Line #146 Funny/Yotsuba


1	* Chapter 1:
2	** Koiwai's perfect description of Yotsuba to Fuuka:
3	--->'''Koiwai''': If you see a girl that makes you think "it's a weirdo!", that's probably her.
4	** Ena's first encounter with Yotsuba. After teaching Yotsuba how to play on the swings, Ena leaves the park, turns to see what Yotsuba's doing... and sees her ''really high up''.
5	--->'''Ena''': Hands!! Your hands!! Don't let go with your hands!!\
6	'''Yotsuba''': ''[[TemptingFate (holds up her hands)]]'' Hands?\
7	'''Ena''': ''(makes a terrified expression while watching Yotsuba fly off... who thankfully lands safely in the sandpit)''
8	** Fuuka's first encounter with Yotsuba... is when the latter is ''climbing up an utility pole'', pretending to be a cicada. She then exclaims, "[[CallBack It's a weirdo!]]"
9	** In the Finnish translation, Yotsuba says "Olen kaskas" ("I'm a cicada"), which isn't funny yet. The thing is, "kas kas" is a common way to say "is that so?", which is exactly what Fuka says next, making this an epicly lame {{pun}}. It's like Kiyohiko Azuma wrote the line expecting the eventual Finnish translation.
10	* In Chapter 2, Fuuka gets stuck in the Koiwais' bathroom window... not long after Koiwai did the exact same thing. She is then made fun of by Asagi, who also brings out Ena just to have a good laugh.
11	* Chapter 4:
12	** Yotsuba playing with the tape measure, more specifically when she asks a distracted Fuuka to hold it while she gets enough distance and sends the tape flying. Dad was not happy.
13	** Jumbo shows up at Koiwai's house. When Yotsuba answers the door Jumbo is so big his head is out of frame. Yotsuba takes a panel to exclaim "IT'S JUMBO!"
14	** This exchange when Yotsuba meets Mrs Ayase/Mom for the first time:
15	--->'''Yotsuba:''' ''(to Koiwai)'' She said I can come every day!\
16	'''Koiwai:''' That's great. Be sure to thank her.\
17	'''Yotsuba:''' Yeah. ''(to Mom)'' I'd like some ice-cream please!
18	** Jumbo first meeting [[LoveAtFirstSight Asagi]].
19	--->'''Asagi''': It must be hard to find clothes your size.\
20	'''Jumbo''': NOT REALLY! BECAUSE BEING NAKED IS OK FOR ME TOO!\
21	''[blank stare]''
22	** Jumbo's random "GAOO!" at Ena, followed by her running away and tripping. Koiwai's deadpan "You idiot" makes this little bit priceless.
23	** When Ena tells her family about the 'huge guy', they know EXACTLY who she's talking about.
24	--->'''Fuuka/Mom/Asagi:''' Jumbo-san./Giraffe-san./Takeda-san.\
25	'''Asagi & Fuuka:''' ''Giraffe''-san?\
26	'''Mom:''' He said his ancestors were giraffes...
27	* Chapter 5:
28	** Yotsuba is fooling around leaning over the arm of an escalator and ends up hitting her head on a sign warning telling ''not'' to do just that. Koiwai's reaction when that happens is priceless.
29	** Koiwai and Yotsuba races climbing a long staircase to visit a shrine and Koiwai obviously wins. On the way back Koiwai exclaims "Winner gets ice cream!" and dashes off. What's funny? Yotsuba ''wins'' via BanisterSlide - her determined expression while sliding butt-first past Koiwai absolutely seals it. You don't get in the way of Yotsuba and ice cream!
30	* Chapter 6:
31	** Yotsuba showing off the cicadas she and her friends caught to their mom - [[HilarityEnsues by opening the box of bugs, setting them free inside their house]]. It can be reminiscent of the many similar mistakes of any troper's childhood.
32	---> "After that we went cicada hunting in Ena's house."
33	* Chapter 7 when Koiwai randomly put the underwear on his head. That and everything else involving "Pants Man!!" (A.K.A. "Boxer Man"), including Pants Man's later nemesis, Bare-Butt Man - Yotsuba's [[CaptainObvious sense of humor is]], well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin so five-years-old]].
34	* Chapter 8:
35	** At the start of the chapter, Yotsuba grows frustrated because the sheet of paper she is drawing on isn't big enough to properly show Jumbo's size. She solves the problem by going outside and drawing her sketch on the pavement... leading Ena and Miura to think it's a ChalkOutline and wonder if there's been a murder. Becomes a BrickJoke later when a bemused Asagi comes home and sees it at the end of the chapter, only to wonder what the heck she's looking at.
36	** The first few time Miura glides on her heelies, Yotsuba only catches a glimpse of them out of the corner of her eye, leading her to stop everything and stare with a shellshocked expression on her face. When she finally catches Miura in the act, she flat-out grabs the girl's leg and lifts it off the ground so she can examine the wheels, remarking what an incredible idea it is as Miura frantically tries to avoid falling over backwards.
37	** Ena tries to play peacemaker between Yotsuba and Miura, and constantly digs a deeper hole for herself. At first she complements Yotsuba's drawing after Miura remarks how awful it is. When Yotsuba asks if that means Miura is lying, Miura takes offence and insists she's not lying, because the drawing is terrible, making Ena cringe even more. She then tries to thread the needle by insisting that the drawing is good, but Miura isn't lying... because she isn't very good at drawing, so she wouldn't be able to tell, leading Miura to look stunned and Ena to realize a split-second too late what she just said. After each comment, Ena is left looking like she wants to pull her hat down to her waist and never come out again.
38	* Chapter 9: Yotsuba, after watching a gangster movie, goes on a "revenge rampage" on her father, Jumbo and the neighbors with her water pistol. HilarityEnsues.
39	** Yotsuba first squirts down her own father in cold blood, followed by Jumbo, then suddenly switches roles and declares she will avenge them.
40	--->'''Koiwai''': Please, come back alive...\
41	'''Yotsuba''': Alright. Even if I die... I'll come back alive.
42	** Yotsuba takes out not just Ena but also her teddy bears, while saying [[HypocriticalHumor she doesn't kill children]]
43	** Yotsuba's final victim is Asagi, only she runs out of water before she can deliver the blow. When she comes back with her pistol refilled, Asagi gets the drop on her and gives her a taste of her own medicine.
44	** At the end of the chapter, Yotsuba comes back home after finishing her "RoaringRampageOfRevenge" and proudly announces the results to Jumbo:
45	--->'''Jumbo''': Hey! How did the revenge go?\
46	'''Yotsuba''': ''[smiling brightly]'' I died!
47	* Chapter 12, "Yotsuba and the Pool":
48	** Fuuka pushes Jumbo in the pool and makes fun of him for not being able to swim. Koiwai defends him, and so Fuuka also pushes him too and finds out he also can't swim. She laughs at the two of them... and then Yotsuba ''also'' pushes her in, and it's shown [[HypocriticalHumor she also can't swim.]]
49	--->'''Koiwai''': So, you can't swim either.\
50	'''Fuuka''': Yes. Sorry.
51	** Yotsuba as a swimming instructor:
52	--->'''Yotsuba''': Let's start with pike.\
53	'''Koiwai, Jumbo, Fuuka''': ........\
54	'''Yotsuba''': You have to think about the fish!\
55	'''Caption''': Yotsuba's swimming dojo - unsuccessful.
56	* Chapter 13 has Yotsuba stalking her prey, Fuuka's reaction to the frog, Koiwai's visitor, and the ReactiveContinuousScream from Miura, Ena and Yotsuba at the end.
57	* Asagi's [=CDs=] for her father in Chapter 14.
58	-->'''Asagi''': Hm... I wasn't thinking when I bought these. Dad... isn't... with us anymore, is he?\
59	''[Asagi and Mrs. Ayase look out the window as if mourning his death]''\
60	'''Fuuka''': No, no, no. Dad is ''alive''. He's working right now.\
61	'''Ena''': Asagi always likes to kill Dad off.
62	* Chapter 18:
63	** Koiwai dressing Yotsuba up as the Flower Cupid.
64	--->'''Koiwai''': Very cute! Just like Literature/TheLittleMatchGirl.\
65	'''Yotsuba:''' Ahh, the one who sets houses on fire?\
66	'''Koiwai''': No, not at all. Which one is that?
67	** Yotsuba asking the old woman at the park [[ItMakesSenseInContext if she's still alive.]] This is followed by the woman telling her that her husband came back from heaven.
68	** Also a mix of SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments, when the Flower Cupid comes home to heaven.
69	* Chapter 19:
70	** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Koiwai biting Yotsuba's head]].[[note]]Context: they are reading a book about animals, and Yotsuba asks him what each animal would do to her if she got too close (we don't see the question, but we can safely infer; the second time he does that, she's asking about leopards).[[/note]]
71	** The "It's HUGE!" moment when they arrive at the zoo.
72	** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Yotsuba punching the goat]].
73	** Koiwai "translating" for the elephant.
74	--->'''Yotsuba''': OHHHHH! You can tell what the elephant is saying!?\
75	'''Koiwai''': You bet I can! What else is a translator for? ''I am an elephant! From Africaaa!''\
76	'''Yotsuba (reading from sign)''': "In. Di. An. Ele. Phant."\
77	'''Koiwai''': [[VisibleSilence ...]] Okay, sorry. Daddy was making that up.
78	* Chapter 22 which has Koiwai and Jumbo facing off in badminton and is a classy example of how hilariously hotblooded their duels get.
79	-->'''Koiwai''': KIEEE!!\
80	'''Jumbo''': KUAAAA!!\
81	'''Koiwai''': CHOO\
82	'''Jumbo''': CHAA\
83	'''Koiwai''': HAUAAA\
84	'''Jumbo''': HOIYAA\
85	'''Yotsuba''': Hurry up and play.\
86	'''Koiwai & Jumbo''': Ok. Sorry.
87	* Chapter 23 has Jumbo going berserk when he finds out Miura (who he assumed was unable to make any summer vacation plans with her family thanks to her dad's work) is going to Hawaii.
88	-->'''Jumbo:''' And now our little princess will perform a hula dance!\
89	'''Ena:''' ''[clapping]''\
90	'''Miura:''' STOP THAT!
91	* Chapter 25:
92	** Yotsuba attempts to cure Fuuka's heartbreak, after Fuuka has seen her crush hand in hand with another girl... unfortunately Yotsuba's advice is under the influence of Asagi, and so includes such gems as ''"Asagi's never known heartbreak!"'', ''"You have fat legs!"'' and ''"Your thighs are pudgy, too!"''.
93	** When Fuuka tries to explain heartbreak to Yotsuba. She asks her who she likes, and she replies with, "[[DaddysGirl Daddy!]]" Fuuka asks her to imagine her dad not liking her anymore... Yotsuba takes it too seriously and ''really'' tears up at the thought of it, and Fuuka quickly reassures her her dad loves her.
94	* Chapter 26 has Yotsuba making her own newspaper, and her headline... is about Fuuka's heartache. Fuuka is horrified when she wakes up and discovers that not only did Yotsuba write about it, Fuuka's whole family read it.
95	* In Chapter 27, Yotsuba finds out from Asagi and reveals to Dad what tsukutsukuboshi ''really'' are.
96	* Chapter 30:
97	** Yanda's introduction, beginning an instant rivalry with Yotsuba. [[PokeThePoodle He bites her ice cream,]] she trolls his phone conversation, and then he prank calls her. Basically, their first meeting introduces the funniest rivalry ever.
98	** '''[[ItMakesSenseInContext THIS POOP IS DELICIOUS!]]'''
99	** "DAMN YOU, YANDA!" "'''NEVER COME BACK.'''"
100	** The end-of-chapter sketch shows Koiwai letting an enraged Yotsuba punch his hands, a look of complete apathy on his face.
101	* Chapter 31, "Yotsuba & the Stars":
102	** Yotsuba blinding herself with the "Yotsuba Beam!" and stumbling backwards into a trash can and blaming Yanda, who's ''not even with them.''
103	** Koiwai asking Yotsuba if she knows any stars:
104	--->'''Koiwai''': Are there any stars you know, Yotsuba?\
105	'''Yotsuba''': There is!\
106	'''Koiwai''': Oh, which one?\
107	'''Yotsuba''': Um... that bright, pretty one.''[Yotsuba points up at the sky]''\
108	'''Koiwai''': Which star is it?\
109	''[[{{Beat}} [next panel]]]''\
110	'''Yotsuba''': Earth.
111	* Chapter 41:
112	** Yanda's arrival earns some disgusted reactions from not just Yotsuba but also the grown ups:
113	--->'''Yotsuba:''' A nasty guy arrived!\
114	'''Jumbo:''' Ah true, a nasty guy arrived.\
115	'''Koiwai:''' A nasty guy arrived.\
116	'''Yanda:''' ... Give me a break.
117	** Jumbo gets hamburgers for himself and the Koiwais during their break. In an adorable, and hilarious, moment, Yotsuba maliciously eats hers at Yanda, who only had cup ramen.
118	** Yotsuba gets to help out by applying wood glue to the ends of the bookshelf frame; thinking it looks like cream, she proceeds to taste the glue.
119	--->'''Koiwai:''' ...So? What does it taste like?\
120	'''Yotsuba:''' Not sweet, not hot, not sour. ''(makes a face of disgust)'' '''''Real bad.'''''\
121	'''Koiwai:''' You march right up to the bathroom and gargle.
122	* In Chapter 46, when Yotsuba is shopping for ramen, she says, "With this much, I figure even if I ate it once a week, I could still have it every day." Another shopper has a hilarious look on her face as she tries to comprehend that sentence.
123	* Chapter 47 has the crazy faces Yanda makes when Yotsuba is trying to get a ticket from a toll booth (and poor Yotsuba's subsequent reactions).
124	* Chapter 48, the farm chapter:
125	** Yotsuba trips and falls down the hill, smashing her head on a sheep. Both Yanda and Jumbo laugh at her, but Yotsuba just does a grumpy victory sign to Yanda. And then she apologises to the sheep, it attacks her with its head, and ''then'' Yotsuba punches it in the face.
126	** When Yotusba is going to [[RunningGag punch a cow]] to prove to Yanda that she's not a coward.
127	** When the gang are being taught by the tour guide how to milk the cow:
128	--->'''Yotsuba''': I know how to count to five!\
129	'''Yanda''': I also know how to count to five.\
130	'''Jumbo''': I know how to count as well!\
131	'''Koiwai''': So do I.\
132	'''Tour guide''': H-How nice...
133	** Yanda's talking to a cow.
134	---> '''Yanda''': Your face is huge.
135	* Chapter 52 ends with Koiwai commenting how strong the typhoon's gotten nonchalantly while looking out the window... and he then sees Yotsuba fly past while holding an umbrella, with Asagi chasing after her while sporting an OhCrap face. Koiwai immediately runs out with an equally OhCrap face.
136	* Chapter 54: Yotsuba, being a typical five-year-old, can't control herself when she sees some guys wearing ''fudonshis'' and thinks they forgot to put on pants.
137	-->'''Yotsuba:''' BUTT! ''[later runs to one of the aforementioned men and slaps his behind]'' BUTT! ''[gets dragged away by Koiwai and Fuuka]''
138	* Chapter 58:
139	** Yotsuba makes a hilarious face when discovering [[{{Pun}} the bitter truth]] about coffee and accuses her dad of tricking her about it.
140	** When Yotsuba goes next door to show Duralumin, she notices Fuuka's balance ball and decides to try it... by belly-flopping onto it, which sends her flying and causes her to land on her back.
141	* Chapter 59 shows that one should never be Yotsuba's (or Duralumin's) enemy, when she claims that it will "make Yanda cry". She (and Duralumin) then turn around and glare at Yanda... and the fire from the barbecue suddenly burns up a lot more.
142	* Chapter 60:
143	** Pop quiz! What's something you go see, is large and round, and flies through the air?
144	---> '''Yotsuba''': A [[Film/{{Gamera}} turtle]]!
145	** Yotsuba giving the Ayase girls a tour in her kitchen, which includes randomly cracking open an egg into a bowl for no reason and this commentary:
146	--->'''Yotsuba:''' ''(opens a cabinet)'' This is where Daddy hides the cup ramen. But I found it!
147	* Chapter 61:
148	** Koiwai spins Yotsuba around like a helicopter. Yotsuba then asks him to do ''Asagi'' next, and just as he's about to decline Asagi actually offers him her hands. The confused and blank looks on both their faces as they awkwardly spin around holding each other's hands are priceless.
149	** Yotsuba drops her newly-acquired teddy bear from a hot air balloon. Lesson about taking better care of one's possessions? Not... quite.
150	--->'''Torako:''' ''(stunned)'' '''''IT LANDED ON ITS FEET!'''''
151	* Chapter 65: Jumbo is ''very'' displeased when he finds out about the hot air balloon trip the Koiwais did with Asagi (and others).
152	--> '''Koiwai''': If I tell Jumbo that I went out with Asagi, he's gonna be pissed.\
153	'''Jumbo''': ''[walks in]'' Yo.\
154	'''Koiwai''': I went out with Asagi.\
155	'''Jumbo''': ''WHAT!?''\
156	''[later when Jumbo sees a photo of Asagi and Koiwai twirling around, joined at the hands]''\
157	'''Jumbo''': ''YOUR HANDS!!!''\
158	'''Jumbo''': ''[grabs Koiwai's hands] LIKE THIS!?''\
159	'''Jumbo''': ''[starts twirling around with Koiwai] LIKE THIIIS!?''
160	* Chapter 67:
161	** Yotsuba finds an electric razor and immediately tests it out on Jumbo's beard. Jumbo is horrified.
162	** Fuuka looks for Yotsuba and she finds her... headbanging to whatever music she's listening to from her headphones. She gets weirded out and everyone watching is amused.
163	* A good chunk of Chapter 69 is hilarious thanks to the older girls' attempts to explain Danbo's "death", with special mention going to Miura's little attempt at wisdom:
164	-->'''Miura:''' Robot or not, all living things must die. ''[{{Beat}}]'' Even though he's not a living thing... since he's a robot...
165	* Volume 11 adds a bonus section prior to Chapter 72:
166	** Yotsuba humorous recount to Jumbo about the pizza she and her dad ate:
167	--->'''Yotsuba''': But Daddy ate so much that he turned into Full Belly Man.\
168	'''Jumbo''': What does he do when he's Full Belly Man?\
169	'''Yotsuba''': He doesn't move.
170	** Yotsuba, Dad and Jumbo hide when Yanda comes round. Badly. Then the confused Yanda hides himself ''too'' (and equally as bad). And after Koiwai comments he doesn't need to hide and Yotsuba reveals herself:
171	--->'''Yanda:''' ''(puts the table back)'' What's with you guys...\
172	'''Jumbo:''' ''(still curled up in a ball with a box on his head)'' Hurry up and find me...\
173	'''Yanda:''' You're in plain sight!
174	* Chapter 72 has not only Yotsuba but also ''Jumbo and Koiwai'' going absolutely crazy over the cool bubble toys Yanda's brought.
175	* Chapter 76, even though it's quite melancholy as Yotsuba is lamenting over Juralumin no longer speaking.
176	** Fuuka decides she'll pretend to be Juralumin by proxy as a way to cheer her up. Yotsuba's "what the heck is your deal?" look is priceless.
177	** Yanda's attempts to at least get Yotsuba back to normal: he aims a paper airplane at her, pinches and pokes her cheeks, and nearly succeeds in making her laugh (to her annoyance) by stuffing tissues up his nostrils. He then tickles her and snaps her out of it, and their usual fight ensues.
178	** Koiwai trying to explain to Yotsuba what a courtesy call is.
179	--->'''Koiwai:''' Remember last year when we went to visit Grandpa when he was in the hospital? It's like that.\
180	'''Yotsuba:''' Oh. You mean when everyone was wearing black, and all the people were saying "Our prayers are with you"? I got in lots of trouble.\
181	'''Koiwai:''' That was the old man next door's funeral.
182	** Yotsuba attempting a courtesy call for Juralumin and Asagi. She... ''sort of'' gets it.
183	--->'''Yotsuba:''' Asagi! Here! ''(holds up her "gifts")'' Ramen and burrs. Our prayers are with you in this difficult time.\
184	'''Asagi:''' ''(confused)'' What is this?
185	* Chapter 78: Both Koiwai and Yotsuba's OhCrap faces when the former catches the latter covered in blue paint while standing next to the table ''she tried to paint herself'' without him knowing, which naturally left a big mess. Koiwai can't help but mess with her when confronting her about it:
186	-->'''Yotsuba:''' Is this going to get me in trouble? Am I in trouble?\
187	'''Yotsuba:''' Daddy... the paint won't come off...\
188	'''Koiwai:''' ... That's what happens when you use paint without asking.\
189	'''Yotsuba:''' What do you do to get it off? It comes off, right?\
190	'''Koiwai:''' No it doesn't. [[{{Troll}} You're going to be blue from now on.]]\
191	'''Yotsuba:''' ''[BlueWithShock, literally]''
192	* In Chapter 80, the HalloweenEpisode:
193	** Yotsuba is put into a pumpkin costume, and Shimauu and Fuuka take photos on their cameras non-stop. Yotsuba comments how hard it is to move and then she falls. Shimauu and Fuuka just continue to take photos of her.
194	** Yotsuba sneaks up on Mrs Ayase, who's calmly reading a magazine, and scares her by suddenly shouting in her costume, "Trick a boom!"
195	** Fuuka wonders if Halloween being a Christian holiday [[InsaneTrollLogic means it was invented by Jesus.]] When she's told it's not, she guess it was probably someone else, like '''Gandhi.'''
196	** When trick-or-treating at Miura's place, Miura's mum subverts Yotsuba's expectations and asks for a trick. Yotsuba... [[PokeThePoodle flips their shoes upside down.]]
197	--->'''Yotsuba:''' I'll flip them all over! ''({{Beat\|Panel}})'' I'd rather have candy.
198	* Chapter 81:
199	** Yotsuba and Ena pretending to be fancy ladies while on their way to the camp site, leading to some hilarious exchanges:
200	--->'''Ena''': Lady Yotsuba, dost thine eyes see what lies thither?\
201	'''Yotsuba''': Heavens, what could it be? My stars, it's a river! It looks ever so refreshing!\
202	''[later]''\
203	'''Yotsuba''': Is this where hillbillies live?\
204	'''Miura''': Heavens, that won't do at all. A lady of your stature saying such things.\
205	'''Yotsuba''': Goodness! You must forgive me.
206	** Yotsuba, Ena and Miura playing in the hammock. Then when Mr. Koiwai wants them to help with dinner, Yotsuba asks him to push them again and, without saying a word, he unceremoniously flips the entire hammock over.
207	** Miura standing behind everyone else and ringing her bear bell... at a cat.
208	* In Chapter 86, Yotsuba attempts to ''headbutt'' her grandma when they reunite. And her grandma actually manages to stop her.
209	* In Chapter 87, Fuuka finds what she thinks is a cat outside her house and meows at it... only for the wind to blow it and it turns out to be a bag. An embarrassed Fuuka tries to walk away casually, only to see that Yotsuba and her grandma had watched the whole thing.
210	* In Chapter 89, when faced with doing the dishes, Koiwai lies down on the floor and shouts "AHHHH! Doing the dishes is such a paaaain!!" Yotsuba has to do the dishes herself, telling Koiwai "You're not setting a very good example for me, Daddy.", to which he says "...Sorry."
211	* In Chapter 94 ("Yotsuba & The Day Before"), Yotsuba spots Yanda at the supermarket. While he's busy going through instant ramen to buy for himself, Yotsuba secretly starts putting multiple boxes of biscuits into his basket. When Yanda finally notices her, Yotsuba... puts more boxes in the basket. Annoyed, Yanda then yells, "Stop throwing them in after I already saw you!"
212	* In Chapter 96, Yotsuba sees a few girls dressed as aliens and thinks they're the real thing. One of the girls rolls with it and proceeds to chase her and claim that she's planning to destroy the planet. Koiwai's sister and Yotsuba's aunt, Koharuko, goes along with the act and convinces Yotsuba to save the world by just nicely asking the alien-girl to stop.
213	* In Chapter 108, Fuuka suggest that before they go off and buy Yotsuba a backpack, they call her grandmother, saying that grandparents are always eager to buy them things for school supplies. Koiwai seems amused by this and tries it, sure enough, it works.
