* Megalon and Gigan are rather expressive in this movie. At one point, when they have Godzilla and Jet Jaguar trapped in a circle of fire, [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Etwvy9cVEAQqLTv?format=jpg&name=large Megalon actually makes a "kiss my ass" gesture]]. Then when Jet Jaguar flies himself and Godzilla out of there, they're [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EtwwEAjVEAwhHo_?format=jpg&name=large visibly surprised]], culminating in [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EtwwVhqVcAQ4MuB?format=jpg&name=large Megalon's expression being like, "seriously?!"]]

** There's another RealityEnsues moment later when Ken chews out Ota for smoking near him when he's trying to quit, which results in this gem:

* The SignatureScene of Kong ramming a tree down Godzilla's throat, causing the King of the Monsters to choke and spew out his atomic breath in rage. It almost looks like [[StockYuck Kong is trying to make Godzilla eat his veggies with Godzilla acting like a bratty child]]. It's so iconic that it was reenacted in ''Film/GodzillaVsKong''.

!!!''Film/GodzillaFinalWars''
* The scene in New York City between the pimp, the homeless drunk guy, and the cop.
* Captain Gordon in ''Final Wars'' gets a particularly dry one. At one point, he orders the civilians to get to their ship, while he holds off two aliens. They end up getting pinned down by a huge number of the aliens, who only are defeated when [[spoiler: the head alien sets off the self destruct on the ship]]. Gordon, fresh from his own battle, just saunters past, ignoring the carnage, and in an irritated voice says, "I though I told you to get to the ship" and keeps on walking, katana on his shoulder.
** Gordon had a good one during his fight scene as well. One of his opponents was female, and after he gets the upper hand, he has his fist pulled back ready to deck her, when she gives the old "you wouldn't hit a woman would you?" routine. He hesitates, opens his hand, smiles...then says "Yeah." and knocks her out with a karate chop to the neck!
* This is more mildly amusing: Godzilla walks off, and Minilla runs behind, as if to say "Hey, wait for me!"
* Godzilla is fighting King Ceasar, Rodan, and Anguirus. Anguirus, in rolling death ball form, charges Godzilla, who swats him away with his tail toward King Ceasar. King Ceasar responds by performing a soccer kick and sending Anguirus back toward Godzilla, though missing. Godzilla proceeds to... try and intercept Anguirus like a goal keeper, though he fails.
* The Xillian commander is a walking version of this trope; from his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIcExdpsEcQ enraged freakout]] when Zilla gets demolished by Godzilla to his hilariously over-the-top banter with the other hammy characters. [[ButtMonkey Gigan, too]]; after being built up as Mothra's mortal enemy...he gets killed ''twice''; once via [[OffWithHisHead Godzilla-related decapitation]], the other a [[MadeOfExplodium double kill]] [[TakingYouWithMe via Mothra]].

* Godzilla FLIES by using his atomic breath to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kv-k8WvQOE lift off like a rocket]].
** The DVD chapter of the scene: "Something you don't see everyday."

* Tokumitsu Yuhara initially turns down an offer to take part in the Kiryu Project on the basis that it would separate him from his daughter Sara. Sara tries to talk him out of it by saying she could come with him, citing the example of a baseball player who let his kid into the dugout. Tokumitsu just rolls his eyes and says those are two completely different things. [[InstantlyProvenWrong Cue the government agents showing up at Tokumitsu's door offering him the job again, saying that Sara can come with him]], [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike citing the example of a baseball player who let his kid into the dugout as a precedent]].

* In the Creator/DarkHorseComics one-shot Godzilla Color Special, when G-Force is trying to get a town of villagers to safety [[TheBigGuy Kino]] asks why they've stopped... and then sees the reason.

* [[ComicBook/GodzillaIDWPublishing The IDW comics]]:
** ''ComicBook/GodzillaOngoing'':
*** When Kiryu is running low on power, [[DeadpanSnarker Hikari]] sarcastically remarks "What, are you just going to pull up to a power plant and ask them to fill 'er up?" [[GilliganCut Minutes later...]]

*** Kiryu giving Kumonga a ''piggyback ride'' to New York City.
** ''ComicBook/GodzillaRulersOfEarth'':
*** Zilla [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere getting the hell out of Dodge]] when Godzilla (whom he'd been battling with) gets distracted by the military in ''Rulers Of Earth''.
*** Issue 4 of "Rulers of Earth": after Godzilla, Mothra, and her twin larvae send Destoroyah packing, Godzilla turns to leave while one larva goes to Mothra to help her. The other larva tries to [[MythologyGag bite the tip of Godzilla's tail]], but he gives it a sidelong DeathGlare and the larva sheepishly backs away with a guilty expression.
*** Issue 17: After defeating an army of Mechagodzillas and Mecha-King Ghidorah, Godzilla and Anguirus [[MythologyGag both swim away together]]. Before doing so though, a physically exhausted Godzilla tries to take a quick breather, only for Anguirus to retort [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple with an unimpressed snort by Godzilla's fatigue]].
** ''ComicBook/GodzillaTheHalfCenturyWar'':
*** When the Anti-Megalosaur Force realizes they've got a human foe:

!!!''Film/GhidorahTheThreeHeadedMonster''
* Godzilla getting hit [[GroinAttack below the belt]] by Ghidorah's Gravity Beam; he even ''covers the area when it hits!'' As well, Rodan [[NoSell shrugging off]] Godzilla's Atomic Ray
* The banter between Mothra, Godzilla and Rodan is pretty funny.
--> '''Shobijin''' (reacting to something Godzilla said): Godzilla, what [[SirSwearsALot terrible language]]!

[[quoteright:350:[[Film/GodzillaVsMegalon https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/godzilla_dropkick_51.jpg]]]]
[[caption-width-right:350:What, you didn't think the King of Monsters could pull off a DynamicEntry?]]

* ''Film/KingKongVsGodzilla'':
** Mr. Tako resting his arm on the TNT plunger.
** The first turning point in the end clash, which is Kong making a dash at Godzilla... only for him to step aside, causing Kong to slam his face into a rock, then pass out. By this time, the creators were aware of the [[{{Narm}} inherited goofiness]] of {{kaiju}} movies, so they intentionally hammed this film up. The fact that [[ManInARubberSuit the suits]] [[SpecialEffectFailure never stop looking like suits]] then adds an unintentional layer of hilarity to the scene.
* ''Film/MothraVsGodzilla'':
** Nakamura (Yu Fujiki) has a funny line:.
--->"Well I'm not as afraid of Godzilla, as I am of the editor. [[DaEditor He's meaner]]."
* ''Film/GhidorahTheThreeHeadedMonster''
** Godzilla getting hit [[GroinAttack below the belt]] by Ghidorah's Gravity Beam; he even ''covers the area when it hits!'' As well, Rodan [[NoSell shrugging off]] Godzilla's Atomic Ray
** The banter between Mothra, Godzilla and Rodan is pretty funny.
---> '''Shobijin''' (reacting to something Godzilla said): Godzilla, what [[SirSwearsALot terrible language]]!
* ''Film/InvasionOfAstroMonster''
** After driving away King Ghidorah, Godzilla [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMxrXMjPMcc does a victory dance]]. It's a happy moment.
** After recovering from being [[MindControl Mind Controlled]], Godzilla kicks a rock at King Ghidorah, and smacks Rodan with his tail.
** Earlier in the film there's a nice DeadpanSnarker moment courtesy of the Controller of Planet X:
--->'''Glenn:''' "Can't you drive [King Ghidorah] away?"
--->'''Controller:''' "If you have an idea how to do it, won't you tell us?"
* ''Film/SonOfGodzilla'':
** When Minilla first learned the atomic breath, and then tried to use the ability against the bad guys.
*** Minya in general tends to be this; if he's not [[EpicFail failing at being like Godzilla]], he's usually either fleeing from a fight or [[SmarterThanYouLook luring the]] [[MonsterOfTheWeek latest Minya-hating kaiju]] [[SmarterThanYouLook into a trap.]] And making ''donkey sounds'' all the while, no less.
* ''[[Film/GodzillaVsHedorah Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster]]'':
** Godzilla FLIES by using his atomic breath to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kv-k8WvQOE lift off like a rocket]].
*** The DVD chapter of the scene: "Something you don't see everyday."
* ''Film/GodzillaVsMegalon'':
** Godzilla's "flying dropkick" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr26p3hIgm4&feature=related must be seen]] to be appreciated.

* In ''Film/GodzillaVsBiollante'', a bio-terrorist smacks someone wearing a construction worker hat in the head with what looks like a yellow board. It knocks the man out, with a cheesy, cartoonish ''BOING!'' to complete it.
* This exchange at the end of ''Film/GodzillaVsSpaceGodzilla:''

* ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah'':
** Destoroyah's [[OhCrap realization]] that Godzilla (or his detonation) were likely going to slaughter him due to the intense heat; he actively [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere tries to flee from the biggest threat]]; but [[HoistByHisOwnPetard is shot down by freeze rays and frozen, then shattering upon impact with the solid ground.]]
*** If he survived, which is possible, (he is composed of micro organisms) he would be lying frozen and still have been killed by the meltdown.

* ''Film/GodzillaVsMegaguirus'':
** Godzilla's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yg9WkaPMlk flying bodyslam]] is up there alongside the aforementioned flying dropkick as a ridiculous move.
** From the same movie, Megaguirus tries to perform a DiagonalCut on Godzilla with her pincers, that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlPlw64JMT8&feature=related Godzilla seems to dodge]]...then one of Megaguirus's pincers slide off, revealing that Godzilla performed a counter-DiagonalCut with his dorsal spikes. doubles as SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
* In ''Film/GodzillaAgainstMechagodzilla'', Tokumitsu Yuhara initially turns down an offer to take part in the Kiryu Project on the basis that it would separate him from his daughter Sara. Sara tries to talk him out of it by saying she could come with him, citing the example of a baseball player who let his kid into the dugout.
