Awesome: Ghostbusters
  • Ghostbusters Badass Boasts
    Venkman: We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!
    • Winston Zedemore, covered head to toe in toasted marshmallow, on top of a skyscraper bellowing "I love this town!"
    • "If someone asks you if you're a God you say YES!"
    • "Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown!"
  • The Power Walk sequence and these lines:
    Venkman: Sticks! [draws particle thrower]
    Guys: Pulled 'em!
    Venkman: Heat 'em up! [powers up]
    Guys: Smokin'!
    Venkman: Make 'em hard!
    Guys: Ready!
    • In a deleted scene, some random police officer gets one when Walter Peck thinks the Ghostbusters caused the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man to attack. So he tries to get a fleeing police officer to arrest them. The officer's response?
      "YOU Arrest Them!"
  • "Nobody steps on a church in my town!"
  • The Ghostbusters from the second movie bringing the Statue of Liberty to life with Mood Slime and The Power of Rock.
  • The police / National Guard escort that Venkman requests for the Ghostbusters in the first movie.
  • "Kitten, I think what I'm saying is that sometimes shit happens, someone has to deal with it, and who ya gonna call?"
    • Cue applause from the jury.
  • Louis in the second film graduates to full Badass by the end.
    Louis: I'm here with you guys!
    • After he helps smash Vigo's Beehive Barrier.
      Louis: I did it! I'm a Ghostbuster!
  • The ghosts get one for their escape in the first film, which is helped by "Magic" by Mick Smiley.
  • The IDW Comic series is filled with Awesome, not the least of which is the insane number of "easter eggs" slipped into each issue.
    • Issue 7 is almost an issue-long CMOA for Peter Venkman. Trapped inside his own mind by a possessor ghost, he gets pissed off when the ghost attempts to psychoanalyze him - namely theorizing that Peter's lack of fear of the ghost comes from being heartbroken over Dana. Peter points out that he has a Ph.D in psychology and proceeds to own the spook by figuring out its weakness.
