** There may not be any sight gag in the show's entire history better than Eric [[ADateWithRosiePalms jacking off]] ''to climax'' [[RefugeInAudacity right in front of Harry while simultaneously reading]] ''Literature/{{Dianetics}}''.

*** Rocky gives up the freestyle almost immediately when confronted with a man holding a large stick between him and the "FINISH" button.
*** Mike manages to hold his composure, only letting out an "ouch" when he gets hit with a ball and running an impressive juke on the button's bodyguard.
*** Nocando screams in pain every time anything hits him.
*** Go Dreamer immediately loses his microphone and then falls into several mousetraps right after claiming he's "trapping on your ass".

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPt6DeMZTk0 "Who Can Hold the Most Babies"]] is some of ''the'' most potent CringeComedy the show's ever had. Notably, Hannibal doesn't even ''bother'' with the bit, opting to keep to himself rather than disturb the children. Eventually, Eric gives up and completely breaks character, moaning "[[WhoWritesThisCrap I hate this bit,]] [[EveryoneHasStandards I made a kid cry]]", with the whole segment ending on [[CrossesTheLineTwice a "We'll Be Right Back" freeze frame of the child's crying face]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eBGuTwP7dM Eric Andre's interview with Flavor Flav]]. A stagehand grabs Flav's junk, making him understandably upset and threatening to punch Eric in the face. Eric responds by casually tearing apart his desk to reveal a bathtub and getting naked for a soak. Then we get this exchange:

* "Chef" Rory Scovel shows us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnDNZ1WWWmQ how to cook like a pro]], gradually getting more and more depressed as the skit goes on until he begins SuddenlyShouting about the futility of existence and suffers a ''complete emotional breakdown'' on stage. [Of note is Music/TPain (barely intelligibly) singing the National Anthem near the end of Scovel's breakdown, and Andre commenting "can't wait to try that at home" when Scovel [[ChewingTheScenery dumps the entire chef's table onto the floor]] and bursts into tears, collapsing in the midst of a full existential crisis. The skit ends with T-Pain abandoning the Anthem entirely and screaming, firing a gun into the ceiling as Scovel sobs on the floor.

** Nothing can compare to the ending of the first segment of that interview: [[spoiler: A random stagehand falls from the ceiling and lands on Eric's desk, much to Akira's horror. Hannibal then rips his shirt open and screams, freeze frame on "We'll be Right Back".]]

* Similarly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XR4Ml8FijM Eric's interview with Larry King]], which flip flops between Eric giving coherent and reasonable responses and Eric testing Larry's patience. On the other hand, there's Larry being [[CloudCuckoolandersMinder a professional and rolling with Eric's punches]], though at several points, you can see that Larry is starting to tire of Eric's shit.

* The [[https://youtu.be/J7n7l8L3Bx0 Wheel of Prizes]] featuring Creator/{{Sinbad}}. Already at his wits' end by Eric's and Hannibal's antics, Sinbad is treated to a spinning prize wheel with...interesting options such as "Fun Times", "Big Bucks", "Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation", "Move to UsefulNotes/NorthKorea", and "Death". Around and around and around it goes...and around...and around...in fact, it just doesn't stop spinning, going on for so long that even Hannibal and Eric are exhausted[[labelnote:*]]Apparently, the wheel spun for '''''30 minutes straight.'''''[[/labelnote]], only stopping when Sinbad finally stands up and ''physically stops'' the wheel on "Move to North Korea" before sitting down with an expression that all but says, "What the ''fuck'' am I doing with my life?" As one Youtuber put it:
