How I Met Your Mother/Awesome

"Ted: "Come on. Come on! COME ON!"
 * At the end of Season 2, Barney is stood outside a wedding talking to Ted. He starts to say the word, "Legen-"
 * "Wait for it."
 * Ted's two minute date with Stella in Ten Sessions, a Oner.
 * When Lily and Marshall are spending the summer apart, Marshall gets incredibly depressed. Robin offers to try and cheer him up but Barney scoffs, asking what she was going to do, "rent chick-flicks and eat pints of Haagen-Daaz ice cream?" Cut to Robin at the shooting gallery with a handgun bigger than both her hands put together firing off a clip to show Marshall how it's done.
 * Barney winning that game in Atlantic City.
 * Marshall decoding the rules to the game, even though Barney was the only player who spoke English, in time to give Barney the winning move.
 * Another one with Barney, although this is more a Crowning Moment for Marshall. During one episode in Season Two, Marshall and Barney make a bet, called a "slap bet", in which the winner gets to slap the loser. Due to complications, a deal is made that Marshall gets to slap Barney five times, at any time he wants. Later in the season, during the episode where Barney puts on a ridiculously long, torturously bad play for his friends. As he starts to tap dance, Marshall jumps up and slaps Barney in the face so hard, Barney is sent to the ground. Marshall then turns around, holds up two fingers and says "Two."
 * Heck every slap turns into one of these. With "Slapsgiving" Marshall plans to deliver the next one to Barney on, well Thanksgiving. But when Lily thinks he's ruining the holiday, she uses her position as slap bet commissioner to ban him. But then Barney goes a little bit far and taunts him incessantly and as the countdown (yes, Marshall set up a coundown) almost winds down, Lily loudly shouts "Marshall you can slap him!". And boy does he, and then he sings about it.
 * Barney has taught Chinese gambling pals to say "Legen - dary"
 * Ted putting the whole gang's (and Punchy's) lives on track in the span of 3 minutes in "False Positive" definitely counts.
 * For context, earlier that episode, Robin had been mocking Ted as a horrible best man, because he couldn't talk a groom out of making a stupid mistake out of fear. Of course, he does that for everyone in his epic rant, and she is so impressed that she lampshades his awesomeness and asks him to be her best man.
 * Way back in Season 2's 'Showdown', Barney goes on 'The Price is Right' and is able to effortlessly gauge the exact price to the last cent of every item on the show including the exact price of both his and his opponent's final showcase.
 * And then gives all of his prizes to Lily and Marshall as wedding presents.
 * At the end of "The Scorpion and the Toad", Lily asks Marshall if she can do anything to make it up to him for leaving him in grave depression over the summer. At his request, she goes to Mac Laren's and slaughters Barney with a drink, claiming he gave her chlamydia. She then returns in a hat and does it again, scaring off his dates of twins.
 * In the 100th episode 'Girls versus Suits', we get a musical number with back-up dancers and the main cast all dressed in suits. All sung by Barney. Doubles as a Crowning Music of Awesome.
 * The ENTIRETY of "Subway Wars". That may go down as the most epic episode of anything, ever.
 * The end of "The Possimpible", in which Barney reveals that he singlehandedly managed to land Robin a job by finishing her video resume by himself and sending it to every station in the city, therby preventing her from being deported back to Canada for being unemployed.
 * Not to mention the entirety of Barney's own video resume, which goes is impressive
 * Double Subversion with Marshall standing up to his boss and quitting at the end of "The Chain of Screaming"-first Marshall just explodes at him. Then his boss says "they don't have to pay him a severance package", leaving Marshall to worry about how he's going to tell Lily. But then she tells him that he did do the right thing regardless.
 * "'I'm cuddly, bitch, deal with it.'"
 * That entire episode is a giant Crowning Moment of Awesome for Ted. For context - Ted gets a girl's number at the bar, and Barney and Marshall tell him that he should wait 3 days before calling because 'that's the rule'. Ted figures that texting doesn't count, and soon he ends up having rather naughty and deep text message conversations with this girl all night.
 * The scuba-diver.
 * Ted's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Barney in "The Goat".
 * Also, Marshall's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Barney in "The Chain Of Screaming", when he says that Barney's protecting himself from his shitty life and past by living in a delusional dreamworld of denial where he is incapable of feeling anything or caring about his actions, and that if he (Marshall) keeps working at this job of his, "I'll turn out just like you."
 * The ending of "Three days of Snow".
 * Ted making it rain.

[It starts raining.]

Barney: Come on!"

"Future Ted: And kids, as we all know... they did."
 * Season 6, Hopeless intro.
 * The Slutty Pumpkin has Ted wanting to go to a party in the hopes of meeting a girl he saw there years earlier. Barney however has other ideas, announcing his arrival with Danger Zone and walking in as Val Kilmer in Top Gun.
 * "I always knew this day would come."
 * For context: several years ago, Lily tried to learn karate but got the snot beaten out of her by a kindergartner. In the present day, she shows up at the karate place and challenges the kindergartner -- now in junior high -- to a match, prompting him to say this line.
 * Ted taking a stand and flat out saying, "Anyone not in class tomorrow gets an F."
 * Barney and Robin's spontaneous dance number in "The Best Man" may be a Big Lipped Alligator Moment of Awesome.
 * Barney's various automatic pick-up schemes in "The Stinson Missle Crisis" are insane and glorious.
 * The very end of "Field Trip" right after Marshall's realization "...We're gonna save the planet...":

"Ted: Yes, it is."
 * Lily destroying Barney's Batman Gambit to grope her breasts by leaping to her feet and flashing him in the middle of the incredibly complex "shrimp in the pocket" hibachi grilling move he bet her he could pull off. Also doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny, with the shrimp tumbling past Barney's gawking face, AND the Japanese chef sailing into the shot to get a eyeful, AND Barney's subsequent epic Big No putting layers of icing on the cake.
 * In the episode that Ted gets into a fight with a big guy in an alley, he goes down pretty quickly, but when he comes to he sees that the other guy is unconscious too. Future Ted's narration simply tells his kids never to cross uncle Marshall.
 * While often overlooked, Ted gets a moment when he punches Doug, the crazy, violent bartender because he brought up Ted being left at the altar. He gets another one for learning that fights are really stupid.
 * The end of "Symphony of Illumination". That is all.


 * The ending scene of "The Leap" -
 * In Change of Heart Lily slaps Barney several times. Pretty standard. After finding out about him lying to sleep with Nora however she slugs him. Not slaps, a full on punch that sends him into cardiac arrest.
 * In Now We're Even.
 * The Magician's Code, wherein Barney and Marshall are stuck on a bus headed to Buffalo while Lily's in labour at a hospital in Manhattan. Despite both's pleas with the stubborn driver, he refuses to make the stop into the city "unless there's a medical emergency." Cue the nearly full bus of elderly people proclaiming they have heart attacks. And their doctors all happen to be at the same specific hospital that Lily's at. And one is the grandmother of the head cardiologist!
 * Also, Marshall and Lily's son's middle name. Marvin  Erikson.
 * "-Dary!" Says Barney at the start of Season 3.
