4->''"Pesky bee!"''
5-->-- '''Duck''', "Love"
6Despite being mostly a HorrorComedy, Don't Hug Me I'm Scared has shown time and time again to have several moments of awesome.
7!!The web series
8* The fact that the three puppets go through such sudden, psychological horror and still [[ActionSurvivor survive]]. Well, maybe not Duck, but he still comes pretty damn close.
9* The clock singing "Let's go on a journey..." [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic in a rich opera voice]]. The whole space-like area during that part is pretty cool-looking too.
10** Then it becomes hilarious as his voice breaks just as he finishes singing.
11--->'''Tony:''' ''Let's go on a journey, a journey through time, the time is changing all the time, it's time to go to TIE-IME!''
12*** Red Guy calmly talking (well, singing) right back to the clock, telling him frankly that he and his friends aren't in the mood. Since "Time" was the first sequel and debuted nearly three years after the first went viral, those familiar with the original may have found it particularly satisfying after how passive the puppets are in the first.
13---->'''Red Guy:''' ''But we don't really want to. / We're going to miss our show.''
14* "Love":
15** The montage of Yellow Guy riding on a cloud with Shrignold definitely counts as this. The background visuals are not only goofy but also awe-striking too.
16** As soon as the caterpillar... ''thing'' hatches from the boiled egg after the Yellow Guy's run-in with Shrignold's cult, Duck ''squashes it''.
17--->'''Duck:''' Pesky bee!
18* In the fourth video, Red Guy finally gets fed up with his questions not being answered and smacks the Computer. It goes badly for him, but the effort was good.
19* In DHMIS 5, the Bird Guy recognizes that something is wrong and fights back for once, slapping the camera aside and shouting that he doesn't want to do this anymore. [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome Too bad this gets him killed.]]
20* In DHMIS 6, Yellow Guy flat out ''refuses'' to go along with anything the creepy lamp tells him and loudly demands "NO MORE SONGS!" Later, when Tony makes a brief reappearance, Yellow Guy is quick to call him out.
21-->'''Tony:''' Stuff from the past went into a mystery!\
22'''Yellow Guy:''' (''both frightened and a little ticked off'') You made me die!\
23'''Tony:''' But look a--\
24'''Colin:''' Computer!
25** Red Guy unplugging the machine set up to torture Yellow Guy, seemingly in defiance of [[BigBad Roy]].
26*** Also notice that, while the final scene appears to show that the puppets will have to repeat everything all over again, after he unplugs the machine, the puppets' colours change to their favourite colours from the first episode, and the room is cleared of all the various creepy and/or dangerous things that it was filled with in the first video. This implies that, though they'll still have to deal with the teachers, they now have gained the ability to be what they want to be rather than having to go along with whatever the teacher says. Further supporting this, the calendar finally moves forward a day to June 20th. The puppets have finally become able to move forward in life.
27!!The TV series
28* In "Jobs", Duck manages to break out of the brainwashing of [[LotusEaterMachine Bits & Parts Limited]] when he realizes that his friends have gone through RapidAging and tosses Yellow Guy's retirement card into the waste disposal to break the other two out as well.
29* While not heroic, it's impressive that Duck manages to annoy the Coffin to the point where it's willing to reverse its lesson in "Death".
30** Yellow Guy managing to actually KILL a teacher is pretty impressive too.
31* At the end of "Family", we get a BigDamnHeroes moment from ''[[BigBad Roy]]'', of all characters, when he [[PapaWolf releases Yellow Guy from the family's assimilation]] and [[ReformedButNotTamed brutally slaughters them offscreen]]. Assuming it was good intentions, seems that EvenEvilHasStandards after all. It should be noted that while he callously shoves Yellow Guy to the side to get at the family and their dinner, the tone of his "yum yum yum" chant changes over time from simply hungry to sounding ''pissed off''. It's entirely possible that he hates the idea of [[HypocriticalHeartwarming anyone but him]] psychologically tormenting his son and claiming him as their "family". It also sets him firmly right back near the top of the pecking order as while he doesn't [[RealityWarper run the show anymore]], he doesn't need to since he can still pretty much butcher whoever he wants ''whenever he wants''.
32* "Friendship":
33** This episode perhaps marks the first time that the trio have ever had the upper hand on one of the Teachers, belittling Warren from the moment he appears and relentlessly mocking him.
34** Duck gets another one when he skewers a monstrous friendship-hungry Warren out of Yellow Guy's brain just in time to get his mind back to reality, then proceeds to toss him into the trash with a BondOneLiner that doubles as a fitting ContinuityNod.
35--->'''Duck:''' Pesky bee!
