1* Larry saving the situation at the opening night of the restaurant in season 3. Also a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.
2* [[https://youtu.be/9xTAZlVgkA0 Loretta defending Larry from Susie]] in the season 6 finale.
3* Larry saving Creator/RickyGervais and his GirlOfTheWeek from a mugger on the New York subway with [[ImprobableWeapon an extremely hard baguette]].
4* Larry saving his floundering performance in ''Theatre/TheProducers'' with his stand-up act, [[WinBackTheCrowd drawing the fleeing audience back to their seats]] and resuming his part without a hitch afterwards. Although Creator/MelBrooks [[SpringtimeForHitler wasn't quite as happy about it...]]
5* In the episode "Trick or Treat", Larry is whistling ''Music/SiegfriedIdyll'' by Music/RichardWagner outside of a movie theater when an obnoxious JerkAss proceeds to come up to him and loudly berate Larry for whistling the work's opening melody. When Larry eventually finds out where the man lives, he proceeds to bring a ''large chamber ensemble'' to his house in the middle of the night [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl3Am3LY6mQ to play another Wagner selection]], the Prelude to ''Theatre/DieMeistersinger'', for him as revenge.
6* The episode "Car Pool Lane" included shooting footage at a real game, including mundane footage of Larry going up and down stadium stairs and sitting down and getting up from his seat, most of which never made the final cut. However, in the exact same row sat Juan Catalan, who would later be accused of a murder that took place at the ''exact same time'' as the shoot. So even though the footage didn't make the episode, [[http://www.espn.com/espn/news/story?id=1814312 it ended up clearing an innocent man of murder]]. All of this was eventually made into a Netflix documentary called Long Shot, released a week before season 9 premiered.
7* Bill Buckner saving the life of a baby in season 8, doubly so after you have witnessed all the abuse he was being subjected to on a constant basis to due because of his infamous blunder in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.
8* In s10e4, Jeff spends the entire episode rather spinelessly defending the smarmy, passive-aggressive Mickey from Larry's insults. But when the shoe is on the other foot, and Jeff defends Larry from Mickey, the latter tells him to fuck off. It's supremely satisfying when Jeff subsequently explodes and tells Mickey to go fuck himself, especially when even Suzie has his back.
