Line 6:
Expect some awkwardness in the pinning of actual medals, especially if one receiver is highly unusual (particularly a non-human) or the giver is impaired in some way (blind, decrepit, etc.). Another common element is for the award-giver to be opposed to the heroes, such as an [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]], and must now show them honour in public as part of a [[Humiliation Conga]]. They may try to sabotage the proceedings in secret.
May also involve an [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]], on the part of either the giver or receivers or at least be the result of [[Expose the Villain Get His Job]]. Contrast [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 20:
* In the film of ''McHale's Navy'', an admiral pins medals on everyone (except the woman, because of the awkwardness).
* The end of ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'' takes place at the [[Academy Awards]].
* At the end of ''[[Mars Attacks (Film)]]'' the teenager who discovered how to defeat the Martians and his grandmother are awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Because the President was killed by the Martians, they're given the medals by the President's daughter, and instead of a U.S. Marine band, there's a mariachi band providing the music.
* Happens at the end of ''[[Iron Man 2]]''.
* ''[[The Wizard of Oz (Film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'', with the wizard handing out medals, certificates, etc.
