Most scientific & mathematical disciplines I know of have results that educated outsiders can appreciate and go "wow" after a brief acquaintance, even without understanding the details. Does anyone know of such a result for category theory?

For the last, you need to know what analytic means: (f(z+epsilon)-f(z))/epsilon approaches a constant limit as epsilon approaches 0, everywhere. Intuitively, the key thing going beyond real differentiability is that epsilon can approach 0 from any direction in the complex plane

Mindblowing or not really depends on one’s preconception in the field. In this case integral of a vector field around a closed loop. On a related note, I find it mindblowing that an analytic function is fully determined (or encoded) by its values inside any tiny neighborhood.

I was about to make a similar comment to the first part of this one. Another result one might choose is that if a function is complex-differentiable once, then it is complex-differentiable twice (and hence infinitely many times).
