History Awesome / Becker

* In a episode where Becker goes to a BeleagueredBureaucrat - played by Henry Gibson - to angrily complain about the shut down of a residential care facility, as all the former patients are now hanging around his office, he complains about how the local government treats him. However, the local government official [[https://youtu.be/sQ1pGV68iIA?t=14m43s gives this awesome comeback]].

-->'''Becker''': You took a private conversation, you imbued it with racial overtones, all [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad under the guise of political correctness]]. You know something, that concept was meant to make us more sensitive to each other but instead all you did was use it to perpetuate some ugly stereotypes!

-->'''Goler''': One more question Miss Gilbert, is it true you're a prostitute?\\

'''Goler''': What's the matter? You're ashamed to admit you're a prostitute?\\

'''Judge Reinhold''': You keep this up I will find you in contempt of court!\\

* When Becker is sued for malpractice by a patient who suffered a heart attack while exercising based on the Doctor's advice, his angry tirade on the stand against the plaintiff (even admitting that he's glad the heart attack happened because Vinny is finally taking care of himself), his lawyer and ''the judge'' actually get the jury on his side and wins him the case - although not without a stint in jail for contempt of court.

-->You're not listening! I can't help! ''Nobody'' can help. That facility is not going to reopen, and I'll tell you why: there is no money! There's no money because the federal government cut taxes, which is all anybody seems to care about anymore. That means less money for the state, which means less money for the city, which means we had to cut services, which means fewer cops, fewer firemen, bad air, bad water and crappy schools which will turn out another generation of voters too stupid and greedy to care about anything else besides cutting taxes! ''So don't you come in here and tell me to fix your problem'', because there's not a DAMN THING I CAN DO ABOUT IT!... [[JadeColoredGlasses Where did that come from]]?

* In Season 1, Becker gets smeared by a journalist in the diner who misconstrues his comments to Jake and to an Asian taxi driver who had just crashed into him as racist. Despite Margaret telling him to let it blow over, when Becker hears Tetzloff attacking him again on the radio, he goes to the station to confront him. He not only chews out Tetzloff for being a dick and insults both the readers who believed his column and the station's listeners ([[JerkassHasAPoint which the DJ actually agrees with]]), but also turns the tables on Tetzloff when he points out that he made his own politically correct assumption about where Becker's neighbour comes from.

* In Season 1, Becker goes to confront a columnist over Becker's apparently "political incorrectness" (or the doctor's being an apparent racist) at a radio station during a live show. He not only chews out the columnist for being a dick and the people that actually believed in the columnist's article, but also the columnist is [[HoistByHisOwnPetard hoisted by his own "political incorrectness" petard]] when his own "politically incorrect" feelings surface.
