* One of the technicians at the Shinohara Plant sees Gotoh [[TemptingFate nosing around the AV-98's simulator]] and asks if he wants to take it for a spin, so he does. [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/patlabor/c001/138.html Big mistake.]]

* There are several when Noa and Asuma are first assigned to each other:

* When Noa and Asuma are first assigned to each other, Gotoh assigns Asuma to the command position, then asks if he understands why. Asuma answers it's because [[DeadpanSnarker he's smarter]] [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/patlabor/c001/178.html than Noa!]]

-->'''*Noa and Asuma laugh their asses off*'''

* While en route to their first assignment, Ota asks Gotoh why they can't simply engage the criminals they're after, rather than herding them towards the designated target area at Ueno Park.

** [[DownerEnding The conclusion]]: [[spoiler: they're all still trapped in the sewers, their backs pressed against the door, with the crocs right outside, trying to get in!!]]

** Asuma's epic [[FacePlant faceplant]] at the end of the downhill segment, which ends with everyone hanging onto his legs for dear life, with [[spoiler: the crocs waiting directly below with their gaping maws open!]] ...then the pipe gives way, leading to....

* The entirety of episode 13: "The Dungeon Again", which is a follow up to "Mystery Tour", the 38th episode of the previous series. And, like its predecessor, it's the second half contains the funniest scenes; perhaps in the entire series! The highlights include:

* The episode where everyone gets plastered between : Asuma and Ohta's fight, Shinshi's rambling, and the drinking competition between [[BottleFairy Noa and Kanuka]].

** Noa and Asuma end up having to share a hotel room while on assignment. [[AllMenArePerverts This clearly doesn't sit well with her]], and frets over it in the furo. So she waits until she thinks Asuma's asleep before entering the room to turn in. When he "awakes" and creeps toward her futon, she's clearly expecting to be groped and [[ThanksForTheMammory braces herself for the inevitable...]] except he completely ignores her and goes for her snack bag, causing Noa to become outraged and clock him!

** What makes this funnier is the ambiguity of whether she was upset over Asuma raiding her bag, or indignant that he'd choose snack food over her!
