History Funny / TenchiMuyo

** When Ryoko fixes Mihoshi's SuperWristGadget, the ditz comments that as far as she knows, only SpacePolice and {{Space Pirate}}s are familiar with the technology... then asks if Ryoko is a jeweler. Cue Ryoko's brain breaking. Vengeance is hers, however; the gadget then detects Ryo-oh-ki, and when Mihoshi goes hunting, the furball eats her gun. Cue Mihoshi passing out and Ryoko laughing her head off.

** When Ryoko fixes Mihoshi's SuperWristGadget, the ditz comments that as far as she knows, only SpacePolice and {{Space Pirate}}s are familiar with the technology... then asks if Ryoko is a jeweler. Cue Ryoko's brain breaking. Vengeance is hers, however; the gadget then detects Ryo-oh-ki, and when Mihoshi goes hunting, the furball eats her gun. Cue Mihoshi passing out and Ryoko laughing her head off.

* Just about the entirety of the episode, but the ending deserves special mention. Ryoko and Ayeka attempt to get Tenchi all to themselves by sending Mihoshi back to Galaxy Police HQ and locking Washu in her lab, then setting up a trap on Tenchi's door that sends anyone who passes through it uninvited into the lake outside. However, Sasami defeats the trap by simply...knocking on the door and waiting for Tenchi to let her in, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent ignoring Ryoko and Ayeka's fighting]], telling Tenchi about [[NightmareFuel a really bad dream]] she just had. Ryoko and Ayeka can also hear Washu inside, so they try to rush in through the door, and get [[HoistByHisOwnPetard sent into the lake]]. To top off their HumiliationConga, Mihoshi returns from Galaxy Police HQ, and crashes her ship on top of them. Seeing as how Ryoko and Ayeka are both MadeOfIron, they naturally survive, but the looks on their faces just before the ship crashes are ''priceless''.

* Episode 8 has Washu reveal her past... then attempt to win Tenchi over using her rarely-used adult form!
** Ryoko starts changing Taro's diaper... then she starts poking his penis... [[CrossesTheLineTwice then he pees on her.]]
** Mihoshi trying to calm a crying Taro but when it doesn't work, Mihoshi starts crying like a baby herself. What's funnier is that when this happens the baby ''does'' stop crying and starts trying to console ''Mihoshi''.
** Tenchi getting a little overheated (in more ways than one) when he hears Mihoshi in the bath trying to tell Taro not to suckle from her breast.
** Also, when you finally figure out [[NoPeriodsPeriod why Sasami was inactive the entire episode.]]
** Ryoko and Ayeka's exhausted chants of diapers and milk, with the latter eventually drinking out of the baby's bottle.
** Washu bathes with Taro in the hot spring, then promptly screams when she sees that the baby let loose a turd in the water. She immediately drains out the water and hastily cleans up the area.
** Ryoko getting angry that her “mother” is trying to hit on Tenchi. Washu simply tells her it’s for Ryoko’s best interest since Washu is “offering to create a little brother for her to play with”, then promptly throws Ryoko into the lake.
* One part of episode 9 has Tenchi, Noboyuki and Katsuhito fixing up the roof of the hot springs they wrecked. Noboyuki accidentally smashes his thumb with his hammer, leading to Katsuhito chastising him... before smashing his own thumb. When Tenchi calls them boneheads, Katsuhito's able to distract Tenchi long enough to have him smash HIS thumb.

** The moment where Sasami runs towards and ''past'' Ayeka to hug Tenchi instead after she's been reassured about her situation.
** At the end of the episode, even Tsunami could not get a word in on a Ryoko[=/=]Ayeka argument. It's not often that you get to tell a goddess to shut up[=/=]stay out of this.

The OAV series ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' (not to mention the spinoffs and sequels), has plenty of moments.

* From episode 2:

-->'''Tenchi''': Huh? (''grabs his groin'') No way! They're mine, and I'm gonna hang on to them!

** Just the fact that after 700 years has gone by, Ayeka is awoken from stasis literally seconds from the moment when Ryoko's criminal record is purged by the Jurai statute of limitations. That Ryoko's mugshot is the kind of goofy portrait one would take in a photo booth, complete with victory sign, just makes it that much more hilarious.
** Ryoko's troll face as she takes both her own ship and Ayeka's on a course to crash into the planet.
* In episode 3:
** Ryoko pretending the egg is her and Tenchi's baby.
** When Tenchi calls out Ryoko for making Ayeka upset, Ryoko is touched by his "sweetness". She wraps herself around him, and grabbing his crotch.
** After Grandpa gropes her, Ryoko throws a punch, which he catches in his palm as easily as if she was a child. This naturally confuses her, considering she is capable of punching through concrete walls. This sets up a BrickJoke as, a minute later, there is a loud crash caused by her punching the staircase into scrap wood to test her power.
* In episode 4 (one of two {{Hot Springs Episode}}s), Noboyuki attempts to get Tenchi to peep on the girls. He's trying to be all sneaky and everything...until he looks up and sees Ryoko looking over nonchalantly and freaking Noboyuki out.
** Ayeka slowly steps into the water to sit with Tenchi, prompting jealous Ryoko to steal her towel.
** A few moments after that, Tenchi's broken away from the feuding Ryoko and Ayeka to recover, only to have Sasami spot him. Seeing his state, she only has one thing to say: "You're a ''naughty boy'', aren't you, Tenchi?"
** When feeling the demon, Ryoko and Ayeka split up at the former's suggestion. Ayeka momentarily catches up, angrily pointing out that Ryoko sent her down a dead end.
--->'''Ryoko''': Did I? What was I thinking?
* Kagato's teleporting onto Earth in episode 5...in the middle of the hot springs Ryoko, Ayeka, and Mihoshi are bathing in. In spite of the danger they are in, cue a flustered Mihoshi and Ayeka calling him a pervert and tossing random objects at the guy looking briefly dumbfounded at being ignored as an enemy threat.
** FunnyBackgroundEvent: When Mihoshi is comically bawling her eyes out, you can see Ryo-ohki patting her on the head.
** Also in episode 5, Mihoshi gets Ryo-Ohki (in her crystal form) drunk by giving her some sake, and in her drunken state, Ryo-Ohki was able to dodge the Soja's laser cannons.

** While trapped in the reflection world, Washu and Mihoshi could only view Ryoko's fight against Kagato. Mihoshi says they need to help, and Washu says there's only one way they can: cheerlead with folding fans.
** Tenchi's FailedAttemptAtDrama as he prepares to fight against Kagato, only to find his leg stuck while crossing dimensions. Now Washu gets worried.
** The aftermath of the SingleStrokeBattle between Tenchi and Kagato. Tenchi wins, but Kagato's spaceship Soja is ALSO cut in half.
* Just about the entirety of episode 7, but the ending deserves special mention. Ryoko and Ayeka attempt to get Tenchi all to themselves by sending Mihoshi back to Galaxy Police HQ and locking Washu in her lab, then setting up a trap on Tenchi's door that sends anyone who passes through it uninvited into the lake outside. However, Sasami defeats the trap by simply...knocking on the door and waiting for Tenchi to let her in, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent ignoring Ryoko and Ayeka's fighting]], telling Tenchi about [[NightmareFuel a really bad dream]] she just had. Ryoko and Ayeka can also hear Washu inside, so they try to rush in through the door, and get [[HoistByHisOwnPetard sent into the lake]]. To top off their HumiliationConga, Mihoshi returns from Galaxy Police HQ, and crashes her ship on top of them. Seeing as how Ryoko and Ayeka are both MadeOfIron, they naturally survive, but the looks on their faces just before the ship crashes are ''priceless''.

* The aftermath of the SingleStrokeBattle between Tenchi and Kagato. Tenchi wins, but Kagato's spaceship Soja is ALSO cut in half.

-->'''Tenchi:''' I'm giving these keys back to grandpa and do as many chores as he says!

-->'''Tenchi:''' I've just used the oldest trick in the book.

* In episode 3, when Tenchi calls out Ryoko for making Ayeka upset, Ryoko is touched by his "sweetness". She wraps herself around him, and grabbing his crotch.
* In episode 4 (one of two {{Hot Springs Episode}}s), Noboyuki attempts to get Tenchi to peep on the girls. He's trying to be all sneaky and everything... until he looks up and sees Ryoko looking over nonchalantly and freaking Noboyuki out.

* Kagato's teleporting onto Earth in episode 5... in the middle of the hot springs Ryoko, Ayeka and Mihoshi are bathing in. In spite of the danger they are in, cue a flustered Mihoshi and Ayeka calling him a pervert and tossing random objects at the guy looking briefly dumbfounded at being ignored as an enemy threat.
* The aftermath of the SingleStrokeBattle between Tenchi and Kagato. Tenchi wins however Kagato's spaceship Soja is ALSO cut in half as well.
* Just about the entirety of episode 7, but the ending deserves special mention. Ryoko and Ayeka attempt to get Tenchi all to themselves by sending Mihoshi back to Galaxy Police HQ and locking Washu in her lab, then setting up a trap on Tenchi's door that sends anyone who passes through it uninvited into the lake outside. However, Sasami defeats the trap by simply... knocking on the door and waiting for Tenchi to let her in, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent ignoring Ryoko and Ayeka's fighting]], telling Tenchi about [[NightmareFuel a really bad dream]] she just had.

To top off their HumiliationConga, Mihoshi returns from Galaxy Police HQ, and crashes her ship on top of them. Seeing as how Ryoko and Ayeka are both MadeOfIron, they naturally survive, but the looks on their faces just before the ship crashes are ''priceless''.

** At the end of the episode, even Tsunami could not get a word in on a Ryoko / Ayeka argument. It's not often that you get to tell a goddess to shut up / stay out of this.

* Ryo-Oki, the giant super... PINK ROBOT!

** Most of episode 13 qualifies, particularly everything after the Emperor of Jurai's arrival: The entire Royal Family (including Tenchi) seems to await his arrival with the appropriate amount of respect - until he does arrive: The Emperor is pretty much TheComicallySerious: his demands for his daughters to return with him to Jurai are ignored, particularly Ayeka due to her constant bickering with Ryoko over Tenchi. Even raising his voice didn't get Ayeka's attention. Even [[DaddysGirl Sasami]] said she'd never forgive him if she's made to leave Earth. Even Ryo-Okhi's dance in child form to him to make him happy has him initially utterly perplexed until the former starts crying. Funaho comforts Ryo-Ohki, while giving him a look that says "you're being a jerk". Really, the guy completely came off as the NoRespectGuy in that episode. Ironic given his status.

* In the manga chapter on Mihosi's driving lessons, a student driver and his teacher freak out and crash when they see Ryoko emerging from a traffic sign.

** Misaki shows up looking for Ayeka and Sasami. At first the ditz thinks Ryoko is Sasami with a hair job and stress lines in her eyes - cue hair- and cheek-pulling. When Sasami shows up Ryoko gets tossed aside with great force(WHAM!). When Ayeka shows up and indulges in silliness, Ryoko teases her - resulting in ''more'' hair- and cheek-pulling.
** Seiryo shows up to challenge Tenchi to a duel. All the harem backs Tenchi... except Washu, who thinks Mihoshi will win the duel. Everyone boggles until they hear a BombWhistle, upon which they all quickly raise umbrellas(and Sasami gives her dad one), just in time for Mihoshi to crash her ship into the lake for the nth time. Cue big splash and SissyVillain bobbing in the lake.

* A whole ''bunch'' of them [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWDy8DKkY2U here;]]
