX Mode]] - Ethan James manages to pull a trick off at the end that resulted in StunnedSilence before an incredulous "How did you ''do'' that!?" is heard from off-camera. .
57* The first ever ''Gaming'' with Elders goes over remarkably well. Even the resident StrawCharacter Barbara gets into the gameplay easily enough. Bill caps it off by going on about how this sort of game could be beneficial to old folks.
58* Everhet's utterly blase reaction to ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'', a game that has reduced just about anyone else who's played it to a weeping mess.
59** Honorable mention goes to Tom for getting far enough to trigger Foxy.
60** Rachel also gets points for her NightmareFetishist reaction ("I LOVE BEING FRIGHTENED!")
61** Jeannie, who was the most scared of the game, successfully getting through the first night!
62** One more: Sam having the guts to taunt Chica ("Okay! I get it! You're not gonna win, ''loser!"'')
63* The second ''VideoGame/HappyWheels'' session (third if you count the ''Teens React'' episode). Ethan James does it again, being the only one who got through Jetpack Pro ''in one piece'' - a couple of others got dismembered before contacting the finish line stage. Special mention to Tori who managed to trigger Victory '''[[LudicrousGibs as a spray of organs!]]'''
64* Ethan James puts his money where his mouth is (metaphorically, as the Fines wouldn't let him gamble) in the first ever ''React: Gaming'' head-to-head session. That's right, the teens ''battle each other''... on ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''. Ignoring the flukes and accidents, Ethan does pretty well in the MeleeATrois.
65** And Everhet has one when he manages to win the Wii U ''Smash Bros.'' tournament, beating even Ethan James as he was brought back to the final.
66* The Elders play frustrating Flash fan game ''Unfair Mario''. Of all the eight elder reactors who played the game, ''Barbara'' is the only elder to not only reach the checkpoint in Level 1, but to ''beat it''. Better yet, '''Mario died only twenty-five times in her session.''' By comparison, Rock (who was otherwise laughing his butt off, as per usual for the man) had Mario die twenty-three times [[RageQuit before he quit close to the checkpoint]].
67* [[{{Determinator}} Ethan James and Darius both beat the first zone]] of ''Sonic Unfair'', whereas the other four had quit before then.
68** Consolation prize for Rumor for reaching the ends of acts 1 and 2 with less deaths than Ethan James.
69* Everhet beating Ethan James and becoming the new ''Smash Bros.'' king.
70* Megan and Shannon were the only team who successfully managed to defuse a bomb in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjM9RpVdbB4 Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes]].
71* In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njzAyjAFCMI Mega Man (NES) (Teens React: Retro Gaming)]]", Jasser managed to reach the boss and even wounding him before succumbing, and he only had one health point left.
72* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afqKDqDwxBw From Happy Wheels 3]], Ethan manages to complete the 3-D Obstacle Course, despite having his arms and kid blown up by the floating mines.
73** Jeannie's is even better. The aforementioned floating mines blow her up, but they launch her intact torso clear across the stage all the way to the finish line...AND IT COUNTS AS A VICTORY!! Also doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.
74* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RowTMIJvos8 Kids with Super Meat Boy.]] A pretty rare case of less messing around and straight-up gameplay, with the kids going through all the same trials that gaming veterans that grew up on Franchise/SuperMarioBros went through. It's like watching the birth of gaming all over again.
75* The elders take a collective spit on public opinion with a ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' session, not only ''not getting a heart attack'' but '''[[SeenItAll freaking out less than the teens did!]]'''
76* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZLFPOynC5s Teens with Mario Kart 8]]: Madison becomes the undisputed ''React'' ''Mario Kart'' champion by beating both ''VideoGame/MarioKart64'' champion Troy AND ''Elders React'' ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'' champion Holgie in the finals.
77* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQRtvktq_Hg Teens playing]] ''VideoGame/DuckHunt''. Ethan manages to outlast everyone, though Seth ends up scoring 1,000 more points than him despite going out one level before him.
78* Tori being the only Reactor to clear [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYMJGN5EkB0 the second level of]] ''VideoGame/IAmBread'', managing to beat out returning Reactors Tom and Daniel...and she even got a "C" ranking (For comparison, both Daniel and Tom got an "E" ranking when they cleared the first level).
79* Daniel asking the Fine Bros if he was able to die in ''Game of the Year: [=420BlazeIt=]'', since he was the only teen to still be on his first life.
80* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT7FzGBVqmQ Teens playing]] [[VideoGame/AladdinVirginGames Aladdin for the Sega Genesis]]: Josh was the only one to clear the first level...and he still had two lives left!
81* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBWimCDEo7o Teens playing]] ''Unfair Mario'': Ethan, Jonathan, and Morgan all manage to clear the first three levels. This is especially a CMOA for Morgan, as she is usually bad at gaming challenges, plus she's inspired to play the actual Mario games.
82* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICknplWpIPc Teens (and two Young Adults) playing]] VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII: Jasser, Seth, Ethan James, and Jennifer (the latter two being Young Adults) all managing to defeat the Heir of Fire boss[[note]](Iudex Gundyr, considered more of a WakeUpCallBoss rather than a WarmUpBoss by the series' standards)[[/note]]... with Jasser doing it on HIS FIRST ATTEMPT!!
83* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u569-09NVg4 Teens Play]] VideoGame/TotallyAccurateBattleSimulator: All of the teens lose their first life on Level 2... except for Mikaela, who doesn't lose a life until Level 6 and finishes advancing to Level 7.
84* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzmQONim-yI College Kids Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tournament]]: Labib FINALLY wins a REACT Gaming Challenge by beating Ethan James and Michelle in the N64 Rainbow Road finals. In fact, he finished just a split-second ahead of Michelle.
85* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC7Onhm3tto&t=240s DOOM (1993 ORIGINAL GAME)]]. The fact that Geneva, one of the girls, knew the level they played inside-out.
86* VideoGame/LifeIsStrange: Seth, Mikaela, and Rae [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVpZgwIeF14 managed to save Kate before she commit suicide]].
87* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8LmYEZAgqY Elders Play]] VideoGame/LANoire: Catherine proves to be an amazing marksman in the firefight.
88--> '''NPC Cop:''' Backup will be here soon.
89--> '''Catherine:''' We haven't got time for damn backup. They might have hostages.
90
91[[AC:Advice]]
92* Teenage Morgan closes an episode of ''Advice'' by offering [[http://youtu.be/5dBr0R8SHgo?t=6m13s this answer]] to the question, "How do I tell my girlfriend how annoying her laugh is?":
93-->"Coming from somebody who ''has'' an annoying laugh, you say ''nothing''. You tell her it's cute, and you laugh with her, and you get over it!"
94
95[[AC:Guess That Challenge]]
96* Any time the winner has a clean sweep.
97
98
99[[AC:Try Not to Smile or Laugh Challenge]]
100* On the 117th episode, Tori finally managed to win for the first time (after a long losing streak).
101* From her debut in the challenge to its finale, Sharon has not lost a single episode she participated in.
102
103[[AC:People vs Food]]
104
105* Jordan is able to beat competitive eating champion Mary Bower in eating a bowl of ice cream the fastest, leaving everyone surprised but impressed..
106* Nicole and Sharon trying to ''break each other'' in their ''Try Not To Eat'' challenges. The (admittedly friendly) rivalry between the two women is ''glorious'' to behold.
107
