History Funny / FateGrandOrderEvents

* To defeat Tristan, Moriarty proposes using "mature women" Servants like Carmilla and Scathach-Skadi against him since that is his weakness. However, against Lancelot who has a similar weakness, Moriarty refrains from repeating the same tactic knowing it may backfire, so he uses Lancelot's other weakness, Gareth, who weaponizes his guilt over killing her in their past lives, faking her tears and calling him the worst, dealing a fatal blow to him.

* What is the impetus for this event to start? It was Elisabeth Báthory talking to Scáthach-Skadi about how Santa Claus is basically a fairy godmother, referencing her most recent Halloween event, and telling her she could fit that role easily if she wanted. Of course, Elisabeth has to decline getting involved since she's already working on the backlog of preparations for next year's Halloween.
* Scáthach-Skadi finds herself wondering who she could talk to about Christmas to get a better idea of the holiday and comes across an exhausted Martha. When asked about what's wrong, Martha reveals she's been running herself ragged in both of Rider and Ruler forms recently. Cue flashback revealing she was attempting to discipline the "delinquent Servants" saying bad words around the child Servants and hogging the simulator for themselves, who turn out to be Caenis and Mordred.
* How does Scáthach-Skadi transform Martha into this year's Santa? With a wave of her magic wand and a {{Woolseyism}} of an incantation that works even better if you pronounce her name right:

* While a SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Morgan, during her summoning ritual for the being eventually known as Taisui Xingjun, some of the catalysts used involved hair samples of Ereshkigal, Lambdaryllis and Zetian, which she snatched on the fly. Their shocked reactions sell it.

* Jeanne Alter's area is a mini [=ServaFes=]. After Skadi learns about [=ServaFes=] and doujinshi, she uses her runes to become an InstantExpert on creating her own. Jeanne Alter can only react in incredulous speechlessness, while begging the protagonist to explain how and why Skadi can do that.

* After the seriousness of the Protagonist's and Draco's ChainedHeat situation has been established, they begin the process to undo it by visiting the seven fragments of her Testament World and claiming a [[MacGuffin Incarnadine essence]] from each of their Floor Guardians. First on the menu is Babylon, Draco's home turf, which she espouses with a hint of pride as a lavish city... and the serious tone is thrown right out the window when they arrive, as ''the entire Singularity has been converted into a Servant beach resort''. Draco is so beyond livid that she beelines for the Floor Guardian with the intent of ripping him in half.

** Draco praising Elizabeth's "screaming attack", not realizing that she was [[DreadfulMusician singing]]. Only Locusta realizes that this is the very thing the Protagonist was saving the Singularity from, personally knowing that Nero's singing is just as lethally terrible. They sagely decide to keep the truth to themselves.

* When Draco is back to her normal form and personality after the finale, she goes full {{Tsundere}}, angrily pretending that her adult form didn't happen and demanding that everyone else does too. Not even the praise-happy Locusta is exempt.

** [[HilariousinHindsight Izo is in the Assassin Class]] so him [[LampshadeHanging shooting laser from his sword seems unlikely to begin with]].

* After Sen no Rikyo leaves and thus leaves the shop empty, the shopkeeper is replaced by ''a Mini Nobu in a tea mug''. It speaks normally (albeit with the typical Mini-Nobu voice), but [[VerbalTic ends all its sentences in "nobbu"]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXkKmE1bQPA It has to be seen to be believed.]]

*** Robin Hood as Atalante, who complains about gender accuracy.

** "Kiss My Hand" CE. You can't help but chuckle seeing Gilgamesh as ''your butler''. EMIYA and Cu Chulainn, however, look like this is their [[JustForPun fated]] job. MythologyGag as well, because Cu works as a waiter in Fate/hollow ataraxia.

* One option the protagonist can choose after defeating the the Delicious Giant Egg.

* After Sen no Rikyo leaves and thus leaves the shop empty, the shopkeeper is replaced by ''a Mini Nobbu in a tea mug''.

--> ''Nobukatsu:'' [[SkewedPriorities "Dammit! Who's the lucky bastard that's hogging her head for himself!?"]]
--> ''Protagonist (through a dialogue choice):'' [[SeenItAll "Man, the GUDAGUDA kicked in early this year."]]

* In a twist, Takasugi actually wants to ''destroy'' the Singularity using the Holy Grail... but finds that he can't. What could possibly stop a WishGrantingDevice!? The Protagonist calls upon past experience and quickly realizes it must be... Nobbu's missing head. Chacha promptly sums up this and every GUDAGUDA event prior:

* On a meta level, the devs learned a painful lesson in game balance when the Raid actually started. On paper, the players were supposed to fight all seven [=HaniwaNobbus=] at once to keep them from reaching Yamataikoku. In practice, it turned out many of the [=HaniwaNobbus=] were a pain to fight and didn't have drops to make it worth the effort except the Storm Nobbu, which both had the best drops ''and'' was the easiest of the bunch. So most of the players just dogpiled Storm Nobbu and ''let'' the rest stomp Yamataikoku into the ground. [[https://twitter.com/FateGO_USA/status/1574974721015386112 Himiko couldn't quite reconcile the reality of it.]] It wasn't until the NA server rerun that the playerbase finally got a perfect run -- not because of a change in tactics, but because they destroyed Storm Nobu in ''less than two hours''.

* The BonusBoss for the event's epilogue is literally named "The Monster Named 'Sequel'" with its skills named after [[{{Sequelitis}} various reasons why most horror movie sequels tend to flop]].

** Moriarty wants to celebrate by giving Fujimaru their very first real drink, only for Holmes to point out that the "drink" in question is just a mocktail with zero alcohol in it. Fujimaru [[FakeHigh ends up tipsy anyway]], due to Moriarty accidentally doing too good of a job setting the atmosphere in the bar for the deception with the drink. Moriarty [[NotMeThisTime frantically denies any reponsibility for this]] while Alexander cheerfully suggests stringing him up.

*** Before the flashback starts, Emiya tries to escape when he realizes some insane summer shenanigans are about to begin. Fujimaru's having none of it, and orders Tomoe to drag him back. Whether it's the "summer spirit" or just how he is, he winds up getting into it when Jeanne tells them they need to catch Reece XP like a fish.

** Barghest and Baobhan Sith are shown to be serious at the start... while Melusine is still tired, having just woken up and asking if they can get to the point so she can go back to sleep.

*** Melusine is the only one who knows that Morgan is talking about the protagonist, and is fully supportive of Morgan because...
---> '''Melusine:''' Lover and husband are separate categories, after all.

** Barghest and Baobhan Sith both have their own suggestions for Morgan's chocolate, but Melusine's initial suggestion would be to offer up herself. She backtracks because, in her own words, [[LiteralMinded human teeth wouldn't be able to bite into her body]]. Morgan likes the idea of using herself as a motif, but [[EveryoneHasStandards feels offering herself up would be too primal]].

* Melusine receives several chocolates from Chaldea staff members before going to the protagonist's room and demanding chocolate from them! The protagonist has the option to ask if Melusine was a guy, and when they do so, there's the sound of glass breaking and Melusine immediately gets depressed. Her mood then does another 180 after the protagonist reveals they were joking and does give her chocolate.

* Lost Jerusalem ends up just as bad as Babylon and it looks like Draco is about to blow her stack again, only for the rage to come from '''''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Fujimaru]]''''' this time. Why? Jerusalem is now ''[[TraumaButton Halloween-themed]]''. Anyone familiar with Elizabeth Bathory in ''Grand Order'' will know this is a bad sign.

** Fujimaru feels the need to explain their Chaldea's experiences with Halloween. Draco actually looks ''concerned'' with how much they're rambling.

---> '''Fujimaru:''' It must be peaceful...

** A side-event features Elizabeth actually showing up under the nickname "Nightmare's Omen"... for only a single fight scene, because Fujimaru ''ordered her knocked out on sight''. They can only comment to their shocked party members that they just saved the Singularity from an imminent disaster.
** Draco praising Elizabeth's "screaming attack", not realizing that she was [[DreadfulMusician singing]]. Only Locusta realizes that this is the very thing Fujimaru was saving the Singularity from, personally knowing that Nero's singing is just as lethally terrible. They sagely decide to keep the truth to themselves.

* When Draco is rescued from her rebelling Incarnadines, she comes out of it in a new form... with the bombastic personality of the adult Nero, introducing herself as "Isekai-Incarnated Claudius" and "Demon Beast Emperor Draco" (both of which Fujimaru quickly shoots down) and eagerly accepting Tiamat's hug (or rather, enjoying her "assets").

* Goredolf and Kadoc learn that Fujimaru contracted with a Beast at the end of the story. Goredolf panics because he thinks he has so much more left in life to do, while Kadoc [[NoJustNoReaction decides]] he has a headache and needs to lie down.

* How does Oberon make his event debut? Complaining about the forest Fujimaru and co. are deployed to, saying that a goddess (heavily implied to be Caren/Amour) forced him to buy an expensive hammer, so he took out a loan to pay for it... under Fujimaru's name, which means ''they'' are the one to pay it back instead of Oberon. He then retreats to the control room [[BlatantLies claiming to be a non-combatant]].

* Johanna panics when she's asked for a photo, assuming she's getting tricked into becoming a gravure model. When Mash and Fujimaru reassure her that they just need a picture of her shoes, she says the quiet part out loud and [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall directly asks if this is some kind of weird fetish thing]].
* The main party finally manages to get back to My Room, only to find an all-out war between Kiyohime, Anne, Mary, Van Gogh and Wu Zetian over who gets to sleep in their Master's bed.

** Stage 23 has Karna, Hector and Lancer Ryouma rushing in to check on Fujimaru's well-being. You still have to fight them to get their pictures.
** Stage 26 features the {{Yandere}} bed trio, except that Kiyohime is replaced by ''Melusine'' of all people, labelled "Is there Anything Wrong with Entering My Lover's Room?" no less!

* On a meta level, the devs learned a painful lesson in game balance when the Raid actually started. On paper, the players were supposed to fight all seven [=HaniwaNobbus=] at once to keep them from reaching Yamataikoku. In practice, it turned out many of the [=HaniwaNobbus=] were a pain to fight and didn't have drops to make it worth the effort except the Storm Nobbu, which both had the best drops ''and'' was the easiest of the bunch.

On paper, the players were supposed to fight all seven [=HaniwaNobbus=] at once to keep them from reaching Yamatai. In practice, it turned out many of the [=HaniwaNobbus=] were a pain to fight and didn't have drops to make it worth the effort -- except the Storm Nobbu, which both had the best drops and was the ''easiest'' of the bunch. So most of the players just carpet bombed Storm Nobbu to reach the kill quota and ''let'' the rest stomp Yamatai into the ground. [[https://twitter.com/FateGO_USA/status/1574974721015386112 Himiko couldn't quite reconcile the reality of it.]]

** The vehicle has a large number of [[CrazyPrepared excessively paranoid]] automatic safety systems, including walking mode, detecting and slowing down on rough terrain, and basically [[VideoGame/HaloReach armor lock]]. Scheherazade (in one of the first examples of the thanatophobia being PlayedForLaughs) admits all these were designed in by her prioritizing safety over speed. Nitocris forlornly asks if Scheherazade remembers what the point of a race is.

--> '''Elisabeth:''' '''[[BrownNote SKKKRRREEEEE♪]]'''

* The Raid bosses? They're ''mountain-sized [=HaniwaNobbus=]'' Even though everyone is freaking out, they still wonder why the hell they look like that. Serizawa even lampshades it by saying the fall of a country should be "as farcical as possible".

** Even when Molay proves herself to be a genuine threat by creating a vessel out of ''the Protagonist'' for her Outer God, it quickly becomes apparent that she has no control over said vessel, which then violently evicts her from the castle. The heroes find her and browbeat her into helping ''fix'' the crisis she wanted to cause.

* Elisabeth Báthory now comes in fairy tale PrincessClassic flavor... except she's gone the {{Disneyfication}} route where the princess loves breaking out into song at every opportunity. ''[[DreadfulMusician Oh no.]]'' Worse, she's been split into two beings again. The Eliza with the Protagonist can thankfully be hemmed in now, since [[HiddenDepths they know her singing dramatically improves if she's singing for someone other than herself.]], The Elly kidnapped by the event's antagonist, on the other hand...

* Molay's introduction to the party has her call herself Jane, which the protagonist immediately connects to Calamity Jane. Realizing they know someone named Jane, Molay then tries to give her name as Jack, only for the protagonist to bring up Jack the Ripper. Molay then loses her patience and introduces herself by her real name. Also, her Elisabeth shows up behind her on the call and is so distracting none of the party can pay Molay the proper attention, which annoys her even further.

** Da Vinci going overboard with a reference to [[Franchise/SpiderMan Doctor Octopus]], having a backpack of metal arms equipped with baseball gloves.

The one with the Protagonist can at least be hemmed in now that they know Eliza [[HiddenDepths can actually sing well if she's doing it for someone other than herself]], but as for [[PityTheKidnapper the one with the event's antagonist...]]
