History Funny / Gate

* If you thought Piña's PunnyName was funny, in her spin-off manga, we have a girl named '''''[[UpToEleven Beefeater]]'''''.

** InUniverse, while planning Itami's rescue from Italica, the 3rd Recon Group informs their Special Area trio that Itami holds a Ranger badge, making him a distinguished warrior. [[http://mangapark.me/manga/gate-jietai-kare-no-chi-nite-kaku-tatakeri/s1/v2/c13/32 All three of them find the notion hilarious]].

* Everyone's reaction to the fact that Itami [[http://bato.to/read/_/209776/gate-thus-the-jsdf-fought-there_v3_ch19v2_by_ak-scanlations/21 was once married.]]

* [[http://mangafox.me/manga/gate_jietai_kare_no_chi_nite_kaku_tatakeri/v03/c043/48.html Howdy.]]

* Itami and co. visit a CatFolk village, with two grim-faced villagers at the front doing their best to look intimidating. [[http://mangafox.me/manga/gate_jietai_kare_no_chi_nite_kaku_tatakeri/v03/c049/28.html Even while wearing a "Necombat" T-shirt and something that best resembles a frilly apron.]] Doubly hilarious [[AllThereInTheManual if one knows]] that by some indication the tiger-striped guy in the apron is apparently Persia's dad.
* One of the side chapters features the unforeseen effects of modern shampoo on the {{Beast M|an}}en: the girls are refusing to leave their rooms because their fur is falling out (a reaction that caused the Japanese medics investigating to come in full biohazard gear). Wolf, on the other hand, is now [[http://mangapark.me/manga/gate-jietai-kare-no-chi-nite-kaku-tatakeri/s1/v5/c60.5/10 fluffiness incarnate.]]

** And then there is the Gate World locals comparing the Panzerfaust (ahem, "Rod of Steel") to a [[PhallicWeapon man's ''thing'']] and also thinking the attack was a magic spell called [Backblast clear].

* The reactions to Rory's "orgasmic" situation in Italica is telling.

* Right after the JSDF reinforcements have finished mopping up he bandits at Italica, Itami is seen still having Rory in a BridalCarry... And unbeknownst to him, his left hand grabbing Rory's left breast. Itami is seen with a black eye the following chapter.

** In universe, while planning Itami's rescue from Italica, the 3rd Recon Group informs their Special Area trio that Itami holds a Ranger badge, making him a distinguished warrior. [[http://mangapark.me/manga/gate-jietai-kare-no-chi-nite-kaku-tatakeri/s1/v2/c13/32 All three of them find the notion hilarious]].

* Kurata and Persia's MeetCute moment in the mansion. He's just met his dream girl (a catgirl meido), and how does he introduce himself? By standing at attention, saluting, and yelling out what sounds like his dating website profile at her. Fortunately, Persia smiles and giggles, and Kurata positively swoons in delight at her reaction.

* Everything about Shino's reaction to Itami's...achievements. She had a brief, stunned denial of truth moment when Kurata says Itami has a Ranger badge, but when Komakado reveals that Itami is also in ''Special Forces'', Shino falls into a HeroicBSOD mode and adamantly refuses to believe reality is true, all within earshot of Itami.
* During the hearing, the otherworlders are asked their age. After flooring the representatives with Rory and Tuka's ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, they all look to Lelei... who says she's fifteen. Cue sighs of relief.

*** The insult is even better if you know what "Oujo-chan" actually means in Japanese as it doesn't have direct translation in English. "Oujo-chan" would more closely translate as Childish Aunt. Rory is mocking the representative by calling her a spoiled brat pretending to maturity.

* Japan's Ministry of Defense conducting an air recon over Sankai Resort Hot Bath [[spoiler:to aid the JSDF SF stationed there]], [[HotSpringsEpisode where the female cast are currently bathing]] and the operator requests to put visual on screen.

* It gets bloody real fast, but: special forces from 3 different countries accidentally walk into each other at the inn, and their reaction.

* Something about everyone in the empire [[spoiler:panicking and in terror from a magnitude 3 or 4 earthquake]], even Piña. Then when she looks up she sees Itami and Sugawara treating it like a minor inconvenience.
* Also during the quake, some sexy scantily-clad beastwomen hugged Cato in fright while giving him a taste of MarshmallowHell, much to his delight. Lelei just has an annoyed look in the background from what was happening. In the aftermath, Cato was now sporting a handprint on his face.
* After Itami saves an [[spoiler:abducted Japanese slave from the imperial palace and escaping it]]. Sugawara and Itami stop and engage in a silent moment...then realizing that what they just done pretty much [[spoiler:put all their efforts for a peaceful negotiation with the Empire to naught]] and their reaction to it is priceless.

* In Chapter 41, two fighter jets go assess the power of the fire dragon in the Elbe Kingdom. One pilot decides to play [[GameOfChicken chicken]] with the dragon, going at it in full speed. SmashCut into back at the JSDF base with the maintenance leader giving the best "''really?''" face to the pilots, whose plane got ''[[KillItWithFire burnt to a crisp]]'' (though fairly intact to make a landing at least).
** Their defense is even better, the pilot claimed that the dragon '''cheated''' by breathing fire and was not [[HonorBeforeReason manly at all]]. The maintenance leader just chews them out because 1. It's a flying lizard; 2. Who says that its even a '''male'''?!

* When Itami was punished by Major Higaki for [[spoiler:bailing out his original task to kill the Flame Dragon,]] all the sudden General Hazama enters to awards Itami a special medal for [[spoiler:saving a kidnapped Japanese citizen]] and a number of presents, awards, certificates from most of the countries [[spoiler:for killing the Flame Dragon]]. Due to the number of awards he received, Itami [[PromotionNotPunishment was reassigned to Special Region Resource Investigator until his suspension is finish to not make them look bad.]] Once they leave, the whole Recon Team in the room look at him in jealously for his achievement and with him saying "Ah, sorry about that.", everyone starts throwing documents at him in anger yelling "YOU MORON!!"

* Sugawara being approached by Sherry, young daughter of a minor nobleman and being asked to marry and make her a proper woman in a few years. Cue fellow Japanese representatives giving poor Sugawara stern looks about him corrupting a minor.

* Hamilton's overreactingly terrified of riding in a helicopter, screaming that she's going to die since she doesn't believe such a heavy-looking mass of metal can stay airborne.

** A moment of BlackComedy: when the Allied Kingdoms' army mount their initial attack against the Japanese positions, there's a large sign warning that past it there's an hazardous zone and to keep out. They of course ignore it and even trample it... Then [[DeathFromAbove they're wiped out by an artillery barrage]].
** Itami and Kurata decides to sing the opening of one of the anime they watch. However, the radio is left on, cue a very annoyed Kuribayashi wondering just what the hell is wrong with their commander.

** Rory is told that the 3rd Recon's truck is more comfortable than a wagon. She decides to see this for yourself, by planting herself in Itami's lap. Then she proceeds to "play with his rifle" which elicits Kurata's comical envy.

* Episode 4, Kurokawa and Kuribayashi tries to get Itami's attention by calling "Captain!" However [[ArtisticLicenseMilitary Itami is a lieutenant]] so he pays no attention. Kuribayashi then settles it with a kick to his hamstrings, which he responds painfully.
** Said misunderstanding is a problem of the translation. They were calling Itami "taichou" (not a military rank, simply an address for a commanding officer). They were basically screaming "Sir!". What does Itami do? Continue reading his web novel and after even he noticed them, he simply calls over his Commanding Officer because he isn't used to his promotion.
* In Episode 6, with the conclusion of the Battle of Italica, Itami carried Rory out of a Cobra's killzone via BridalCarry (as well as Rory's surprised expression during it) and when the dust settles, Rory realizes one of Itami's hands [[ThanksForTheMammaries isn't where it's supposed to be]]. Rory calls for Itami's attention, then smiles at him. He smiles back. [[EyeScream Rory punches Itami in the eye]].

* In episode 7, Kurata totally gushes about meeting a real life CatGirl in Persia.

** Piña asks Itami why the contingent are getting tailed. After a long silence, all he has to say is:

''*Everyone says "[[BigWhat What the heck]]?!" in shock and disbelief, the van seems to jump in reaction as well. Shino then aims an [=MP7=] at Itami*''\\

** When one man asks if Yao wants to spend a night with him, Yao remarks that she's not sure that "[[TeenyWeenie he's got the proper equipment]]". The thing is its not just the man who asked that grabs his crotch after that, but two bystanders in the background ''also'' does so.
** Itami and his group makes it to a rendezvous point to meet with Hamilton, but finds out Pina is there too. But she's not there just to greet them, [[YaoiFangirl she's]] also there to pick up a BoysLove "package" from Bozes.

** Yanagida ''flipping his shit'' when he finds out Itami abandoned his mission to help [[DamselInDistress Tuka]] with her issue. Though he probably saw it coming after goading Itami many times, but he never expected him to switch ''midway'' in another mission.

** When Arpeggio contemplates on how she could do better in life, she figure she could be a housewife instead. Jumping right into the questions.

** Then on the debate on whether Itami is single or not, Leilei claims he isn't...because they completed the Ceremony of Three Nights[[note]]in the Special Region culture, when a man and woman who sleeps in the same room for three nights are considered in a relationship[[/note]]. Of course, since Itami had no idea about this tradition and is [[UnwantedHarem surrounded by the girls who want a piece of him]], they start staking claims on their man, with Tuka stating to have slept with Itami for many more days than Leilei, and Rory menacing Itami {{Yandere}}-like stare on how he manages to do such things with the other two...but never touched her at all.

** After the soup fiasco, Leilei and Arpeggio enters a WizardDuel with each other. Then we hear this gem from Rory.

** During a tour by the JSDF to foreign military observers, they come across a well-detailed map of the entire empire in the PX shop. The owner says its 380,000 yen[[note]]About $3340 USD[[/note]]. One of the general proceed to buy it with credit, only to be ''instantly'' challenged by the JSDF officer with plain cold cash, allowing her to buy the map. The reason she afforded this astronomical price? She pretty much made every JSDF personnel present to empty their wallets to rack the cash. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent They're seen behind her semi-triumphant face crying with their wallets upside down.]]
*** Truth in Television really, we often forget about it nowadays thanks to GPS, but head out into the country or places that aren't as built up and a good map is up there with food and water for long term survival.

** Itami skips Piña's coronation to ''try'' to attend Comiket again. He doesn't even manage to reach the door before he finds out that his superior officer has sent Tuka, Lelei and Rory over and arranged to have Itami watch over them. The kicker is that the three of them are so insanely popular that they draw a massive crowd, and a police officer comes along... to apparently arrest Itami, and Risa (who is presumably selling doujin there) sees them in the back of the police car, yells "What did you do this time?!" while a crying Itami goes "I just wanted to buy doujin!" as the police car manages to drive away, somehow being able to hold Rory's insanely heavy halberd.

** Bozes fan girl's name in the same manga is Nikolashka [[PunnyName Le Mon]]. [[GeniusBonus Nikolashka is a slice of lemon topped with sugar and coffee, used as a snack after brandy, named after Emperor Nikolai I of Russia]]. [[DoNotExplainTheJoke Nikolashka is derogatory diminutive for Nikolai]].

* Episode 2, Itami and Kurata decides to sing the opening of one of the anime they watch. However, the radio is left on, cue a very annoyed Kuribayashi wondering just what the hell is wrong with their commander.

* In Episode 6, with the conclusion of the Battle of Italica, Itami carried Rory out of a Cobra's killzone via BridalCarry and when the dust settles, Rory realizes one of Itami's hands [[ThanksForTheMammaries isn't where it's supposed to be]]. Rory calls for Itami's attention, then smiles at him. He smiles back. [[EyeScream Rory punches Itami in the eye]].

[[FunnyBackgroundEvent Their seen behind her semi-triumphant face crying with their wallets upside down.]]

* Episode 8. The subway reminds the otherworlders of the underworld and Rory clings to Itami because its ruler once tried to her into a marriage. She explains this as BoyfriendBluff and Itami's otaku side comes out in full force. He coaches her to act like a {{tsundere}} in such a situation instead, complete with an ImagineSpot where Rory speaks with his voice.

* The girls' reactions to modern-day architecture.

** Rory also flat out ask if the representative leading the questioning is an idiot, and demeaning her as a "little girl".

* Episode 3: "Fighting giant monsters is a Defense Force tradition!" ([[UsefulNotes/KaijuDefenseForce We even have a trope page for it]])

* One of the side chapters features the unforeseen effects of modern shampoo on PettingZooPeople: the girls are refusing to leave their rooms because their fur is falling out (a reaction that caused the Japanese medics investigating to come in full biohazard gear). Wolf, on the other hand, is now [[http://mangapark.me/manga/gate-jietai-kare-no-chi-nite-kaku-tatakeri/s1/v5/c60.5/10 fluffiness incarnate.]]

-->'''Itami''': Shit! At this rate, [[SkewedPriorities Summer Comiket will be interrupted]]!
* How Itami's Recon Team found Tuka...by dropping a bucket into a well onto her head.

-->'''Shino''' ''(while weeping)'': How can that dirty otaku be a ranger...and on top of that, he's also in special forces? This can't be right. There must be something wrong with this world.

-->'''Third Recon''': You retard! Just shoot!

-->'''Lelei''': ''Too scary, can't ask.''

-->'''Soldier 1''': Shit, I'm hard!
-->'''Soldier 2''': Me too.

--> '''Itami''': E-every wish, eh? ''(cue pervy grin)''

* Japan's Ministry of Defense conducting an air recon over Sankai Resort Hot Bath [[spoiler: to aid the JSDF SF stationed there]], [[HotSpringsEpisode where the female cast are currently bathing]] and the operator requests to put visual on screen.
--> '''Minister Kanou''': Permis...Maybe not
--> '''MissionControl''': Minister, Lt. Col., that's sexual harassment.

--> '''Victimized TeenyWeenie''': (while running away crying) Even the prostitutes of the Imperial Capital turned a blind eye on me!\\

'''Bystander''': Someone's got to pity him.\\
'''Yao''': ...Sorry.
* Something about everyone in the empire [[spoiler: panicking and in terror from a magnitude 3 or 4 earthquake]], even Piña. Then when she looks up she sees Itami and Sugawara treating it like a minor inconvenience.
* After Itami saves an [[spoiler: abducted Japanese slave from the imperial palace and escaping it]]. Sugawara and Itami stop and engage in a silent moment...then realizing that what they just done pretty much [[spoiler:put all their efforts for a peaceful negotiation with the Empire to naught]] and their reaction to it is priceless.
-->'''Itami''' ''(screaming)'': AAAARGH! I'VE REALLY SCREWED IT UP THIS TIME!
-->'''Sugawara''': H-How do I report this?

*** Hilariously, in later chapters, it is revealed that the dragon ISN'T a male after all. [[spoiler: Because it made its own nesting area.]]

* Chapter 46, it's Itami, Rory, Tuka, Lelei, and Yao against Giselle and her [[spoiler: two flame dragon]] pets. Itami's course of action for this encounter? '''''[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere RUN LIKE HELL]]'''''. Giselle and her pets just stare in confusion with a big [[BigWhat "WHAT"]].

* When Itami was punished by Major Higaki for [[spoiler: bailing out his original task to kill the Flame Dragon,]] all the sudden General Hazama enters to awards Itami a special medal for [[spoiler: saving a kidnapped Japanese citizen]] and a number of presents, awards, certificates from most of the countries [[spoiler: for killing the Flame Dragon]]. Due to the number of awards he received, Itami [[PromotionNotPunishment was reassigned to Special Region Resource Investigator until his suspension is finish to not make them look bad.]] Once they leave, the whole Recon Team in the room look at him in jealously for his achievement and with him saying "Ah, sorry about that.", everyone starts throwing documents at him in anger yelling "YOU MORON!!"
* Rory reveals that she wants to become the Goddess of [[spoiler: Love]]. Everyone is stunned silent and embarrassed by that.

-->'''Narrator''': And that is how Itami was promoted to the rank of 1st Lieutenant...he just ended up as one.

-->'''Itami''': This is bliss.\\
'''Tomita''': Yes.\\
'''Itami''': We're all alone here, huh?\\

'''Tomita''': I'm into women!\\
'''Itami''': [[MistakenForGay Don't get the wrong idea!]]

-->'''Itami''': I don't know.\\

'''Itami''': ''(With gun to his face)'' Wait! Wait! Wait! We can work this out!\\
'''Kuribayashi''': Quit screwing around, or I'll shoot.\\
'''Tomita''': Hey, are you still drunk?\\
'''Kuribayashi''': No!

*** Then it turns out the BoysLove book was just a bonus, [[spoiler: inside had hidden intel on Itami's military career]]. Though she forgot about it when explaining the Hamilton.
-->'''Hamilton''': Princess, why did you come all the way out here?\\
'''Pina''': For this. (Shows her the BoysLove book cover she got from Itami)\\
'''Hamilton''': Uhh...\\
'''Pina''': Uh, N-no! I mean in here! (Refers to [[spoiler:intel]] inside book).

--->'''Tomita:''' ''(In the Imperial capital)'' It feels like a different world.\\

-->'''Arpeggio''': So what's Itami like?\\
'''Itami''': ''*SpitTake*''

--->'''Arpeggio''':''(referring to Itami)'' An elite noble with an elven child...huh? [[InterspeciesAdoption an elven child?]]\\
'''Leilei''': You can ignore that.
** Then on the debate on whether Itami is single or not, Leilei claims he isn't...because they completed the Ceremony of Three Nights[[note]]A Special region culture where a man and woman who sleeps in the same room for three nights are considered in a relationship[[/note]]. Of course, since Itami had no idea about this tradition and is [[UnwantedHarem surrounded by the girls who want a piece of him]], they start glomping on their man, with Tuka claiming to have slept with Itami for many more days than Leilei, and Rory menacing Itami {{Yandere}}-like stare on how he manages to do such things with the other two...but never touched her at all.
** Leilei proves to be much better off than her sister Arpeggio. She's about to become a master, she's rich and famous, and she's got Itami. Arpeggio enters a HeroicBSOD where she claims she must do what any [[TheGloriousWarofSisterlyRivalry elder sister must do to maintain their relationship as sisters]]...and promptly slams her bowl of soup onto Leilei, staining her orange.
*** The [[ReactionShot reaction]] from the cast is also funny, especially since the whole scene is played out in slow-motion for at least a minute straight with lots of RepeatCut. Mimoza's reaction probably takes the cake though.
--->'''Mimoza''': Oh my! Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, [[OverlyLongGag oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my...]]

-->'''Rory''': The ''13th battle'' between the Leilei sisters will now begin!

-->'''Leilei''': I can't imagine we'll find any resources like this.

* In one of the omake chapters, as Itami and his group return from the conference, they choose to take a path that turns out to have been demolished by the recent earthquakes. While Lelei can control a few rocks to clear the path, she needs to rest so she can allow the jeep to move to the other side of the fissure, so they make camp at the site. That night, Rory, still massively turned on by the bloodshed still ongoing at the capital, sneaks up to Itami's sleeping bag and tries again to have her way with him. A panicking Itami reasons out she needs an outlet for the extra energy... so he has her carry the jeep to the other side of the gap.
