Is it just me or is a lot of the stuff on the page... well, not Complaining About Shows You Dont Like, but complaining about things in general that aren't really Narm-y at all? Like these:
How about the crazy pronounciations of names for the Japanese soundtrack? C.C.'s name sounds like "shih tzu" half the time, V.V. gets called "Bui Tzoo," and whenever V.V. calls Emperor Charles by his given name, it comes out as a garbled "Shlalooloo" or something. And of course, for your viewing pleasure...
Not a Narm in the original dialogue; but in the fansub of the scene when Shirley dies, for some idiotic reason, they decided to subtitle Lelouch's scream as "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" when you can ALREADY hear him scream. That subtitle ruined the mood of an otherwise tragic scene.
Apparently "C.C." is pronounced "C two", "V.V." vice versa, and "Charles" is pronounced in French ("Sharl").
Don't forget Sharii, Riibaru, and Jyeremiya Gottobarto!
(Imagine, if you will, in Dan Green 's voice): After a long day of taking over the world, nothing refreshes me more than pouring cool, Aquafina-brand water all over me. Yes, look at that water dribble down all over my CLAMP-designed bishonen body! Have you had enough, fangirls, or do you want MORE?! Aquafina is the only brand of water I trust not to be poisoned by jealous nobles who like to drop carriages on imperial consorts! Aquafina: Because pouring Gatorade on your body is too much of a mess (and way too titillating for the fangirls)!
In episode 18 of R2, Suzaku says "I must live" and kills a lot of people.
Did Lelouch just name a plan in Pig Latin? It sounds like Uptay Allifeiay, which would translate as Tup Iallife. What language is that?
I don't have a problem with people criticizing stuff, but it just seems like a good deal of examples on the page were put there by people who didn't like them for whatever reason, not because they were attempts at serious scenes which came off as ridiculous or silly for whatever reason - you know, the definition of Narm the main page gives. What do others think?

I'd say that nothing up there except for "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH" qualifies as narm—that one genuinely made me chuckle.*
It also made me think that the subbers deserved a light smack upside the head.
The third example in particular shouldn't qualify because it's not in the show itself, even though the third bullet on it is hilarious.
