History Awesome / VideoGameHighSchool

-->'''Ashley''': I guess it'll be, uh, 32 on...7?
-->''Shane and Ashley laugh.''
-->'''Calhoun''': Make that 32 on 8. [[WhamLine I never graduated.]] Let's do this.
-->'''Shane''': But you were the dean.
-->'''Calhoun''': I never could say goodbye or pass gaming history. But nonetheless, that still makes me a better student than all of you chumps. You came here to bathe in the blood of your enemies, to game with the best of the best, and you have one last chance to make that happen. And you're just gonna sit around and do nothing? This school may be going down, but I say we go down ''fwingin'''! Now, who's with me?
-->''The whole student body in the room gradually stands up.''
** Ashley and Shane's mom scolding them, forbidding them to run the Napalm Mega Mall, and dragging them away by their ears as they [[ManChild burst into a fit of angry whining and crying]], effectively saving VGHS in the process.

* After Ki accidentally gets Brian put on the spot to demonstrate the most efficient way to get through a practice session, he picks up [[WeaponOfChoice a tomahawk]] and some grenades. Sure, [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome he messes up and makes a fool of himself]], but he ''does'' manage to shave off several seconds from Jenny's time - he just missed the final throw.

* Brian somehow gets roped into throwing down in-game with a bully within mere minutes of getting to his dorm. His relatively low-tech gear starts acting up on him during the match, and he can't aim or move properly. His solution to an InterfaceScrew once his pistol runs dry? Reload it, then lob the constantly-firing weapon out to drive the other guy from cover. Then he runs out and [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks whip-cracks]] [[AnAxeToGrind a fricking tomahawk into the guy's head]]. Immediately shows that Brian may have gotten noticed on a fluke, but he's actually very good.

* Episode 4 has [[spoiler: Bryan defusing the bomb - which he was previously unable to do - with Cheeto wrapped around his head!]]
* Episode 5 has [[spoiler: Shot Bot's HeroicSacrifice to save The Law.]]
--> '''The Law''': [[spoiler: Get out of here...I can't stand for you to see me like this.]]
--> '''[[spoiler: Shot Bot]]''': [[spoiler: ...Not until I finish my story. ([[LetsGetDangerous cocks fist]]) Here's the first draft! Bot meets boy! (punches the glass)]]
--> '''The Law''': [[spoiler: What are you doing?!]]
--> '''[[spoiler: Shot Bot]]''': [[spoiler: [[RoboShip Bot falls for boy!]] (punches)]]
--> '''The Law''': [[spoiler: You idiot! The water will kill you!]]
--> '''[[spoiler: Shot Bot]]''': [[spoiler: Bot hurts boy! (punches)]]
--> '''The Law''': [[spoiler: ''What are you doing?! Stop!'']]
--> '''[[spoiler: Shot Bot]]''': [[spoiler: And now...I'm sorry, Law, but boy loses bot. (charges and launches a Hadoken, shattering the glass and freeing The Law, as The Law lets out a BigNo)]]
* While [[spoiler: it was short-lived]], seeing Brian, Jenny, and the Law ''working together'' is an amazing sight. There is no hostility whatsoever between the Law and Brian, and there's even a few times where they seem to be becoming friends. [[spoiler: Of course, the Law leaving the school at the end to join a rival school kind of ruins that idea.]]
** The Law gets ''a lot'' of moments that episode. First, there's his entrance into the game: [[spoiler: he runs up to Jenny and Brian and tells them "Give me thirty seconds." He then gets himself shot and goes through what appears to be some kind of tutorial mode, sharpening his shooting skills before re-entering the arena and using ''his last bullet'' to shoot the guy with the light machine gun keeping Brian and Jenny pinned. He then takes the machine gun, hoists it into the air, and screams "[[AndThisIsFor FOR SHOT BOT!]]" Then, of course, there's "I'm a chessmaster, D. I was thinking what you were thinking ten thinks ago. Now get up that hill."]]

** Episode 6 also features [[spoiler:a fight between Ki and competitive fighter champion Ronin. Ki wins the first round with no sweat, but Ronin manages to get the second round. In the last round, Ki ends up getting beaten (but not to the point of losing), but she realizes through a series of flashbacks that she has helped lots of people at VGHS, and shouldn't stop now. Ki gets the HeroicSecondWind that she needed, blocks all of Ronin's blows effortlessly, and finishes her off with an uppercut that turns her into dust.]]
** There was also [[spoiler:the race between Ted and DK. As you can probably expect, DK was handing Ted's ass to him. After hearing people taunting him in his head, Ted went through a shortcut and got back on the course ''in front of DK'' practically just at the finish line.]]

** After [[spoiler:Jenny costs her team a big match against Napalm and has Brian break up with her immediately afterward]], Ashley Barnstormer quips, "Lovers' quarrel, huh?" Immediately afterward, Jenny [[ShutUpHannibal punches him in the face]] and continues to attack him, having to be held back by her teammates.
* In a flashback that takes place five years in the past, when 12-year old Ashley and Shane are asking that they join VGHS, Calhoun declines their offer. They try to bribe him with a $900,000 check, but Calhoun rips it up without batting an eyelash. He then shuts them down even further by calling them "terrible people" and stating that he'll never let them join the school. Considering these two are [[spoiler:the show's BigBadDuumvirate]], it felt pretty good to see Calhoun stick it to them.

-->'''Ted''': You ate my [[spoiler:dead dad]] candy!

** Ted then challenges DK to a race for the title of Drift King. [[spoiler:Ted ends up stopping his car mere inches away from the finish line, deciding to let DK keep the title.]]

** Around the start of the episode, [[spoiler:VGHS and Napalm organize a big 32-on-32 match called the Napalm Bowl, but VGHS doesn't have enough members. Jenny and Brian approach the Barnstormers to try and forfeit, but they won't let them out of it.]]
-->'''[[spoiler:Ashley]]''': [[spoiler:I guess it'll be, uh, 32 on...7?]]
-->''[[spoiler:Shane and Ashley laugh.]]''
-->'''[[spoiler:Calhoun]]''': [[spoiler:Make that 32 on 8. [[WhamLine I never graduated.]] Let's do this.]]
-->'''[[spoiler:Shane]]''': [[spoiler:But you were the dean.]]
-->'''[[spoiler:Calhoun]]''': [[spoiler:I never could say goodbye or pass gaming history. But nonetheless, that still makes me a better student than all of you chumps. You came here to bathe in the blood of your enemies, to game with the best of the best, and you have one last chance to make that happen. And you're just gonna sit around and do nothing?

** [[spoiler:Ashley and Shane's mom scolding them, forbidding them to run the Napalm Mega Mall, and dragging them away by their ears as they [[ManChild burst into a fit of angry whining and crying]], effectively saving VGHS in the process.]]

** Doubly so as that's Johanna Braddy actually singing it.

** After [[spoiler:Jenny costs her team a big match against Napalm and has Brian break up with her immediately afterward]], Ashley Barnstormer quips, [[TooSoon "Lovers' quarrel, huh?"]] Immediately afterward, Jenny [[ShutUpHannibal punches him in the face]] and continues to attack him, having to be held back by her teammates.

* In Episode 7, Brian starts a fight with The Law by tackling him [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and makes him look like a pussy,]] though part of that may be because Brian took him by surprise. Then a brawl ensues, and Ted takes down 4 goons with one body slam. Then, Brian makes a run for his ID, but is held down by a girl, all but setting himself up for The Law's punch...except he ducks at the last minute, causing The Law to punch out the girl instead, [[GroinAttack and deals a nut punch to The Law.]] [[ShoutOut Then, he runs up the Tetris-style blocks]] [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros and jumps towards the flag in slow-mo to get his ID.]] [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming This display is met with applause from the students.]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Then, Brian meets Games Dean, and takes back his hat from Episode 2.]]

* Episode 9 ends with a truly epic finale---[[ContinuityNod Brian tries to replicate the grenade-on-head fiasco that got him into VGHS]] but is instead brought to his knees by a chest shot from The Law. The entire enemy team surrounds Brian, and [[EvilGloating The Law goes on a tirade about how Brian is worthless and has nothing to lose.]] Brian then looks towards Jenny (who was hiding out of sight up to this point) says, [[PreAssKickingOneLiner "Almost]] [[LetsGetDangerous nothing,"]] and rolls to the ground and grabs the grenade on the ground while Jenny shoots someone and tosses Brian a pistol, [[HeroicSacrifice dying to The Law's bullet in the process.]] Brian then kills the rest of the enemy team in slow motion, and runs towards The Law, knocking away his pistol and planting the grenade on his chest, pries The Law's gun from his hand, then shoots The Law in the leg twice, forcing the Law to kneel just like Brian was only moments ago, [[UnflinchingWalk and walks away, throwing away his empty pistol while the grenade explodes, killing The Law in the process.]] [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming This display is met with applause and Dean Calhoun acknowledging that Brian deserves to be in VGHS.]]

* In Episode 7, Brian starts a fight with The Law by tackling him [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and makes him look like a pussy,]] though part of that may be because Brian took him by surprise. Then a brawl ensues, and Ted takes down 4 goons with one body slam.

* After Ki accidentally gets Brian put on the spot to demonstrate the most efficient way to get through a practice session, he picks up [[WeaponOfChoice a tomahawk]] and some grenades. Sure, [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome he messes up and makes a fool of himself]], but he ''does'' manage to shave off several second from Jenny's time - he just missed the final throw.

* The fiasco that got Brian into VGHS. He knocks the grenade [[ArrogantKungFuGuy The Law]] placed on his head, dodges the bullet The Law fires, and then blows up the grenade at Law's feet. The expression on Law's face when he realizes something has gone awry in his pub-stomp is priceless.

* The StanLee cameo in the first episode.

* After hours of negotiation, pleading and bribing, Ki finally settles The Law's roommate complaints by punching him in the face.
