History Funny / YugiOh

** Joey attempts to save one of his attacked monsters with Roulette Spider, and he begs for a good roll. A member of the audience cheers him with a "We believe in you, Joey!" right as he rolls a 1. He blames the audience for jinxing him.

'''Grandpa''': Who me?\\

'''Grandpa''': Well, I'd like to see you duel in 50 years!

** Related, but he power of the Millennium Ring is contained... by a backpack. When Rex and Weevil open it up, thinking it held the Egyptian God Cards, the Ring floats away on its own and returns to Yami Bakura. Something it apparently couldn't do (or ''chose'' not to do) when held back by polyester and a zipper.

* The artwork of Summon Gate, which shows the recently-unbanned Thousand-Eyes Restrict cheekily waving goodbye to a whole bunch of imprisoned Forbidden (in the OCG) monsters.

'''Bonz:''' ''(Extremely annoyed look as everyone else laughs at him)''
*** What's particularly hilarious about this comeback is that Keith and his other two goons [[ActuallyPrettyFunny didn't just find this funny]], they actually ''agree'' with Joey that Bonz's face is the scariest thing there and even confess that Bonz creeps ''[[WithFriendsLikeThese them]]'' out sometimes.

---> '''Joey:''' Okay, I ''was'' afraid, but not 'cause of the graveyard or your ooga-booga rap--it's your creepy ''face'' that gave me the willies!\\

* Princess Adena, a female Mokuba who shows up in said episodes. As pointed out by Joey, the fact that she looks like Mokuba reflects the game's creator vision of him. In the original, the game was created by the Big 5 (so they basically see their VP as a helpless sacrificial princess). Already pretty funny, but the dub takes it UpToEleven, since in the dub, the game was created by none other than ''Seto Kaiba''.

'''Joey:''' Some stuck-up rich boy got the tins early. He said he didn't want this card because [[StealthInsult it reminded him of me.]] [[VideoGame/YuGiOhDuelLinks And he also said something about third-rate duelists and fourth-rate decks]]. [[ObliviousMockery I don't really remember why, I stopped listening to him after he gave me the card]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRwZiYiZzDQ During the start of Jaden and Aster's scripted duel]], when Jaden first sees Aster, he asks if he tried any egg sandwiches yet. Aster is slightly exasperated of the food being Jaden's priority.

* The Pharaoh matter-of-factly told Kaiba (of the present) that his father and Priest Seto's father were brothers. Kaiba is just about as done and annoyed as one would expect.
-->'''Kaiba:''' Are you saying we're cousins?

* There's a subtle running gag where in group shots with taller characters, Yami Yugi's hair [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/b501daa069039ba0bbb1becb32d7afe2/302798cb5d2d114d-29/s1280x1920/e3b652489943ba0be958293acd7f1d9672d94b95.jpg pokes up from the bottom of the panel]] with the rest of him not visible. Oddly, it doesn't seem to affect Yugi, even though of course they're the same height.

* The artwork of [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Monster_Reborn_Reborn Monster Reborn Reborn]] is a hilarious piece that pokes fun at how Monster Reborn has two different pieces of art, with the Japanese art standing proudly over a ''massive'' pile filled with dozens of copies of the Western art. The [[StylisticSuck deliberate low-quality]] is so disarming that [[PoesLaw it almost looks like a fake card at first]].

** Another Kuriboh moment happens when Yugi witnesses Kaiba summon Obelisk The Tormentor during his double duel with Yugi. Yugi is obviously petrified of it, but Kuriboh (which had previously been summoned and is the only monster on Yugi's side of the field) looks like it can't help but bask in its awesomeness.
** Yet another Kuriboh moment happens during Yugi and Bakura's duel in Battle City: To stop Bakura's Dark Sanctuary from making his monsters attack him, the Pharaoh plays a card that draws all equip spell effects into Kuriboh. This manifests into the spirit of the dark sanctuary going inside Kuriboh... and ''also'' Dark Magician Girl's Magic Formula, in the form of the book falling into Kuriboh's hands, and the little guy promptly starts reading it with interest. A cut later, however, Kuriboh looks completely confused by the book's content.

* "The History of Yu-Gi-Oh!", a video series in which Yugioh [=YouTubers=] Cimo and MBT look back at old formats of the game and play with only the cards available during that time frame, brings us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vC5rS7IOlc Cimo foreseeing his own downfall]] as if he had the Millennium Necklace.

* There's a subtle running gag where in group shots with taller characters, Yami Yugi's hair pokes up from the bottom of the panel with the rest of him not visible. Oddly, it doesn't seem to affect Yugi, even though of course they're the same height.

* In part 3 of the Yugi vs. Kaiba rematch in Battle City. Kaiba hastily summons Obelisk the Tormentor, only to forget about Slifer's second effect which greatly weakens Obelisk. The crowner is that Slifer ''laughs at Obelisk and Kaiba for it''!!
