Favorite Scenes: The Funniest Scene In Anime
This I think is at least a contender for the funniest scene in any anime series. And maybe one of the funniest scenes in anything I’ve ever seen.
It happens toward the end of the series and plays off of so many recurring elements throughout the series, so that it just comes together brilliantly. Tears were rolling down my face and I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to collapse. Really it was so funny.
It’s funny even if you haven’t seen the rest of the series. But it’s definitely worth it to watch this series in its entirety. It is one of the funniest anime out there and even if you don’t prefer comedy anime, I think the humour in this is so universalizable that you will like it anyway. It’s sort of like the Calvin and Hobbes or Dilbert of Japan. Only funnier.
The series is called Azumanga Daioh.
Anyway, without further delay here’s the scene:
So…. what do you think? Have any other contenders for the funniest scene? Tell me about them!

lol that is halarious!
HAHA-HAHA
That why you never do important things when you’re only half awake.
i can’t find it on you tube, but i remember there being times there were extreme silences in the conversation b/c of what osaka or someone else had done. AD is one of my fav animes! i’ve got the figurine set!
haha man i have been thinking all day about something funnier because i know i have seen funnier! i just can’t place any of them now… argh! ^_^ maybe some other day i’ll figure it out. *racking her brain*
hah! that was awesome. um… if i had to think of the funniest scene i ever saw in anime… one contender would be that one from slayers forever be etched in my brain with the exclamation “pacifist crush!!”. can’t find a clip of that scene anywhere tho.
“Oh….so you’re awake.” Best line ever.
How about the scene where Batman sings “Am I Blue?” that was hilarious.
I don’t know if you’d count avatar as an anime as it’s made in the US, but my favorite quote has to do with the character Iroh. I just curl up laughing everytime I hear it.
Zuko:So
uncle, I’ve been thinking. It’s only a matter of time before I run into
Azula again. I’m going to need to know more advanced firebending if I
want to stand a chance against her. I know what you’re going to say:
she’s my sister and I should be trying to get along with her.
Iroh: No, she’s crazy and she needs to go down.
@raindrops23 - heh. I thought for sure you’d come up with some good ones too! Don’t give up. I can’t wait to hear your funny scene suggestions.
@moonlitsage - haha That’s *definitely* a contender. It was hilarious! And came so far out of the blue. And man it’s funny in the books too. Wasn’t there another scene from Ranma 1/2 we saw way back that we saw that was really ridiculously hilarious? I’ve been trying to remember it.
@VaultESL - haha I’d totally forgotten about that scene. You’re right! Hilarious. And so unexpected.
@andreamarie2 - I don’t know about any scenes that particularly stand out to me in Avatar but there’s soo much dialog in that that makes me laugh. That line you quoted was great. And a lot of Toph’s lines are particulary funny.
I read a lot of helpful info in this post!
