** Adam's true Crowning Moment Of Awesome came with his first appearance on ''[[Mock the Week]]'', and the entire conversation about his artificial foot.
{{quote|'''Dara O'Briain:''' And thank you Adam, for what could have descended into freak show territory, but you held it together with an enormous amount of dignity as we basically said "SHOW US THE WEIRD THING! SHOW US THE WEIRD THING NOW! LET US SEE THE UNUSUAL LIMB!"}}
* In April 2009, a dumpy, overweight, single, unemployed, 47 year old woman named Susan Boyle appeared on ''[[Britain's Got Talent|Britains Got Talent]]'', stated her ambition to become a professional singer, was laughed at by the audience... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puPHa_BY3cM and then she started to sing.] Within seconds Piers looks like the sun's just risen for the first time in years, Amanda's jaw is on the floor, and Simon's melting all over the judges' table. One of the most moving renditions of [[Les Misérables (theatre)|"I Dreamed A Dream"]] that has ever been performed.
** The music starts at 1:46 into that clip. That clip, however, contains both the pre-singing snarky anticipation, and all the reaction shots of the judges and the audience being ''totally mindblown'' afterwards.
** There has ''got'' to be a trope for someone like her. Someone who looks all sweet, clueless, and dorky and not very interesting, and then ''bam'' they do something that totally '''''WTFPWN'''''s everyone in sight. [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]], perhaps? Certainly no one will ever underestimate her again. Talk about not judging a book by its cover! And she knew ''precisely'' what was going to happen. That little smirk on her face right before she opens her mouth to sing is just screaming, "I am going to blow these suckers' minds, and it is going to feel ''damn good''." You go, girl!
** Maybe we should create a page, like [[Crouching Suck Hidden Awesome]]...?
** She got a standing ovation ''twenty seconds after she started singing.'' Twenty seconds, and she's already proven herself to the world. Damn.
* In ''[[Dark Angel]]'''s second season finale Joshua finds himself face to face with the man who killed his beloved Annie, realizes who it is and cuts loose (an odd show of strength aside he never got a fight scene like Alec or Max did, making this doubly awesome), beating him senseless and then stretching him over his back until Max talks him out of breaking him.
* ''[[The Unit]]'' is made of these, but Tiffy's turning an invitation from an anti-war group into the debate equivalent of a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] in "Old Home Week" was ''awesome''.
