Awesome / Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

• Ricky's very first race. While working as a pit crew member for the #26 car, the driver decides to suddenly quit mid race and go to the snack bar believing they'll finish last anyway. Ricky volunteers to drive the car in his place and manages to go from last place to third with no experience.
• Don't tell me it's not awesome when Ricky Bobby wins the final race on foot after he and Jean Girard wreck their cars.
  • With Pat Benatar's "We Belong" as background music!
  • Not to mention the wreck that took out the whole field before hand.
  • Cal gets one for his response to Dennit's threat to fire him if he doesn't knock Ricky out of the race:
    Cal: Tell Mr. Dennit that Ricky Bobby is my best friend, and it's Shake 'n Bake time!
• And don't forget Ricky learning to drive "with the fear" by having a live cougar in his car.
• Susan's Dare to Be Badass Rousing Speech to Ricky. It's enough to make one wonder why Amy Adams has never given a commencement speech!
• After the climactic race, Susan speaks her mind to Carly, Ricky's former wife, and the two flash their boobs at each other. Carly is surprised at Susan's.
  • Not to mention that Ricky turned down Carly for Susan.
• For all you Moral Guardians out there, two words: GRANNY LAW.
