8* The entirety of "The Eggpire Strikes Back" is one for Jimmy. First off, there's the scene at the beginning of the special where he brings down the Yolkians' ship by launching a tomato at their windshield. In addition, he's the only one who sees through the Yolkians' plans to get revenge and destroy Retroville throughout the special and once the new Poultra is created, instead of panicking like everyone else, he quickly comes up with a plan to kill her and it works beautifully.
9** Cindy ([[HeelRealization realizing she unwittingly helped get King Goobot into Jimmy's Lab]]), rallies everyone into believing him, basically saying that the town owed him for how many times he saved them all. It works.
10--->'''Cindy:''' Wait! I think Jimmy's telling the truth!\
11'''Jimmy and Libby''': You do?\
12'''Cindy''': Yes! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial While I have no idea how the Yolkians could've possibly gotten into Jimmy's lab]]... ''([[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent Carl and Sheen look up from their respective gorging]] with [[OhCrap wide-eyed realization]])'' Well, the point is, we owe Jimmy! Who saved us when hostile pants were running rampant in the streets? Who propelled the giant flaming meteor headed straight for town? Who risked his life to shrink Ms. Fowl down to size when she was 50 feet tall? OK, I know, all of those things were Jimmy's fault in the first place, but he still risked his life to save us! The least we owe him is our trust!
13** Made even better with the episode's ending. Many other shows would have the hero graciously accept the apology of the town for doubting him. Jimmy revels in rubbing it in their faces, making them say "You were right and we were wrong" in two different languages. After everything the town normally puts him through it's nice to see him get some respect. Another note is how some of the people looks very annoyed and reluctant during time (Sheen having his arms crossed, Principal Willoughby frowning, Judy rolling her eyes, etc) since many of them are usually [[TheUnapologetic unapologetic]] to Jimmy.
14*** It's subtle, but it's impressive that pretty much ''everyone in town'' knew French well enough to correctly repeat that sentence. It must be part of Retroville's early curriculum.
15** And when they decide to spend the rest of the night using the picnic facilities left behind by the fleeing aliens, Jimmy is dancing with Cindy and reveals that Carl and Sheen told him about what happened at the Candy Bar:
16--->"[[BrutalHonesty I'm afraid I'll have to]] [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erase your short-term memory.]]"
17* In "Crouching Jimmy, Hidden Sheen", Sheen gets a singularly epic SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome when he acquires the "Eye of the Tiger" and defeats Martial Arts master Yoo Yee...by ''dancing''. This also doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, since Sheen was doing it to save Libby (not to mention that he only got the Eye of the Tiger after she declared herself to be his girlfriend). This also reveals that Sheen cares about Libby more than Ultra Lord.
18* In "The N Men" when Cindy and Hulk-Jimmy go one-on-one with each other, only for Cindy to realize that Jimmy's strength far surpasses hers, and the only way to quell his anger is to [[AintTooProudToBeg get down on her hands and knees and apologize]].
19** Hulk-Jimmy in general. Although obviously scary, it's oddly amazing to see the raw strength he possesses after initially believing he had no powers, only to realize that ''he'' is the most powerful of the N-Men, not Cindy. He completely curb-stomps and endures the might of the United States military and throws their tanks like he's playing baseball. Even ''the N-Men'' have a hard time trying to ''faze'' him and although Carl uses his super-burps to subdue Hulk-Jimmy, [[NoSell he shakes it off like nothing]] in a mere minute. Hulk Jimmy most definitely would've ''won'' if Cindy -- in the ''very'' last minute -- hadn't [[AintTooProudToBeg apologized to Jimmy for all the grief she and the other N-Men caused him]].
20* Hugh also gets one of these in "Win, Lose and Kaboom", when he saves Team Earth by answering the alien pop culture question on a "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" reminiscent game.
21** The best part? The question ''couldn't be answered'' and he not only knew that but could explain ''exactly'' why it couldn't be.
22** Speaking of, the entire fight sequence of Team Earth and the others fight back to stop the show, especially against the alien host, whose cufflinks allow him to warp reality.
23*** These "matrix generators" are also so dangerous that if their poles touch, it could destroy the entire ''quadrant.'' Cue Jimmy threatening to touch the poles with a stoic and fearless look on his face to get the guy to give up.
24* In the episode "Hall Monster", it was nice to see Jimmy assert his authority over his peers, [[TookALevelInJerkass for a while]] [[DrunkWithPower at least.]]
25* Jimmy gets one in "Return of the Nanobots". In this episode, Jimmy frees the nanobots, only for them to go berserk trying to correct everybody. When his first attempt at creating a LogicBomb results in them trying to '''''erase humanity from existence''''', Jimmy's solution: trick them into calculating the exact value of pi. They promptly explode because of all the digits. It is cool seeing Jimmy defeat a villain as dangerous as them without his technology and only his brilliance.
26* "Lights! Camera! Danger!": After director Quinten Smithee agrees to make Jimmy's script submission into a movie, Hugh begs him for a role. Smithee tells him he can be donut boy just to placate him. Hugh, hilariously, creates a whole character out of the role, playing donut boy as an undercover cop, a [[Film/LordOfTheRings Gollum]] parody, and even writes his own theme song. And in the end, when Smithee- revealed to be Professor Finbarr Calamitous- unleashes a giant animatronic snake to kill Jimmy and his friends, Hugh manages to take it out by ''[[ImprobableWeaponUser feeding it donuts.]]''
27--> '''Hugh:''' Eat donuts, you fiend! Honeyglazed! Chocolate! Chocolate with sprinkles! ''Lemon custard!''
28* In "My Big Fat Spy Wedding," Carl and Sheen of all people save the day. Having overheard Beautiful Gorgeous's plan to get rid of Jimmy and Jet by hypnotizing Jet into killing Jimmy upon hearing a trigger phrase, they call her on it and despite being captured, Sheen calls the Atomic Monkey Special Forces Squad to free them. He and Carl then race across town and manage to get to the church just in time to reveal everything, ruining her plan. Unfortunately, they accidentally say the trigger phrase in their attempt to warn Jimmy, triggering Jet's hypnosis anyway. But this leads to...
29** Once the villainess's plan is exposed, Libby quickly makes the phrase "I Have The Ring" into a gospel tune, prompting everybody to sing to it. By the time it's over Jet is passed out and gets freed from the hypnosis trigger.
30--> '''Everybody:''' "I have the ring! Yes, I have the ring! I have the ring right here!"
31* From "Brobot", Jimmy revealing that he doesn't need to be given TheTalk. He ''already'' knows how the human reproductive system works. ''At ten-years-old.''
32* Baby Eddie gets one in the final scene of "The League of Villains." He and the other villains are stuck in the Cretaceous Period and he's staring down a hungry T-Rex. Completely unafraid, Eddie quickly scares it off by holding up his secret weapon: his five-day-old diaper. Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} especially with the horrified reactions of the other villains.
33* Sheen transforming into "MEGA ULTRA SHEEN!"
34** When it turns out Sheen and Robo-Fiend are evenly matched in power, he reveals he knows Robo-Fiend's one true weakness: lactose intolerance. And Carl summoned a herd of llamas into the game...
35--> '''Sheen:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Taste llama milk, star-destroyer!]]
36* From "Billion Dollar Boy", Goddard is forced into a fight with [[SpoiledBrat Eustace]]'s feline [[AdaptiveAbility Adapt-toy]], which copies all his weapons and amplifies them tenfold. After being beaten down, Jimmy gives Goddard a simple command, harking back to his first appearance: [[SelfDestructSequence Play dead]]. Just as Eustace thinks he's won, his Adapt-toy explodes as well, and completely fails to reassemble itself like Goddard always does.
37** Also from that episode, there's the moment Mr. Strych, with encouragement from his new best friend Hugh, stands up to Eustace and [[BelatedChildDiscipline punishes him for misbehaving]]. It counts as an awesome moment both for Hugh, who gets to show off how good at parenting he is, in spite of his bumbling nature, and Mr. Strych, who had trouble keeping Eustace in line his entire life.
38* Throughout "Clash of the Cousins", Jimmy's been given nothing but a hard time from his entire family, even taking the blame when his gifts for everyone suddenly explode. After he finds the true villain, his cousin Baby Eddie, intends to kill the entire family with a bomb, Jimmy escapes from Eddie's traps and manages to save everyone. Naturally, the whole family is pissed off, especially when he starts fighting with Eddie, and call him a vicious, rotten child ...until Eddie's rattle starts vibrating and he chucks it before it explodes. Jimmy rigged it during their fight and Eddie exposes himself with an angry outburst. Nice one, Jimmy.
39--> '''Eddie:''' You broke my rattle! You dweeby, no-good, pointy-haired, weasel-face freak!
40--> ''(The whole family stares in shock.)''
41--> '''Eddie:''' Uh, I mean... Goo!
42--> '''Aunt Amanda:''' That baby's a bad seed! [[EarnYourHappyEnding It's Jimmy who's the good nephew!]]
43* Hugh and Mr. Wheezer get an awesome moment taking on the mutant crab grass in "The Feud", even though they were fighting in it. They were about to argue, but they quickly go back to helping each other [[PapaWolf the minute they see that their sons are in danger.]]
44* Jimmy and Cindy finally kissing in "Lady Sings the News".
