Haruhi Suzumiya/Awesome

"Kyon: Tell him to suck it."
 * Yuki Nagato vs. Ryoko Asakura. Particularly the moment when Asakura has just, and Nagato's only response? "Commencing nullification of data link." Check and mate.
 * Let's also point out that no more than a few seconds before,
 * More entertainingly, right after the fight, she slumps to the ground. Kyon, panicked, begins to talk about getting an ambulance. Yuki comments "No need. My body did not suffer significant damage." So, you know. This means  This isn't significant damage. Holy shit.
 * Okay, you know what? Yuki's so stoic and starts out so one-dimensional that ANYTHING SHE SAYS is a CMOA. Especially the ones that are funny.
 * Yuki's actions during the "Mikuru Beam" incident in Sigh are also pretty epic:
 * The climax of the Melancholy saga, a.k.a. Kyon saves the dimensions by . Not only was the tension built up perfectly, but the animation and music made the scene even more awesome. A Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
 * Haruhi's stand-in performance with ENOZ at the high school's culture festival. In one shining moment, beyond all possibility, beyond all doubt, she was awesome.
 * As was Yuki's playing lead guitar. Who knew she could thrash?
 * Obviously, Slash and Buckethead didn't, and yet they're real-life Guitar Heroes.
 * Aya Hirano repeats this for the live concert.
 * The Cave Cricket battle, which showed off Koizumi's skills in battle as well as more Nagato fight scenes. Too bad it was short, but the BGM to the fight made it all worthwhile.
 * In the fourth book, which was adapted as The Movie, Kyon Also a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
 * The official translation gives Kyon a line that makes this even better. ("Him" refers to, obviously.)


 * The subtler bit just after, where he tells it to allow Yuki to act more human, and she thanks him, is also a good candidate for the moment of the book.
 * In fact, in one audio special, Kyon blackmails Haruhi, with the threat of calling her "Haru-Haru" if she forces Mikuru to dress in humiliatingly revealing clothes at a concert... Haruhi's reaction was priceless and must be heard to be believed. Just goes to show, whether you are an omniscient alien or an obliviously omnipotent schoolgirl, Kyon knows how to blackmail. (At 2:47 of this clip)
 * Kyon's also has a Big Damn Heroes moment when
 * Yuki gets another one, at least in the eyes of all the Playful Hackers out there, when she hacks Day of Sagittarius III's game code in the middle of the game to turn off the Computer Society's cheats. Moreover, on Kyon's instructions, she does it without any superpowers, just her native intelligence and Rapid-Fire Typing.
 * A fan with C programming experience took screencaps of Yuki hacking the game, every frame that the MS-DOS command line windows appeared. . Yeah, these guys don't half-ass this stuff.
 * Itsuki Koizumi gets such a scene at the end of the novel story Snow Mountain Syndrome, when he declares to Kyon that should his Organization ever come into conflict with them, he will betray his superiors to side with the SOS Brigade. Really now, several of the scenes in the later novel stories reinforce the concept of the SOS Brigade as True Companions.
 * Some lines from Psycho-Asakura are simply terrifying and awesome:
 * "You don't wanna die? You don't want me to kill you? :("
 * "[...] because whether you care about it or not, I really want you to die! ^_^"
 * "Does it hurt? I'm sure it does. Better enjoy it while it lasts, because that'll probably be the last sensation you'll ever feel. ^_^"
 * In the 7th novel, Yuki answering to her past self why she didn't synchronize: " "
 * Nobody's mentioned Haruhi hearing the Computer Society President ranting about a "DUEL!" from a distance and delivering her famous Dynamic Entry? That was pretty damn awesome as well as hilarious.
 * When Endless Eight... well, ended. In the anime, anyway. Although the loop got pretty torturous, if they hadn't done it that many times then Kyon's solution would have been more of a What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome? moment, but I nearly cheered out loud. That and the epilogue also border on Crowning Moment of Heartwarming... somehow.
 * It borders on that for one very important reason...Yuki.
 * In the "Lone Island Syndrome" Kyon gets one by utterly demolishing Koizumi's story, demonstrating beyond any doubt that just because he's the only normal person in the group does not mean he can be treated like a child.
 * Bonus points for his very first argument being "Haruhi wouldn't really wish for anyone to die."
 * Kyon's monologue about wanting to be with the SOS Brigade in the movie. The best part of it, in a movie full of awesome parts.
 * "Of course."
 * Also in The Movie, the moment counts. The music track that accompanies the scene is called, fittingly,, and is the most epic part of an amazing soundtrack.
 * Also in The Movie: Mikuru punching Kyon in the face counts as her CMoA. Normally I sympathise strongly with Kyon and he was clearly in a desperate situation, but was still a terrible idea. I even caught myself thinking "could someone please punch him out?", thinking that Tsuruya would do it. And then Mikuru showed us that even the resident Moe-blob has her pride!
 * And also in The Movie: When Kyon finally finds Haruhi outside the Koyouken High and uses his trump card on her.  Haruhi faints. She just couldn't stand the awesome.
 * At the English-language premiers of the film that line has elicited standing ovations from the audience.
 * extremely awesome. The movie has done a nice job portraying sheer abject terror that spreads across Kyon's face as the camera focuses on
 * In the 10th book, there's
 * At the climax of Astonishment, Kyon
 * In the same book, around the same time, Itsuki
