Funny / Yatterman

The entire series, movie included, is a giant CMOF, but some moments stand above everything else:

1977 original series

• Episode 3: Doronjo tricks her henchmen into listening closely to something she has to say, only to deliver a super loud scream to prank them...while having the perfect trollface, decades before it was invented!
• Episode 20: During Yatterman 1 and 2's Transformation Sequence, when it seems like it's going to go as flawlessly as ever, Gan's suit fell at his side rather than on him as usual. It might not be much, but it's fun to see the heroes making blunders every once in a while.
• Episode 24 has a titanic one during the final battle: before Yatterwan releases his mini-mechas and they attack the Doronbo Gang's giant robot as they normally do, Doronjo calls time out to announce the battle this time will be different in order to satisfy a request from a fan letter. What ensues is an army of evil robot cockroaches vs Yatterwan's robot ants competing against each other in Sumo, Boxing, Baseball and Rugby! Complete with Boyakky as a sports commentator and both Ai-chan and Tonzura as cheerleaders for their respective teams!
• Episode 92: The episode is a parody of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and when Titania wakes up after being affected by Puck's love powder, she falls in love with Tonzura. When Doronjo asks Puck to fix the problem, his idea is to sprinkle the magic powder on all of them. As a result, Tonzura falls in love with Doronjo, Doronjo falls in love with Boyacky and Boyacky... falls in love with the audience.
• Episode 96: Yatter-Yokozuna released his surprise mecha and they engaged a Napoleonic battle with the Doronbo's own surprise mecha, with both armies annihilating each other... Then the last surviving Yatterman surprise mecha takes the Mecanomoto and release a swarm of surprise mecha on biplanes, while the last surviving Doronbo's surprise mecha counters with its own surprise mechas on biplanes. The mass dogfight ends in mutual annihilation again... So the last Yatter pilot takes the Mecanomoto and releases an army of surprise mecha on tanks, with the last Doronbo pilot replying in kind. After another mutual annihilation, they go for the Shout-Out and release X-Wings and TIE Fighters, then Boyacky explains that his kamikaze mechas are going to explode... Except he forgot to send them out. And for once the Yattermen weren't happy just for the victory, but because they too were growing tired.
• Episode 101: the Imagine Spot of the Yattermen, Doronbo Gang and their mechas after growing old. Has to be seen to be believed.
• Episode 104: the surprise mecha of both the Yattermen and their Doronbo counterparts did something wacky even for this series: first they started trying to talk, but the leader of the Doronbo bots pissed off the leader of the Yatters who tried to kill him and was forced to perform Seppuku, and from that it went on a retelling of The Tale of the 47 Ronin. Including the waiting one year before striking bit. With the battle actually taking less than a day, as usual. It is just as ridiculous at it sounds.
• In the Grand Finale, Doronjo's casual attitude when their mecha is attacked by surprise mecha from every single Yatter mecha, including Yatterking. And Boyacky's protests when he realizes that, this being the final episode, Doronjo lied when she told him next time he'd be the leader.
  • The location of the last piece of the Dokurostone: Dokurobey's home, under his bed. Nobody, not even Dokurobey had seen it coming.

2008 anime series

• The series ends with a fake next episode segment that goes completely nuts:
  • As the series ends with Dokurobei coming back to Earth to reveal the Dorombos that actually there are 40 more Dokuro Rings to be found, the preview begins with them already having 39 of them, somehow.
  • The introduction of new Yattermen. While Yatterman-11 is basically an Evil Counterpart of Gan, the others are random characters from other Tatsunoko series, such as Yatterman-5 being Ken the Eagle, Yatterman-8 being Yoko from Gowapper 5 Godam and Yatterman-10 being the titular mech of Gordian the Warrior.
  • Suddenly, the preview becomes for a Beach Episode where the Dorombo Gang has to find the 5 Dokuro Panties.

Live Action Film

• Yatterking's Negated Moment of Awesome: Gan-chan has just revealed he had repaired and improved the wrecked Yatterwan, transforming it in the gigantic Yatterking, who starts moving toward our heroes... And bangs his head on the hangar's door. Three times. Gan-chan's deadpan admission he made Yatterking too big sells it.
  • As if it wasn't enough, the Yattermen followed with their 'yatta-dance'... And their guest Shoko wondering if they were crazy.
• Shoko explains that her father had disappeared while searching for the Skull stone over which the Yattermen and the Dorombo Gang fight... And Gan-chan promptly asks what the Skull Stone is! Even Yatterwan doubles back in shock...
• The Dorombo Gang reacts surprised and quite creeped out when they hear the voices of their voice actors in the original series^note as well as the 2008 TV series from some people they're scamming.
• The Surprisingly Realistic Outcome about how the Yattermen travel on Yatterwan and with Yatterking's high-speed travel, with the former having several near accidents, and the latter having them suffering from terrible vertigo.
• During the final battle, after Boyakki makes the Dorombo tuna robots evolve into a bigger form, the narrator pops up to explain the strictly japanese-pun this transformation is based on. In the Italian dub, he starts explaining... only to give up half-way through, asking himself why he brought up the argument to begin with.
• While the Italian dub features an edgier and more risque language compared to the series, there's still some hilarity when Omocchama, of all people, pulls out a Precision F-Strike at the end of the film.
