While everything they do often is hilarious beyond words, not every single moment can be pointed out. But here are a few of their highlights.

General

    Group Game Streams 
  • E-Sekai's first group Minecraft stream quickly devolves into Rin vs. Juna, with the other girls largely siding with Juna.
    • The start sets the tone almost immediately:
      Juna: My name is Juna Unagi, and I love my genmates!
      Rin: Cool. immediately tries punching Juna off the tree they're all standing on
    • After Juna gets reduced to half a heart, she accidentally punches Rin, who mercilessly kills her. The tables turn later when Rin is reduced to half a heart and has to beg Juna for food. The other girls note that "Mum and Dad are fighting".
      Juna: Why are you such a tsundere Rin?
      Rin: I'm just a dick.
      Juna: I can and will turn this against you, I can do that.
      Rin: I'm just a total dick, it's my personality.
    • When giving out the beds, she consigns Rin to a corner of the house away from them. Rin immediately seals herself in with sand...and Juna promptly replaces it with cobblestone and a window that Rin fills in with glass. After she realizes her genmates are messing with the signs, Rin tries to break out, so Yuko floods her section, leading to Juna and Yuko demining Rin as she tries to escape, Juna laughing the entire time.
      • Eventually Rin gets killed, and spawns back in the room without tools, having set her respawn point.
        Juna: You wanna come back out?
        Rin: No talky. I angy.
      • Rin breaks out through the wall...and immediately falls to her death with a cacophony of screaming. She takes so long to recover and respawn that Juna has enough time to block her exit with cobblestone. Fuyo finds the situation so pitiful she feeds Rin through the window, and Juna has to stop herself pointing out that Rin could escape by destroying her bed.
        Yuko: Aw, such bonding, am I right?
        Pochi: Yeah, it's uh...yeah. No comment.
        Rin: Get good scrubs!
      • At the end of the stream, Rin dies and respawns, realising the solution was to destroy her bed. Even though Juna has left, Rin leaves a message in the in-game text chat.
        Rin: I LIVED BITCH
  • Though technically not an official group stream, Rin gatecrashed one of Kai's Minecraft streams while Kai was complaining about having to wait for Tomodachi Life by declaring "DON'T GET ME STARTED" in the in-game text chat and sending Kai into gales of laughter as she hadn't realised Rin was watching, let alone in the server. Rin proceeded to join and leave the game just to talk to Kai each time she wanted to say something, setting poor Kai off each time. Kai even baits Rin to enter again by mentioning Splatoon, prompting an instant comment from Rin. Eventually Rin starts bringing her avatar to Kai's game when she's AFK and jumpscaring her several times.
    • Rin also scams Kai out of gold boots when asking to join her in the Nether, conveniently not informing Kai of her gold chestplate until after Kai has given her the boots and when told by Kai she'll need the gold to not be attacked, asks if this is what classism feels like. All the while continuing to only use the in-game chat.
  • Kai, Fuyo and Poko's Helldivers 2 collab is going swimmingly until Kai points this out. Almost immediately, poor Fuyo's game crashes, though she's fortunately able to reboot it and rejoin the other girls quickly.
    • At the end of the stream the girls suggest doing a chest bump. They quickly note that while doing so with Kai would provide padding, Fuyo and Poko would probably bump heads.

    Non-Game Group Streams 
  • Juna acts as a teacher of E-Sekai Academy, with Pochi, Rin, Yuko, and Fuyo as her students; it very quickly devolved into a trainwreck. Throughout the collaboration, Pochi was eating snacks but was otherwise very well-behaved, Rin looked like she wanted out, and Yuko and Fuyo were the class clowns.
  • Nikki and Katta's first collab following their rebrand as Genesis...with the premise being that Katta has kidnapped Nikki. The end of the stream devolves into complete chaos, starting with Nikki's declaration that she has taken Katta's "kidnapping virginity" and culminating with her using a voice changer to drive Katta crazy rather than finish on time.
  • Kai, Coni, Poko and Fuyo's reaction to Ruby's Wardrobe Malfunction. Poko and Kai both want to rewind it, and after Fuyo confirms Ruby was thankfully wearing underwear, Coni comments "Imagine if she wasn't wearing underwear"...and the entire room goes completely quiet before Coni asks why it did so.
  • When EternalS had their first collab after their debuts, their layering initially hid Koa completely from view due to being so short.
    • Lala posts art of the group in T-shirts with Aviel's face drawn on them. Ruby doesn't seem to like what she's wearing, Koa is shooting her a disgusted glance, Lala is grinning like a maniac, Taiga is trying to keep her composure as she checks her phone, and Meica seems oddly giddy.

    idol Alert 
  • Fuyo sends doodles to Kai as a general indication of how she's feeling each week that end up on idol Alert. They're usually hilariously exaggerated and adorable.
  • idol Alert ES Special (Kai and Juna):
    • Kai and Juna cover the debut trailer for the idol ES girls, in both English and attempted Spanish. Their Spanish isn't horrendous, but they do have trouble with the slang and have to solicit the chat for aid.
    • When playing "One Truth, Two Lies" about the ES girls, one of Ruby's options is "she once ate out of the garbage". Juna promptly casually reveals she's done that once, rendering Kai speechless and putting the poll on hold until Juna explains herself.
  • idol Alert 04/29/24 - 05/05/24 (Kai, Poko and Rin):
    • When discussing emotes for the main idol YouTube channel, Poko mentions that she asked Aviel for permission to draw his face as an emote, which he agreed to. She then asked him to send selfies of him doing the pogchamp face and reportedly got the response "wtf no".
    • The girls' Twitch accounts come up in discussion after Kai highlights who is streaming on which platforms. Apparently Coni's had to include an underscore in the name due to it being taken by sheer luck.
    • When announcing idol's appearance at VTuber Expo in Birmingham, Poko butchers the pronunciation of "Birmingham" so badly that Kai comments she sounds more American than she does. Rin also comments that she'll be able to fight people in the Tesco's parking lot for real now that they're in her territory.
    • Rin unbiasedly claims that Lalabell is based due to liking Pikmin.
    • The girls prepare a presentation for their new kouhais in idol ES, including the claim that if they need anything major, Rin is the CEO and has the power to do anything. Aviel promptly declares "Shut it down" from the chat, sending Kai into gales of laughter. Kai claims this is why Aviel shouldn't have given them access to the main channel and Rin claims his days are numbered.
    • Their advice for chat rules is to give their senpais the power to ban anyone. Including the managers (who the presentation claims love when you do that).
    • Kai also adds a slide dedicated to ordering them to answer an alert from her immediately. This wouldn't have been as funny on its own, had Kai not put a picture of herself frowning on the slide.
  • idol Alert 05/06/24 - 05/12/24 (Kai and Katta)
    • When Kai asks Katta what Genesis will be doing that week, she immediately opens with "not sex".
    • Kai tries to read Rin's schedule after giving Katta a Spanish phrase to say, but without telling Katta how well she did. Kai ended up having to yell over Katta's siren noises.

idol Genesis/Origin

    Kattarina Qutie 
  • After an Among Us stream with her chat didn't go quite as Katta had wanted due to misunderstandings of evidence, she proceeded to vent her frustration to her chat for quite a while...and then after having wondered the day before why girls sometimes pretended to moan, proceeded to do so herself for quite a while before the end of the stream. Even more entertainingly, Katta immediately proceeded to go to a members-only stream of Fifty Shades of Grey.

    Nikki Rei 
  • The mere fact that Nikki's fan group (in her first design) were named the "Bonkers".
  • As Lily was graduating from Idol, Nikki and Katta made a pact. Cue amused concerns in the replies from the Bonkers and even Nikki herself, followed by her deciding to just never graduate after realising what she's gotten herself into.

E-Sekai

    Yuko Yurei 
  • Yuko's description of her age and height during her debut. Her age is "I forgor" and she initially and succinctly describes her height based on that of Heebie Jeebie in "Yuko language".
    Yuko: You see this little motherfucker right here, you see this little white thing with the little squiggly tail, you see that little, that little guy right there [...] my height is about approximately eight of these little things.note 
  • While playing Minecraft, Yuko breaks into Juna's home. At one point, when Juna attacks her, Yuko accidentally calls her a whale. Yeeeeeah, needless to say, that doesn't go over well for her...
  • Yuko decided to play Rainbow Six Siege after a three-month break while drinking. While she des better than one would expect, hilarity inevitably ensues.
    • Upon her first death, she erupts into a cacophony of swear words.
      Yuko: Shit! Fuck me in the ass - I'm not toxic. I'm not toxic. I'm not toxic.
    • At one point, Yuko insists to a police car and van on the edge of a map that she's so sober. She continues to insist this statement as the shot counter increases.
      superchat: We've lost her Boo Bros.

    Juna Unagi 
  • One of Juna's streams is that she has to last one hour without cursing lest she be punished. Her first punishment says "Eel noises for 2 minutes"... and she proceeds to make eel noises for two minutes straight, while chat watches in amusement and comments that Juna sounds like she is being strangled. At one point, she sneaks in a "motherfucker" before she continues making her eel noises.
    Juna: [gagging and gasping sounds] Glub glub glub glub, motherfucker. [quickly continues making eel noises]
    • Funnily enough, the chat member who provided this punishment commented that he meant for Juna to make eel noises whenever she laughs or reacts to something, not for two minutes straight. When Juna finishes, she immediately curses again.
      Juna: Okay, it's been two fucking minutes, Jesus fucking Christ. [pants to catch her breath]
  • Juna crushed a watermelon with her thighs on one stream (or rather, she cracked it, ripped it open, then stomped on the pieces). When her mother was on stream with her, her chat hinted at the "watermelon stream", sending Juna into a panic trying to keep it under wraps until one of her members busted her in a superchat. Her mother's amused and teasing reaction as Juna alternates between coming clean and denying everything is the icing on the cake.

    Rin Penrose 
  • After her PC exploded the day she was set to do a morning stream, she attempted to compensate by doing an impromptu Twitter Space alongside her brother, who happened to be home at the time. There, she relentlessly bullied her brother for over an hour, who couldn't defend himself verbally out of fear of doxing. Instead, he attempted both charades and Morse code, to Rin's utter confusion. Then she proceeded to freak out when she realized it happened to be Juna's birthday, and she couldn't do anything for her due to lacking her PC. This chaos continued for over 2 hours until her father confirmed it couldn't be fixed.
  • For her 2023 New Year's stream, Rin decided to do a PowerPoint for "New Year's Rin Solutions". Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, her chat decided it would be far more entertaining to send her constant small superchats instead, very quickly reducing Rin to disbelieving Angrish over both being constantly interrupted and how much money she wound up getting by the end of the stream. She even tried to see if she could get management to disable them.
  • Rin's One Hand Clapping stream, and the noises she made during it as part of its vocal platforming. A compilation of them made it onto idol Alert, winning her second place in "weirdest noises".
  • Rin did an entire stream about which VTubers she believed she could take on in a fight. The first three being Kizuna AI, Tokino Sora, and Ironmouse. Rin quickly concludes she's not going to be having a good time and largely has to resort to theorized matches with the other Idol VTubers to start picking up wins (and even then, only beats around half of them).
    • One of her coworkers Rin believed she'd beat was Poko. After hearing about Poko's donathon running over 90 hours, Rin re-evaluates that decision.
    • After admitting defeat to Hatsune Miku, Rin declares that she will be replacing her with a "less dangerous" blue haired singer. The next VTuber on the list was Hoshimachi Suisei, hololive's resident psychopath. Cue a long Sound-Effect Bleep by Rin and chat ridiculing her for calling Suisei as a "less dangerous" opponent.
  • During a collab while playing Lethal Company, Rin and Jessie Llum have stayed behind in the ship, and Jessie has the remote to the lights. Rin tries to play herself as having more power due to holding a clipboard, only for Jessie to turn the lights off and prevent her from reading it.
    Rin: You've been given too much power, you cannot allowed to be alive.
    Jessie: I'm gonna keep this with me, I'm not gonna sell it, don't tell anyone.
    Rin: Well, you know what, you may have that, but I've got one of these! produces clipboard So so who's so which of us is doing better in life, huh?
    Jessie: I think because turns the lights out Can you read now?
    Rin: SHIT! I can't read it now!
    Jesse bursts out laughing and turns the lights back on
    Rin: That's messed up, that's
    Jesse turns the lights out, then turns them on again
    Rin: You've got a lot of nerve- (on and off again) comin' in here (Rin realises the lights have been turned off again) You know what, I'm not having this talk with you anymore.
  • Rinoka Bellarose, Rin's April Fools prank for 2024, including a detailed (but not rigged) PNG model. Highlights include her stated desire to get 10 billion subscribers, despite this number, as she points out, being higher than the population of the entire planet at the time.
    • Rinako showed up again for Pros and Cons the following month, though there was initial trouble with the voice.

    Pochi Wanmaru 
  • During her first debut, Pochi proudly states her height of 5'0", explaining that she isn't the shortest because "all of idol is fricken' tiny".

    Fuyo Cloverfield 
  • The absolutely gremlin laugh Fuyo makes when she learns (with some help from Riro) that Coni is shorter than her.
  • Fuyo's introduction of her 1-year anniversary chibi outfit (a dinosaur onesie) has her portraying it as a monster attacking a city. Highlights include her denying that it's cute and the whereabouts of her genmates, namely that Juna is nowhere to be found and likely passed away due to overworking herself for the event (as she made all five of her and her genmates' outfits), and that Rin was blending in with a pile of blahaj.

Star

    Riro Ron 

Endless

    Roca Rourin 

    Poko Rakun 
  • Poko's rap during her debut gets interrupted by the police, resulting in a cacophonic cry of "SCATTER!" from her.

    Kai Saikota 
  • Kai makes a story where she's at a bar waiting to see Miguel O'Hara from Spider Man Across The Spiderverse. Unfortunately, due to allowing chat participation, it completely goes off-rails from Miguel's ass drawing the gravitational force of the Milky Way, which causes Pluto going out of orbit and heading towards Earth, and Miguel having to save the world, to a Mad Scientist creating a sentient ice cream hitting on women in the bar, to making Kai's own hair becoming sentient, Miguel briefly falling in love with bald Kai only to fall for the sentient hair instead.
  • Kai's April Fools stream saw her using Roca's model, while insisting that nothing was different. All the while her co-workers roasted her in the chat, including Roca herself, who wondered why "Roca" had Kai's name under her chat.
  • Kai's notoriously temperamental internet picks the perfect time to crash during her Nuzlocke of Pokémon Sword and Shield, as she's stressing over attacking with Galpals the Falinks before Rose can Gigantamax his Copperajah, leaving the battle on an honest-to-goodness Cliffhanger. Even Kai herself couldn't believe the timing and she had to resort to a Twitter space to continue.

    Momo Otako 
  • During one of Momo's return streams in April 2024, it was gatecrashed by Kai, and then by Juna, and then by Nikki (Poko also joined, mainly to participate in the chaos), leading to an argument between the "couples" of the agency (though mostly between Kai and Juna). Nikki wound up ending the argument with her voice changer, using a masculine voice that promptly drove most of the girls out and which reportedly sounded very similar to the idol CEO Aviel Basin - something Nikki genuinely had no idea was the case.

    Coni Confetti 

EternalS

    Akugaki Koa 

    Ruby Runeheart 
  • During her debut, Ruby tries to demonstrate opening a padlock. Emphasis on tries, as a hairclip, a hammer, a blowtorch, several thrown plates, and even keys don't work, with much bleeped out swearing occurring during the clip. Eventually she superimposes a stock image of an opened padlock over it. This prompts Poko, watching the debut on the main idol channel, to comment that she isn't bringing Ruby along on her heists.
  • Ruby also photoshopped Aviel's face onto dancers during her cover of LMFAO's "Party Rock".
  • At the end of her debut, Ruby shows something censored on her stream...and promptly gets a call from Aviel. As she denies showing stuff she was expressly told she couldn't, the screen cuts to a short termination notice, with Ruby drawn slumped face-down on the ground.

    Lalabell Lullaby 

    Taiga Toragami 

    Meica 05 
  • As Meica was an established streamer before joining idol, her debut contained an absolute barrage of unhinged clips to introduce her to new fans edited in a fashion not dissimilar from Max0r.
  • Meica's debut has her getting dragged away and jailed by Aviel, and shows her behind bars while images of his face scroll up the side of the screen.
