Awesome / X-Ray & Vav

Go To

The entire concept of the show itself is a CMOA. The series was spawned from a single achievement guide in which Gavin mispronounced his own name and gave Ray a nickname that he brushed off as a stupid joke. The fact that the creators could expand some jokes from an achievement guide into a fully realised animated series is pretty damn cool.

Episode 1 - X-Ray and Vav Rise

  • 'Betsy', Hilda's Ray Gun, is ridiculously badass.

Episode 2 -Operation: Rescue Friend

  • X-Ray finally being on-target when shooting the Mad King's crown out of the air.
  • The Mad King is wonderfully hammy and evil.

Episode 3 - Evil Unlocked

  • Rusty shows off his Almighty Janitor side greatly in this episode. In fact at the end of the episode he's one of three people not under the Corpirate's mind-control (thank his Tinfoil Hat for that) and the only one still conscious, having somehow saved X-Ray and Vav and gotten them away from danger.

Episode 4 - Storm the Tower

  • X-Ray and Vav finally, finally Take A Level In Badass, managing to break into the Corpirate's tower and free Hilda within the first minute or two. They forget to deactivate the alarms, though.
  • The final battle on the rooftop: Hilda kicks ass with her laser gun, while ORF manages to hold off several mooks before being damaged. X-Ray and Vav take on the Corpirate himself, actually holding their own.
    • The Corpirate going One-Winged Angel, gaining massive muscles and using the key as a weapon, being immune to X-Ray's beams is awesome. Even more awesome is X-Ray and Vav defeating him by themselves.
    • One for the writers. It would have been expected and easy for the writers to just keep X-Ray and Vav as comic relief while everyone else saves the city. Nope.
    • Vav, during their Darkest Hour with them being tied up and about to "walk the plank" while Rusty, Hilda, and ORF are being held captive: "To hell with plans! Let's do something stupid!"
      The Corpirate: Any last words before ye plunder into the abyss?
      Vav: Just three.
      X-Ray and Vav: X-RAY... AND VAAAAAAAV! (cue using the plank as a springboard to jump into the air, spinning around to free themselves of their ropes, and then doing their mid-air pelvic thrust on the Corpirate's head)
    • X-Ray and the Corpirate get into a beam war, with them being even until the Corpirate powers up enough to push X-Ray towards the edge of the building. Vav uses his slow-mo hands on X-Ray's feet to keep him in place and allow him to power up his beam enough to overwhelm and fry the Corpirate.

Season 2, Episode 1 - The Dawn of Mogar

  • Mogar being able to overpower Vav's Slow-Mo Hands. Just by sheer determination. He's also VERY competent.

Season 2, Episode 4 - Coal & Order

  • The ending of the episode - the return of the Mad King!

Season 2, Episode 5 - The Madness of the King

  • The Mad King takes the show, driving a wedge between X-Ray and Vav and convincing Mogar to help him.

Season 2, Episode 6 - It's A Crazy Mad World

  • The Mad King retaking Monarch Labs through puppies!

Season 2, Episode 7 - The Anti-Vav Ray

Season 2, Episode 9 - There's No "You" in Team

  • We finally see The Mad King's plan come to fruition as everyone drank the milk the cow gave and suddenly had their strength sapped with a simple push of a button.
  • Vav deflecting X-Ray's laser vision shot.

Season 2, Episode 10 - Reign Down

  • The appearance of Hilda and ORF's new Powered Armor form.
  • We get to see that, for all of his boisterous attitude, Vav is X-Ray's hero and The Power of Friendship overrides the Sadistic Choice X-Ray was put into.
  • Team Lads in action on screen, combining the tea cup and X-Ray's glasses with Mogar's sword for an awesome Sword Beam attack.
    Mogar: Mogar... is... ready!
