2This may be [[DarkerAndEdgier one of the most intense Sentai seasons]], but it doesn't mean it's free of humor.
3
4* Episode 1:
5** When Radiguet announces the coming of the Vyram, he projects his image in the sky over the cities, [[DoNotAdjustYourSet TV sets and computer screens]], mirrors... And inside a ''coffee mug''. [[SpitTake The guy who was drinking it spits in disgust]].
6** When Ryu and Chief Odagiri go to recruit Kaori, we are treated to Ryu attempts to get her help ''saving Rie'' and then blurting out that Earth is already done (at this point the chief takes over) and Kaori [[{{Malaproper}} constantly mispronouncing Jetman as "gentleman"]].
7** Raita and Kaori first morph while falling off a cliff, and start flying up... [[HowDoIShootWeb But have no idea what they're doing or how]]. HilarityEnsues.
8** Raita's motivation to join the Jetmen: the first MonsterOfTheWeek and the [[{{Mooks}} Grinam Soldiers]] that materialized in his farm [[ItsPersonal have destroyed his vegetable patch as soon as they arrived]].
9* Episode 2:
10** Ako's EstablishingCharacterMoment: having just realized she had received an increase in her physical abilities (but not knowing she was a Jetman yet), she makes an extraordinary jump at school... [[HighSchoolHustler And when the P.E. teacher tries to have her take part to competitions she demands 2,000 yen]].
11*** When Kaori and Raita try and recruit her, she says it would be a wonderful thing to defend Earth... And then demands 1,500 yen, only to make a priceless face when [[UnclePennybags Kaori promptly cuts her a check for ten millions]].
12** Gai's face whenever he uses more strength than intended.
13** Black Condor's GroinAttack on one of the mooks, and it flailing around in agony afterward.
14* Episode 3:
15** The whole TrainingFromHell scene at the start.
16** How does Gai kills time? Flirting with policewomen and, when they don't talk to him, ''running red lights so they'll talk with him''. He then tries to get a date when they stop him to fine him... At least until Ryu cockblocks him. Even moreso, his line of cockblocking just ''screams'' of HoYay for a guy who was definitely straight and just coping at the loss of his girlfriend.
17--->''"Behave yourself, Gai. I'll date you."''
18** During the battle against Faucet Dimension, Raita throws a boulder in his face, hurting it... And then [[AgonyOfTheFeet the boulder falls on its foot]].
19* Episode 7 - Ryu's grandma foils Maria's plan - [[HoistByHisOwnPetard by trapping her with a mirror]].
20* Ramen Jigen from Episode 10. Just seeing a ramen-cup kaijin run around was crazy. Also bonus points for the jingle sung by both Rika Kishida (Kaori's actress) and Sayuri Uchida (Ako's actress).
21** To turn it up to eleven, there's also the fact that Raita ''ate'' that ramen and became crazy angry and impatient about everything, basically becoming a Sentai version of LeeroyJenkins - he shoves Ryu out of the way to call the Jet Machines, he rants about wanting to form Jet Icarus already... and eventually when Jet Icarus ''is'' complete, he had to be tied up in the cockpit so he wouldn't interfere and do something stupid.
22** Before this, though is the fact that right as the Jetmen are about to blast him to bits with the Bird Bomber, the monster just falls down and dies of a previously established WeaksauceWeakness.
23** Worth mentioning that the episode in question is written by Naruhisa Arakawa, known mainly for making funny storylines in the history of Super Sentai, and this is his first written episode in his career, no less.
24** The ''Jetman'' tribute in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' implies that the Ako-chan Ramen business somehow, despite Ramen Jigen-induced side effects, and against all other odds, continued to thrive, or at least was revived, after this episode, and even twenty years on. Even funnier, you learn this in the otherwise somber GraveMarkingScene where Gai's surviving teammates have left offerings from each of them. No points for guessing what Ako's offering was, meaning she, likely during her idol career, appropriated it for her image.
25* Episode 11 as well - the episode with the Vending Machine Jigen. Seeing Ryu being a lazy ass = LOL. Extra [=LOLs=] for seeing 'Goody-Two-Shoes' Gai. Not falling far behind are {{Jerkass}} Raita who fails at being like Gai, spoiled Kaori who can't go a scene without mentioning money or her status in some way, and overly-emotional Ako who ponders on the short lives of flowers and cries if she isn't saying how sorry she is.
26** GameOver
27* Dryer Jigen from Episode 28 in spades.
28* Episode 36. IdiotBall gets dropped on Ryū as he tried to look for a stray monkey... then Gai turns him into an AccidentalPervert.
