** Noah taking over leadership of his team after Alejandro goes missing in "I See London", even dropping his usual sarcasm and laziness in favor of actually working. Then in the final moments of the episode he brushes off his elimination boredly, puts on his parachute, calmly warns his teammates about Alejandro, and then becomes the first ''World Tour'' contestant to ever take the Drop Of Shame properly.

ImprobableAimingSkills.
* Mike is shown in "Evil Dread" to have a better handle on his personalities when Manitoba comes out. He is able to focus his skills on the challenge, keep Manitoba's sexism under control, and compliment Zoey all the while.
** [[AwesomeAussie Manitoba]] himself is extremely kickass. When he comes out in this episode, the first thing he does is spin his arms rapidly, dig through the beach, and find a puzzle piece in a few seconds. He spends the rest of the episode using his tracking skills to find more pieces, and stops Scott from cheating.

[[folder:Total Drama Island]]
* Harold's beatboxing leading the Killer Bass to their second straight come-from-behind win in "Not Quite Famous".
* "Dodgebrawl":
** Cody being outnumbered, then proceeding to go CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass on the opposite team.
** Owen losing it after Izzy gets hit and taking out Katie, Sadie, Bridgette, and Geoff in [[CurbStompBattle eight seconds flat.]]
** Harold's epic dodging skills and him finally catching the ball. Even Noah, who paid zero attention to the game, was impressed.
* "Paintball Deer Hunter":
** Beth gets herself one of these in the episode when she gets fed up with Heather's unreasonable demands after Heather ordered her to steal a bag of chips from the mess hall without getting spotted by ScaryBlackMan Chef Hatchet instead of focusing on the actual challenge. Beth succeeds in evading Chef Hatchet, but begins to wonder why she put her life on the line for someone she never liked. Realizing Heather had been taking advantage of her, Beth eats the chips by herself, opens paintball fire on Heather with extreme prejudice and then breaks off the alliance.
** Owen (hunter) spent half the challenge chasing DJ (deer) down with a paint ball gun. When he finally ran out of ammo DJ responded by [[BewareTheNiceOnes tossing his ass off a cliff.]]
* Lindsay, after spending the entire season under Heather's heel, finally knocks her off her high horse in "That's Off the Chain", with an impressive on-the-fly, curse-riddled tirade.
-->'''Lindsay:''' You really are mean! And all that bad stuff people say about you is true, like how you're a two-faced, backstabbing, lying little -
-->''(censor bleep with a censored [[FlippingTheBird finger]], shocked reactions from Chef, Owen, DJ, and Heather, and a smile from Gwen)''
-->'''Lindsay:''' I always told them they were wrong. I stood up for you because I thought we were [=BFFs!=] but they're ''right!'' You really are a two-faced, backstabbing, lying little -
-->''(censor bleep with a shocked Duncan, a shocked duck, and a smiling Chris)''
--> And guess what? I don't want to be [=BFFs=] anymore. I'd rather spend the day staring at Owen's butt than shopping with you! and P.S. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Your shoes are tacky!]]
-->''(everyone laughs)''
-->'''Gwen:''' Yeah! You tell her!
** Later, in the confessional cam:
--> '''Lindsay:''' I don't know what came over me. Oh wait, yes I do! Heather's a total - ''(censor bleep)''
* "Hook, Line, and Screamer":
** Gwen kicking a serial killer in the jaw, repeatedly, bad enough that the serial killer says that he was treated better in prison. Hardcore.
** Duncan proving himself GenreSavvy by letting each of the other campers leave the group one by one so he can be the Final Guy, before successfully taking on Chef Hatchet in a friggin' chainsaw fight on the docks.
** Leshawna attempting to confront the "killer". She still ran away, but even then, it was pretty brave of her to try and stand up to him. The fact that she laughed it off afterward just adds to it.
* The entirety of "I Triple Dog Dare You!", especially when Lindsey's dare is the same threat Heather had made towards her; which results in Heather getting eliminated and losing her hair. In just one episode, Heather is forced to pay for all the cruelty she inflicted on the others.
* The alternate ending of "The Very Last Episode, Really!" after Owen knocks Gwen down to get to the brownies at the finish line Gwen has a HeroicBSOD until Trent's words of encouragement and feelings for her inspire her not give up and when it looked like Owen won he missed the finish line allowing Gwen to make a big comeback, surprising everyone and win the final challenge.
* The end of the season; After twenty-six episodes of abuse, humiliation, and injuries, Duncan, Owen and Geoff take Chris and toss him into the lake, just to show what they think of him. Chef Hatchet approves.
-->'''Chef''': I've been wanting to do ''that'' all summer! How do ya like that, pretty boy!? Huh?!
-->'''Geoff''': Oh, Chef...
-->'''Owen''': ''(snickers)'' You're next, dude!

[[folder:Total Drama Action]]
* Harold calmly knocking ''Duncan'' out after he insults Leshawna in "Crouching Courtney Hidden Owen".
* Harold saving the entire cast from drowning when Chris' stunt goes [[GoneHorriblyWrong horribly wrong]] in "Masters of Disasters".
* Despite Courtney's [[CharacterDerailment derailment]] this season, her managing to do a series of backflips through deadly lasers when everyone else was either stuck or couldn't do it, followed by her doing a high flying kung fu kick to the glass the shuts off the lasers was very badass indeed. Everyone, including [[BadAss Duncan]] agreed.
* Duncan, after taking half a season's worth of DomesticAbuse from Courtney, [[LaserGuidedKarma finally decides he's had enough and votes her off.]]
* When Harold is about to leave the game Duncan insults him one last time, only for Harold to pantse him at the last second.
* Beth giving up an opportunity to win to save [[JerkAss Duncan]] from being crushed.
* "Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Reunion Special" is like one big CrowningMomentOfAwesome that goes on for the entire episode. All twenty-two contestants, people who have spent every single season fighting, backstabbing and insulting each other, [[MisfitMobilizationMoment join forces]] in order to bring down the reality show cast that Chris plans to replace them with ''just'' so that they can keep being famous instead of going back to their normal lives. As Chris put it:
--> "Their dream is to claw their way back to fame no matter what it takes! Cheating! Shameless self promotion! ''Sabotage!'' I LOVE THOSE KIDS!"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Total Drama World Tour]]
* The first song. Oh my gosh. ''[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome The first song]].''
* Duncan telling Chris off in the first episode and quitting rather than degrading himself by doing a season of musical numbers. He's dragged back into the game several episodes later, but still.
* Tyler saving his teammates' lives by hanging on to the edge of a cliff using his insanely strong fingers. And after everyone climbs up to safety, he pulls the sled back up with a single tug, eliciting a cheer from his team.
* Geoff and Bridgette repairing their relationship in the first aftermath of the season is in my opinion a moment of heartwarming, funny, and awesome all in one. In the sense of awesome the two managed to piss Blaineley off enough for her to go berserk on stage.
* "I See London...":
** Noah taking over leadership of his team after Alejandro goes missing in "I See London", even dropping his usual sarcasm and laziness in favor of actually working. Then in the final moments of the episode he brushes off his elimination boredly, puts on his parachute, calmly warns his teammates about Alejandro, and then becomes the first ''World Tour'' contestant to ever take the Drop Of Shame properly.
** Owen and Noah doubling back to the torture chamber to pick up Tyler, despite knowing that time was of the essence and losing teammates didn't cause score-deductions. Compare and contrast the members of Team Amazon, who barely notice their dwindling headcount.
** Owen going all PapaBear on a ''serial killer'', "[[BerserkButton No one knocks my little buddy in the corner]]!", of course, it descends right into CrowningMomentOfFunny in the next few seconds, but it was still awesome.
* "Greece's Pieces":
** Owen using his belly to bounce Cody out of the ring.
** Sierra attacking Courtney for insulting Cody, and the DoubleKnockout that ensued.
** Cody knocking out Duncan.
** Courtney's OffhandBackhand to Gwen when she tries to "explain".
** Cody is told to throw the challenge so that his team can vote off Gwen. Instead of obeying, Cody proceeds to fly into the air and win against Tyler. It gets even better when you realize he defied Courtney, who treated him like shit the entire episode.
* "The EX-Files":
** Courtney kicking Duncan in the kiwis.
** Tyler relentlessly trying to break down Owen's cell wall to save him, even after everyone tells him to give up.
--> "NEVER! LEAVE! A! MAN! BEHIND!"
** Duncan successfully blackmailing [[ManipulativeBastard arch manipulator]] Alejandro into guaranteeing Duncan won't be voted off.
* Owen using himself as the last cannonball to sink Team Amazon's ship, thus securing victory for his team. There's even a freeze frame of each member of Team Amazon going OhCrap a second before he makes contact.
* "Aftermath Aftermayhem":
** Noah's ridiculously fast laser-dodging in is a considered a cross between this and CrowningMomentOfFunny.
** Geoff, after having put up with Blaineley for two-and-a-half aftermaths in a row, finally reaches his breaking point and lets loose with an ''epic'' {{The Villain Sucks Song}}, ''[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Her Real Name Isn't Blaineley.]]''
* Alejandro has an ''epic'' {{Take That Scrappy}} moment towards [[CreatorsPet Owen]] in "Niagara Brawls". After Owen is eliminated and gets stuck in the door on the way out of the plane, Alejandro gets angry and kicks him out. [[CreatorsPet No one]] [[AvertedTrope objects]].
* [[VillainousBreakdown Chris yelling]] at Sierra and eliminating her on the spot in "Awww, Drumheller" after she blew up millions of dollars worth of equipment just by being TooDumbToLive.
** Alternatively, Sierra blowing up the plane and causing Chris' meltdown in the first place, there's no denying that he had that coming for quite a while.
* Alejandro singing the show's first ever VillainSong, ''This Is How We Will End It''. And what a song it is.
* There's the time Harold out-surfs Courtney. It backfires, but it's still cool given how she always tries to sell herself as TheAce.
* "Planes, Trains, Hot Air Mobiles":
** Although Heather and Alejandro's methods to get to Mexico are pretty neat, Cody's has to take the cake here. While Heather caught a train and Alejandro stowed away in the shipping truck, Cody and Sierra put together a hot air balloon from the random debris in the airplane wreckage. Now while this is pretty cool all by itself, the awesome happens later on. After their balloon gets destroyed by power lines, [[HeroicBSOD Cody feels he can no longer continue, and gives up.]] Not willing to let him quit now that he's come this far, Sierra finds what they need, [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan gives him the pep talk that he needs,]] and they catch up with the others using one of the craziest methods ever seen in this show: [[CrazyAwesome Rocket-Powered Wheelchair]]
** ''I'm Gonna Make It''. The first half features Sierra and Cody singing a duet as she manoeuvres their balloon around obstacles while Alejando and Heather do a ''literal'' MasochismTango atop a moving train. The second half is done in a sort of TravelMontage mode that displays the final three's movements across a map, complete with Heather waving mockingly whenever she passes an opponent.
* "Hawaiian Punch":
** Heather managing to trick both Cody and Alejandro during the tie-breaker, [[HandicappedBadass while tied to a pole]]. It's even cooler when you remember that earlier in the episode Owen had commented that she wouldn't be able to do any harm while tied up.
** ''Versus,'' which features gigantic, god-like versions of Heather and Alejandro rising out of volcanoes and throwing lightning bolts at each other.
** Cody's repetition of "Al" just to press Alejandro's hidden {{Berserk Button}}.
** [[{{HumiliationConga}} Although it was harsh,]] Heather tricking Alejandro into giving up the prize was pretty awesome, providing a sweet sense of poetic justice in regards to the girls he'd tricked (especially Bridgette) and reminding us just why Heather is the most formidable competitor.
** Everyone (with the exception of Courtney) cheering for Heather when she finally defeated Alejandro, even sworn enemies like Gwen and Leshawna.
** All the contestants laughing in delight as Chris' boat sinks.

[[folder:Total Drama: Revenge of the Island]]
* Any time B came up with a plan (Nevermind the fact that he's TheVoiceless).
* Cameron winning the second episode's challenge for his team (albeit accidentally).
* Zoey kicking two giant mutant beavers in the [[GroinAttack groin.]]
* Pretty much every time Mike brings [[HiddenBadass Svetlana]] out.
* Cameron outright DESTROYING a mutant spider that was several times his size in "Finders Creepers". Turns out the spider was Izzy in disguise, but that just makes it even more awesome.
* Mike laying a big [[CurbStompBattle mental smackdown]] on his [[SplitPersonality multiple personalities]], including a sweet {{Offhand Backhand}} on Vito, via the {{Power of Love}} for Zoey.
* "Up, Up And Away In My Pitiful Balloon":
** Chris and Chef in a zeppelin.
** Heather making a cameo, during which she kicks Chris and Chef off said zeppelin and attempts to escape with the 1,000,000 dollars.
** Zoey get revenge for Mike on Scott with [[RuleOfCool FLYING, FIRE-BREATHING MUTANT GOATS]] (one of which she rides).
** Cameron, after being bullied once again by Jo, backstabs her with a hidden explosive...
* Zoey giving up her DamselInDistress role and [[TookALevelInBadass taking about ten levels in badass]] in "Eat, Puke and Be Wary".
** In the same episode, Chris gets stuck in the septic tank, and the interns use this as an opportunity to get back at him for all the hell he put all his interns through for 4 seasons
* In "Grand Chef Auto", Duncan cameos against his will and promptly breaks free. In the end, he blows up Chris' latest monument to himself, Mount Chrismore. Even Chef is impressed.
* Last episode: Cameron turns into IronMan, building his super-suit IN A CAMP! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS! And the fact that [[BadassNormal Lightning]] can stand him is also something mentionable, though his awesomeness is downplayed by his [[CombatPragmatist dirty tricks]]. Not to mention that Chris sends every monster that appeared and it becomes a full final battle!
