Red Dwarf/Awesome

"Rimmer: What are you doing?
 * Kryten's debut episode. The kind but obsessed neat-freak robot is found still tending to a crew that has been dead for three million years because he has no other purpose. Rimmer immediately puts him to task performing endless menial tasks. Lister tries to get him to stop acting like a slave and think for himself, but to no avail. At the end, he is painting a portrait of Rimmer while he gloats to Lister... whereupon Kryten reveals that he has been painting a portrait of Rimmer on a toilet. Kryten proceeds to insult Rimmer, flip him off and leave on Lister's space bike.

Kryten: I, um, I think I'm... I'm rebelling.

Rimmer: Rebelling?

Kryten: I, I, I... I think that's what I'm doing.

Rimmer: You are rebelling.

Kryten: Yes.

Rimmer: What are you rebelling against?!

Kryten: Whaddaya got?"

"Rimmer: Have we got any chance of winning?
 * Rimmer, of all characters, has had a few:
 * His speech to The Inquisitor, which can basically be summed up as "Yeah, I'm a waste of space, but look what I had to work with."
 * In "Out of Time":

Kryten: Their craft is greatly upgraded. We have no chance whatsoever.

Rimmer: ...Then I say fight.

Kryten: ...Mr Rimmer?

Rimmer: Better dead than smeg!"

"THE SMEG IT IS!"
 * And Rimmer being the only person left, and deciding to be heroic and attempting to destroy the time drive. It's ambiguous if he does or not before their Starbug is blown up, but they survive anyway.
 * Deciding to  in season seven.
 * With the completely awesome reveal that
 * in the final episode.
 * Followed by the credits:

"Cat: I have given pleasure to the world because I have such a beautiful ass.
 * 'He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer, more reliable than a garden strimmer...'
 * In The Last Human Rimmer goes toe to toe with the Big Bad in a PAINT STRIPPER and lives up to the expectations of his which frees him from his many neuroses and allows him to become a hero of Ace Rimmer proportions...
 * In Back to Earth, when he Complete subversion when you consider that he's usually the one whose attempts to quote weird regulations are thwarted by someone more knowledgeable.
 * Aren't hard-light holograms nearly indestructible?
 * Oh, hush...
 * They still feel pain and humiliation.
 * They can even be killed,
 * Even better when you realise it's a Call Back to the Series III episode The Last Day where Rimmer remarks on how most people don't get time to realise a bus is about to kill them.
 * Lister's final confrontation with The Inquisitor.
 * The Cat justifying his existence to the inquisitor:

Inquisitor: Some might say that's a pretty shallow argument.

Cat: Some might say I'm a pretty shallow guy. But a shallow guy with a great ass!"

"Inquisitor: Well Kryten, justify yourself.
 * And it works.
 * Hell, every character's confrontation with the Inquisitor. Here's Kryten's, which unfortunately doesn't work:

KRYTEN: I'm not sure I can.

Inquisitor: But surely your life is replete with good works. There can be few individuals who have lived a more selfless life.

Kryten: But I am programmed to live unselfishly. And therefore, any good works I do come not out of fine motives but as a result of a series of binary commands I am compelled to obey.

Inquisitor: Well then, how can any mechanical justify himself?

Kryten: Perhaps only if he attempted to break his programming and conduct his life according to a set of values he arrived at independently.

Inquisitor: Your argument invites deletion.

Kryten: The rules are yours, not mine.

Inquisitor: Do you wish to be erased?

Kryten: Well, I am programmed not to wish for anything. I serve.

Inquisitor: In a human, this behavior might be considered stubb-orn.

Kryten: But I am not human, and neither are you. And it is not our place to judge them. I wonder why you do?

Inquisitor: Enough."

"Inquisitor: You've got brains, man, brains you never used.
 * And Lister's minimalist reponse:

Lister: Spin on it."

"Holly: We are talking jape of the decade. We are talking April, May, June, July and August Fool [...] The moral of the story is, appreciate what you've got because, basically, I'm fantastic."
 * In one appearance, Ace Rimmer escapes a death trap, surfs a crocodile from a plane while shooting Nazis, gets shot and only complains because "This was my best top, dammit!", saves the Distressed Damsel, escapes on a motorbike while shooting more Nazis and has sex with said Distressed Damsel before seeking first aid. What a guy.
 * "White Hole", where Lister plays interplanetary pool (that is pool with planets) and successfully pulls off a trick shot.
 * The end of "Gunmen of the Apocalypse". The crew finally reach the cockpit moments before crashing into a lava moon. Desperate attempts to pull away lead to them crashing into the lava. A few moments pass..."YEE HAAAAAW!" They emerge again, and fly away (segueing into to a special Western version of the Theme Song, at that).
 * "Gunmen" gets a few of these. The bit where Lister defends the drunken Sheriff Kryten using Brett Riverboat's knife skills (particularly the apple) and "The Riviera Kid"'s trick shot to prevent Kryten from escaping town both spring to mind.
 * Holly teaching the others a lesson about appreciating him more by making them think he's been replaced with a by-the-book drill sergeant of a computer AI who makes them work for every bit of food.

"Kryten: I knew something he didn't.
 * Emohawk: Polymorph II:  and   in the same episode. Especially when  decides to jump on the activated grenade, not even knowing that he would be completely safe.
 * "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast."
 * "What a Guy!"
 * Kryten disposing of his replacement Hudsen in "The Last Day" by convincing him Silicon Heaven doesn't exist in defiance of his programming. When Lister points out that he had defended its existence earlier int he episode ("But where would all the calculators go?"):

Lister: What?

Kryten: I knew I was lying. No Silicon Heaven? Preposterous! Why where would all the calculators go?"

"Rimmer: Not today, matey! (Groin Attack) Remember, only the good die young! (runs)
 * Kryten again, in Beyond a Joke when the rest of the crew prioritise a VR version of Pride and Prejudice over Kryten's elaborate anniversary meal.
 * Lister's scene in Holoship, where one of the genius holograms scouts Starbug. After being insulted, Lister proceeds to start mocking the guy and then threatens him for being a stuck up jackass. When the hologram reminds him he can't be hurt, Lister mentions they have a holowhip, and starts looking more and more deranged, eventually eating his cigarette as he squares up. The hologram flees. (The cigarette part wasn't scripted. To this day, actor Craig Charles admits he has no idea as to why he ate the cigarette.)
 * Kochanski tricking Epideme into leaving Lister's body.
 * Cat's dance number with the Blue Midget shuttles. Utterly pimp.
 * Kryten beating Legion, by knocking out the others so the entity couldn't use their minds against them, leaving only himself, which left him harmless and compelled to help the others.
 * Rimmer kicks Death in the nads.

Death: That's...never happened before."
