Looking at both of the above videos it seems both plays are similar enough that they both either should have been flagged, or neither should have been flagged, but that decision is totally limited to the covering official. Without knowing a whole lot more about this game, and how it had been played up to each of those calls an extra opinion is worthless.
There is no way of knowing whether there had been previous problems with silly displays, and teams, or specific players, may have been warned about such actions. The bar moves a lot lower when someone has been previously cautioned, and decides to test the warter anyway.
