Wrong season, Hec. Did you mean Graduation Day?
Yep I sure did. Damn those tricky two-parters.

You'll note I was helpful, instead of snarky like the other kids. *preens*

That's why you're my favorite!
It's entirely mutual, dear Hecubus.
*sticks tongue out at Matt & P-C*
I know it's been said, but the "What's left" "Me." exchange is, IMO, the defining Buffy moment.
Oh! In Restless, when Buffy confronts the primative in her dream:
I walk. I talk. I shop. I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out, and I don't sleep on a bed of bones. Now give me back my friends!
Looking back, I find that there are so many great Buffy badass moments that no individual one really stands out, though I have some favourites: the alley-fight in The Gift, most of the ones people mentioned above...
The badass moments which really stand out for me are those which are memorable because they're from unexpected characters: Joyce hitting Spike with the axe in School Hard; Xander hitting Glory with the demolition-ball-thing.
And the very early fights in Tabula Rasa, just after they've had their memories wiped, as she discovers her Slayer powers. Those are sort-of Buffy.
The ones that immediately come to mind for me are:
-Joan from Tabula Rasa
-Buffy reclaiming her calling in Anne.
-Joined!Buffy in Primeval
-Buffy jumping into the pit with the Bezoar..and crawling back out. And Lyle's reaction.
-In Bargaining, fighting off the demons en masse and tossing them off her back like so much kindling.
That's my initial list, others have commented on them, I see.
Or in "Anne" with the "I'm Buffy."
With Polter-cow in liking "Anne" a lot.
Yay for Anne. And yes, that thing with Sunday. Hmmm, everyone's mentioned most of the good ones - oooh! When Ted hits Buffy: 'I was *so* hoping you'd do that.' Episode itself is pretty freaky, but that's cool.
