History Awesome / Blackadder

* Edmund Blackadder, Esq. ends up alive, and fully set up to take over the prince's identity. And unlike the one of ''Back & Forth'' mentioned below, he doesn't have the help of a time machine; he's just that good. [[(EpilepticTrees Unless that actually was how his decedent influenced history.)]]

--->'''Flashheart''': This! ''(Headbutts Darling right in the face, knocking him unconscious)''

* Edmund Blackadder, Esq. ends up alive, and fully set up to take over the prince's identity. And unlike the one of ''Back & Forth'' mentioned below, he doesn't have the help of a time machine; he's just that good.
** Similarly, him punching out [[RichIdiotWithNoDayJob Prince]][[TooDumbToLive George]] in the same episode. It might have been to keep up appearances, but surely Blackadder enjoyed punching out the idiot who made his life such a hell.

*** He also gives him a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech The Reason You Suck Speech]] when he wants to back out and George tries to make him keep his word. George has to promise him [[Foreshadowing ''everything'']] just to get Blackadder to continue.

** Also later in that episode, Flash chewing out Captain Darling for not bothering to go look for Blackadder after he was captured (his excuse being that it wasn't a "valuable use of [their] time and resources).

---> '''Flashheart''': WHAT A POOF!!

* Flashheart's entrance in season two.

* The future scene from ''Christmas Carol'', if Ebeneezer Blackadder became bad.

Or how a series with an UnsympatheticComdeyProtagonist steeped in sarcasm and absurd still manages to have an impressive number of MomentsOfAwesome.

** Not only that, but he's got a beautiful wife, he's adored by the nation, and he rules alone having dissolved Parliament.

* The Great Booze-Up monologue, mentioned in the Funny page, is also this. Come on, that's some serious on-the-fly thinking to come up with an explanation that fast, from scratch, and actually make it WORK.
* Flasheart killing the Red Baron in series four.

* The end of Back & Forth, with a Blackadder finally becoming king, as his long-ago ancestor first wanted in series one.
** Not only that, but he's got a beautiful wife, he's adored by the nation, and he rules alone having dissolved Parliament.
* The future scene from Christmas Carol, if Ebeneezer Blackadder became bad.
* "Bloody cheek! I'll show them!" Blackadder pulls himself out of a HeroicBSOD, saving his own life and extorting a corrupt priest for everything he's worth.

* Imminent death by burning at the stake, courtesy of the Witchsmeller Pursuivant. No way out!...or is there? One dropped voodoo doll from an unexpected source later, and the Witchsmeller expires spectacularly in a ball of flames, while Edmund, Baldrick and Percy are free!
* Although, it backfires on him in the end, the fury of Ebenezer Blackadder unleashed at the end of ''Blackadder's Christmas Carol.''
* Baldrick's rant about the pointlessness of war, especially the one they're in, in the finale of "Goes Forth." For once, Blackadder has nothing to say in response.
* Flashheart's entrance in season two.
** Flashheart himself is pretty much a walking, talking (and shagging) Crowning Moment of Awesome.
* The Blackadder of the third series ends up alive, and fully set up to take over the prince's identity. And unlike the one of Back & Forth mentioned above, he doesn't have the help of a time machine; he's just that good.
* Pitt the Younger unleashes a major comeback insult at Prince George in "Dish and Dishonesty" of the third series.
-->'''Blackadder''': Mr. Pitt is the Prime Minister, sir.\\
'''Prince George''': Oh go on! Is he? What, young snotty here?\\
'''Pitt the Younger''': I'd rather have a runny nose than a ''runny brain''.
** Sadly, it flies right over George's head.

* The last scene of ''Blackadder Goes Forth'' was a DyingMomentOfAwesome for the entire cast (sans Melchett), the editor, and the BBC for having the guts to broadcast the episode on Remembrance Sunday with only one complaint.

* The Great Booze-Up montage, mentioned in the Funny page, is also this. Come on, that's some serious on-the-fly thinking to come up with an explanation that fast, from scratch, and actually make it WORK.
