Line 171:
** The shiny Chinchou catch in ''Emerald'' [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Pokemon%20Emerald/chapter55.html part 55].
* After having a ton of trouble in his practice runs, UniversalGiant completes The Perfect Run in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkZjeNY7-Nc on his first recorded attempt.]
* In a Let's Play of ''[[Fire Emblem]] 7'', when it came time to challenge Sonia to finish the battle and claim the throne, the author sent Canas, {{spoiler|who is canonically Nino's uncle according to her support with the druid,}} to take her out as a form of poetic justice. First turn in, [https://web.archive.org/web/20101115102404/http://www.gamespite.net/talkingtime/showthread.php?p=250369#post250369 he criticals with Luna, wiping her out in a single blast of dark magic before she can even attack.] Needless to say, I cheered like he never cheered before at the outcome.
* A similar [[Let's Play]] boss kill is in Rondie Plays ''Fire Emblem 8'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlPbZcTY4b4 episode 021-2a]. Joshua, {{spoiler|whose mother was murdered by Callach in the last chapter}}, delivers revenge in the form of the [[One-Hit Kill]] Silencer. And just to rub it in, Rondie adds extra dialogue: "You bastard...you stole my Hoplon Guard, Assassin, with Shamshir, and A Support adding critical?! CURSE YOOOUUUU~"
* [[Sir Ron Lionheart]].
Line 182:
== [[Xombie]] ==
* Dirge is pretty much a walking CMOA. Examples include:
** His first appearance in [http://explodingpickle.org/swfs/xombie-1 Chapter 1]{{Dead link}}, when he enters to Mozart's ''Requiem'', and proceeds to decimate a horde of zombies, armed with only a shovel and his own awesomeness.
** In [http://explodingpickle.org/swfs/xombie-9 Chapter 9]{{Dead link}}, when, after {{spoiler|having a gaping hole punched in his chest by an alien monster}}, he {{spoiler|jumps over a bioscanner, swings down with his chain, grabs Zoe as she falls, and deposits her at the front door to the Acropolis}}, saying "Keep breathing."
** In the comic, when he doesn't even ''try'' to dodge a point-blank headshot from {{spoiler|Mr. Gallows}}, and when {{spoiler|it backfires and destroys Mr. Gallows' hand}}, he says: "What's the matter? Lose something '''''important?'''''"
** Also from the comic, when he uses a mag-lev monorail to {{spoiler|catapult a hearse over a gap in the tracks, thus saving the lives of Zoe and everyone else in the settlement.}} And then apologizes for being late with: "{{spoiler|Sorry we're late. Traffic was killer.}}"
* Zoe gets her fair share, too:
** In [http://explodingpickle.org/swfs/xombie-3 Chapter 3]{{Dead link}}, when she destroys the zombified {{spoiler|circus strongman}} with {{spoiler|a skyride car}}, ''at the age of 6!''
** In [http://explodingpickle.org/swfs/xombie-9 Chapter 9]{{Dead link}}: "Wake up, Wolfgang." {{spoiler|EXPLODING TEDDY BEAR!}}
** From the comic, when she throws Mr. Gallows' words ''right back at him'', just before {{spoiler|shooting him with an anti-zombie gun}}. "Howdy, sweetness."
** Also from the comic: "LEAVE! US! ALONE!"
Line 267:
* ''[[The Saga of Tuck]]'': every now and again there's such a moment, with the characters alternately {{spoiler|pranking their high school with a faked ritual sacrifice, putting up posters reminiscent of Schindler's List, and/or actively destroying their principal}}... but the scene that weighed most heavily on this troper was when the titular character {{spoiler|jumped off a SECOND STORY balcony in a mall (10 feet or so), rolled, then punched an abusive boyfriend of an ex in the gut and ran for it, with ex.}}
* This might sound bizarre, but for [[User:Demetrios|this troper]], [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MoonRaven09&view=videos these] qualify as a CMOA. Why, you may ask? Well sure the eeriness is still present, but if you ask me, the [[Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark]] are more enjoyable when you can see what's going on, and especially when they don't look like Dr. Seuss's worst nightmares. If only the guy who made them would make more, though.
* Don'tBeACoward [http://forum.insomnia.ac/viewtopic.php?t=2663 telling off the insomnia forum admin]{{Dead link}}.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20101115102355/http://www.infinite-story.com/choice/122191/?room=61629 This page] in the Infinitestory.org story Mediocre Moose Maulings.
* Derek Alexander AKA [[The Happy Video Game Nerd]], a would-be AVGN ripoff... who actually ''inverts'' his concept and instead reviews good old games that [[Needs More Love]], and gives credits where it's due. When even James Rolfe gave his own seal of approval by subscribing to Derek's account, you know it's a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in the world of [[Video Review Show]].
* What do you get when you mix [[Back to The Future]] and [[The Terminator]]? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBBw9E2Q_aY This.]
Line 288:
* In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnZeUQJALrY&feature=related episode 1] ''Profound Moments in [[Left 4 Dead 2]]'', it's not the players that get this, it's ''the Charger'', at 4:08 to 4:23, he [[Taking You with Me|hits Djy1991 and manages to get him while falling off the building, killing them both]], he could have gotten Aovnick too, but that part sadly failed.
* As much as I never thought I'd have anything good to say about Uncyclopedia...at least a few of them genuinely want quality work. [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/4.252.99.182 Somebody] made an [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Fisher_Price article] consisting of a single line of vandalism, and [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Fisher_Price:_A_Retrospective this] was the result.
* Shin defeating her Yamiko in [https://web.archive.org/web/20121204110115/http://www.pixelscapes.com/sailornothing/nothing9.html Chapter 9] of [[Sailor Nothing]], and then giving this speech to her [[Complete Monster|uncle]]:
{{quote|"You know, Unc, if you were REALLY a monster, that would've killed you," Shin explained, the Truth dawning on her. "But you're not a real monster. I've seen real monsters. You're just a flawed, wretchedly pathetic human being. You're not worth hating, because in the end, you're nothing. I guess the Truth can be blinding, can't it? Kotashi, let's go. I'm done here."
She left him to his howling rage, and never looked back. There wasn't anything worth looking back on. }}
