NOTE: For this category, nominees will not be listed until voting begins.
I knew it was a mistake. I knew I shouldn’t have called Spencer to help me out on this one.
It’s been less than two days, and I already want to shoot him.
Or myself.
Mostly him.
Past Mistakes by LittleFairy
Banter:
"Shawn, that was funny twenty years ago! As a purely theoretical concept! It's physically impossible to send Mickey into space with a firecracker! Shawn, they're going to arrest you!"
Videos by dragonnan
Banter:
“For eight movies… that’s like, a hundred and sixty bucks…”
Gus grunted, shifting at his desk, feet propped comfortably on the edge.
“I sure as hell ain’t paying the late fees.”
There was silence between them for a while, the only sounds the crunching of chips and the soft flip from the glossy magazine in Gus’s hands. Finally, Shawn shifted his shoulders, reaching back to scratch the base of his neck.
“Good thing we used Lassy’s account, huh.”
The Fortune Cookie by msfiction
Banter:
"I'm predicting your fortune."
Shawn’s eyes shut.
"Gus." He opened his eyes. "That's not chicken."
"Ha." Pause. "Ha."
"'You have a happy spleen.'" Shawn said passing over the cookie with a wink.
When Opportunity Knocks, You Gotta Take It by LazyDaizy
Banter:
Shawn looked over at Gus, grinned, and held out his fist. “That was too easy.”
Gus bumped his fist with Shawn’s. “You know it.”
“Shall we now engage in primary colored plastic fisticuffs?”
“As long as I’m the red one.”
Two's Company by centipede
Banter:
"--and he folds like a bad hand," Henry finished, handing the beer to Lassiter as he sat back down. He looked suddenly at Shawn. "Sit down and have some dinner."
The lead had slipped away from him, and Shawn knew when, and exactly how, to bow out.
Disgracefully, as a rule of thumb.
"Well!" he said, clapping his hands together delightedly. The smirk was forced. "This has been a pleasant visit, but I just remembered I left a pot of self-preservation simmering on the stove."
"Self…preservation," Lassiter reiterated, tone dry.
Shawn smiled, but it didn’t reach past his mouth. "It needs stirring."
Henry laughed as Shawn turned away. "Oh, come on, kid, take a seat."
The Day Shawn Spencer Tired To Take Over The World
by moogsthewriter
Banter:
“Psycho say what now?” Lassiter exclaimed, backing up a few steps.
Suck It Gus by MusicalLuna
Banter:
“I am rubber, you are glue, what ever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.”
“Oh. Oh, no you didn’t. I know you are but what am I?”
“Your mo—”
“Don’t go there, Shawn. I will break you,” Gus warned.
Fixer-Uppers by MusicalLuna
Banter:
Shawn rolled his eyes and then grimaced as the peroxide stung particularly sharply. "Dude, those guys were so out of line."
"Shawn, you told the guy that his motorcycle—his prized possession—"
"And his ‘house’ judging from the way he smelled."
"—was, and I quote, ‘A hideous piece of scrap metal that should be eaten by the Iron Giant so no one else has to suffer damage to their retinas from accidentally glancing at it’!"
Not Everybody Loves Surprises by LittleFairy
Banter:
Gus' left eye twitched a little. "It's a company car, Shawn. Not a truck."
"Not that you use it to do company stuff all that often, anyway."
"Oh, and whose fault is that?"
"Not mine", Shawn said firmly. "I wanted to get a Psych company car, you were against it, if you care to remember."
"Shawn, you wanted to buy a bright red Porsche…"
"…for car chases and fast getaways. The perfect car for that."
Keeper by windscryer
Banter:
“Do you have any theories?”
He snorted. “Does 'aliens did it' count as a theory?”
She smiled. “Can you prove it?”
“'Can they disprove it', that's the question to be asked.”
Keeper by windscryer
Banter:
“Okay, you just defiled a lemon-filled powdered Krispy Kreme. Gus, share with me. What is going on here? Is this about the slushy machine? Because really I think it's financially sound. We drink so many of them . . . it's got to be cheaper than buying them from 7-11 all the time.”
Gus deigned to glare at Shawn for a brief—if icy—moment, then went back to his computer.
“So not the slushy machine then.”
A Secretary Is Not A Toy by PinkRanger
Banter:
Shawn leaned over his shoulder. “Oh. I attempted to capture her likeness for your benefit. So you could see what she looked like. In case, you know, you were curious, or something.”
“This is a stick person, Shawn.”
“Yeah, but look at the shading on the upper lip.”
"It looks like she has a mustache.”
“Maybe she did. How do you know?” Shawn asked defensively, falling into his chair.
His best friend grinned back knowingly. “Because you wouldn’t have hired a twenty-four-year-old girl with a mustache. You would have made sure that she was nice to look at, because that’s the only reason why you would have hired a secretary without talking to me about it first.”
“Gus, I am hurt!” Shawn announced, bouncing back to his feet. “Maybe I was a little concerned that you were doing too much of the work. Maybe I wanted to give your hands a rest from all that typing so that you didn’t get carpal tunnel syndrome. Maybe I was just trying to help you!”
Skeptics and True Believers by Jenn1984
Banter:
Breaking the silence, Shawn glanced out his window and whined, "It was so nice yesterday."
"It's gonna be like this for the rest of the week," Gus explained.
"There's a cold front moving down from Canada and it's bringing this
giant system of rain with it."
Shawn looked at Gus with surprise. "Who are you? Burton Guster, Chief
Meteorologist for channel 8 news?"
Gus' nostrils flared. "I watch the weather channel, Shawn," he said
loudly.
"Why can't you just wake up in the morning and look out your window
like a normal person?" Shawn asked.
"For your information, lots of people watch the weather channel. I
like to be prepared."
"Prepared for what? All the inclement weather? Dude, we live in Santa
Barbara...chances are it's going to be warm."
Gus rolled his eyes as he parked his car in front of the police
station. "Whatever, Shawn. I'm not sharing my umbrella with you." He
slammed the car door and walked inside.
"That's what a jacket is for!" Shawn called out, placing his jacket
on his head and running into the station.
Skeptics and True Believers by Jenn1984
Banter:
Shawn stood up and grabbed the phone with his
good hand. "Spare me the lecture, man. I can't find my helmet, and
you know I don't get on my bike without it. So come and get me." Shawn
heard a dramatic sigh on the other line.
"Fine. Even though I'm already downtown and gas prices are through
the roof."
Shawn rolled his eyes. "No need to act like a raging barracuda, Gus.
I'm only 10 minutes away."
"For your information, barracuda attacks are rare. They only attack if
they\'re provoked."
"Dude," Shawn said incredulously, "why do you know that? I thought
we talked about this?"
"Whatever, Shawn."
Guilt and Sorrow by Stefanie
Banter:
"It's 75 degrees!" Shawn countered in an
outraged whisper. "This is perfect stakeout weather." He took a
calming breath, then continued. "And I didn't ask you come out here. If I
remember clearly, which, duh, I do, you were the one who barged into our
case."
"Yeah, well, excuse me for thinking that you might need a better ride
than your deathtrap, now that you've totaled Gus's car."
"My company car. And don't think we're done with that discussion
yet, Shawn," Gus said with unrepressed anger.
"I'd like to introduce you to a little thing called insurance, Angry
McWorrypants. And besides, it was a business expense."
"Trying 'Batman Begins' moves with the car is not business."
Friends Don't Let Friends Drunk Dial by Collegekid06
Banter:
“…just cut myself on the damn glass…”
Lassiter was saying on the other end.
“Stay there!” Shawn ordered. “I’m going to get you back home
before you get arrested for breaking and entering.”
“It’s not breaking and entering. I have a key.”
“You broke the window.”
“My key’s a rock…. What the hell?”
A Bump on the Head Changes Everything by nini8519
Banter:
“Yeah Shawn, but things were bad for
awhile. Let’s just say you were dead, practically, almost.”
“I was dead? What! Wow, that is creepy. I’m like Jesus. I came
back from the dead. This is definitely going on my resume,” Shawn
excitedly remarked.
“Shawn, you are not going to compare yourself to Jesus and put it on
your resume. I should have never given them the order,” Henry said
mumbling the last part to himself.
“What? You killed me! I can’t believe it. My own father!”
Shawn exclaimed.
“You were already dead!” Henry remarked back to Shawn.
“Still. You didn’t have to…umm…rekill me,” Shawn said.
A Bump on the Head Changes Everything by nini8519
Banter:
“Doc, when can I go home?” Shawn asked.
The doctor still amazed by Shawn’s miraculous recovery, glared at him
for several more seconds. “Umm, Shawn, I think it is best that you
stay in the hospital until we further assess the situation.”
“Well, okay. I have one request. I need pineapple bad. Can I
inject it into my IV?”
The doctor still looked puzzled. “You realize that you’re allowed
to eat.”
“Where’s the cafeteria?”

The best use of smacking a character around. This is the most original or most memorable or the worst(in a good sense) way to hurt a character. Best whump, for those of you familiar with the phrase.
