History Funny / HigurashiWhenTheyCry

* In the first OVA to Higurashi ''Kira'', there are two instances where the Killer Loli aspect of the franchise is PlayedForLaughs to hilarious effect.

* Sotsu Episode 14: Rika's many deaths. One, in particular, being Rika and Satoko seemingly cooking a meal normally...until Satoko suddenly hits Rika in the face with the frying pan.

* Sotsu Episode 14: Rika's many deaths. One, in particular, being Rika and Satoko seemingly cooking a meal normally...until Satoko suddenly hits Rika's face with the frying pan.

* [[AC: Sotsu Episode 14]]: Rika's many deaths. One, in particular, being Rika and Satoko seemingly cooking a meal normally...until Satoko suddenly hits Rika's face with the frying pan.

* [[AC: Episode 14]]: Rika's many deaths. One, in particular, being Rika and Satoko seemingly cooking a meal normally...until Satoko scorches Rika's face with the burning oils from the frying pan.

--> '''Rika:''' The "au aus" are awfully loud today. Maybe a stray dog's howling somewhere.

--> '''Rika:''' The "au aus" are awfully loud today. Maybe a stray dog's howling somewhere."

--> '''Rika:''' Y-you really are annoying today! Oh right, Satoko, we have to make something good, huh? I have an idea. Can you bring ou the large kimchi bottle from the refrigerator? No, not that one. Not the one that says "punishment"; the one that says "death penalty". Let's make kimchi fried rice today. Akasaka, do you like spicy food?

--> Prefectural and municipal assembly members. Staff members of the Chamber of Commerce. An executive of a business association....An executive of a town council association [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a PTA liaison]]...

** Which is strange, as in the more detailed VN, this scene has a rather sad music and [[TheWoobie makes you feel really bad for Hanyuu]]. That being said, even the VN ends with a moment of levity. Rika, seeing how much Takano's words are hurting Hanyuu, scolds her for sacrilege in a holy place and asks her to apologize. Takano does so but Hanyuu, still upset and pouting, wordlessly holds up three fingers. Cue an exasperated Rika explaining to Takano and Tomitake that Oyashiro-sama is demanding [[SweetTooth three cream cakes]] as penance (which they naturally assume are for her, much to Rika's flustered annoyance).

** Which is strange, as in the more detailed VN, this scene has a rather sad music and [[TheWoobie makes you feel really bad for Hanyu]].

** Episode three of Kai does this same scene again, except it's even funnier. Same episode includes Keiichi giving a long speech to a baseball player about how [[AllMenArePerverts there's nothing wrong with being a pervert]] so the Hinamizawa baseball team can beat his team.

* Again from the Watanagashi-hen visual novel, Shion shows up at the Watanagashi Festival and decides to tease her twin by pressing her breasts against Keiichi's arm. Rika sees this and tries the same thing. [[ACupAngst Too bad Rika doesn't have anything]].
* And from the epilogue of the Watanagashi VN when Ooishi comes to visit Keiichi in hospital and brings him a "get well" gift- a collection of assorted porn. When Keiichi understandably freaks out and tells him to take it away, Ooishi warns him that if he doesn't expand his mind while he's in hospital, by the time he emerges he'll have nothing left but a nurse fetish.

* Toward the end of the Tsumihoroboshi sound novel, after the hostages have been freed an officer who pulled rank on Ooishi (and barely understands the situation to begin with) begins making stupid orders. Ooishi handles him.

* In the first OVA to Higurashi Kira, there are two instances where the Killer Loli aspect of the franchise is PlayedForLaughs to hilarious effect.

* The scene in the second Higurashi Kira OVA when Rika transforms into her [[MagicalGirl magical girl]] form, only to realize that she's still a child and that [[ACupAngst her chest is still flat.]] Sorry, Rika. It looks like you'll never beat Mion.

* At the [[BreakingTheFourthWall All Cast Review Session]] of Himatsubushi-hen, Keiichi (who at that point still didn't have a picture in the game) takes advantage of the lights being turned off to harass the girls since he didn't have any appearance in the previous All Cast Review Sessions due to not having a picture. Then Chie-sensei channels [[{{VisualNovel/Tsukihime}} Ciel]] and starts attacking Keiichi with Black Keys and the freaking [[{{BFG}} Seventh Holy Scripture]]. HilarityEnsues.

* In the second episode of Kai Rena busts out the "puberty petrification spell for boys" by acting all {{Moe}} in order to stall Keiichi until the end of the club's game of tag. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l80AHP8oiRc]]

** The parts where Shion trolls either of them are infinitely more hilarious, especially in the Watanagashi arc. Even that is taken up to eleven in the English anime dub, where her voice actor just becomes so blatant about it that you can't help laughing.

* The chorus to Keiichi and Oishii's character rap song, "Uwasa no Jikenbo ABC." Yes, that's right. ''Rap''. Cue the beat:

* The last episode of ''Rei'', where Rena accidentally swallows a magatama that will make her fall in love with whomever carries its counterpart. As the magatama ends up in the hands of Tomitake, Takano, and finally Ooishi... HilarityEnsues.

* In the first episode of the Tatarigoroshi-hen chapter:

* The point in Meakashi-hen where Mion tells Shion about Keiichi's obliviousness and gets sad... so Shion decides to make her happy by joking about how she'll compete with Mion for Keiichi and working her twin into a rage. Trolling: it's a public service!

* From the Watanagashi-hen visual novel: The club game is a game where they are given a topic and they have to write down the first word that comes to mind. If someone else has the same word as them, they get a point. The theme is "Summer vacation". Everyone writes down things such as "Summer festival" and start getting all excited about the idea of summer vacation while happy music plays. Then Keiichi shows the others his word. What word did Keiichi chose? Homework. Cue the happy music stopping.

* The whole game of rich-man, poor-man in Onikakushi, extra mentions going to the principal's fighting game skills.

* At the first episode of the Tatarigoroshi-hen, Keiichi gets a phone call from Satoko about some kind of trouble. Thinking there's a big fight, he then speeds to school on his bike, brandishing a golf club, and gets ready to lay the smackdown... Only to find himself in the middle of a baseball match. All that she wanted was Keiichi to replace a player. Even more hilarious is, 99% of the time, his weapon of choice is a baseball bat.

* In the Onikakushi visual novels, Mion once says she's gonna start a rumor that Keiichi and Rena went to a LoveHotel together. This prompts Rena to punch her, knocking her out, and she walks off like nothing happened.

* When Shion is being harassed by pervy otaku at Angel Mort in Wataganashi-hen, Keiichi tries to stand up for her, but just gets his ass kicked (the otaku happened to know martial arts). So Keiichi calls in "the ultimate" reinforcements: namely, Rena, Rika, and Satoko. The four of them hatch an epic revenge plot which involves Rena "accidentally" kicking every offender's shins, Satoko sneaking laxatives into their desserts, Keiichi blocking the men's restroom, and Rika cutely occupying the girls' restroom, so the pervs are forced to evacuate. The restaurant staff (and the more normal customers) all applaud their efforts afterwards. Do ''not'' mess with the Hinamizawa Games Club.
