1* One of the [=IDs=] of the show. It opens with Johnny trying a pickup line with an unseen woman. The woman's response? A barrage of slaps to the face! It may look like the typical DisproportionateRetribution that tends to happen to Johnny but here is the impressive part. The slaps were delivered as RapidFireFisticuffs, which resulted in Johnny's face getting slapped back and forth twelve times in three seconds. The audience may not know who that woman is or how she looks but we do see that she has some fast crazy hands that are capable of slapping your face four times in one second!
2** Bonus point for actually knocking Johnny to the ground and leaving him with a face covered in bandages.
3*** The best part comes from Johnny. You'd think that he'll learn his lesson but he's actually more excited to woo the woman after her hands mercilessly slaps him senseless. This guy sure is a Determinator.
4* Occurs in the short-lived spin-off series ''JBVO'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHuFKlaJzME In one episode,]] Johnny gets a request to show an episode of ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. This causes Johnny to call up the viewer, Jennifer, and explain that he can't actually do her request... [[BaitAndSwitch because of time constraints]]. But, rather than deny the request, [[TakeAThirdOption Johnny decides upon]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAvztitWqjY a compromise:]]
5-->'''Johnny''': I'm gonna play your favorite episode of ''Dragon Ball Z''... [[MotorMouth and we're gonna fast forward through some of it, alright?]] Stay with me on this one...
6** What follows is Johnny proceeding to recap [[https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Mighty_Blast_of_Rage the climax of]] [[Recap/DragonBallZNamekArc Goku's battle with Frieza]]... in 30 seconds.
7--->'''Johnny''': [[{{Understatement}} ...kinda loses something in fast forward, doesn't it, Jennifer?]]
8* Johnny getting the last laugh on "The Sensitive Male" by telling Sheldon's three girlfriends how he has been cheating on them with each other. They beat Sheldon up, put him in a TribalCarry, and take him away.
9** It's also an awesome moment for Johnny because it proves that, for all of his terrible pick-up lines, he's something of an EthicalSlut. Sheldon [[BitchInSheepsClothing pretends to be nice but is actually a manipulative liar]] who freely admits that he'd say or do anything to get a woman to date him, and boasts that as long he does it politely, they'll be [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain too stupid to catch on]]. Johnny immediately arranges for the three girlfriends to find out about each other and get revenge, and he doesn't even woo them in process. Johnny Bravo may be a moron, but he's an ''honest'' moron.
10-->'''Johnny:''' What a jerk.
11* Johnny beating up the MonsterClown in "The Man Who Cried Clown", even if it did bite him in the ass.
12* Johnny beating up a kangaroo poacher.
13* In one episode, Johnny was [[ItMakesSenseInContext busy chasing a leprechaun]], who [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles turned himself into a sheep and hid amongst a flock of identical-looking sheep.]] Johnny for once grabbed the SmartBall, and drew the leprechaun out-- by yelling "Scotland Rules!" out loud, causing the leprechaun to complain (thus revealing himself). Pretty damn clever for Johnny.
14* In the pilot, Johnny manages to not only survive, but utterly defeat an alligator at the zoo. This was way before his flanderization set in.
15-->'''Johnny:''' Get off of me, you son of a handbag!
16* Johnny filling in for Santa and delivering presents on Christmas. What makes it awesome is that unlike you'd expect it to go, he does it almost (he accidentally switched the presents meant for the mayor's wife - a big diamond ring - and Johnny's mama - bunny pajamas) perfectly.
17* The season two episode "Aunt Katie's Farm" has Johnny and Carl filling on a TV show where Johnny suffers the usual DisproportionateRetribution due to hitting on the female host. After going through so many indignities that he's literally begging to be spared Carl hits the LastStraw with his latest humiliation, causing Johnny to hit his RageBreakingPoint and going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. After getting even with Carl the female host threatens to call security only for Johnny, for perhaps the only time, to fight back against the normal DisproportionateRetribution he goes through and get even with her as well.
18-->'''Johnny''': '''THAT'LL TEACH YOU TO MESS WITH PIGGY PIG, ''WON'T IT, KIDS?!'''''
19* Johnny spends "Did You See a Bull Run By Here?" getting roped into a bullfight and being repeatedly clobbered by said bull. Then a phone starts ringing.
20-->'''Bull:''' ''[answering]'' Yo, talk to me.\
21'''Johnny:''' ''[on the other end and wearing a boxing glove]'' Mr. Bull? [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Look behind you.]] ''[tosses the phone; POW!]''
22** He then follows up by helping the beautiful movie producer he'd been trying to woo get the bull out of there once he learns the locals plan to kill and eat him for being defeated.
23* In "El Bravo Magnifico": After seeing how incompetent Johnny is, the cowardly townsfolk rush the bandit [[ZergRush in mass]] and clobber him.
24* "Bravo, James Bravo" has Johnny follow a woman named Jane to her workplace. It turns out she's a secret agent. This leads to a series of Moments of Awesome:
25** Johnny is given a comb that is secretly a bomb--you comb once to activate it, and twice to turn it off. Johnny promptly [[{{Troll}} trolls]] Jane and her boss by rapidly combing his hair, keeping perfect track of how many times he pushes through his locks to make sure it does not go off and grinning the entire time.
26-->'''Johnny:''' Scared you, didn't I?
27** Johnny is able to outsmart the MadScientist who plans to take over the world by asking to look at himself one final time as a LastRequest. The scientist agrees, and Johnny promptly takes out a pocket mirror that the spymaster gave him--which is actually a laser gun. He promptly frees Jane and teams up with her to take out the guards. He had also handed the comb bomb to one of the guards and it blows up in his hand. The explosion launches Jane into the mad scientist and Johnny into his doomsday device.
28** Finally, at the episode's end, Johnny is asked to leave the agency and never speak about it. He agrees on the condition that he gets a kiss from Agent Jane, who says yes--largely because she's put on some special malaria-causing lipstick. But the smooch ends up getting ''her'' sick, and she faints into Johnny's arms. His response? "I tend to have that effect on women." It's such a smooth, clever line that it elevates Johnny from CasanovaWannabe to genuine ladies' man.
29* Johnny working out in "The Time of My Life" to the point where he went from a lanky, skinny geek to muscular TopHeavyGuy to impress his prom date.
30* In "Bungled in the Jungle", King Raymond yells, "PrepareToDie, you hairless ape!" and throws logs at Johnny. Johnny grabs two beavers and uses their teeth to destroy the logs, then chops down the tree Raymond is in, saying, "Take that, [[WesternAnimation/MagillaGorilla Magilla]]!" The tree falls and crushes Raymond.
