History Awesome / Metalocalypse

** In a meta-example, Mashed Potato Johnson is such a badass that he can guest on a Dethklok album with the band's utmost respect, pulling off an absolutely sweet blues guitar solo in "Murdertrain A-Coming."

* "Doublebookedklok": Dethklok brings peace to the Middle East. [[UpToEleven Made even better]] by the fact that it's done using giant space holograms made explicitly so that the band can perform for all of Syria AND Israel simultaneously. When a soldier almost shoots an innocent girl across the border and the music begins, they look up, and we see that both are wearing Dethklok shirts. Awesome.

''(sprays Murderface)'' Can you imagine cleaning the feculent crud out of this moron's diapers every morning? ''(sprays him again)''Let me tell you billionaire lowlives something. There is nothing...NOTHING in this world more brutal and grotesque than raising children!

* RealLife Example: A Dethklok fan was playing their music loud at his job. His boss' daughter told him "to turn down that vile music." He refused, and he locked his computer on a continuous loop of Dethklok. His boss didn't even care.
** YMMV on that one, though. That could also be interpreted as simply an obnoxious person being obnoxious. Of course, it's also pretty obnoxious to think you can boss someone around just because they work for your father.

** More recently, at the end of the second season episode "The Revengencers" [[spoiler: Charles has his rematch with the assassin, who surprises him, knocks him around, and throws him out the highest story window of a hospital, only for Charles to make a perfect three-point landing on the ground below, with only a slightly bloody mouth to show for it]].
** Also, when the band tires to hire a new, mellower manager to take over Offdensen's position, Offdensen approves of Melmord's hanging around with the band-- "I like it when they're happy"-- but refuses to hand over his job. "I've grown quite accustomed to working with Dethklok, and, ah, you'd probably have to kill me to get them away from me." [[spoiler: The two later fight to the death. Offdensen wins.]]
* Because of complications with the studio equipment, Skwisgaar once had to record a guitar solo by more...unconventional means. In this case, [[spoiler: by ''jumping out of an airplane and playing before he opened the chute.'']]
** Twice. [[spoiler: Toki accidentally deleted the first recording, which Knubbler had forgotten to back up.]]
* The band totally out-negotiating ''[[MyRuleFuIsStrongerThanYours the devil himself]]'' in "Bluesklok."

* When at a concert for the revived and sobered-up Snakes-N-Barrels (Pickles' [[OldShame old band, now with a new front man]]), Toki is increasingly annoyed by a fan behind him screaming and whooping into his ear. Murderface, on the other hand, found out that Toki registered the domain name "Planet Piss" (Murderface's side project) under his own name [[spoiler: and filled it with photoshopped pictures of Murderface in bestiality acts)]] just for laughs. By the time all hell breaks out at the end of the concert, Toki is in an uncontrollable rage and has beaten the fan [[strike: within an inch of his life]] to death, while Nathan and Skwisgaar look on in utter shock. Poor Murderface picked the ''wrong'' time to confront Toki; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80IORg9r6Ek Toki looks up from the carnage and screams at Murderface, who looks like he's about to void himself]].

** Toki, [[spoiler: having spent the entire episode drunk, knocks out Nathan Explosion's would-be assassin with a vodka bottle.]]
** Murderface [[spoiler: puts his newly found fire-marshal mojo to work, leading a woman out of the Mordhaus inferno: "Hey mama, come with me if you want to live."]]

** Skwisgaar [[spoiler: kills two assailants with his guitar. He doesn't even break a string.]]
*** [[spoiler: "And the neck's still straight!"]]
** Pickles, [[spoiler: staring down the barrel of a shotgun, tearfully confesses to Skwisgaar that he, of all the band members, successfully perfected the art of self-fellatio. "I can die now."]]
** Nathan Explosion [[spoiler: saves Offdensen from the Masked Assassin by bashing him over the head with a burning 2x4. "That's ''my'' bread and butter you're fucking with," paralleling Offdensen's line above.]] Also a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, something you don't really expect on ''Metalocalypse''.
*** Not to mention [[spoiler: spending most of the episode carrying an incapacitated Toki out of the burning rubble while quietly lecturing him on his substance abuse problems.]]
** Offdensen [[spoiler: performing a backflip from one flying bike to another while under fire after aiming his bike to take out the sonic weapon, plus any scene of him in the War Room. "Release the Deth Spiders."]]
* Season Three starts off pretty grim for Dethklok. With Offdensen apparently dead from the end of season two, the band is left at the mercy of a tyrannical record exec who is trying to renegotiate their contract in retribution of Nathan punching him when they first met. At one point, Nathan is about to cave in to the label's demands when suddenly a bright light shines out from behind the band. [[spoiler: It's Offdensen, clad in a leather jacket and sporting a badass scar. The exec moves to strike him but is stopped by Nathan's fist in his face (again!). Offdensen turns to the band telling them to play their show while he "has a little chat" with the record head.]] My dorm room erupted in cheers. Just goes to show that NO ONE messes with Dethklok.
** The fan response to [[spoiler: Offdensen's return]] was so strong, it was later jokingly stated to have caused a coast-to-coast earthquake in the US that morning.

** Season three premiere. [[spoiler: Offdensen comes back.]] That is all.
*** [[spoiler: Not just coming back, but coming back in time to prevent Dethklok from signing a new contract with a corrupt record executive.]] Fans everywhere rejoiced.

* Pickles gets a pretty awesome BigDamnHeroes moment at the end of "Rehabklok." He finishes the final step of his rehabilitation just in time to find that [[spoiler: the drum machine that replaced him has kidnapped the rest of the band and threatens to kill them with its self-destruct mechanism. The machine locks Pickles inside, preventing his escape...and also trapping him with an entire table's worth of alcohol. After an [[GoodAngelBadAngel internal argument with himself,]] Pickles decides to get drunk AND save the band. Which he pulls off fantastically with the hover drums that landed him in rehab in the first place.]]
** The band later talks about how [[spoiler: he played the entire show completely wasted and didn't miss a single note. Drumming or drinking, nobody does it better than Pickles.]]

* Toki, the bands perennial ButtMonkey, getting some sweet revenge on the others by [[spoiler: tricking them into dressing like Klan members, at a racial harmony event, even if it was unintentional.]]

* Roy Cornickelson standing between Dethklok and [[spoiler: Salacia.]]

* [[spoiler: Nathan apologizing to Pickles]] in "Church of the Black Klok".

** [[spoiler: Dr. Rockso's]] BigDamnHeroes moment when the band gets surrounded by aspiring junkie musicians:

-->[[spoiler: '''Dr. Rockzo''']]: [[spoiler: CACACACACACACACACACACACACACA-COCAINE! Ca-Ca I'll fend 'em off! Ca-ca you save yourselves!]]

** The Deth Lights. [[spoiler: After four seasons, the Metal Masked Assassin is finally dead.]]
** Magnus' realization of how much he underestimated Dethklok and [[HeelRealization accepting his role as the villain]], [[spoiler: as well as his death.]]

*** No love for the fact that after saying that, he says "''Shalom!''" and cue the [[AwesomeMusic epicness that is "The Galaxy"]] as ''all of the Middle East is united''. Kick. Ass.

*** And got Music/BearMcCreary to orchestrate it, resulting in [[AwesomeMusic an amazing soundtrack]].

--> '''Murderface:''' ...[[KnowWhenToFoldEmWhat's up, bro]]?

* When at a concert for the revived and sobered-up Snakes-N-Barrels (Pickles' [[OldShame old band, now with a new front man]]), Toki is increasingly annoyed by a fan behind him screaming and whooping into his ear. Murderface, on the other hand, found out that Toki registered the domain name "Planet Piss" (Murderface's side project) under his own name [[spoiler: and filled it with photoshopped pictures of Murderface in bestiality acts)]] just for laughs. By the time all hell breaks out at the end of the concert, Toki is in an uncontrollable rage and has beaten the fan [[strike: within an inch of his life]] to death, while Nathan and Skwisgaar look on in utter shock. Poor Murderface picked the ''wrong'' time to confront Toki; Toki looks up from the carnage and screams at Murderface, who looks like he's about to void himself.

--> '''Murderface:''' ... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80IORg9r6Ek What's up, bro]]?

* The band totally out-negotiating ''[[RulesLawyer the devil himself]]'' in "Bluesklok."

-->'''Nathan's dad:''' I used to be happy...until ''you''. I had to spend time with her! And I had to spend my beer money on little kid's clothes! THAT'S brutal!

* In "Dethfam," the band is visited by their families, which causes them no end of embarrassment. What would their parents know about being brutal? After a whole episode of being berated and rejected by their kids, the parents darkly explain the horrors of their own lives, because there is ''nothing'' in the world more brutal and grotesque than raising children. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-35ZDpMUcJM And that is when they let loose their inner beasts.]] That's OLD SCHOOL brutal.
* In the season one finale, when Toki and Skwisgarr are about to be killed by a PsychoForHire, Offdensen comes by and saves them, telling the killer that "that's my bread and butter you're fucking with" and proceeds to throw his gun away, snap the guy's arm, stab him with his own knife and kick him into the sea. While in a business suit. This scene proves why he's the manager of the most brutal band to ever exist.

* Because of complications with the studio equipment, Skwisgarr once had to record a guitar solo by more...unconventional means. In this case, [[spoiler: by ''jumping out of an airplane and playing before he opened the chute.'']]

--> '''Toki:''' ''(While covered in blood, curb stomping a guy into the ground)'' WHAT THE F[[SoundEffectBleep *guitar*]]S DO YOU WANTS MOTHERF[[SoundEffectBleep *guitar*]]R?!

** There's a "blink-and-miss-it" moment, but when the screen focuses on the {{Jerkass}} after he was caught by Dethklok breaking Toki's snowglobe, you can see the crowd standing behind with their faces basically saying "Oh shit, you smashed that Dethklok guy's snowglobe and now you're fucked because you got his [[PapaWolf brothers/father-figures]] [[PapaWolf going after you like a hell hound]]! Guess you'd better make yourself scarce before they beat the shit out of you!" Proof that Dethklok is a supreme force to be reckoned with in both the musical industry and protecting those they (internally) care about.

-->'''Nathan''': [[InadvertentEntranceCue We need some drugs.]]
-->'''Pickles''': I don't have none.
-->'''Skwisgaar''': Whats we gonna do?
-->'''Murderface''': Oh shit, we're fucked.

* RealLife Example: The fact that Brendon Small (the show's creator) has played an encore with Music/JoeSatriani and Music/SteveVai (among other virtuosos) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEV9bA0kjRU at the same time]] proving his {{Badass}} [[PowerOfRock guitar skills]].
