History Funny / Persona5

*** Yusuke meddles with the figures by disassembling them off-camera and [[ShoutOut rebuilding them in]] [[Manga/DragonBall Ginyu Force poses]]. He's baffled as to why Futaba's upset by it and then becomes genuinely offended when she claims that he, the EccentricArtist, has no sense for aesthetics. They then get into an argument, which starts their friendly rivalry, even Morgana and Makoto makes a small comment about it.

--> ''(Futuba and Yusuke starts to argue)''

*** Even funnier is that Ann just laughs it off and playfully teases Ryuji by asking if he's got "a better opinion of [her] now" while grabbing him by the arm, causing him to instantly fall silent and confused by the way Ann turned the subject on him. Even Makoto was shocked and confused by the way Ann teased Ryuji herself.

'''Ann:''' ''[appalled]'' Oh my god!

** How Ryuji gets picked in the first place is pretty hilarious too; he attempts to get the announcer to call up Mishima, but [[TheNondescript Yuuki's sheer genericness]] saves him for once, as the MC simply can't find him in the crowd and has to settle for [[DelinquentHair Ryuji]] instead. One of the options you can say is 'This is karma'. The subsequent scene on the rooftop has Mishima laughing his ass off in the background while you and Ryuji are having a somewhat heartfelt moment.

* Madarame is even more pathetic than in the previous game. His portrait form no longer regenerates; instead he summons fake copies of himself to attack you...but then you realize that all of these fake copies can be spammed for one mores if you knock them down correctly and he will just waste his time summoning more only to have them knocked down. Even the clones are pathetic; as the real Madarame summons more of them, they start spawning with random status conditions like sleep or freeze on them and with considerably reduced health, so it only becomes easier as his HP gets lower.

* During the founding members first official celebratory party, Ann and Ryuji help Joker and Morgana get some food from the buffet as the latter two are on table watch duty: Ryuji comes back with nearly all the meat dishes on the menu for himself, while Ann does the same but the desserts...what did they snag for Joker and Morgana? A bizarre pile of foods that's mostly comprised of beans, a ''lot'' of beans. Morgana is quick to lampshade the imbalance on ''everyone's'' plates.

** When you are given the chance to respond to only one message, you can choose not to respond at all, which in turn makes Ryuji came to visit and even funnier is that the girls might have mistaken Ryuji as your beloved sweetheart when peeping from outside.

** Ryuji's [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything reaction]] when he sees the girls in their swimsuit, especially Ann.

* During Kasumi's[[note]]or more accurately, Sumire as "Kasumi"[[/note]] confidant hangouts, she more often than not starts displaying outright quirky behavior, some of them being onto ridiculous territory. The rank 3 hangout has her make a bento for Joker that looks normal, but every single ingredient tastes like curry, which clearly unnerves Joker. The rank 4 hangout has her choose glasses for her father, and when she chose a few that she didn't like, she starts choosing joke glasses. During rank 5, she blatantly misses ''6'' balls in a row during the batting cage hangout before she can swing, even if she's making a serious look and concentrating.

* After Futaba's Palace, the plot of the game only moves forward after the deadline. This is normal, but how does the game get around the fact you already have a hacker who can solve your problem right then and there? Because Futaba spends the ''entire rest of the time window'' '''asleep.''' It's entirely possible this means she spends most of the ''month'' happily snoozing away, completely oblivious to the Medjed problem ''she'' contacted the Thieves to help solve!

* There's just something funny about "Madara-Megido", Shadow Madarame's signature move in his combined form. Veteran player will likely be freaking out when they see the word "Megido"... [[FakeSpecialAttack only for it to do]] ''[[FakeSpecialAttack laughable]]'' [[FakeSpecialAttack damage]]. Madarame's own "art" really ''does'' suck that badly.

* During the initial phases of entering Madarame's Palace, [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl Ann]] ends up having to acquiesce to Yusuke's request for a [[ItsNotPornItsArt nude modeling job]] for a distraction. Cut to Yusuke's studio, where at first you can only see Ann's head as they talk, before Yusuke asks if Ann's gained some weight... right as the player is probably thinking that Yusuke's about to see Ann's bad side, [[BaitAndSwitch the scene cuts to the sight of Ann dressed in so many layers of clothes that she]] ''[[BaitAndSwitch literally]]'' [[BaitAndSwitch looks three times her normal size (complete with a goofy sound effect).]]
-->'''Ann:''' ''(ignoring the normal responses to Yusuke's question)'' You think so? [[BlatantLies I weigh the same as always... maybe I'm bloated today?]]

* Like Ann and Ryuji before, Yusuke is surprised to learn that his Persona changed his look. ''Un''like Ann and Ryuji, he noticed ''after'' they escaped the Palace. As in "right outside the exit" after.

* There's just something funny about "Madara-Megido", Shadow Madarame's signature move in his combined form. The player will likely be freaking out when they see the word "Megido"... [[FakeSpecialAttack only for it to do]] ''[[FakeSpecialAttack laughable]]'' [[FakeSpecialAttack damage]]. Madarame's own "art" really ''does'' suck that badly.

* In June, after spending a week tailing Joker around town, Makoto calls him to her office and presents evidence that he is the Phantom Thief, [[NoIndoorVoice a recording of Ryuji loudly talking about it]]. While he can deny it, seconds later he receives a phone call from Ryuji [[RunningGag once again]] loudly asking [[EpicFail why Joker's late to their Phantom Thieves meeting]].

* The fact that this comic plays up how exhausted Ren would become trying to manage his time the way the player has to. Ren spends a lot of the manga tired and sleepy from running himself ragged with his personal life, schoolwork, and Phantom Thievery, and keeps being interrupted by new things coming up.

*** Even funnier is that Ann just laughs it off and playfully teases Ryuji by asking if he's got "a better opinion of [her] now" while grabbing him by the arm, causing him to instantly fall silent and confused.

-->'''Takemi:''' [[NoJustNoReaction *sighs* Good god]]. [[DeadpanSnarker Well, none of my medicine]] [[SickAndWrong can cure THAT]].

* When Maruki's false world kicks off in earnest, it leads to Morgana turning into a 'legitimate' human, for lack of a better term. The form he takes, however, is a boy around the age of Joker, and it happens during their sleep, meaning that when Joker sees him the next morning, he has zero idea that it's Morgana. The following day, Joker wakes up to find this mysterious boy [[MistakenForGay uncomfortably close to the him in bed]]. Upon realizing there's some random dude in his bed, Joker jumps out in shock, flinging the blanket to the side.
** The way the game depicts him jumping out, too. It does the whole "drawing over the screen with a black whiteboard pen" style cover-up and, while the player can't see anything, there's just a loud noise of ruffling covers. All of a sudden, Joker's standing far away from the bed in a fight-or-flight pose, which is one of the most knee-jerk reactions we've ''ever'' seen from [[NervesOfSteel Joker]].

[=->=]'''c) Punish me more.'''[=<-=]
-->'''Takemi:''' ''[sighs]'' Good god. Well, none of my medicine can cure THAT.

** Joker also has a habit of [[MemeticHandGesture doing his signature glove pull]] even when he isn't actually wearing gloves. He gets embarrassed when the other thieves point this out.

* During the Summer Festival on July 17, the protagonist hangs out with Ryuji and Yusuke, and some TV reporters approach them. [[FailureGambit Not wanting to be aired on TV]], [[RefugeInAudacity Ryuji hams up]] his answers to the reporters' questions in the most ridiculous way possible. And that evening, the protagonist finds out that [[SpringtimeForHitler their footage had aired after all]] when Mishima (who saw them on TV) complains that he hadn't been invited to the festival. One possible way to respond to Mishima:

** It's also possible to name the protagonist "Joker". Cue Morgana making a big deal about the necessity of using codenames since it's a bad idea to shout one's real name in a Palace, only for Joker's codename to be the same as his real one

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHBKSao5syY See the whole thing here]].

** When the group tries to discuss how to have a better time in Hawaii, Ryuji turns to Yusuke to ask him if he agrees with his most recent point. It takes Ryuji a few seconds to realize that Yusuke, whose school was originally going to Los Angeles before an onset of bad weather (which, given the rainstorm at the fireworks festival, the others think ''Yusuke'' caused [[note]]Yusuke's second persona is Susanoo, a god of storms, so they might be on to something[[/note]]) [[DoubleTake wasn't supposed to be there]].

** Shortly afterward, Lavenza appears out of thin air to give exposition. Unlike the rest, Akechi has never met her, and spends several minutes just staring at her while no one fills him in on who this knowledgeable little girl is.
*** What really sells it is the fact that while everyone has an exclamation point above their heads when she shows up, Akechi also has a question mark to go with it. The timing is absolutely perfect.

** Creator/MaxMittelman's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqUG7MkClEk#t=5m8s voice acting]] when Ryuji realizes that Haru might be a {{Sadist}} as far as Shadows are concerned is priceless.

** Joker holds back from commenting on Ann's [[BadBadActing poor acting skills]] when she mentions her dream of someday becoming an action movie star and playing as the SuperVillain. Cue GilliganCut to her Follow Up attack in battle where she milks the {{Dominatrix}} motif of her Thief Suit and [[WhipItGood weapon]] to its fullest, prompting Joker to correct himself and admit that she might have an unexpected talent for that kind of stuff.

* There's just something funny about the climax of the final battle. It can be accurately described as kid on probation summons Satan to save Christmas from a homicidal God by shooting him in the head.
* After the final battle, Morgana disappears along with the Metaverse when the Demiurge is defeated. Everyone assumes he's gone for good until he shows up a couple of months later. He reveals that he had actually did not end up disappearing at all, but was too embarrassed to show up right after the epic TearJerker goodbye he gave to everybody so he decided to lay low for a while. Naturally, none of the party is happy about this at all.

* In Mementos, pushing the Touchpad (or Minus/Back on Switch/Xbox/PC) honks the Morgana-Mobile’s horn… which is a bunch of cat sounds coming out of your controller’s speaker. Pressing the button multiple times in quick succession is particularly hilarious.
