History Funny / DeadliestWarrior

* Episode 1: Apache expert [[AwesomeMcCoolname Snake Blocker]] explaining the Apaches' preference for knives while simultaneously removing no less than 8 of them from his belt, boots, and ''headband''.

* Near the end of the Pirate vs. Knight simulation, the Pirate tries to reach his rowboat to escape the fight, but he then sees the Knight is still chasing him and is in fact reaching ''him''. His reaction is a heartfelt [[OhCrap "bloody hell!"]]

--> ''Terence Rotolo, Ancient Combat Specialist:'' You have to remember, all Roman Centurions carried shields with them.
--> ''Gugun Deep Singh, Rajput Descendant:'' Well then, the chakram will bounce off it and hit one of your friends.
--> ''Terence Rotolo:'' Oh, so it's a heat-seeking missile too, right?
--> ''Matt Lasky, Roman Weapons Historian:'' Take it easy, [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess warrior princess]]; you can go and take your toy to the beach.

** Probably the funniest part of that episode was when the Shaolin team was demonstrating the emei piercers, going ''completely ape-shit'' on the gel head, utterly destroying it while the Maori team simply stood back, calmly watching and nodding, mildly impressed. The contrast of the team representing TheStoic shaolin monk going so over the top and the team representing the HotBlooded Maori warrior acting so calm and collected was hilarious.
** The WTF expression the monk has in his face when he sees the Maori dancing the Ka Mate. Even more when the warrior ends dancing and attacks him, all while the monk was approaching him in a completely calm, friendly stroll.

** Later his taunt after Pol Pot has tried to use the cane knife on his decoy. [[BilingualBonus Just before shooting him he says "This is a weapon!" in Arabic.]]

* In general, almost any time the hosts reacts to a particular weapon breaking the {{HSQ}}.

** The WTF expression the monk has in his face when he sees the Maori dancing the Ka Mate. Even more when the warrior ends dancing and attacks him.

*** You can also get a little chuckle from the Zulu rep's offhand comeback: "Well, in Africa, [[BlackIsBiggerInBed we only deal with big sticks...]]" The snickers from the DW team indicate that they got the DoubleEntendre.
* Episode 1: Apache expert [[AwesomeMcCoolname Snake Blocker]] explaining the Apaches' preference for knives while simultaneously removing no less than 8 of them from his belt, boots, and ''headband''.
* During the fight between the ninja and the Spartan, the Spartan has just been blinded by the ninja. The ninja goes in for the kill and the Spartan smacks him with his shield. The *BOONG* sound effect and the fact that it sent the ninja flying is hilarious.

* Albeit in a darkly humorous way, the makraka, a small curved knife used by the Zande, was tested in the same way it was used in their society: a prisoner (gel torso) would be hanging from the bent branch of a tree; the warrior would decapitate, and his decapitated head ''would be catapaulted away!''

* Testing the Centurion's pickax, they put Rajput chest armor on the gel torso, but no armor anywhere else. What does the tester do? [[OffWithHisHead Exactly what you'd expect.]] Then, to top it all off, they start their analysis of the slightly shorter target at the busted ARM. And Geoff's line after deciding the arm shot was a kill. "OK, now let's move...to... (seems to just realize that the head was missing) the... head?" Cue laughter.

** Even before that, we get to see the Rajput, the legendary martial artist warrior, tripping over and falling face first by a log timely rolled over by the Centurion. In general, he looks so completely clueless during the fight that it is a no less hilarious surprise that he manages to kill the Roman, specially in such a technical way.
** In the sim, the Centurion's pickax gets stuck in a log and the Rajput chops off the head. So the Centurion just smacks him in the face with the remains of the handle. Moreover, the Rajput does almost a corkscrew through the air from the impact, John Woo style.

* In the sim for Hernan Cortes vs Ivan the Terrible, Ivan is in a laughing fit when he spots Cortes and his conquistadors setting up for a shot. He immediately goes dead serious and takes one of his Oprichniki as a HumanShield.

** And again at the end where [[spoiler:the victorious Cortes proceeds to pinch Ivan's money pouch.]]
* The simulation of Ghengis Khan vs. Hannibal has the "{{oh crap}}" look on the Mongol archers' faces when their arrows send Hannibal's elephant on a rampage.

* After Navy [=SEAL=] Rob Roy [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome destroys]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill the gel torso]]: "I'm guessing they don't let you carve the turkey at Thanksgiving."

* Near the end of the Pirate vs. Knight simulation, the Pirate tries to reach his rowboat to escape the fight, but he then sees the Knight is still chasing him and is in fact reaching ''him''. His reaction is a heartfelt [[OhCrap "bloody hell1"]]

* Near the end of the Pirate vs. Knight simulation, the Pirate tries to escape the fight by boarding his crew's ship, [[EpicFail but it's already sailing without him]].
** His rowboat was still anchored to the shore; the "bloody hell" was because he saw [[OhCrap the Knight was still chasing him]].

** The what the fuck expression the monk had in the head in the showdown.

* During the fight between the ninja and the Spartan, the Spartan has just been blinded by the ninja. The ninja goes in for the kill and the Spartan smacks him with his shield. The *BOONG* sound effect and the fact that it sent the ninja flying made me laugh.

** The Rajput's terrified face while seeing the Centurion swinging the pickaxe towards him is utterly hilarious. This troper kept cackling for two days after seeing it.

* In the Medellin Cartel vs. Somali Pirates simulation, the first things we see one of the Cartel thugs doing is goofing around and dancing to cumbia music, while holding an M60 machine gun.

* As a good example of the first moment, watch the look on Max's face during the UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler vs. Sun Tzu when Vaclav Havlik tests the kilij on a pig carcass.

* UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler specialist, Brahm Gallager. His CreepyMonotone is [[LargeHam massively]] [[ChewingTheScenery overdone]], and his PsychoticSmirk truly has to be seen to believed.
** And when one Sun Tzu specialist describes the hand cannon as an "impressive weapon for a caveman," Brahm goes caveman by demonstrating how effective the hand cannon also works as a spiked club.

-->'''Mack:''' I suspect that may be why catapults were replaced by cannons.

* In the fight between Sun Tzu and Vlad the Impaler, Vlad uses his HandCannon to [[ForTheEvulz shoot out Sun Tzu's teapot]]. Vlad's expression afterwards is just priceless. First time we saw a warrior in the sim just plain {{troll}} his opponent...

** Rajput's terrified face while seeing the Centurion swinging the pickaxe towards him is utterly hilarious.
