'''The Doctor:''' And you really think that'd be enough to stop me?\\

'''The Doctor:''' ... tell me you're joking.\\

*** Specifically, he does this after Shinji asks him for advice on how to talk to her. It takes the Doctor a while to realise Shinji meant "How do I talk to a girl I have a crush on", rather than Shinji being afraid of what Rei is. All the while, the Doctor is trying to figure out what something he missed/forgot was, only to realise that it was the whole "Rei is Shinji's sister" ''after'' he realises Shinji has a crush on her. Shinji asks for some time in the [[BrainBleach Zero Room]][[note]]A room in the TARDIS that is designed to assist with neurological healing, normal healing, and difficult regenerations[[/note]].

** Before ending up in Leliel, he's complaining that it's shown up during his regularly scheduled "Crazy Day," resulting in Misato having to repeatedly tell him to [[MemeticMutation "Get in the damned robot!"]].

** Waves at the Angel, then when Misato yells at him and tells him to stop, he [[FlippingTheBird flips it off]]. [[DoNotTauntCthulhu It's not]] [[{{Understatement}} his brightest idea]]

'''Gendo:''' ([[WorthyOpponent I'd be disappointed if it did.]])

''Beat, techs glance at each other''\\

* In Episode 8, after defeating the Angels, Shinji and Asuka are arguing in an elevator, when Rei walks in

Despite being more than five hundred meters away from the descending elevator car, the acoustic sensors at the midway point clearly picked up the distinct sound of [[ArmorPiercingSlap a slap]]

-->'''Gendo:''' ''([[OutOfCharacterMoment cheerfully]])'' NERV thanks you for your assistance with this matter, Doctor. If you enter this base again without my express permission, [[BlackComedy I do believe I shall have you shot]]\\

'''Gendo:''' I'd be disappointed if it did.

* The Doctor has administrative access to all of NERV's computer systems. He got this by [[ItMakesSenseInContext flirting with one of their AIs]]

--> ''Shinji Ikari stared into the void. Whether or not it stared back at him, he couldn't tell''\\

'''The Doctor:''' ... tell me you're joking\\
'''Tech:''' They've... already printed out the labels

* Shinji's scenes in Episode 11 tend to range from hilarious to NightmareFuel to CrowningMomentOfAwesome:

* In Episode 13, Misato [[{{Squee}} squees]] when she sees that Shinji has started to dress up like The Doctor

-->'''Rei:'''([[QuizzicalTilt tilting her head]]) I'm... not quite certain how to interpret these sorts of things. Is it intended as an affectionate gesture?\\

-->'''Gendo:''' ''([[OutOfCharacterMoment Cheerfully]])'' NERV thanks you for your assistance with this matter, Doctor. If you enter this base again without my express permission, [[BlackComedy I do believe I shall have you shot]]\\

** Even later, Rei believes that Shinji hates her for her heritage. The Doctor explains that, in fact, his avoidance is actually due to the human incest taboo. Rei [[PullTheThread briefly ponders what this has to do with the situation]], then upon figuring it out, discovers a new emotion: awkwardness. She doesn't like it.

'''Shinji:''' [[ShoutOut I wasn't even]] [[Film/Clerks supposed to be here today!]]

--> ''Shinji Ikari stared into the void. Whether or not it stared back at him, he couldn't tell''

*** When Leliel!Shinji tries to get him to admit that he cares about what Gendo thinks of him, Shinji agrees, but points out that it's a bit weird he didn't tell Shinji about Rei. [[EveryoneHasStandards Leliel!Shinji admits]] that that is pretty screwed up, and Shinji wonders if Gendo was "''trying'' to set up a [[Franchise/StarWars Luke-and-Leia]] [[SurpriseIncest situation]]".

'''Leliel!Shinji:''' [[ImplausibleDeniability What was what?]]
