History Funny / Noragami

** Yukine is surprised that even Kazuma got sick, leading to Bishamon flashing back to her checking on a bedridden Kazuma. Even being bedridden doesn't stomp him from gushing over her though, since he notes how her black medical mask looks good on her, and then pictures her cosplaying as a biker dominatrix, giving himself a {{nosebleed}} in the process. Yukine just snarks that Kazuma sounds normal to him.

** In a reversal of their normal roles, ''Yato'' ends up being the one who proves knowledgeable and starts teaching the gods what to do and buy as they all take notes, Yukine and Hiyori noting he isn't a "Delivery God" for nothing... until he tries getting to buy the same "air purifier" he did, the other Gods falling for it just as easily as he did.

* Kazuma promises to get Yato a smartphone. It turns out to be a carrier pigeon with the name "Smartphone" on its own ascot. Yato is predictably exasperated, yet seems to warm up to the idea.

Although many parts of Noragami are serious and grave (it's eternal matters, after all...), there is still enough lighthearted and funny moments to prevent it from being too solemn:

* Hiyori calls Yato out for being a BigEater, saying he'll get sick. His response? "I'll be fine. [[NobodyPoops Gods don't need to poop!]]"
** Even funnier considering Japanese mythology and their relationship with excrement.

* Yato holding a lengthy conversation with a man falling off a building, and even exchanging business cards with him on the way down.
** [[BlackComedy And the reason the man was committing suicide was due to losing his job and being unable to face his girlfriend, who was Kofuku AKA the God of Poverty!]]

* Bubble era Yato.
** Two words: short shorts.

* Chapter 40 has Yato being his usual {{Troll}} self by revealing that Kazuma has hoarded pictures of Bishamon (as well as has been secretly helping Yato survive by helping out his various business ventures). Yukine realizes this is the first time he has seen Kazuma so flustered, and uses it to his advantage to try to beat Kazuma in a training exercise by encouraging Yato to continue to piss him off.

* In chapter 74, Hiyori and Yato decide to celebrate the day they met Yukine as his birthday. They end up going with his plan, a flash mob.
** To elaborate, it's made funnier by the fact that Takemikazuchi and Kiun, typically a BloodKnight and TheStoic respectively, take part in it, all while Hiyori wears her old uniform (complete with Yato commenting how much she fills it out now).

--> ''Daikoku'': This Yatogami's cult is turning into a real dark operation...

--> ''Yato'': Don't you look at me that way.

** When the client, Mutsumi is asking why everyone hates her. Yato just comments that using her name to describe herself instead of "I" is pretty arrogant.
** When Yato is asking for his fee. He puts up 5 fingers, Mutsumi thinks that it's a like 5 thousand, or 5 hundred thousand. Yato gets mad and says it's about 5 Yen(about 5 cents)

-->'''Yato:''' ''[to Hiyori and Yukine]'' Be careful. Don't look that guy in the eyes.
-->'''Hiyori and Yukine:''' Huh?
-->'''Yato:''' Doing that can be dangerous. You might never get away. Despite his tough exterior... ''he has a thing for kids like you!''
-->''[Hiyori and Yukine whimper in horror.]''
-->'''Daikoku:''' '''''DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT! YOU MAKE ME SOUND SIIIIICK!'''''
-->''[Daikoku is so pissed, he [[ATwinkleInTheSky kicks Yato into orbit]].]''

Although many parts of Noragami are serious and grave (it's eternal matters, after all...), there is still enough lighthearted and funny moments to prevent to from being too solemn:

* Yato holding a lengthy conversation with a man falling off a building and even exchanging business cards with him on the way down.
** And the reason the man was committing suicide was due to losing his job and being unable to face his girlfriend[[spoiler: who was Kofuku AKA the God of Poverty!]]

* Chapter 25...oh dear. The biggest CMOF in the series without a doubt. Yato possesses Hiyori's body and causes mayhem and humiliation around the school, running around, deliberately causing panty shots, hitting on random guys and teachers, and saying weird things in order to advertise himself. Then he saves Hiyori's reputation with a crowning moment of ''awesome'' by saving a student from falling from a third-story window.
** Made funnier by the fact that it becomes a RunningGag that all the males at school seem to think Hiyori will "service" them for one reason or another through the rest of the manga to this point...well, at least until [[spoiler:the hospital incident]].

* The reason Kofuku made Daikoku her shinki, [[spoiler:because he was hot]].

* Chapter 39, [[spoiler: the reincarnated Ebisu]] cheerfully calls Bishamon "Pervy-san" (or "Ms. Crazy Chick" in the anime), believing that was her real name, thanks to Yato's less than pleasing influence.
* Chapter 40 has Yato being his usual {{Troll}} self by revealing that Kazuma has hoarded pictures of Bishamon (as well as has been secretly helping Yato survive by helping out his various business ventures). Yukine realizes this is the first time he has seen Kazuma so flustered and uses it to his advantage to try to beat Kazuma in a training exercise by encouraging Yato to continue to piss him off.
** During all of this, [[MsFanservice Bishamon]] was actually rather nonchalant about learning these facts. Until [[spoiler: the child Ebisu]] comments "I can see a naked Pervy-san" in one of the doujinshi that Yato drew, causing her to beat up both Yato and Kazuma.

** The Rookie of the Year Award, going to the newly christened God of Fortune, [[spoiler: Tama the Stationmaster.]]

* The third OVA where a desperate, jaded author [[spoiler:tries going on a killing spree in a ski resort so that he can write a book about it in prison and become famous. However, he makes a big mistake in trying to make Yato his first victim, as due to Yato's godhood, killing him through normal means is impossible. After multiple failed murder attempts (including bludgeoning, poisoning, and setting him on fire), Yato ends up inspiring the author to keep trying to write ''without'' committing a crime to do so, and the author decides to write a book about Yato.... that immediately makes the publisher he submitted the book to question his sanity, as he claims it to be non-fiction]].

** At the night parade and fireworks, Kofuku calls on Daikoku to kill a cockroach that startles her. All hell breaks loose as Kofuku panics about the open vent and Daikoku just Facepalms.

* Chapter 41 rivals chapter 25 when Yato, Yukine and Hiyori finally go to Capyerland together. Hiyori constantly trying to keep Yato from finding out Capyers aren't real, Yukine becoming happy go lucky like Yato when the Capyer's notice him, Yato's overall antics to make Hiyori happy for it all to end in disaster when Kofuku and Daikoku show up on the rides.

The first problem with his plan is that he tries to make Yato his first victim that due to godhood, makes it impossible. After multiple murder attempts, Yato inspires him to keep trying to write and the author writes a book about him.... that immediately makes the publisher he submitted the book to question his sanity, as he claims it to be non-fiction]].

*** What's even funnier is the type of men Hiyori gets attached to: The first is a middle-aged gambler, the second is a homeless hippy, the third is a guy is a gullible cultist, and then she gets attached to the gambler ''again''. Yato wails in distress that Hiyori has horrible taste, while Yukine notices that all these men [[ShipTease suspiciously seem to have traits that can also refer to Yato]].

** During the celebration, the Shinto Pantheon participates in a matchmaking ceremony in which they choose people's soulmates. Guess what happens when they come across Hiyori's string? Yato uses Yukine to cut it, much to the latter's chagrin. The thread attaches itself to another man, and when Yato and Yukine notice that it's not a very attractive man, it gets cut again. This time Yukine has no arguments. This happens multiple times.

* Kuraha gets the short end of the stick by being used as target practice for Yukiné, threatened to be shaved, Bishamon dressing up as a lion in an omake, etc.

* In chapter 74, Hiyori and Yato decide to celebrate the day they met Yukine as his birthday. They end up going with his plan, a flash mob.

-->''[Cut to Hiyori and Yukine's horrified expressions, and Daikoku's pissed off expression.]''

-->''[Daikoku is so pissed, he literally ''kicks Yato'' into the sky.]''

* The omakes where Yato's father trolls him by pretending to be Hiyori. They always end with Yato in a rage and in tears (much to Yukine's annoyance).
