-->'''Kurono:''' God, why is she so into Kato and not ''me''? I'm the dark, moody loner! Have I somehow stumbled into the one anime in history in which the angsty guy ''doesn't'' have girls falling all over him?

'''Kato:''' Not Rule 34 -- ''Law'' ''4''4

** "[[RickRoll Never Gonna Give You Up]]."

'''Red Oni:''' Maybe we're... [[OneOfUs subverting the trope?]]\\

-->[[spoiler: Ryuk: Wow. That was the most elaborate use of the Manga/DeathNote I have ever seen.]]

* GenreSavvy:
** Bishonen Kurono displays hints of this during Episode 18-19.
** DeathByGenreSavvy: The guy who instead chooses to snipe at the enemies from long-range with his guns is killed soon after. Bonus Points: He was killed while saying that 2 guys would have been alive if they were GenreSavvy like him.

** And even to our very own TVTropesWiki.

** [[spoiler: Also to ''NarutoTheAbridgedSeries'' in the form of Mecha Rock Lee and Clucky.]]

-->[[spoiler: Ryuk: Wow. That was the most elaborate use of the Manga/DeathNote I have ever seen]]

* [[spoiler: ShootTheShaggyDog: At the end, after watching all of the friends and comrades he has fought alongside, supported, and bonded with, all horrifically and violently die in front of him, Kurono is the only one left, the only one still alive. He implores Gantz if he is free yet, if he has reached the requisite 100 points. Gantz's response?
-->"[[AC:You get 8 points, total: 46. Almost halfway there!]]"

** System of a Down's "Violent Pornography".
** And AC/DC's 'Big Balls'. [[{{Pun}} Cos that's what Gantz basically is, geddit?]]

-->'''Writer 1''': "She's on the verge of defeating a villain none of the male heroes could beat!"
-->'''Writer 2''': "FIRE THE OPPRESSION LASERS!''"

-->'''Kishimoto:''' So wait, Music/TheMonkees have more cred than Music/SmashMouth?
-->'''Kato:''' Wow, Music/TheMonkees have more cred than someone. It's a sad day for music.

-->'''Kurono:''' All I know is I'm about to wreck up a Buddhist temple like I was Communist China
-->'''Kato:''' Hey, that is ''not cool'', Kurono. The atrocities committed by the Chinese government against the Tibetan people are no laughing matter.
-->'''Kurono:''' Yeah, that was kinda in poor taste, wasn't it? Here, I'll try again: [[Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack ''I'm gonna fuck their mothers while they watch and cry like little bitches!'']] Better?
-->'''Kato:''' Uh...yeah.

-->'''Student''': Sensei, Kurono's got a boner!
-->'''Teacher''': Kurono, did you bring enough erection for the rest of the class?
-->'''Kurono''': ''(Exasperated Sigh)'' No, ma'am, just enough for the girls.

--> '''Kato''': "There's nothing homophobic about not wanting to get raped!"

-->'''Red Oni:''' Wait, you're supposed to be blue.
-->'''Green Oni:''' Oh yeah. What's up with that?
-->'''Red Oni:''' Maybe we're... [[OneOfUs subverting the trope?]]
-->'''Green Oni:''' But then what's my personality? I'm so confused.

Gantz: [[AC:Not happening, dipshit.]]\\

Gantz: [[AC:Because the rest of the show... is filler!]]\\

-->'''Darth Vader:''' [[BigNo NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]]

-->'''Kurono:''' Kato, this is no time for porn! ''(to himself)'' Wow, I never thought I'd hear myself say that.
-->'''Kato:''' Not Rule 34 -- ''Law'' ''4''4

* [[spoiler: ShootTheShaggyDog: At the end, after watching all of the friends and comrades he has fought alongside, supported, and bonded with, all horrifically and violently die in front of him, Kurono is the only one left, the only one still alive.

--> '''Kato''': Pacifism head explosion!!!

* TheStinger: [[spoiler:Which becomes a BrickJoke in The Filler Chronicles]] "[[Manga/DeathNote So what did he say?]]"
-->@@"HE DIDN'T REALLY SAY ANYTHING. HE JUST MADE A STUPID ''PORTAL'' JOKE."@@ "That son-of-a-bitch!"

->"''[[AC:There'll be none of that philosophy shit in ''this'' anime. Takes too much screen time away from sex and violence.]]''"

->"''THERE'LL BE NONE OF THAT PHILOSOPHY SHIT IN ''THIS'' ANIME. TAKES TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME AWAY FROM SEX AND VIOLENCE.''"

--> '''Newscaster''': Between you, me and the wall, it'd be better off with BarryWhite and Jello Shots.

-->'''Kishimoto:''' Oh yeah, shake the injured guy. That's smart. Why don't you slap him around a little while you're at it?
-->'''Kurono:''' Well, if you think it'll help...

** Episode 18-19 is one big shoutout to ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', with Kurono managing to {{Expy}} Kamina.

** And AC/DC's 'Big Balls'. [[IncrediblyLamePun Cos that's what Gantz basically is, geddit?]]

** And Gantz's "Nicknames" for Kurono and Kishimoto: Bitchface and Tits Mcgee respectively.

After Creator/{{hbi2k}} completed ''WebVideo/BerserkAbridged'', he decided to take his [[TheAbridgedSeries abridging skills]] to another really bloody {{Anime}}. Thus, he chose ''{{Gantz}}''. As of 12/29/2008, it became one of the few Abridged Series to finish (save for the {{Filler}} episodes, which were done as of 08/17/2010). Another was the aforementioned WebVideo/BerserkAbridged. Most recently, hbi2k has made one more episode called GAS: TFC, which is split into two parts that portray the filler part of the anime.
