7!!The anime
8
9* In Episode 1, after the tanker class gathers for the first time, the door to the garage where the school's tanks have been stored for the last 20 years gets opened. The reveal of the condition of the tanks is not what anyone was expecting, to say the least.
10-->'''Hana''': At least they have personality, wouldn't you say?
11-->'''Saori''': I believe the word you're looking for is "[[TheAllegedCar rust]]."
12* In Episode 2, after most of Team C pokes fun at the [=StuG III=] they've been assigned to, Erwin (who more or less knows of her soul name's exploits in both World Wars) lists its accomplishments, and then, while pointing off into the horizon, delivers this line:
13-->''Apologize to the Finnish!''
14** Bonus funny points for the historical reference [[spoiler:being ''intentionally'' wrong]].[[note]]She's off by one war. [=StuG III=] didn't serve in Winter War. However, they saw use in Continuation War. Although, considering the Finns and the Russians fought in both, she's wrong only on a technicality.[[/note]]
15* Also from episode 2, the introduction of the instructor.
16-->"Isn't that the headmaster's car?"
17-->''Now they've gone and done it."
18* Aya asks the internet how to start the tank, and for her trouble receives responses such as "Google it, noob!" and "You start by taking off your clothes."
19* In Episode 3, Mako's reaction to learning that they need to be at a friendly match by 6AM... which means she needs to get up at ''5AM''. She nearly facefaults, before trying to quit the team. To make sure she wakes up on time, said team drives the Panzer IV to her house and fires a blank shell from the main gun... which just barely wakes her up!
20** And a close look at the same scene shows Mako's bed with [[FreezeFrameBonus five alarm clocks]] already emplaced, yet ''still'' didn't wake her up.
21* Since early tanks didn't have internal radios, it's impossible for the commander to verbally communicate with the crew over the tank's engine noise, so she has to give commands to the driver by kicking her to indicate which way to turn. HilarityEnsues (not to mention, considerable [=SadoMasochism=]-flavored AccidentalInnuendo) as Saori tries this on Hana in episode 2.
22-->'''Hana:''' Kick me as hard as you can!\
23'''Saori:''' What?! Fine! Then LEFT!\
24''(Saori kicks her with extreme prejudice)''
25-->'''Hana:''' Could you kick me a little softer?
26** In the manga, they mention that was done mainly with the smallish Japanese tanks. Cue Saori's legs not reaching Hana's shoulders in their roomier German tank and Miho handing her a stick to poke Hanna's shoulders with.
27** There's a frantic repeat of this in Episode 11 by the Kuromorimine crews, as the Student Council goes Hetzer trolling.
28* The following exchange in the 3rd OVA (the girls are climbing a ladder):
29-->'''Saori:''' ''"Don't look up at me!"''\
30'''Mako:''' ''"What's the problem? We're all girls."''\
31'''Hana:''' ''"Perhaps there's [[DoubleEntendre something]] that would be troublesome for others to see."''
32(Note that the director famously prohibited the animators from including any panty shots. Troublesome indeed)
33* Episode 4/The fourth OVA.
34** The Anglerfish Dance complete with costumes and a moving platform for maximum exposure.
35*** Not to mention when Anzu has the student council participating in the humiliating dance, unlike everybody else, she is seen looking VERY happy and enjoying this, despite that she herself is part of the humiliation.
36** Momo's [[SarcasmMode clam and collected demeanor as the shooting begins.]]
37-->'''Momo:''' ''"Fire back! Fire till the tank falls apart!"''
38** Caesar and Erwin sharing an EvilLaugh after taking out a Matilda II.
39** The Student Council team roars in to the rescue, with Momo firing into a mass of 4 tanks at point blank range... [[EpicFail and misses, as the shot flies into the narrow gap between two tanks]]. Cue [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill all four firing back.]]
40*** Better yet, anytime Momo [[ATeamFiring does gunner duty]] prior to the semi-finals.
41--->'''Yuzu:''' [[RunningGag Momo-chan, you missed!]]
42** The owner of an Ōarai (the city, not the school) shop that gets smashed into by a Matilda positively {{Squee}}s at the opportunity to remodel it with the insurance money, prompting a fellow shop owner sitting next to him to pray that ''his'' shop also gets wrecked!
43--->'''Shop owner 1:''' ''"My shop!"'' ({{beat}}) ''Now I can have it renovated!"''\
44'''Shop owner 2:''' ''"It's a good omen."''\
45'''Shop owner 3:''' ''"Fingers crossed they'll also crash into mine!"''
46*** Bonus funny points for being TruthInTelevision; the real-world counterpart of that shop, in actuality an upscale hotel, received a HUGE number of customers because of it.
47** Team Hippo tries to hide from an oncoming enemy tank in the alley ways, reasoning that the lack of a turret on their [=StuG=] means that it would be harder to see. They forgot the ''massive banners'' they stuck on it extends far above the alley and the fact that the alley only has wooden fences. Cue the enemy tank one-shotting them through the fence mid-sentence.
48** In the middle of a serious argument with her daughter, Hana's mother cries that she hates Panzers and wishes all them were "melted into scrap iron". Cue [[ReactionShot close-up]] of [[FanGirl Panzer-obsessed]] Yukari's [[BlueWithShock shocked face]], with [[ClintSquint narrowed eyes]] and [[TwitchyEye twitching eyebrows]] with [[ColorWash all of it]] in [[MoodLighting dramatic]] [[DeliberatelyMonochrome black and white]], [[ComicalOverreacting reduced to shock and repeating her words]].
49* Episode 5.
50** Mako [[DeadpanSnarker snarkily responds]] to Erika's description of an unwritten rule that schools with no chance of winning shouldn't enter the tournament by saying that it would be utterly humiliating if one of those schools defeated a well-funded one like Kuromorimine.
51-->'''Erika''': There's an unspoken rule that everyone knows: schools that will just embarrass Sensha-do should stay out of the tournament.\
52'''Mako''': It'd sure be pretty embarrassing if one of those teams beat the veterans that all sat around in their ivory towers coming up with that rule.
53** The Panzer Cafe. Everything from the bell to call the waiter over being a tank that makes a firing noise when pressed, to the military-style costumes they're wearing to ''the cakes ordered in the shape of tanks''. They're brought on the tables by automated scale models of tank transporter trucks!
54** All being various bits of TruthInTelevision, though perhaps not all in the same restaurant. Themed restaurants with waitstaff in uniforms (maids, ninja, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam EFSF or Zeon soldiers]], etc.), themed menu items, and some sushi restaurants have little automated trains that deliver orders to your table.
55** Miho and the others visit Yukari's house.
56--> '''Miho''': Is Yukari here?
57--> '''Jungorou''': And you are?
58--> '''Saori''': Her friends.
59--> '''Jungorou''': Her friends? (Gets shocked) H-her friends?!
60--> '''Yoshiko''': Calm down, dear.
61--> '''Jungorou''': But they're her friends! Friends of Yukari!
62--> '''Yoshiko''': I know that. Thanks for taking care of Yukari.
63--> '''Jungorou''': (In seiza position before he bows) Yes! Thank you for taking care of her!
64** The girls look at some old pictures of Yukari in her room, including one where she has a terrible haircut instead of her signature style. Yukari mentions that she didn't have a lot of friends then because of her tank obsession. Saori immediately suggests that it may have instead been because of that haircut.
65** Yukari's infiltration
66*** adding credits to her infiltration video.
67*** not to mention the fact that, in the credits, she thanks Saunders for helping make the video! And she does it again, when she makes an infiltration video of Anzio!
68*** The part where she's about to change, realizes that the camera's still on, and shuts it off,
69*** Also the answer she gives when asked for identification.
70--->'''Arisa''': State your class and grade.\
71'''Yukari''': Uh well, [[Film/KellysHeroes the 6th Armored Division, Oddball, Sergeant Third Class]]!\
72''(Kei starts giggling)''
73*** Bonus funny points for Kay treating it as an InUniverse SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} of the NeverLiveItDown kind.
74---->'''Kei:''' ''(waving to Yukari)'' Hey! "Sergeant Third Class Odd Ball"!\
75'''Yukari:''' She's found me!
76*** Additional points for [[ShownTheirWork getting Oddball's unit right.]] And possibly rank- "Sergeant Third Class" is a translation of "Santō rikusō", equivalent to Sergeant E5 in the US Army. It's muddied by the Army referring to every rank between ("Buck") Sergeant and Master Sergeant as simply "Sergeant" in casual conversation, which is unusual in most militaries.
77** The response by one of Saunders tank gunner when she found out she's in a middle of an ambush.
78-->'''Saunders Gunner''': [[GratuitousEnglish JESUS!]]
79* Episode 6.
80** Arisa's ''hilarious'' breakdown as the Ōarai tanks chase her lone Sherman. Then the Ōarai tanks end up being chased by the rest (four more) of Saunders' Shermans, while they're chasing Arisa. All while the History Team keeps quoting battles where tables were turned and/or the siegers became the besieged.
81*** To elaborate more on Arisa's breakdown, she mentions how many Sherman units were produced (50 thousand), the Sherman's awesomeness (being sturdy, tough, ''surprisingly comfy'', and so easy to drive that ''a monkey with a manual'' can do it). She then rants about what should happen to Ooarai, then she proceeds to stick her head out of her Sherman to scream right at the pursuing Ōarai tanks. However, due to the sound of the tank engines and cannon firing, we only see her mouth moves as she screams. (this being commented by Hana). The final things she mentions seems to be about her unrequited love.
82-->'''Hana''': It appears she's shouting at us as they're running away.
83** How Arisa's flag tank is found is hilarious as is. Ōarai's Duck Team with their Type 89 tank comes up in the clearing in view with Arisa's Sherman. Cue a ''[[{{Beat}} whole 20 second]]'' stare off between the Type 89 and the Sherman before any reaction is made of the situation.
84* Episode 8. Katyusha's childish antics in general, especially in the original Japanese version, when she and Nonna begins singing [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_%28song%29 Katyusha]].
85** Also when she and Darjeeling start the episode having tea, after St Gloriana's has been knocked out by Kuromorimine in the semi-finals Darjeeling warns them to practice for the semi-finals, whilst Katyusha says that Oarai are just a no-name school. Darjeeling points out that they are led by a Nishizumi:
86-->'''Katyusha''': Wha-?! You didn't tell me that, Nonna!
87-->'''Nonna''': I've told you several times.
88-->'''Katyusha''': Well this is the first I've heard of it!
89-->(...)
90-->'''Katyusha''': Surely you didn't come all this way just to tell me that.
91-->'''Darjeeling''': Of course not. I just wanted to have some of this delicious tea.
92** When [[TheNapoleon Katyusha]] meets with Ōarai she realizes she's shorter than [[TokenMiniMoe Anzu]] and immidiatly asks [[HugeSchoolgirl Nonna]] to put her on her shoulders, declaring that all of them are shorter than her.
93-->'''Katyusha''': "All of you are below me, wether it's your tanks, skills or tanks!"
94-->'''Momo''': "You're sitting on her shoulders."
95-->'''Katyusha''': "I heard that!"
96* Miho's idea to improve morale when the team is trapped in a church by Pravda's team? The incredibly embarrassing and ''demoralizing'' Anglerfish (Ankou) Dance. [[SummonBackupDancers It works]].
97-->'''Miho''': Everyone, sing with me! I'll do the Ankou Dance!
98-->'''Momo''': Hey, that's going to have the opposite effect!
99** The dance is broadcast on a '''''HUGE''''' screen for all to see... including Maho, Shiho and Yuri (Hana's mom). The expressions on the latter two's faces are priceless.
100** The surprise on the Pravda messenger's face when she walks in the middle of the dance number to ask for Ōarai's answer to their ultimatum and is [[IgnoredEnemy ignored until she screams "HEY!"]] is equally funny.
101* In Episode 10, the demonstration of the Tiger(P), which was eagerly anticipated to even the odds... and then [[TheAllegedCar it gets stuck in mud, the engine overheats and it catches fire]]. The best part? The contrast between Miho's stunned expression and the Automobile Club's [[SeenItAll unconcerned reaction]]:
102-->'''Nakajima:''' Ah, crap. There it goes again. Hey, Hoshino! Get me a fire extinguisher!
103-->''(Cue to disappointed faces from Momo and Yuzu, while Miho looks on, speechless.)''
104-->'''Anzu:''' I can't really call that a tank.
105* The memorable GayMoment between Miho and her team in Episode 10:
106-->'''Saori''': "You should try getting a boyfriend yourself, Miporin."
107-->'''Miho''': "I'm... I'm... having a lot of fun being around all of you. Saori-san, Hana-san, Mako-san, Yukari-san... I love all of you."
108-->'''Yukari''' (blushing): "Nishizumi-dono just confessed her love for me!"
109* Episode 10.5, another recap, gets to the fight with Anzio, and flat out says they were skipping past that.
110* The HurricaneOfPuns shown when the School Council go to a restaurant. Every single line the store owner says has the word "Win" mangled into it. In the English dub, [[LostInTranslation the pun fails to make any sense]], so we get an [[EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped apologetic subtitle]] explaining why the store owner is saying "Chicken" over and over again.
111* Episode 11.
112** [[{{Jerkass}} Erika's]] VillainousBreakdown after her tank's [[{{pun}} Regular Breakdown]]: ChewingTheScenery, [[SkywardScream screaming curses]] with a ComicalAngryFace, [[AgitatedItemStomping stomping the grass]], [[MilkingTheGiantCow pumping fists skyward with rage]], and generally acting as a good old-fashioned CardCarryingVillain.
113** During the big rescue in the finals, the mixed language levels of the following line can bring tears of laughter in the middle of what already includes ManlyTears and TenderTears [[note]][[{{Pun}} (good thing the scene is already in a river)]][[/note]]:
114-->'''Saori:''' "Everyone! [[IGotYouCovered Cover]] Commander [[AffectionateNickname Miporin]]!"
115*** Seconds later, Leopon and Mallard teams open fire at the back, while in the [=StuG III=]...
116--->'''Saemonza:''' Never until now have I realized how much I want a rotating turret!
117** Another one from the same episode (Overlapping with [[Awesome/GirlsUndPanzer Crowning Moment of Awesome]]): Turtle Team going ''[[MeaningfulName Hetzer]] trolling''. Bonus points for Miho and Anzu invoking the infamous ''[[VideoGame/WorldOfTanks Hetzers gonna Hetz]]'', to wit:
118*** Doing a sneak attack at advancing Kuromorimine tanks which were pursuing the Ōarai tanks, disabling a Jagdpanther's tracks and taking out a Panther.
119*** Taking out ''[[ButtMonkey the same Jagdpanther they took out earlier]]'' (leading to a furious rant from its commander), then ''parallel parking'' in the middle of ''the enemy's battle formation''. [[OhCrap The startled reaction]] from the Kuromorimine tank crews when they realize Turtle Team is among them is simply [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat priceless]].
120*** They try a third time, but this time Maho is ready for them and has one of her tanks snipe at the Hetzer before it can do anything. Anzu sheepishly orders a retreat while saying "Okay, so that's not going to work a third time, got it..."
121* Kuromorimine's Panzer III is trailing behind the [[spoiler: Maus]] manically boasting about the latter's impenetrable armor. Said Panzer III promply gets taken out by a stray shot when it swerves away from its companion's protection.
122* What's the correct course of action if you have one of the worst tanks ever and you have [[CrazyEnoughToWork somehow climbed upon one of the most heavily armed and armored land vehicles to have ever fought?]] Why, [[CasualDangerDialogue politely correcting its commander on misidentifying your tank's weight class]], of course.
123-->[[spoiler:'''Maus]] commander:''' Hey, you! Light tank! Get out of there!\
124[[spoiler:'''[[FinishingEachOthersSentences Noriko]]''']]: Don't wanna! Also, the [[spoiler:[[TheAllegedCar Type 89]]]] isn't a light tank...\
125[[spoiler:'''[[FinishingEachOthersSentences Akebi]]''']]: It's a ''medium'' tank.
126* Rabbit Team's grand strategy against Kuromorimine's Elefant: [[spoiler:Go round and round the same block in a smaller, faster tank until you catch up to them from behind.]]
127* Sodoko [[spoiler:deletes all records of Mako coming in late, who]] proceeds to break character, to put it lightly.
128* [[https://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/a/image/1364/36/1364368264530.gif Dancing Granny]].
129
130!!! The OVA's
131* OVA 1's swimsuit-choosing scene is an extended funny moment. From the point they enter until they exit the store there is a hurricane of rapid-fire jokes, from Yukari's swimsuit of choice being military diving equipment, to the themed suits chosen by the other teams, ranging from loincloths to dissolving bikinis to a full-body team mascot costume. Finally topped by [[spoiler: a heavy storm]] starting as soon as they get to the beach.
132* The second OVA's [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus *pam line]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU4ofXAyXxM Complete with the bleeps]] AND the viking ship. The English dub doesn't even pretend to censor, AND gives some of the girls the required accents to boot.
133-->'''Ayumi:''' Eggs and *pam!
134-->'''Aya:''' Eggs, bacon and *pam!
135-->'''Karina:''' Eggs and bacon and sausage and *pam!
136-->'''Ayumi:''' *pam, *pam, *pam, eggs and *pam!
137-->'''All three:''' *pam! *pam! *pam! *pam! *pam! *pam!
138-->'''Azusa:''' Shut up!
139--->''(The three girls continue to chant "Delicious *pam!" as Azusa tells them in between to shut up, until she got tired.)''
140* Ōarai's victory party in OVA 6, featuring congratulatory letters from various people, and a 'hidden talents' talent contest between the teams. Highlights include:
141** Everyone wondering if Darjeeling's letter was meant to be sent to them, or to a wedding. Each of them later received a can of Anchovies from Anchovy.
142** When told that they could not use their primary skills, everyone gets upset, except for Team Anglerfish when told that they couldn't use their talent of doing the Anglerfish Dance.
143** The Morals Committee poking fun at how they all look the same.
144** Momo freaking out at how well Noriko of the volleyball team imitated her and Hana getting overzealous at their imitations but fails to recognize their impression of her.
145*** Look closely during the Saori imitation. ''[[ArtShift She imitated Saori's eyebrows.]]''
146** Despite being told they could not use their talent in history, Team Hippo kept inserting assorted history facts into their scenes from ''Literature/LittleWomen''.
147--> '''Momo''': I told you guys NO HISTORY! Clear the stage!
148** Anzu going 'off-script' during Team Anglerfish's {Sentai} [[ShoutOut team routine]].
149---> '''Anzu''': Shut up! The ankou will protect Ōarai FOREVER!!!
150*** Crosses over with awesome due to being a ShoutOut: They didn't just make any random poses; they replicated the intricate martial arts routine of ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger!''
151** The Volleyball Team getting angry at the Automobile Club using their [[TheAllegedCar Type 89]] tank as part of their magic act.
152** [[TeamMom Saori]] jumping up and down when Team Rabbit does their gymnastics act.
153** The final reveal, after the Student Council declared themselves the winner, that the top prize was effectively a year's supply of sweet potato chips.
154* This bit from ''The Real Anzio Battle'' OVA, when [[spoiler:the rest of Hippo team learn of Caesar's childhood friend Carpaccio.]]
155-->'''Oryuu:''' Who the heck is Taka-chan?
156-->'''Saemonza:''' It's probably Caesar.
157-->'''Erwin:''' She's out of her usual character.
158-->''(Caesar and Carpaccio continue their brief exchange of greetings, then the latter leaves. Caesar then turns to her crewmates...)''
159-->'''Oryuu:''' [[EmbarrassingNickname Taka-chan!]]
160-->'''Erwin:''' Seems we found Caesar's other side.
161-->'''Saemonza:''' Whoo, Whoo!
162-->'''Caesar:''' ''(Blushing)'' Wh-what?! What's so weird about that?
163** During the start of the same OVA, immediately before Anchovy dramatically announces her school's secret weapon, the bell rings and everyone runs off to lunch.
164** The entirety of the Anzio team in the OVA's Post-Credits Stinger [[spoiler:partying so hard that they overslept on the day of the finals, waking up after Oarai had already won]].
165** Duck team's panicked reactions to the constant reappearance of Anzio's CV-33s; which they've been knocking over with direct hits again and again for the past five minutes.
166-->'''Akebi:''' They're immortal!

173
174[[folder:Manga (Including ''Little Army'', ''Ribbon Warrior'', and ''MLLSD'')]]
175* In the Manga adaptation of the match against Anzio, Yukari and Erwin command the Char B1 bis along with Aya. [[CasualDangerDialogue They spend the entire battle talking about tanks and history no matter how bad the situation]], as Aya slowly loses her mind.
176* In Episode 1 Miho had to go to the infirmary when suffering from a HeroicBSOD and Saori and Hana immediately made up excuses to join her. In Chapter 7 of ''Little Army'', Emi forgoes such subtlety and instead drags Miho out by the wrist in an attempt to get out of class before the teacher sees them, and when she runs into the teacher, hastily makes up an excuse that [[BlatantLies she's taking Miho to the infirmary]], and Hitomi and Chihiro point out that they're following because they're worried, leaving the teacher taken aback with BlankWhiteEyes.
177* At the end of the first chapter of the ''Little Army'' manga, when the girls worry about how their parents will react to them being late due to unexpected complications on their test run with a Panzer IV, and consider making excuses.
178-->'''Chihiro''': Hii-chan, just say you were at my house and I'll say that I was at your house.\
179'''Emi''': And I was supposed to be back this late, so I'll be fine. It seems like the only one who's gonna get in trouble is Nishizumi-san.\
180'''Miho''': Whaaat!? G-guys, help me! My parents are so strict!\
181'''Emi''': You brought this on yourself.\
182'''Chihiro''': Miho-chan, you can just tell them you were at my house, too!\
183'''Miho''': ...with a tank?
184* In what doubles as a [[ShoutOut/GirlsUndPanzer Shout Out]], Ribbon Warrior shows us that Saunders used to have an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M22_Locust M22 "Locust"]], but when Arisa wants to use it she learns they had ''lend-leased it to someone else''. The American-designed Locust only saw service in British usage.
185* Rin's AwkwardlyGayDream in chapter 3 of Ribbon Warrior is a bizarre fantasy of her being ridden around like a horse by Shizuka in medieval Japan.
186** It gets even funnier when Shizuka shows up to their next match in full samurai armor, leading Rin to think that their dream had somehow come true.
187* Centipede team's initial struggles as a tank crew largely stem from Shizuka's decision to give orders using her feet, which results in Rin developing a foot fetish that makes it impossible for her to concentrate.
188-->'''Rin''' I'm a pervert. This is all Shizuka-hime's fault.
189* While the over the top facial expressions made by some of the characters in ''Ribbon Warrior'' can be quite [[NightmareFace unsettling]], but at the same time they are also kind of hilarious due to how they subvert the Moe art style the main series is known for.
190* Rukuriri's EpicFail entrance into the Cauldron Tournament.
191--> '''Rukuriri''' Here I am! For I the [[LargeHam Great Rukuriri]], [[TemptingFate have taken upon myself to give Bonple a swift kick to the ass]]!
192* Shizuka's reaction to Jajka performing yet another KillSteal during her fight against Maho is priceless.
193--> '''Shizuka''' Jajka! YOU FUCKING BITCH!
194* In Chapter 3 of ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'', Sodoko's reaction to seeing that her school swimsuit does not have her last name, but her much-hated nickname is priceless,
195** It then ends with [[spoiler:Alisa]] trying (and failing) to [[spoiler:sneak into Oarai with [[PaperThinDisguise a disguise that essentially consists of fake pair of sunglasses]].]] When she gets busted in chapter 4, Yukari steps in with this line:
196-->'''Yukari:''' ''(clenches fists)'' Long time no see; I'm [[InSeriesnickname Sergeant Third-class Oddball...]]
197** And after she's found out [[spoiler: she realizes Kay and Naomi are ''already there'' on vacation, making her infiltration pointless.]]
198* Chapter 8 of ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'' shows Kuromorimine getting invited to the Nishizumi house by Maho to celebrate Christmas. HilarityEnsues because of their overly serious personalities, especially because they initially think that Maho called them in to answer for their mistakes during the Tournament Finals.
199** Jagdpanther-chan arriving late... again. She gets berated by the [[spoiler:Maus]] commander for the same.
200** Erika showing up in a ridiculous raindeer costume, being the only one who undeerstood it was a party. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint She gets scolded by the others before Maho arrives.]]
201** Maho announces herself by blowing a party popper. When everybody stares at her incredilously, she simply pulls out a large bundle of them, as if it would get the point across. [[TheComicallySerious All with a perfectly blank face.]]
202** Maho proposes doing karaoke, but leaves the song choices up to the commanders since she doesn't know what would be a good song. All five of them put in their school's anthem.
203** Maho tries to cut a cake, but completely fails at cutting in a straight line.
204** Most of the commanders get models of the tanks that caused them the most trouble during the final battle; "Jagdpanther-chan" and the commander of one of the Panthers each gets a Hetzer, The commander of [[spoiler:the Maus]] gets a Type 89, the Panzer [=III=]'s commander gets [[spoiler:a Maus, reminding her of her failure to protect it]], bringing back bad memories (although Koume is quite happy to get a model of the tank Miho commands). Erika gets an Anglerfish dance costume, and Maho gets a large stuffed creature she describes as "cute".
205*** Becomes funnier when one realizes that [[spoiler:it was [[https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/girls_und_panzer_motto_love_love_sakusen_desu_ch09#13 all Anzu's idea]],]] and the gifts were (presumably) different from the ones that Miho intended, as evident from [[https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/girls_und_panzer_motto_love_love_sakusen_desu_ch09#24 her reaction.]]
206* Chapter 15 of ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'': Saori and Rabbit Team are shocked to find out that [[TheVoiceless Saki]] seemed to have fallen in love, and do everything they can to help her, even various training exercises. They then [[DatePeepers watch as Saori meets with her boyfriend]], greets her, [[spoiler:and the person pulls down her hood, revealing herself as Duck team's Shinobu, who'd been hoping to hear Saki's voice]].
207** Saori goes full MamaBear, being comically upset at the thought of Saki liking someone and [[DisproportionateRetribution having the Panzer IV on standby in case the guy turned out to be bad.]]
208* Chapter 16 and 17 of ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'':
209** Most of the Anzio girls decide to be Ooarai students because of several reasons (thinking that Ooarai is wealthier than Anzio, the cute freshmen, etc), thus leaving [[ButtMonkey poor Anchovy]] alone. Even Carpaccio and Pepperoni decide to leave for Ooarai (Carpaccio to reunite with Caesar, Pepperoni to steal the Ooarai tank-katsu recipe). They quickly leave after just a day after finding out that Ooarai does not have more than one meal time, [[LooseLips Pepperoni introducing herself as an Anzio student]] and [[ClingyJealousGirl Carpaccio seeing Oryuo's nametag in the uniform Caesar geve her.]] However, they leave while taking Momo as a hostage and, as Yuzu reports afterwards, they also ate ''the entire carrier's pasta supply.''
210** The next chapter is about Momo's time at Anzio as their POW. She then proceeds to bully her way out of prison, in the form of strict reprimands about school activities, something she felt Anzio was too slack at doing, and ordering them how to do them properly. She becomes so successful at this that a short time later, ''she became Anzio's new Duce.''
211---> '''Anchovy''': Please don't mind somebody like me New Duce, since you managed to reform Anzio, something I wasn't able to do... We will be loyal, faithful subordinates of New Duce '''Momochovy'''.
212---> '''Momo''': [[DontCallMeSir Stop it with that!]] What is this, a system of succeeding the name chovy or what?
213** When Momo is rescued (along with Pepperoni, who's kidnapped by Team Duck, and Carpaccio, who comes along with Caesar), she realizes both of her positions as vice-president and gunner/loader has been taken by members of the Public Morals Committee. It ends with her silently returning to Anzio.
214* Chapter 32 of ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'':
215** Shiho, [[AbusiveParents for all of her bitchiness towards her daughters]] in the anime, is ultimately revealed to be a deadbeat mom.
216---> '''Shiho''': For Miho and Maho to end up fighting, I'm... As a mother, I might've been lacking in dialogue with my daughters. ''(finds a "mother-daughter get along" book)'' It seems I still have much to learn.
217** Shiho's exaggerated attempts to be affectionate to Maho via skinship and allowance resulted with the latter mistakenly believing that she might've been kicked out of the Nishizumi household while talking to Erika on the cellphone.
218** Then, when Erika came to the Nishizumi household to check up on Maho (who passed out from a team tank battle with Shiho), she ends up receiving Shiho's hospitality and ''passed out from eating too much''.
219** And when Miho went back home to pay her family a visit, Shiho threw an overglorified "welcome back" celebration for her. Cue Miho fleeing back to Oarai in panic. [[SarcasmMode Good job, Shiho.]]
220* Chapter 61 of ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'' shows that BC Freedom's calm, cool, collected Marie is actually afraid of the dentist. When she does get a toothache (complete with germs represented by tiny versions of Darjeeling and Orange Pekoe), Rena and Ruka have to chase her all over. This gets to the point where they even come across the other schools' teams, including Ooarai's team practicing the Anko Dance (complete with Marie, Rena and Ruka wearing the Anko costume as well).
221* In Chapter 63 ''Motto Love Love Sakusen'', when the tankery school heads visit Oarai, while Shiho goes and takes the tour seriously, Chiyo sneaks off to try to bribe the Anglerfish Teams parents (in Mako's case, grandparent) to get their kids to enroll in her university despite only being [[GradeSkipper 2nd years]]. All of them react in hilarious ways.
222** Mako's grandmother dons a pair of shades and starts acting like her daughter's agent.
223** Yukari's parents get dollar and yen signs for eyes and can't swooning over the money.
224** Hana's mom is reluctant at first, saying that she won't do tankery in college, then Chiyo offers her access to a collection of rare ''ikebana'' vases causing her to change her mind.
225** Chiyo also offers to mold the Anglerfish into commanders, forming a new Bermuda Trio. When trying to explain this to Saori, she ends up comparing them to Pravda's Nonna and Katyusha, with Mako riding on Saori shoulders. The latter, of course balks.
226** This all ends when Shiho comes in and catches Chiyo, using the nickname that she hates. At first she gets mad, until she realizes that Shiho caught her in the act causing her to start sweating.
227** That still doesn't stop her. When Shiho humbly asks the Oarai parents and the Anglerfish Team to look after Miho because she's never had friends before, Chiyo butts in saying that Arisu didn't have friends either while also offering them money.

231* RealLife example: Construction signs in the real life Ōarai were spotted with this statement: "Construction due to damage from Sensha-do match. Please contact Sensha-do Association with regard to insurance and damage claims."
232* The Oarai waterfront hotel that gets blown by [[CuteAsABouncingBetty KV-2-tan]] was [[RealLifeWritesThePlot planning to undergo renovations]] during the making of the movie. Hotel owners and movie studio agreed for the huge blue canvases covering the construction work to be placed around the time the movie was premiered, and for the battle damage to affect those specific parts of the hotel. The side-by-side photos are incredibly amusing.
233* Another RealLife example: the following comment[[note]](quoted verbatim, including the [[{{Beat}} line break)]][[/note]] seen at the end of a short review of the series' ending in 4chan's /a/:
234-->Peace and Panzer Vor![[note]]Remember that this literally means "Peace and let the tanks advance!"[[/note]]\
235(I never thought I would utter that line in total seriousness)
236* [[RuleThirtyFour Nobody is surprised that adult video versions of the characters soon appeared]]. But fans ([[OrSoIHeard even those who haven't watched the vids themselves]]) found quite amusing than the ones depicting CasanovaWannabe, [[RunningGag never-gets-a-boyfriend]] [[UrbanLegendLoveLife Saori]] are... [[MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration solo scenes]].
237* A number of voice actresses have gone on record (ie. Creator/HitomiNabatame, Creator/AyanaTaketatsu, and Creator/AsamiSeto; who each provided voices for Erika, Alice, and Kinuyo, respectively) admitting that when they were first offered a role for this show they thought the show was going to be a {{Fanservice}}-heavy Anime with panties [[PunBasedTitle based on the title]].
238* An [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits amateur]] FanSub group that first translated to English most of the series' [=OVAs=] and suplementary material has been accused of "just [[BlindIdiotTranslation machine-translating Chinese subs]]". As answer to that, they [[HilarityEnsues released]] an ''[[TakeThat actual]]'' [[TakeThat machine translation of Chinese subs]] of the Anzio Yukari's Tank Corner and of the [[Anime/GirlsUndPanzerDerFilm movie]] (with gems like the "1935 years old [[MemeticMutation beans charriot]]" or the "[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext 70 tons of what]]") and ''threatened to release a machine translation of the whole series in such a fashion''.
239* [[https://danbooru.donmai.us/pools/11285 One fanmade comic strip]] continued after end of the ''Alice War'' OVA where the titular character [[spoiler:transferred to other High Schools after backing up from Ōarai]]. To say that the trips were not what she expected is an Understatement, and most of it is because of Alice herself:
240** [[spoiler:First, she tried to enroll in St. Gloriana. It went well at first until Alice pontificated on the supremacy of the Centurion [=MBT=] as the best British tank, while dismissing the Churchill at the same time. [[SeriousBusiness Darjeeling was not amused at slightest]].]]
241** [[spoiler:Then she transfers to Pravda, [[OpenMouthInsertFoot only to make a mistake]] by mentioning [[TheNapoleon Katyusha]]'s height deficiency despite her age, ''in front of both Katyusha and Nonna''. Poor Alice still didn't know what she said wrong as she was leaving.]]
242** [[spoiler:Saunders welcomed Alice at first and took her on a ride in their C-5 Galaxy. Alice got too excited and played with the plane's controls, crashing the plane near Kumamoto. [[AmusingInjuries While nobody got seriously injured]], Kay admitted that Alice may be too much for them.]]
243** [[spoiler:In Kuromorimine, things went well at first with students welcoming her. Erika didn't take it too kindly seeing everyone fawning over a Shimada Protege, to which she got into an argument with Alice when Erika made mention of how the Nishizumi sisters defeated her in the last match. Alice decided to transfer to Anzio so she can beat Maho in a fair game later, while poor Erika ended up in Maho's office trying to explain what happened.]]
244** [[spoiler:In Anzio, it turned out Anchovy and Pepperoni still remembered Alice's dislike for tomatoes, olives, anchovies, and cheese and managed to bake a pizza which didn't use those ingredients, just for Alice. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Alice is touched]] with their effort... only for Fukuda to appear and [[FoodAsBribe say Chihatan have Alice's favorite burger]]. Alice immediately agreed to come with her.]]
245** [[spoiler:In Chihatan, Alice was amazed at how the school's [[LeeroyJenkins combat philosophy]] mirrored that of Boko the Bear. But, upon seeing the bandaged plush toy that she brought, Nishi ordered Fukuda to fix it (without knowing that Boko had bandages for a reason), prompting Alice to transfer schools ''[[RunningGag again]]''.]]
246** [[spoiler:Finally at Continuation High, Mika already knew that Alice had been transferring to various schools, and was expecting that the latter would transfer again. While Mika did hint that she would love to have Alice in their school for good, the entirety of her speech about following what her heart desires touched the latter so much that the last two pics were that of her returning to Ōarai, where Miho was waiting for her with a Boko plush toy.]]
247* The girls learning how to play [[VideoGame/WorldOfTanks World of Tanks]] (while also teaching the reader) [[https://worldoftanks.asia/en/media/7/2106/ is rife with humor]].
