---

Battle for Dream Island

• In BFDI 2, Flower threatens to crush the Announcer with her Announcer crusher if she gets eliminated. His response? a nonchalant "Well too bad for me, because [...] you Flower, are out with 4 votes".
• In BFDI 25, Firey saving Leafy from being executed at the last minute in Return of the Hang Glider.

Battle for Dream Island Again

• The introduction of Yoyle City in BFDIA 5e, with its sweeping shots of the hauntingly pristine abandoned city that large, showcasing the various skyscrapers and attractions and Freesmart driving their supervan through the streets to reach the mountain. In that same episode, Freesmart and WOAH Bunch climb up to the summit of Yoyle Mountain via an obstacle course up the extremely tall spire, rendered in 3D with the characters being 2D there.
• Ice Cube saves Freesmart from getting a bad sleep in BFDIA 6 by rewiring the headphones Needle put onto her to make soothing music, then grabbing some balloons from the Supervan so that her team floats up in the air, escaping from Evil Leafy; this earned Freesmart second place causing WOAH Bunch to lose.
• BFDIA 7 has TV being eliminated despite not being a contestant because of how much of a Dreadful Musician he is. When being launched to the Tiny Loser Chamber however he steals the key out of spite to lock the TLC from the inside so it can't be used anymore.
• In BFDIA 8, Pencil and Ruby get knocked off the Eiffel Tower by Team No-Name and along with them the paint shooter. What do Ice Cube and Book do? Use the pink paint dropped into the dish that Tennis Ball created by swinging the Eiffel Tower until it dips itself into the paint, which they repeat until time is up, resulting in Freesmart being in first place for the contest.
  • Gelatin goes up to Puffball Speaker Box and gives her a pair of shades that make purple things yellow and yellow things purple to save Team No-Name from going up for elimination.
• In BFDIA 9, Tennis-Ball crafts a Lazer in his team's compactor from some of its parts inside. He uses this to engrave the skeletal formula of acetylsalicylic acid on the moon so that Golf-Ball would see it and say its name to be teleported from the tree she was stuck on into the compactor chamber whilst also getting Tennis-Ball out.
  • On that topic, Gelatin displays a pretty nice Lazer-using feat when he realizes he doesn't have enough team members to compete, since they've all died or are MIA. The feat he does in question? Take Book's Lazer-shooter and recover Fries and Tennis Ball using the ray guns lasers to operate the HPRC. Which is currently 2763 miles away.
• In BFDIA 10, Ice Cube uses her "beautiful face" to convince almost everyone to join her team, excluding Golf-Ball and Fries (the former got roped in because of Tennis-Ball's Swap Token) and become "The Beautiful Face Devotion Institute".
  • Pencil manages to convince a massive crowd of recommended characters by performing a chant and later making it a dubstep remix.
  • Pineapple and Barbecue Sauce evacuate all the potential customers of The Beautiful Face Devotion Institute by throwing the volume up button from Gelatin's headphones at the fire alarm.
  • Fries manages to win the contest as a one-object team by using the expired Prebaked Ice-Cream in the steakhouse and saying that he had ice cream despite being outnumbered by the other team. The result was Fries serving 200 customers and The Beautiful Face Devotion Institute serving 0.
    • A bit more minor, but due to BFDIA 11 rearranging the teams, Fries is technically the only contestant so far to ever be on a team that finished with a 100% win rate, and being the only person on the team to boot.
• BFDIA 11:
  • Despite having no limbs and no face anymore, Pin manages to help Coiny guess the right door the last key is hidden in with the one thing she has left: her sweaty ooze to indicate witch doors are bad and which ones are good.
  • Coiny facing off against LSLD by himself. He uses Pencil to shatter Ruby, then dulls Pencil out by using her to write in Book, and even though Book manages to get the key out of Coiny's hand, Coiny pushes Book out of the way once the latter unlocks one of Flower's petals, making W.O.A.H. Bunch win and LSLD lose.

Battle for BFDI/BFB

• In BFB 1, Bleh had to go through the desert, the world's largest oven and frickin' MOLTEN LAVA to get X's basket. Sure, everyone except Saw and Dora die, but they made it!
• Donut motivating his teammates in Why Would You Do This on a Swingset.
  Donut: I stand by my brother Gelatin here. We are the greatest team the world has put together! Just look how far we've come. We've faced enormous challenges. I'm not going to lie; things have been hard for every single one of us. But when I look at my teammates, I see hope. I see strength. I see ingenuity! Firey Jr., there's no one quite like you! (Firey Jr. gasps) We... can do this.
  (The whole team cheers)
  Naily: Team Ice Cube, transform!
  • It gets even better when you remember that when Donut was first introduced, he was a Jerkass.
• From the same episode, Taco freeing herself from the jawbreaker on her own.
• Golf Ball and her team multiplying Four by zero (Donut).
  • Speaking of Donut, the fact that he became the host of the show. And throughout the episodes he's been the host, he's done a pretty good job being the host.
• Bell breaking the Losers' basket to give them the twinkle.
• Fanny's What the Hell, Hero? to Loser is actually pretty amusing, to say the least.
• Woody rips Foldy in half in BFB 7. This is his first kill by the way.
• A Better Name Than That and Bleh working together while trapped on the moon, as well as the Data Void Robot Flower enters in BFB 7, definitely counts.
• In Questions Answered, Lollipop bullies Barf Bag once again, what does Barf Bag do to respond?
  Barf Bag: Shut it, Lolli- POOP! (Both give each other bone-chilling Death Glares)
  • What makes it better is that Barf Bag and Lollipop stop interacting with each other from that moment on.
• In Get to the Top in 500 Steps, when Pie is falling of the stairs, Black Hole swoops her up as she falls, and when she gets back up? She immediately presses the button, winning in the contest.
  • Bubble giving Match a very well-deserved "The Reason You Suck" Speech for abusing her and and having no remorse. When Match apologizes, Bubble even tells her that she can't forgive her that quickly. Talk about Grew a Spine for Bubble!
• All the underground teams' successful escapes from the lava in BFB 14. Particularly noteworthy is Cake, Naily, and Coiny's sacrifice at the end just so Woody, someone on a completely different team than any of them, could win the challenge for his team.
  • In addition, BEEP, the team that has been losing the most throughout the entire season and is outnumbered by all other teams, manages to beat out the undefeated Bleh team (Granted, Bleh was not in a position to do much)
• After spending the WHOLE series being treated horribly by everyone for no reason, Spongy snaps back and leaves his teammates to die in the lava flow instead of helping them. The Dog Bites Back and Beware the Nice Ones indeed!
• The titular escape from The Escape from Four. ALL OF IT.
• Anything Two does with their powers. Anything.
  • They turn a bathroom stall into a hotel.
  • They turn the sun into a spiked ball and beats Four with it.
  • Gets 40 of Four's contestants to switch to their show.
• Announcer’s return in BFB 28. He not only takes complete control back, but gives a brutal "Reason You Suck" Speech to Four and X for allowing TPOT to be created, and gets the former to merge into the ground when trying to get rid of him.
• X finally mastering his recovery powers.
• Flower saving BFB in BFB 29 by sacrificing the $50,000 the Announcer gave her that was intended for her fashion line.
• X and the Have Cots (excluding Leafy but including Loser) pursuing Four all the way from the Desert to the Pillary Ruins and even the SUN in BFB 30
• The entirety of the post-split BFB cast throwing a real party for Four in BFB 30.
  • In addition to that, Flower giving Gelatin the BFB because even though she won the season, Gelatin won the season too by making strong friendships.
• Firey and Leafy finally making up with each other and bury the hatchet over the whole "Dream Island" incident in BFB 30. They become friends for life and sail away together to find a new "Dream Island" for just the two of them and have their own adventures. After everything the two have been through, they finally get their happy ending. Can double as a tearjerker and/or heartwarming moment.

The Power of Two

• TPOT 2
  • The way Pen gets Black Hole - his former teammate from Death P.A.C.T - to stop sucking up Are You Okay's blocks is both this and funny. He climbs up the stack and faux-dramatically cries "Oh no! If Black Hole doesn't stop, I'm going to die. He would be CAUSING my DEATH!". Black Hole stops dead in his tracks and calls out Pen, who has a smug smile on his face.
  Black Hole: You...I can't believe you...death is some kind of game to you, isn't it. Well you know what? I don't need to kill you for you to be dead to me.
  • Eraser picks on Teardrop and knocks down her stack. She vaporizes him.
• TPOT 4:
  • Puffball is forbidden from participating with her team after she made a dangerous roller coaster for the last challenge. Lightning is left behind as well, and after a brief struggle, she steals his bracelet to go to where his team is (along with Ice Cube) and gives Death Pact Again an ultimatum. Either they let Ice Cube die (which goes against their philosophy), or they let the Funny Plant die (which will make them lose). The others even admit that she is pretty clever.
  • Lightning isn't a slouch either during the above-mentioned struggle, repeatedly dodging and shocking Puffball every time she tries to grab the bracelet. Puffball has to take him by surprise (using Bell and her rollercoaster) in order to knock the bracelet out of his hands.
• The challenge of TPOT 6 is to make some sort of dish for Two. In order to complete this challenge The Strongest Team On Earth decide, on Snowball's insistence, to steal some of Four and X's food. They succeed at this task and are rewarded for their efforts with the highest score of any of the dishes (Not counting the "Two Sandwich" joke that Team8s did).
• In TPOT 7, both Golfball and Puffball are forbidden to participate in their team. Despite the fact they despise each other, they work together anyways to sabotage another team. They both go down into Golfball's underground factory to generate the part needed to fix the rollercoaster, but since Just Not was trying to fix the rollercoaster, they booby trap that part and trade it with the Dream Island gates, sabotaging Just Not's attempts and earning their team the victory.
  • Lightning's elimination. He calls out his teammates for their Skewed Priorities getting him and Remote eliminated, and when Tree and Black Hole defend their actions saying it's for the greater good, Lightning loses it. He zaps Two in anger before flying high into the sky and unleashing multiple thunderbolts, destroying various landmarks around Goiky.
• In TPOT 8, Needle singlehandedly manages to take out two members of Just Not - she manages to beat Bomby in a kicking fight while the two are dangling from a balance beam, and when Book clings on to her legs, she proceeds to wallop the latter by swinging her body like a pendulum, causing her to fall in the water as well.
  • The only reason Needle doesn't take out all of Just Not is because of the intervention of the now-limbed Yellow Face, who beats her pretty easily by engaging her in a slap fight before biting her arm to make her fall off the Balance Beam.
• In TPOT, Teardrop in general qualifies as this. She joins in the second episode and forms her own team, Teardrop. She doesn't have any other teammates, yet she's still capable of winning challenges all by herself.
  • In TPOT 2, she singlehandedly takes on Death P.A.C.T Again, killing Fanny and Lighting without much issue. When Marker gets hold of her gun, she quickly manages to get it back and kill him. The only reason why she isn't able to kill Black Hole is because the laser goes through him (being a Black Hole and all that).
  • In TPOT 5, she literally becomes the Goiky Canal in order to retrieve a plate.
  • In TPOT 7, she fills up the Goiky Canal by running up a zoom ramp, and taking control over a cloud to create rain.
• TPOT 9 has many moments from various characters:
  • Teardrop performs a Heroic Sacrifice to save everyone from the zombies, even if it means that she is instantly eliminated. She does this by getting into Barf Bag's innards, killing herself, and allowing there to be enough barf to cure the zombies.
  • Bomby successfully performs a Taking You with Me on Pillow by lighting his fuse, even if that action cost Just Not the challenge. The best part is that even Pillow is taken aback.
  Pillow: Hello Bomby. Should we do this the easy way [presents Nickel's corpse] or the other easy way [presents half of Price Tag's corpse]?
  Bomby: The even easier way. I'm going to take you down on my terms.
  Pillow: Huh?
  Bomby: [grinning] Oh no! I just lit my fuse!
  Pillow: Wait! Don't -
  [explosion]
  • After spending the episode worrying about how she can manage without Coiny and witnessing Needle get crushed to death, Pin gets the confidence she needs to escape from the underground cavern, using a zombified Coiny to chip her way out.
  • Even while zombified, Two is able to resist the urge to bite and convert other characters into zombies. Instead of killing Gaty, Golf Ball, and Tennis Ball when the opportunity arises, he sends them to the elimination zone.
