History Awesome / TheATeam

* Meta-Awesome: Bradley Cooper was so proficient during weapons training that he could reload his M4 rifle in less than 4 seconds.
** Also meta is that Sharlto Copley had previous starred in exactly ONE full-length movie, Film/{{District 9}}, and ONE short film which was the predecessor to Film/{{District 9}}. He went from producer, 3D animator and non-actor to [[AscendedFanboy starring in one of his favorite series from his childhood.]]

*** Alpha. Mike. Foxtrot! In other words: ''Adios mother [[CurseCutShort fuc]]''-'''(BOOM)'''

* "[[Recap/TheATeamS4E4LeaseWithAnOptionToDie Lease With an Option to Die]]": Hannibal and Murdock masquerading as an old, wheelchair-bound woman and her yo-yo obsessed son (respectively) threaten and then shoot up the office of TheDragon in that episode, without once breaking character. Those couple of minutes holds so much CrazyAwesome and complete hilarity as Hannibal plays the sweet and proper old lady (including the sweet and innocent look he holds while shooting up the office) and Murdock the doting son (who knocks out a couple of goons with his yo-yo for his mother as any good son should) has to be seen twice to be believed.

* Hannibal: "You are engaged in unauthorized warfare on United States Military Personnel...[[NeutralNoLonger over]] [[SummonBiggerFish United States]] [[OhCrap airspace!]]"

* Murdock and Hannibal get a double in "[[Recap/TheATeamS1E13TheBeastFromTheBellyOfABoeing The Beast from the Belly of a Boeing]]" when Murdock is (temporarily) blinded by a muzzleflash and he has to coach Hannibal through landing a plane. Murdock can tell how Hannibal is doing just by the sound of the plane and the tilting, and with his coaching, Hannibal lands (mostly) safely, despite the only experience he'd had previously was one lesson with an instructor where he got to hold the stick for a couple of minutes.

** Hannibal then goes balls-out by using the tank's weapons to slow their descent into the lake.

* In "[[Recap/TheATeamS1E3TheChildrenOfJamestown The Children of Jamestown]]", Hannibal and B.A. defeating the cultists with a jeep-mounted ''[[KillItWithFire flamethrower]]''. With Murdock dropping bombs from a helicopter, which [[CigarFuseLighting he lights with his cigar]].

* Face gets a good one in the fourth-season episode "[[Recap/TheATeamS4E10ThereGoesTheNeighborhood There Goes the Neighborhood]]". The team has been hiding out from a group of kidnappers in suburbia, passing the time by annoying the local drug smugglers. This impresses the locals so much the make Hannibal block captain of the neighborhood watch, which irritates the smugglers no end. So, when the kidnappers show up and start interrogating Face about the password into the team's other safehouse (the drug dealers' place, which Face convinced them the team had bought), what does Face tell them to say? "It's the new block captain." Cue one of the show's only three-way gunfights when the kidnappers follow this advice.

* Hannibal: "You are engaged in unauthorized warfare on United States Military Personel...[[spoiler:[[NeutralNoLonger over]] [[SummonBiggerFish United States]] [[OhCrap airspace]]]]"

* When Murdock and the rest of the inmates sit down to watch a 3D movie, a jeep is shown on the screen moving towards the audience. [[spoiler:Cue the rest of the A team crashing down the wall with a jeep, timed ''exactly'' to the film.]]

* Baracus taking out Pike by doing a ''[[KamenRider Rider Kick]]'' complete with motorcycle, and then revealing his ImportantHaircut.

** Alpha. Mike. Foxtrott! In other words: ADIOS MOTHERF-!

* Murdock correctly identifying the helicopter of the people who abducted his psychologist only by the sound of it's engines and a brief (blurry) glimpse of it, and putting together a plan on the fly to escape the V.A. and get to Face's, all while in a drugged stupor (caused by the people who abducted his psychologist) and slowly falling into unconsciousness.

** Face verbally bitchslapping the drug dealer while about to be hung and set on fire

*** Hell, even General Tuco, the guy who was ''chasing'' them, thought the barrel role was awesome.

* The HighAltitudeBattle over German airspace which is then turned into a FreeFallFight with a parachuting tank against two [[AttackDrone Reaper UAVs]]. Using the cannon to ''steer'' and to slow their descent.
-->'''Fire everything!'''

--> '''Technician:''' Are they still trying to shoot that drone?
--> '''Sosa:''' No, they're trying to fly that tank.
** Earning the guys another when they prove the subordinate to also be right by still shooting down the second Reaper. When they do, Sosa's reaction is one of utter awe.

This impresses the locals so much the make Hannibal block captain of the neighborhood watch, which irritates the smugglers no end.

"It's the new block captain." Cue one of the show's only three-way gunfights when the kidnappers follow this advice.
** It's even better than that. They didn't just inexplicably confuse it with the other house. Face ''told'' them to go there. He convinced them that the A-Team had bought two houses in the neighborhood.

Those couple of minutes holds so much CrazyAwesome and complete hilarity as Hannibal plays the sweet and proper old lady (including the sweet and innocent look he holds while shooting up the office) and Murdock the doting son (who knocks out a couple of goons with his yo-yo for his mother as any good son should) has to be seen twice to be believed.

* Murdock outmaneuvering and causing a high-grade helicopter to crash while piloting a helicopter that is literally falling apart.

* Season Two. The Team is going after a baron who whips up and sells poisoned moonshine. Hannibal and Tawnia are infiltrating one of the clubs where this drink is sold. After patting Hannibal down, the guys who run the club determine that Tawnia cannot possibly be hiding any weapons on her person. She produces a gun, to their surprise. One of them says "[[TemptingFate You wouldn't]]", to which Hannibal, taking the gun, replies:

-->'''Face''': He's a real mystery. A walking riddle. Yeah, he might start dropping bombs on you guys and on the other hand, he might just show up as a nun. I can't tell.

-->'''Face''': Sounds like World War V.
-->'''B.A''': Hey, man, that sounds like Hannibal!

* In "[[Recap/TheATeamS2E21DeadlyManuevers Deadly Manuevers]]", the A-Team is temporarily between missions and Hannibal decides it's a good time for some training. What the A-Team does to keep themselves in shape is rather impressive -- crawling across fields under a hail of bullets and racing through an obstacle course, with the person who comes in last having to do more running.
