MSN was great on so many levels, and not just comedy either. I loved when the captain was trying to meditate, myself.

I think it's called SD Gundam. All I've seen are the commercials that Cartoon Network's running to promote it.

There is only one way to explain why it's soo damn funny.....

CHIBI GUNDAMS!!!!!

Slayers

"This is a Dragon Slave Alert, All ciizens run for your lives!"

The one part from Slayers that sticks in my memory is the first episode, when the dragon is rampaging through the village and Lina and Gourry try to stop it. The dragon is about to step on Lina, but stops and steps over her, prompting a remark about how she really can scare dragons.

Hey, that's 'Dragons Step Past Out Of Complete Revulsion'

The OAVs were hideously silly too, the bad guy takes the magic mirror that creates a persons complete opposite to make evil duplicates of Lina and Naga, and they are too shy and sweet to do anything.

The Slayers movie, where Naga creates a stone dragon with a head about four times as large as its body.

Then it falls over and wrecks a city. ROTFLMAO.

Ah, trust trust Anime guys to think of stuff like that.

I saw one of those commercials! I was thinking 'WTF?! They've chibiized gundam!'

That looks way to funny to pass up on seeing at least once. Even if the show sucks it will still be cool for the Chibi Gundams.

I refer to the new $15000 pizza oven they have for us (it can't even cook a decent size pizza, and takes too long because it's 1/4 of the size of a real of a real oven. As "CHIBI PIZZA OVEN"

The Japanese Girls giggle at work....

Tokyo Godfathers. Goddamn if I wasn't clutching my gut at points...

Nothing's funnier than watching a middle-aged transvestite lounge singer go totally Hulk on a drunken heckler, complete with sound effects.

Of course, the fact that the entire movie is a really warped take on the Nativity makes it funny in and of itself.

Still scenes from Slayers.

"So, it turns out that the dragon was gay."

If it follows the comics in the model kits it's actually quite cool in some ways. (Or funny, depending on what series.)

Last night's Big O.

Beck and his boys try to attack Big O in a combining Super Robot, complete with rediculous poses.

Roger, not even moving from his original pose, activates a series of guns in Big O's arm and blows them away in one shot.

Oh yeah! You aren't even shown when Roger activates the big guns, tho... just the SuperRobot completing it's posing and then getting blown away.

Well, the funniest recently would probably be from FLCL. Especially when they become manga-ized in the first episode.

My favorite Slayers moment, near the end of Next:

"Don't worry Lina, I know exactly what to do!"

....

"AAAAHH! EVERYBODY RUN!"

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2003-09-02 05:00pm

That happens a lot in Slayers.

Now *that* was a hard joke to translate. In Japan, cats are notorious for being unclean animals, and just walking through trash. Thus, if something is really nasty, someone will say "even a cat would step over it." Thus, the joke about even Dragons stepping over the horrible Lina Inverse.

Last Night's InuYasha: "Tetsaiga Broken"

InuYashi somehow taps into his Demon-side and slices Naroga's newest chyld-demon up like a ragdoll... After said chyld-demon bit Tetsaiga in two.
Kagome slowly approachs the wrathful InuYashi, who is growling and looking likely to lash out at anyone.

"InuYasha..." Kagome croons softly
"Stay back!!" growls Inuyasha, eyes blood red
"Inuyasha..." Kagome murmurs, nearly lovingly
"Don't come closer...!" snarled her way, claws lengthening
"Inuyasha.........."
"I'm warning you!" Inuyashi spins on her, claws out
"Sit!"
*WHAM!* *Dust Cloud and hole in ground*

"Hey! Wha'd ya do that for!?!" InuYasha, again mostly human.

SAMAS · Post by **SAMAS** » 2003-09-04 06:09pm

My favorite "Sit" scene was after their second run-in with Kikkyo. Kagome had just gone back to the present while Miroku was giving Inuyasha "advice" about dealing with two girls. Unfortunately, they don't know that Kagome just popped back in because she forgot something.

Inuyasha: "I don't know why I can't just have them both!"

Miroku: "The problem is keeping is a secret. Because if Kagome finds out..."

Kagome(off-screen): "SIT!"

*Wham*

Miroku(Not noticing the faceplanted Inuyasha): "That's right, big Sit!"

Then there's Miroku's first appearance, when he sees Kagome bathing while wearing the combined jewel shards.

"It's a shard of the Shikon Jewel! And they're-- It's huge!"

(SNIP)

I like the scene after (the ninja girl whose name I can't spell) joined. The girls are bathing, and something starts rustling in the brush. Ninja-girl attacks, scaring away a monkey, then InuYasha and Miroku appear to see if the girls need help. Next scene, Miroku and InuYasha are nursing bruises.
InuYasha: I don't know why I got hit.
Miruko: It was worth it, just for the view.

A friend of mine has been trying to make me appreciate anime. For the most part she's failed, but she did show me an episode of something a few weeks ago where right in the middle of a scene, a very loud, very underdressed, very overproportioned girl runs into the room and grabs another female character's tits for no good reason.

It was funny, in a "what the fuck just happened" way.

consequences · Post by **consequences** » 2003-09-05 04:32pm

That's not a 'what-the-fuck', that's almost normal for anime. The entirety of Utena the movie was a 'what-the-fuck'. Excel Saga is pretty much a string of 'what-the-fucks'. That's just sick Japanese humor in its natural state

The funniest scene I've scene lately (as in within the past month) would likely be out of .hack//GIFT. As all of the characters rush off towards the "Onsen of the Twilight," Balmung's left behind and starts singing "Yasashii Yoake" (the .hack//SIGN ending) out of the blue in an utterly mournful way. Actually, Balmung's the butt of many of the jokes in GIFT.

You're kidding! Sango's name is the easiest to spell out of the entire group!

I think it was more like:

"It was worth the pain. That was quite a sight!"
