--> '''Mal''': Oh Mike's gone, I'm Mal and I let you fall. See you around '''SUCKER!'''

* In Get A Clue, Lindsey of all people is the one to solve the mystery. And when she is told she can share the reward with one of the others, instead of choosing Beth, her best friend, she chooses Duncan because she knows it will drive Courtney crazy.

* Harold gets another one in "Phobia Factor," even if he technically failed. His challenge was to defeat three trained ninjas (his worst fear), in the bathroom no less. While every other camper showed at least some level of fear in having to complete their challenges, Harold simply pulls out his nunchucks and starts twirling them, even managing to scare the ninjas. It gets negated somewhat when he knocks himself out a minute later with them, but hey, A for effort.

** Courtney's OffhandBackhand to Gwen when she tries to "explain".

* Harold calmly knocking ''Duncan'' out after he insults Leshawna in "Crouching Courtney Hidden Owen" (pictured).

** 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: [[SuperWheelchair Rocket-Powered Wheelchair]]

-->'''Chris:''' That is one tough ball to dodge!

-->'''Leshawna:''' Wooooo! Yes, baby! Woooooo! You lose, I win, you lose, I win! ''(embraces her new trailer)'' That's right, baby! Yeah!

--> '''Lindsay:''' I don't know what came over me. Oh wait, yes I do! Heather's a total-- ''(censor bleep)''

--> '''Gwen''': They were nothing but a bunch of [[AlphaBitch backstabbing, manipulative]], [[YourCheatingHeart two-timing]], fame-hungry, [[TheDitz dimwitted]], [[TheMentallyDisturbed certifiably insane]], [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} really weird]], [[AxCrazy psychotic]], [[NoSocialSkills redneck]], [[HairTriggerTemper overbearing]], [[ControlFreak goody-goody]], [[DeadpanSnarker know-it-all]], [[SurferDude party-obsessed]], jerks!

* The first song. Oh my gosh. ''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic The first song]],'' "Come Fly With Us"!

** This episode is regarded by many to be the best of all time.

** And there's also the DeathGlare she gives to Scott upon discovering his true colors.

* A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste: The tragically shortlived flawless teamwork of Team Dude with Jo giving orders and arranging the escape, Lightning putting his muscles to use to get the statue and defeat Ezekiel, and Brick running support by fetching the statue after Lightning loses it fighting Ezekiel.

* "Grand Chef Auto": Mike's epic BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind‎, where he's getting pounded by all four of his (acitve) alternate personalities for control of their body. He hears Zoey calling him and declares he has had enough, beating up all of his personalities without breaking a sweat, before finally declaring "This brain is under new management!". All thanks to the {{Power of Love}} for Zoey.
** Also, 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.

* 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.
* In ''Slap Slap Revolution,'' after Heather insults Owen, Gwen and Courtney get back at her during their solos, with Courtney singing that [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing she'll dance a jig when Heather is eliminated and Chris shoves her off the plane.]]

** 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 boredom, 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.

** The episode in general occurred in Area 51 where a chock a block of alien movies are referenced, especially the facehoggers from Franchise/Alien.

** All the contestants laughing in delight as Chris' boat sinks.

* A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste: The tragically shortlived flawless teamwork of Team Dude with Jo giving orders and arranging the escape plan, Lightning putting his muscles to use to get the statue and defeat Ezekiel, and Brick running support by fetching the statue after Lightning loses it fighting Ezekiel.

* Zoey going full ActionGirl in "Saving Private Leechball", being the one who defeats the most villains, specially Jo in a one-on-one duel, even doing BulletTime to dodge Jo's leeches and catch one in mid-air to use as ammo herself.

* Courtney spends some time pretending Duncan doesn't exist, when Duncan forces her to admit it. Instead of whining or giving him a big ReasonYouSuckSpeech , she just screams "So what?" and it's enough to scare Duncan.

* The first song. Oh my gosh. ''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic The first song]].''

** 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}}, ''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Her Real Name Isn't Blaineley.]]''

* Alejandro singing the show's first ever VillainSong, ''This Is How We Will End It''. And what a song it is.

** ''Versus,'' which features gigantic, god-like versions of Heather and Alejandro rising out of volcanoes and throwing lightning bolts at each other.

* Jo reaching the island...only to realize Dawn was first..''completely dry'' :
-->'''Jo:''' Woohoo! That's what I'm talking about! First one on the isla...(gasp to see Dawn first) How did you...You're not even wet!!!
-->'''Dawn:''' Hmmm? I use a shortcut!
** Not to mention how Dawn saves her team from the mutant beetle by returning her baby.
** And there's also the [[DeathGlare Death Glare]] she gave to Scott upon discovering his true colors.
* Any time B came up with a plan or put one of his inventions to work (Nevermind the fact that he's TheVoiceless and that Dawn would serve as the VoiceForTheVoiceless by telling her team his plan). As Sam himself said, "Woah! B, you should change your name to A+!"
* 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.
* BubbleBoy, midget Cameron experiences an adrenaline rush and bursts through the webbing (that Lightning, Jo and Brick couldn't break free of) and outright '''slaughters''' a mutant spider that was several times his size in "Finders Creepers"!!! Turns out the spider was Izzy in disguise, but considering she's capable of regularly beating up a ScaryBlackMan, that just makes it even more awesome.

** 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": Mike's epic BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind‎ where finally getting pounded by all five of his personalities, he hears Zoey calling him and declares he has had enough. He goes and [[OffhandBackhand Offhand Backhands]] Vito, beats up all of his personalities without breaking a swear, before finally declaring "This brain is under new management!", all thanks to the {{Power of Love}} for Zoey.

* Last episode: In the greatest [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Badass milestone development]] ever shown by Cameron, the little nerd builds a [[PoweredArmour high-tech super-powered]] [[InstantArmour self-assembling]] [[ComicBook/IronMan suit of armour]] and turns into [[FanNickname Iron Cam]], which he built [[ShoutOut IN A CAMP! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!]] And the fact that [[BadassNormal Lightning]] can stand him is also something notable, 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!
