  • Ron and Veronica's fight in the newsroom, which escalated from petty insults after Veronica pushed Ron's Berserk Button and told him he had stupid hair. Ron tries to get the upper hand by throwing Veronica over one of the desks but she quickly takes control after Ron maces himself in the face, whereby she then rips off a TV antennae and starts beating him with it like a cattle prod.
  • The epic street fight with all the other channels.
    "I stabbed a man in the heart!!!"
    "I saw that! Brick killed a guy! Did you throw a trident?"
    "Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident!"
    "Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find a safe house or a relative close by; lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder."
  • Ron breathing fire out of a flute during his solo, including a few notes from Aqualung. Why? Because it looks awesome.
  • Though nobody in the news team fares particularly well during the bear fight, Brian stands out for being the only member of the group to land a hit on one of the bears.
  • Veronica reponds to Champ copping a feel of one of her breasts by giving him a swift punch in the balls.
  • Veronica proving to everyone that she is a great anchor-person, while Ron is out, to the point where even Ed is impressed.
  • When Ron is asked to come back on air as a news anchor, he realizes he needs to get himself cleaned up so he looks good on TV. He steps into the bar’s bathroom, looking disheveled, dirty, and unkempt, a large, shaggy beard on his face, and SECONDS later steps out looking as good as new, beard gone, suit and tie clean and straightened out, and hair perfectly combed.
    Bartender: Damn! That guy cleans up good!
