Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
* In ''[[Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension]]'', this happens a few times. The first is Candace-2 saving Phineas, Ferb, Perry, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, and Candace from a lava pit after they were being sent to their doom. She [[It Makes Sense in Context|rides a giant lawn gnome]], smashing into the [[Mecha-Mooks]] and throwing the Other Dimensioninator remote to Phineas, which he catches.
** She then gets apprehended by Doof-2, and is sent to jail. But, Jeremy-2, Phineas-2 and Ferb-2 bust her out.
Line 26 ⟶ 28:
{{quote|'''Morgan''': Bender's brain lost in the master in pile, and it would take some sort of giant, mechanical, atomic-powered sorting machine to find him.
'''Hermes''': You rang? }}
* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', when Bart is being mauled by a wolf (on school grounds, why not) when in steps Groundskeeper Willie, shirtless and ready to kick ass.
{{quote|'''Groundskeeper Willie:''' Hey! Wolfie! [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|Put down that ''hors d'œuvre''! It's time for the main course!]]}}
* In the season 3 premiere of ''[[Metalocalypse]]'', a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] was trying to force Dethklok to sign a new contract advantageous to him. Nathan was just about to put his signature on it {{spoiler|when Charles Ofdensen, their [[Faking the Dead|thought dead manager]], shows up in the doorway to stop them.}}
Line 33 ⟶ 35:
* In an episode of ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'' Bullwinkle refuses to put out the fuse of a bomb until the last moment because "Heroes always arrive in the TA-DA! nick of time."
* Bunnies get to be [[Big Damn Heroes]] in ''[[Watership Down]]'', when Hazel and his runners lure a Big Damn Dog to the warren, just in time to save Bigwig's life by decimating Woundwort's troops.
* Invoked in ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]]''. Batman is falling without a parachute after ejecting from the [[Thememobile|Batplane]], and is saved by [[Superman]] at the last moment.
{{quote|'''Batman''': (Completely Deadpan) Batman to all points. I could use some air support. Since I can't fly. At all...Now would be good.}}
* This happens a lot in ''[[Jonny Quest]]''. One example would be in ''Manhattan Maneater'', when an amoral hunter is about to shoot a white tiger. Just before he pulls the trigger, a [[Scary Black Man|gangster]] steps in the way and refuses to back down. And another happens not a minute later, when the tiger leaps to attack - only to be shot by a tranquilizer, thanks to Race and Dr. Quest who just made it to the scene.
Line 52 ⟶ 54:
* ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' is the epitome of this. They're five teenagers fighting against an evil AI who wants to rule the world and can virtual monsters into the real world.
** A special shout out goes to {{spoiler|Franz Hopper, who sacrifices himself to power a program to shut down XANA.}}
* In the season one [[Season Finale]] of ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'', the ''Cerritos'' crew is clearly in their [[Darkest Hour]]; while Bolier has managed to destroy the Pakled vessel, Shaxs sacrificing himself so that Bolier doesn't go ''with'' it, it seems it all was for nothing because ''three'' more Pakled ships have shown up. Mainer - who is temporarily in command because ''every'' other officer is hurt or unconscious - is about to give the order to abandon ship, when out of the blue, they are hailed by another ship. It's none other than the ''U.S.S. Titan'', Riker's ship. After Riker cajoles Mariner for "starting the party" without him, the theme music from ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' starts to play and the far superior flagship easily dispatches the Pakled vessels, causing the villains to panic and retreat. One of the [[Crowning Moment of Awesome| most awesome scenes in the series]].
