History Funny / KaitouSaintTail

** Right at the start, Meimi is almost run over by a luxury car. The guy on it, Ryutaro Tomikoji, comes out to see if Meimi needs help, looks at her completely charmed by her beauty... [[OffScreenTeleportation And his butler appears from nowhere right on Meimi's face]] and apologizes.

** Ryutaro has fallen for Meimi, and shows up at her school requesting the headmaster's permission to date her. The headmaster has no problems with it (especially because Ryotaro, being the son of a very rich woman, [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney has offered a generous contribution to the school in exchange]]), and makes pressures on Meimi to make her go with it... With her being ''late for school that morning''.
** To try and get rid of him during the date, Meimi decides to ask Ryotaro the impossible, namely going to a very expensive restaurant, a very expensive musical, and then the Wonder Garden amusement park, all in a single day. To Meimi's increasing annoyance, Mrs Tomikoji is a sponsor of the restaurant and has reserved seats at the theatre of the musical, so they get in cutting the line again (Meimi still manages to get away. For now).
** At the ''fourth day with an afterschool date in a row'', Meimi leaves school from the back to try and escape Ryotaro... [[RunningGag And the butler appears from nowhere and greets her]].

** How does Saint Tail escape Asuka, this time? By ''dropping Ryutaro on him''.

--->'''Pandora:''' "Doesn't this smell nice? Now take a deep breath."
--->'''Saint Tail:''' "What is going on? This fragrance is... The smell in a bathroom!"
-->'''Pandora:''' "IT'S LAVENDER!"

* In episode 9 and its manga counterpart we have confirmation that Meimi's TransformationSequence in Saint Tail is not just fanservice but something she actually does. Why is this funny? Because this time Rina is hounding Meimi, who is ''desperately'' trying to transform quietly, and is out of the dressing room.
** In the episode there's a wedding gown contest being held, with Saint Tail's target being one of the gown and the stolen design it was made from. How did Saint Tail reach the stage? ''[[CovertPervert Hidden under the skirt of another contestant]]''.

*** Episode 8: a note that pops out from a soccer ball that exploded after ''hitting Asuka jr. in the face'';

** 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:''' "Number 51, Saint Tail! I'm a thief! How is it?"

-->'''Everyone but Seira:''' ''FaceFault''

* In episode 14 (first of the various {{Filler}}s, Meimi, pumped up by a movie, was ''really'' enthusiast about helping John, an American tourist who had fallen in love with a local woman, biker get back his bicycle and help their love.

** 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]].

-->'''Tohru:''' "[[LargeHam You're kidding! My heart?! This heart?!]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint She's gonna perform open-heart surgery on me?!]]"
-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "Of course no, you idiot! Think seriously. For example, maybe you have a dog or a cat named Heart."
-->'''Tohru:''' "Nope. Only a turtle named Samantha."
-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "I see. Then what it could mean? What could Saint Tail want to steal from you?"
-->'''Tohru:''' "Well... Heart... Heart... Heart... [[EurekaMoment That's it!]] I know what it is, Asuka-senpai!
-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "What is it? What's she gonna steal?"
-->'''Tohru:''' "To put it simply, [[CaptainObvious Saint Tail has fallen in love with me, and tonight she's coming to flirt with me and steal my heart away]].
-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "Think seriously!"
-->'''Tohru:''' "I'm serious! Besides, what else could 'steal my heart away' mean?"
-->''*Asuka jr. tries to deny the idea, to no avail.''
-->'''Tohru:''' "[[LargeHam I, Tohru Ijuin, shall allow my heart to be stolen!]]"
-->'''Asuka jr.:''' ''*FaceFault*''
-->'''Tohru:''' "What's wrong?"

-->'''Sawatari:''' "Ha ha ha! ''*grabs Meimi's hands*'' '''Let's run to the end of the world!'''"
-->'''Every witness:''' ''*Literally '''freezes''' and states "No way." in disgust. Yes, even Rina, Asuka jr. and Seira*''

** 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.

-->'''[[HugeSchoolgirl Rina]]:''' "Asuka, when did you get taller?"

-->'''Genichiro:''' "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint What? You don't like boys? Does that mean you prefer girls?]] That is a problem. Let's have a heart-to-heart talk."
-->'''Meimi:''' "[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm going to my room.]]"

-->'''One of the judges:''' "What is your idea of the perfect man?"
-->'''Meimi:''' "Eh?"
-->'''Sawatari:''' "This I've got to hear!"
-->'''Meimi:''' "*embarrassed gibberish* '''''SOMEONE LIKE MY FATHER!'''''"

-->'''Saint Tail:''' "Number 51, Saint Tail! I'm a thief! How is it?"

** The episode's villain, a man named Soma, managed to cheat his way into taking the thoroughbred horse Billy from his owner by scaring said horse into (allegedly) breaking the leg of one of his own racehorses (a lie, but backed by a medical report). But how did he scare Billy? Easy: he took off his hat and ''showed off his shining bald head''. The scene is played for dramatic, and the hat served as a signal for a guy with a slingshot, but still, before we're shown the slingshot part later...

-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "I'm going to catch you today for sure!"
-->'''Saint Tail:''' "It's dangerous to run without looking where you're going!"
-->''*Asuka jr. and the cops look where they're going and [[OhCrap notice they're about to hit a group of trees]]. Then they hit.*''
-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "I'm going to catch you next time for sure..."

-->'''Asuka sr.:''' "We're a family that has trouble with women."
-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "Shut up!"
-->''*Asuka sr. is forced to catch a platter with his teeth*''
--> [[ItMakesSenseInContext Asuka jr.'s flying kick at Sawatari]], complete with FunnyBruceLeeNoises.

-->'''Sawatari:''' "Hey! Hold on for just a minute! First of all, there's only five free tickets!"
-->''*{{Beat}} moment in which Sawatari realizes that Meimi, Seira, Asuka jr., Rina and him are five.*''
-->'''Rina:''' "Wow, perfect! ''*threatens Sawatari with a punch*'' Did you have something to say?"
-->'''Sawatari:''' "[[ThisIsGonnaSuck No... Nothing...]]"

-->'''Sawatari:''' "[[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext All right! I, Sawatari, for you, Mimori, will master breathing underwater or anything! You name it and I'll do it!]]"
-->'''[[HighSchoolHustler Seira]]:''' "Wow, wonderful! I can't wait!"
-->'''Rina:''' ''*DisapprovingLook and face that expresses the feeling of being SurroundedByIdiots.*''

-->'''Rina:''' "Hey! Get away from me, Saruwatari!"
-->'''Seira:''' "What's wrong? It's unusual to see you here..."
-->'''Sawatari:''' ''*recovers instantly and grabs Seira's hands'' "Mimori! I've come here to see you!"

-->'''Rina:''' "Boy. I can't even have a broken heart in peace... ''*notices that Seira is looking her and blushes*''' [[DefensiveWhat What?!]]"
-->'''Seira:''' "Nothing. I'm impressed, Takamiya."
-->'''Rina:''' "What else can I do? First of all, those two took too long to get together!"
-->'''Sawatari:''' "Oh, I see! So half of it was stubborn pride! Oh, brother..."
-->''*MegatonPunch*''
-->'''Seira:''' ''*trying to distract Rina to save Sawatari*''' "I'm sure you'll have God's blessing!"
-->''*Sawatari tries and acts cool, and gets another MegatonPunch from Rina*''
-->'''Rina:''' "When I'm hitting him I feel good. That's interesting..."
-->'''[[OnlySaneWoman Seira]]:''' "So God's blessing may not be necessary..."

-->'''Pandora:''' "Doesn't this smell nice? Now take a deep breath."
-->'''Saint Tail:''' "What is going on? This fragrance is... The smell in a bathroom!"

-->'''Maju:''' "Mom! You've got to get rid of that habit!"

-->'''Meimi:''' "[[LampshadeHanging I've heard that somewhere before...]]"

-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "Don't play with me! I am... I am not a princess locked up in a tower!"

-->'''Sawatari:''' "Listen, we reporters stake our lives on our stories. The universe could explode, but we'd never rewrite our story!"
-->''A warning note from Saint Tail disproves his 'scoop', and Sawatari runs away with it.''
-->'''Sawatari:''' "I've got to rewrite my story! Excuse me, ladies! [[EverythingsSexierInFrench Adieu]]! [[GratuitousEnglish Adios]]!

-->'''Rina:''' "Why is the note burnt?"
-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "Because it was in my breakfast!"

-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "[[ObliviousToLove How'd she know this was my favourite]]?"

-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "It's a warning note! ''{{Beat}}'' I licked Saint Tail's warning note..."
-->''*{{Beat}}*''
-->'''ThoseTwoGuys:''' "Let me lick it too!"

** 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''.

*** Meimi's reply to that trick: [[RunningGag the blimp]]. [[OhCrap Only to freak out when she realizes she just hit Rosemary's BerserkButton the worst possible way (in the meantime, Rosemary is terrorizing a small restaurant with her rage-fuelled BattleAura, generated as soon as she saw the blimp on TV).

** Ruby attacking Maju. Made funnier by Ruby realizing he looked ridiculous and having a {{Sweatdrop}} for it.

-->'''Asuka jr.:''' "Don't play with me! I am... I am not a princess locked up in a tower!"

** Maju's exasperated reaction to [[ObliviousToLove Asuka jr. not noticing the warning note is actually a love letter]].

** While conforting Meimi on Asuka jr.'s disappearance, Rina declared she was sure Asuka jr. was still eating when it was mealtime and sleeping when he had to sleep. The following scene goes to showing us Asuka jr., prisoner of Rosemary... And sleeping until lunch, and then eating, barely slowed down by his situation and the reveal of Saint Tail's identity.

** [[RuleOfThree Did we already mention the blimp?]]

-->'''Maju:''' "Mom, you need to get rid of this habit!"
*** [[BerserkButton Meimi addresses Rosemary with her real name]].

-->'''Meimi:''' "[[LampshadeHanging I think I've already heard this story...]]"

-->'''Pandora:''' "IT'S LAVENDER!"

** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Phantom Thief Saint Seira.]]

*** Episode 41: [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming pops out of the lunchbox Saint Tail prepared for Asuka jr.]];

-->'''[[OnlySaneWoman Seira]]:''' "So God's blessing may not be necessary..."

** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Saint Tail's detachable arm]].

** Eimi Haneoka speaking of her past as a PhantomThief.

-->'''Rina:''' ''*DisapprovingLook and face that expresses the feeling of being SurroundedByIdiots.*''

-->''*BeatMoment in which Sawatari realizes that Meimi, Seira, Asuka jr., Rina and him are five.*''

-->'''Rina:''' ''*DisapprovingLook and face that expresses the feeling of [[ImSurroundedByIdiots being surrounded by idiots]].*''

** The situation in which Sawatari switches his crush to Seira for good. It's too absurd for description, and the OnlySaneWoman of the situation was ''Rina''.
