"Can I have a hug?"

Heartwarming moments in the Austin Powers series.


  • At the end of the second film, Scott is on the Jerry Springer Show again. Jerry says "We have a surprise for you." Frau comes out and reveals to Scott that he was her love child to Dr Evil. Scott says "But I thought I was a test tube baby." Frau answers "All lies. ALL LIES!" Scott says "I love you, Mom." Frau replies "I love you too, son."
    • Also Jerry's final thought to the audience is "No one can take your mojo."
  • Even the first time they're on Jerry Springer, the whole riot is started because the KKK guy insulted Scott, which set Dr. Evil off.
  • In the first film, Scott makes Doctor Evil upset that he doesn't want to follow him into evil and Evil tries to press the button for his chair to drop Scott into one of his death traps. Frau immediately whips his hand away with a riding crop before giving Scott a sweet smile and a supportive wink. Even more heartwarming given the reveal above.
  • In the third film, Scott - who's getting more and more evil throughout the film - has a present for his father. The present being?
    Dr. Evil: Are...those sharks with laser beams attached to their heads????
    • Also counts as a callback to the first film.
  • A small one from the first film: Austin and Vanessa (who's drunk) are having some fun in their hotel room in Las Vegas, and at one point, Vanessa suggests that she and Austin have sex—despite expressing an obvious interest in Vanessa earlier on, Austin turns her down, claiming that "it's not right."
    • This has become a Moment of Awesome as a meme proclaiming that even someone who Really Gets Around like Austin knows not to take advantage of someone who's drunk, something even James Bond couldn't lay claim to.
      "Yeah, to be honest, you are a bit rapey
      I like to swing, but Dr. No means no, baby."
    • The various goofy bits he does behind the couch are a bit too, since he's clearly doing it just to make her laugh and have fun. He may be one of the most oversexed men in the world, but Austin cares about her.
    • When Vanessa calls home, her mother Mrs. Kensington tells her that even she was tempted by Austin... but she loved her husband too much to cheat on him.
      • In turn, when Austin is reminiscing about Mrs. Kensington, it's made clear that he had real feelings for her, but he respected her and her marriage too much to act on them.
  • Austin, swinging single that he is, truly regrets that he shagged Alotta Fagina behind Vanessa's back, and vows that he'll become a one-woman man if she wants him to be.
  • Dr. Evil's strange and funny, yet somehow endearing adoration of Mini-Me.
    Dr. Evil: (mouthing silently) You complete me... I love you...
  • In "Goldmember", Austin accepting Dr. Evil ("Dougie") as his brother.
    Austin: He's not heavy...he's my brother, baby!
    • Followed by a group hug by the heroes (including Mini-Me).
  • Nigel Powers finally telling Austin that he's proud of him.
  • The entire gang (Austin, Foxy, Nigel Powers, Dr. Evil, and Mini-Me) attending the premier of their movie (to the tune of "What the World Needs Now") is surprisingly uplifting.
    • The reunion with Fat Bastard, now on good terms with Austin and Foxy and having finally lost weight.
