History Funny / Persona3

** There are no words to describe just how ''silly'' Minato's face looks when Yukari tells him and Junpei not to look up her skirt while she was getting up on the train during the first Full Moon boss.

-->'''I just did something totally out of character...!!'''
** During the first trip into Tartarus, Yukari is nearly attacked by a Shadow and Minato moves to defend her. He does...and then '''trips on a pebble'''. This leads to an emotional moment for Yukari as she summons her Persona for the first time in the manga and, after defeating the Shadow, apologizes to Minato for getting hurt because again. Except:
--> Minato: '''My wound's actually not that bad...I'm just too embarrassed to get up...'''

* The Arcana Emperor's melee attack has it repeatedly bash the target rigidly with its {{BFS}}, as if it was comically disciplining a pet with a newspaper like a cartoon.

** Doubly funny as the other answers are "Joy on earth" and "World peace," making it a stealth ShoutOut to WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas.

* Also after the typhoon event, talk to Junpei when he was with the girls. He was wishing on how the typhoon could beat up shadows for them. The girls gave him a weird and silent stare (presumably from you yourself), which make the conversation becomes awkward and funny.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgpV55fCBRY Shiva's dance]] when viewing him in the Persona Compendium.

--->'''Akihiko:''' I see. So that's her preference. Well that explains why we got the cold shoulder.

** Interestingly enough, if Akihiko and Ken are lovers of the Female Protagonist in ''Portable'' they will be [[RagingStiffie very flustered around her]]. In the English version, Ken's might even count as GettingCrapPastTheRadar, considering how all the other Shotacon references got rewritten.

* It's fairly easy, to get Messiah[[note]]the game's {{Expy}} of [[Literature/TheBible Jesus Christ]] [[/note]] to learn Die For Me! The irony reaches critical mass at that point.

* It's difficult, but possible, to get Messiah[[note]]the game's {{Expy}} of [[Literature/TheBible Jesus Christ]] [[/note]] to learn Die For Me! The irony reaches critical mass at that point.

** Assuming that Thanatos inherits Die for Me!, it's actually incredibly easy to get Die for Me! on Messiah, as Thanatos's skillset is one giant BrickJoke. While Thanatos learns Mahamaon upon creation, most players will choose to remove that skill since Thanatos is inherently weak to Hama skills and [[SomedayThisWillComeInHandy it's just an odd skill for the persona to learn]]. Thirty-odd levels later, it's time to fuse Messiah, who cannot inherit physical attacks and is guaranteed to inherit Light ''and'' Dark magic. [[OhCrap Since Orpheus has only one inheritable skill while Thanatos has high-level Dark spells that Messiah wants to inherit]]... you're using ''Messiah'' to cast Die for Me!, you bastard.
** More generally, it's possible for many Personas to inherit "Null [Element]" skills for elements ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment they already absorb or reflect]].'' Sure it's really annoying when a more useful skill mutates into one of them, but it's still hilarious.

* Mitsuru's "execution." Made more apparent in the Drama CD, which features a small skit about the protagonist [[YourCheatingHeart cheating on the girls in his dorm]] [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg (and Chihiro)]]. Here's a link to this specific part [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeCgDXM7eS0#t=2366 here.]]

* When Aigis finds you if you're playing as the female protagonist. Akihiko and Junpei arrive to see the girl they were trying to win over hugging you for dear life, and Akihiko says, "[[LesYay Oh, so that's her preference]]. No wonder we got the cold shoulder."

** Further on the maid thing, Kaz asks what a maid is. For some reason how Junpei says "A pure soul!" with a stunned expression always makes me laugh.
** On a meta level and considering that the extended skit with the girls is only triggered if their Social Links are high enough, the whole thing can be considered a joke on the ''[[TakeThatAudience player]]'' who probably first thought that the scene would end with a few reversed/broken S.Links.

'''As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff as per policy.]] Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.'''

'''Mitsuru:''' Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't call to listen to your excuses. [[OhCrap Your execution has already been decided.]] In this time, I want you to self reflect. That is my only condition. Farewell.

-->'''Akihiko''': ...I'll say this... The principal offenders were Junpei and Ryoji. We were forced to commit the crime, against our will. We were victims too. ...... ...Now please, do not mention it ever again./I was forced to commit the crime against my will. I'm a victim too. So it wasn't on purpose. Please. You, of all people, have to believe me.

--->'''Junpei''': I'll never forget Kyoto... How could I, after last night...\\
'''Junpei''': (when the girls ignore them) Curse you, Kyoto!!!

--->'''Junpei''': Whoa, that's cold! The hell you touchin' my ass for!? I almost yelled out loud! ...Oh, er, haha...

-->'''Junpei''': I always thought these stories were fake. But, she seems to be doing research on them. Is it the power of the Junpei Zone?\\
'''Yukari''': Huh!? What did you just say!?\\
'''Junpei''': Oh shit... I pissed her off...

-->'''Yukari''': Ugh... I wonder why I said that... Yeah, it's Junpei's fault...! Everything's his fault...! The Junpei Zone!? Psh! You really are dumber than you look!

-->'''Junpei''': That's it! Junpei the Wise has another brilliant idea! [[InsaneTrollLogic All I have to do is become a dog! Then, I won't have to go to summer school either!]]

*** The true kicker is, in ''Portable'' [[ChickMagnet that line actually starts to work.]]
** And for the last you get... An UnsettlingGenderReveal. Which is even funnier if you know it's coming and [[ButtMonkey let Junpei go for it.]]

--->'''Aigis:''' I am looking for a human... [[BrutalHonesty You are not the one.]]

--->'''Akihiko:''' I see. So that’s her preference. Well that explains why we got the cold shoulder.

-->'''Shinjiro''': Are you into this sort of thing?!? That's fine, but... Can't you see how out of character this is for me?

--->'''Shinjiro''': ......!? Hey... I know you gotta wear that to get an edge in a fight, but you better not strut around in front of the other guys.

* New Year's Day has one. Originally the guys weren't going to do any traditional celebration for New Years, until Ken reports that the girls are [[KimonoFanservice wearing kimonos]] Junpei evidently mentions on the way there that girls [[GoingCommando don't wear anything under a kimono]]; cue Ken asking if the girls are cold and [[FromTheMouthsOfBabes giving the reason why.]] All the while, talking to Junpei after the ordeal will have him ask if the whole no-underwear thing is actually true and not just a rumour. The possible answers are "No.", "Yes." and "I'll leave that to your imagination." Naturally, choosing yes will get him bewildered beyond anything ever seen of him.
** Interestingly enough, if Akihiko and Ken are lovers of the Female Protagonist in ''Portable'' they will be [[RagingStiffie very flustered around her.]] In the English version, Ken's might even count as GettingCrapPastTheRadar, considering how all the other Shotacon references got rewritten.

--->'''Aigis''': Ninja is the highest status man can achieve. But I wonder why ninjas ceased to exist? Was it an ice age? Or the proliferation of the internet? This is an enigma I cannot resolve.

** More generally, it's possible for many Personas to inherit "Null [Element]" skills for elements ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment they already absorb or reflect.]]'' Sure it's really annoying when a more useful skill mutates into one of them, but it's still hilarious.

-->'''Mitsuru''': Good boy. You get a treat.\\
'''Aigis''': MAN'S BEST FRIEND INDEED.\\
'''Akihiko''': You really are smart!

-->'''Junpei''': "What the hell is with this problem!? What language is this written in!?"\\

--->'''Junpei''': "What the hell is with this problem!? We never learned this! Wait a minute... they must have taught this when I was asleep! What a dirty trick!"\\

-->'''Junpei''': Are you dumb or what? How many times do I have to tell you...? WE GOTTA TO GET TO THE POLICE STATION!
* When the gang is celebrating their apparent victory with sushi, Junpei offers some to Koromaru, only for Yukari to chime in that giving the dog raw fish could make him sick. Koromaru, who otherwise acts as capable and intelligent as any human, gives an [[FurryReminder unmistakably canine whimper and his photo assumes an expression that is the very epitome of "puppy dog eyes".]]

* The [[PersonalityPowers incredibly fitting skills]] your party members have. Akihiko, the boxer, has a Persona that uses ''Sonic Punch''. Shinjiro's learns [[FaceOfAThug Evil Smile.]]

* Shinjiro's critical animation where he [[UseYourHead headbutts the enemy.]] The fact that he does this on ''tanks'' becomes hilarious.

* During Kazushi's Social Link, at one point he asks you what he should buy as a present for his younger brother, who is wheelchair-bound due to a problem with one of his legs. [[BlackComedy One of the possible answers is running shoes.]]

-->'''Junpei''': [[BigWhat What]]?! You're actually excited about this?!

-->'''Yukari''': I don't like how Ryoji-kun hits on all the girls. Well, he's pretty good looking so a lot of them probably don't mind. Unlike Junpei, who couldn't get a girl if he was the last guy on the planet.
-->'''Junpei''': *looked startled* I heard that Yukari-chi! How dare you say something like that about this hunk of burning love!
-->'''Yukari''': *looked exasperated* Hunk about what?

--->‘’’Akihiko:’’’ I see. So that’s her preference. Well that explains why we got the cold shoulder.

* The Full Moon Operation on July 7 which takes place in a LoveHotel.

* A scene that never fails to crack me up is Operation Babe Hunt.

** [[ZeroEffortBoss The Fool Arcana phase consists of the Nyx Avatar simply doing nothing but laughing at you]]. Some guides even recommend activating Rush to gte through quickly and save SP.

--->'''Yukari:''' Seriously, don't say anything about last night, alright?

-->'''Yukari:''' Seriously, don't say anything about last night, alright?

--->'''Yukari:''' Seriously, don't say anything about last night, alright?

--->'''Yukari:''' Seriously, don't say anything about last night, alright?

-->'''Elizabeth:''' Thank you so much for showing me your room.\\

** One of Jin's attacks is throwing a grenade (which acts as a fire attack), so if you have a persona that absorbs fire, then you will heal from taking a ''grenade to the face''! Made extra funny because it lands somewhere near the player character's face, making it look like the player just [[ExtremeOmnivore ate]] the grenade.

--->''He is what you've heard referred to as a "problem student"...''

-->'''Yukari:''' Seriously, don't say anything about last night, alright?

-->'''Junpei''': I'll never forget Kyoto... How could I, after last night...\\

-->'''Junpei''': Whoa, that's cold! The hell you touchin' my ass for!? I almost yelled out loud! ...Oh, er, haha...

* He wasn't that objected to going to Tartarus with only the female Protagonist, but only if...
-->'''Junpei:''' But being chased by Shadows kind of ruins the romantic atmosphere, y'know?

-->[[BrutalHonesty "We came to hit on you."]]

-->'''Aigis:''' I am looking for a human... [[BrutalHonesty You are not the one.]]

-->'''Shinjiro''': ......!? Hey... I know you gotta wear that to get an edge in a fight, but you better not strut around in front of the other guys.

* '''Fuuka:''' MC-kun[=/=]-chan, what do you think Christmas is about?
--->'''MC:''' Consumerism.

* '''Keisuke:''' My train's about to leave...Wh-what should I do...?
-->'''MC:''' Go 'find' yourself.

-->'''Junpei''': "What the hell is with this problem!? We never learned this! Wait a minute... they must have taught this when I was asleep! What a dirty trick!"\\

* Early on, Yukari decides to take a leave for the night, introducing the player to the "unavailable party members" mechanic. Junpei complains about having to explore Tartarus with an all-male party, stating that he "don't want no sausage-fest".

* You can talk to Aigis shortly before she is to attend school. She will ask why she, a robot, is attending school but Koromaru isn't, and points out that [[LoopholeAbuse nothing in the school rules explicitly prohibits canines from attending school]].

-->'''Mitsuru Admirer:''' It's almost Christmas, and you know what that means-- presents! I've got a great idea! I'm going to give Mitsuru-senpai a gift! Could you play Santa for me, and give her my present?\\

* The [[PersonalityPowers incredibly fitting skills]] your party members have. Akihiko, the boxer, has a Persona that uses 'Sonic Punch'. Shinjiro's learns [[FaceOfAThug Evil Smile.]]

** Similarity talking to Elizabeth to retrieve the reward for her request to show her your room has a pretty hilarious OutOfCharacter moment for her. Where she starts off as professionally as she normally would, but eventually gets flustered as she apparently starts remembering what you two did in that room. Then requests that you keep it a secret from her master (which is also funny considering Igor is right there next to her).

-->'''Yukari''':I don't like how Ryoji-kun hits on all the girls. Well, he's pretty good looking so a lot of them probably don't mind. Unlike Junpei, who couldn't get a girl if he was the last guy on the planet.

--> '''Aigis:''' I am looking for a human... [[BrutalHonesty You are not the one.]]

--> '''Student 1:''' We have to wear winter wear from now on... It's so heavy, my shoulders hurt. But I looked in the pocket, and I found a lost possession!\\

--> '''Mitsuru''': Good boy. You get a treat.\\

--> '''Junpei''': "What the hell is with this problem!? What language is this written in!?"\\

--> '''Junpei''': Are you dumb or what? How many times do I have to tell you...? WE GOTTA TO GET TO THE POLICE STATION!

--> ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mns7cQebPTc Shinjiro's room is practically empty, except for a bed and the desk. Pick your choice!]]''

* Your initial Persona, Orpheus, master of strings has animations where he '''very enthusiastically''' strums his lyre like like an electric guitar, and literally bashes on an enemy for a physical attack.
* Shinjiro's critical animation where he [[UseYourHead headbutts the enemy.]] The fact that he does this on ''tanks'' becomes hilarious.

* One of the things you can say to an anxious Junpei as the female protagonist before leaving for the back alley at Port Island Station at night is a cheerful “Adventure time!”. As he’s already dreading the possibility of facing thugs and criminals there thanks to (unintentionally) goading Yukari into trying to look further into Fuuka’s missing status, it's hilarious to see him thrown again into disbelief, this time because of her perpetual GenkiGirl personality.
-->'''Junpei''': [[BigWhat What]]?! You’re actually excited about this?!
* When you arrive in Kyoto, Junpei attempts to stay in the girls’ room, while Aigis attempts to stay in the boys’ room. Yukari tells Junpei to stay with the boys and Aigis to come with the girls. What really sells it is Aigis’ monotone “Awww.”

--> '''Yukari''':I don't like how Ryoji-kun hits on all the girls. Well, he's pretty good looking so a lot of them probably don't mind. Unlike Junpei, who couldn't get a girl if he was the last guy on the planet.
--> '''Junpei''':*looked startled* I heard that Yukari-chi! How dare you say something like that about this hunk of burning love!
--> '''Yukari''':*looked exasperated* Hunk about what?

* Your initial Persona, Orpheus, master of strings has animations where he '''very enthusiastically'' strums his lyre like like an electric guitar, and literally slams his lyre on an enemy for a physical attack.

* [[Shiva's dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgpV55fCBRY]] when viewing him in the Persona Compendium.

* The [[PersonalityPowers incredibly fitting skills]] your party members have. Akihiko, the boxer, has a Persona that uses '''Sonic Punch.''' Shinjiro's learns [[FaceOfAThug Evil Smile.]]
* Your initial Persona, Orpheus, master of strings, does an animation where he strums his lyre like an electric guitar player. He still does it as Orpheus Telos.

* Also after the typhoon event, talk to Junpei when he was with the girls. He was wishing on how the typhoon could beat up shadows for them. The girls gave him a weird and silent stare (presumably from you yourself), which make the conversation becomes awkward and funny.

* When [[HelloInsertNameHere MC]] first encounters Junpei, Yukari tries to get Junpei off of MC's back. Unfortunately, Yukari manages to dig herself a massive hole by letting a couple [[InnocentInnuendo innocent innuendos]] slip
-->'''Yukari''':Hey, you didn't say anything about you-know-what, did you?

-->'''Yukari''':Seriously, don't say anything about last night, alright?

-->'''Protagonist''': (incredibly cautious about answering his phone since Yukari and Fuuka called to break things off after he cheated on them) H...hello...?\\
'''Mitsuru''': It's me. EXECUTION! That is all.\\
'''Protagonist''': Wait-\\
'''Mitsuru''': You wish to know the reason? [[DisproportionateRetribution How else do you suppose I serve your punishment?]] [[SeriousBusiness Is death not good enough for you?!]]\\
'''Protagonist''': Huh?! W-well...\\
'''Mitsuru''': This important Sunday finally came around, and I found out you've been double booking. It seems the plans for us were just at the level of buying a train ticket...\\
'''Protagonist''': No! I was...I wouldn't...\\
'''Mitsuru''': Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't call to listen to your excuses. [[OhCrap Your execution has already been decided.]] In this time, I want you to self reflect. That is my only condition. Farewell.
** The skit ends with [[spoiler:Aigis murdering the main character because of the negative effect he's had on all the girls...as it turns out, it was AllJustADream. Still, he wakes up with who else but Aigis staring directly at him, and eventually faints after hearing his phone ring.]]

** After defeating the [[spoiler:Hierophant]], the party will then fall under a spell from the [[spoiler:Lovers]]. If the male protagonist is chosen, he and Yukari will be transported into a room where the latter is taking a shower. After coming to their senses, Yukari realizes she is only wearing a towel and slaps the protagonist before returning to the bathroom to change. She would then threaten the protagonist if he ever reveals this incident to anyone. If the female protagonist is chosen, the same scene is played with Akihiko or Junpei (depending who is in the party) replacing Yukari.

** And for the last you get... [[spoiler:An UnsettlingGenderReveal]]. Which is even funnier if you know it's coming and [[ButtMonkey let Junpei go for it.]]

--> '''Aigis''': I am looking for a human... [[BrutalHonesty You are not the one.]]

*** She will then proceed to refer to the main character as [Name]-ninja. [[spoiler:[[DontExplainTheJoke "That was a humorous joke."]]]]
** You can take Koromaru to the movies. [[spoiler:You get Courage points for trying, but you get kicked out anyway, and Koromaru pouts until you promise to buy him the DVD.]]

* '''Fuuka''': MC-kun[=/=]-chan, what do you think Christmas is about?
--->'''MC''': Consumerism.

* '''Keisuke''': My train's about to leave...Wh-what should I do...?
-->'''MC''': Go 'find' yourself.

--> '''Student 1''': We have to wear winter wear from now on... It's so heavy, my shoulders hurt. But I looked in the pocket, and I found a lost possession!\\
'''Student 2''': My shoulders hurt too... Plus, I [[HearingVoices heard weird voices]]... And I've got a headache...\\
'''Student 1''': ...[[IncrediblyLamePun P]]-[[DemonicPossession Possession]]...!

* When the gang is celebrating their [[spoiler:apparent victory]] with sushi, Junpei offers some to Koromaru, only for Yukari to chime in that giving the dog raw fish could make him sick. Koromaru, who otherwise acts as capable and intelligent as any human, gives an [[FurryReminder unmistakably canine whimper and his photo assumes an expression that is the very epitome of "puppy dog eyes".]]

* You have been preparing for [[spoiler: the harbinger of the apocalypse]]. It's the Promised Day, meaning you will literally be facing [[spoiler: the end of the world as we know it]]. That awesome battle theme is playing, you've prepped your Personas and party members for one final battle... Then, [[spoiler: the Nyx Avatar]] has to ruin it by throwing spells like Agi at you... [[{{Narm}} Like, seriously?]]
