History Awesome / Clarence

* "Breehn Ho". This episode might as well be called "How to Turn a Butt-Monkey into a Badass." It starts off with Breehn as the milquetoast and unimaginative fourth wheel, but, at seeing Sumo and Jeff in danger, makes a daring game move and saves them and ''immediately'' gets the hang of things, becoming a [[BadassInCharge decisive and kickass captain]]. The kicker; in a major subversion of a cliche, none of this is after hearing Jeff's, Clarence's, and Sumo's real thoughts on him, as he did this ''all'' on his own volition.

** Also from that episode: Nature Kate saving Joshua.

* Clarence and Jeff inadvertently beating [[{{Jerkass}} Belson]] and friends at Laser Tag with a laser pointer and a mini disco ball.
* Sumo's dad getting Clarence and crew off the hook for falling through Breehn's parents attic, by telling them their house has faulty floors and anyone who falls through and gets hurt can sue for damages.

* Mary and Dilliss's fight at the climax of "Hurricane Dilliss" when the former finally gets fed up with the latter controlling everything.
* In "Honk", after Clarence annoys the students with his bicycle horn, they bring their own horns to break Clarence's love of the horn. Instead? Clarence manages to start a light-hearted horn battle that eventually turns into an entire ''organized orchestra'' of air horns.

** If that wasn't awesome enough, after Jeff criticizes him for screwing up and he leaves in the rainstorm, at seeing his friends in danger after they try to rescue him, he immediately springs into action again and subverts another cliche, bypassing any sappy apology moments. And as if to finish his trifecta of subversions, when he's given the key to the treasure at the end, you're expecting him to break the key or do something that'll undo all his badassery... but ''none'' of that happens and they get the treasure.! It's safe to say that Breehn, after this episode, may be on his way to slowly becoming a [[AscendedExtra main character]].

* Belson's mother gets one in "Dust Buddies". After putting up with Belson refusing to clean up after himself, she starts playing the MMORPG Belson was playing with his team and proceeds to play intentionally badly, and the only way she'll stop is if he does his chores. This all comes to a head when Belson gets back online and realizes [[spoiler: she changed his character class to something less threatening, much to his embarrassment.]]

* Clarence's crowning moment of awesome has to be from the episode "Lil' Buddy". After essentially going through an "Emo" phase due to getting in trouble with his Lil' Buddy and missing recess, he snaps and ends up dressing up as said buddy. Going up against the school guard from blowing her whistle, Belson pants him from behind; causing the crowd to laugh. So does Clarence just run off or start crying or something? No! He PUNCHES Belson right in the face, with the crowd in shock afterwards. Given what the comments have to say about Belson (and over the series as a whole), he had it coming.

* ''Clarence'' has become one of the first ''all-ages-oriented'' cartoons and the first on Creator/CartoonNetwork (that's not on Creator/AdultSwim) to realistically depict same-sex couples: a male couple trades kisses on the cheek in "Neighborhood Grill" (though, originally, it was supposed to be a kiss on the lips and one of them bringing flowers), and "Jeff Wins" and "Chimney" establishes that Jeff has a lesbian couple for parents.
