History Funny / KaitouSaintTail

* The 'Tama caper'. Saint Tail's target was a pet named Tama, that she knew was black with a ribbon. She expected a cute little cat, but, to her immense and amusing horror, found a large ''lizard''. In the anime, she even failed the first attempt because she was too scared to touch it (in the manga, she resorted to levitation)...

** Before the confrontation, Hyuga swears his technology will allow him to either capture Saint Tail or reveal his identity or he'll shave his head bald. [[BrickJoke Near the end of the episode]] we see Asuka jr. cackling as he reads a newspaper showing a picture of Hyuga with his head bald.

*** Episode 21: written on a note that Asuka jr. had to follow directional street signs to find;

** Professor Hyuga brags he has no need for the Asukas to help him stopping Saint Tail, for he has a secret weapons: his assistants making a bad GhostBusters shout-out. Sure, the backpack are actually tranquillizer guns, but they look ''ridiculous''.

* In episode 20, Meimi is sitting under a tree, fantasizing about being an explorer. Cue terror when [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes a lizard]] fell on the book on her lap.
** Immediately after, a passing Asuka jr. mocks Meimi for her fear and throws the lizard behind him. [[OhCrap Right on the face of one of the teachers]], who gives him detention before fainting.

*** In a BrickJoke on the BrickJoke, at the end of the episode Saint Tail dupes the scientist of the local observatory into believing a piece of a comet is about to hit them by showing them that movie through their instruments' screens. Made funnier by Asuka jr.'s face when he notices the ''VHS player'' linked to the instruments.

** [[BrickJoke Later that day, Meimi catches her parents watching a movie about Earth being destroyed by a comet and being lovey-dovey to the point of embarrassment because they watched it in the theatre at their first date]].

*** Episode 19: written on a note found in the snow;

-->'''Every witness:''' ''*Literally '''freezes''' and states "No way." in disgust. Yes, even Rina, Asuka jr. and Seira*''

*** Plus, Asuka jr.'s ridiculous happy face when Saint Tail clears the misunderstanding.

*** Episode 18: written on the back of Asuka jr.'s ticket for a concert;

** Tohru's antics to properly receive Saint Tail, and Asuka jr.'s jealousy.

-->'''Tohru:''' "What's wrong?"

** Asuka jr. is a childhood friend of the local ChickMagnet, but is irritated by his very presence. The reason? Tohru, the ChickMagnet, is a year younger and OneHeadTaller.
*** Also, Tohru's way of flaunting his good looks.

*** Episode 17: posted on the gallery wall of the art classroom;

** Asuka jr. is a childhood friend of the local ChickMagnet, but is irritated by his very presence. The reason? Tohru, the ChickMagnet, is a year younger and OneHeadTaller.

** The chef hanging from Saint Tail's balloons.

** To pull it off, she needs to distract both the police and a group of ''gangsters'' (as the owner, and boss of the chef, is a smuggler of poached animals, and had a sale just that night). What does she do? She transforms all the meat dishes in cartoonish versions of the live animals and has it attack police, gangsters and chef to create a distraction. And when Asuka jr. runs with the chef, she replaces the chef's arm he was holding with a rubber arm.

* The target of Saint Tail's caper in episode 16: the Chinese Iron ''Chef''. As in the best cook specialized in Chinese dishes of the whole town.

** Later in the episode, Saint Tail appear flying hanging to some balloons. Asuka jr. gives chase, grabs her... And has an OhCrap when realizes it's a decoy that, as usual, promptly explodes.

-->'''The ''REAL'' Saint Tail:'' "[[RefugeInAudacity Hey! Isn't that Saint Tail?]]"

* A few stories were dedicated to Rina's attempts at proving that Meimi is St. Tail and Meimi trying to convince her of the opposite. How did that ended? Well, Rina had finally caught St.Tail and showed her face to Asuka Jr... Only to freak out when she touched St.Tail's manly ''moustache''! Expecting to be caught, St.Tail had knocked out a burly and moustached male cop and dressed him with her costume and a wig for a last-minute swap, so she'd convince Rina that St.Tail was a male, and [[HeroicBSOD traumatized both her and Asuka Jr. in the process]]. She later explained what she had done to Asuka Jr. because she felt sorry for him, but Asuka Jr. went on saying Rina that St.Tail was a male...

** How Seira realized Meimi could help her recovering the stolen key of a confessional? Easy: Meimi couldn't resist the temptation to perform and summoned a kangaroo dressed with a tuxedo, and Seira (and the kid who would be peer-pressured into stealing the key) saw her.

*** When the still unnamed Saint Tail has left, having recovered the key, scared the kid into not doing it again and showed Asuka Jr. that stage magic is not mere tricks and scamming (previously Asuka Jr. had claimed this in class, and Meimi obviously took offence), the kid had marked her as a PhantomThief, and Asuka was ''crying in despair because he couldn't understand what had just happened''.
** The day after, Seira shows Meimi the school journal with a bad picture of her (presumibly taken by Asuka Jr.) dubbing her a PhantomThief, and, in an instance of SureLetsGoWithThat, told her she would go by Saint Tail and [[JustLikeRobinHood steal stolen things and give them back to their legitimate owners]], and that she would pass her the information in the confessional whose key had been recovered by Meimi (Seira had kept it to 'reserve' the confessional for themselves). Seira is smiling all the time. Meimi is less than amused.
** How did the chapter end? With Asuka Jr. reading about kangaroos to make sense of Saint Tail's trick while his father threatened to disown him if he tried to breed kangaroos.

* Right at the start of episode 15, Meimi's chase of the dog who stole her snack.

** The chase, and what happens in it.

** Saint Tail has stolen the bike and is literally ''flying'' away with it, thanks to some balloons to make an {{ET}} ShoutOut. [[OhCrap Then she notices the crow looking at the balloons]].

** Saint Tail stealing the bike from a ''video game console''.
