* Probably a YMMV instance, but Raleigh's "It's analog." line. There's fan theories about it relating to the power systems, but on the surface it MAKES NO SENSE! How is a gigantic robot analog? Does it run on vacuum tubes? Are there crews that we don't see working switchboards in the legs?

* As terrifying as Slattern may be, it becomes a bit of NightmareRetardant when you realize that 'slattern' is an older term used to refer to a dirty, sexually-prominscous woman. Basically, this is a giant monster named Whore.

** It's rather justified by the fact that the pilots mentally control their Jaegers, so the mech itself reflects their individual motions. That said, it would be hilarious if every single movement tic of the pilots was reflected by their Jaeger: just imagine a giant robot stretching or fidgeting its hands anxiously.

* The surprised expression on Leatherback's face when Gipsy is deployed right next to him. It's a mixture of confusion and a little bit of OhCrap.

* After getting tossed away by Otachi, Crimson Typhoon comically shakes its head, as if to clear itself from the throw. A surprisingly ''human'' reaction from a Jaeger.
** Well, the Jaegers are motion-controlled, so that was likely the pilots.
** Not to mention that the pilots are housed in the head module while it is shaking.

* Just before Raleigh is due to get back in Gipsy Danger and find out who his new co-pilot is, we see Mako watching him from her peep-hole, and being visibly disappointed when he stops just short of knocking on her door, only for her to enthusiastically brighten and smile when she hears someone knocking a few seconds later. The funny moment comes when she excitedly opens her door ... and comes face to face with Pentecost.

** They even went to a lot of trouble harvesting the ectoparasites and figuring out how to keep them alive. Nobody hints as to how these cat-sized bugs could possibly be worth money. Actually, the mere fact that Kaiju have the equivalent of ''fleas'' is pretty funny on its own.
