  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

The series[]

  • 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 "You wouldn't", to which Hannibal, taking the gun, replies:

 Hannibal: "Oh, she wouldn't. But I'm a whole 'nother stretch of road." *A-Team starts shooting*

  • Face gets a good one in the fourth-season episode "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 (which they have inexplicably confused with the drug dealers' place), 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.
    • 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.
  • General Stockwell's reaction to Murdock holding him at gunpoint and revealing that he'd figured out the General's entire scheme from virtually no clues:

 General Stockwell: (calmly) Whoever certified you as insane should have his license revoked.

  • You know what? F*** it, Mr. T is a walking Man of Awesome.
    • B.A. is such a unique character. He is big, angry, muscular and can make a useless iron piece works like a tank. And even like this, he has a golden heart. He is the first one to jump to fight for the ones who cannot fight the villains. B.A. never think twice to help who ever really needed, but he really shines when there are kids or women being menaced. At that point, he doesn't care if someone will ever pay the mission, he is willing to help. Even against his general looks, when you see him smiling, it touches your heart because you know that someone IS deserving it.
    • B.A. is the scariest character around, and the neighborhood's kids see him like a real live model, a hero even. They are always hanging out together when there isn't a mission to do. B.A. even teach the boys about dignity, honesty and how to avoid the wrong way.
    • Who would possibly be better to make this exactly role come to live than Mr. T?

The film[]

  • The entire intro sequence
    • Hannibal picking his handcuffs with a firing pin (taken from a gun two corrupt cops tried to shoot him with) and handcuffing together the dogs sent to eat him
    • Face verbally bitchslapping the drug dealer while about to be hung and set on fire
    • BA taking out the entire garage (including sending a guy into a wall with one kick) just to get his van back.
    • Everything Murdock did - stitching up BA with a lightning bolt, setting Face on fire, crushing BA's car with an air conditioner and THE ENTIRE FLIGHT SEQUENCE :D
      • Hell, even General Tuco, the guy who was chasing them, thought the barrel role was awesome.
  • The planning for finding the plates (complete with A-Team Montage!) and the entire capture of the plates
  • The High Altitude Battle over German airspace which is then turned into a Free-Fall Fight with a parachuting tank against two Reaper UAVs. Using the cannon to steer.
    • Sosa gets hers simultaneously, when she corrects one of her subordinates about what the team is doing, and she looks not amazed, but irritated.
    • Earning the guys another when they prove the subordinate to also be right by still shooting down the second Reaper.
  • Pike throwing a spanner into Face's works. With an anti-armor rocket launcher.
    • Pike proves equally awesome during the scene in Frankfurt, where he essentially has to fend off the A-Team single-handedly. While the A-Team manage to indeed fulfill their objective, once you see B.A. in the concussed mess Pike left him, you know the plan sure as hell didn't come together.
  • Playing games with the crates at the climax.
  • Hannibal: "You are engaged in unauthorized warfare on United States Military Personel...over United States airspace"
    • ADIOS MOTHERF-!
  • 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. 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 Rider Kick complete with motorcycle, and then revealing his Important Haircut.
    • Even the DVD "vision impaired voice-over" sounds ready to cheer at this point.
