Funny / Bullet Club

Go To

  • Whenever you see Omega literally sweeping the ramp with his trusty broom in an entrance for the first time.
  • Pretty much every skit on The Elite's YouTube channel.
  • Gallows' Organization for Nether-Area Diseases, AKA Gallows and Anderson pretending to be doctors. From the very clear stealth reference by WWE to the NJPW Doc Gallows name which instantly caught attention on Twitter, to the way they constantly poke fun at how they injured Big E's "Langston" via references to cracking, nuts, balls, bags, and pretty much every other euphemism for injury or testicles you could think of whilst carrying fake balls in a jar with water and Kool-Aid. And all of it with calm doctorly voices and ever-serious expressions on their faces. The concept on its face is so unbelievably stupid and poor man's D-X, yet their straight delivery and natural charisma makes it work.
  • After destroying The Dudley Boys on their goodbye night, the "lab" became a "retirement home" called the Octogenarian Leisure Destination For Aging Rehabilitation Treatment, complete with naughty nurse Dana Brooke. This was mostly funny for different reasons.
  • Given the awesome contextnote , this Twitter exchange between The Elite ranks as both funny and heartwarming:
    @KennyOmegamanX: Check DM @MattJackson13 and @NickJacksonYB . We've gotta talk about a possible error in judgment from awhile back.... 😰💦
    @MattJackson13: @KennyOmegamanX @NickJacksonYB I know Ken, but at least at that time it made a great GIF.
  • During the debut of Adam Cole in the Bullet Club, the Young Bucks throw the largest superkick party EVER. Mr. Wrestling 3, one of the ROH commentators, got a special counter that supposedly cost $6,000 just for the occasion. And listening to him call the rising number of superkicks (42 in total) with all the joy if a child on Christmas is adorable and hilarious, especially when the Bucks superkick his broadcast partner Kevin Kelly. Then the Bucks superkick him. And the counter counts that one too.
    • Even more hilariously, after they drop the commentators, the Bucks briefly take over and start delivering hammy impersonations of Jim Ross.
      Matt Jackson: Look at the package on Adam Cole! His girlfriend has a family! For the love of God! For the love of God!'''
  • Finn Balor's reaction to Captain New Japan joining Bullet Club is best described as the social media equivalent of Angrish.
  • This entrance of the Elite, as two Ghostbusters and one ghost. It is AMAZING.
  • Wrestle Kingdom 11: The Guerillas of Destiny defend their IWGP Tag Team titles against Great Bash Heel (Tomoaki Honma and Togi Makabe) and Chaos (Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano). During the match, Tanga Roa (and Makabe) become a bit too liberal with their use of the Cluster F-Bomb.
  • At NJPW's 45th Anniversary Show, poor David Finlay was on the receiving end of a Bullet Club Body Slam Party, wherein Kenny Omega slammed Yujiro Takahashi, Tama Tonga and Tanga Roa onto him in quick succession. Things backfired for Kenny however when he tried to lift Bad Luck Fale.
    • Even Fale knows it's a bad idea, because he initially tries to shake his head and wave Kenny off. But the enthusiasm and peer pressure gets to be too much, and he goes with it.
  • At WCPW's England qualifier of the Pro Wrestling World Cup, the Bullet Club (Adam Cole and the Young Bucks) are facing WCPW's top heel stable The Prestige, but thanks to a scheduling snafu, Cody Rhodes couldn't make it, so GM Adam Blampied makes Gabriel Kidd the replacement member of the Bullet Club, which he is extremely thrilled about. Cole and the Bucks, not so much. But their interactions are adorable and hilarious.
  • Omega and the Young Bucks host a dance party! Of course, the Elite being who they are, it eventually devolves into another kind of party...
  • Shenanigans were rife during the 2nd night of the G1 US Special, when Bullet Club tag-teamed against Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay and the Briscoe Brothers. You had the crowd chanting for Fale and Yujiro, a flurry of trollish fast tags resulting in a "TAG FOREVER!" chant, Marty knee-crawling to Cody and clinging to him like a small child hugging his mother, Fale denying the crowd a hip thrust and sitting on Ospreay...
  • After Tama called Kenny out for caring more about the Elite brand than Bullet Club, Kenny started wearing the under-club's merch to the ring for all his G1 undercard matches, and against Toru Yano where he wore Yujiro's Pimp Club shirt, and what appeared to be one of the Young Bucks' pants, to rub in how much he didn't give a shit.
  • Also during G1 27, Tama Tonga is taking Guerilla Tactics a little more seriously by sneaking up behind opponents during their entrances, but the way he's doing it moves it from awesome to hilarious. Against Suzuki, he took out El Desperado at the top of the ramp and stole the Suzuki-gun flag, then cheerfully walked down behind Suzuki, managing to get to ringside before Suzuki even noticed, at which point he threw the flag into Suzuki's face and attacked. Against Yano, he can just about be seen on the wide shot diving out of the ring after his own entrance, hopping over the barrier, and then jumping it again half way down the ramp and shoulder tapping Yano 3 times, before Yano turns all the way around and has a hilarious "OH SHIT" reaction, resulting in an almost Scooby-Doo like chase.
  • WWE hitting the Young Bucks with a Frivolous Lawsuit over Too Sweet merchnote  is not funny. What is funny is that the Bucks immediately made a "Cease and Desist" T-shirt with the hand sign pixelated, and it started selling like Shawn Michaels in that SummerSlam match with Hogan.
  • Bad Luck Fale's failed attempts at beating down the ring announcer during his name. He can only glare at the announcer who finishes the call after scrambling out of the ring. The times that Fale does get to him... well, it can be funny in an Evil Is Petty way. By the G1 Climax in 2018 all Fale has to is stamp his foot without moving otherwise and the announcer will scramble out of the ring. While this is Fale's Insane Troll Logic response to being mistakenly announced as Tama Tonga one time, it's also a "nice" Call-Back to Devitt and company's routine torment and humiliation of press reporters and interviewers to force them to say what they wanted them to say.
