2[[caption-width-right:350:"For the rest of you space creatures and galactic weirdos; the next time you think about coming down here and messing with us Earthlings, ''think again''!"]]
3* [[Creator/ConanOBrien Conan O'Brien]] curbstomping Bill Maher. All while Bill Maher's attempts at humor are met with silence.
4* Music/{{Hanson}} vs. the Music/SpiceGirls. The winner: ''Music/MarilynManson'', who cut down the lighting rig over the ring with a chainsaw, crushing everyone (save for Mills who dove out of the ring just in the nick of time).
5* [[TookALevelInBadass Nick Diamond]] vs. Zatar the Alien.
6* Another one for Nick in "Nick's Return": Having been in a coma for 2 episodes, he ''forces himself awake'' after hearing on TV that the producer's {{Jerkass}} of a son will replace him if did a good enough job subbing for him that night.
7** It gets better! Once he's awake, Nick ''broke said TV'' (probably in anger), stole an ambulance, '''drove back to the stadium''', KO'ed said son via '''headbutt''', and went back to work in time for the episode's main event, "Marilyn Manson vs. Garth Brooks".
8--->'''Nick:''' Nobody sits in my chair.
9* Nick and Johnny fighting Sam Donaldson because he tried to take over their show by claiming they were dead in "A Celebrity Deathmatch Special Report."
10* The next episode, with Music/{{Blink 182}} and 98 Degrees, is one big CMOA, mainly because it has the two bands fighting ''in huge ass Franchise/{{Gundam}}-esque [[HumongousMecha robots]]'' for most of the episode.
11* Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards breaking up Jerry Seinfeld's fight with Tim Allen... to ''kick the crap out of Jerry for ending'' ''[[{{Series/Seinfeld}} their show]]''.
12** Bonus points for Richards's speech.
13* Pamela Anderson was getting beaten easily, then her opponent, [=RuPaul=], decided to flirt with Pam's husband at the time, Tommy Lee. Pam doesn't take this well and starts beating up [=RuPaul=] like she was born to do it!
14** From the revived episodes: Pamela Anderson kicking Tommy Lee's ass because he gave her hepatitis
15* Madonna kicks Music/MichaelJackson into a pit of hydrochloric acid. Not only does Michael survive, but is also completely unharmed aside from having his plastic surgery removed.
16* David Spade is coming back from being curb-stomped by Steven Seagal to win the match by slingshotting Scottie Pippen's championship ring through Segal's head.
17* When Rodney Dangerfield had been on the receiving end of Don Rickles' insult humor in the [[TheRoast "Roast Match"]] where said humor led to laying blows, it was a BatmanGambit intended for Don to [[VictoryByEndurance burn through his material too soon,]] opening the way for Rodney to lay down a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and [[http://liquidtelevision.com/video/celebrity-deathmatch-rodney-dangerfield-vs-don-rickles/ come back from behind to win.]]
18* Marilyn Manson killing Charles Manson in a gruesome way fit for such a monstrous person.
19** Heck, even the name of the move he used to do so is awesome; ''The Tunisian Skeleton Pull of Death''.
20* The second Anne Robinson threatens to kill a puppy (to force him to surrender the fight), Bob Barker goes ''apeshit'', knocks the puppy out of her grasp, and then proceeds to ''disembowel her'' with his bare hands! Holy crap, don't piss off Bob Barker!
21-->'''Nick''': Holy mother of no children! ''He took her ovaries!''
22* Even if it didn't end well for him[[note]]He got disqualified for desecrating the American Flag[[/note]], James van der Beek killing Saddam Hussein. What better way to dispose of America's enemies than by beating them to death with an American flag?
23** From the same episode, the fight between George Washington and Abraham Lincoln was badass for the sheer spectacle of watching the USA's two most iconic figures duke it out. They're so evenly matched that the fight ends in a draw, and so tough that they both survive being decapitated. Of note is when Teddy Roosevelt (Lincoln's cornerman) discovers Richard Nixon helping Washington cheat and dispatches him personally via his [[CarryABigStick trope-naming weapon]].
24* Mills Lane fighting Judge Judy blindfolded and winning handily after she attempts to usurp his role as referee.
25* The duel between Generals Lee and Grant. There was a whirlwind of steel, the end of which saw the match be decided by a fatal thumb war.
26* Nostradamus somehow managed to avoid getting pulled to the present by the time machine (after foreseeing that he would lose to John Edwards) [[ScrewDestiny and instead]] [[WriteBackToTheFuture sent a letter in his place]].
27* From the show's first HalloweenEpisode, Wrestling/TheUndertaker vs. [[{{Expy}} Captain]] [[Film/TheExorcist Doody]], a demon possessing Nick's son, Nicky Jr. Undertaker manages to exorcise Doody out of Nicky with a ''Tombstone Piledriver''!
28* Yes, a lot of fans consider her a ReplacementScrappy, but you got to admit, Debbie "re-killing" Zombie!Stacy Cornbred in the second Halloween special was pretty awesome.
29-->'''Debbie:''' Now ''stay dead'', [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!]]
30* Yes, the revival wasn't that great, but the Creator/AshtonKutcher vs. Creator/BruceWillis fight did have one thing going for it; ''Creator/DemiMoore rappelling down into the ring and beating the shit out of '''both of them''''', all because Ashton had to go and [[OpenMouthInsertFoot put his foot in his mouth]].
31-->'''Ashton Kutcher:''' Look at me! I can get any woman in Hollywood I want! I could ''dump Demi and have a date the same night!''\
32'''Bruce Willis:''' ''(smirks)'' Pal... you just made a big mistake.
33* Also from the revival, Creator/AdamWest defying the odds and defeating his younger and hipper replacement Creator/ChristianBale, proving the old man's still got what it takes to be Batman after all these years.
34* UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan interfering in the match between [[Music/CultureClub Boy George]] and Creator/DonJohnson in the 80's flashback episode. Sure, it's mostly because he thought George was a woman and he got angry at Johnson for hitting her, but considering how petty Johnson's [[UnsettlingGenderReveal grievance]] was, it's still very much this trope.
35--> '''Johnson''': Mr. President, that's no lady, that's Boy George!
36--> '''Reagan''': She can call herself whatever she wants, but that doesn't give you the right to hit her! Not on my watch, Mr. Gorbatchev! *cue asskicking*
37** Also, Reagan's finishing move.
38---> '''Reagan''': It's bedtime for Bonzo! *jumps off the turnbuckle and crushes Johnson's skull*
39* Sherlock Holmes killing Jack the Ripper by [[HumanPinCushion tightening the killer's overcoat against his body, impaling him with the many blades he kept hidden within]].
40* The one and only Groucho Marx (with some help from his brothers) beating John Wayne and making him look like a fool in the process.
41* Creator/SeanConnery vs Creator/RogerMoore was as awesome as a MirrorMatch between two different versions of Film/JamesBond could be.
42* Music/OzzyOsbourne killing Music/RobZombie almost immediately and using dark magic to turn him into a zombie slave was damn cool. Sure, it backfired on Ozzy once [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters the literal Rob Zombie turns against him out of hunger for human flesh]], but Ozzy still manages to defeat him regardless.
43* The entire battle between Creator/RobertDeNiro and Creator/AlPacino has the two battling while in-character as their most famous roles. The first round has [[Film/RagingBull Jake LaMotta]] pull a VictoryByEndurance by taking [[Film/TheGodfather Michael Corleone's]] punches until the latter's fist is worn down to the wrist; toward the end, [[Film/TheUntouchables Al Capone]] manages to put down [[Film/Scarface1983 Tony Montana]] with a [[YourHeadAsplode baseball bat to the head]].
44* Creator/JoePesci Vs UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte; The entire fight was set up as a joke about how short the two were despite being an actor specializing in tough guys and a conquering ruler respectively, complete with having them fight with toys. Napoleon pulls out an unexpected win with something completely unrelated, namely his secret weapon; ''Le Hand Du Stank!'' As a combination of Napoleon being ThePigPen (since he's from 18th century France), and his iconic [[HandsInPockets hand-in-jacket]] pose, his left hand has a lethal TouchOfDeath that leaves Pesci begging for mercy before Napoleon pins him to the mat with lawn darts and kills him.
