** Yotsuba playing with the tape measure, more specifically when she asks a distracted Fuuka to hold it while she gets enough distance and sends the tape flying. Dad was not happy.

--> *blank stare*

* The aftermath of the balloon chapter is hilarious, especially given the ShipTease Azuma introduces, combined with Jumbo's [[http://bato.to/read/_/44388/yotsubato_v10_ch65_by_veers/3 crush on Asagi]]:
--> '''Koiwai''': "If I tell Jumbo that I went out with Asagi, he's gonna be pissed."

--> '''Jumbo''': "''LIKE THIIIS!?''"

-->'''Miura:''' Even though he's not a living thing...Since he's a robot...
* Volume 11 adds a bonus section to chapter 72, featuring Yotsuba, Dad, and Jumbo hiding when Yanda comes round. Badly. And then Yanda hides himself ''too''.
** There's also this:
-->'''Yotsuba''': But Daddy ate so much that he turned into Full Belly Man.
-->'''Jumbo''': What does he do when he's Full Belly Man?
-->'''Yotsuba''': He doesn't move.

-->'''Koiwai:''' Remember last year when we went to visit Grandpa when he was in the hospital? It's like that.
-->'''Yotsuba:''' Oh. You mean when everyone was wearing black, and all the people were saying "Our prayers are with you"? I got in lots of trouble.
-->'''Koiwai:''' That was the old man next door's funeral.
** Yotsuba attempting a courtesy call with Juralumin and Asagi, and ''sort of'' gets it(but also shows she's still confusing it with the old man's funeral).
-->'''Yotsuba:''' Asagi! Here! ''(holds up her "gifts")'' Ramen and burrs. Our prayers are with you in this difficult time.
-->'''Asagi:''' ''(confused)'' What is this?
* In Chapter 80, the HalloweenEpisode, Fuuka wonders if Halloween being a Christian holiday [[InsaneTrollLogic means it was invented by Jesus.]] When she's told it's not, she guess it was probably someone else, like '''Gandhi.'''
* Yotsuba and Ena pretend to be fancy ladies while camping:
-->'''Ena''': Lady Yotsuba, dost thine eyes see what lies thither?
-->'''Yotsuba''': Heavens, what could it be? My stars, it's a river! It looks ever so refreshing!

-->'''Yotsuba''': Is this where hillbillies live?
-->'''Miura''': Heavens, that won't do at all. A lady of your stature saying such things.
-->'''Yotsuba''': Goodness! You must forgive me.
* Yotsuba, Ena and Miura playing in the hammock.
** Then when Mr. Koiwai wants them to help with dinner, Yotsuba asks him to push them again and, without saying a word, he unceremoniously flips the entire hammock over.
* Miura standing behind everyone else and ringing her bear bell... at a cat.

** Kowai's perfect description of Yotsuba to Fuuka:
-->'''Kowai''': If you see a girl that makes you think "it's a weirdo!", that's probably her.

--> Yotsuba attempting a courtesy call with Juralumin and Asagi, and ''sort of'' gets it(but also shows she's still confusing it with the old man's funeral).

** Also a mix of CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, when the Flower Cupid came home to heaven.

* Chapter 76 is melancholy, as Yotsuba is lamenting over Juralumin no longer speaking. Fuuka decides she'll pretend to be Juralumin by proxy as a way to cheer her up. Yotsuba's "what the heck is your deal?" look is priceless.

** Ena first countering Yotsuba, teaching her how to play on the swings and checks up on her seconds after she's left her... and sees Yotsuba ''really high up''.

** Fuuka's first encounter of Yotsuba... is when the latter is ''climbing up an utility pole'', pretending to be a cicada. She then exclaims, "[[CallBack It's a weirdo!]]"

** Yotsuba playing with the tape measure, more specifically when she asks a distracted Fuuka to hold it while she gets enough distance and sends the tape flying. Dad was not happy.

* Asagi's CD's for her father in chapter 14.

** Yanda is introduced and he begins instant rivalry with Yotsuba. [[PokeThePoodle He bites her ice cream,]] she trolls his phone conversation, and then he prank calls her. Basically, their first meeting introduces the funniest rivalry ever.

* [[http://bato.to/read/_/44382/yotsubato_v9_ch59_by_veers/30 Chapter 59]] that one should never be Yotsuba's (or Duralumin's) enemy.

* Miura standing behind everyone else and ringing her bear bell... at a cat.
* In the HalloweenEpisode, Fuuka wonders if Halloween being a Christian holidays [[InsaneTrollLogic means it was invented by Jesus.]] When she's told it's not, she guess it was probably someone else, like '''Gandhi'''

-->'''Yotsuba''': [[TemptingFate ''(holds up her hands)'']] My hands?

** Fuuka's first encounter of Yotsuba... is when the latter is ''climbing up an utility pole'', pretending to be a cicada. She then exclaims, "[[CallBack It's a weirdo!]]]"

* Fuuka getting stuck in the Koiwais' bathroom window... not long after Koiwai did the exact same thing.
*** And then being made fun of by Asagi, who also brings out Ena just to have a good laugh.

** Jumbo's whole introduction.
*** This exchange between he and [[LoveAtFirstSight Asagi]].

--> *blank stare*
*** His random "GAOO!" at Ena, followed by her running away and tripping.

-->'''Koiwai, Jumbo, Fuka''': ........

--->'''Caption''': Yotsuba's swimming dojo - unsuccessful.

* Chapter 30 has Yanda's introduction and his instant rivalry with Yotsuba. [[PokeThePoodle He bites her ice cream,]] she trolls his phone conversation, and then he prank calls her. Basically, their first meeting introduces the funniest rivalry ever.

* Yotsuba [[http://www.mangareader.net/132-54916-23/yotsubato/chapter-67.html headbanging]].
* Pretty much the entirety of [[http://www.mangareader.net/yotsubato/69/24 Chapter 69 pt 2]], but special mention goes to Miura's little attempt at wisdom on the first page:
-->'''Miura:''' Robot or not, all living things must die
-->beat
-->'''Miura:''' Even though he's not a living thing...Since he's a robot...

* [[http://bato.to/read/_/44382/yotsubato_v9_ch59_by_veers/30 Chapter 59]] that one should never be Yotsuba's (or Duralumin's) enemy. .

* In an early volume, Yotsuba showing off the cicadas she and her friends caught to their mom - [[HilarityEnsues by opening the box of bugs, setting them free inside their house]]. It brought back memories of the many similar mistakes of this troper's childhood.
** "After that we went cicada hunting in Ena's house."
* This troper about busted a gut with laughing through the chapter when Yotsuba decides to take revenge on the neighbors with her water pistol.
** ...[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming and when the Flower Cupid came home to heaven]].
** ...and when she revealed to Dad what tsukutsukuboshi ''really'' are.
* Chapter 7 when Koiwai randomly put the underwear on his head. That and everything else involving "Pants Man!!" (A.K.A. "Boxer Man")
** I still giggle thinking about Pants Man's later nemesis, Bare-Butt Man. Yotsuba's [[CaptainObvious sense of humor is]], well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin so five-years-old]].
* Jumbo's whole introduction.

** And his random "GAOO!" at Ena.
*** And then Ena running away and tripping.
*** And when Ena tells her family about the 'huge guy' they know EXACTLY who she's talking about.

* How about when they went to the zoo together?
--> '''Yotsuba''': "OHHHHH! You can tell what the elephant is saying!?"
--> '''Yotsuba's Dad''': "You bet I can! What else is a translator for? ''I am an elephant! From Africaaa!''"
--> '''Yotsuba (reading from sign)''': "In. Di. An. Ele. Phant."
--> '''Yotsuba's Dad''': "[[VisibleSilence ...]] Okay, sorry. Daddy was making that up."
** Or even the "It's HUGE!" moment at the zoo.
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Or Yotsuba punching the goat]].
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Or when her dad's biting her head]].
* Any time Koiwai and Jumbo face off. Like when they were playing Badminton.
-->'''Koiwai''': KIEEE!!
-->'''Jumbo''': KUAAAA!!
-->'''Koiwai''': CHOO
-->'''Jumbo''': CHAA
-->'''Koiwai''': HAUAAA
-->'''Jumbo''': HOIYAA
-->'''Yotsuba''': [[GetOnWithItAlready Hurry up and play]].
-->'''Koiwai & Jumbo''': Ok. Sorry.
* Most of the pool chapter.

** Not to mention Yotsuba as swimming instructor.
--->'''Yotsuba''': Let's start with pike.
--->'''Koiwai, Jumbo, Fuka''': ........
--->'''Yotsuba''': You have to think about the fish!

* And the farm chapter.

** Yotsuba trips and falls down the hill, smashing her head on a sheep. Both Yanda and Jumbo laugh at her, but Yotsuba just does a grumpy victory sign to Yanda. And then she apologises to the sheep, it attacks her with its head, and ''then'' Yotsuba punches it in the face.
** When Yotusba is going to punch a cow to prove to Yanda that she's not a coward.
** And every other chapter with Yanda. [[PokeThePoodle Like when he bit her ice cream.]] Or when he prank called her. Basically, their first meeting introduces the funniest rivalry ever.
*** '''THIS POOP IS DELICIOUS!'''
* The section in chapter 2 when Fuka gets stuck in the Koiwais' bathroom window.
** And then made fun of by Asagi.
* "BUTT!"

* The whole series is pure Crowning Moment of Heartwarming with a Crowning Moment of Funny filling, but if I must pick one, it's the Finnish translation of the cicada scene in the first chapter. Yotsuba says "Olen kaskas" ("I'm a cicada"), which isn't funny yet. The thing is, "kas kas" is a common way to say "is that so?", which is exactly what Fuka says next, making this an [[IncrediblyLamePun epicly lame pun]]. I must have been laughing for half an hour straight. It's like Kiyohiko Azuma wrote the line expecting the eventual Finnish translation.
* [[http://koiwai.biz/eng/v7/ch47/47_27120x176_jpg.htm The faces Yanda makes when Yotsuba is trying to get a ticket from a toll booth (and poor Yotsuba's subsequent reactions.)]]. Also, [[http://koiwai.biz/eng/v7/ch47/47_13120x176_jpg.htm Yotsuba's facial expression which needs a corresponding emoticon. NOW.]]
--> '''Yanda [[ItMakesSenseInContext (to a cow)]]''': [[http://koiwai.biz/eng/v7/ch48/48_21120x172_jpg.htm Your face is huge.]]
* The aftermath of the balloon chapter is hilarious, especially given the ShipTease Azuma introduces, combined with Jumbo's [[http://koiwai.biz/eng/v10/ch65/65_03_png.htm crush on Asagi]]:

** Or a bit [[http://koiwai.biz/eng/v10/ch65/65_06_png.htm later]]:

* Yotsuba discovering [[IncrediblyLamePun the bitter truth]] about [[http://koiwai.biz/eng/v9/ch58/58_02_jpg.htm coffee]].
* This Troper has to say, in his opinion "Yotsuba & the Stars" has some of the funniest stuff in the series. From her blinding herself with the "Yotsuba Beam!" and stumbling backwards into a trash can, blaming Yanda, to Koiwai asking Yotsuba if she knows any stars:
--> '''Koiwai''': Are there any stars you know, Yotsuba?
--> '''Yotsuba''': There is!
--> '''Koiwai''': Oh, which one?
--> '''Yotsuba''': Um... that bright, pretty one.
--> ''*Yotsuba points up at the sky*''
--> '''Koiwai''': Which star is it?
--> ''*Next panel*''
--> '''Yotsuba''': Earth.
* Pop quiz! What's something you go see, is large and round, and flies through the air?
--> '''Yotsuba''': A [[{{Gamera}} turtle]]!
* When Yotsuba watches too many gangster movies and goes on a water pistol-toting rampage. From squirting down her own father in cold blood, to taking out one of Ena's teddy bears (while sparing Ena because she doesn't kill innocents), to the part where [[CoolBigSis Asagi]] gets the drop on her and gives her a taste of her own medicine.
* Sorry, but all of the above are subordinate to the absolute KING of all CMOF's: Jumbo [[http://koiwai.biz/eng/v4/ch23/23_36120x177_jpg.htm going berserk]] when he finds out Miura is going to Hawaii.
-->'''Jumbo:''' And now our little princess will perform a hula dance!
-->'''Ena:''' ''<clap> <clap> <clap>''
-->'''Miura:''' STOP THAT!
* Chapter 67: Yotsuba finds an electric razor and immediately tests it out on Jumbo's beard. [[RapeOfTheLock Jumbo is horrified.]]
* Yotsuba [[http://www.mangareader.net/132-54916-23/yotsubato/chapter-67.html headbanging]].
* Pretty much the entirety of [[http://www.mangareader.net/yotsubato/69/24 Chapter 69 pt 2]], but special mention goes to Miura's little attempt at wisdom on the first page:
-->'''Miura:''' Robot or not, all living things must die
-->beat
-->'''Miura:''' Even though he's not a living thing...Since he's a robot...
* Yanda's arrival in [[http://koiwai.biz/eng/v6/ch41/41_14120x175_jpg.htm Chapter 41]] and Yotsuba's reaction:
-->'''Yotsuba:''' A nasty guy arrived!
-->'''Jumbo:''' Ah true, a nasty guy arrived.
-->'''Koiwai:''' A nasty guy arrived.
-->'''Yanda:''' ...Give me a break.
** A little later, they take a break and Jumbo gets hamburgers. In an adorable, and hilarious, moment, Yotsuba maliciously eats hers at Yanda, who only had cup ramen.
* Yotsuba drops her newly-acquired teddy bear from a hot air balloon. Lesson about taking better care of one's possessions? Not... quite.
-->'''Torako:''' ''(stunned)'' '''''IT LANDED ON ITS FEET!'''''
* "DAMN YOU, YANDA!"
** '' '''NEVER COME BACK.''' ''
* Yotsuba playing with the tape measure, more specifically when she asks a distracted Fuuka to hold it while she gets enough distance and sends the tape flying. Dad was not happy.
* [[http://koiwai.biz/eng/v9/ch59/59_30_png.htm This page]]. Never be Yotsuba's (or Duralumin's) enemy.
* [[http://koiwai.biz/eng/v2/ch11/11_07120x174_jpg.htm This]] particular translation of a certain page (read the comments section).
* When Yotsuba is shopping for ramen, she says, "With this much, I figure even if I ate it once a week, I could still have it every day." Another shopper has a hilarious look on her face as she tries to comprehend that sentence.

* Chapter 13 has Yotsuba stalking her prey, Fuuka's reaction to the frog, Koiwai's visitor, and the ReactiveContinuousScream from Miura, Ena and Yotsuba at the end.
* In chapter 17:
-->'''Mr. Koiwai''': Very cute! Just like the Literature/LittleMatchGirl.\\
'''Yotsuba:''' Ahh, the one who sets houses on fire?\\
'''Mr. Koiwai''': No, not at all. [-Which one is that?-]

* In the HalloweenEpisode, Fuuka wonders if Halloween being a Christian holidays [[InsaneTrollLogic means it was invented by Jesus.]] When she's told it's not, she guess it was probably someone else, like '''Gandhi'''
* Yotsuba attempts to cure Fuuka's heartbreak in one chapter, after Fuuka has seen her crush hand in hand with another girl; Yotsuba's advice includes such gems as ''"Asagi's never known heartbreak!"'', ''"You have fat legs!"'' and ''"Your thighs are pudgy, too!"''.
* Asagi's CD's for her father in chapter 14.
-->'''Asagi''': Hm... I wasn't thinking when I bought these. Dad... isn't... with us anymore, is he?
-->''[Asagi and Mrs. Ayase look out the window as if mourning his death]''
-->'''Fuuka''': No, no, no. Dad is ''alive''. He's working right now.

* Yotsuba attempts to cure Fuuka's heartbreak in one chapter, after Fuuka has seen her crush hand in hand with another girl; Yotsuba's advice includes such gems as ''"Asagi's never known heartbreak!"'', ''"You have fat legs!"'' and ''"Your thighs are pudgy, too!"''.

** When Yotusba is going to punch a cow to prove Yanda that she's not a coward.
