History Funny / RebuildOfEvangelion

* Shinji and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqhLsnag8Eg&fmt=18 Asuka discovering Pen-Pen in the shower]]. Complete with straws and toothpicks.

** Some translations make her say [[spoiler:"Besides, I'm curious to see what will happen once the final Angel is destroyed."]], which makes the scene less funny and more ominous.
* The last line of the trailer for ''2.0'': [[spoiler:"Oh, and lots of fanservice!"]]

** Kaji's idea of a date: [[spoiler:tending watermelons.]] No wonder Misato warned that Kaji is nothing but bad news...

* A bit off narm here, but [[spoiler:the name Wille (wrongly pronounced Will-y) can be stupidly hysterical if it catches you off guard.]] It doesn't help that under the logo, there's a big white paint splotch to go with it.
** This being another case of GratuitousGerman, it should actually be pronounced more like [[spoiler:Willeh (like the Japanese exclamation "eh?")]], it just comes off as funny that Japanese organisations keep insisting on using words they can't pronounce correctly.

* Shinji, having done a great deal of soul-searching and finally recovering some of the person he was before the events of ''2.0'', announces to Asuka that he wants to return to Wunder with her. Asuka replies with, "Fine. Here are the rules." and then from seemingly out of nowhere draws a taser pistol and zaps Shinji, knocking him flat out and completely ruining what would have been a very dramatic reunion. Also, Kensuke [[PassThePopcorn filmed the entire thing]].

'''Sakura:''' ''[[[ArmorPiercingSlap slaps him in the face]]]'' I said "don't pilot anymore Evas", but you ran away and did just that! [[WhatTheHellHero You jerk! You absolute jerk!]] [[BigStupidDoodooHead You're a jerk, Mr Ikari!]] ''[[[CryIntoChest breaks down crying into him]]]''\\

* Mari's comment about the 12th angel, near the end of ''3.33'': "Besides, after defeating the last angel we don't know what kind of evil could appear. Are you not worried?". It's hilarious on a meta level, given how ridiculously elaborated the apocaypses can get in this franchise.

** The other guys in the control room are like "What the *** did I just hear?" And their faces are priceless!

* There are some [[BlackComedy dark humor]] going on in ''3.0+1.0'' when the film paints the grew-up Kensuke and Toji as someone ''more sane'' than the pilot trio.

* This is more of a roll-your-eyes than a laugh-out-loud moment, but pay attention to Kensuke's driving when Shinji is in his car. Despite living in the AfterTheEnd world of following the Near Third Impact and driving one of the few if not the one running car in their DomedHometown with no other people remotely close to where they are, Kensuke still uses his turn signals and makes a full stop before turning left at an intersection.

* Final battle between Shinji and Gendo culminating in two [=EVAs=] battling inside... [[{{Bizarrchitecture}} school classroom]]? [[ScifiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale Over the dining table inside Misato's old place]]? [[IndecisiveMedium On a filming set]] with [[{{Toku}} Tokyo-3 building casually flung around]] [[PeopleInRubberSuits by the actors like cardboard boxes]]? BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind alright.
