Trivia[]
- The thumbnails for "Take the Plunge: Part 1", "Barriers and Pitfalls", and "Four Goes Too Far" very much resemble the original YouTube auto-generated thumbnails that these episodes had.
- Pin's only season one appearances are in the first and last episodes.
- Despite competing in BFDI, Teardrop, Needle, and Woody have no season one appearances.
- Coincidentally, all three held the last four spots overall in the first season.
- They would all, however, appear in a Battle for Dream Island Again thumbnail.
- Donut, Dora, and Puffball however, have no season two appearances.
- "Welcome Back" is the first episode that didn’t start out with an auto-generated thumbnail.
- Robot Flower is the first mechanical mind to show in a thumbnail.
- Bubble is the only final 14 contestant who doesn’t appear in a single BFB thumbnail.
- Pencil is currently leading with 12 appearances.
- Leafy and Firey are tied for second at 10.
- Book, Flower and Ice Cube are tied for third at 9.
- Bowling Pin is the first recommended character to appear in a thumbnail ("Bowling, Now With Explosions!").
- "Enter the Exit" is the first episode in which no contestant appears in the thumbnail.

- "Four Goes Too Far" has the second most contestants in any thumbnail, with 22.

- Every BFDIA thumbnail after "No More Snow!" had at least one current or former FreeSmart member in the thumbnail until "Insectophobe's Nightmare 4" released and it didn't have any FreeSmart members in it.
- The first episode of BFDI and BFB have the winners of each season in their thumbnails.
- Firey in the thumbnail of "Take The Plunge: Part 2"
