5	[[AC:Season 1]]
6	* In "Dance of Doom", three different girls (Val, Steff, and Jill) rejected Dexter Douglas' invitations to the school dance, and how does Freakazoid react upon getting there? He chews out Steff and Jill for lying to Dexter, and after saving the day, turns back into Dexter while Val wasn't looking right after kissing him. It didn't go as planned, but it isn't often you see Freakazoid looking out for Dexter.
7	-->'''Freakazoid:''' ''[thinking while being kissed]'' Dexter and I are different parts of the same whole. Perhaps Val should learn you can't reject one without rejecting the other.
8	* In [[OriginsEpisode "The Chip" two-parter]], Freakazoid is craving snow cones and asks Roddy if he wants to go out for some, but there's no time for it. At the end of Part 2, he's depressed about Roddy being gone. That's when he meets Cosgrove, and their IntergenerationalFriendship starts with this adorable exchange:
9	-->'''Cosgrove:''' You've done a good job here, kid.\
10	'''Freakazoid:''' ''(glumly)'' Thanks.\
11	'''Cosgrove:''' Say, you wanna go out for a snow cone?\
12	'''Freakazoid:''' ''(immediately brightens up)'' Do I ever! ''(hugs Cosgrove)''
13	** Also, it was Cosgrove who ultimately convinced Freakazoid to become a superhero in the first place. [[note]]Granted, it was [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Cosgrove telling Freakazoid that it’ll impress girls]] that finally convinced him to do it, but it’s still sweet.[[/note]]
14	* In one episode, the narrator announces that [[WeInterruptThisProgram the program is being interrupted]] to give the viewers an important message: "I love you".
15	* The FriendlyEnemy relationship between Freakazoid and The Lobe is pretty darn cute, one of the cutest moments being in the episode, "In Arms Way", where the two of them cross paths while Christmas shopping, and reveal that they actually bought Christmas presents for each other.
16	** It's also kind of adorable to see the Lobe say "I hope he gives me troubadour pants" and then bat his eyes.
17	* A real-life one: While recording lines for "Candle Jack", Paul Rugg went off on a long unscripted tangent where he expressed his thanks and admiration for his costars; the animators responded by ''[[https://youtu.be/J1FPBOUChZU working it into the show]]''.

19	[[AC:Season 2]]
20	* The ending of “Dexter’s Date” actually lets [[ButtMonkey Dexter]] [[ThrowTheDogABone catch a break for once]]. After being [[ShapeshifterModeLock unable to change back from Freakazoid]] for a good majority of the episode, and having to deal with Lobe on top of it, he’s finally able to change back to normal and go back to his date with Steff. While Dexter thinks that the date has pretty much been a disaster, Steff disagrees, thanks to the Lobe’s [[ItMakesSenseInContext musical number and subsequent chase with Freakazoid]]. She tells Dexter she had a fun time, then [[GiveGeeksAChance kisses him on the cheek]]. The smile on his face afterwards is just precious.
21	* In “Mission: Freakazoid” Professor Jones gets two; first is when Cosgrove saves him after the plane gets shot down. The second is after his attempt to rescue the Douglas family failed, when everyone compliments him for having the will to go in to begin with.
22	** Tying in with the above from "Dexter's Date," despite Steff's initial reaction to learning Freakazoid's SecretIdentity being somewhat disparaging to Dexter Douglas, she does still remain his girlfriend.
23	* In "Statuesque", when Freakazoid reverses the effects of the watch that [[TakenForGranite turned Steff to stone]], what is the first thing he does? Runs right over to her, and gives her a big hug. Even ''[[TheStoic Cosgrove]]'' couldn't help but go, "Awwwwww"!
24	* The series finale in season 2 sees the show go out with dignity and grace. It ends with a curtain call of Freakazoid, his friends, family, enemies, even the announcer and of course, Mr. Spielberg himself. And they send it off by singing Vera Lynn’s “We’ll Meet Again.”

26	[[AC:Other]]
27	* In the comic book {{Crossover}} with ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', Dot develops a PrecociousCrush on Freakazoid. That alone is adorable in itself, but another sweet moment comes at the end. After The Lobe is defeated and it’s time for Freakazoid and Cosgrove to go back home to Washington DC, Dot is understandably crushed. So Freakazoid lets her down easy... by quoting ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''.
28	-->'''Freakazoid:''' Now, you’ve got to listen to me! Do you have any idea what you’d have to look forward to if you stayed with me? Nine chances out of ten, we’d both [[BreakingTheFourthWall wind up in a comic book.]] Isn’t that true, Cosgrove?\
29	'''Cosgrove:''' Oh. Yeah. Right. Whatever.\
30	'''Dot:''' So I’m getting a one-way ticket to Dumpsville?\
31	'''Freakazoid:''' No, it’s true. Inside both of us, we both know you belong here. If that water tower door closes, and you’re not in there, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today, but soon and for the rest of your life.\
32	'''Dot:''' But what about us?\
33	'''Freakazoid:''' We’ll always have Burbank.
