| 3 | Yes, even for a dark show involving deaths and mind games, there will be funny moments like these. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Entries for the Japanese live-action film series go [[Funny/DeathNoteSeries here]]. |

| 9 | [[folder:Main Series]] |
| 10 | [[AC:General]] |
| 11 | * Most of Light and Ryuk's interactions with one another are either funny, oddly sweet, or a combination of both. Two others that immediately come to mind is them teasing one another about their respective popularity with the ladies, and the scene where Ryuk, body all contorted, literally eats an apple from Light's hand. |
| 12 | * Light's smirking, in general, have spawned plenty of [[Manga/OnaniMasterKurosawa parodies.]] |
| 13 | * Matsuda. Poor, poor Matsuda. Everyone calls him an idiot, especially L and Light. |
| 14 | -->''"I can hear you, ya know."'' |
| 15 | * HilariousInHindsight: Mello's birthday, December 13th, is National Cocoa Day in America. |
| 16 | * The likes/dislikes in ''How To Read'' include a random mafioso who likes ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'' and Sidoh disliking ghosts [[spoiler:even though, as a shinigami, he should know they don't exist]]. |
| 17 | * There's something [[BlackComedy morbidly funny]] about the fact that one of the Death Note's rules is that you can't use it to kill someone younger than 780 days old. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Yeah, just in case there's a]] ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice baby]]'' [[CrossesTheLineTwice somewhere that you really want to kill with your Death Note, you're S.O.L.]] |
| 18 | ** It's also stated that the Death Note doesn't work on animals with names, like pets. Again, good to know just in case. |
| 19 | ** Another Death Note rule is that it will not work on people who are 124 years or older. Still, good to know. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | [[AC:Light/L Arc]] |
| 22 | * In the very first episode, Light is outlining his evil plan to Ryuk and learning about the Death Note when his mom interrupts their conversation. She takes one look inside Light's room, which has been dramatically dark all throughout the scene, and cries out, "Why is it so dark in here? You're going to ruin your eyes!" Even better, Light sets the apples she gave him down onto the desk, and Ryuk curiously takes a bite when they pick their conversation back up: |
| 23 | -->'''Ryuk:''' Yum! |
| 24 | -->'''Light:''' I have just one question for you. Why was I chosen for this? ... |
| 25 | -->''Ryuk continues munching apples happily, ignoring Light.'' |
| 26 | -->'''Light:''' HEY! Are you even listening? |
| 27 | * The second chapter/episode when all the police forces are first squabbling over the Kira case. |
| 28 | ** Some [[RootingForTheEmpire favoring Kira for killing criminals who were on death row anyway]]. |
| 29 | ** One internally laughing over the KnightTemplar members calling it murder when hundreds of criminals simultaneously die of sudden heart attacks in worldwide locations. |
| 30 | ** Suspicion of the FBI and CIA. |
| 31 | ** DeadpanSnarker members commenting on the uselessness of finding leads on the heart attacks themselves. |
| 32 | * Also in the second chapter/episode, Light does his first and most EpicFail by killing Lind L. Taylor, allowing L to narrow down his location to Tokyo, Japan. A SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for L, and a major facepalm-worth moment for such a MagnificentBastard all over his pride, with many citizens watching the transmission and Ryuk laughing and lampshading that L just completely ''dunked on'' Kira. |
| 33 | * A bit of Fridge Hilarity that sadly never got to pan out, but during the scene where Light tries to discover Naomi's real name, he contemplates the possibility of using force to deal with her, reasoning that he should be able to overpower Naomi because she's a woman. Remember that Naomi is a [[RetiredBadass retired FBI agent and a damn good one at that]]. ''And Light has no idea at this point''. Odds are good that if Light had tried to attack her, he would have immediately gotten the shit kicked out of him before being arrested. [[EpicFail Bit of an anticlimatic end for the great Kira, no?]] |
| 34 | * After Light determines that there are hidden cameras all over the house, Ryuk freaks out that he can't eat any more apples since they'd be seen floating all over the room, plus that Light had already cheesed off L with his suicide note messages stating that gods of death love apples. |
| 35 | * Light is looking at adult-oriented magazines. Ryuk is behind him. "Wait, I was supposed to be searching for cameras..." |
| 36 | ** Made even better when Soichiro sees WHAT Light is reading (porn... [[BatmanGambit as a part of Light's plan]], yeah). [[CaptainObvious "I cannot believe my son is reading THAT kind of magazines..."]] |
| 37 | ** Even more hilarious in the Latin-American dub, thanks to the [[TheComicallySerious absolutely deadpan delivery]] by Soichiro's LA-VA, who also happened to be [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings dub!Gandalf]], of all people, making the scene ''even funnier'' if that's even possible. |
| 38 | * "[[MemeticMutation I'll take a potato chip]]...[[MundaneMadeAwesome AND EAT IT!]]" Meanwhile, Ryuk is going through his apple withdrawl symptoms. |
| 39 | ** It's funny for different reasons in English ''and'' Japanese; Creator/BradSwaile ''really'' [[EvilIsHammy put his all into it]], while Creator/MamoruMiyano just sounds so deathly serious as he says it. |
| 40 | * At the end of the potato chip plan, Light has to trash the miniature TV along with the potato chip bag he hid it in, with Ryuk reminding him that it cost a lot of money. |
| 41 | * In the manga, Ryuk wants to play ''VideoGame/MarioGolf''. |
| 42 | * Light and Ls's "friendly" tennis match. What starts as a simple spar becomes an embroiled psychological battle of the two trying to guess the other's next move now that they've become established as "friends." All the while, the intensity of their match ends up drawing a giant spectator crowd of their classmates, and what started as a simple practice match now has official referees calling the action. |
| 43 | * The conversation that follows the tennis match is a gem. Light has been envisioning their time in university as a game of cat and mouse, where each tries to covertly investigate the other while pretending to be friends on the surface. As part of the plan he developed during the tennis match, he suggests he and L go for a drink so he can ask him some questions. L replies, deadly serious, that he suspects him of being Kira. |
| 44 | -->'''L:''' ''*Casually''* Now, if you still want to ask me something then please go ahead. |
| 45 | * Soichiro [[ItMakesSenseInContext ramming a truck into the Sakura TV door]]. L’s reaction really sells it: |
| 46 | -->L (in his usual deadpan): Well, that’s one way to get into the building without being seen by Kira. |
| 47 | * The normally unflappable L ''[[FreakOut absolutely losing it]]'' upon hearing the word "Shinigami". And falling off his chair after his dramatic scream. |
| 48 | * When Misa/Second Kira sends a message declaring she wants to meet Kira at the baseball game (actually she cleverly signals she wants to meet Light someplace else). Everyone decries her as stupid since airing that message would mean cancelling the game to avoid panic. L's comment is even more hilarious. |
| 49 | -->'''L''': To be honest, it's so stupid I'm not even sure what to do of this whole situation anymore... |
| 50 | * Speaking of Misa glomping people, Light's reaction to her random flying glomp? "This is the first time in my life that I've been provoked to hit a woman." |
| 51 | * The expression Rem makes in response to Misa's "what a beautiful way to kill a Shinigami" comment. It's very much a "what the hell is wrong with you?" kind of look. Almost like Rem is thinking "Gelus, what a crazy girl you went and died for!" |
| 52 | * L has Light write a message for the Second Kira, "pretending" to be the real Kira to lure them [[SamusIsAGirl (her)]] into a trap. That by itself is [[RefugeInAudacity plenty ironic, audacious and hilarious from any perspective]], since [[IKnowYouKnowIKnow L already suspects Light is Kira and Light is aware of it.]] He then proof-reads the letter: |
| 53 | -->'''L''': [[DeathAsComedy "It's very well done but... if we don't take out this 'but you can kill L'... I'll die."]] |
| 54 | -->'''Light''': [[FauxAffablyEvil (laughs) I'm sorry,]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice I guess I got carried playing the part. I figured if I was him I'd probably demand that you be killed. I was improvising.]] |
| 55 | * From ''Relight'', when L invites Light to a screening of the second Kira's message: he's clearly trying to get Light to react to the tape so as to catch him in the act, but with a master actor like Light, this requires an in-depth study on his face. Very in-depth. Like, [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace right in his face]]. [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=xgGFnGR-lfE&t=200 It's not very subtle]]. |
| 56 | * L's ComicallySmallBribe. "If you keep this secret, this strawberry is yours." |
| 57 | ** The fact that Mogi actually takes the strawberry (probably just to humour L, but still), and just casually puts it in his pocket, as if it's not a messy piece of fruit. Bear in mind that he's wearing a business suit. |
| 58 | * From that scene in Light's bedroom where he's being all manipulative with Misa and Rem. Just... the expression Light gets when [[spoiler: his manipulating Rem to kill L actually works]] (something along the lines of OhCrap, MyGodWhatHaveIDone with PuppyDogEyes [[http://clive4everlegal.deviantart.com/art/Light-poster-Death-Note-302079322]]) I guess WantingIsBetterThanHaving... |
| 59 | * Misa surprising Light with a visit and meeting L for the first time, which causes Light to curse her mentally at first before realizing it works in his favor since she can now see L's real name. He then become concerned by L's creepy smiling and that he might know something... Only to praise Light and claim (or reveal) that he's a FanBoy of Misa (much to her delight). |
| 60 | -->'''L''': Light? (DramaticPause) [[MoodWhiplash You're a lucky guy.]] I've been a huge fan of your since... |
| 61 | ** A crowd then rallies around Misa. Light stoically wonders just what the hell is going and grumbles he can't get info from Misa... and then this happens. |
| 62 | -->'''Misa''': No way, somebody just touched my butt! |
| 63 | -->'''L''' (standing guiltily behind Misa): Uh... [[BadBadActing this is an outrage! Taking advantage of the situation is unforgivable; I will find whoever is responsible for this!]] |
| 64 | -->'''Background character''': I want to touch her too! |
| 65 | ** When Misa's original manager comes by to scold Misa and make her go to work. Misa [[HorrifyingTheHorror (the second Kira) is terrified of her and even]] ''[[HorrifyingTheHorror L and Kira]]'' [[HorrifyingTheHorror seem a bit unnerved by the scary lady.]] |
| 66 | ** After the crowd disperses and L walks away, Light attempts to call Misa to learn L's name... only learn L stole Misa's cell phone. While standing a few feet away from L. HilarityEnsues. [[http://i.imgur.com/foUxbto.png L's expression]] when Light calls him is ''priceless''. |
| 67 | *** Hell, [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/3f505b7ef5fe8bc4b5da58a418cd868d/20ee82c0818bcff6-90/s1280x1920/c4719a66aa7386eec834db9c7ef3911f77a167fc.jpg '''Light's''' face]] is ''absolutely priceless'' too. It is pure DeathGlare aimed at the back of L's head (i.e. the screen), and he can barely contain his anger at being OutGambitted while talking to L over the phone (literally one meter away behind him). L's tone while answering also makes it very clear he knows and is enjoying it. |
| 68 | -->'''L''' (answering Misa's phone): [[{{Troll}} Yes? Hello?]] |
| 69 | -->'''Light''' ([[TranquilFury silently seething behind L]]): ''[[SuppressedRage ...What do you mean,]]'' '''''[[SuppressedRage "hello"?]]''''' |
| 70 | -->'''L''': [[TheGadfly Oh, is that you, Light? I guess someone must have been dropped this phone in all of the commotion earlier on.]] (Beat, as Light has InnerMonologue) ...Uh, hello? |
| 71 | ** In the manga, when L informs Light they've apprehended Misa under suspicion of being the second Kira, rather than feign shock that his public girlfriend could be the second Kira, he just stands there with an angry look on his face. He even continues his angry stare when L obviously feigns concern for the shock he must be going through. This is a tense moment in the story, but its pretty funny how Light doesn't even bother acting at this point. |
| 72 | * Light in the 'please confine me' obvious bullshitting scene "''Another me could be out killing people while I sleep!''" |
| 73 | ** L's inner monologue, which basically amounts to "Are you seriously expecting me to buy this crap?" makes it even better. |
| 74 | * Misa saying she would love Light even more if she knew he was Kira. Soichiro and Aizawa's reactions to it are practically mental facepalms. One can only imagine how the real, pre/post-amnesia Light would react to/think about her actually saying that outloud... |
| 75 | |
| 76 | [[AC:Yotsuba Arc]] |
| 77 | * Misa's "date" with the handcuffed Light and L, devolving into a huge fight between Light and L that's half them hitting each other and half their being dragged around by the handcuffs from the force of their own blows. "Last chance for cake!" |
| 78 | ** Before the fight even starts, L interrupts the date by asking for a slice of cake. |
| 79 | -->'''L''': ...Hey, are you gonna eat that cake? |
| 80 | -->'''Misa''': Cake makes you fat. I'm not gonna eat any. |
| 81 | -->'''L''': Actually, I find that you don't gain any weight as long as you burn calories by using your brain. |
| 82 | -->'''Misa''': So now you're calling me stupid?! |
| 83 | ** Also, virtually every conversation between L and Misa in the manga usually qualifies. |
| 84 | -->'''Misa:''' How about if I give you the cake, will you leave me and Light alone together? |
| 85 | -->'''L:''' Even if I leave you two alone together, I can watch from the cameras, so it's the same thing. |
| 86 | -->'''Misa:''' I told you that's perverted! Will you stop with that kind of fetish!? |
| 87 | -->'''L:''' Say what you want, but I ''will'' be taking the cake. |
| 88 | ** How that fight started-L is complaining that he's depressed and unmotivated with the Kira case now that [[spoiler:[[MemoryGambit it looks like Light isn't Kira]]]] and then [[HilarityEnsues the following Ensues]]: After L [[DespairEventHorizon believes trying to catch Kira is pointless]], Light gets L's attention. [[HeyYouHaymaker When L turns around, Light punches him hard in the face]]. |
| 89 | -->'''Light''': [[SoftSpokenSadist Ryuzaki...]] |
| 90 | -->'''L''': Huh? |
| 91 | -->'''Light''': *''PUNCH''* |
| 92 | ** Of course, this is followed up by L kicking Light across the room, apparently forgetting or not caring that they are [[http://claudiakat.deviantart.com/art/Death-Note-L-is-a-genius-36451302 handcuffed together.]] |
| 93 | ** There also L's line "You know, I'm much stronger than I look" after taking another hit from Light. The English version has it sort of an annoyed tone to it that you can't help but chuckle at. |
| 94 | ** Not to mention the little "Make up" dance with Misa afterward. Never has a mono "Yay" been funnier. |
| 95 | ** Directly after the punch, Misa stumbles backwards and steps on a piece of cake in her stockings. [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=fDaypua_gWI The noise she makes]] is ''priceless.'' |
| 96 | --->'''Misa''': '''RUUUEEHHH''' |
| 97 | ** Matsuda's attempt to stop the fight is worth a mention, especially with how L & Light react. |
| 98 | --->'''L''': Matsuda's acting stupid again. |
| 99 | --->'''Light''': Well, that is his specialty. |
| 100 | --->'''Matsuda''': I can hear you, you know. |
| 101 | * The first time that Aizawa goes through security at the new HQ. [[MetalDetectorCheckpoint He keeps setting off the metal detector]] and eventually just takes his pants off. |
| 102 | * The Yotsuba members, staring at a dozen "ridiculously cute" model girls, with How-the-fuck-did-we-get-there look on their faces. |
| 103 | --> '''Shimura Suguru''':'Oi, I think we are starting to go off a tangent here... |
| 104 | ** The dub had the line as something like "Is it me or is this starting to get really weird?" |
| 105 | ** Not to mention that, while the Yotsuba group are trying to keep serious, the camera pans down to show them wearing ''fluffy pink slippers''. |
| 106 | * The Yotsuba eight have some pretty funny moments, especially in the manga. |
| 107 | ** One of them refers to themselves and the other members of group as "us rich folk". Another jokes about killing people in their competitors' cars, only to get reprimanded by Shimura and Higuchi. |
| 108 | ** While the anime makes Shimura and Hatori look intimidating during their interrogation of Matsuda, they just look awkward and confused in the manga. It's also worth mentioning that they probably never actually got a chance to go to the bathroom... |
| 109 | ** While Higuchi is insisting they kill Coil, Mido makes a very unamused face and asks Higuchi why he wants to kill everyone. Especially funny, considering [[HilariousInHindsight Higuchi is Kira.]] |
| 110 | ** Ooi's method of flirting during the model party is to brag about how their company is expanding, while Higuchi tells a model that he still misses his ex-girlfriends. |
| 111 | ** The Yotsuba Eight, with the exception of Shimura, are almost hilariously incompetent. It takes them weeks to figure out some very basic things about the death note, they refuse to acknowledge how suspicious Eraldo Coil is, etc. |
| 112 | ** Then there's this exchange... |
| 113 | -->'''Ooi''': If worst comes to worst, we can blast a missile into Coil's or L's or whoever's base. Yotsuba is powerful! |
| 114 | -->'''Shimura''': Uh... |
| 115 | -->'''Ooi''': That... was a joke... |
| 116 | * During the Yotsuba arc: |
| 117 | -->'''Misa''': Hey, Light. Wanna come sleep with me tonight? |
| 118 | -->'''Light''': Wh-What are you talking about...?? |
| 119 | -->'''Misa''': Hahaha! Just kidding! You're saving me for after we catch Kira right! You don't have to be shy about it! |
| 120 | -->'''L''': Yes, Light. There's no need to be shy. |
| 121 | -->'''Light''': I'm not being shy! |
| 122 | -->'''L''': No need to be so serious either. |
| 123 | * Aizawa, getting more and more annoyed by Misa's childishness. You can see the pain on his face, as he barely stops himself from snapping. Then he snaps - and then trying to actually get ''rid'' of her looks like trying to get a pet out of a room you don't want it in. |
| 124 | ** The entire scene marks a ''dramatic'' [[MoodWhiplash shift in tone]], going from heavy drama and suspense - [[spoiler: Light's father had looked ready to execute both Misa and Light]] - to a much whackier style, culminating in [[ShooOutTheClowns Misa's forcible removal from the room]]. |
| 125 | * They're all worrying about how Eraldo Coil is trying to find L. L explains that he's really the world's three greatest detectives, using different names in case a situation like this arises. Then he randomly hands Mogi a strawberry and says in a serious tone, "I'll give you this strawberry if you keep it a secret, okay?" What really makes this one, though, is Mogi slipping the strawberry into his pocket. |
| 126 | * Matsuda was spying on Yotsuba when he was discovered and quickly pretends to be Misa's agent, hoping to get her a gig with them. They don't quite buy it and refuse to let him leave. Meanwhile, the taskforce wonders where Matsuda is, but don't want to reveal everything, in case he's in trouble. L calls Matsuda's cell, and..."Heeey, Matsuiii! Wanna go out drinkin'?!" |
| 127 | * SpySpeak between L and Matsuda: |
| 128 | -->'''L''': So, you by ''yourself''? |
| 129 | -->'''Matsuda''': Yeah, I'm by ''myself''. |
| 130 | * Then... |
| 131 | -->'''L''': So do you wanna like to go out drinking tonight? |
| 132 | -->'''Matsuda''': Oh, right now? Oh, sorry. I'll have to pass tonight. |
| 133 | -->'''L''': Oh, what's the matter? Don't tell me your wallet is ''in trouble'' again. |
| 134 | -->'''Matsuda''': Yeah, that's right, ''big troubles'' with money. You know me too well. |
| 135 | * "Do you really want to help? [[YouGetMeCoffee Get me some coffee]]." |
| 136 | * In the manga, the task force is debating how the Yotsuba Group and Kira are connected. When it's brought up that Kira may have approached Yotsuba on his own because he needed their help, this exchange occurs: |
| 137 | -->'''Matsuda''': There's no way Kira would do that! That would be so uncool. |
| 138 | -->'''Aizawa''': YOU THINK KIRA IS COOL, MATSUDA?! |
| 139 | -->'''Matsuda''': ...Sorry... |
| 140 | * Matsuda's computer-disguised voice in Episode 22. It's the big responsibility he's been looking for, and he sounds like a '80s chipmunk. |
| 141 | * This exchange: |
| 142 | -->'''Misa''': No way! I couldn't live in a world without Light! |
| 143 | -->'''L''': Yes, that would be dark. |
| 144 | * TheStoic Mogi's stint as "Mochi," Misa's Genki, LargeHam manager. Especially the end of Episode 22, where he ''really'' enjoys screwing with Higuchi. |
| 145 | ** Hey, you stole- Oh well. It also counts as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, which is sadly his only one. |
| 146 | * In another scene in the manga, Light "profiles" Kira as likely an affluent and idealistic teenager. L notes that sounds an awful lot like... Sayu, Light's sister. |
| 147 | * Misa getting tortured under L's orders was ''not'' funny, but it gets a hilarious CallBack when Misa volunteers to infiltrate Yotsuba. |
| 148 | -->'''Misa:''' I won't say anything even if they torture me! |
| 149 | -->'''L:''' I can attest to that. |
| 150 | ** The torture scene DID have a funny moment, though. |
| 151 | -->''About a week of imprisonment, Misa forfeited her note and memories, was denied the bathroom'' |
| 152 | -->'''Misa:''' What? You want me to do it here? You want to see me pee? You're a pervert! |
| 153 | -->'''L:''' ...I'm a pervert? |
| 154 | -->''Day 50 of imprisonment'' |
| 155 | -->'''L:''' You look down. Are you OK? |
| 156 | -->'''Misa:''' ....You're stupid aren't you. If I didn't look unhappy after several weeks of this, then I'd be insane. |
| 157 | -->'''L:''' Yes, you're right. |
| 158 | * In the manga, when Light and L are discussing their plan to arrest Higuchi: |
| 159 | -->'''L:'''...And he'll get into the Yoshida Productions office with the key we'll leave behind the potted plant right outside the office. |
| 160 | -->'''Misa:''' But there ''isn't'' a potted plant there! |
| 161 | -->'''Light:''' Then we'll put one there or think of something else. That's not really important. |
| 162 | -->'''Misa:''' I know, I just thought I should chime in with something. |
| 163 | * In one of the episodes during the Yotsuba arc, L imitates one of Misa's commercials. |
| 164 | * After Light loses his memories of the Death Note, there is a scene where he sits for a while, staring off into space, wondering if he'd kill criminals if he had the power and if he could have done it without having a memory of it. Then: |
| 165 | --> '''L''': What's wrong? You've been staring at me for the last two minutes. Wait, let me guess, you must be annoyed because I'm the only one eating cake at the moment, am I right? |
| 166 | * Misa [[TheGlomp glomping]] Ryuk. Seriously, [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu the girl just glomped a GOD OF DEATH]]. Completely unexpected, and absolutely hilarious. |
| 167 | ** Made funnier when Ryuk makes her phase right through him and says, basically "I'm shy around girls." |
| 168 | * In Episode 25 in the scene where Light finds L on the roof while a heavy rainstorm is going on, the facial expression that L has when he motions a second time for Light to speak louder is hilarious. |
| 169 | * Misa, after declaring L her friend and stating that any friend of Light's is a friend of hers: |
| 170 | -->'''Misa:''' ''(spinning the guys in a circle with her)'' [[GenkiGirl LET'S ALL BE FRIENDS TOGETHER!]]\ |
| 171 | '''Light:''' ''(deadpan)'' Whee....\ |
| 172 | '''L:''' ''(equally deadpan, slightly confused)'' Hmm, yay, fun. |
| 173 | ** Even better, they actually are forming a circle, which means Light and L joined hands all by themselves. For some reason. |
| 174 | |
| 175 | [[AC:Near/Mello Arc]] |
| 176 | * Sidoh. Frickin' '''Sidoh'''! His voice in the English dub (Creator/SamuelVincent) can only be described as a mix between a DeadpanSnarker and a high school nerd. |
| 177 | -->'''Sidoh''' (whining): I WANT MY NOTEBOOK. |
| 178 | ** This exchange between Sidoh and Armonia Justin: |
| 179 | -->'''Sidoh''': M'kay, um, I've got a ''little'' problem. I went to the king to report that I lost my notebook, but after I described it to him, the old man said that Ryuk said it was his, and that he had dropped it and ''took it''. |
| 180 | -->(''Armonia Justin laughs'') |
| 181 | -->'''Sidoh''': So what do you think I should do to get it back? |
| 182 | -->'''Armonia Justin''': Guess you have no choice but to find Ryuk and ask him yourself. |
| 183 | -->'''Sidoh''': ...Yeah, that's what I thought. So I guess I have to go to...the human world? |
| 184 | -->'''Armonia Justin''': Yep, that's right. Have fun. |
| 185 | -->'''Sidoh''': Well, that sucks. |
| 186 | ** Another funny bit from Episode 29 (dub): |
| 187 | --> '''Mello:''' The uh... the notebook just flew. |
| 188 | --> '''Mafia Leader''': Hah, it's a notebook that kills people. Hell, nothin' surprises me anymore. |
| 189 | ** And how did it "flew"? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4GtnBGDUDo Sidoh dropped it on Syder's head nonchalantly.]] In the original Japanese, he says "Hou... ston," while the English dub has him go, "Tag, you're it." |
| 190 | ** After Sidoh reveals himself to Mello and everyone else in the room, Mello orders Sidoh to leave the base and act as a lookout... except, for some reason, he says so with a ridiculously derpy look on his face ([[http://shining-heart05.deviantart.com/art/Dat-Mello-Face-411656447 screencap]]). |
| 191 | ** Mello in general is a derp, let's be honest. He makes the weirdest faces, and eats chocolate way too dramatically to be serious. |
| 192 | * Misa briefly [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] Aizawa's ImportantHaircut, saying how he was cuter with his afro and [[TheStoic Mogi]] of all people giggle at this. |
| 193 | * Teru Mikami's '''"Sakujo!"''' or '''"Delete!"''' has some NarmCharm for fans, especially when he chews the scenery while saying it. |
| 194 | ** The way that Mikami kills [[spoiler:[[FatBastard Hitoshi Demegawa]]]] and his followers on [[spoiler:the set of ''Kira's Kingdom''[[note]](a new reality TV show which claims to be a cult that worships Kira, [[ScamReligion but is really just one big scam for enriching Demegawa himself]])[[/note]]]] is rather [[BlackComedy darkly hilarious]]. Whenever [[spoiler:Demegawa]] tries pointing at someone to lead their movement, they just suffer a heart attack, leaving [[spoiler:Demegawa]] to increasingly panic and beg for mercy. And especially with [[spoiler:Demegawa's]] exaggerated facial expressions as he falls dead on the floor. |
| 195 | * In the manga, you get Near vs Dart. During his first phone call with Light you see Near throwing a dart at an empty dartboard but failing to hit it, and then you get a panel of the floor below being littered with darts. After he hangs up and the SPK are talking to one another you see Near has moved his chair from the other side of the room to within a foot of the dartboard in an attempt to actually hit it. A few chapters later you see Near whittling his own dart, which he throws from the other side of the room and..... it bounces off the side of the dartboard and into a corner of the room, decapitating one of his toy robots in the process. |
| 196 | * In one episode, Near is explaining his deduction of Kira's sinister plan. He then moves a superhero action figure through the air. "Whooooosh." |
| 197 | * Already on the Awesome page, but it deserves a mention here too: Near avoiding capture by diverting everyone with a ''shower of money''. |
| 198 | * When Mello informs Souchiro that he's kidnapped Sayu, he makes one concession: "Since you're the deputy chief of police, it would be pointless to tell you not to contact the police." |
| 199 | * This scene shortly after [[spoiler:Mello detonates his hideout:]] |
| 200 | -->'''Aizawa:''' Matsuda! Are you OK?! |
| 201 | -->'''Matsuda:''' Ugh...No... |
| 202 | -->'''Aizawa:''' Good, you seem fine. |
| 203 | * This tidbit from episode 34 while the task force is listening in on a conversation between Light and Takada: |
| 204 | -->'''Matsuda''': Oh boy, Light's in trouble now! |
| 205 | -->'''Ide''': Matsuda, is there some reason you're happy about this? |
| 206 | * Then... |
| 207 | -->'''Matsuda''': Ohh, he's busted! Light's in the doghouse! |
| 208 | -->'''Aizawa''': Shut up, Matsuda! |
| 209 | * After Light assures Takada his seeing Misa [[ItDoesntMeanAnything doesn't mean anything]] and "you're the only one for me": |
| 210 | --> '''Takada''': If you're lying you're going to pay. I'll tell Kira, you know. |
| 211 | --> '''Light:''' Ha ha. Great joke Takada. |
| 212 | --> '''Takada:''' I'm not joking. |
| 213 | --> '''Ide:''' Whoa, women are scary. |
| 214 | * Misa's and Takada's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0XjdPPqP8w dinner together]] had some tense moments, but overall, the entire thing was a four-minute catfight for Light's love while Misa chugged wine straight from the bottle until she got hammered. |
| 215 | ** And once Near's been informed of Misa's and Takada's confrontation: |
| 216 | -->'''Near''': What this proves is... (dramatic pause) ...Light Yagami is a lady-killer. |
| 217 | -->'''Rester''': Near, please be serious. |
| 218 | * In the manga, the entire exchange when Light is calling up Takada when she is needed after ignoring her for years and the very self-assured, arrogant expressions he gets when he knows his manipulations are working. |
| 219 | * [[spoiler:The task force told Near they were done taking orders from him and were going to look for Light]]. Near makes what can only be described as an O_O face before looking away and reverting to his usual expression. |
| 220 | * In the manga, Mello directs Mogi to the SPK headquarters so that Near can interrogate him about the possibility of the second L being Kira. Near is concerned about this, because at this point he's not sure which member of the task force is acting as L, and if it turns out to be Mogi, he would be in trouble. His solution? Call up L--on the super-secret, secure line that calls him and only him--hear Light answer, and then say ''"sorry, wrong number"'' and immediately hang up. Light and Matsuda are both very confused. |
| 221 | ** Near's interrogation is also hilarious, because it's a total dead end. Aizawa and Ide have tailed Mogi from [=LA=] to [=NYC=], and they plus Light, Matsuda, ''and'' Mello (who orchestrated this by suggesting Mogi come meet with ''him'', soon after he caused Soichiro's death) are all listening in through Mogi's cell phone-- Mello because he's called Mogi, and Light and the taskforce through the cell phone sharing system. Because Mello brought him to Near, Mogi assumes they're working together and resolves to not say a single thing. So he doesn't. Near begs and cajoles him, even telling him it's all because he and Mello admired L so much, even going so far as to suggest to Mello that Kira is controlling Mogi, whether through the notebook or more subtle manipulation. Because he can track Mogi's cellphone, this is when Light sends Demegawa and the the mob of Kira worshippers to attack Near and his group, and when Near makes it rain 100 dollar bills to distract them-- which just confirms to Near that L = Kira. He tells Rester to gag Mogi, calls up the taskforce, and announces that Mogi just died of a heart attack to cause the taskforce members to doubt L and hopefully share information with him. When Aizawa does just that, he immediately cops to it, but Aizawa asks to speak with Mogi himself, who confirms he's fine-- while Near exclaims "So you ''can'' talk!" |
| 222 | * In the manga, the look of indignation on Gevanni's face when Near decision to pick him to take the risk of being killed was only because Rester is his superior. |
| 223 | * After Mello gets blown up, Near figures that he's probably going to make contact with an [=SPK=] member to get his investigation back on track, and between Rester, Gevanni, and Lidner, he gives Lidner a 70% chance of being Mello's choice, because he'd have the best chance pf overpowering her if needed. He tells them to put cameras in their homes, wear a wire at all times, and cooperate with the volatile Mello if they're willing to bait him out like this-- and if they're not, to not leave headquarters. He adds, "I'm scared, so I'm not going to go outside." |
| 224 | |
| 225 | [[AC:Omakes]] |
| 226 | * As seen on the YouKillItYouBoughtIt page... |
| 227 | -->'''Light''': Now that Santa is gone, I can become Santa and create a new world! |
| 228 | -->'''Ryuk''': Can I be a reindeer? |
| 229 | * In another of {{Omake}}, Ryuk wants the Advance XP for Christmas--the silver one. Also, Light is dressed as Santa in that, saying "Ho-ho-ho, Merry Christmas, Ryukie." |
| 230 | * In another one, just when L couldn't get any weirder, he is transported around town, by Watari, in a baby carriage. |
| 231 | |
| 232 | [[AC:Post-Series Special Chapters]] |
| 233 | |
| 234 | * While trying to track down A-Kira, Near requests the security camera footage from Sakura TV from the time Ryuk was there, reasoning that the most efficient way to identify A-Kira is to follow Ryuk back to him. His baleful glare of thwarted irritation at a model of Ryuk when Rester and Matsuda tell him that they can't trace Ryuk's movements because he ''traveled underground'' is hilarious, but the kicker is what he does next: He presses a key on his laptop and ''blows it up'' with an even more annoyed look on his face. Near spends most of the chapter in various stages of tired and annoyed resignation, because he's not entirely sure it's a crime to ''sell'' the notebook, and A-Kira's plan is so well-thought-out and cautious that every plan Near comes up with is accounted for. By the end, he's just enjoying the show, and more disappointed that he won't be able to meet a fellow player on his own intellectual level. |
| 235 | * When it's announced that the winner of the auction is the [=USA=], Rester points out that, if they follow their plan of seizing the notebook before the hand off, it would mean going against their own government. |
| 236 | -->'''Near:''' If you're going to do it, do it on your own, please. |
| 237 | -->'''Rester:''' On our own? Why do you say that...? |
| 238 | -->'''Near:''' Because... I live in America now. |
| 239 | -->'''Lidner:''' You got mean, L... |

| 242 | [[folder:The Drama]] |
| 243 | * When Light infiltrates Yotsuba, L is supposed to open the doors remotely for him. But then L doesn't open a door and [[AmusingInjuries Light walks into it]]. L claims the door was broken. Light grumbles that L probably left it closed on purpose, and L's smirk implies [[{{Troll}} he did]]. |
| 244 | * Ryuk annoys Light in the middle of a lecture, so Light yells at him to shut up. Everyone in the room assumes he wanted the lecturer to shut up. |
| 245 | * The series starts with Light fanboying at a J-pop concert. That ''Misa'' is the star of. |
| 246 | * L changing his shirts so often that Watari has an entire rack of them in the investigation room, and can be seen occasionally ironing them in the background. |
| 247 | * Though it crosses over with NightmareFuel [[spoiler: the fact that Mello seems to be played by a puppet is just hysterical.]] One can only imagine how the production meeting went for that. |
| 248 | ** This revelation alone has prompted the idea that there might be a [[spoiler: Matt puppet, too.]] [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter Unfortunately, there isn't.]] |
| 249 | * At one point in episode 2, a random student sees Ryuk eating an apple. (''Her own'' apple, no less -- he stole it from her just when she was about to eat it.) But since that student didn't touch the 'Death Note', she only saw the floating apple. [[{{Fainting}} Her response is to faint.]] |
| 250 | * After Ryuk reads Raye Pember's fate written in the 'Death Note' on a roof, he accidentally rolls off the ledge, screaming. But suddenly, he flies, almost forgetting that he had wings. |
| 251 | * While L and Watari are listening to the transceiver conversation between Raye and Light, L hands Watari an energy juice pack. Watari tries to take a sip, only to realise it's empty. L can only smile in response. |
| 252 | * This episode 4 exchange between Misa and Rem, regarding Light. |
| 253 | -->'''Rem:''' Listen, Misa. Those who come to possess a 'Death Note' become paranoid.\ |
| 254 | '''Misa:''' Rem...\ |
| 255 | '''Rem:''' ''(Nods)'' If you understand, then use the 'Death Note' for yourself.\ |
| 256 | '''Misa:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint What does "paranoid" mean?]]\ |
| 257 | ''[[[LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand The peaceful flute music becomes distorted as Rem sighs.]]]''\ |
| 258 | '''Rem:''' You know, you're really...\ |
| 259 | ''[[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere A disappointed Rem turns to leave]] [[{{Intangibility}} by phasing through her room]], while Misa futilely tries to stop her.]''\ |
| 260 | '''Misa:''' Hey, wait a minute! Tell me! |
| 261 | * The shower scene. Mostly for the fact that when it became viral some people didn't think it was ''real,'' and thought it was a scene from some parody sketch show. To elaborate, L explains his motives for playing tennis with Light, while the two were washing up. In short, it was a gigantic serving of HoYay for everyone involved. And when L leaves, Light throws his wrapped towel onto the ground, not caring about his indecency. |
| 262 | * Light and L's reactions to seeing Shinigami for the first time. Light actually hides under his desk and runs from his house when Ryuk gets closer. And later on, when L sees Rem, he gets the dumbest look on his face and actually falls onto his ass! |

| 265 | [[folder:Light Novels]] |
| 266 | * The first page of ''Death Note Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases'' when [[spoiler: Mello]] decides he can't keep up a narrative tone. |
| 267 | * "I am a corpse". |
| 268 | * The ''entire'' jam scene. |
| 269 | * The coffee scene: |
| 270 | -->"This tastes like dirt." |
| 271 | -->"Sweet dirt." |
| 272 | * This conversation with Naomi and Rue: |
| 273 | -->"I am an aggressive top. I have never once been submissive even to a traffic light." |
| 274 | -->"You really should." |
| 275 | -->"Never." |
| 276 | * What, no love for the scene in ''Another Note'' where they are talking about the locked doors? |
| 277 | --> '''Naomi''': What would you do, Ryuzaki? If you were trying to lock it from the outside? |
| 278 | --> '''Rue''': Use a key. |
| 279 | --> '''Naomi''': No, not like that...if you'd lost the key. |
| 280 | --> '''Rue''': Use a spare key. |
| 281 | --> '''Naomi''': No, not like that...you don't have a spare key, either. |
| 282 | --> '''Rue''': Then I wouldn't lock it. |
| 283 | --> '''Naomi''': ... |
