* LeeroyJenkins: Shinji calls Asuka a Leeroy in Episode 9.
* LeetSpeak: Misato suggests using [[LeetSpeak Leet Speak]] as part of Jet Alone's current password "hope". Among the suggestions are h0p3 and |-|0p3. She then describes the guy who came up with the password as 2 Du M8 2 liV3.
* MistakenIdentity: In Episode 8, Misato describes Asuka as having "long, red hair, a great figure and a personality you'll die from." All the boys can imagine is [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Yoko Littner]].
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Fuyutsuki's CrowningMomentOfFunny at the end of episode 4:

-->'''Fuyutsuki''': And ''BlackLagoon''...

* NoFourthWall: If it is there, it's on life support.
* NukeEm: The government's idea to take down the Angel after aerial bombardment fails is an N2 mine, just like in the original series. Gendo calls them out on it.

*** Episode 9: "It's still better than [[{{Aquarion}} orgasm powered mechas]]."
*** Episode 9: Asuka emulating [[SuperRobotWars Sanger Zonvolt]].
** The show also has a habit of using bits and pieces of the soundtrack of different anime series, such as LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya and Manga/HayateTheCombatButler.
*** This troper immediately noticed Makoto Yoshimori's highly underrated soundtrack to LightNovel/{{Baccano}}. "In The Speak Easy" introduces Episode 5. When Misato describes Asuka in episode 8, the intro to "Abikyoukan no Kurutta Butai" plays. Shinji listens to the Main Theme, "Nagai Nagai Yume no Naka no Utage" on his cassette player. In addition, "Letter Memory" seems to be some sort of Love Theme throughout the series.
** In episode 7 the "Top Secret File" on NERV has "Kittens with spikes make me mad!" written on it. This is a reference to RedVsBlue, where aforementioned spiky kittens are a major BerserkButton for Caboose.

* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud?: Gendo's an evil bastard and he loves it. Good thing he doesn't know whether he's thinking or talking.
* DidYouActuallyBelieve: Misato laughs at Shinji for believing that Second Impact was caused by a meteor.
* {{Fanservice}}: Episode 2 has a counter for this. It features [[{{Diebuster}} Nono]].
* FailOSuckyname:
--> '''Misato''': Now if you'll sign these papers, we'll install the power cord on the-"
--> '''German Admiral''': Who do you think I am, [[Film/MrsDoubtfire Mrs. Doubtfire]]? We are a proud U.N. Pacific fleet, and as long as we're in the ocean, this ship is in charge.
--> '''Misato''': Oh, and what is your proud ship called again? (Cut to screen showing the ship and it's name: The U.N. Carrier Over The Rainbow)
--> '''German Admiral''': I'll get my pen.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Regarding [[spoiler: Toji's death]], Episode 9:
--> '''Toji''': You know, we been getting a lot of screen time lately.
--> '''Kensuke''': Yeah. Usually that only happens when someone's about to die.
--> '''Toji''': So Aida, when's the funeral?
** Also, when Shinji wakes up in the hospital, and Rei is there:
--> '''Shinji''': Ayanami? Have you been here the whole time?
--> '''Rei''': Affirmative. I have been sitting here, doing nothing, while you were resting. ''You should take note of that''.
* Fridge Brilliance: Shinji says in episode 6 that he doesn't know Strike (Spirit Command in Super Robot Wars).
* FreezeFrameBonus: Excellent example of the writers having fun with this trope in Episode 7.
--> (Text appears on screen for exactly one second as bumper) The Next Day which is stupid if you realize that Episode 5 and 6 took place in the span of one day. yet this piece of crapisode takes 2 whole days to finis- UNPAUSE THE VIDEO! STOP READING THIS!
* GenreSavvy: Gendo notes that giant robots are useful in a mecha anime.
** Particularly against ''[[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant monsters]]''.
** In fact, just about everyone is this, just Gendo especially. Everyone except Shinji that is.
* InsistentTerminology: They're "N2 mines," not ''nukes.''
-->'''Misato''': What's the difference?
-->'''Ritsuko''': One just makes a giant explosion. The other makes ''GraveOfTheFireflies''.
** FridgeLogic: GraveOfTheFireflies is about firebombs, not nukes. They'd have been better off citing BarefootGen.
* IntercontinuityCrossover: Episode 4 crosses over with {{FLCL}}, TengenToppaGurrenLagann, DieBuster and BlackLagoon.
* LargeHam: Shinji's PreMortemOneLiner in episode 6.
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: According to Asuka, Eva unit 02 is red because that makes it [[MobileSuitGundam three times as fast as the others.]]
* LeeroyJenkins: Shinji calls Asuka a Leeroy in Episode 9.
* LeetSpeak: Misato suggests using [[LeetSpeak Leet Speak]] as part of Jet Alone's current password "hope". Among the suggestions are h0p3 and |-|0p3. She then describes the guy who came up with the password as 2 Du M8 2 liV3.
* MistakenIdentity: In Episode 8, Misato describes Asuka as having "long, red hair, a great figure and a personality you'll die from." All the boys can imagine is [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Yoko Littner]].
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Fuyutsuki's CrowningMomentOfFunny at the end of episode 4:
-->'''Gendo''': ...Instead we get this incomprehensible cacophony of in-studio crossovers that barely resembles a plot.
-->'''Fuyutsuki''': And ''BlackLagoon''...
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: In episode 1, Gendo mistakes Shinji for [[{{FLCL}} Naota]], then [[{{TengenToppaGurrenLagann}} Simon]].
* NaughtyTentacles: Touji points out how likely Shinji is to get "pwned" by an angel with laser tentacles considering him being a {{bishonen}}.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: In Episode 9, Misato combines every battle plan they have worked with thus far in order to defeat an angel. She calls it Operation Battleship With Huge Cannon Shooting Laser Knives.
* NoFourthWall: If it is there, it's on life support.
* NukeEm: The government's idea to take down the Angel after aerial bombardment fails is an N2 mine, just like in the original series. Gendo calls them out on it.
* OnlySaneMan: Shinji, when he's not wangsting (or being uncharacteristically HotBlooded), tends act like this.
-->'''Shinji''': ''Seriously, one good leg sweep!''
* {{Otaku}}: Asuka loves Mecha perhaps a little too much. Don't make a Kamen Rider reference and say it's a Mecha franchise.
* OverusedCopycatCharacter: Rei says this about herself.
* ScheduleSlip: The tagline for Konataproduction is "Parodies: New every 6 months."
* ShoutOut: TVTropes, most notably.
-->'''Rei (to Shinji)''': To be more specific, you fit so many negative tropes that they have to break your fragile mind twenty episodes earlier.
-->'''Shinji''': But isn't this a twenty-six episode series?
-->'''Rei''':...Yes.
-->'''Shinji''': Uhh, I didn't like that little pause there. (At this point, the words "lol Gainaxing" flash across the screen) So wait, what do you mean by tropes?
-->'''Rei''': Have you ever heard of the term {{Lampshading}}?
** Run!!! It's [[strike: an angel]] Franchise/{{Godzilla}}!!!
** The [[BlackLagoon Lagoon Company]] gets hired to protect Shinji from Haruko... [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries In America]]!!!
** [[Film/ThePrincessBride "My name is Touji Suzuhara.]] [[DemotedToExtra You killed my screentime.]] [[PrepareToDie Prepare to die!"]].
** Try to name an episode where they ''don't'' reference a mecha anime.
*** [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam "This gun of ours is burning hot! Its loud hum tells us to grasp victory! Take this, our hopes, our dreams, and all of our sorrows!]] [[CallingYourAttacks ERUPTING BURSTING CANNON!"]]
*** Episode 8: Asuka's German startup sequence in Episode 8 is translated to "[[Anime/TheBigO Cast in the name of God...]]"
*** Episode 9: "It's still better than [[{{Aquarion}} orgasm powered mechas]]."
*** Episode 9: Asuka emulating [[SuperRobotWars Sanger Zonvolt]].
** The show also has a habit of using bits and pieces of the soundtrack of different anime series, such as LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya and Manga/HayateTheCombatButler.
*** This troper immediately noticed Makoto Yoshimori's highly underrated soundtrack to LightNovel/{{Baccano}}. "In The Speak Easy" introduces Episode 5. When Misato describes Asuka in episode 8, the intro to "Abikyoukan no Kurutta Butai" plays. Shinji listens to the Main Theme, "Nagai Nagai Yume no Naka no Utage" on his cassette player. In addition, "Letter Memory" seems to be some sort of Love Theme throughout the series.
** In episode 7 the "Top Secret File" on NERV has "Kittens with spikes make me mad!" written on it. This is a reference to RedVsBlue, where aforementioned spiky kittens are a major BerserkButton for Caboose.
** Episode three has a lot of [[SuzumiyaHaruhi classified information]].
** I'm not a major yet, or a [[GhostintheShell cybrog]]
** In episode 5, Unit 00 gets [[CaramelldansenVid Caramelldansen'd]] AND [[RickRoll Rickroll'd]] and, during TheStinger, [[SoulEater it is banging its head on the wall yelling GODDAMNITSHIT!!]]
** Episode 6 has [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokemon hospitals]] complete with in-game sound effects.
* TemporalParadox: [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]] pulls one off in Episode 4
-->'''Kamina''':Anyone who isn't with me has to eat Nia's cooking! (Everybody in room stands and pumps their fists for Kamina)
-->'''Simon''': Bro, aren't you [[spoiler: dead]] by the time Nia gets here? That would cause a time para-
-->'''Kamina''': Only I cause TIME PARADOXES! (punches Simon in the face)
* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: The abridged episode discusses how stupid a password "hope" is for a walking nuclear bomb.
* {{Troperiffic}}: To the point of TropeOverdosed.
* TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary: Rei speaks mostly trope.
* WhoWritesThisCrap: Quoted word-for-word by Misato in episode 7.
