1	* John Ritter's dance number in "Up In the Air" at a cocktail party where Jack is loopy from mixing tranquilizers to calm him on a small plane ride and alcohol at the party. It's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq73S_0iDO4 tour-de-force]].
2	* When Roper mocks gay people for being "interior decorators", Jack points out that some gays are also ''boxers''. When Roper expresses doubt that a gay person would hit another guy, Jack says "Only if they make fun of us" and cracks his knuckles.
3	** Even ''better'' is that Jack's not ''really'' a gay person ''himself'' , yet he refuses to let them be ''stereotyped''.
4	* Also a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment\|s}}: In Season 6, Jack mistakenly serenades a woman named Bernice instead of his evil blonde girlfriend, Arabella (a stereotypical Southern belle). Bernice gives a speech about their romantic MeetCute, and it's clear she ThinksLikeARomanceNovel. In the next scene, when Arabella makes fun of Bernice, Jack stands up for Bernice and repeats her romantic speech, and then he kicks out Arabella.
5	-->'''Arabella:''' I never want to see you again.\
6	'''Jack:''' [[Literature/GoneWithTheWind Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.]] ''[slams door]''
7	* One episode has a lonely old man spending time at the apartment, much to the chagrin of a woman trying to score with Jack. Said woman finally snaps at him when the two are alone in the living room, telling him that he's a nuisance and should leave, which he does. When Jack reenters the room, he asks where Leo went:
8	-->'''Nancy:''' He left.
9	-->'''Jack:''' He left?
10	-->'''Nancy:''' I told him he was a nuisance.
11	-->'''Jack:''' ''(angrily)'' You what?!
12	-->'''Nancy:''' Come on now, who would you rather spend time with? Him, or me?
13	-->'''Jack:''' ''(smiles)'' Oh, no contest. ''(glares)'' GetOut.
14	* A Season 6 episode sees Janet become enamored with a dancing instructor named Michael who dazzles her with his charm and promises that he can make her dream to be a dancer come true. Jack (and Terri) suspects that Michael is just toying with Janet, but she angrily rebuffs their fears, feeling that they don't have faith in her ability. When Michael later gives Janet an indecent proposal, flat out proving that he was indeed only interested in Janet sexually, Jack comes to the rescue and drives Michael away. That BigDamnHeroes instance is epic enough on its own, but the following is definitely Awesome in a heartwarming sense. Jack tries to console the heartbroken Janet, who keeps interrupting him by acknowledging that he and Terri repeatedly tried to warn her about Michael's true agenda, but Jack only counters by tenderly asking his roommate for a dance.
