Context Funny / WelcomeToTheNHK

Go To

1* In the second episode, a worried Satou imagines that if he doesn't meet Misaki at the park tonight, then a masked pervert will molest her. Followed by the news media starting a witch hunt, blaming Satou for failing to protect his friend.
2* The entire dream analysis. "C'mon, tell me about the ''snake'' with the ''rock-hard'' scales..."
3* Satou's [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot over-the-top]] [[ClicheStorm proposal]] for his and Yamizaki's [[HGame gal game]]'s protagonist is so ludicrous and complex that it must be seen to be believed. WebVideo/JesuOtaku even used the audio from the scene to ''[[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/5-second-movies/24313-anime-in-5-seconds summarise the entirety of anime in less than a minute]]''.
4** It also arguably fits into the awesome category, too. The scene in the anime (links to dub) ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnXTuwfKqBo#t=1m18s can be seen here]]''.
5* From Yamazaki's flashback: "Oh no, it's that retard tomboy! Quick, to our anti-retard fort!"
6* BEGONE, DIRTY WHORES!
7** "Yeah, well, begone yourself, asshole."
8** "That was pathetic, Satou!"
9* In one of Satou's delusional and paranoid nightmares, he dreams that Misaki is actually an evil, {{card carrying| villain}}, [[HumanoidAbomination not-quite-human]] agent of the NHK, who plans to [[FemmeFatale seduce]] him into the {{hikikomori}} lifestyle forever, taunting him and [[EvilLaugh cackling like a witch]].
10* At the end of the episode where Satou realizes that he's accidentally joined a suicide pact on a remote island, his final narration is "This is the worst vacation ever!".
11* Misaki stopping Satou's suicide attempt, ''also'' doubles as [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]].
12--> '''Satou''': I am nothing! I am just a rock on the side of the road! ''[About to jump]''
13--> '''Misaki''': You're wrong!
14--> '''Satou''': ''[Stops]'' Eh?
15--> '''Misaki''': You are not a rock on the side of the road! You are a human being! A flesh and blood, total failure of a human being!
16--> '''Satou''': ...What?
17--> '''Misaki''': A Hikikomori like you is more worthless than a stray dog! You are... you are the only person in the world more useless and a waste of space than I am! So... so... please, you can't die now... you just can't! I need you... I need you! ''[Cries]''
18--> '''Satou''': ...I'm jumping!
19** And then Yamazaki convinces Satou that jumping off a cliff is ''too dramatic a death for a loser like him.''
20** And then Satou ''slips and nearly falls off the cliff by accident.''
21** Even funnier is that this resurfaces at the end of the anime. Just as Satou was about to accomplish his Suicide Attack against "God/NHK", a grate breaks his fall... denying him a dramatic death. His response?
22--->'''Satou (english dub)''': WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?
23*** Yamazaki was right.
24* And then there's the whole Pyramid scheme business, it's actually pretty TruthInTelevision.
25** "There sure are some stupid people in this world, Hahahah.... WAIT A SECOND, THAT'S US!"
26* Satou downloading two hundred gigabytes of porn in one night. Two hundred gigabytes. Of porn. In one night!
27** Keep in mind this was set up in an area before HD porn was common, and harddrive space has smaller. It's still impressive considering he only downloaded pictures.
28* Activating Hyper Self-Pleasure Mode!
29** His mom walked in while he's masturbating to porn on 5 or 6 computer monitors. This scene is sadly manga-exclusive.
30* The MMORPG arc will have you laugh like a lunatic while simultaneously bringing out the {{Big No}}. All those games go like that. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
31** The [[RealSongThemeTune "Dame dame dame Ningen" (Failure of a Human)]] song while Satou is doing nothing but playing his game.
32** Misaki's awkward attempts at getting a game-addicted Satou's attention, by dressing in strange costumes.
33** Yamazaki enters Satou's apartment and [[spoiler:reveals that he was "Mia" all along]]. Yamazaki manages to snap Sato back to his senses, and destroys his delusions about making money through the MMO game, by warning him of a [[ImagineSpot hypothetical]] BadFuture:
34*** Satou might permanently become an ''even worse'' loser, by [[BasementDweller living with his parents]] for the next 30 years, and would [[FormerlyFit turn into]] a [[{{Gonk}} hideously]] [[FatBastard obese]] shell of his [[IWasQuiteALooker former self]], still playing the same game all day and night. He would lose all of his friends and family, eventually starving to death alone and still would [[EpicFail not have made a single sale]]. Also counts as NightmareFuel, and would've been a TearJerker if it actually did happen.
35** In the manga version, Misaki tries to get Sato to quit cold turkey and had him tied to a chair under the assumption of bondage play. When Sato accidentally offended her, she tapes his mouth shut and abandoned him. He was stuck for a week until he figured out he should call for help in the MMORPG, which is how he found out Kaoru is Mia. How he had not died of starvation is a mystery.
36* Two words: Trap Yamazaki.
37* The fact that Satou gets so pissed off at his neighbor that he temporarily overcomes his mental illness just to scream at him.
38* Satou's "ХУṄ" T-shirt - triumph of [[http://www.russki-mat.net/page.php?l=RuEn&a=%D1%85%D1%83%D0%B9 explicit Russian profanity]] in a Japanese anime.
