Context Funny / Kaiji

Go To

1* Mikoko's picnic with Kaiji in the third series; the scene was so popular that they based the second anime season's ED on it.
2* Pretty much every time Sakazaki talks about his daughter.
3* Otsuki's VillainousBreakdown; he waves his fists around and shouts "NO COUNT" over and over again. His lackey and friend Numakuwa gives him a tired look that just screams "wow, he really has [[SanitySlippage lost it]] this time".
4* Muraoka suggesting ''TabletopGame/{{Uno}}'' as the game for his gamble with Kaiji in series 3; the fact that it's the last page of a chapter combined with Kaiji's over-the-top reaction makes it look like some kind of bizarre {{Cliffhanger}}.
5** Made even more hilarious by the fact that Tonegawa's spinoff reveals that one of TheMenInBlack suggested Uno as the game they'd have debtors play in the first arc. StrangeMindsThinkAlike?
6* Tonegawa dramatically announcing that, for the first meeting of the group tasked with creating an event to entertain the president, they will be doing...[[MundaneMadeAwesome introductions]]. Including stuff like "what is your favourite hobby". For a group specifically tasked with coming up with an extremely diabolical event.
7** Him trying to remember the names of each man in black, not helped by almost all of them having similar sounding or confusing names. At the end, he also notices that ''every single one of them'' said that their hobby was bowling.
8*** When Tonegawa dismisses them in a rage, they all go out bowling.
9** Tonegawa has a lot of trouble keeping Kawasaki/Yamazaki and Ogino/Hagio straight. It takes him a very long time to get a handle on the latter, and he turns down Hagio's twin brother when he applies for the job because he doesn't want to get thrown off again. But, despite the narrator stating this is all due to his great level of attention to detail being tripped up by small variances, he never notices or complains about his team having a Nagata and a Nakata -- more common and more similar names than the pairs he ''does'' mix up.
10* The Manga Arc of Kaiji and the gang trying to get away with the 2.4 Billion they earned as Teiai does everything they can to stop them is actually full of hilarious moments, especially since Endou returns just so we can get his perspective of Kaiji's antics from the Teiai side: Endou is distracted by his desire for KFC and Kaiji gets away because of it, Kaiji's Mom of all people outsmarting an entire team of Teiai blacksuits, Teiai publishing a manhunt callnumber and being immeadeatly overworked by phonecalls of hopefull debtors just immeadeatly calling when they see suspicious people in the hopes they are Kaiji and Co... even the Narration makes fun of Endou occassionaly by pointing out how his assumptions on what is happening is wrong.
