2 [[caption-width-right:350:[[NotWhatItLooksLike It’s most definitely not what you think it is.]]]]
3* The following lines [[ItMakesSenseInContext make perfect sense in context]].
4** "Dude. She's making ''fun'' of you."
5** "NOW! PANTS OFF!"
6** "The proof is in the pudding. The pudding...of their doom."
7** "Come get some hot stuff! Ooh! Hot! Hot stuff! Come get some!" "... I'll take one."
8** "F this! F it to the high heavens!"
9** "I am not a.. A spicy tuna roll!"
10** "Behold the private dick extraordinaire."
11** "Do me like this."
12* Neku's response to Shiki asking if he knows Beat.
13-->'''Neku:''' Don't insult me.
14* For anyone who has taken a geometry class, hearing Sho Minamimoto smoothly saying "SOH CAH TOA!" is the funniest. Damn. Thing. Ever.
15* Shiki is talking about how one's clothing choices reflects their personality. Neku shoots back with, "I wish I had more zippers... so I could tell you to zip it!" As a pun, [[{{Pun}} it's rather mediocre.]] However, when one remembers that Tetsuya Nomura, TWEWY's character designer, [[LampshadeHanging is rather infamous for giving his characters zipper-laden costumes...]]
16* Some of the minds you read are pretty funny, particularly a skater lamenting screwing up a move, and consoling himself that he "[[GroinAttack only needs one]]" to have kids.
17* Uzuki challenges Neku and Beat to a game of "Reaper Sport 4", but Beat doesn't know what it is, and they just kind of wander around until Uzuki gets frustrated and demands to know why they aren't playing tag seriously ('''Beat''': "So, Reaper Sport 4 is..." '''Uzuki''': "It's TAG, you dolt!"). Then while she's in the midst of her rant, Neku just quietly walks up to her and: [[DeadpanSnarker "Tag. You're it."]]
18* "Take this!" "Dumbass!" "Come back when you grow a pair." The latter sounds even funnier if Beat says it after defeating Tigris Cantus.
19** "It's a party in my mouth!"
20* Not to mention the Tin-Pin Slammer sidequest in 'Another Day', complete with Neku's 'emo urges', and Sho Minamimoto being ''the son'' of Ken Doi, the Ramen Shop owner!
21-->'''Neku:''' Must... resist... emo... urges....!
22** Speaking of the Ramen Shop owner:
23--->'''Neku''': I'm looking for Dr. Pin.\
24'''Ken Doi''': ''[GlowingEyesOfDoom]'' '''''...What? Who told you that name?'''''
25** One of the most amusing bits of Another Day:
26--->'''Ken Doi:''' I'm sure you will, young man. Their hideout is in Miyashita Park.\
27'''Neku:''' .....\
28'''Neku:''' .....\
29'''Neku:''' .....\
30'''Neku:''' (How do you hide out in a park?)
31** Everything out of Shuto's mouth in regards to the "Crayon Warriors" thing.
32** "Shut up and walk, dear. ♥"
33*** "If anything happens, I want to be there to wa- I mean, stop it." Who knew Shiki was a YaoiFangirl?
34** "This kid is the [[HoYay Roy G. Biv of Tin Pin strategy!]] When he sees a hole, [[DoubleEntendre he knows how to fill it!"]]
35** Joshua's numerous instances of [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaking of the fourth wall]]. "What? I'm up against an unnamed character?! What a waste..."
36** "I should be pink, because pink is the color of love and a humanitarian like me loves people!" Says ''Joshua'' of all people, with a completely straight face.
37** This little exchange after Neku beats Shiki at Tin Pin.
38-->'''Shiki:''' There goes my dreams of becoming the champ...\
39'''Neku:''' [[DeadpanSnarker The price of sucking, I’m afraid.]]\
40
41** Neku finding out about Dr. Pin after all of the pins were stolen -
42--->'''Shuto:''' Meet us at the ramen shop in Dogenzaka!\
43'''Neku:''' We're getting ramen?\
44'''Shuto:''' That's our secret base!\
45'''Neku:''' You have a secret ramen base?\
46'''Shuto:''' Go tell Doc there what happened!\
47'''Neku:''' There's a ramen doctor at your secret ramen base?
48** "Dibs on the Rainbow!"
49** Let's face it, all of ''Another Day'' is a Crowning Day Of Funny.
50* Beat. A favorite:
51-->'''Beat:''' You's the idiots, yo. I ain't treading on thin ice!\
52'''Uzuki:''' What?\
53'''Beat:''' Shibuya ain't cold enough for ice, stupid!\
54'''Uzuki:''' [[BeatPanel .....]] \
55'''Kariya:''' [[SarcasmFailure .....]]\
56'''Neku:''' [[RuleOfThree .....]]
57** (snerk) '''[[{{Pun}} Beat]]''' Panel...
58* The solving of the enigma of [[SeriousBusiness What Happened To Def Märch's Mic]].
59** "This mic is zetta sexy!"
60** And in that segment, they remark that there are freaky sounds in the megaphone someone left behind. They play it, and it's of Sho Minamimoto shouting "Sine! Cosine! TANGENT!"
61** Neku referring to the whole thing as "the detour from hell."
62* Joshua Day 6, there are three scripted fights with Taboo Noise between the Scramble and Udagawa, all of which are Neku trying to help someone. The first is a Support Reaper, who Neku can try to help out of altruism. The second is Sota, who Neku [[ButThouMust tries to help]] out of compassion. The third is [[ThoseTwoGuys Kariya and Uzuki]]... and Neku does not have such a nice reason if he tries to help.
63-->'''Neku:''' Let's do it. [[EmbarrassingRescue They'll hate it.]][[labelnote:*]]Uzuki does indeed[[/labelnote]]\
64'''Joshua:''' ''(grinning)'' You're so vindictive.
65* Do you think partner gameplay is confusing? Well, [[DumbMuscle so does Beat]]. He only knows ''his own fighting style'' by a mnemonic Rhyme told him back in the first half of Week 1, describing it "like poker" at the mandatory Reaper wall between the scramble crossing and 104.
66-->'''Beat''' ''(DS version)'': Two cards on the ground, pick one up in the air... Lay on the skull, and kablam, I'm there!\
67'''Beat''' ''(Remix versions)'': Toss out the bad cards and slide in the good... Chain 'em together, and clean up the hood!\
68'''Neku''': That's... confusing.\
69'''Beat''': Well... un-fuse it! I can't figure it out, so you gotta!
70* The more you buy from stores, the more the store owners like you. Every store owner, from Ken Doi to Mr. H, become increasingly friendly towards you, as they appreciate Neku's continued patronage. Every store owner, that is, except Mick, the recurring NPC who runs Shadow Ramen in Dogenzaka. He already starts treating you friendly and humbly, but the more you raise your customer level with him, the more he suspects that Neku is a StalkerWithACrush. [[MistakenForGay And he's absolutely]] ''[[PorkyPigPronunciation terrified]]'' [[https://lparchive.org/The-World-Ends-With-You/Update%2039/31-image023.png of this.]]
71** If you buy something from Bel Airplane (an extremely high-class Pegaso outlet) with low friendship...
72--->'''Shopkeeper:''' Please, allow me. [[ThisCannotBe (What? How!?)]]
73* The little conversation that takes place when Kitaniji first introduces Higashizawa to the rest of the Reapers.
74-->'''Minamimoto:''' Hey, Megs-- Who’s the bulldozer?\
75'''Kitaniji:''' Meet Higashizawa-- this session’s Game Master. He’ll be handling my affairs in my stead.\
76'''Higashizawa:''' You do me a great honor, sir. Watch! I will turn this week’s fracas into a fricassee!\
77'''Minamimoto:''' You planning to erase them, or EAT them?
78* After Joshua's rant about Shibuya and how they're walking through a place of history and literature Neku's deadpan response of "I feel so epic." was rather hilarious.
79* The fact that Sho Minamimoto's HP is 3141. Even better: his HP in taboo form is 5926. In case you didn't get it, they're the digits of pi.
80* The [=NPCs=]' thoughts are occasionally amusing, but this one takes the cake.
81-->Uhh, I'm not good with crowds...\
82Crowds bring out those symbols–the weebers!\
83I can see them everywhere!\
84There! Clinging to that guy's back–WEEBERS! Weebie weebie weebie...
85** There's also this.
86--->I thought I saw someone with wings the other day...\
87No more caffeine.
88** Another goes something like "HEY, YOU. Yeah, ''[[BreakingTheFourthWall you]]''. Stop reading my mind."
89** A bit of a variation; a few [=NPCs=] can think something along the lines of "What are you doing reading my mind? If you think you can mind control me, you've got another thing coming!" It was probably foreshadowing, but it's highly amusing to see the same sprite a few chapters later thinking decidedly differently.
90* When Kariya catches Joshua using his innate power, he criticizes him for a bit before letting him off with a warning.
91-->So let's just say I blinked. Not next time, though. You'll be erased before you know it.\
92...[[BrilliantButLazy By Uzuki]]. Later!
93* Some of your partner's reactions when you run away from a fight:
94-->'''Joshua''': Oh, we're running? You didn't seem the type.\
95'''Neku''': ......\
96'''Joshua''': Well, I suppose it's inevitable...sometimes. Hee hee...\
97'''Neku''': ''I suppose you're an ass. All the time.''
98** Worst is when you do it too many times in a row and Josh... says... ''nothing''. That creeps Neku out more than anything else in the entire game. And the reason why their sync rate drops is because Neku ''is'' the one frustrated instead of his partner.
99*** What was quoted above is what happens after you run away just once or twice. When Joshua's starting to get annoyed, he starts grinding Neku's nerves a little bit more. When Neku complains about that, Joshua swears not to say another word on the matter...hence his silence when he's really annoyed. He's being even more of a {{Jerkass}} than he usually is.
100--->'''Joshua''': ...\
101'''Neku''': ...What?\
102'''Joshua''': ...\
103'''Neku''': WHAT? Just say it!\
104'''Joshua''': ..........Well, you're awfully...\
105'''Neku''': What?\
106'''Joshua''': ...........Hm.\
107'''Neku''': ''You know what? Bite me!''
108** His annoyance at showing 777 the wrong phone-past-photo is at least worth a smile, too.
109* This gem from around the middle of Joshua's week: "Har har, you're killing me, Josh. Oh wait..."
110* Uzuki's continued annoyance at not being able to do anything in Week Two. The [[VillainsOutShopping Tin Pin]] match is particularly memorable.
111** Later, the "tag game" with her in Week Three. Uzuki's HairTriggerTemper is always a reliable source of humor.
112*** "New mission! Defeat the pissed off reaper!"
113* Kariya gets Beat's pin of Rhyme and promises to hand it over if the Players do as he says.
114-->'''Neku:''' Swear it?\
115'''Kariya:''' On my life. [[DeadAllAlong Wait]], [[DidntThinkThisThrough that doesn't work]].
116* Neku answering his phone at some point. "Hello. Dead kid speaking."
117* Neku and Beat are together, and Beat's idiocy starts getting on Neku's nerves.
118-->'''Neku:''' Must... trust... partner...
119* [[CrossesTheLineTwice You can use the Rhyme pin on Reaper Beat]]. How's that for VideoGameCrueltyPotential? Impractical, yes, but still funny.
120** Doubles as a TearJerker due to aforementioned VideoGameCrueltyPotential.
121* Neku and Joshua playing Tin Pin Slammer in the beginning of the fourth day, what really kicks is Neku doing a pose very similar to Joshua after he won and keep in mind that's the only time he used that pose. [[http://sdb.drshnaps.com/display.php?object=1765 2nd one on the bottom.]]
122* Makoto's poor boss is the victim for testing out new gameplay mechanics on Shiki's Day 3 and Day 5.
123** After a briefing from Rhyme about sending memes into peoples' heads, you stumble upon the suit having a bad day and trying to figure out how to improve his mood. Available memes on this day (if you go out of your way to get them before the tutorial) are 'blackout' (thinks he needs to power down), 'fuse' (thinks he needs to blow his fuse), and 'ramen' (thinks he needs a meal). No matter the result, he has no idea where to go from there.
124-->'''Suit:''' Ah, crap...\
125'''Neku:''' Is that guy gonna be okay?\
126'''Shiki:''' Well, at least we know how it works, now. We'll work on finesse next time.
127** Your introduction to Reaper Creeper is the suit trying to figure out what to do with all this "merchandise coming out of nowhere", and asking Reaper Creeper. White means 'yes', Black means 'no', the Gate means 'neither'. Once you successfully move the coin to one of the circles slowly enough that it works, the suit observes that the answer is 'clear as day'... and then realizes that he didn't really think his question through.
128-->'''Suit:''' Reaper... Creeper... What was my last question?\
129'''Neku:''' ...Let's move on.\
130'''Shiki:''' Let's.
131* If you scan the [=NPCs=]' thoughts, the one labelled "Clones?" will earn you the following message:
132-->So then, CAT's this group of twenty different creators... all with the same face?\
133Makes sense... I think?\
134Is that even possible?
135** Funny enough on its own, but when you play Another Day and get the Secret Reports, you find out that this is in fact ''entirely possible'', because Hanekoma, being an Angel, is able to visit alternate universe versions of himself - who's to say he never had 19 other selves help [[MundaneUtility him out for a bit]]?
136* It is kind of an AccidentalPun (only because we know Beat), but Beat calls Kariya "Lollipop" and keeps bringing up "Licking" (fighting) Kariya.
137* En route through the Shibuya River, Neku and Beat find Shiki in the Trail of the Bygone. Neku admits that Shiki was his entry fee... and ''everyone'' reacts at the realization that [[ImpliedLoveInterest Shiki is what Neku values most]][[note]]In reality, Kitaniji just needed an excuse to justify Shiki not coming back to life with the Composer gone, but they never learn that. And considering Neku does not question or find it suspicious at all, in the end it's probably close enough.[[/note]].
138* Using a certain fusion attack leads to this short yet sweet exchange:
139-->'''Joshua:''' Follow my lead.\
140'''Neku:''' Screw that!
141* Another fusion attack involves Mr. Mew growing giant and shooting eye lasers.
142* One of Joshua's tutorials has this little gem:
143-->Joshua is a prickly partner for a laundry list of reasons.
144** In the Solo Remix, the line is instead:
145--->Annoyingly enough, Joshua is nothing like your previous partner.
146* After defeating the final boss and then loading your game again, you get this:
147-->You can access the Chapter Selection Menu via the Home Menu. That's the only way out of this room. Got it? Good. [[LemonyNarrator Tutorial box out.]]
148* Amidst all the [[WhamEpisode terrible happenings]] during "A New Day" in the ''Final Remix'', a few moments of humour stand out.
149** Coco says hello like they're old friends. [[RememberTheNewGuy Neku and Beat have no idea who she is]]. Coco takes umbrage.
150** The first screen change of the game is leaving the Scramble Crossing to the north... and ending up at Shibukyu Dept. Store, on the other side of 104, without passing through 104 first. Beat says that he's "pretty sure" something's up.
151** Joshua - or rather Yoshiya - is a ''stuttering loser''. When Neku asks if he's the Game Master, Joshua admits that he wouldn't consider himself a 'master', but that he's somewhat proud of his skill with mouse and key-
152--->'''Beat:''' Not that kinda game, yo!
153** Hanekoma mentions that someone's causing mischief in Shibuya. Beat asks who Miss Chiff is. When it's revealed that Coco [[BitchInSheepsClothing is the one responsible]], Beat's realization is "She's Miss Chiff?"
154* In the midst of an otherwise very serious WhamEpisode on Day 6 of Beat's week, you encounter one Reaper who escaped the AssimilationPlot because he [[TheSlacker ditched work]] when Kitaniji distributed the Red Skull pins to the other Reapers. The best part? [[EntertaininglyWrong He concludes that everyone was just ordered to act weird.]]
155* Sho's insults tend towards the hilarious. "Attention, all yoctograms!" springs to mind.
156* In Episode 8 of the anime, Konishi confronts Beat about how he used his Reaper assignment as a pretext to help Neku out.
157-->'''Beat''': You saw through that?\
158'''Neku''': Even I saw through that.
159* In the anime's final episode, Neku takes umbrage after Joshua immobilizes Beat and Shiki and causes them to levitate in a crucified position.
160-->'''Joshua''': I know how precious your friends are to you, so relax. They're fine.\
161'''Beat''': The hell did you do?!\
162'''Joshua''': Fine, but very noisy. ''(snaps his fingers and prevents Beat and Shiki from speaking)''
163%%If your new entry does not involve abridged series, keep it above this point.
164* On a meta level, some of the fan abridged series are pretty hilarious:
