Funny / Super Robot Wars: Original Generation

Go To

Original Generation

  • Ingram Prisken and his reaction to the god-awful health drink made by Kusuha Mizuha: after drinking it nonchalantly and appearing fine, once Kusuha leaves, Ingram is in complete physical agony. The scene is replayed in Divine Wars where the normally composed Ingram is effectively brought to his knees.
  • Anytime Ryusei can see what's coming up based on his Robot Otakuness.
    Ryusei: By the way, Rai, did we get the data for Eaty Organisation's new mech yet ?
    Rai: If you mean the EOTI Organization, then no. We don't have the data. We do know its name, though.
    Ryusei: What's it called ?
    Rai: I believe it was called ... the Granzon.
    Ryusei: Wow... This name got badguy written all over it.
    Rai: You're not making any sense.
    Rai: Hm? Looks like the Granzon is coming out.
    Ryusei: Holy Crap... The name was already menacing enough, but just look at that thing.

Original Generation 2

Then The Hiryu Custom arrives on site and Masaki launches immediately.
Masaki: Shu ! You're not getting away !
Shu: My, Am I hearing double now ?
  • In Scenario 37, Sanger has just received the "Colossal Blade" for his Ace Custom "Dygenguard" when he and Ratsel are liberating the "Tesla-Leicht Institute". In the Atlus localization of the original game for the Game Boy Advance (Scenario 30), the translators brilliantly use Vigagi to the max with the fourth wall:
    Sanger: "This mech will inherit my soul! Behold the power of..."
    DYGENGUARD, Episode 30
    Vigagi: "What was that!?...And what does 'Episode 30' mean!?"
  • After the "Steel Dragon Battle Group" is introduced to the "Dygenguard", a bunch of them discuss on its naming scheme (from the localization):
    Ryusei: "Dygenguard"... Yeah, it's perfect. Super Robots need names like that. Hey, Rai. Don't you think the SRX could..."
    Raidiese F. Branstein: "... We are not calling it the Dyryusei... No way."
    Ryusei: "What!? It's a better name than Dyrai or Dyaya!"
    Aya Kobayashi: "Dyaya... That's good. It sounds like a princess."
    Mai Kobayashi: "A-Aya?"
    Aya: "Uh, just kidding. It sounds more like a stomach disorder"
    Mai: (You were serious about that, weren't you...?)
    Lune Zoldark: "Hey now! That's more like a Super Robot name."
    Ryusei: "Right?"
    Rai: "Give me a break."
    Ratsel: "Hmm... Then I'll say Aussenseiter's Bufelt Mode should by Dytrombe."
  • Kusuha's health drink strikes again in the Sequel: whereas Arado Balanga downs it entirely and says it's delicious (possibly due to no taste buds because he's a Big Eater), the fact it can render someone like Lamia Loveless unconscious, despite being a Robot Girl, is pretty damn funny (from The Inspectors).
    • Bonus points in The Inspectors for Ryusei, Excellen Browning, Masaki Andoh politely refusing, yet clearly in fear of it. Even the poker-faced Kyosuke has a sour look on his face when Kusuha brings in her drink tray.
    • For even more hilarity in The Inspectors, despite Kusuha showing obvious concern over Lamia's state of being, in said gynoid's point of view, the former's eyes are glowing red.
  • Kyosuke tends to Ignore the Fanservice with regards to Excellen, but how does she really feel about it when she's in the "Huckebein MK III" with the "Boxer" configuration using the "Geist Knuckle" attack? Well...
  • Scenario 36 in OGs. Masaki and Ibis are working to clear a path for the Hiryu Custom when Sleygh comes to the rescue. After Sleygh agree for a truce with Ibis so they can save Filio faster, we get this.
    Masaki: Okay, we're on the same page. You'd better do your part, Comet.
    Sleygh: ...Comet ?
    Shiro: Why comet ?
    Masaki: It's a decent rival for a shooting star. Besides, her mech's red anyway.
    Shiro: Wouldn't that make her a Red Co...
    Kuro: Shh... We'll get sued. And that's more of a crimson than a proper red. Maybe you should call her the Crimson Hero.
    Masaki: Something tells me calling her Heero wouldn't be much better.
    Kuro: Whoops, good point.
  • The ending when they just returned to the main universe from the Einst dimension. Katina felt really glad and Tasuku asked if she really said something about feeling The Power of Love. Katina cheerfully replied with citing the lyrics from one of JAM Project's theme songs from the franchise, SKILL... except she backpedalled with "... is WHAT I TOTALLY DIDN'T SAY!!" and pointed out that Tasuku and Leona were the ones doing that and they just forgot to turn the microphone off so their confession to stick together got overheard.

Original Generation Gaiden

  • At one point in the ending party, Garnet introduces her twin babies. And what does Irm has for present? His old present dear daddy Jonathan gave him when he's a kid himself: The rocket powered tricycle! Something tells us that Irm looks like he doesn't want to be the only one to have a Hilariously Abusive Childhood...

Second Original Generation

Dark Prison

The Moon Dwellers

  • Before the game was released, Bandai Namco Entertainment released some quick translations to the trailers. However, the translated dialogue unintentionally renders "Granteed" pilot Touya Shiun saying "Kudakenote , Granteed!!!" into "Die, Granteed!!!" (thankfully fixed to exactly what the notes said when the game was released).
  • The Gespenst Kick animation using the new "Gespenst Haken" from Haken Browning: after using the "Grand Plasma Cutter", Aschen Brodel ejects from the mech, strips away the green parts of her body via "Code: DTD" and starts pounding the enemy on foot, ending it with a round from her shotgun-mounted heels. Remember, Aschen's an Android, meaning she's destroying Humongous Mecha at least five times her size.
  • Like the Gespenst MK II Type-S, almost anyone on the roster can pilot the Gespenst Haken in The Moon Dwellers. As its designated co-pilot, given her foul mouth, Aschen has plenty to say depending on who's the pilot.
    Aschen: "This attack was just strong enough to lift a skirt."
    • With Lamia:
    Lamia: "It's our turn, Aschen-neesama."
    Aschen: "Watch closely. I'll have you do this later."
    Lamia: "I respectfully refuse."
    *Later*
    Lamia: "That was splendid, neesama."
    Aschen: "Good. Let's get some training on this when we're back."
    Latooni: "VORTECH SHOT!"
    Aschen: "Nice shout!"
    Latooni: "That was actually pretty tiring."
    Axel: "Aschen, let's play our trump card."
    Aschen: "Don't try to act cool, Ex-seaweed hair Dumbass."
    *Later, we get this gem.*
    *And finally, we have Axel of all people, complaining about having to shout.*
  • Haken's The Nicknamer habit from Endless Frontier carries over into Original Generation: expect epitaphs of "Gambling Wolf" for Kyosuke, "Mr.Samurai" for Sanger, "Dark Horse" for Ratsel, "High Leg Celeb" for Aqua Centrum" "Mysterious Scientist" for Shu Shirakawa and "Sister 17" for Lamia, for example.
  • When the Steel Dragon Battle Group fight what they think are the "Guests", Excellen Lampshades on how they're getting tired about the fact they show up every time.
  • Chika notices Gu-Landon's name is similar to the Granzon. Then she lampshades it everytime the Granzon fights him.
    Chika: There's nothing worse than a name like Gu-Landon. It gets so easily confused with Granzon!
    Chika: It we defeat it, maybe it will turn into Neo Gu-Landon?
    Shu: Chika, be silent.
    Chika ( As the Granzon gets hit ): Hey, don't get cocky, Granzon!
    Shu: You did this mistake on purpose, did you?
  • The various character's reaction to Debudedabide's face.
    Rai: There's a limit to bad taste.
    Axel: Don't talk, your face is already joke enough.
    Sean: This is something a museum would want.
  • Kouta tries to make Crystal Dragoon talk about what he plans to do with the Lamalices:
    Kouta: After going so far as showing us something like that, you'd better have an answer for that !
    Crystal Dragoon: As I said, You will know the answer in exchange for your life.
  • After conversing with Calvina who was surprisingly calmer, but still having desires to take vengeance, Josh offered her hot chocolate, which she accepts. Discussing with Irm, Josh hoped that it would calm her down. But in the deployment phase, the sight of Jua-Mu on Raftclans caused Calvina to go even angrier than usual.
    Irm: So...the hot chocolate didn't work?
    Josh: I'm sorry.
  • Excellent's multiple shout outs to other mecha anime & games:
    Excellen: ( Using Jet Phantom ) GOD BAND SMASH !! SEIBAI !
  • Save Quit Dialogues :
    • Gilliam's self advertisings, again:
    Gilliam: Hmm? I've been called here again.
    Gilliam: "Please say something"? I'm running out of jokes, but it seems I have no choice! Let's see....
    Gilliam: Please support "Battle DodgeBall 2" too!
    Gilliam: For your information, Roar & I will be in the same team as the championship's final last boss.
    Gilliam: Just so you know, it has nothing to do with the main game.
    • This actually harkens back to the first time the Save-Quit dialogue was conceived in Original Generations
    Gilliam: Huh...are you still there?
    Gilliam: You want me to say something? Okay, let's see...
    Gilliam: Please support "Hero Senki"!
    Gilliam: ...Wait, am I even supposed to say that?
    • Haken & Kyosuke's gambling addiction:
    Haken: Hey, Gambling Wolf. Let's play card again tonight. What do you say?
    Kyosuke: Sure.
    Haken: OK, but I'm going to win today.
    Kyosuke: That is exactly my line for you.
    Excellen: Hello? Sorry to interrupt the lovely mood and all, but...what are you even gonna get on, Kyosuke?
    Aschen: Well...the Captain too got cheated by the Bandana Kid last night and lost a lot of money.
    Haken: Sigh...Poverty is like my enemy.
    Kyosuke: I lost my motivation.
    Aschen: OK, you penniless gamblers! Go to sleep now!
    • Aschen's DTD Show.
    Aschen: Hi everyone! Thank you for waiting! The Code DTD Show is starting now!
    Lamia: Elder Sis Aschen! What are you doing?
    Aschen: Hey...my little sis. It's at times like this that you need to give some good service. Otherwise, your spotlight will be will be replaced by others.
    Lamia: But...
    Aschen: Whatever your excuses are, I don't care. Anyway, start by removing your clothes! Next release the steam!
    Lamia: No, if I act like this too, my character will overlap yours and...
    Haken: That's fine, Sister 17. This happens all the time in the Endless Frontier.
  • The various option weapons can be a source of both unintentional and intentional comedy, depending on what unit is using them: since the R-3 Powered essentially has no legs and is permanently floating off the ground, having it use the Shishioh Blade is invariably going to look awkward since the weapon's animation involves copious amounts of Blade Spam followed by a Diagonal Cut, and having Kyosuke use the MTDM Shooter has him comment on the concept of using Tesla Drives, which is what his mech needs to use to even stand up due to its top-heavy nature and which are normally used to grant mechs the ability to fly, becoming disposeable enough that they can be used as a way to propel missiles. There's also the fact that the Free Electron Cannon, which is a Kill Sat, is placed next to the mech in the same way as all other weapons are when you're equiping it, making it look like a large handheld weapon, even though realistically they should be equiped with either have some kind of targetting system or holding a remote to operate it.
