  • Creator Worship: One of the largest sources of Snark Bait.
  • HSQ: On episodes where she gives a ridiculous amount of stuff away, like her "Favorite Things" episodes and the episode where everybody in the audience got a free trip to Australia. The last few episodes of that nature had paramedics on standby.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "YOU GET A CAR! AND YOU GET A CAR! AND YOU GET A CAR!"
    • "It's ♪JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHN TRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOLTA~!♪" (the captions add the notes to show she's using a sing-song voice)
    • "YOU ARE GOING TO AUUUUUUUUUSTRAAALIA", more common among Australian audiences.
  • Snark Bait: She is often parodied in comedic works. Staple gags involve her up-and-down weight and almost cultlike status among American housewives.
  • Tear Jerker
