Another spin-off titled Dr. Pimple Popper: This Is Zit features 5-10 minute long episodes, each focusing on one specific type of procedure. | |

Artifact Title | |
| Dr. Pimple Popper / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: The original web series, also titled Dr. Pimple Popper, has a few clips of Dr. Lee removing those pesky little pimples that make up traditional acne. While the TLC show expands the scope to a larger array of dermatological conditions and their treatments, pimples are never featured nor popped. | |

Gross-Out Show: The majority of the show involves Dr. Lee either draining and removing the oozing, smelly contents of some kind of cyst or wrestling with the removal of a solid fatty mass called a lipoma. | |

Pop-Up Trivia | |
| Dr. Pimple Popper / int_4ae82f6a | comment |
Pop-Up Trivia: Some recuts of old episodes include these. Initially most pop-ups featured medically-relevant supplemental information about patients' conditions, although later on they became heavier on the "trivia" aspect of this trope. | |

| Dr. Pimple Popper / int_6cc17332 | comment |
Appearance Angst: While Dr. Pimple Popper's original Web Video series generally doesn't disclose the identities or backstories of her patients (largely because of privacy concerns), her TLC series goes into the emotional distress her patients' skin conditions cause them and how much they affect their lives. | |

Christmas Episode | |
| Dr. Pimple Popper / int_6ef9d3fe | comment |
Christmas Episode: With the office decked out in holiday decor, the Christmas specials offer the usual pimple popping action but with a large helping of holiday spirit and a holiday party to finish off the day. In "The 12 Pops of Christmas" (S1 E101), Dr. Lee and her crew tackle 12 pops in a single day. The episode ends with everyone decoerating a tree full of ornaments that resemble various dermatological conditions. In "Season's Squeezings" (S5 E101), Dr. Lee and the team build a snowman with sparkly, decorative cysts and sing Christmas carols between appointments. The episode ends with a surprise visit from Santa, who was her final patient for the day. In "A Pimple Carol" (S6 E101), a stressed out Dr. Lee is visited by the "spirits" of Christmas past (her dad Dr. Soon Lee), present (medical assistants Kristi and Val), and future (Dr. Song, her [i.e. Dr. Song's] husband, and her newborn twins) who remind her what Christmas is all about. | |

Don't Look At Me | |
| Dr. Pimple Popper / int_b5043180 | comment |
Don't Look At Me: If possible, most patients try to hide their unflattering skin condition under a hat, their hair, or a long piece of clothing. The ones that can't sometimes become reclusive inside their homes in fear of being seen or mocked. | |

Spin-Off | |
| Dr. Pimple Popper / int_d9ee7048 | comment |
Spin-Off: The TLC series is an inversion of the Online Spin-Off, and is possibly the Ur-Example of a web video property that moved to linear TV. It's an expansion of the YouTube channel of Southern California dermatologist Sandra Lee, who became a major Internet celebrity as "Dr. Pimple Popper". Two spin-offs spawned from the show are Dr. Pimple Popper: Before the Pop, which focuses only on virtual appointments without any procedures or treatments, and Dr. Pimple Popper: This Is Zit, a series of short minisodes that can be found online. | |
