Awesome / Action League NOW!

  • Despite being the show's designated Butt-Monkey and the least effective member of the Action League, Meltman surprisingly saves the day on more than one occasion.
    • In "In the Belly of the Beast", he is the only member of the Action League who doesn't get sucked up by The Mayor's vacuum cleaner, and he also ends up being the one who (inadvertently) destroys it by goading The Mayor into sucking up a roll of toilet paper, causing it to clog up the hose and malfunction.
    • He's the only one who sees through Louis D. Mayor and saves Thundergirl from having a safe dropped on her in "A Star is Torn". Thundergirl even admits that he's the real hero of the film.
    • He defeats Hodge Podge in "Tune-Up of Terror" all by himself, the only member of the League to do so.
    • He singlehandedly destroys The Mayor's Humongous Mecha in "In The Whine Of Fire".
    • The theatrical short reveals that he knows KISS. And he saves them through Epic Rocking.
    • In "The Wrath of Spotzilla", he saves everybody from the titular Spotzilla by having Thundergirl lower him onto his back so he can scratch it, calming him down.
    • In "Meltman At Large", he becomes a giant after drinking Bill the Lab Guy's super growth formula, and single-handedly manages to rescue a pair of children trapped in a tree.
  • The Flesh beating Smarty Pants at chess, even if it was an accident.
  • So, the Mayor has cloned the Action League, and is getting away with his evil plan because the tripled team is tripping all over themselves and can't get anything done. What's the solution? Make ten clones of The Chief, to get them back in order.
    All Chiefs: Quiet you nitwits!
    Chief #1: Get your rears in gear-
    Chief #2: -pronto!
    Chief #3: Or you're in more trouble than a barracuda at a bar mitzvah-
    Chief #4: -A ski jumper, at a skate show-
    Chief #5: -A jackrabbit, on the Jersey Turnpike!
    All Chiefs: NOW MOVE OUT!!
  • Bill un-brainwashing the citizens by calling in his personal friend, Lou Rawls, to unhypnotize them by singing his own subliminal song.
  • Stinky unintentionally crushing the sham judges in "And Justice for None!"
  • If you are a Pittsburgh resident of a certain age, it is really delightful to hear Jim Krenn use the exaggerated Yinzer accent that he regularly performed on the DVE Morning Show for various characters over the years, especially when the only other time you'd hear it on TV is when it's being regarded with incredulity (most late night talk shows with guests originally from Pittsburgh who have long ago buried their accents) or passed off as a different city's accent (Billy Gardell on Mike & Molly).
