History Funny / TengenToppaGurrenLagann

* Combined with MoodWhiplash on one occasion. [[spoiler:Simon is arrested, and put in those old-school wooden handcuffs, kind of like a stockade. Cut to the wide angle, and we can see Boota is wearing a smaller but otherwise identical pair of cuffs.]]
* Boota's reaction to [[spoiler:Yoko's return. Just that shot of him running as fast as he can...]]

* ''Lagann-Hen'' has Lordgenome [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY2JzfLU8Ds "hacking"]] Cathedral Lazengann]]. Also a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. The best part is how both before and after the aforementioned scene, he is outwardly TheStoic, as if there is nothing even remotely weird about what he just did.

* In any other context it would be a TearJerker, when [[spoiler:Nia rejects Simon when he proposes to her, as she doesn't fully understand the question at the time]]. But in this series, the total MoodWhiplash makes it hilarious. [[spoiler:Romantic music plays, Simon and Nia are looking over the city as Simon says it's time to move on from their former identities and truly be together, he pulls out the ring, says the actual words, they look into each other's eyes..."NO WAY!"]]

* Yoko's YaoiFangirl moment in episode 3. [[spoiler:Just look at her face after Kamina says "Let's combine!" Twice as funny when you see her disgust a few seconds later]].

* Cytomander's final moments: as he [[VillainousBreakdown completely snaps]], he sets out in in his mech to face Gurren Lagann. [[spoiler: [[AntiClimax And then he gets run over by a newly airborne Dai-Gurren.]]]]

* After the first [[spoiler:Anti-Spiral attacks]], Rossiu activates the newly built biocomputer, revealing it to be [[spoiler:a cloned head of Lordgenome]]. [[NotSoStoic Its first action is, naturally, to loudly yawn.]]

* This line in the dub [[{{Narm}} may not even have been supposed to be funny]], but definitely is (especially thanks the completely serious way it's said):

* We're not sure if this line was exactly the same in the original, or even if it [[{{Narm}} was really supposed to be funny]], but this line of dialogue from the dub was just begging to be added (especially thanks the completely serious way it's said):

* While Thymliph is looking at how many foes they're fighting, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent one of the screens in the background]] is just [[MaleGaze zoomed in on Kiyoh's chest and nothing else]]. Clearly, the Beastmen have the priorities straight.

* The US dub's blooper reel, primarily because it has Creator/SteveBlum - [[Anime/CowboyBebop Steven]] [[Anime/TheBigO Jay]] [[Anime/SamuraiChamploo freaking]] [[Creator/{{Toonami}} Blum]] - ramping up Leeron's CampGay [[UpToEleven and breaking the goddamn knob]]:

** Serves as a CallBack, because Kamina's reaction to meeting Leeron [[NotSoDifferent was the exact same]]!

* [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar The hidden message]] in Leeron's ImageSong which spells out, "[[{{Leitmotif}} Leeron is gay]]. He is gay. He loves my asshole. Asshole."

* ''Lagann-Hen'' has Lordgenome [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY2JzfLU8Ds HAAAKAAAAIIIING]] Cathedral Lazengann]]. Also a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.

--->'''Leeron''': Think of someone hard enough, and you'll be sent straight into their arms! Just thinking of them gives you wings!\\
'''Viral''': *backs up, pulls out knife* Think of me and you '''DIE!'''

* In episode 1, Kamina tries riding a massive herd of molepigs to the surface. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

* Lagann-Hen has Lordgenome [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY2JzfLU8Ds HAAAKAAAAIIIING]] Cathedral Lazengann]]. Also a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
* Also from Lagann-Hen. During the redone dream sequence, Kamina and Simon are chatting away, when Kittan pops out of the box, saying "Hey, hey, don't forget about me!" There's a pause where both of them stare at Kittan, and Kamina breaks the silence with a quirky "who are you again?" with the above-mentioned head tilt just adding icing on the cake.

-->'''Leeron''': Think of someone hard enough, and you'll be sent straight into their arms! Just thinking of them gives you wings!
-->'''Viral''': *backs up, pulls out knife* Think of me and you '''DIE!'''

--->'''Viral''': We took some bad damage just now. That thing is too big. I just don't think our drill is gonna be enough!\\

* The US dub's blooper reel, primarily because it has Creator/SteveBlum - [[Anime/CowboyBebop Steven]] [[Anime/TheBigO Jay]] [[Manga/SamuraiChamploo freaking]] [[Creator/{{Toonami}} Blum]] - ramping up Leeron's CampGay [[UpToEleven and breaking the goddamn knob]]:
--->'''Yoko:''' Ugh, you and your creepy toys.
--->'''Leeron:''' Honey, you couldn't ''handle'' my creepy toys.

--->'''Leeron:''' That's odd, even with the key inserted it's not starting up... but your hamster certainly seems happy.

* [[http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=231552 This]] summary of the series is hilariously spot-on (ads NSFW).

* Episode five, an otherwise gloomy episode, has the little gem of Kamina taunting Rossiu. Father Magin just carries on lecturing while Kamina chants "Man or mouse? Man or mouse?" in the background, oblivious.

* "[[{{Leitmotif}} Leeron is gay]]. He is gay. He loves my asshole. Asshole." Guys, I think Gainax is [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar trying to tell us something]].

* Yoko's YaoiFangirl moment in episode 3. [[spoiler:Just look at her face after Kamina says "Gattai da!" Twice as funny when you see her disgust a few seconds later]].

*** In Japanese, Simon just says that he won't forget what he saw. The dub line is almost funnier in that Simon stating he only saw down to the girls' shoulders is enough to incite Kamina into trying to get a peek.

*** "Ohayo gozaimasu."/"Good morning, sunshine!"

* Everything about Team Guren attempting to eat a bunch of furball Beastmen.

* Let's not forget Dayakka's '''I'VE GOT THE BEST WIFE IN THE UNIVERSE - SWING!!!'''

*** It's especially funny if right after Leeron says it, you pause every frame and look carefully at Viral's face. His hair fluffs up, his eyes get huge...it's hilarious.

* ... THEY PUT ''KITTAN'' IN CHARGE OF ''LEGAL AFFAIRS!''

* Yoko's moment of HypocriticalHumor in episode 12: "What's with those absurd outfits?" (referring to bathing suits, which isn't so different from what ''she'' wears ''all the time''.)

** The cut version is pretty funny too, especially the scene where almost everyone is crammed into Lagann. That includes Yoko and the Black sisters. In swimsuits. Just look at Simon's face when all the boobs (and one ass) are practically shoved right next his face. He's in pure bliss, and it's no coincidence that the resulting BeamSpam is bright pink rather than the usual green.

** The fact that Yoko's swimsuit covers up more than her ''actual outfit''. The guys are, rather understandably, disappointed.

* After the first [[spoiler:Anti-Spiral attacks]], Rossiu activates the newly built biocomputer, revealing it to be [[spoiler:a cloned head of Lordgenome]]. [[NotSoStoic It's first action is, naturally, to loudly yawn.]]

--->'''Yoko:''' Ug, you and your creepy toys.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Myq0y9Fl2A&fmt=18 This]] speaks for itself.
* The uncut version of episode 6 -- the obligatory HotSpringsEpisode -- is absolutely freaking hysterical from start to finish, as it is literally all about Kamina's mission to see Yoko's bare breasts. Highlights include, but are not limited to: Kamina throwing hysterical screaming fits of rage every single time a chance to see the girls naked is snatched away from him; Gimmy sticking his finger ''up Simon's bum'' when ordered by Kamina to "find a hole", sending Simon flying into the air and thus able to see the nude girls for a split-second -- the sight of which prompts Kamina to smack his ''own'' bum repeatedly while demanding that Gimmy stick a finger in it; Kamina's success in eventually getting Simon to join him as an enthusiastic participant (drilling a hole in the wall while singsonging, "Drill drill drill drill...", no less) in the quest to see Yoko's breasts... and that's not even half of it.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6LepFzZgH8 Here's an excerpt]].

* Not to mention Leeron's reaction to Gurren Lagann's drill poking through the top of his seat.
** Also, when the Black Sisters come out wearing bathing suits. [[MySisterIsOffLimits Kittan]] throws himself in front of them and tries to shield them with his body as the other male memebers of team Dai-Gurren ogle them. The girls continue talking about the sea, oblivious.

** And Viral's quote "PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!"

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Myq0y9Fl2A Viral's Sweet Dream]] for [[TheWoobie Viral]].
* An attempt in the manga to reverse the combining process. Kamina tries to create Lagann Gurren, which involves Gurren balancing on Lagann...which is then crushed under its weight.

* "[[{{Leitmotif}} Leeron is gay]]. He is gay. He loves my asshole. Asshole". Guys, I think Gainax is [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar trying to tell us something]].

* Yoko's YaoiFangirl moment in episode 3. [[spoiler: Just look at her face after Kamina says "Gattai da!" Twice as funny when you see her disgust a few seconds later]].

* And, let's not forget Dayakka's '''I'VE GOT THE BEST WIFE IN THE UNIVERSE - SWING!!!'''
* After Yoko's rescued Nia from Adiane, Adiane is standing in the direct center of the Dai-Gurren.

* After the first [[spoiler: Anti-Spiral attacks]], Rossiu activates the newly built biocomputer, revealing it to be [[spoiler: a cloned head of Lordgenome]]. [[NotSoStoic It's first action is, naturally, to loudly yawn.]]

* Episode 7, three words: "...Who are you?" The head tilt just ''makes it''.

* After the first [[spoiler: Anti-Spiral attacks]], Rossiu activates the newly built biocomputer, revealing to be [[spoiler: a cloned head of Lordgenome]]. [[NotSoStoic It's first action is, naturally, to loudly yawn.]]
