* The very first entry of ''[[Ask a Ninja]]'' was much slower in pace, versus the later episodes which rely heavily on frenetic editing and rapid-fire comedy. The suit is also just two black shirts, one of them over his head (jeans can briefly be seen in some shots), and he is standing up and rarely moves his arms.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'' sounds very unpolished in its early installments.
** The audio in early YGO:TAS episodes is ''very'' bad compared to later episodes; presumably, [[Little Kuriboh]] was recording the series with cheap microphones, and got more professional equipment once he found the niche.
** Episode 48 lampshades an incident in episode 6 in which [[Little Kuriboh]] inadvertently slipped into a British accent (being British himself) while voicing Yugi.

** Perhaps fittingly, the first few episodes of [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] had her pretty much be a slightly calmer [[Distaff Counterpart|version]] of [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]]. She even did the muggy reaction shots and the "Wha-wha-WHA!" [[Running Gag]] he has. Later she developed her own style, where she would analyze and spoof themes and broad plotlines instead of following the story in a linear fashion.
* Early episodes of ''[[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Atop the Fourth Wall]]'' have many differences, including Linkara speaking much more quietly and the lighting being worse. The first review, of ''Spider-Man #56'', even has shots of the comic pages from Linkara's POV along with scans from the pages (something he calls himself out on the commentary). Also, the "magic gun" was originally a suicide pistol.
* The pilot of ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'' from way back in 1999. The character designs were radically different; Lumpy was a dinosaur with a [[Hair -Trigger Temper]] instead of a stupid moose; and the episode was less than a minute long.
* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]] felt a lot different in the first couple of episodes; he didn't even show his face in the ''[[Castlevania II]]'' video, and didn't really go in-depth with the games as much as his later ones. Later reviews would even have him point out the positive aspects in some games.
** [[James Rolfe]] explained that this was largely because these were old reviews he had made just to share with his friends. He actually uploaded them on YouTube years after he had filmed them, and only continued the series based on the positive reaction.
