Spoilers unmarked.
Season 1
- Really, all the sleepover episodes bring nostalgia to guys who grew up having sleepovers with their pals. Some highlights include:
- When Donald makes fun of Joe for not wanting to play Just Dance 2, Obamna, who wanted to play Zombies as well, takes Joe's side because he wants him to be included.
- Obamna's mom dropping him off and having a level-headed conversation about why she's apprehensive about him hanging with Donald; rather than acting like most of the adults in the series.
Season 2
- The boys tell Donald that they actually appreciate his firey temper and how he defends them from Ben and the Principal.
- Neither is that sympathetic (at least so far in the series), but the Principal and Craig Trump bonding is nice to watch just because the two are normally hurling insults, but here actually enjoying one another's company.
- Joe and Hillary's budding relationship. He gains more confidence in talking to her, and she drops her Jerkass Façade when she's around him. They even dance together.
- George stands up for Kim and Andrew, and in return they vouch for his character when the other boys accuse him of various slights.
- George becoming part of the main group.
- Donald's friends wishing him a happy birthday.
- Andrew already inviting Donald to his birthday next month.
- Craig and Samantha's relationship used to be healthy and loving back when Donald was a baby.
- Samantha worries that she'll not see their son that often due to a job promotion, but Craig reassures her.
- Although their relationship will still remain toxic, it's still nice to see Craig and Samantha to make up with each other.
The Presidents: The Movie
- The break from the main plot, where Donald, Joe, George, Obamna, Kim, and Andrew combine their lunches into disgusting combinations and dare each other to eat it. Just the fact that they're able to act like normal kids and do dumb guy stuff at school for once, rather than dealing with the cool kids' bullying, is heartwarming to watch.
- Despite George having his head repeatedly shoved into a toilet bowl by Ben and Ping (as a way to get him to denounce Donald's campaign), George still remains loyal to his friends and doesn't betray them.
- A villainous example; when Ben beats Ping, rather than being upset, Ping narrates how happy he is to have found a worthy successor as King.
- Principal Bernie actually giving the "losers" a break and hearing them out. True, he does give them detention; but it was for something that actually warrented it, not a made-up slight like Principal Pingas used to hand out.
