Having your face do that WOULD be pretty, er, painful...
If you're thinking about making a "Narm-uto" joke, you're too late, though it's a given that Naruto, a series about ninjas who don't act ninja-like, will have its share of "cool" and "cheese".
- Another filler features Naruto and Kiba escorting a man carrying a valuable piece of art that bandits are after. One of the bandits going after it at the end of the episode is knocked down. For some reason, he figures there's no way he could get it even though he's only had his henchmen knocked out, so he decides to kill everyone by pulling a rope that just suddenly appeared between scenes and making the cave collapse. He's then crushed under a rock, but not the typical "buried in so many you don't even see them coming in contact with the body" way; he is hilariously crushed under a single rock roughly his own size cutting him off in the middle of his Evil Laugh.
- In the first episode, Iruka's dramatic speech is ruined thanks to all the snot coming out of Naruto's nose.
- In Shippuden Episode 114, the death of Tsunade's brother in a flashback. He just shows up in a flashback about Orochimaru's life without any indication, runs ahead of his team, and just... explodes. And his necklace lands near the rest of his team.
- Itachi's infamous RAPE FACE made the jump from manga to Shippudden's sixth opening. Every time one watches the upcoming episodes, it's there to remind the viewer how ridiculous it is.
- Viz's translation of the scene where Hinata confesses her love to Naruto goes well until Hinata is charging to attack Pain. She lets out a battle cry of "Rraawrr!" It's quite amusing to imagine Nana Mizuki or Stephanie Sheh trying to make a sound similar to one made by Rorschach while voicing Hinata.
- The reaction to the ninja that killed Nagato’s parents after mistaking them for other ninjas is approximately, "Woops, our bad".
- From the same flashback, we see where Nagato got the idea of becoming a god to help the world right before a stray exploding kunai comes by and kills his dog. The timing makes it hilarious.
- The overly dramatic narration at the end of Chapter 480 ruined an otherwise disturbing scene for many readers: Sasuke enters true darkness!!! Look at Madara's expression... er... eye on that page. He looks like he just had an orgasm.
- Chapter 484, seeing the Susanoo fizzle out after its latest upgrade was unexpectedly hilarious because the page before had Sasuke declare in a dramatic fashion how he wanted to "change everybody's scornful laughter to screams and moans".
- When Naruto enters the fox state and the chakra tails begin to appear, it looks like he's suffering from the problem that defeated Kiba in the Chuunin exams. Particularly when it's viewed from the rear.
- Naruto throwing the rhino during the battle with Pain was awesome in the manga. In Shippuden Episode 163, due to Off-Model animation in some parts, it looks more like he's trying to scare the rhino away
◊ by saying, "AWAY WITH YOU!" - Shippuden Episode 167 — the climactic showdown between Pain and the enraged Four-Tailed Naruto — is considered to be the Narmiest fight in the entire series despite the Animation Bump it was given. Due to its stylized and exaggerated, yet Off-Model animation (which was likely intended to reflect Naruto's current condition), as well as its bizarre choerography, the entire scene seems less like a chaotic, no-holds-barred clash between two superpowered ninjas, and more like a wacky slapstick sequence that would feel right at home in Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry (best illustrated by this hilarious edit of the fight). note Some highlights include:
- Kyuubi!Naruto grabbing a gigantic pillar of rock and repeatedly hammering Pain into the ground with it like a nail, in a manner that can only be described as Whack-A-Mole-No-Jutsu. Then Pain, whose head is sticking out of the ground, merely looks at Kyuubi!Naruto and asks this with a dead-serious expression:Pain: Do you hate me?
- Kyuubi!Naruto suprising Pain with a high-speed left hook to the face, causing the latter's head to become momentarily off-model and wobble hilariously like Jello.◊
- Any time Pain shows any emotion other than his default one, the most infamous example being a series of frames◊ where Pain proceeds to punch the ground beneath him with all his might. His face stretches and contorts to convey the sheer force, speed, and rage Pain puts into his attack, but it ends up looking ridiculously Off-Model, not helped by how he visibly gains Flapping Cheeks. Then there's Pain's Wangst-y, painfully punny line to Naruto as he does it:Pain: My pain is far greater than yours!
- Naruto sending Pain cartwheeling through the air for a good twenty seconds before hitting the side of a cliff. Pain's head sticks into it, his entire body goes rigid for several moments before going limp, and is immediately smothered by rubble falling on top of him.
- Kyuubi!Naruto grabbing a gigantic pillar of rock and repeatedly hammering Pain into the ground with it like a nail, in a manner that can only be described as Whack-A-Mole-No-Jutsu. Then Pain, whose head is sticking out of the ground, merely looks at Kyuubi!Naruto and asks this with a dead-serious expression:
- 533: Chouji spontaneously sprouting butterfly wings out of sheer rage. It's an awesome moment for what it represents... but still really silly looking.
- In the 8th Shippuden opening "Diver" here, the uplifting and dramatic moment where all of Naruto's friends push him out of the water to the surface is ruined when it appears that Sai is touching Naruto's butt.
- Suigetsu threatening Sasuke would have been a lot more dramatic if Suigetsu hadn't been naked while he was doing it.
- In the manga Danzo's reaction to a group of assassins trying to kill him is to shred them apart with a wind technique; naturally, this is extremely painful. In the Viz translation instead of screams of pain one assassin just say "Owww Man" making it come off as if they've just scraped a knee instead.
- "Yondaime... Minato. Step away from the Jinchuuriki, or your son dies at the ripe old age of one minute." The line was meant to sound threatening, but the way it is delivered makes it come across as unintentionally humorous in a rather dark way, like something you would hear from a Lemony Narrator instead of a menacing villain.
- Karin can heal people if they bite her. This becomes hilarious in the anime where, when Sasuke bites her, she reacts by throwing her head back and moaning like she is having an orgasm. We then see her breathing heavily next to Sasuke and him standing up, both of them acting like they just had sex.
- As Shikamaru's trap caves in on his dismantled body, Hidan gets pelted by a rock on one eye hard enough that it goes lazy, giving him a goofy, broken-eyed baby doll look as he continues to spew out taunts in wake of the torturous fate about to ensue.
- Chapter 635: Thanks to the help of Orochimaru the Kages are fully healed and ready to go into battle again. Then we see a panel of all of them standing together in what would have been an epic pose if it wasn't for Tsunade leaning down and giving us a shot of her butt in the same panel.
- Like Obito before him, Sasuke's shouts of "WOOH!" in Chapter 697, which is probably meant to be a dramatic declaration of anguish, but really looks more like he's cheering as he punches the crap out of Naruto.
