History Funny / Pokemon

* Your first conversation with your mom in first generation games. "All boys leave home someday. It says so on TV." The notion of Delia Ketchem saying something like that brings a smile to my face.

* [[{{Funny/Ptitled53fvupl}} Pokemon Special's page.]]

* Episode 17 in the Best Wishes anime: Ash's Zuruggu finally hatches from its egg. After a nasty encouter with wild Denchura which leaves it paralyzed, Ash is forced to feed it some medicine. Watch for yourself (skip to 1:54 in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Joj1Dho285U video]]).

* [=BW029=]: Cilan screaming like a little girl will leave you in tears.

* The Mistralton City gym involves [[HumanCannonball getting into cannons and blasting yourself around the gym.]] The second-to-last cannon shoots you all the way across the gym--and into the facing wall. SPLAT! Even better, you slowly slide down the wall onto the platform beneath. I know there's a trope for slamming into a wall and slowly falling, but I can't for the life of me think of it.

* In Black and White, a female Swimmer in Undella Bay asks you something along the lines of: [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "Did you come to see Cynthia in a bathing suit too?"]] Then, when you win the battle she mentions how often Cynthia swims in the bay.

* Anytime someone messes up Butch's name and him correcting it (many mess ups include Hutch, Buzz, Batch, Klutz, Potch, Mitch, Chuck, Botch, Butcher, Biff, Buffy, Bill, and Bob).

* Anytime someone messes up Butch's name and him correcting it (many mess ups include Hutch, Botch, Butcher, Biff, Buffy, Bill, and Bob).

** Your rival's constant crashings gets kicked up a notch when you are introduced to his father, [[spoiler:Tower Tycoon Palmer]], because ''he also greets you by crashing into you''. ([[GenerationXerox Apparently, it runs in the family. Literally.]]) And then, after commenting on how it's been a while since he saw you and how "he must not be far behind", he runs off... at which point, sure enough, your rival comes running in a couple of seconds later and crashes into you.

* A hilarious yet shocking case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar in Lorelei's showcase episode... "I know what she's doing! It's... it's... ''perverse psychology!''"

* The way Corphish defeats Katie's Golduck in the Hoenn League is this and possibly its CrowningMomentOfAwesome -- managing to listen to Ash while confused, it swims up behind Golduck and... cheerfully shakes its hand. Then uses Vice Grip to shake it harder, then spin it over its head, and finally throw it to the other side of the battlefield to set up for the deciding Bubblebeam. That's right -- Corphish defeated an opponent by [[{{Keet}} being]] [[{{Jerkass}} itself]].

* DP 164, "Pochama (Piplup) Goes Astray!", has a rather brilliant moment that serves as part of the episode's plot. Piplup always ends up on the receiving end of Gible's failed Draco Meteor attacks, and eventually has a go at it. When Gible then decides to try to nom on Piplup's head... well, let's just say that the penguin Pokémon [[http://www.filb.de/anime/eppics/dp/164/page/2 finally]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmjSDkZXPzk snaps (Skip to 3:20 for the scene in question)]]. This is followed up by Piplup envisioning Ash and Dawn scolding Gible, and how Piplup sees Dawn.

* The various times Jigglypuff put the crew to sleep. Good times... good times...
* Probably not intended, but this troper found it hilarious and started laughing (through tears, since this troper is very over-emotional) when, in the Japanese version of the episode where Ash gave away Gliscor (this troper hadn't seen the English version yet), Ash was smiling as he was giving it away in a very "It's finally gone, gone, gone... I'm finally alone again..." way.

* In the ninth episode of ''Best Wishes'', the beginning shows Axew's first onscreen battle. Cilan's Pansage... beats it in a CurbstompBattle while still going VERY easy on the little dragon.

* All of the Giovanni fantasies that Meowth comes up with to convince Jessie and James why capturing each episode's featured Pokémon is a good idea. Just... everything about them. The often ludicrous content of them (especially the ones with chibi!Giovanni), the fact that they exist at all, the fact that Jessie and James almost always find them convincing somehow...

* ''Claydol, Big and Tall'': the gang and Team Rocket dress up in different costumes to distract the giant Claydol, and the Claydol fell in love with... '''Wobbuffet in a MAID COSTUME!!'''
* There is a place in the anime called... [[UnfortunateNames *snicker*]]... ''Hop Hop Hop Town!''

* Jessie catching Seviper ''[[BeyondTheImpossible without using a single Pokémon]]''... and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTUMMxtMhGQ succeeding]]!

* ''Wheel Of Frontier'': it's NarmCharm, since it managed to be both Funny and Awesome, but Snorlax snags a win for Ash... by literally ''flattening'' Greta's Medicham!

* ''Love at First Flight'': Brock's "girl-radar" '''fails''' and he starts going after... Ash in his [[RunningGag second crossdressing stint]].

* On several occasions during the Diamond & Pearl seasons, Cynthia is shown to be rather... indecisive when it comes to snacks. The first time this happens, it prompts Meowth to comment: "Imagine her at the grocery store!"

* "Hey Kid, wanna see my Pokémon?" infinitely more funny if you imagine the speaker as a creepy child-molester-type.

-->'''*damage is dealt to Hitmonlee* '''

* [=HeartGold/SoulSilver=] has one in the underground path between Cerulean and Vermilion. There's a guy who starts the conversation by assuring us he's not a bad man, then starts going on about how places like this attract bad people and how ''angry'' it makes him. If you bought a [=RageCandyBar=] in Mahogany Town, he'll notice it and ask for it, and if you give it to him (which, [[ChekhovsGun seeing as how it's just been taking up space in your Key Items pocket]], is a good idea) he'll appear to get angry at how good it is. He'll then thank you by giving you [=TM64=], which contains, in his words,

* From Pokémon XD, we have the nonsense that is the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Hexagon Brothers]]. The first time you meet them, they try to count off, but the one counting forgets to count himself, resulting in them waiting for the "sixth" one to show up. Next time, they stand in a circle and count, resulting in counting several of them more than once, and suspicions of spies. When you meet them the last time, they've finally learned to count (Backwards.) but are now trying to impersonate the [[GlamourFailure same person]].

* Any time an enemy [=~Pokémon~=] uses Selfdestruct or Explosion when you have a Ghost-type out. There was one trainer in ''[=~Pokémon Stadium~=] 2'' that liked to use such moves until it became a 1-on-1 battle, and this troper managed to end up with the final pairing being the rental Haunter vs. the opponent's Forretress. With all of the enemy's attack moves being either Bug type (which does 1/4 damage to Haunter) or Normal type (which does none) and the rental Haunter's only direct attack move being the Grass-type Giga Drain (which does only 1/4 damage to Forretress and has horrible PP) the battle more or less came down to repeatedly using Spite on the Forretress to run it out of PP until it had no choice but to use Explosion. Most lol-rific victory ''ever''.

** Your rival's constant crashings gets kicked up a notch when you are introduced to his father, [[spoiler:Tower Tycoon Palmer]], because ''he also does so by crashing into you''. ([[GenerationXerox Apparently, it runs in the family. Literally.]]) And then, after commenting on how it's been a while since he saw you and how "he must not be far behind", he runs off... at which point, sure enough, your rival comes running in a couple of seconds later and crashes into you.

* In Black and White, a female Swimmer in Undella Bay asks you something along the lines of: [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "Did you come to see Cynthia in a bathing suit too?"]] Then when you win the battle she mentions how often Cynthia swims in the bay.

* The episode where James is trying to avoid being dragged back to his mansion home by Jessie and Meowth. He stalls with a tragic story about running away in his childhood, in the winter, with only his faithful Growlithe by his side. [[SnowMeansDeath Somehow it ends with him freezing to death]]. [[spoiler: Dog of Flanders, anyone?]] Cue the heartwrenching music and [[OcularGushers waterfall tears]].

* Even though it's been used for {{Shipping}} proof, this exchange from ''Poké Ball Peril'' is hilarious. To set it up, Ash and Misty, who are traveling without Brock have been captured by Team Rocket and the TerribleTrio takes notice:
-->'''James''': Jessie, I think we've accidentaly captured a pair of very romantic creatures in our little cage!

* During one of Team Rocket's thefts at a clinic (in the AG episode ''Delcatty Got Your Tongue?''), they dress up as Swiss hikers (ridiculous accent included) with Meowth practically mummified in bandages:

* It probably [[{{Narm}} wasn't SUPPOSED to be funny]], but dubs mess all sorts of things up. In the tenth movie after everyone realizes that Darkrai is [[spoiler: the good guy]], Ash says "I'm sorry, Darkrai!" Darkrai glares. (The way Ash says it sounds kind of fake, and boy can Darkrai tell.)
* The way Corphish defeats Katie's Golduck in the Hoenn League is this and possibly its CrowningMomentOfAwesome -- managing to listen to Ash while confused, it swims up behind Golduck and...cheerfully shakes its hand. Then uses Vice Grip to shake it harder, then spin it over its head, and finally throw it to the other side of the battlefield to set up for the deciding Bubblebeam. That's right -- Corphish defeated an opponent by [[{{Keet}} being]] [[{{Jerkass}} itself]].

-->'''Misty''': [[IncrediblyLamePun Ann Ananas]]. (Anne Pineapple, also a possible [[ActorAllusion refence to Anna Book]], the voice actress)
--->'''Ash''': Tom Atsås. (Tom Atosauce)

* In DP 157, "Gotta Get A Gible!" Gible is caught by one of Team Rocket's HumongousMecha. They jump over a canyon to get away from Ash, and he runs to the point where he ALMOST makes it over the canyon when he jumps. Ash used [=ExtremeSpeed=]! [=ExtremeSpeed=] missed!

* DP 164, "Pochama (Piplup) Goes Astray!" has a rather brilliant moment that serves as part of the episodes plot. Piplup always ends up on the receiving end of Gible's failed Draco Meteor attacks, and eventually has a go at it. When Gible then decides to try to nom on Piplup's head... well let's just say that the penguin Pokémon [[http://www.filb.de/anime/eppics/dp/164/page/2 finally]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmjSDkZXPzk snaps (Skip to 3:20 for the scene in question)]]. This is followed up by Piplup envisioning Ash and Dawn scolding Gible, and how Piplup sees Dawn.
** Not to mention that, when Piplup snaps out of its delusion, we see that it's actually been nuzzling up against ''[[HoYay Pikachu]]'', who is just sitting there with a -_- look on its face. It then pats Piplup on the head in a "there there" sort of way, then runs off to be with Ash, Dawn, and Brock.

* In the episode "Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!" the main villain is a Togepi that's causing trouble. It's used Attract to take over Pikachu, Piplup, Croagunk, and Meowth. Brock's solution? Call out Happiny to smack all four of them back to normal.

* In the ending to "For The Love Of Meowth!", for the sake of his Glameow love interest, [[spoiler:Meowth takes down Seviper, Infernape, Togekiss and Yanmega ''using Fury Swipes''.]] Then [[spoiler:Glameow evolves into Purugly, and when Meowth figures out, various things break down, such as a building, a big heart, and even a statue of himself!]] Hilarious.

* The episode "True Blue Swablu!" has a scene in which the group try to help a injured Swablu it's confidence to fly back by saying that May's Beautifly uses a 'magic powder' that grants those coated in it the power of flight. After Swablu 'tries' it and starts flying again, Ash and Pikachu attempt the same thing:

** And from the same episode, when Team Rocket steal the Swablu, May tells it to use Sing on them. Before they all fall asleep, James tells Cacnea to use Pin Missile. It falls asleep and into the balloon basket - then unleashes the attack, resulting on Jessie and James getting their asses spiked, and Meowth and Wobbuffet having their heads needled. Needless to say this wakes them all up, and when James tries to get Cacnea to stop, he finds that it's using the attack WHILST asleep and thus can't make it stop. Not until it damages the balloon anyway.

* The various times Jigglypuff put the crew to sleep. Good times...good times...

* Anything Byron says in ''Dealing With Defensive Types''. Played as an [[LargeHam ENORMOUS Ham]] by DanGreen, and constantly yelling about how much he loves things, such as his Steelix, Defense and Fossils. Complete with [[StuffBlowingUp random explosions]] every time he proclaims his love.

---> ''' Byron:''' I don't believe it!*long pause* I love this hole *everyone else collapses*

---> '''Byron:''' It can't be! *points to other hole* Closer examination reveals this hole was [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything dug by]] [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann a machine]].*everyone else collapses*

* In the ninth episode of ''Best Wishes'', the beginning shows Axew's first onscreen battle. Cilan's Pansage...beats it in a CurbstompBattle while still going VERY easy on the little dragon.

* All of the Giovanni fantasies that Meowth comes up with to convince Jessie and James why capturing each episode's featured Pokémon is a good idea. Just...everything about them. The often ludicrous content of them (especially the ones with chibi!Giovanni), the fact that they exist at all, the fact that Jessie and James almost always find them convincing somehow...

* From ''Hocus Pokémon'': [[spoiler: Ash gets turned into a Pikachu.]] Enough said.

* ''Claydol, Big and Tall'': the gang and Team Rocket dress up in different costumes to distract the giant Claydol, and the Claydol fell in love with...'''Wobbuffet in a MAID COSTUME!!'''
* There is a place in the anime called...[[UnfortunateNames *snicker*]]...''Hop Hop Hop Town!''

* Jessie catching Seviper ''[[BeyondTheImpossible without using a single Pokémon]]''...and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTUMMxtMhGQ succeeding]]!

* ''Wheel Of Frontier'': it's NarmCharm, since it managed to be both Funny and Awesome, but Snorlax snags a win for Ash...by literally ''flattening'' Greta's Medicham!

* ''Love at First Flight'': Brock's "girl-radar" '''fails''' and he starts going after...Ash in his [[RunningGag second crossdressing stint]].

* On several occasions during the Diamond & Pearl seasons, Cynthia is shown to be rather...indecisive when it comes to snacks. The first time this happens, it prompts Meowth to comment: "Imagine her at the grocery store!"
