* [[Atop the Fourth Wall]] was pretty much just like any other review show for its first several months, though a very good one. And then Mechakara appeared, helping the show stand out from the pack with its genuinely suspenseful and compelling storylines, as well as some of the best production values seen in such a series. And all without losing focus on the reviews themselves.
** Though there is a growing number of people who wish that Linkara would dial down the number of [[Myth Arc|Myth Arcs]] he's been putting in his reviews...
** His review of [[Superman: At EarthsEarth's End]] can be considered a Beard moment as well, ditching the early "Now we've got it" intro and having memorable skits that would become recurring gags, such as "I AM A MAN", "Because Poor Literacy Is Kewl" and "Of course! Don't you know anything about science?". To say nothing of the ending, which would give the show its tagline of "Where bad comics burn".
* [[Tree Fog]] started out with simple song covers, but it really took off when it developed a plot with {{spoiler|the band splitting up.}} This coincided with the shaving of Alex's beard, strangely enough.
* [[The Spoony Experiment]]'s beard-growing moment is (according to both by fans and [[Word of God|Noah Antwiller]] himself) the review of the ''[[The Thing (video game)|The Thing]]'' computer game, which marked the point where reviews were scripted instead of improvised and where Noah developed the sarcastic and snarky personality that would become a hallmark of the Spoony character.
