History Awesome / TheDreamstone

*** Eariler, Frizz gets annoyed with Blob yelling at him to clean out the hose they're using in their plan, and angrily snaps that if Blob can do better then he's welcome to try, prodding Blob as he does so.

*** In "The Moon Of Doom" after the two sides clash, Amberley begins [[ThisIsUnforgivable pontificating at]] [[TheDragAlong Frizz and Nug]] again and mocks that they can't hurt them from inside their bubble. The Urpneys (once again PressGanged into a mission they hate and [[VillainBallMagnet getting guff for it]]) for once don't cower and reply by just [[PragmaticVillainy deadpan admitting they don't care]] and snap at her to shut up, leaving her fuming in silence.

*** "The Dream Beam Invasion" was the nearest the Urpneys ever got to [[ATasteOfDefeat spoiling a victory for the heroes]]. After a night of successfully ruining the Noops' dreams, the heroes catch on and stop them the following night, however not before Frizz and Nug shrink into a dream and do their job. An angry Rufus, Amberley and Albert in turn shrink into the dream to start their usual DisproportionateRetribution, however just as the Urpneys are ready to surrender, their spell runs off, turning them giant in comparison. After one mean DeathGlare, the heroes decide they KnowWhenToFoldEm and make a dash (and pratfall) out the dream ''[[MassOhCrap screaming in terror]]'', leaving the Dream Maker with no choice but to let them escape. To clarify, [[TheChewToy Frizz and Nug]] made the Noops and even Albert ''cower before them''.
*** In "Frozen Assets", Blob handily nets Albert and later Amberley using the same trick, sending Frizz and Nug onto them, [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy knowing the heroes would get too smug for their own good against them.]]
*** In "The Moon Of Doom" after the two sides clash, Amberley begins a haughty ThisIsUnforgivable speech against Frizz and Nug and mocks that they can't hurt them from inside their bubble.

* In "Urpgor's Great Adventure", after Urpgor keeps complaining about Blob's failures he is told LetsSeeYouDoBetter. He does actually get off to a good start, he captures Albert and snags the Dreamstone instantly. When the Noops corner him and demand he surrender, he immediately attacks them with his multi purpose mech and actually has the upper hand, until Albert breaks free. This also counts as another case Albert and the Noops pull through without assistance, showing they can take on a more aggressive foe than Blob's troops.

*** Zordrak, usually an OrcusOnHisThrone, also has an Awesome Moment in his scene. While always menacing and sinister, his plans rarely expanded past [[PokeThePoodle giving the Noops bad dreams]] originally. Here he makes a full BadassBoast of his plans for his new treasure; to take it to the Nightmare Planet and corrupt it into evil, so he can use it to crush his enemies and become "LORD OF THE UNIVERSE!!!". The Noops creeped out expressions throughout sell that things are a lot more dire for them from this point on.

* Zordrak's face off in "Megattack", finally leaving his lair to unleash a full scale invasion on the Land Of Dreams. The heroes know they are outmatched so call upon the Planet Dreamstone, leading to an epic BeamOWar. The Noops get a mini Awesome Moment by managing to deactivate Zordrak's hovering throne before he gains the upper hand.
* After Urpgor is fired by Zordrak in "The Nightmare Stone" (the title trinket rendering his inventions redundant), he manages a secret coup that disposes of the stone and leaves the overlord having to beg him back (or more accurately, get Blob to beg him instead). Urpgor is a sniveling toady but he does ''not'' take rejection well.
** He does it again in "Return of the Nightmare Stone", pulling an EnemyMine with Rufus and Amberley by directing them to destroy the titular stone. This culminates in "The Return" where Urpgor hides the depowered stone for good on the Nightmare Planet without Zordrak even noticing.
** He and Blob's squad also neutralise and capture Zordrak's new minion, a solid Argorrible, to avoid redundancy in "Horrible Argorrible".

* In "The Mirror", a lake monster attempts to drag Amberley down into the water. Rufus wrestles with it's arm for a long while but eventually pulls it off, upon which it grapples him. Amberley on the other hand just grabs a large tree branch and ''lobs it off him with two quick whacks''.
** Following this the Urpneys of all people perform an ''accidental'' rescue, when their malfunctioning droid performs a CurbstompBattle on the monster. After this it also makes a "missed by a second" attempt on taking the Dreamstone (which also applies as another mini Awesome Moment for Amberley).

* Zarag dupes the Noops by posing as a Dream Maker in "The Substitute", and as an extra insult has them obliviously send nightmares to the whole town in another rare victory for the Argoribbles. As mentioned above, Rufus outsmarts her when trying to get the Dreamstone, again defeating a more WorthyOpponent on his own.
* Zordrak's DangerouslyGenreSavvy moment in "The Nightmare Stone". When the heroes make a fake attack on Viltheed so Rufus and Amberley can sneak inside and steal the title stone, Zordrak quickly suspects and gets Frizz and Nug to capture them in time. If [[TheStarscream Urpgor]] hadn't done the same thing straight after (as mentioned above) he would have won.

* Mr. Blossom in "The Monster", when he sees the titular HumongousMecha - instead of running away in fear, he yells at it for crushing his flowers, and hits it with his hoe.

* Frizz and Nug shrinking Urpgor, followed by Frizz firing him out of a catapault, in "The Shrinking Stone".

** The Noops and the Wottles escaping Viltheed in "The Stowaways". Also sabotaging the Urpneys' plan without them even noticing they were there.

** "A Day Out" is a pretty noteworthy example, elaborately sneaking through Viltheed and snatching the stone from Zordrak via a split second opening.

* [[VillainousValour As sympathetic as the Urpneys were]], any time the Noops ''didn't'' win [[CurbstompBattle easily]] or through DeusExMachina, and [[EarnYourHappyEnding were made to show their own valour]] was refreshing:

* In some episodes it's obvious the Urpneys could actually win rather handily if not for [[BornUnlucky dumb luck always unravelling their plans]]. Not to mention nearly any opening the heroes leave for capturing the stone, [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin they manage to take advantage of]]. Rufus leaves the stone out open for a brief while? They steal it. The Wuts leave their guard for about five seconds? They speed through unnoticed.

** In "Albert's Ailment" the Urpneys actually beat the Noops and Wildit (one of the most formidable Wut soldiers) at GoodOldFisticuffs and tie them up. They were mere seconds from destroying the stone as well (and probably would have succeeded if not for a sword and speckled yellow mushroom all conveniently placed in the heroes' cell).

*** Given how often the show ran on ProtagonistCenteredMorality, pretty much any rare moment the Urpneys got the upper hand specifically because the heroes [[DesignatedHero started getting]] [[DisproportionateRetribution too douchey]] [[UnscrupulousHero about it]] was pretty cathartic. Blob handily capturing Albert and later Amberley mid-gloating in "Frozen Assets" is another example.
*** In "The Moon Of Doom" after the two sides clash, Amberley begins a haughty ThisIsUnforgivable speech against Frizz and Nug and mocks that they can't hurt them from inside their bubble. The Urpneys (once again PressGanged) reply by just [[PragmaticVillainy deadpan admitting they don't care]] and snap at her to shut up, leaving her fuming in silence. This shouldn't really count since they were midway through an EvilPlan, but this is probably the one time the two responded to a confrontation from the heroes that wasn't simpering or begging for mercy.

* Even though it ultimately ends in miserable failure, Blob tricking Urpgor into letting him and his men "help" test the Molemobile (when they're really going to steal it) in "Blob's Incredible Plan".

* While usually having a more cushy time stopping the villains afterwards, the Noops still perform occasionally impressive stunts to get the stone back in later episodes. "A Day Out" is a pretty noteworthy example, elaborately sneaking through Viltheed and snatching the stone from Zordrak via a split second opening.
