Genie in a Beanie - Maude and Kyle make viewers' sent-in wishes come true (e.g. "make my bed in the morning" or "replace my school teacher").

Dare-Off - Viewers send in dares and decide who should do the dare (Kyle or Maude). This segment is based on the most popular segment from the previous seasons (pre-2007), ''Sarvo Suggestion Sack''. Examples of this included going into the Queen Victoria Building dressed up as angry grandmothers.

Sarvo Show-Offs - Throughout the years, various ''Sarvo Show-offs'' were conducted. The first one involved viewers making their own version of the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' theme song.
