Awesome / Girl Meets World

• Lucas turning down Missy's offer of a date. Bonus points for thanking her for showing him some leg.
• Four words: "Well done, Mister Matthews."
• Topanga using her maternal authority to shut down Auggie's overbearing "girlfriend".
• Lucas and Smackle's opinions on beauty in "Girl Meets Smackle."
  • For that matter, Smackle's plan to pretend to be affected by her Unnecessary Makeover in order to gain the information she needed to win the debate.
• When Billy reveals he was the one who bullied Farkle and made him afraid to come to class, Lucas doesn't hesitate to shove him into a wall and loudly defend Farkle against Billy's insistence that he's not the "right" kind of friend for Lucas.
  • Also one for Maya who literally jumps on Lucas to stop him because she thinks it would make him like Billy
  • Harley gets in Billy's face and gives him a very short and on point "The Reason You Suck" Speech:
    Harley: I used to think like you. Now I'm holding a mop.
  • In the same episode, Lucas admits that Farkle wants to take over the world and that he wants to see what Farkle would do when he eventually succeeds... implying he thinks his nerdy friend will eventually end up in a position to actually try to take over the world and, more importantly, succeed.
• "Girl Meets Home for the Holidays". Alan and Amy show up, and the audience cheers. Joshua shows up, and they cheer even more. Shawn appears, and the crowd goes ballistic.
  Cory: I told you he was real!
  • Anytime anyone from the Boy Meets World cast makes a returning appearance.
• Shawn going into Papa Wolf mode and confronting Maya's mother in "Girl Meets Master Plan" (even if it was part of a plan by Cory and Riley).
• Cory and Topanga's wildly original and completely badass twist on Egg Sitting, as described on the show's main trope page. Must be seen to be believed.
• In "Girl Meets Demolition," after getting scammed by a conniving salesgirl into buying an ugly dress for $300 and all of her and Maya's clothing (not to mention Cory being conned into buying a $1200 outfit), Riley manages to cook up a plan that out-scams the salesgirl. And it works flawlessly.
  Maya: Not bad for a chump.
• In "Girl Meets the Secret of Life", Lucas ends up giving a surprisingly well-acted moment of Tranquil Fury/Badass Boasting to the local bully. Given the various criticisms on the general blandness of Lucas as a character and Peyton Meyer's acting in Season 1, this was a pleasant surprise.
• "Girl Meets the Secret of Life"
  • Ascended Extra Yogi's outburst in the beginning is definitely one, as most sitcoms refuse to acknowledge the background characters.
    Cory: In 1831, Belgium declared—
    Yogi: What is the secret of life?
    *Farkle glares at Yogi and everyone stares at Yogi in stunned, curious silence*
    Yogi: *sighs* I'm sorry, Mr. Farkle.
    Yogi stands up from his seat.
    Yogi: I know I'm not your daughter, but I too have value in this world. What is the secret of life?
    Cory, stunned, begins to smile.
  • After a whole episode of Riley wanting to know what Lucas did to get expelled from his old school, his old friend Zay continues what is apparently a habit of pissing off punks. Lucas' voice turns low and dangerous, and what follows is chilling. CMOA for his actor, Peyton Meyer, as well.
    Joey: Are you kidding me? I had a neck in my hand. I liked it. I miss it. You my new neck?
    Lucas: Are you the one? [Cory, Riley, and Maya show up] Because there's one in every school, isn't there? So, in this school, you're the—
    Joey: Yeah, it's me.
    Riley: Daddy, are you going to stop this?
    Cory: Not yet.
    Lucas: [cheerfully] I couldn't help notice your pointy boots. Back in Texas, we appreciate a nice, pointy boot. [kicks one down from where it's resting on the wall, steps on it, pins Joey's wrists, and starts speaking in a menacing tone] They can end a fight real quick. Unless somebody knows to put his heel on the soft part where all your toes are.
    Joey: Ow.
    Lucas: Now, I'm sure you'd like to throw a punch. Except I got both your wrists, and I'm as strong as a horse. I don't even work at it, I just am.
    Joey: The way I see it, all that matters is what happens after you let go.
    Lucas: Yeah. I know it'd be simpler to just start takin' shots at each other, but I'm gonna tell you something, and you really need to hear this. In the end, you're gonna be the one on the floor, and I'm gonna be the one who walks away.
• In "Girl Meets the New Teacher", the principal threatens to fire Cory for supporting the new English teacher, Harper Burgess. But the superintendent has to approve the decision. Is Cory worried? No, because Mr. Turner is the Superintendent. And he was the one who hired Cory is the first place.
  • And when the principal complains that he wanted Harper to teach To Kill a Mockingbird.
    Turner: [to Harper] Your mom or your dad?
    Harper: My dad.
    Yancy: What about him?
    Turner: He named her Harper Lee Burgess. I figure she'll get around to it.
  • All around, Yancy getting pwned.
• In "Girl Meets Yearbook", the whole episode looks like they're cruising in their Genre Savvy way towards breaking a "Be Yourself" message into "don't try to expand your horizons ever" and avert it when Farkle decides he can incorporate elements of the new persona he tried to take on into himself without necessarily taking on a whole new persona.
• Lucas nailing a one-handed basketball shot from the length of the court in "Girl Meets Cory and Topanga" should deserve a little credit.
• Lucas's bull ride in the "Girl Meets Texas" Special.
• Yet another Lucas one: his rant in "Girl Meets Belief" when he sarcastically says that Farkle's atheistic preaching has convinced him there's no God. Lucas being Lucas, it's the politest sarcastic rant ever, which if anything just makes it more effective.
• Ava's rant when she discovers that she and Auggie got the exact same participant trophy despite a vast difference between their skill levels. She takes hammy acting to a whole new, delectable level, and Topanga, who had been struggling to express a similar sentiment about participation awards, is quite pleased. Morphs into Heartwarming later on when we discover Ava has started training Auggie and his skills improving.
• Topanga was absolutely terrifying enough in the main show when she... ahem... got pushed a tad too far. Maya, in this show, is frightened of nothing. In Girl Meets Her Monster, we learn that's not true: Maya is fightened of nothing... except an angry Topanga because Topanga has officially become scarier than ever. Corey himsself describes her as a "hammer", and "Godzilla" and knows she's angry as "the sky turned black".
• Eric, now a senator, has a meeting with a lobbyist who's helping to destroy the environment, which is Eric's big cause. Jack Hunter shows up, they start reconnecting, and Eric doesn't even seem to realize Jack is the lobbyist, and loopy as Eric is, it seems like Jack is going to trick him into giving away the store. Turns out Eric knew exactly who was coming, because he's kept tabs on all his old friends over the years, and has no intention of giving an inch.
