Line #31 Awesome/Shortpacked


1	'''[[Administrivia/SpoilersOff Unmarked spoilers below.]]'''
2	----
3	* The Robin vs Legion of Something fight. Which peaked when Robin shoved [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/code-of-something Faz's head up Sarah Palin's ass! ]]
4	** Which also crosses into homage/parody territory, considering that it's Shortpacked's version of "Code of Hero" from Beast Wars. Incidentally, Davis used this arc to promote Dinobot to get him into the TF's Hall of Fame--and it worked.
5	* Ronald Reagan. [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/ratchet Stopping a break-in with Patriotism]].
6	** [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/blam Just his whole attitude]] towards a gun-wielding robber, as well. (Note that the [[PatrioticFervor Patriotism]] bit happens ''after'' this part.)
7	--> "You gotta try harder, son. I've been shot there before."
8	** Also, Ronald Reagan lecturing Bruce Tinsley on "sides".
9	-->'''UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan:''' [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/precept Son]], I have come to believe that the conservative way of life, what I stood for, is about ''personal responsibility''. A restoration of the American precept that ''each individual'' is responsible for ''his'' actions. It shouldn't be about ''sides''. When you worry more about sides than what the [[GodIsGood good]] [[{{God}} Lord]] taught you, you weren't on the ''right'' side to begin with. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Unless we're talking about those darn communists, what with their souls full of maggots]].
10	** And her speech to Robin in strip 895: "[[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/the-way-things-should-be The Way Things Should Be]]".
11	* "Leslie is the Cookie Monster, and I! Am! The Friggin'! Cookies! [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/name-badge Hawk your substandard wares elsewhere]]."
12	* Mike's proposal to Amber, which he put together by [[BatmanGambit switching the door placards of Amber and Jacob's apartment a year prior and stealing Amber's mother's cell phone so that she'd go to Jacob's apartment looking for it and Jacob, who was in the thralls of his sex addiction, would seduce her, so that he could record the sounds of their lovemaking and edit them into a marriage proposal.]] Which actually backfires, since he had intended to it to drive Amber to leave him.
13	* Ninja Rick gets two. Both times he's given a dramatic entrance leaping from behind the person introducing him, sword drawn. One is when he's used to beat the crap out of someone holding up the store:
14	-->'''Galasso:''' [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/presume Never presume a man does not have ninjas at his disposal.]]
15	** It's worth noting that he actually puts up a decent fight, even stopping a bullet with his sword at one point. We never find out what took him out of the fight after Robin gets shot.
16	** And second when Faz uses him to usurp Galasso's position:
17	-->'''Galasso:''' You ''dare'' presume--
18	-->'''Faz:''' --[[IronicEcho that I do not have ninjas at my disposal?]]
19	* "[[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/margarine I slept with Ethan!]] I rode him like a Harley over a bad stretch of road. And you never, ''ever'' will."
20	** [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/team-robin The follow-up is even better.]]
21	* [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/criticism Amazi-girl™ is immune to criticism.]]
22	* [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/harder Try harder.]]
23	* Amber finally calls out her dad for everything he's done to her. He was in a coffin at the time, but it's the thought that counts.
24	** Also, this:
25	-->'''Mike:''' ''while flipping off the corpse with both hands'' Later, jerkhole. I'm fuckin' your daughter.
26	* Lucy demonstrates Starfire's influence on her to be a [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/low-hanging-fruit strong feminine figure]] while still being a nice girl.
27	* Happened [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome off-screen]], but Robin managed to defeat Head Alien II. How? By cutting him up into sixteen pieces with a laser cannon and chucking the pieces in several different alternate dimensions. Why? [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Because he hurt Leslie.]]
28	* When Rachel shows up to pull the Alternate Universe's Drama Tag, she effortlessly defeats the alternate versions of Galasso, Ninja Rick, and Malaya. It was so awesome that Leslie and Alternate Amber were turned on by it. And several of the fans were apparently turned into lesbians. Even the men.
29	* The story where Les gets kidnapped. After beating her location out of Faz, Amber tries to convince her that it's too dangerous and she should give up. Robin's response? [[LetsGetDangerous Let's]] [[BigDamnHeroes do]] [[AssKickingPose this]] [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/let-the-battle-be-joined poop.]] [[ImprobableWeaponUser She then picks up a toy foam sword and proceeds to own three douches in short order, get Walter Mondale to quit, and after a beat down by Sarah Palin, [[HeroicSecondWind gets back up]] and gives her a colonoscopy Faz-styled]]. All in the setting of the [[AbandonedWarehouse Shortpacked store which is dark because it's pre-opening hours.]]
30	** And all in one panel.
31	** Then she beats Sydney Yus. With FridgeLogic
32	*** Actually, not burning down the store made sense because then Galasso would have collected the insurance and rebuilt the store. Although, Sydney didn't think of that so it was fridge logic at the time.
33	--->'''Robin:''' Did... did I save my lesbian?
34	--->'''[[JerkAss Mike]]:''' No. She died.
35	--->'''Amber:''' Yes Robin. You saved them. And you saved the store.
36	--->'''Robin:''' Th'n that was purty kickass. Tell my Tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, th' ill deeds along wit' th' good. And let me be judged 'cordingly. Though, if y' embellished it wit' a hot threesome 'r somethin', that'd be cool.
37	* The robber arc.
38	--> '''Galasso''': First mistake: ''Never'' tell Galasso what to do. Second Mistake: Never assume a man does not have ninjas at his disposal.
39	--> So after you were shot, Ronnie got up and disarmed the robber himself. With ''patriotism.''
40	--> '''Robber''': ''[As he is loaded into an ambulance]'' IT WAS REAGAN, I TELL YOU! RONALD REAGAN BROKE MY LEGS! [= =]
41	* [[StrawVulcan Straw Vulcans]], take note: [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/ripcord this]] is how a ''real'' scientist handles emotions.
42	* Dude, [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/amberrampage go Amber]]! She tells off Faz, beats up Ninja Rick, and ''yells at Reagan''.
43	* The actual phrase "Crowning Moment of Awesome" is used in [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/crowningmoment this strip]]. The walls of fiction and reality are breaking down! I don't know what to believe any more!
