background:

A person who is up late at night and is suddenly struck with an idea that will radically change the misdirection his company has been taking. Usually accompanied with regret the next morning after having realized how foolhardy it was. As seen in the film Jerry Maguire.
Sorry boss, I had a Jerry Maguire moment last night.
When a memory is triggered by something you saw on a South Park episode, i.e., their parodies of "A Perfect Storm" or "The Day After Tomorrow". This moment occurs when the movie you're watching is serious or melodramatic in nature thereby causing you to giggle while your friends look at you like you've lost your mind.
"Wow, "The Perfect Storm" sure was a real tearjerker"
(giggle, chuckle, snicker)
"Dude, what are you laughing at?"
"Sorry man, but I just had a South Park moment when the smug cloud rolled into town during George Clooney's speech in LA and everything got destroyed"
"Huh, wtf?!!!"
Computer keeps hanging at seemingly random intervals or in response to a specific sequence of events.
My computer is hanging by a moment when you're online last night, that's why I couldn't reply to your message.
Awkward sex moments happen when watching a film with new friends/parents/anyone and there is a sex scene in it, one which makes everyone watching feel awkward.

When you do something outrageous in a short amount of time and get away with it

Feeling of elation when you realise you and one other person have resisted a virulent cultural meme that has infected the rest of the local population.
Etymology: the 1979 television adaptation of Salem’s Lot concludes with two characters, Ben Mears and Mark Petrie, hiding in a church from the other town inhabitants, all of whom have been transformed into vampires. Despite the danger of their predicament there’s a sense of elation that they have resisted the vampire infection.
Example of Salem's Lot moment: having met the one other person at a party who refuses to dance to commercial R'n'B, you both hide out in the garden. Should you fail to find another such person, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the infection, dancing along to Beyonce, now one of the damned.
