10	!!! Season 1
11	* Gramma Alice navigating her way out of a demolition derby in "Gramma License".
12	* Tilly risking her life to save her baby birds from being crushed by a trash compactor in "Mama Bird".
13	* In "Cricket's Shoes", despite not approving of it, Bill fulfills Cricket's promise to run into the dog park covered in raw meat.
14	** In that same episode, Phoenix manages to stop the dogs from attacking the Greens.
15	* In "Cyberbullies", there's Cricket and his friends banning together to stand up to the Cyber Knights and use their kites to destroy their drones. Cricket was the only one of the group not afraid to face the Cyber Knights, and was also the only one whom they are unable to hack, because he and his family don't have any devices to begin with.
16	* Gloria knocking out Chip with one roundhouse kick in "Coffee Quest" (pictured above).
17	** For extra awesome, [[BeyondTheImpossible she managed to break a dental implant that Chip boasted was totally indestructible.]]
18	** Before that, [[WeCanRuleTogether Chip convinces Gloria to work with him at Wholesome Foods]], but she declines:
19	--->'''Gloria:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Sorry, Chip!]] I'm no city girl, '''I'm from the suburbs!'''
20	* In "Big Deal", Cricket realizes the true meaning of Thanksgiving and defeats Louis.
21	-->'''Louis:''' Don't you want this TV?!\
22	'''Cricket:''' Very much so! But I want my family ''SLIGHTLY '''MOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!!'''''
23	* Cricket jumping right in front of Gloria to prevent her from getting hit by the skunks' stink in "Skunked".
24	* "Harvest Dinner":
25	** Tilly knew Cricket and Gramma would switch the paprika, so she stuffs it in her pocket sometime offscreen.
26	** Cricket and Gramma realizing the meaning of Bill's job and defeating the mean rooster.
27	* "Hurty Tooth": Dr. Enamel somehow [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome pulls Cricket's tooth out some time offscreen]] during his RousingSpeech.
28	-->'''Cricket:''' Whaaa?! Dang, you ''are'' good.\
29	'''Dr. Enamel:''' Eh, so I hear.
30
31	!! Season 2
32	* "Elevator Action": The family coming out in defense of Gloria to prevent her car (with her moving stuff) from being towed. It's both Awesome and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming]].
33	-->'''Cricket:''' For glory! And Gloria!
34	** Even better is the fact that they’re all working as a team to accomplish it. Bill keeps the tow truck driver distracted while Tilly sits atop the car’s roof and chants, Gramma subtly lets the air out of one of his tires, and finally, Cricket ''dunks a Splishee over his head'' to send him packing.
35	* "Bad Influencer", Cricket, ''of all characters'', was the only one in the episode who did not fall for Itchaboi and his insane words, as he is able to see right through him and tell he's a scam.
36	* "Green Christmas": Cricket's SelflessWish to get Tilly back on the nice list.
37	* In "Reckoning Ball" as the Greens are threatened by Chip's wrecking ball, Keys, OF ALL PEOPLE, comes out of nowhere to protect them and vowed to arrest Chip for attempting murder.
38	* "Impopstar":
39	** The Greens breaking into the mannequin warehouse to rescue Cricket from Amaryllis.
40	** Tilly, being the only one who knows Zillon is not Cricket, found out he's a fake by testing him with the word "toot".
41	* "Shark Objects":
42	** Gramma's BigDamnHeroes moment, coming down from out of the sky with seagulls and taking the lifeguard out to sea, saving Cricket's life.
43	--->'''Gramma:''' Hey, pretzel thief! You messed with the wrong Gramma, for I am ''THE BIRD QUEEN!''
44	** After rescuing Cricket, Nancy sternly gives herself a talking-to about Cricket's responsibility and the fact his shark prank nearly got him killed, causing Cricket to break down in tears and promise never to do the prank again.
45	* "Quiet Please":
46	** Bill willingly sacrificing himself to give Cricket the gift of reading, while simultaneously costing him his own.
47	** Also Tilly managing to stay quiet the whole time, and was thus the only Green who was not threatened by the librarian.
48	** The fact that not just one scene, not two, but ''[[WholePlotReference THE WHOLE EPISODE]]'' is an entire G-rated parody of ''Film/AQuietPlace''! The librarians have very good hearing and kick out anyone who makes one sound, they move on all fours, Tilly suggests sign language, the only major talking scenes are at the water fountain and in the bathroom, Gramma's hearing aide is the librarian's main weakness, and especially the infamous sacrifice scene; Bill lets himself get caught the same exact way Lee did, complete with signing "I love you" in return!
49	* "Chipwrecked":
50	** By this episode, Cricket has stopped taking Chip seriously and begins treating him like a joke; although the end of the episode is dark for Chip biting right back at him for it, it marks the turning point he fully considers Chip a true threat to the family and it is seen to him never to mock Chip again.
51	** Cricket's family discovering he only made up "Bring Your Family To Work Day" to coax them into doing his job, and they call him out for it.
52	** Gloria being the only one who sees right through Cricket's hoax.
53	** Cricket's hoax appears to be much more improved and easier to fall for than the other times he scammed in the past, because of the advice he took from John in "Flimflammed". Basically he now knows what to ''say'' to the people he's scamming; compare the time he scammed in "Wishing Well" to this scam here and you'll see the big difference.
54	* "Chipocalypse Now":
55	** It is shown that Chip's plot to run the Greens out of town will fail even if he does destroy their house, as Bill is looking up various cheap city apartments in the family's price range to move to should they fail. This shows even if their house does get destroyed, the Greens will not leave the city no matter what. And even if he does destroy ''that'' apartment, chances are they'll just move to another.
56	** Cricket showing Chip his determination to stop him:
57	--->'''Cricket:''' Listen up, Chip! If I can find a way to [[CallBack launch a chicken into space]], I can find a way to stop you!
58	** Gloria, after being reminded of what the Greens have done for her, manages to take down a bouncer with her taekwondo skills (she's a purple belt). And when she gets fired, she takes the bouncer with her.
59	** Vasquez mowing down Chip's goons singlehandedly.
60	--->'''Chip:''' Can we ''focus'' on taking down the human death machine, please?
61	** Tilly's RousingSpeech to Bill, which gets broadcast through all of Big City.
62	** When Bill throws chicken feed at the goons, it at first seems to be an EpicFail. But then the chickens arrive...
63	** The city-goers standing up for the Greens.
64	** Chip getting banned for good -- not just from Wholesome Foods, but from ''all of Big City.'' He's finally gotten a proper comeuppance for trying to ruin a beloved family's legacy.
65	** Cricket's final standoff against Chip goes off to NightmareFuel lengths at first, but the instant Cricket realizes a FatalFlaw when he tries to "[[NeverSayDie get rid of all the Greens at once]]", he immediately goes from "OhCrap" to a determined smile as he sees the helicopter's skids get caught on some phone lines, stopping it just ''inches away'' from Cricket's face.
66	--->'''Cricket:''' Come and get me, '''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner CHICKEN!!!]]'''
67	** Earlier, Cricket manages to escape a FamilyUnfriendlyDeath from the helicopter blades by [[HighDiveEscape leaping right off the roof]], grabbing on to the grand opening banner which gives way due to his weight, before landing safely in [[PapaWolf Bill]]'s arms.
68	** Chip's final defeat.
69	--->'''Chip:''' ''(as his tooth chips again)'' No...\
70	'''Cricket:''' Well, Chip, looks like ''you're'' the one who doesn't belong in Big City.\
71	'''Chip:''' ''(accidentally lets go of the yoke)'' Why you -- !! ''(realizes)'' Oh...\
72	'''Cricket:''' [[IronicEcho Bingo...]]''[[IronicEcho bango!]]''\
73	''(The power lines sling Chip's helicopter far away into the sky to parts unknown.)''\
74	'''Cricket:''' [[BondOneLiner And]] ''[[BondOneLiner that's]]'' [[CallBack how you launch a chicken into space.]]
75	* "Bleeped":
76	** The kids instantly stop their ClusterBleepBomb once Bill goes "full-dad" on them. Sure it's shocking, but seeing how Bill does this assertively shows cussing so much is a ''bad idea.''
77	** At the end of the choir concert, Cricket is about to "drop the B-bomb", but upon remembering Bill's words to him and asking himself if that's the person he wants to be, he ultimately decides against it.
