* ''[[TV Tome Adventures]]''. Season 2 finale. Yes.

=== "Dad's Home!" ===
* The titular Dad of ''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/195918 Dad's Home]'' is so badass he deserves his own category. Among the many things he does:
** Puts out a fire that spontaneously ignited on the top of his head using the family cat.
** Jams a television set through the door of a fridge.
** Lassos a keg of beer from a moving truck and punches through the top, then kicks the keg clear across the street into someone else's house
** Pulls a broadsword out of his mouth, then smushes a fly with the flat side and throws it so it impales the neighbour's mailbox
** Snaps his fingers to disappear in an explosion and teleport to the front door with his head again on fire (before again using the cat to put it out
** Shoots [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] out of his eyes
** Pulls the old "whisk a sheet from under a table of plates and glasses without knocking them over" trick while balanced on one leg, then kicks the table over
** When the police finally arrive, he calls down a bolt of lightning to hit him and give him a totally bitching electric guitar, then creates a stage and massive speakers out of the ground and finishes by rocking out to a guitar arrangement of the F-Zero theme.
** Really, this is all summed up by the end - "And so, Dad was able to avoid having to face the consequences for his inexplicable acts of random violence... [[The Power of Rock|by rocking out really hard.]]"
*** "Also, his head caught fire again. What's up with that?"
* And the moments get added onto in "Dad's at Work." For starters, nearly every sudden movement he makes ''explodes,'' if not sounds like a gunshot.
* And then in the newly released Dadgame, you take control of this unbelievably badass fellow and ruin your boss' shit as a starting level in story mode (he [[Big Bad|deserves it]]). He then goes on to:
** Block a ninja's attacks with his [[Infinity+1 Sword|briefcase]].
** [[One-Man Army|Fight the police force single handedly.]]
** Defeat a slew of robots.
** {{spoiler|Defeat two robots from previous works of the game's creator.}}
** Defeat [[That One Boss|the creator of the game himself.]]
** And completely obliterate the town's mall.
*** And at the end they had a barbeque. It was nice.

* Just what the hell was eon8? ''Nothing.'' But for a few weeks, the whole internet was wondering. And that was the point. Apparently, putting up a mysterious web page with a target-dotted map of the world and veiled references to various plans (and codebooks!) can freak out thousands of people quite easily if you cover your tracks well enough.

* The March 1, 2010 update for ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' was a big Crowning Moment for both the run-of-the-mill internet user and [[Valve]] alike. For the users, [[Valve]] first mysteriously released an unannounced update, the first in a long while. This update added an achievement, green lights to the radios, and a static affect when a radio is taken to a certain location. Working together, the users of both Steam User's Forums and Facepunch found the meaning to the code in some of the sound files, ran the other static files through a program that made pictures out of sound, solved the mystery of the photos, connected to a BBS connection, and worked until the official announcement of ''[[Portal 2]]''. For [[Valve]], they [[Magnificent Bastard|put together the puzzle, knowing that those of the Internet would solve it so they could safely announce the game.]] Truly a memorable moment for all those involved, solving and spectating.
