Whether it's the anime, VN, or manga, even Umineko can unfortunately have a few unintentionally hilarious moments. Most examples are from the anime.
- The anime's ending theme is a textbook case of drama ruined by Engrish. It starts out with ominous chanting and foreboding lyrics. Then Kinzo starts laughing, which damages the drama but doesn't break it. But then comes Jimang's strained and awkward Engrish, crooning lines like "OH DESIRE", "OH MY PRAYER", and "SACRIFICE SHEEP TO A GOD". You can't help laughing at that.
- In EP 7 of the manga, the expression on Ange's face as she's having her Freak Out screaming over the truth of what befell her family 12 years ago being confirmed in red, while bleeding and starting to break apart into scrap meat. You feel like when Bernkastel mockingly says "What a lovely expression, one that'll keep me laughing for about a hundred years!", you should not be inclined to agree with her.
- Any time crying is written out has a strong chance of being this.
- The huge Tear Jerker of a scene where Ange breaks down and denies the Stakes, Maria and Sakutaro, killing them as a side effect is ruined in the manga when her "closest friend" Mammon's last words are "Your first and last FRIEEEEEEND!". What kills it is the extremely long "frieeeeeeeeeend!"; when the scalators have to break it into paragraphs due to how exaggerated it is, you know it's not gonna work as dramatically as it should have.
- Rosa tearing Sakutaro apart is meant to be horrible and tragic, and it is...but in the manga, it's followed by Rosa declaring "SAKUTARO IS DEAD." with a deadpan looking expression while shoving Sakutaro's severed head right in Maria's face, turning it into a moment that Crosses the Line Twice.
- To one of Battler's arguments in EP 3, Beatrice reacts with shock, while Renove claims he has learned the Multi-layered Worlds Reduction Technique from Virgilia. All he said is that he simply can't trust that the magic battle he was shown really happened, which isn't an unreasonable use of logic.
- The infamous "small bombs" defense in EP 4. While it's not technically impossible to make some sort of device that bursts the stomach open from inside, thus getting the argument accepted, it'd be quite an endlessly sophisticated device to damage the front of the stomach only. But the best part is Battler wrapping it up with "I refuse to explain!" It's treated with mockery, both in and out of universe.
- In EP 6 George and Eva have a serious conversation about the former's future, and Eva insists that George should return into her womb.
