* During the Bum Review of ''[[Batman|The Dark Knight]]'', the usually wacky and crazy Chester A. Bum is faced with the one movie that truly touched him, causing him to decide to reflect upon his purpose in life, and to encourage the viewer to do the same. However, the real Crowning Moment of Heartwarming is the very end in which he says the following, replacing his usual catch phrase:

* [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Dr. Insano]], of all people, gets one at the end of the ''Street Fighter 2010'' review when his attempt at creating an [[Eldritch Abomination]] instead results in a tiny, cute pink ball creature. At first he's despondent over this latest failure, but soon his new creation comes over and becomes his one true friend.

** Jew Wario visited his message board on the main site that very day to thank the fans who had wished him a happy birthday. Because the special was being kept tight under wraps, he said only that "[i]t was a good birthday spent with some very good friends." Awww!

* Many contributors from the site teamed up to make a birthday video for Angry Joe. Some were funny, but others were sweet, especially Sean. To make this even better: Joe's birthday was the day after he got back from E3 2010, and it was very clear that while he loved the show itself, ''everything else was hellish.''

* When Film Brain wrote his and Linkara's ''[[The Spirit (Film)|Spirit]]'' review, he decided to give him a complete geek-out by putting the [[Doctor Who (TV)|Sonic Screwdriver]] into the plot and having Linkara recite Eleven's speech from ''The Time of Angels''.

* Jew Wario's second Mario Monologue had it's heartwarming moments, but his third was even more so. You can watch it [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/jewwario/jws/27538-jw-mariomonologues-supermariobros here]. Make sure to watch the entire way through, because there is a dedication after the Blistered Thumbs outro. It doubles as a [[Tear Jerker]] because, {{spoiler|as revealed in a comment a few posts from the top, Jew Wario dedicated it to a friend who had died that week.}}

* The existence of the entire site. Think about it. A bunch of people from all over the world, who probably would never have met without the internet. Many of them are good friends now. If you bash one on the forums, another will defend them. They appear in each other's videos all the time, as cameos if not full crossovers. They're nice to the fans [[Fan Dumb|who deserve it]] and give them opportunities to showcase their own talents in the blogs. The two big crossover events have brought people in from France, New Zealand and England, as well as all over the United States. Channel Awesome is like a gigantic, sort-of-messed-up family, and it all started with a few guys and gals getting together to give their opinions and ''make people laugh.'' (So I guess what I'm saying is thank you, [[YouTube]], for being a dick and taking down the Five-Second Movies.)

* So, [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]] has his 100th episode. After a massively entertaining review of a Sonic comic, {{spoiler|we cut to everybody from [[That Guy With the Glasses]] singing a part of Linkara's theme song. It really showed how much they love having Linkara on the site.}} It was such a little thing, but it actually brought tears to the eyes of this troper.

** This troper recalls hearing [[Lord Kat]] mention the crossover on his livestream when it was in the planning stages. LordKat said Linkara had just invited him to be in the video; when asked if he would do it, he replied, "Hell yeah, I'm doing it! It's [[Precision F-Strike|fucking]] ''Linkara!''" Crude? Yes. But also awesomely touching.

** Moreover, [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Spoony]] admitted on the stream (after the video was released) that he'd received ''numerous'' requests for crossover appearances around that same time and turned them all down, because he was already overworked and behind schedule with his reviews (due to recent health issues). However, he still agreed to appear on Linkara's show, and '''''only''''' Linkara's show. That in itself speaks volumes for the friendship between the two men, as well as the professional respect that Spoony has for Linkara.

* From the [[Fan Community Nickname|Treehouse]]'s POV, the fact that they've not just approved of the fanfic, but seem to really enjoy it as well. For a long while, we thought we would be hated for writing [[Slash Fic]] about internet celebrities, so hearing them reading fics and having a great time is appreciated more than they know.

** In the wake of MAGFest 9, folks from TGWTG and Busy Street (who don't necessarily have the best history) tagteamed in the chat to report on the insanity that went down at the con, verifying each other's stories when people in the chat didn't believe them.

*** One Busy Street patron who met Scarlett in person finally admitted that yes, she actually ''is'' hot. Since then, he has defended her every time one of his fellow [[Fan Nickname|pedestrians]] calls her "fat".

** When [[Lord Kat]] announced that his father had suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, the majority of the site's contributors jumped to offer their condolences and support on Twitter. Of particular note was fellow New Yorker [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|Lindsay]], who reminded him that "we're across the bridge if you need anything."

* Much of what's said about LordKat's livestream also applies to [[You Can Play This|JewWario's]] weekly live chats. It's a rare occasion when fellow members of TGWTG ''don't'' show up in the call (and it ''is'' "member'''s'''", because there's never just one). It's also guaranteed that there will be ''at least'' one heartwarming moment in every chat. They don't call Justin the "Mr. Rogers of TGWTG" for nothing.
