[[AC:LetsPlay]]
* [[WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} Diabetus']] LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' is worth mentioning here. He plays through a [[NintendoHard notoriously difficult game]] ''without getting hit once'', and uses only one savestate.
** There's also the part where he plays through [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCbYKOBBMaA Volkmire's Inferno]], set to [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Danger Zone]] from ''Film/TopGun''.
** Betus gets another one in the maddeningly hard VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast ROM hack ''Parallel Worlds'' when he accepts a challenge to do the final dungeon in the second quest with no save-states (except in one room where the game basically forces you to do so in order to get a key. He solves this by saving, getting the key, then warping to the dungeon entrance and saving again) and doing it ''twice.'' Since the first time he did it he then accidentally hit the load state button.
* Slowflake has a few for ''VideoGame/PokemonEmerald'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' -- notably when he beats Norman's Slaking (a ThatOneBoss for many a trainer, including himself) in a matter of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02-68tz2bNg seconds]]''.
* After having a ton of trouble in his practice runs, [=UniversalGiant=] completes The Perfect Run in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkZjeNY7-Nc on his first recorded attempt.]]
* In a Let's Play of ''VideoGame/FireEmblem7'', when it came time to challenge Sonia to finish the battle and claim the throne, the author sent Canas, who is canonically Nino's uncle according to her support with the druid, to take her out as a form of poetic justice. First turn in, [[http://www.gamespite.net/talkingtime/showthread.php?p=250369#post250369 he criticals with Luna, wiping her out in a single blast of dark magic before she can even attack.]] Needless to say, I cheered like he never cheered before at the outcome.
* A similar LetsPlay boss kill is in Rondie Plays ''Fire Emblem 8'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlPbZcTY4b4 episode 021-2a]]. Joshua, whose mother was murdered by Callach in the last chapter, delivers revenge in the form of the OneHitKill Silencer. And just to rub it in, Rondie adds extra dialogue: "You bastard...you stole my Hoplon Guard, Assassin, with Shamshir, and A Support adding critical?! CURSE YOOOUUUU~"
* LetsPlay/SirRonLionHeart.
** Oh what the-? You want examples? Ha ha alright. In his LP of Kaizo Mario 2 he found a glitch that could let him easily beat the level. Instead of using it, he killed himself to start over and do the level fairly.
** His entire VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV LP. Obtaining EVERY item possible along with maxing his characters Levels, HP, and MP.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BikdipOnABus BikdipOnABus]] at the end of his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL26iIRSJes Pokemon FireRed Omega Let's Play]]
* After trying to clear a room in Hero's Cave from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Ages]]'' for about 10 minutes, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3elhu6sDcU4#t=1610s these]] LP'ers discover one of the more entertaining ways to clear a Zelda level.
** The best part? ''They were joking when they tried that.''

* In Moments with Heavy, Heavy Weapons Guy is running away from Longcat, and has a long chain of awesome moments: First, he pushes a train until its fast enough to escape, then notices that the track is slowly coming to an end. With a look of determination, he jumps onto the track, says, [[PreAssKickingOneLiner "Hit me, I DARE you!"]] and proceeds to ''punch the entire train into Longcat''. [[spoiler: It doesn't work.]]

* Kerzach [[spoiler:killing Dr. Gallo with a letter opener.]]

* [[spoiler: Eddie killing a commando with a mop handle.]]

* Hawkeye [[spoiler: leaving his cybernetic implants to fly the shuttlecraft while he broke into the security tower and let the others on the shuttlecraft escape.]]
* Hans [[spoiler: using a ''[[ImprovisedWeapon MRI machine]]'' to disable Subject 19.]]

** Tez On Toast in "Answers", [[spoiler:taking his revenge on the FTO... with a ''blowtorch'']]. "I'm going to have a go at making my first art video!"
** Gavin has numerous moments of Awesomeness in season 2 (his rant in "Straight To The Top" is a high point), but his scene in St. Grinstead at the start of "The Last Work" stands out: "You want me to show you with this [''indicates pen''] how I feel about that? [''points at camera''] [[spoiler:He proceeds to stab one doctor with the pen and beat the other over his head with his own clipboard.]]

* The ''WebVideo/Lonelygirl15'' video "Rooftop Brawl". After video after video of TAAG [[InformedAbility fleeing for their lives]] every time [[TheDragon Lucy]] appears, Jonas finally confronts her head-on, and wins, after figuring out her one weakness: [[spoiler:repeated punches to the face and body]].

* Though a language-barrior makes understanding what's going on difficult, Ola gets one in ''{{n1ckola}}'' when [[spoiler: she wakes up after being kidnapped by the Order. Wearing an "bitch please" face throughout the Elder's monologue, Ola acts as if he's an annoyance rather than someone whose about to take her blood. The highlight of the moment is when she indicates for him to come closer and the SmugSnake foolishly complies, leaving his necktie open for grabbing and he's soon on the receiving end of a belligerent tirade. Even after she releases him, she continues to push the Elder's buttons until HE's the one whose squirming and quickly leaves. She then sits back and gives a silent sigh, as though disappointed with the room service. Who knew being knocked out for much of the season could turn you into such a badass.]]

** Betus gets another one in the maddeningly hard VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast ROM hack ''Parallel Worlds'' when he accepts a challenge to do the final dungeon in the second quest with no save-states [[spoiler:(except in one room where the game basically forces you to do so in order to get a key.

** In [[http://explodingpickle.org/swfs/xombie-9 Chapter 9]], when, after [[spoiler:having a gaping hole punched in his chest by an alien monster]], he [[spoiler:jumps over a bioscanner, swings down with his chain, grabs Zoe as she falls, and deposits her at the front door to the Acropolis]], saying "Keep breathing."
** In the comic, when he doesn't even ''try'' to dodge a point-blank headshot from [[spoiler:Mr. Gallows]], and when [[spoiler:it backfires and destroys Mr. Gallows' hand]], he says: "What's the matter? Lose something '''''important?'''''"
** Also from the comic, when he uses a mag-lev monorail to [[spoiler:catapult a hearse over a gap in the tracks, thus saving the lives of Zoe and everyone else in the settlement.]] And then apologizes for being late with: "[[spoiler:Sorry we're late. Traffic was killer.]]"

** In [[http://explodingpickle.org/swfs/xombie-3 Chapter 3]], when she destroys the zombified [[spoiler:circus strongman]] with [[spoiler:a skyride car]], ''at the age of 6!''
** In [[http://explodingpickle.org/swfs/xombie-9 Chapter 9]]: "Wake up, Wolfgang." [[spoiler:EXPLODING TEDDY BEAR!]]
** From the comic, when she throws Mr. Gallows' words ''right back at him'', just before [[spoiler:shooting him with an anti-zombie gun]]. "Howdy, sweetness."

* Even Dr. Elgin, Zoe's mother, gets one in the comic, when she [[spoiler:punches out Ammon]].
-->[[spoiler:Ammon]]: "This world deserves to end, and you know it."

* A big one comes from ''Erika's Old Big Sister'', the sequel to ''Erika's New Perfume'', in which Marie gets the FountainOfYouth effects on her undone and proceeds to become the ultimate [[BigBrotherBully Big Sister Bully]] while trying (and failing) to rebuild her teenage social status. The speech comes in the climax, when Marie tries to [[spoiler:undo [[CoolBigSis Sarah]]'s PlotRelevantAgeUp, causing Erika, normally a [[{{Moe}} loving, soft spoken]] ShrinkingViolet, to [[BeWareTheNiceOnes snap]] and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech lay into Marie (while in a wet diaper, no less) that all her problems stem from her own jealousy and self-loathing, that her bratty nature better suits the lifestyle of a three-year-old than a 16-year-old]], and that [[NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech she is now strong enough to handle whatever Marie can dish out]]. Marie is hit hard by this and, realizing that Erika is right, requests to return to toddlerhood.]]

* In ''Literature/VatsyAndBruno'', a scientist offers a long, it's-a-long-shot-but-it-just-might-work plan to [[spoiler: change chinbeard, a former lab assistant, back to his normal self after he mutated into a rampaging freak.]] Bruno responds by [[spoiler: just shooting him.]]
* [[spoiler:Ohta]]'s sacrifice in Literature/SailorNothing. He knew his master was caught, so he devised a plan to protect him.

** In particular, [[spoiler:Red]]'s death, and his final message for [[ImplacableMan Ace]]: [[spoiler:"Try and catch me ''now''!" With accompanying time bomb goodness.]]
** [[spoiler:Stitches]] pulling an unexpected and awesome BigDamnHeroes at the very end.
* ''WebAnimation/UnforgottenRealms'', the end of Episode 4. Shmoopy and Eluamous are trapped on a sea cliff by an undead necromancer and a horde of zomibes. They can't possibly win in a fight, and Schmoopy can't swim. So what can Sir Scmoopy do? Sir Schmoopy does this: [[spoiler: first, he has Eluamous gather all of their allies together, and pushes them off the cliff to safety. Then he faces the skeleton horde and performs a HeroicSacrifice... by calling up Mr. Judge and insulting him, setting off a warlock's curse. The curse causes Schmoopy to explode into a billion pieces, taking all of the skeletons with him.]] Even cooler is that he manages to survive all of this [[spoiler: by placing his soul into an indestructible magical crystal seconds before detonating, leaving the necromancer's soul with his body.]]
* ''Hero War'', a series of UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny, has quite a few. [[spoiler:Sephiroth impaling Robocop on the Masamune, who rips it out and kills Sephy with it. Spider-Man stealing Cloud's sword and using it to kill Skeletor. Chuck Norris vs. the 300 Spartans, ''Kratos Vs. Galactus'']]...the list goes on.

** Simon telling his bosses near the end of the final book [[spoiler:that he's in a (homo)sexual relationship with an internationally wanted criminal, and on how they can't do a damned thing about it except give him his job back.]]
** When Jeremy [[spoiler:shoots Farraday]] at the end of With A Bullet.

** [[spoiler:Ahmad]]'s beat-down on [[spoiler:Asher]], including a PunctuatedPounding and ending with a HeroicSacrifice.
*** The Finale was crammed with these, (Warning, major spoilers)[[spoiler: Westheimer taking his last lifeline, and telling The Producer to go f*** himself. Ahmad's return. Player's HeroicSacrifice. Ellis' return. Cortez and Leeroy's computer coordinating to blow up the Player clones. And many more]]
* ''WebAnimation/TheDementedCartoonMovie'' - In the end, Evil Blah has realised he has finally killed Super Blah, and gloats that now he is invincible and nothing can stop him. [[spoiler:Enter Zeeky H. Bomb. ''"Zeeky Boogy Doog!"'' indeed.]]

** Wh-what did I just see? I... [[spoiler:WebOriginal/LOLCats?]] Being awesome? WITCHCRAFT!

** Some did not like how the MK cast were [[RonTheDeathEater typecast as evil]], despite Raiden being a heroic mentor in the games and Scorpion being more of a neutral party, some didn't like how Ryu and Akuma couldn't win without help and how both of them doing a BigDamnHeroes moment for each other was blatant cheating or even the [[spoiler:LukeIAmYourFather twist at the end of the 3rd one]].

* ''Literature/TheSagaOfTuck'': every now and again there's such a moment, with the characters alternately [[spoiler:pranking their high school with a faked ritual sacrifice, putting up posters reminiscent of Schindler's List, and/or actively destroying their principal]]... but the scene that weighed most heavily was when the titular character [[spoiler:jumped off a SECOND STORY balcony in a mall (10 feet or so), rolled, then punched an abusive boyfriend of an ex in the gut and ran for it, with ex.]]

** At the end of "THE GREATEST EVAR!", [[spoiler: Hugo escapes from his cage and attacks Matt, who locked him up for no apparent reason]].

** [[http://aitormolinagamer.blogspot.com.es/2015/10/the-fantasia-revenge-english.html The Fantasia Revenge]] is the first review-animation hybrid, but gets [[Main/UpToEleven EPIC]] when [[spoiler: Rakzol]] makes his debut.

Marie is hit hard by this and, realizing that Erika is right, requests to return to toddlerhood.]]

* YMMV, but whenever a movie review vlogger who doesn't like ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' is honest about his or her opinion, be they Creator/DougWalker, Creator/BradJones or an idepentant critic. This may not seem like much, but when you consider the fact that critics who have given negative reviews have recieved death threats from the FanDumb and that more often than not vloggers show their face in the video, it shows great bravery on their part to state their opinion and stand their ground.
