-->'''Lilith: Sup' Handsome?

'''Jack:''' SHUT THE HELL UP, TASSITER! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis SHUT. THE HELL. UP!]] My ex-girlfriend and her two [=BFFs=] just tried to kill me, and the LAST thing I need right now is your senile ass WHINING IN MY EAR! If I get ONE more message from you that isn't, "Attaboy Jack", or, "I'm sending you a big bag of money", I'm gonna reach through my ECHO communicator and [[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon GOUGE YOUR EYES OUT WITH MY PINKIES!]] ARE WE CLEAR?!\\

* It sort of [[NiceJobBreakingItHero did more harm than good]] (it's a little hard to tell whether using the Eridian device or having it punched into him finally did in Jack's mind), but Lilith punching Jack in the face with all the knowledge of the universe was still pretty badass.

* Moxxi's BatmanGambit to [[spoiler:destroy the Eye of the Destroyer]] using [[spoiler:an ''enormous'' singularity.]] Doubles as SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome.

* A moment from the end-game, where a Lost Legion soldier surrenders to the Vault Hunters and Jack orders them to kill him. Each character has a different response if you refuse to kill him, but of particular note is the Doppelganger's. [[spoiler: Over the course of the game, "Jack" grows very uncomfortable with a lot of the real Jack's decisions, and his refusal to kill the soldier is accompanied with an ice cold:]]
--> '''"Jack":''' [[spoiler: I'm not you, Jack.]]

** Even better? His outburst prompts [[spoiler: [[TokenGoodTeammate Athena]] and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Aurelia]] to actually [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments apologize to him]].]]

** Aurelia in general. Wilhelm and Nisha are just as amoral and bloodthirsty as Jack is becoming, while the other three are all bound by various obligations (Athena's code of professionalism, Timothy's contract as Jack's body double, and Claptrap's programming), but Aurelia only signed up to relieve her boredom, letting her call Jack out in ways that the others can't or won't. By the final stretch of the game, she is even openly insulting him. It's also quite clear that the only reason she is even sticking around by that point is because of [[spoiler: Moxxi, Lilith and Roland's attempt to kill Jack]] came just as [[ItsPersonal close to killing her as well.]]

* You know those little [[EarWorm Ear Worms]]? Those little songs that get stuck in your head and will never leave? No matter how hard you try? Well, one of the missions in the Claptastic Voyage lets you kill one. And it feels so good. [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Until you realize the song is stuck in YOUR head now.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUbYdjO7tE4 "What Makes a Good Man?"]] Once again, we get some kickass music by TheHeavy in the credits, which also happens to be quite fitting for the whole tale as well as the accompanying epilogue slideshow.

* A moment from the end-game, where a Lost Legion soldier surrenders to the Vault Hunters and Jack orders them to kill him. Each character has a different response if you refuse to kill him, but of particular note is the Doppelgangers. [[spoiler: Over the course of the game, "Jack" grows very uncomfortable with a lot of the real Jack's decisions, and his refusal to kill the soldier is accompanied with an ice cold:]]

** In many ways, the Doppelganger becomes the sort of person Jack believed himself to be at the start of the game.

* The mission where you actually assault and clear out the Hub of Helios, as well as the battle on the Lunar Launching Station, are arguably some of the best levels in the game.

* Claptrap snapping at the Pre-Sequel Vault Hunters after one too many insults. Sure, Claptrap's annoying and the others are fun to play as, but they've also verbally abused Claptrap throughout their entire time together.

--> '''Aurelia:''' Right. That’s it. I had my fun, Jack, so I shall leave you with this one final piece of wisdom that your plasticine face will surely ignore: Kill yourself. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Darling, I’m evil. Let’s not kid ourselves,]] but you. You’re just something else entirely. You’re far better off opening the throat beneath that ludicrously soul-patched face than suffer the bloody karma that I imagine the universe has in store for you. And with that, I shall bid you adieu. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Additionally, your breath smells like farts.]]

** Aurelia in general. While to other Vault-hunters simply don't care about Jack's growing madness (or too professional/scared in Athena's/Timothy's case), Aurelia makes it clear quite early what she thinks about him and his antics. By the final stretch of the game, she is even openly insulting him. It's also quite clear that the only reason she is even sticking around by that point is because of [[spoiler: Moxxi, Lilith and Roland's attempt to kill jack]] came just as [[ItsPersonal close to killing her as well.]]

** Even the fight itself is awesome. The token ButtMonkey of the series who has been repeatedly tossed aside, insulted, and ignored, is shown his actual programming whihc is so powerful, it has the ability to turn itself into a gigantic mecha and a space station complete with laser batteries and missiles.
