* If you're into black comedy, Shinji's infamous [[ADateWithRosiePalms actions]] in ''End'' could be seen as comeuppance for Asuka's "Thermal Expansion" speech in episode 10.
* The ending line of Asuka saying "Disgusting." can be interpreted as extreme BlackComedy in response to [[ADateWithRosiePalms learning what Shinji did when she was comatose]].

* The little-known EVANGELION-VOX, an album of rnb and hip hop covers of songs from the score of the series, contains the gem "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8-uDjNq4fA X-plicit ]]", summarizing the general audience reaction to the [[ADateWithRosiePalms hospital]] [[DudeShesLikeInAComa scene]] from ''End'' in a ClusterFBomb:

* Episode 7 includes a scene in which Shinji berates Misato for being slobby, adding, "[[ChristmasCake I can understand why you're still single at your age.]]" Cue Misato [[BerserkButton trying]] to [[TranquilFury calmly defend herself]] with the fakest smile you have ever seen (her eyebrow is actually [[EyeTwitch twitching with rage]]).

--> '''{{Creator/Spike Spencer}} (Shinji):''' (Um...) Oh, this is- this is nice, I, uh- This is the end, okay... Where exactly am I?! Um... Oh, grea- here's the song, oh good. Uhmmm, there's some things that are still unresolved here, guys! How- How do I get home? Ah- what do I eat? Was... Rei my- my mom, or... a ''clone'', or... hell- was this all in my mind? What- What's an EVA? Is that- sort of a Freudian... ''thing'', er... um... am I ''real''? Oh, ''hell''- does the ''bus'' run through here? I mean, I'd like to go home now, but, um... oh, God, where's home? Okay, okay, okay. I mustn't run away, I mustn't... Okay I got that, good, okay. Now, if I were to run away, let's analyze that. Where the ''[[PrecisionFStrike fuck]]'' would I go?! I'm on a big blue ball! Uhh, is this how you end a series? I mean, is this- where we go from here? Okay, [[Recap/NeonGenesisEvangelionEpisode25LoveIsDestructive the movie]] better sure as hell make up for this, I'm telling ya right now, 'cause I'm stuck in Nowhere-Land...

* Asuka's introduction in episode 8. Touji's hat gets blown off by the wind. Asuka (who's wearing a yellow sun dress) steps on it, and Touji spends a while trying to get the hat until it lands at Asuka's feet and [[DramaticWind the wind blows]] Asuka's [[MarilynManeuver skirt upwards]]. Cue the TitleCard for the episode, with the normal sound replaced by the sound of [[ArmorPiercingSlap Asuka slapping him]] (as well as [[ButtMonkey Shinji]] and [[UnprovokedPervertPayback Kensuke, who had the bad luck of being right behind Touji when this happened]]). After the title card, Touji decides that the best thing to do would be to [[DefiantStrip return the favor]] but he ends up using too much force and [[AccidentalPervert pulling his underwear off as well]]. He gets bitchslapped ''so many times'' by the horrified Asuka that for the rest of the episode his face is beet red. Despite not sounding very funny, it's actually utterly hilarious in the show. Asuka's facial expression of bug-eyed horror in that scene is priceless.

** Double hilarity at "[[TemptingFate The movie sure]] [[KillEmAll as hell]] [[DespairEventHorizon better make]] [[FromBadToWorse up for this!]]"

*** And her (accurate) observation about Misato kissing Shinji: "You cleaned his tonsils with your tongue! [[RelationshipWritingFumble That's not a very motherly thing to do!]]"

* When Shinji runs out of the shower. Thanks to the wonderful rules of perspective, we get to see him bolt into the kitchen, where sits Misato and a [[SceneryCensor very convenient beer can on the table to censor Shinji's... well]]. Not only does this scene drag on from this perspective for at least thirty seconds of speaking, but then Misato ''picks up her beer'', only to reveal a [[GagCensor small can of toothpicks]] behind ''that''. The toothpicks thing just seems to be either the writer or animator's way of adding [[TeenyWeenie insult to injury]] for [[ButtMonkey poor Shinji]]. He actually doesn't even notice he's naked until Misato points it out, and he has a massive NakedFreakOut.

---> '''[[BrokenSmile Ritsuko]], [[InnerMonologue internally:]]''' How does someone ruin boil in the bag food?!

** Shinji Ikari Raising Project changes this scene to Rei giving a cold smile, before [[PervertRevengeMode bitch slapping him to the ground]]. Doubles as SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for anyone who wanted to see this done to the ButtMonkey, and triples as a bit of a RunningGag as Rei slaps him again after his comments about his father.

** The absolute best part was the aftermath of their first battle. The enemy splits in half, and we get a hard cut back to HQ with Asuka and Shinji being chewed out over the battle... complete with photos of their [=EVAs=] [[HammeredIntoTheGround stuck upside down in the ground with the legs sticking straight up.]] The Netflix dub even has Asuka yell to Shinji, "You look like you drowned shit!" This gets even funnier when you consider that unlike literally ''[[NoNonsenseNemesis every other angel]]'' up to this point and after, the angel didn't kill them after cleaning their clocks or even try to; it just ''slam dunked them'' into the ground and continued on. The idea of an angel deliberately doing something so goofy is just gut busting.

--> '''Shinji:''' Oh, this is- this is nice, I, uh- This is the end, okay... Where exactly am I?! Um... Oh, grea- here's the song, oh good.

'''Kaworu:''' Okay.

* In Chapter 34 of the manga, Shinji wonders why Hikari keeps asking him about Toji when she constantly yells at him, and Asuka responds that [[BelligerentSexualTension it obviously shows she likes him]], and that he'll never understand "the female psyche". Shinji then starts wondering if being harsh is how women show they like men, thinking about Misato and how [[TsunDere she]] [[BelligerentSexualTension acts around]] [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend Kaji]]. He then starts considering what Asuka's harsh behavior towards him might mean, and [[SelectiveObliviousness Asuka's reaction is hilarious.]]

** In the manga by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Shinji, Touji and Kensuke first encounter Asuka at an arcade and witness her go ballistic and [[EnmityWithAnObject start kicking the machine ferociously when it fails to give her the trinket she wants]]. (As an EasterEgg for Gainax enthusiasts, the toys in the machine are ''[[Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater Nadia]]'' figurines.) Asuka notices Kensuke [[EatingTheEyeCandy ogling her]] and immediately demands a "viewing fee" of 100 yen from each of the boys for allegedly glimpsing her panties while she kicked the machine. Asuka is subsequently threatened by a group of thugs and manages to single-handedly defeat them. Shinji gets kicked in the face during the melee, and when Misato notices the bruise on Shinji's cheek and asks what happened later on, Asuka tells a tall tale about Shinji defending her from the thugs, and threatens Shinji ''sotto voce'' with bodily harm if he dares to contradict her version of events. Shinji thinks back to when Misato suggested that Asuka might be "the most normal of the Eva pilots," and quickly decides that's not so.
** In the anime, there's the lunch scene aboard the carrier where Kaji first [[FootsieUnderTheTable plays footsie with Misato]] and then asks Shinji if Misato is still so "[[SexGoddess wild in bed]]". Shinji completely misses the point and answers normally, while Misato turns the color of beetroot and screams at Kaji, and the other three kids FaceFault and raise their hands as though Kaji and Misato were radioactive. Following that, there's the scene with the inappropriately small elevator. Notice that in this scene, Shinji's face is [[MarshmallowHell wedged between Misato's boobs]].

** The manga version of this episode also includes a hilarious scene in Shinji and Asuka's apartment. Asuka steps out of the shower with a ModestyTowel wrapped around her midsection - presumably naked - and [[TheTease starts teasing Shinji]], asking what he thinks of her body and if he'd like her to remove the towel so he can see her well-developed breasts. Of course, she had just been threatening Shinji before stepping into the shower, warning him not to peep on her, so of course Shinji is freaking out. Asuka removes the towel... and reveals that she's not naked, but wearing a sleeveless, strapless top and Daisy Duke-like shorts. As she doubles over in laughter at Shinji's reaction, Shinji points out that Misato is probably watching them with security cameras. Asuka stops laughing immediately and looks alarmed. Cut to the control room to reveal that, although the kids' room is indeed being monitored, Misato is asleep at the controls.

* Another good one is during a semi-public bath scene in a spring divided by a wall--Misato and Asuka are bathing on one side, and Shinji and Pen-Pen are on the other. Shinji is treated to a lot of [[SkinshipGrope suggestive-sounding dialogue from the girls]]. Viewers can only see his blushing face for a long moment, and when the camera pulls back, the penguin looks down at Shinji's crotch, covered by the water, as if [[RagingStiffie something interesting is going on]].

* The following exchange in episode 16. (English dub)

** In the manga by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Shinji, Touji and Kensuke first encounter Asuka at an arcade and witness her go ballistic and [[EnmityWithAnObject start kicking the machine ferociously when it fails to give her the trinket she wants]].
