Funny / Nisekoi

Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

Being a rom-com series about having to fake a relationship, it should come as no surprise that Nisekoi has funny moments by the boatload.

---

• Tsugumi challenges Raku to a duel. The whole school finds out about it, starts placing their bets, and every last one of them bets on Tsugumi.
• When Raku and Kosaki were alone together on the beach at night, Kosaki accidentally lets loose and asks Raku if he wants a kiss. After a Beat, Kosaki internally panics and starts screaming "What the heck did I just say?!?!?!" after realizing what she'd just said, and wonders if Raku would find her weird after hearing that. Turns out Raku was so tuckered out that time, that he actually fell asleep while Kosaki was still speaking and didn't hear a thing. Kosaki's face afterwards was priceless.
  • When Chitoge overheard the above, she misheard Kosaki saying "kimchi" instead of "kiss", and started believing that Kosaki really liked kimchi. After Chitoge got some helpful advice from her the day after the above, she thanks Kosaki by telling her that she'll give her some kimchi if she ever got some. Kosaki had absolutely no idea what she was talking about.
• Let's just say that Class 1-C's Romeo and Juliet play... deviates from the script.
• Paula telling Tsugumi to draw her guns only for Tsugumi to put food in front of her.
• Chapter 58 of the manga: Ruri loses her glasses and her friends Raku & Onodera try to help her find them. When they come to rather unseen bushes behind a building, Ruri tells Onodera to do obscene things to Raku, except she was was actually telling this to Raku.
• The look Hana made when she explains why she didn't come to see Chitoge often. The top-class manager somehow became a total Cloud Cuckoo Lander when it comes to raising a child.
  • Raku arriving suddenly at the Christmas party, grabbing Chitoge and declaring loudly that he's taking her to a royal suite in high class hotel before sweeping her with him. Everyone's reaction must be seen to be believed.
    • Especially as it is a love hotel, which is essentially an establishment made for one-night stands.
• During the Whiskey Bon Bon incident, five girls get drunk off of Whiskey Bon Bons. Four of them try to seduce Raku...while the fifth starts ranting about economics.
  • Any time the girls have taken alcohol is bound to be funny moment.
• The gang engaging in a card game in the anime. Particularly for how it shows Kosaki and Chitoge have absolutely No Poker Face whatsoever.
  • Raku notices this and asks Chitoge to at least try to make one. And she does. Sort of.◊
• Shuu scaling an entire mountain in order to peep on the girls' hot spring area...only to find all the girls gone by the time he gets up. And then he falls all the way back down.
• In the "Good Morning" episode, when Kosaki learns she supposedly failed the entrance exam to get into the same high school as Raku, she gets so depressed that her art style changes completely when she goes to sulk in her room...and Haru actually takes notice, crying that her sister "has turned into graffiti."
  • Later on, Raku accidentally comes across Kosaki alone in the snow and plans to confess to her, seeing as how they may never see each other again. Their conversation is cut short after Kosaki receives a phone call telling her she actually did make it in from the waiting list. Cue Raku backflipping out of there from sheer joy.
• The Marathon event, which basically turns into a war between the Class 1-C boys (led by Shuu) and Raku and his harem (plus Ruri). There's plenty of hilarious gambits and counter-gambits involved.
  • At some point in the middle of the race, Shuu explains to his friends that Raku must be running out of energy, seeing as he has the strength and endurance of an average person. This was the truth until Raku stopped at a water station where Onodera worked at, which motivated him to run a million more miles.
• Ruri's "I-don't-really-care-but-I'm-still-kind-of-pissed-off-punch" on Shuu when he fails to mention the fact that she's in a shrine maiden outfit, after he had commented on the other girls' outfits.
• Paula mocking the other girls' gunplay with water pistols at the pool.
• The amnesiac Raku gawking over Claude and Tsugumi's guns, not realizing that they're real.
  • Marika: "Maybe if I ransack Kosaki's room, I'll find more clues."
• Raku and the girls go to hang their wishes on the bamboo, but they find that the bamboo is already covered in wishes- all of them from Marika and all of them about her getting together with Raku.
• 104: Marika asks Raku to take care of her parrot, whom she named Raku-sama, with honorifics, while she goes on a trip with her dad. It's actually a plan which culminates with Raku having to shout a confession addressed to Marika to the escaped parrot just to have him return. Marika had actually trained Raku-sama to return only when the confession is heard just so she could secretly record Raku's voice as he shouts it across town. Along the way the parrot promptly flies around town saying provocative (and fake) lines between Marika and Raku (like I said, fake), and in front of the other heroines no less. Fortunately, Marika soon arrives just in time to save Raku from the misunderstanding.
  • Later, in Chapter 142 Marika is trying to overcome her fear of animals. An owl starts attacking her and Marika summons Raku-sama with a whistle, only to have the two of them cower in fear together.
• Kosaki actually can cook pretty well when she is depressed.
• Any time Tsugumi appears alongside some Beehive contraption, Hilarity Ensues.
• Raku's male classmates' reaction to the times when a new female transfer student is somehow related to Raku. It got to the point when they are accusing him of being a protagonist in a manga.
• Every time Yui crawls into Raku's bed.
• One chapter has Tsugumi accidentally eat one of the drugs produced by Beehive that reduces the strength of the one that eats it. Tsugumi starts thinking she can't be of any use to Chitoge if she doesn't have her strength and Raku, in a rare break of the norm for situations like this, instantly calls Chitoge to tell her what Tsugumi said, word by word. Angry stomping is heard in the distance...and Chitoge shows up by kicking through the wall behind Tsugumi.
• Marika shows up at the beauty pageant in a bikini, and she gets a red card for showing too much skin.
• Chapter 109 opens with Mari saying something amazing happened, following by laughing at Chitoge victoriously. Cue the next page which shows the results of the latest popularity poll....with Marika placing 2nd ahead of Chitoge.
• Yui Kanakura, who up until now has been portrayed as a flawless, unbeatable rival of the girls, is finally revealed to have an atrocious singing voice. Her singing is so bad that some members of Raku's class collapsed (including Kosaki) when she sang before them. Raku himself has been traumatized by her singing, as he can't remember what happened after the first time she sang for him during his birthday when they were little. Tsugumi, on the other hand, is such a great singer that she can apparently make people see peaceful and calm visions.
• How Yui took control of her triad: she cried until all the various subordinates stopped fighting among themselves. Doubles as a Moment of Awesome.
• Kosaki's mother and aunt are better pranksters than Claude.
• At the start of Kosaki's route in Nisekoi Yomeiri, in a ploy to get Raku together alone with Kosaki, Shuu tells both of them a horror story about a mannequin coming to life in the science room. While Raku dismisses his story as cliched, Kosaki goes into denial over how she doesn't believe that story either...while clearly quivering and about to cry. It works and they end up going to the science room together...and lo and behold, the mannequin story was real and they both promptly freak out. The event CG is hilarious.
  (The anatomical mannequin appears)
  Raku and Kosaki: Uwaaaaaaaahhhhh!?!?
  Raku: A m-ma-mannequin!? It's really moving!?
  Kosaki: *Faints*
  Raku:: O-onodera? Get a hold of yourself! Onodera!!
• Seishirou revealing her true gender to Claude. The latter's first reaction? "When did you undergo such an operation?"
• The epilogue chapter introduces Kosaki's daughter Sasa and Raku's son Haku. Just as the pair were warming up to each other, Raku's old retainers run after their new master and chases him away. Looks like some things never change in the Ichijou household.
• The live-action film has one standout funny moment: Raku and Chitoge are in the cinema watching a romantic drama. Raku wanted a cute cat film, while Chitoge wanted an Ahnold film, so they compromised. Chitoge is fast asleep.
  • They are accompanied by their Yakuza and Beehive gang members, and some of them advise Raku to kiss her. She wakes up and punches him so hard, the couple in the film break off their drama and stare at the couple.
