*** This series does badly with relationships. Not only is Marie/Soma and Allelujah narm, but so also are Graham and Gundam, Lockon and Anew, and Billy and Sumeragi. The creators of ''EurekaSeven'' and ''GurrenLagann'' would {{Facepalm}} if they saw how poorly 00 does in the romance department.

** A bit of dub-specific Narm. During the fight between Shinn and Kira, Shinn is charging the Freedom Gundam with a BFS. In the Japanese, Kira makes a noise that, while difficult to describe, could be called a verbal flinch (the subtitles translate it as "What!?" but it's hard to say if he's saying "nani" or just making a similar noise). In the dub, however...

** The English cast's difficulty in pronouncing mobile suit names is back in Unicorn, with such gems as "JAY-GAN" (Jegan), "RESEL" (ReZEL), and "SEE-NANE-JUU" (Sinanju). The only name they manage to pronounce right is Khsatriya's!
* Due to the show's DarkerAndEdgier tone, the unintentional humor in ''VictoryGundam'' seems even funnier. Of note is a scene in episode 23, wherein the mobile armor Sandhoge grabs hold of the Victory Gundam and begins bludgeoning it with one of its mechanical limbs. This would be fine, except the mobile armor is basically [[GroinAttack kicking the Victory in the crotch.]] We have [[http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab330/Enchanter468/VGundamCrotchShot.jpg this action]], repeated over and over, ''all while sad music is playing in the background''.

** One episode of the English dub had Daryl Dodge screaming 'you doooggggggg!' at another character; if memory serves, it was Patrick. The delivery of the line completely broke any sort of emotional tension it was supposed to hold, because this troper and her sister were practically doubled up laughing.
*** Daryl in general is full of unintentional humor in the English dub, as Scott McNeil (his English VA, who also voices Ali-Al Sacheez) gives him a hilariously bad stereotypical black guy voice. For the record, Scott McNeil is a white man from Austrailia.
** Allelujah's transformation into Hallelujah during episode 5, complete with his hair flipping sides by itself and over-the-top screaming--disregarding the fact that one fansub translated Alle's warning as [[AccidentalInnuendo "Never come inside me without permission!"]]. Yeah.

** Another Narmy moment in the series was when Kamille and Katz were away from their mobile suits during a fight in a city. Katz gets knocked over by a nearby explosion during the fight; the scream he makes while falling is so hilarious that it's hard to take the scene seriously.
