'''Jane:''' "We're fighting about ''you,'' Daria Morgnedorffer!" }}
* Jodie gets one in ''Gifted'' when she tells off one of the stuck-up kids at Grove Hills after he is rude to her. Daria even notices that Jodie definitely enjoyed doing it.
* Daria's moment in "Quinn The Brain". For context, Quinn got a B for a poem she wrote in English Class. Initially it was implied she was gonna get bullied for being a brain, but instead it makes her more popular among the school and in turn makes being a brain a popular thing. Which in turn let's the fame go to her head. Showing no signs of stopping, because of the added bonus of pissing Daria off. Daria naturally takes offense to it, believing that Quinn making a brain look popular would set a bad example for true brains like her, by turning it into a fad. Causing students and teachers to gush over her even when she's not putting in her latest works. Looking for a way out of it, she receives a miracle in the form of the Three J's asking her for help. They mention that because Quinn is super popular for being a cute brain, she barely has time for them fighting over her anymore and [[We Want Our Jerk Back|they want that back.]] So the four devise a plan. A plan Daria [[Godzilla Threshold|regrets having to resort to.]] Using a photo of Quinn's original look as reference, Daria strips her original outfit and don's clothing similar to Quinn. She wears make up, styles her hair and rehearses flirty lines. Then on cue the Three J's show up loudly announcing that they've come to pick up Daria, just as Daria intentionally walks past Quinn showing off her look. She stops in the hallway and counts to three, timing the exact moment Quinn panics and rushes downstairs to greet the boys. Conceding Defeat. She later downplays the B she got and intentionally dumbs herself down. It's an awesome moment for Daria for two reasons. 1. She knows her sister's insecurities well enough that all it takes is for Daria to steal her thunder, by threatening to steal the Three J's from her. and 2. After so many episodes of so many people referring to Daria as the ugly girl in various ways, she proves the audience wrong. By showing that she can be [[Beautiful All Along|beautiful if she wants to be]], but chooses not to.
