Go To

1* The intro sequence, which is pretty much an EstablishingSeriesMoment for the entire series. Etna decides that since Laharl won't wake up, she's gonna have to resort to shooting him. He wakes up and asks about the weapons behind her, and Etna defends he's a heavy sleeper. When she tells Laharl that his father died two years ago while he was asleep, he grows angry and asks why she didn't wake him earlier, to which Etna responds "what do you think I've been doing all this time?"
2* The Prinnies try their fins at Laharl's challenge to claim the title of the Overlord. They know they're completely outmatched, so instead...
3-->'''Enemy Prinnies:''' We challenge you to a game of baseball, dood!
4-->'''Off-screen Umpire''': Play ball!
5-->'''Laharl:''' Etna.
6-->'''Etna:''' Yes?
7-->'''Laharl:''' [[CurbStompBattle Kill 'em.]]
8-->'''Etna:''' Certainly.
9* Laharl getting excited over the first [[PokeThePoodle evil deed]] he will commit as an Overlord.
10-->'''Laharl:''' You want me to make it rain pepper on Earth so they can't stop sneezing? [[{{Irony}} Or do you want me to give human kids an addictive video game that will deprive them of their sleep?]]
11-->'''Etna:''' Uh...no.
12* The entirety of '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!'s''' gloriously wacked-out introduction chapter.
13* Early in the first game, [[LoveFreak Flonne]] is talking about [[ThePowerOfLove Love and Friendship and Stuff]], and has this exchange with [[LittleMissSnarker Etna]]:
14-->'''Etna''': What good is that stuff? Is your head full of flowers or something?\
15'''Flonne''': Yes, I love flowers.\
16'''Etna''': Oh geez... Your head ''IS'' full of flowers.
17* When Maderas starts exploiting Laharl's weaknesses:
18** First he has monsters saying things like "World peace!" and "Optimism!" which causes Laharl to flinch in pain. When he explains that such phrases are his weakness, Flonne asks if he means things like "Eternal love"
19-->'''Laharl''': *Blood-curling scream* "THE WORST WORDS IN THE WORLD!"
20** Then in the next stage, he's approached by very... endowed monsters teasing him. He explains that, for some reason, women with sexy bodies make him weak. Then adds that girls like Etna and Flonne have no effect on him. They are not amused.
21-->'''Etna and Flonne''': "Well, excuse us for being flat!"
22* With Laharl finding a way to bypass his weakness and Etna rebelling against him, Maderas tries to get the Prinnies to kill her. [[OhCrap He's not happy when he finds out that they don't exactly work for him anymore.]]
23-->'''Maderas''': Dammit! Prinnies! Make mincemeat out of her!
24-->''-music stops-''
25-->'''Prinny Squad''': ...[[ThisIsGonnaSuck Dooooooooooooood]].
26* Flonne's entire introduction is one funny moment after another. She enters the castle [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud making her own ninja sound effects]]. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} She then starts contemplating whether or not it's right to assassinate someone she doesn't know and then starts realizing that killing someone she does know is wrong too]], which is then hilariously lampshaded by Laharl ("Who are you, and why are you in my room talking to yourself?"). And, of course, there's the way she introduces herself to Laharl:
27-->'''Flonne''': Nice to meet you! I'm an assassin! ...whoops. [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud I wasn't supposed to say that]]...\
28'''Laharl:''' ...You're pretty dense, aren't you?\
29'''Flonne:''' My! How rude, calling somebody you just met dense!\
30'''Laharl:''' [[JerkassHasAPoint I think that an assassin who tries to kill someone in his sleep is a lot ruder.]]\
31'''Flonne:''' ...You're right. I apologize.\
32'''Laharl:''' (...Is she really an assassin?)
33** Becomes even more HilariousInHindsight. Ninjas in Disgaea 4 ''[[TheCloudcuckoolanderWasRight actually say]]'' "Nin nin nin!"
34* [[ButtMonkey Mid-boss (Dark Adonis Vyers)?]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Except the very serious parts in the first game,]] he gets dogged by the protagonists in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5aThJq4Xvo every]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiWcq6cdqF4 single]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwkEz4DBfzo appearance]].
35-->(After being insulted and degraded by [[{{Jerkass}} Laharl]].)
36-->'''Vyers''': How dare you! I am the Dark Adonis Vy...
37-->'''Laharl''': Who gives a damn about you? Your new name is "Mid-Boss".
38-->'''Mid-Boss''': Mi, Mi, Mid-Boss!?
39** Just to emphasize: The above mid-dialogue name change ''is canon''. The moment Laharl declares Vyers' new name, the game itself ''obeys his command'' and changes it.
40* The [[{{Sentai}} Prism Rangers]]. As they are preparing to initiate their TransformationSequence, [[CombatPragmatist Etna shoots them]].
41-->'''Prism Red''': Here we go! Blue! Yellow! Transfo-----\
42'''Etna:''' Bang♥\
43'''Prism Red:''' Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeee!!!! Yellowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! This can't be happening! Blue and Yellow have been shot...! I can't transform on my own...! Curse you! Shooting before we even have the chance to transform... How inconsiderate! Are you demons!?\
44'''Etna:''' Uh-huh.\
45''(Jarring chord)''\
46'''Prism Red:''' Oh my gosh! I completely forgot about that!
47** [[HilariousInHindsight Even funnier]] when you realize [[Creator/BarbaraGoodson the English VA for Laharl]] also voiced [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Rita Repulsa]].
48* In Episode 3 of ''Afternoon's'' Etna Mode, Flonne confronts Etna at the Sea of Gehenna... wearing a sentai mask. Calling herself 'Justice Flonne', she swears to defeat Etna, and after being chased off the first time, she comes back, claiming to have powered up. All she does is turn on lights where the mask's eyes are.
49-->'''Etna:''' That's it? So your eyes are glowing...?
50-->'''Flonne:''' Yes. Now, I can see in the dark.
51-->'''Etna:''' Anyone who walks around at night, wearing that mask has gotta be some kind of crazy.
52* In Episode 9, when Jennifer and Thursday meet the Disgaea trio. This is Thursday's response when he senses lifeforms approaching:
53-->'''Thursday:''' LIFE FORMS ARE APPROACHING. OH $*&% RUN RUN RUN...!
54** And in his first scene:
55-->'''Thursday:''' GORDON KEEPS STARING AT JENNIFER'S THIGHS. PERVERT - PERVERT - PERVERT!
56** Jennifer and Thursday meet the trio, the former being genuinely confused that the trio looks nothing like what headquarters provided data on. Thursday calculates, and...
57-->'''Thursday''': CALCULATION COMPLETE.
58-->'''Jennifer''': What's the answer?
59-->'''Thursday''': HEADQUARTERS IS A BUNCH OF LIARS.
60* Vulcanus' reaction to the contents of a book he finds while sneaking around Laharl's castle;
61-->'''Vulcanus:''' This page! This page! All of these pages!
62* '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!'s''' ''glorious'' introduction.
63** And his BadBadActing when he wants to sneak away from Laharl. "LA LA LAAAA!".
64* Episode 7's final boss is Aramis' ultimate zombie, which Laharl quickly considers TheDreaded. Is it because it was made with the fists of a Dark Karate master, the legs of the fastest demon in the Netherworld, the mind of the sorcerer Mahogany, and the iron body of Hercules? Nope, it's because it has a ''Horse Wiener''.
65-->'''Laharl:''' A horse wiener!? Now, THAT's dangerous!
66** Increased with the [[GreekChorus Prinny commentary]] in the DS version, when they wonder how one would [[{{Squick}} block it]].
67** Even funnier: if you have a good enough Thief, you can ''steal'' the Horse Wiener from the zombie and ''equip'' it yourself!
68* Laharl and Flonne meeting Jennifer, and hearing assumptions that demons are horrible monsters with tentacles, which the two of them take offense to and wonder where she got those ideas from.
69** At first, Jeniffer assumes Laharl is just a kid and asks if the demons have sucked his brains, eaten his arms or anal probed him. When Laharl has his horrified reaction towards her sexy body, she deduces that he's just going through puberty.
70* After the boss fight with the previous Defender of the Earth, Flonne is angry at Laharl for not throwing the fight and says he's "The worst" before the ghost cuts her off and says that even though he lost, he can still pass on. Everyone prepares to move on, but Laharl and Etna start to wonder what exactly Flonne was going to call Laharl. Thurday promptly states "Now calculating, now calculating," and as he prepares to give the answer, Flonne does a BigNo and slams him into a wall. Etna replies she's worse than a demon. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Considering what happens at the end of the game in canon...]]
71* Episode 10. Its plot revolves around ''chasing Mid-Boss [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous because he stole their picnic basket]].''
72** Before the picnic begins, Laharl is running Gordon ragged with chores around the castle. Gordon tries to get Thursday to help, but....
73-->'''Thursday''': ROBOTS REQUIRE REST, TOO. THURSDAY WILL ATTEND PICNIC WITH JENNIFER. LA LA LA~
74** Upon catching up with Mid-Boss, Gordon, Jennifer, and Thursday do a hammy Power Rangers-esque pose. Flonne gets jealous that they're stealing the show and forces Laharl and Etna to go along, and their presentation is so damn unenthusiastic.
75* At the start of chapter 4, read the "something good" as Flonne offering her virginity and the scene CrossesTheLineTwice. [[MetaFic Disgaea Thumbnail Theater]] draws a huge lampshade on it.
76-->'''Etna:''' Get your mind out of the gutter, Prince. This ain't no [[HGame hentai game]].
77* Laharl and Etna's rather nonchalant reaction to Kurtis' DarkAndTroubledPast.
78-->'''Kurtis:''' I thought you might like to know... It's been 5 years since I lost my wife and daughter... And with them, my soul...
79-->'''Laharl:''' Hey, he's giving us his life story.
80-->'''Etna:''' Should we...attack now?
81-->'''Flonne:''' No, we have to listen! TheRival always has a tragic past.
82-->'''Kurtis:''' ...May I continue?
83-->'''Flonne:''' Oh, please, by all means.
84** After being defeated, Kurtis requests that they kill him. Laharl and Etna's responses are just as nonchalant.
85--->'''Kurtis:''' I lost... Now, finish me...
86--->'''Laharl:''' Okay.
87--->'''Etna:''' We'll kill you in one painless blow♥
88--->'''Flonne:''' You can't!
89* Kurtis makes his return to help the party when they're blocked by powerful demons in Celestia. It's supposed to be a triumphant moment, but it's hard for the characters and the players to take it seriously because he's a green Prinny.
90* In "War of the Netherworld, part 2", as the party boards the battleship Gargantua, Gordon surmises that Carter might have ordered for Jennifer's modification. Laharl, Etna, and Flonne then begin to imagine what the modified Jennifer would look like and we're treated to an image of a HumongousMecha Jennifer with drills for breasts. Gordon twice has to get them to wave away the image.
91** Later, we finally get to see the modified Jennifer, and she looks no different from regular Jennifer. Laharl, Etna, and especially Flonne are disappointed.
92* One of the goodies that comes with the limited edition of ''Disgaea 1 Complete'' is a "Noppai" mousepad of Etna. In other words, it's an oppai mousepad[[note]]a type of mousepad that has a portrait of a character with a wrist rest in the shape of the character's breasts[[/note]]...that's ''completely flat'', reflecting Etna's flatness.
93* Some of the item descriptions are pretty amusing.
94** Longbow: Actually, it's not that long.
95** Broadsword: I worked very hard on this, please buy it! ♥
96** Dimensional Cape: [[ShapedLikeItself It's a cape that is, like, dimensional]]
97** Bastard Sword: Nice guys can use it too.
98** Mortuus Blade: Sounds like a meaningful name, but it's not.
99** Stabbing Knife: You really shouldn't stab people with this.
100** Amnesia Spear: What type of spear were we talking about?
101** Gae Bolga: Please don't sell me♥
102** Bow of Havoc: Disappointing, considering the name.
103** Model 24: [[CaptainObvious It hurts if it hits. Well, duh!]]
104** Tentacles: [[NaughtyTentacles Good for groping all sorts of places ♥]]
105** Karlten: Legendary gun used by some guy.
106** Headhunter: Great for chopping heads off♥
107** Axe of Death: A lucky foe might win a poison death!
108** Blessed Staff: It doesn't mean that YOU will be blessed.
109** Electric Eel: TastesLikeChicken
