History Funny / FateStayNight

* A small MythologyGag happens when Shirou wakes up in Kotomine's back room in the church, where he says that he sadly has no wine for Shirou. Considering how ridiculously full of wine it was in LightNovel/FateZero, this heavily implies [[ItsAllAboutMe Gilgamesh]] ''drank it all''.

* This [[SarcasmMode incredibly mature and serious exchange]] between Archer and Shirou, made [[HilariousInHindsight all the more funnier]] after finishing the route:

* During Fate, Taiga is slow to accept Saber's living in the Emiya household as (she thinks) a {{Pretty Freeloader|s}} who's out for Shirou, and so challenges her to a sword duel. While Taiga is [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass a fifth-dan kendo champion]], Saber in her lifetime literally lived and died by the sword, and is good enough to disarm Taiga almost instantly. Taiga degenerates into sobs and cries of "SOME STRANGER TOOK SHIROU AWAY...!"

* In general this route was hilarious due to Shirou being at his snarkiest and well [[{{Tsundere}} R]][[TheTease i]][[TheGadfly n]].

* In the [[http://mangafox.me/manga/fate_stay_night_heaven_s_feel/v01/c001/31.html manga adaptation]], Shirou thinks- with absolute seriousness- "Gaze internally into the stove." That sentence will probably never be repeated.

"Of course not. Do I look any different?"

* Tiger Dojo 11, reached by [[PressXToDie choosing not to stand up]], thereby [[UnwinnableByInsanity knowingly and obviously accepting defeat]] at the hands of Gilgamesh.

* The intermission scene when Shinji [[spoiler:loses Rider and goes to the Church]] has the narration repeatedly refer to him as a loser. The scene itself is also called "Another blessing for this loser."
* If you got Tiger Dojo 23 where you have Shirou refuse Lancer's offer to cooperate with him, Taiga will suddenly declare that this Tiger Dojo will be the last one for ''Unlimited Blade Works'', much to Illya's confusion because there was supposed to be another one after Tiger Dojo 23. Taiga's reason for saying such is because she believes Tiger Dojo 24 is a death so avoidable and pathetic that you need to be deliberately holding the IdiotBall just to be able to get it. [[TemptingFate Sure enough]], once you get Tiger Dojo 24, which you can trigger by having Shirou choose to [[spoiler:take Gilgamesh with him when the Grail is sucking him in]], Taiga will be so obviously extremely pissed at Shirou for making such a dumb choice that she strings a chibi version of him up and whacks him hard enough to fly with her shinai.

* There's a serious scene where Rin and Shirou have a tense argument about [[spoiler:whether to kill Sakura.]] Cue a sudden crashing sound, Rin and Shirou stop in their tracks… and Kirei, casually providing his own commentary in the background. Leading to this conversation:

'''Rin:''' Recovering--- do you mean [[spoiler:Sakura]]?!\\
'''[[WillNotTellALie Kirei]]:''' Who else? From the room she was in, you can somehow hear everything said in the chapel. I am sure she fled when she heard you discuss [[spoiler:killing her]].\\

* [[MoodWhiplash It may be too soon after]] [[TearJerker "You're strong, Berserker"]], but the scene afterward when [[spoiler:Lancer]] offers to help Shirou and Rin get past [[spoiler:Archer]] offers you three options: "All right", "I refuse", and the best option, "I don't mind, but under one condition." Dutifully entitled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9RJolk2QrQ "Rin-sama Embarrassed and Angry"]]:

* This [[SarcasmMode incredibly mature and serious exchange]] between Archer and Shirou, made [[HilariousInHindsight all the more funnier]] [[NotSoDifferent after finishing the route]]:

* During the same fight, Saber figures out who Lancer is approximately seconds after he calls the name of his Noble Phantasm and spear, Gae Bolg. This being the second time he has been identified easily, Lancer remarks that there is such a thing as being too famous. [[spoiler:This also serves as the reason why Saber is using her own weapon in invisible mode, as is apparent by the reveal of her true name.]]

* Rin's impression of Merlin during her discussion with Shirou about the King Arthur legend. She mimics the voice of an old man hilariously in the UpdatedRerelease. {{Hilarious in hindsight}} because years later ''[[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Fate/Grand Order]]'' would reveal Merlin to be a perpetually youthful half-incubus.
* Tiger Dojo 11, reached by [[PressXToDie choosing not to stand up]], thereby [[UnwinnableByInsanity knowingly and obviously accepting defeat]] at the hands of [[spoiler:Gilgamesh]].

* Lancer, when he's about to face off with [[spoiler:Gilgamesh]] because they decided to betray each other ''at the same time'', Saber takes him aside to tell him his opponent's real identity. Lancer's reaction is to cross his arms and say something to the effect of "Well, shit. That's just my luck." Then he goes and fights him to the death anyway.
* When Shinji [[spoiler:has activated the Bloodfort]] and Shirou is trying to stop him, Shirou chokes Shinji to threaten him to stop. Shinji tries to bs him saying that Shirou hasn't kill anyone yet, this is Shirou's response

* In the [[spoiler:fake]] Tiger Dojo, Taiga and Ilya decide to [[WeCanRebuildHim turn Shirou into a robot]] with [[GatlingGood gatling gun hands]], and demand that he join them or be brainwashed. [[GoneHorriblyRight Shirou proceeds to shoot them with his gatling gun arms.]]

* The scene when [[spoiler:Lancer shows up]] and Rin and Shirou start arguing about who's supposed to fight and who's supposed to run away. Their argument gets so intense that they focus more calling out each others' bickering with each. Their argument gets so intense that they forgot when they started in the first place, until they calm down [[spoiler:and remember that Lancer was there, whom just stood by and watched.]]
* [[MoodWhiplash It may be too soon after]] [[spoiler:[[TearJerker "You're strong, Berserker"]]]], but the scene afterward when [[spoiler:Lancer]] offers to help Shirou and Rin get past [[spoiler:Archer]] offers you three options: "All right", "I refuse", and the best option, "I don't mind, but under one condition." Dutifully entitled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9RJolk2QrQ "Rin-sama Embarrassed and Angry"]]:
-->'''Shirou:''' All right, I'll believe you. But it'll be under one condition. I'll accept your help in defeating [[spoiler:Caster]], and we'll trust you. But-\\
[[spoiler:'''Lancer:''']] But what? You want me to tell you who my Master is?\\

[[spoiler:'''Lancer:''']] Hah, I see, I see! Yeah, that's so much more important than who my Master is! You're right, kid!\\

[[spoiler:'''Lancer:''']] [[SincerityMode That's not bad at all. Rather, I have a better opinion of you now.]] Wow, that's great, young lady. [[ShipTease The kid's completely fallen for you!]]\\

[[spoiler:'''Lancer:''']] Reeeally?\\

[[spoiler:'''Lancer:''']] Hey, it's not 'as if'. You two are already in love. [[ShipperOnDeck Even I can tell, and I'm only watching it from the side]]. [[BromanticFoil But she's actually denying it? This is troublesome, kid.]]\\

[[spoiler:'''Lancer:''']] Oh, how reassuring. Then I shall take care when I socialize with her. But she's fun to tease, so I'm going to entertain myself while we're together. You don't mind that condition, right?\\
'''Shirou:''' ...All right. We'll go with that. We'll have your help until we beat [[spoiler:Caster]].\\
[[spoiler:'''Lancer:''']] Then it's decided. Well, let's shake hands.\\
'''Rin:''' I'm so mad!!! Fine, I'm breaking my tie with you guys!!! I'm going to go beat [[spoiler:Caster]] by myself!!!!

* If you got Tiger Dojo 23 where you have Shirou refuse [[spoiler:Lancer's]] offer to cooperate with him, Taiga will suddenly declare that this Tiger Dojo will be the last one for ''Unlimited Blade Works'', much to Illya's confusion because there was supposed to be another one after Tiger Dojo 23. Taiga's reason for saying such is because she believes Tiger Dojo 24 is a death so avoidable and pathetic that you need to be deliberately holding the IdiotBall just to be able to get it. [[TemptingFate Sure enough]], once you get Tiger Dojo 24, which you can trigger by having Shirou choose to [[spoiler:take Gilgamesh with him when the Grail is sucking him in]], Taiga will be so obviously extremely pissed at Shirou for making such a dumb choice that she strings a chibi version of him up and whacks him hard enough to fly with her shinai.

* While rescuing Ilya, Kotomine cheerfully makes Shirou free-climb Einzbern Castle, with Shirou complaining the entire time. Then Kotomine jumps out the window with Illya, spurring Shirou to follow. [[TooDumbToLive By jumping out the window]]. ''From twenty meters (~ sixty-five feet) up.'' [[RealityEnsues He nearly breaks his legs]], and Ilya and Kotomine look at him like he's an idiot for not reinforcing his legs with prana for the fall. His defense?

* How does Ilya's rescue in the Einzbern Forest on Day 15 -- which only can be described as one long ''sequence'' of SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments for both Shirou and Kirei -- actually end? With a healthy dose of RealityEnsues, of course. Shirou and Ilya are left looking worse for wear from battle, caked with dirt (and dried blood in Shirou's case), stranded on foot next to the highway and having to slowly make their long, long way back to the city. Or at least until Shirou jumps in front of a car in order to make it stop and Ilya then hypnotizes the driver into giving them a lift back to Fuyuki. As awesome as his BigDamnHeroes moments can get, Shirou can't exactly claim his rescues are as glamorous as they could be.

** Made even better when you remember [[Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia just]] [[LethalChef who]] Shirou shares a VoiceActor with.

'''Kirei''': Do you want some?\\
'''Shirou''': [[BigNo I don't want any!]]
