About: Pure Awesomeness   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Normally, in order for a character to reach a Crowning Moment of Awesome threshold, they have to do something. Even if it's something as mundane as eating a potato chip. Sometimes, however, a character is so overflowing with the awesome that they don't actually have to do anything. All they have to do is walk into the room, or in in the most extreme cases, stand there. Their simple existence alone irradiates an effect of awesomeness that causes tangible physical harm to their enemies, and makes men and women fall in love with them. And all we can do is watch.

"Whoa, Dude... that guy is awesome...""What do you mean? He isn't doing anything- whoa, he is awesome..." Characters can be made of it. Groups can be made of it. Scenes can be made of it. Entire movies can be made of it. If Pure Awesomeness didn't exist, how could anything ever be so cool it can be used as a laxative? This trope (in case the multiple uses of the word "awesome" as if it has an objective meaning didn't tip you off) is by its very nature almost completely irrational and often used for comedy. Do not try to ruminate over the meaning of this trope. Either accept the physical manifestation of Rule of Cool, or watch a more logical show. Not to be confused with something awesome happening off-screen, where the awesomeness's effect was probably justified by something tangible actually happening. Might overlap with Awesomeness Is Volatile. Examples of Pure Awesomeness include:
