4	* Spot the superdog's first appearance in the ''Pridelands'' Imaginate crossover [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/03/26/exceeding-expectations/ here]], as a muscular figure crucified on a cross, is a memorable stunner -- as is his ferocious subsequent beatdown of his adversaries.
5	* [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2010/07/12/slave-to-details/ King standing up to Pete in The Celestial beings' game room is admirable and then some.]] It's worth noting that Pete is as powerful as a god, as are his pals at the table. Being able to confront Pete in front of his friends, courageously pointing out his wrongdoings and being recognized for them, is a strong sign that King knows how to confidently handle himself.
6	* [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2010/07/05/this-is-my-tsk-tsk-face/ The introduction of]] Spirit Dragon is awe-inspiring, showing her to be a huge, imposing (and angry) being. It's even {{Lampshaded}} by King.
7	-->'''King''': "This would be so awesome if I didn't wet myself."
8	* Sporting CoolShades, avoiding certain defeat, ''and'' affecting an UnflinchingWalk as done by Grape, Zach, and Peanut away from a gigantic water balloon bomb splash [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2011/08/01/the-only-way-to-end/ here?]] Yeah -- awesome.
9	* Fox making a diving save to catch King's [[SoulJar stopwatch]] qualifies as major-league impressive. His somewhat reconciliatory dialogue [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2011/06/01/enters-the-hero-take-iii/ afterwards]] doubles as a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming Moment]].
10	* Grape, when she was two years old according to WordOfGod, fearlessly beats up a kidnapper armed with a gun... [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2012/02/06/ten-gallons-of-tailwhipping-in-a-five-gallon-can/ using just a broom]]. Plus she single-handedly vanquishes the kidnapper's pet, an alligator, by jamming the broken end of the broom handle between its jaws.
11	* {{Jerkass}} Bino receives a couple of fully satisfying beatdowns courtesy of Bailey in this webcomic. He had it coming both times.
12	** In [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2012/12/10/something-off/ this strip]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes Bailey punches]] Bino so hard she nearly caves his face in when he angrily interrupts her argument with King over a trivial matter.
13	** Some time later, she [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2015/06/22/dunkin-dogs/ sinks Bino three times on a carnival dunking booth]] after he impatiently tells Bailey to throw the ball and quit stalling.
14	* Jata, a leopard who's ripped and in his prime, versus the elderly and well-worn wolf Uncle Deadeye. Surely that's a recipe for a curbstomp battle, right? Actually, things do not turn out well at all for Jata [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2013/11/13/hand-to-hand/ in this case]], as he gets unceremoniously thrown fully dazed (notice the leopard's [[WingdingEyes spiral eyes]] [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2013/11/15/double-bubble-trouble/ here]]) into a pool -- or as an offscreen character puts it, "Wow, I didn't know cats could bend like ''that''." Uncle Deadeye's knowing smirk when he grabs the leopard's paw is utterly priceless.
15	* Fox's thrashing of Joel [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/05/21/that-one-scene/ here]] is stunning, especially given that the former is normally [[BewareOfTheNiceOnes a reserved and quiet character]]. He has just discovered that his friend King is actually the canine incarnation of Joel, a human PETA worker who kidnapped and tried to kill Fox earlier. Joel's refusal to fight back is just as awesome, as he knows full well he was in the wrong and stoically accepts the beating. When Fox finally breaks down and tearfully hugs Joel, the scene morphs into a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming Moment]].
16	* When King, Bailey, Sabrina, and Tarot decide to stop fighting for Spirit Dragon and Pete [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2014/08/27/out-of-thick-creamy-air/ here]], thus making Kitsune end the game, it's a memorable moment indeed and leads to several subsequent ones.
17	** Awesome points for Kitsune who decides to give Pete and Spirit Dragon exactly ''ten minutes'' to convince the four to resume playing [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2014/08/29/asking-nicely/ here]]. He might be a god-like entity like the others, but he certainly knows that neither of them stand a chance of persuading the foursome to continue.
18	** More awesome points for [[JerkassGods Pete]] taking a [[AssholeVictim well-deserved]] [[FoodSlap strawberry milkshake]] [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu to the face]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes from Bailey]] along with [[TheAtoner King's]] little ShutUpHannibal speech [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2014/09/01/shake-it-baby/ here.]]
19	** Sabrina and Tarot standing up to Spirit Dragon and [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2014/08/29/asking-nicely/ telling her where to stick it]] when Spirit Dragon tries playing the moral high ground is a nice, if understated, moment. Dragon's face in the last panel shows she knows ''exactly'' how little hope she has of success.
20	** Kitsune continues his awesome BatmanGambit [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2014/09/03/as-the-good-book-says/ here]] and even manages to give Pete a powerful VillainousBreakdown [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2014/09/05/white-space/ here]]. He exposes Pete’s manipulative cruelty and cluelessness in playing the game and gets him to break down in front of those he has harmed, rendering him unable to continue play and allowing him to embarrass himself thoroughly.
21	* In ''Temple Crashers 2'' Res dives into Pete's mana pool and ''[[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2018/03/09/tiger-tiger-burning-bright/ turns himself into a demigod]]''. [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2018/03/26/what-does-a-god-need-with-ultimate-power/ He then overpowers The Forgotten,]] [[KamehameHadoken using the limitless power of Pete's mana pool to blast it and Euodant back through the portal]] before closing it, saving Keene and Breel in the process [[ShoutOut with style]].
22	-->'''Keene:''' Excellent use of a ''Film/{{Ghostbusters\|1984}}'' reference.\
23	'''Res:''' It was either that or a ''[[Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier Star Trek V]]'' allusion.\
24	'''Keene:''' [[TakeThat You made the right call]].
25	* King and Bailey want a day of rest from parenthood by going on a date -- just the two of them -- but they encounter problems trying to find someone suitable to babysit their puppies. When it looks like they've run out of options, it turns out that the last to offer their services are [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2017/02/15/guess-who/ Grape and Peanut]]. It's especially relevant since this combo of characters has had little to no interaction at all, despite being recurring protagonists.
