History Awesome / Shortpacked

* Mike's proposal to Amber, which he put together by [[BatmanGambit switching the door placards of Amber and Jacob's apartment a year prior and stealing Amber's mother's cell phone so that she'd go to Jacob's apartment looking for it and Jacob, who was in the thralls of his sex addiction, would seduce her]], so that he could [[MagnificentBastard record the sounds of their lovemaking and edit them into a marriage proposal.]] Which actually backfires, since he had intended to it to drive Amber to leave him.

** Faz's line just before the showdown. This troper didn't even know one could talk dirty to a girl in SpockSpeak...

--->'''Robin:''' Th'n that was purty kickass. [[FamousLastWords Tell my Tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, th' ill deeds along wit' th' good. And let me be judged 'cordingly.]] Though, if y' embellished it wit' a hot threesome 'r somethin', that'd be cool.

* The Robin vs Legion of Something fight. Which peaked when Robin shoved [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=1196 Faz's head up Sarah Palin's ass! ]]

* Ronald Reagan. Stopping a break-in with Patriotism. https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/ratchet
** [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=173 Just his whole attitude]] towards a gun-wielding robber, as well. (Note that the [[PatrioticFervor Patriotism]] bit happens ''after'' this part.)

-->'''UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan:''' [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=378 Son]], I have come to believe that the conservative way of life, what I stood for, is about ''personal responsibility''. A restoration of the American precept that ''each individual'' is responsible for ''his'' actions. It shouldn't be about ''sides''.

** And her speech to Robin in strip 895: "[[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=895 The Way Things Should Be]]".
* "Leslie is the Cookie Monster, and I! Am! The Friggin'! Cookies! [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=1455 Hawk your substandard wares elsewhere]]."

-->'''Galasso:''' [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=174 Never presume a man does not have ninjas at his disposal.]]

* "[[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=631 I slept with Ethan!]] I rode him like a Harley over a bad stretch of road. And you never, ''ever'' will."
* [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=1044 Amazi-girl™ is immune to criticism.]]
* [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=1550 Try harder.]]

* Lucy demonstrates Starfire's influence on her to be a [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=1736 strong feminine figure]] while still being a nice girl.

* The story where Les gets kidnapped. After beating her location out of Faz, Amber tries to convince her that it's too dangerous and she should give up. Robin's response? [[LetsGetDangerous Let's]] [[BigDamnHeroes do]] [[AssKickingPose this]] [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=1195 poop.]] [[ImprobableWeaponUser She then picks up a toy foam sword and proceeds to own three douches in short order, get Walter Mondale to quit, and after a beat down by Sarah Palin, [[HeroicSecondWind gets back up]] and gives her a colonoscopy Faz-styled]]. All in the setting of the [[AbandonedWarehouse Shortpacked store which is dark because it's pre-opening hours.]]

* [[StrawVulcan Straw Vulcans]], take note: [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=980 this]] is how a ''real'' scientist handles emotions.
* Dude, [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=660 go Amber]]! She tells off Faz, beats up Ninja Rick, and ''yells at Reagan''.

* The last two panels of [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=631 this]] strip are definitely another win for Amber.
** [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=633 The follow-up is even better.]]
* The actual phrase "Crowning Moment of Awesome" is used in [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=687 this strip]]. The walls of fiction and reality are breaking down! I don't know what to believe any more!
* [[JerkAss Mike,]] [[RefugeInAudacity MIKE,]] has an EvenEvilHasStandards moment with the aptly named [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=1398 Asshole Guy]]. Yeah he's a lot crueler than anybody else in the comic, but at least he cops to it.

* The Robin vs Legion of Something fight. Which peaked when [[spoiler:Robin shoved [[http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=1196 Faz's head up Sarah Palin's ass!]] ]]

* Amber finally calls out her dad for everything he's done to her. [[spoiler: He was in a coffin at the time, but it's the thought that counts.]]

* Happened [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome off-screen]], but Robin [[spoiler: managed to defeat Head Alien II. How? By cutting him up into sixteen pieces with a laser cannon and chucking the pieces in several different alternate dimensions. Why? [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Because he hurt Leslie.]]]]
* [[spoiler: When Rachel shows up to pull the Alternate Universe's Drama Tag, she effortlessly defeats the alternate versions of Galasso, Ninja Rick, and Malaya. It was so awesome that Leslie and Alternate Amber were turned on by it. And several of the fans were apparently turned into lesbians. Even the men.]]

*** Actually, [[spoiler:not burning down the store made sense because then Galasso would have collected the insurance and rebuilt the store.]] Although, Sydney didn't think of that so it was fridge logic at the time.

* Ninja Rick gets two. Both times he's given a dramatic entrance leaping from behind the person introducing him, sword drawn. One is when he's used to beat the crap out of someone holding up the store:
-->'''Galasso:''' [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2006/comic/book-2-pulls-the-drama-tag/06-the-drama-tag/presume/ Never presume a man does not have ninjas at his disposal.]]
** It's worth noting that he actually puts up a decent fight, even stopping a bullet with his sword at one point. We never find out what took him out of the fight after Robin gets shot.

-->'''Faz:''' --[[IronicEcho that I do not have ninjas at my disposal?]]
