[[folder: Season 1]]
* The moment in the pilot where Shawn convinces the police not to arrest him because he's a psychic, demonstrating his abilities to their astonishment and awe. What makes this moment particularly awesome is that ''[[PhonyPsychic he isn't one]]''. It pretty much sets the scene for all the on-the-fly RefugeInAudacity moments he'll pull throughout the series.
* Gus is not the kind of guy you'd expect to have a [=CMoA=]; usually the nerdy StraightMan, he exists mainly as [[ButtMonkey a long-suffering foil]] to the antics of his much cooler friend Shawn. Then, one of of their cases takes Gus and Shawn to a comic book convention where Gus meets a few people he pretends not to know, Shawn makes a few too many snide comments and Gus delivers a rant that not only even impresses Shawn, but will resonate with anyone who's had to put up with one too many people making fun of their interests:
-->'''Gus''': ''[Discussing a sci-fi movie blog]'' Everybody reads this blog.\\
'''Shawn''': ''[Dismissively]'' No, not everybody.\\
'''Gus''': ''[Snapping]'': Everybody ''here'' does, Shawn! And you know what? I don't care what you think! So why don't you let me do the talking here at the convention? And try not to embarrass me. This is ''my'' turf. And yes, I knew the guy in the codpiece. His name is Dave. And he's a really nice guy.\\
''[Gus swaggers off in a nerdy yet strangely cool fashion]''\\
'''Shawn''': ''[Stunned speechless]'' ... Snap.
* In "Weekend Warriors." Shawn and Gus confront the killer, who pulls a gun on them. At this point, over a dozen armed Civil War reenactors who Shawn and Gus brought with them show themselves, forcing the killer to surrender.

[[folder: Season 2]]
* While the solution to the mystery in "65 Million Years Off" is fairly predictable, TheSummation is quite impressive.
--> '''Juliet:''' [Shawn] guarantees that in ten minutes he can solve the case, nab the killer, close an additional unsolved murder, and ...
--> '''Vick:''' And what?
--> '''Juliet:''' Unearth a dinosaur.
* In "There's Something About Mira": Shawn passed the detective exam with perfect marks at ''fifteen''. Something neither Lassie nor Jules did. What makes it even cooler is that this isn't Shawn being typically boastful and showing off - he misses Jules and Lassie's argument so doesn't know that this isn't a common thing, and just mentions it as a passing comment.
* The finale case summation in "Meat is Murder... but Murder is also Murder" may very well be the best one of the entire series. Gus' Uncle thinks that Gus is the psychic, the newspaper employees think that Shawn is the psychic, and the cops think that Gus is translating Shawn's visions, so how do they summarize the case without blowing the facade? They work together, claiming that the "visions have become too complex to decipher", and summarize the case together while hamming it up and assaulting each other. It has to be seen to be believed
* In "The Old and the Restless", Jules manages in less than five minutes what Lassie couldn't in the better part of the day - get a spoiled juvenile delinquent to change his behavior. We never learn what she said, but we can see her tear him a new one in Chief Vick's office. When all is said and done, the juvenile is shaken, Jules leaves the office with a confident stride, and everyone is watching in shock and awe.

[[folder: Season 3]]
* Shawn threatening Gus' boss to let him continue working with Shawn on cases by revealing that he knows that he's been cheating on his wife and he's been repackaging medicine samples and reselling them.
* When the arsonist in "Earth, Wind and... Wait for It" [[DrivenToSuicide attempts suicide out of guilt for his crimes]] ''Gus'' of all people saves him: He takes charge, orders Shawn to carry out the unconscious Woman of the Week, and ''dives for the arsonist, who'd just set themself on fire'', saving them, and carrying him out in a rolled carpet (or something resembling it, at least).
* In "Lassie Did a Bad, Bad Thing," Lassiter is lured into a trap in his own apartment by Detective Drimmer, the dirty cop that framed him for murdering a suspect. Lassiter is totally unintimidated by Drimmer shoving a gun in his face, insulting him and then easily dispatching him with a pistol he had hidden in a bowl of '' peanuts'' (one of ''eight'' guns he has hidden in his apartment).
* Shawn throwing the cell phone into the ocean in "An Evening With Mr. Yang." After running around following Yang's clues, Shawn takes control of the situation for the first time.
* Doubles as heartwarming, but when Shawn hears that Gus is taken hostage, he stands for half a second comprehending it then immediately tries to rush in. Lassiter has to hold him back.
** Lassiter gets one when he agrees to throw the rules in the trash and go with Shawn to rescue Stubbins's (the man who's been forced to rob the bank) wife. Juliet, too, for agreeing, just because of Shawn's frantic gestures, no words, to do the same.
** Gus gets one, too, when the situation in the bank starts to go sideways and he dares to investigate the situation with the men in the bank.
* The police have three suspects restrained around an inactive bomb one of them designed. Shawn tries to find who designed the bomb by ''activating it on a sixty-second clock'', with two police officers restraining three suspects within a meter of it.
* Gus gets an offscreen one in "Tuesday The 17th." Shawn and Juliet are tracking down a killer, who has ambushed Gus and some other victims while they were off looking. After finding out, Shawn spots Gus being attacked by the killer (who is wielding a knife) alone and immediately rushes in to rescue him. After running always to the scene he desperately runs to what he thinks Gus' collapsed body, only to find out it's the killer - Gus had already beaten him up off screen, without a scratch on him. Of course, then the killer wakes up, and it's him vs Shawn instead.
* In "Christmas Joy", Lassie ambushing and arresting the bad guy while dressed as Santa Claus.
* In "The Greatest Adventure in the History of Basic Cable," Shawn finds a ''literal pirate treasure'' that had been lost for centuries. He figures out most of it while in police custody.

[[folder: Season 4]]
* In "Shawn Gets the Yips," When a gunman shows up at Buzz's birthday party, Lassiter goes GunsAkimbo and runs the guy off the moment that Shawn informs him of the threat.
* In one episode featuring a park recreating [[TheWildWest the Wild West]] setting in everyday life, [[InspectorLestrade obstructive Head Detective Carlton Lassiter]] makes the arrest with several police cars behind him on a wide, dusty road. The suspect readies up for a [[ShowdownAtHighNoon quickdraw showdown]], after being shown to be an amazingly fast draw. And Lassie ''outdraws'' him ''and'' shoots only to wound, to the amazement of everyone around. [[Funny/{{Psych}} And the confusion of the guests, who thought the guy in the dark suit was the bad guy of the showdown.]]
* The opening of "Shawn Gets the Yips" has one for Lassiter. The second Shawn tells him there's a guy with a gun, he goes GunsAkimbo on the hooded man, exchanging fire with him. Sure, [[SubvertedTrope he misses]], but the fact that [[CrazyPrepared he carried guns]] to a ''baseball game''...
* In "High Top Fade Out", Gus's old college friend Leonard managed to acquire and stash away information on a drug gang before they killed him.
* "Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark," is a crowning moment of awesome for almost the entire cast, but specifically for Shawn, who, over the course of the episode, escapes from the trunk of a moving car, jumps from one car to another during a high-speed chase, and uses a gun for only the second time in the series to successfully hit a target both his ex-cop father and Detective Lassiter couldn't ''with a bullet wound in his shoulder''. However, the true [=CMoA=] for Shawn is when he uses his hypersensitivity to ''watch a bullet'' as it's fired at him. It still hits him, but damn!
** The first is in the pilot, with the only witness being Lassiter's partner, who is replaced by Juliet in the second episode of the series. This scene establishes that Shawn is a crack shot as he fires through the bullet holes previously made by Lassie's old partner at the gun range. Which makes it a [=CMoA=] in itself and grants another one for setting up a bit and waiting 4 years for the payoff.
** Also earns us this gem of a line, which coming from Lassiter is awesome in and of itself:
-->Lassiter: Nice shooting, Detective.
** "If Shawn really has been shot, there's no room I'm not gonna bust open to find my son."
* "Hell Raisers and Thrill Seekers": When the killer of the week attempts to escape via parachuting off a cliff, Gus tackles and holds onto him with an iron grip until they land. In fact Gus' grip is so tight it causes the killer, who is a very physically active man, to ''pass out''.
* In "The Head, The Tail, The Whole Damn Episode", Gus knocks out the killer for calling him a panty waste.
* From "Mister Yin Presents", Lassiter gets one.
--> '''Lassiter:''' You have other units, chief. I'll be going to get my partner now.
** Shawn also gets one when he steps up and does the responsible thing; "It's Jules; we know where she is, we follow Lassie, we save Juliette." Then he figures out the clue and saves Abigail.
** Gus gets one in the set where everyone has a role to play. Juliet pulls the tap and falls through a trap door. Gus runs over, picks up her gun, and follows without hesitation.
** And then his words to Gus as he sets out to save Abigail alone: "The only way I can't be there for Jules is if I know YOU are."
** Gus and Lassiter's rescue of Juliet. Gus grabbing the hand of the clock, and Lassiter jamming the gears.
* Shawn, normally a NonActionHero, holds his own for a surprisingly long time against US Marshall Wayne in "A Very Juliet Episode". He even manages a [[UnnecessaryCombatRoll kip up]]. Which he immediately lampshades.
-->'''Shawn:''' Did you see what I just did?!
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Season 5]]
* In "Romeo and Juliet and Juliet", where Gus steps up big time and proves that Shawn isn't the only who can play the BavarianFireDrill when Shawn tries to talk his way into a children's martial art class:
-->'''Shawn:''' That's what I call, uh...\\
'''Gus:''' Discrimination. And ageism.\\
'''Owner:''' Who are you?\\
'''Gus:''' [[BavarianFireDrill I'm his lawyer]].\\
'''Owner:''' You brought a lawyer?\\
'''Shawn:''' I keep a lawyer on retainer at all times; there is so much injustice in the world you practically can't leave the house without one. And apparently today it paid off.\\
'''Owner:''' Right. Ok, well I will see you in court then. Now--\\
'''Gus:''' Perfect. I'll need a statement from you, and since I intend to try this in both civil and criminal court, I'll need the police here as well. May I use your phone? Or do you only let the ''white people'' use that? ''[Even Shawn looks a bit taken aback by this development]''\\
'''Owner:''' Who said anything about white people?!\\
'''Gus:''' You just did.\\
'''Owner:''' The words 'white people' did not come out of my mouth.\\
'''Gus:''' There they are again. Luckily I had my hand recorder on for that one. ''[Produces a hand recorder]'' By the way, I am now disclosing this conversation is being recorded.\\
'''Owner:''' Recorded?! Okay, this is crazy!\\
'''Gus:''' Crazy? You wanna know crazy? I sued 300 businesses last year alone. I sued a hot dog cart and got everything but the wheels and the buns, which I won in the civil case two months later.\\
'''Shawn:''' Dude? ''[Shawn and Gus confer to one side]'' I think he gets it now.\\
'''Gus:''' I know. But the words are coming out of my mouth faster than I can think of them.\\
'''Shawn:''' Bring it home.\\
'''Gus:''' ''[To the owner]'' Now if you don't mind, before I start snapping evidence photos, I'm a little parched. Can you tell me which one of these fountains I'm ''allowed'' to use?\\
'''Owner''': That one. ''[Indicates the adult fountain]''\\
'''Gus''': ''DeathGlare''\\
'''Owner:''' ''[Frantic backtracking]'' I mean... you pick, sir.
* The Kung Fu fighting and stunts done by the Dragon Triad brothers.
* Carlton tapdancing. Also counts as a Funny as... well... it's Carlton tapdancing as well as the fact that in the middle of the routine he has an epiphany moment and says out loud (while surrounded by children), "I know who the Westside rapist is!"
** Earlier in the same episode, Gus confidently tells Shawn and Lassie that he loves tap-dancing, is proud of it, and does not care if they judge him for it.
** Also, Gus' own part in the tap-dancing show.
* In "Not Even Close... Encounters", Shawn and Gus' childhood friend Dennis comes to their rescue and manages to take out both of the villain's henchmen before Lassiter and Juliet arrive. It's somewhat undermined by him accidentally hitting himself in the face with the nunchuks he used.
* In "We'd Like To Thank The Academy", Shawn and Gus' police academy instructor overcomes his fears and [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands shoots the villain's gun out of his hand]] saving the hostage and the lives of Shawn and Gus.
* Shawn, tied to a chair, in a completely serious tone, "You kill him, I kill you."
* In "The Polarizing Express", an unnamed extra gets this with one line. The entire episode has been about the characters trying to bust the head of a gang on tax evasion, because they can't get him on anything else. At the end, Shawn jumps on a police car and gives an impassioned speech, with Gus, Lassie, and a one-off character joining in, until all the innocent bystanders are convinced to testify against him. The first person to agree was a young woman who was there with her daughter.

[[folder: Season 6]]
* In "Shawn Rescues Darth Vader", Shawn successfully blatantly lies about being a psychic on a lie detector. A Lie Detector that, considering they're in fictionland, always work perfectly.
* In "Last Night Gus", Shawn's speech about what it feels like to lose his SherlockScan and/or PsychicPowers that devolves into a deranged rant about convincing a child they've been given an ice cream cone. Which was apparently improvised by Creator/JamesRodayRodriguez.
** Which results in Lassie actually calling Shawn by his first name to calm him down.
** In the same episode, Gus is the one who takes out the KillerOfTheWeek... while he is too drugged to comprehend the chaos surrounding him.
* In "In for a Penny...", Juliet's father's plan to catch the thieves was essentially a reverse Trojan Horse. They arrested the getaway van driver, and Lassiter drove the van, with the heavily armed thieves inside, to the police station. They arrive and a SWAT team opens the back of the van to arrest them.
** Juliet's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to her con-man father after realizing, based on a single sentence, that he was the one who stole a collector coin and planted it on the man they were interrogating to save face. Though there was a bit of TearJerker too in how broken their relationship was.
* In one episode where Shawn and Gus are working undercover on a minor league team, Shawn accidentally causes the game to dissolve into a massive brawl. Gus (the mascot), runs out trying to break it up, but one of the players punches him. Gus responds by ''drop-kicking'' the guy. Keep in mind he's dressed in a giant bird costume the whole time.
** In the same episode, Gus as the mascot gets booed for his tap-dancing. Later, when he's firing a t-shirt cannon, a drunk heckler shouts "You can't dance for crap!" Gus doesn't miss a beat before shooting him with the cannon.
** When Shawn, Gus, Cal and Wade confront Neil (the killer of the episode), he flees while pointing a gun at them. Then Henry comes out of no where and tackles him to the ground. The best part is that Henry didn't even know that Neil was the killer - [[PapaWolf he tackled him because he was pointing the gun at Shawn]].
* At the end of the episode "Let's Doo-Wop It Again", Lassiter and his girlfriend, Marlowe, are attending a concert in the prison. Throughout the episode, they've been having all their romantic moments interrupted by a joyless guard shouting "no touching!" When the concert dissolves into a riot, Marlowe steals a quick kiss, then hits the guard over the head with a chair!
** In the same episode, Shawn apparently resists an overdose of morphine to take down the episode's killer, a trained security chief. The fact that [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Shawn's dad had refused to pay for pain medication and Shawn was only on glucose]] does not make it less awesome.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Season 7]]
* Shawn has several throughout the Season 7 premiere, starting with this:
-->'''Shawn''': There’s one thing I’d like to do before we eat, though... let's catch the [[PrecisionFStrike son of a bitch]] that shot my dad.
** After regaining his ability to talk, the first thing Henry does is calmly rip into his AbhorrentAdmirer for pretending to be his wife and annoying him. Shawn's reaction is to simply say "He's Back"
* In "Jules Takes A Luvvah", Jules is taken hostage by a killer who murders women he deems shallow. Juliet gets him to drop his guard [[HeroicSeductress by pretending to be in love with him]] and the disarms and incapacitates him before Shawn and Lassiter arrive.
* Jules vs. Serbian assassins in "Lassie Jerky". Jules wins. With a crossbow.
** In the same episode, when a hawk steals Shawn's camera and drops it, Lassiter catches it ''as it's falling''. Even the other characters are impressed.
** Ed Dixon taking out a Serbian by picking him up and crushing him to death ''while he has an ax in his back.'' Bonus points for surviving said ax injury.
** Kate gets points too for not only surviving a gunshot, but for continuing to record the entire fight even while she and Chavo are down. They both survive too.
* The ''entirety'' of "[[MusicalEpisode Psych The Musical]]". Seriously. [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic All of it]].
* Juliet's beatdown of her roommate's abusive ex-boyfriend in "Juliet Wears the Pantsuit".
* The ForcedIntoEvil circus performers get some good BigDamnHeroes moments with their acrobatic skills in the climax of "Cirque du Soul."
* In "Office Space", Gus stands up for a beleaguered assistant against his asshole boss. Then resigns in protest when the boss refuses to change. While it ends with the boss giving Gus a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, the assistant clearly appreciates his gesture.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Season 8]]
* "S.E.I.Z.E. the Day": Lassiter spends of this episode terrified of death after learning that he will be a father. When he confronts the killer, he tries to reason with the man by appealing to him as someone who also has children. When that doesn't work, Lassiter realizes his job is to make the world safe for his child from people like the killer and [[HesBack overcomes his fears]], subduing the killer
* "1967: A Psych Odyssey": the quick-cuts transition between Lassiter and Baxter (also played by Timothy Omundson) at the Limelighter Lounge.
* The entirety of "Cog Blocked" is one for Gus, as he takes a page from Shawn's playbook to investigate the death of a doppelganger.
* In the finale, Henry catching the killer and bringing his class along so they can watch.
** The fact that they were able to cast Creator/ValKilmer, [[Series/TheCosbyShow Deon Richmond]] and Creator/BillyZane as a nod to the {{Running Gag}}s/{{Shout Out}}s in the series finale.
** Chief Vick tells Shawn she already has a consultant in San Fran, [[ShoutOut he's apparently]] Series/{{Monk}} in the kitchen alphabetizing the cabinets.
** Shawn is acting extremely obnoxious towards someone involved in a murder case. Lassiter drags him outside, and immediately reveals that he figured out ''why'' Shawn is acting so insecure and obnoxious in less than a minute, and then gives him some legitimately useful advice on how to handle the situation.
--> '''Lassiter''': I was head detective for a reason, you know.
