** His bit below in ''When She Was Bad'' was great. Here, here [[Took a Level In Badass|Xander's balls dropped about a foot, and tripled in size.]]
* His [[What the Hell, Hero?]] to Buffy in "When She Was Bad," ending with "If they hurt Willow, I will kill you."
 
'''Angel'''

Line 202:
 
'''Other'''
* In the slaver demon's pocket dimension in ''Anne''. When Buffy is incapacitated, all the other humans are about to either give up or die, and she's just been [[Kick the Dog|emotionally beaten back into submission]], [[Beware the Nice Ones|Lily]] [[The Dog Bites Back|kills the slaver demon]] [[Underestimating Badassery|by shoving him off the ledge from behind]] [[Shut UP, Hannibal|in the middle of his monologue]].
* Jonathan staying to fight the zombies in "Dead Man's Party". That took a lot of cojones from someone like him.
* The Season 3 finale, where the entire graduating class pulls out weapons and does a human wave attack on the Big Bad.
Line 247:
 
'''Riley'''
* Riley [[Shut UP, Hannibal|arresting Ethan Rayne]] in the middle of his [[Hannibal Lecture]].
* Punching Parker in the face when the latter starts making unpleasant remarks about Buffy.
* It takes a special kind of soldier to rip out a programming chip embedded in his own chest, and Riley shows off his steel-plated testicles by ''using broken glass to do it.''
Line 262:
== Season Five ==
'''Buffy'''
* The episode "Checkpoint," where after a full episode of being made to feel inferior by the [[Zen Survivor]] Watcher's Council, the ditziest [[Big Bad]] ever to appear on the show, and a crazy [[Knights Templar]] army of [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|Well-Intentioned Extremists]], Buffy gives a perfectly calm, almost deadpan set of demands to the council's lead [[Deadpan Snarker]], punctuated by a thrown broadsword. This troper's roommates' ears are still ringing from his cheering. The scene in all its awesomeness:
{{quote| '''Quentin Travers:''' "We can begin the review at last. We'll skip the more obvious questions-" <br />
'''Buffy:''' [''places sword over his notes''] "There isn't gonna be a review." <br />
Line 296:
{{quote| '''Willow''': [[Flechette Storm|Bag of knives]].}}
** The moment is especially awesome as it's the first time anybody has hurt Glory, at all. If Willow hadn't burned through her power so quickly, who knows what she could have done?
** Buffy's pretty good at punching out vampires, demons and the [[Big Bad]]. Willow [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|punches out]] ''gods.''
** A great Dark Willow moment: "Jonathan. Andrew. You boys like magic, don't you? [[Shock and Awe|ABDA KADABRA]]."
* Another great Willow moment was in the previous episode, "The Weight of the World". With Dawn kidnapped by Glory, Buffy catatonic, and Tara having lost her mind, Willow's finally had enough when Xander and Spike start fighting. After forcing them apart with magic, she takes charge, berating them. The entire time her voice is nearly deadpan, but containing a fury that leaves even Anya and Spike afraid to piss her off.
Line 362:
* The Scoobies facing down Tara's family in "Family".
** Except for Spike, who makes a point, as everyone else is doing their "You'll hafta go through ME first" routine, of saying "You won't hafta go through me, I don't really care". (And then Xander emphasizes: "You'll have to go through all of us... [[My Friends and Zoidberg|except Spike]].")
*** Though Spike ''did'' do his bit when he strikes Tara, proving that she's entirely human due to him feeling pain via the chip in his brain (not a pleasant thing). He didn't ''have'' to do it, the family was already on the debate's losing end... One can't help but feel that despite still being (mostly) evil, his not caring was [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|coming to be a state of denial by this point]] (well, that or simple spite for [[Big Screwed -Up Family|the sort]] [[Straw Misogynist|of people]] the McClays seem to be. Either way, it's a pretty cool moment.)
** Should be noted this is taking place at the end of an episode in which Tara is painfully aware that she doesn't quite 'fit in' with the group.
{{quote| '''Tara's Father''': We are her blood kin! Who the hell are you?<br />
Line 419:
* Buffy killing Caleb with the scythe.
{{quote| '''Caleb:''' You can't do it. You haven't got the ba-[[Groin Attack|THWACK]]<br />
'''Buffy:''' [[Pre -Mortem One -Liner|Who does nowadays]]? }}
* Buffy's little look from side to side after she cuts Caleb in half from the groin up.
{{quote| '''Angel:''' Now I'm pissed. Where is he?"<br />
Line 477:
* Amy's gloating that [[Nothing Can Stop Us Now|nothing can stop her]]. Enter [[Big Damn Heroes|Willow]].
{{quote| [[Ironic Echo|"I'd like to test that theory."]]}}
** Giant Dawn stepping on Amy, with a [[Precision F -Strike]] [[Bond One -Liner]].
* Faith killing two gargoyles, despite completely wrecking her hands.
* Giles stabbing Roden with pruning shears, then killing him by opening a holding spell inside his body.
