History Narm / Gundam

* The obscure FMV game ''Gundam 0079: The War For Earth'' is so much of this its a wonder it tends to get passed over for ''G-Saviour''. Everything from the actor playing Char Aznable havinga very prominent chin to the Gundam Tank (Gundam with Guntank's treads) to the Gundam [[AdaptationalWimp now being so weak it could easily be taken out by proximity mines.]] The best part is the English voice track's noteworthy pronunciation of "Zeon" as "John". Sure its in line with the Japanese audio track but lets face it, everyone's saying "john."

* Duke Durmail looks like the bastard child of UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington and Colonel Sanders. Everyone else from the Romefeller Foundation looks like they just came from a Society for Creative Anachronisms convention.

* One shot has Treize enjoying a nice rose bath...except the water itself is drawn so OffModel and bubbly that it instead looks as if he's bathing in popcorn. What a guy.

** Kamille for almost no reason (Jerid was surprised that Kamille was a boy because of his name) decides to take on about five Titans, screams [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall "I'M A MAN"]], proceeds to get his ass kicked, and ends up unconscious when Jerid lightly taps Kamille's forehead with a kick.
** Another exaggerated scene involves Kamille punching Quattro while screaming about his adultophobia. The focus changes to a extreme close up of Quattro's face with the hair blowing and shedding tears.

** Bask Ohm. The guy has no motivation mentioned InUniverse for any of the atrocities he commits, and he wears Swimming Goggles at all times.
** Kamille's idea of snapping Emma out of her HeroicBSOD after [[spoiler:Katz, Captain Heinken and the Radish crew are killed]] involves [[NiceJobBreakingItHero opening his helmet while in outer space.]]
** Paptimus Scirocco's death involves him being pierced by Zeta Gundam in the chest making a huge derp face as blue fire surrounds him. This scene has been [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rTrIiZQyyE renade several times in Japanese]] giving us instances in which it appears [[Creator/BinShimada the actor]] was victim of a GroinAttack. Interestingly, in all of these Scirocco is still talking and remembers he has the power to [[spoiler:mindrape Kamille]] at the last second.

*** [[MemeticMutation ...with the help of KIYOJIII!!]]
* Master Asia's ''horse'' has its own mobile suit.

* Applicable to the original Japanese-language versions of both ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'': Kira Yamato's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWjfbUfcJUM soul-rending attempts at crying]], which produce a sound that words cannot describe, though the top-rated [=YouTube=] comment on that video has best described it (to the best of mankind's ability, anyways) as the voice of '''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'''. It's seriously wince-inducing. Creator/TomKenny crying impressions seem to be a problem with Creator/SoichiroHoshi in general, since it's also present in his work as Keiichi in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''.

* In the HD Remastered version, Nicol Amalfi's death was changed to an accident, where [[TheDogShotFirst he RUNS INTO STRIKE'S BLADE AND DIES.]] You heard that, he ''RUNS INTO STRIKE'S BLADE'', unlike the original, where Kira swings at Nicol in self-defense.

** What makes this part [[HilariousInHindsight even funnier]] currently, is that Creator/KenichiSuzumura and Creator/MaayaSakamoto, Shinn's and Luna's [=VAs=], respectively, have married in real life in 2011.

** Kamille for almost no reason (Jerid was surprised that Kamille was a boy because of his name) decides to take on about five Titans, screams [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall "I'M A MAN"]], proceeds to get his ass kicked, and ends up unconscious when Jerid lightly taps Kammile's forehead with a kick.

** Char Aznable's PaperThinDisguise. Did Char really think that calling himself Quattro and wearing '80s sunglasses was going to fool anyone into thinking that the AEUG's AcePilot was not the famed Red Comet?

** Quattro Vagina, er, Bajeena. [[UnfortunateNames What the HELL was Tomino thinking?]]

* ''Film/GSaviour'' is already an awful movie, but check out [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZQ9vWgAYJo the battle of Side 8]]. Even without the "awful non action scenes", it's still pretty narmy.

* Asia's ''horse'' has its own mobile suit.

* Duke Durmail looks like the bastard child of George Washington and Colonel Sanders. Everyone else from the Romefeller Foundation looks like they just came from a Society for Creative Anachronisms convention.

* ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' brings us Garrod Ran, the boy who says, "TIFFA! I BELIEVE IN GOD!" Not a bad line, given the context; but the voice acting is so hilariously overexuberant that it inspires laughter.

* The subplots between Tieria and Veda are narm. There is an entire subplot in which Tieria tries to [[PinocchioSyndrome become more human]]; a second subplot is Tieria treating the supercomputer like a lost lover who's been kidnapped. Imagine if Creator/{{Sunrise}} made a subplot between Nina from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' and the Table.

* In episode 23 of the first season, the little robot's repeated cries of [[spoiler: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUe83vpiKC0 Lockon! LOCKON! Lockon! LOCKON]]!"]] ruined the tragedy of the scene.
** Speak for yourself; many people found the little robot's cries increased the drama as everyone slowly realised what had happened. [[NarmCharm C'mon, even Haro is sad!]]

The Franchise/{{Gundam}} multiverse has been [[LongRunner running for many years,]] with many, many series. And it deals with serious themes of philosophy and politics, all with animated mechas. It stands to reason that things will go [[{{Narm}} hilariously wrong]] from time to time...

* [[spoiler: Girard's death. It would have been a lot better, since she had all the [[AttackDrone Attack Drones]] of the characters, if she was not shot down by the AGE-1, OF ALL THINGS.]]
* [[spoiler: The destruction of Leil's green Ghiranga and Fram's Fawnfarsia. Not the pilot's deaths, but the destruction of their mobile suits from Obright. Yeah, the fact that a mook unit takes out two [=AceCustoms=] ''in roughly 2 minutes'' can turn a serious fight to a laughable one.]]
* [[spoiler: Can we count the Gundam Legilis's destruction too? A NEW AND ORIGINAL GUNDAM GETS RIPPED TO SHREDS 40 SECONDS INTO THE BATTLE BY A 20-40ish? MOBILE SUIT.]]
* [[spoiler: Zeheart's VillainousBreakdown. Considering who voices him, one may expected him to yell the following: "I'M IN DESPAIR! THE FACT THAT MY OWN INCOMPETANT SUBORDINATES WERE KILLED BY MY STUPID ORDERS HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR!"]]

----
<<|{{Narm}}|>>

** The sheer number of times people start spontaneously beating each other in this show. Seriously, it's like punching people replaced a simple "hello" somewhere along the line.

** Char Aznable's PaperThinDisguise. Did Char really think that calling himself Quatro and wearing '80s sunglasses was going to fool anyone into thinking that the AEUG's AcePilot was not the famed Red Comet?

** In the first episode, Amuro drops everything he's doing to lie down and read the Gundam's operating manual...in the middle of a battlefield.

* Char is into little girls. At least that's what the English dub of the movie tells us.
* Anime/AfterWarGundamX brings us Garrod Ran, the boy who says, "TIFFA! I BELIEVE IN GOD!" Not a bad line, given the context; but the voice acting is so hilariously overexuberant that it inspires laughter.
** Also, when firing off his {{BFG}} (pick either version of the Satellite Cannon), he screams the word "HA SHAAAAA!!!!!" in a hilariously high-pitched voice.

* "'''I WILL BECOME''' '''''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam SUPER ASIA!!!]]'''''".

*** [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]] is just one big awesome NarmCharm.

** Asia's ''horse'' has its own mobile suit.
** Most of the Gundams look like bizarre stereotypes. Neo Mexico may be the worst. It's piloted by a guy named Chico, wears a sombrero, has a mustache, is apparently part cactus, and is named ''Tequila Gundam''.
*** The Neo American Gundam can take its "Shirt" off. If that's not bad enough, it has built in ''pecs and abs''. Which make it look like a gorilla.
** And finally, just to show that G Gundam doesn't fuck around when it comes to its narm, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fUJ6LehQ3I this is how the last battle ends]]''.

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWQYvYnZ2OY Here you go]].
*** Made even better by Soma telling Allelujah multiple times, in very clear terms, that her name is ''not'' Marie, only to be answered with "Marie..."
** The subplots between Tieria and Veda are narm. There is an entire subplot in which Tieria tries to [[PinocchioSyndrome become more human]]; a second subplot is Tieria treating the supercomputer like a lost lover who's been kidnapped. Imagine if Creator/{{Sunrise}} made a subplot between Nina from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' and the Table.
*** This series does badly with relationships. Not only is Marie/Soma and Allelujah narm, but so also are [[CargoShip Setsuna and his Gundam,]] Lockon and Anew, and Billy and Sumeragi. The creators of ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' and ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' would {{Facepalm}} if they saw how poorly 00 does in the romance department.
** "[[GratuitousEnglish You have control]] [[VerbalTic desu]]!" from episode six of the second season made a fairly serious Gundam launch ''hilarious''. Allelujah's follow-up, 'I HAVE CONTROL,' didn't help.
*** Ironically, a real pilot would say "I have control" or words to that effect to confirm that catapult control belonged to them. Then again, it's usually in their ''own'' language, and Allelujah spoke in GratuitousEnglish....
** [[spoiler: Ribbons]] and his group are SeriousBusiness, yeah. But their ''[[FashionVictimVillain fashion sense]]''? Not so much. Come ON, you guys... ''pastels and chest windows''? And what was [[spoiler: Ribbons]] wearing in [[spoiler: the party]]? Nice frills! And then there's [[spoiler: Hilling Care]] in a tux...
** With names like the ones the Innovators possess, it becomes that much harder to take them seriously (try saying "FUCKING RIBBONS!" with a straight face).
*** Revive Revival is a particular offender. You'd really think they had someone on the production team who spoke English, because their names ''are'', for the most, part real words. The fact that they made such goofy names for these guys is just beyond me.
*** [[BlindIdiotTranslation Bring]] [[MundaneMadeAwesome stabity]].
*** Anew Returner. Seriously, is there anyone, ''anyone'' named Anew?![[note]]It ''might'' work if her name was something like Amelia New Returner, and she was using the first name's initial. But it's not, and she's not.[[/note]]
** Speaking of Anew, Lockon's IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight [[spoiler:against her]] in Episode 45. There are quite a few perfectly reasonable, acceptable ways to try [[spoiler:save your BrainwashedAndCrazy girl.]] Tearing off her mobile suit's chest armor while screaming "I'LL MAKE YOU MY WOMAN AGAIN!"? Yeah, that's only going to spark unintentional laughter, not to mention cries of UnfortunateImplications... A simple but heartfelt "You're coming back home with me" would have been good enough, dude!
** Episode 14 has visual narm. After Setsuna is shot by Ali and tries to fight him off while wounded, the attempts to make him look like he's in pain only make Setsuna look like he's tripping balls.
** The clone army [[spoiler:of Bring Stability and the other guy]], because there's nothing funnier than a clone army of {{jobber}}s all standing around.
*** Pity. If Ribbons had created a clone army of Ali, then that would have pushed the HolyShitQuotient of the show through the roof, both for the audience and InUniverse. But no...
*** Then again, cloning someone like [[BloodKnight Ali]] [[ForTheEvulz Al Saachez]] probably isn't [[TheStarscream the wisest thing to do]].
*** That's what genetic engineering to make them all loyal to you is for. (Hey, it worked for [[StarWars Palpatine!]])
** The very OffModel and even ''smiley'' face Ribbons makes after getting a [[spoiler:bullet to the head]].
** In episode 23 of the first season, the little robot's repeated cries of [[spoiler: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUe83vpiKC0 Lockon! LOCKON! Lockon! LOCKON]]!"]] ruined the tragedy of the scene.
*** Speak for yourself; many people found the little robot's cries increased the drama as everyone slowly realised what had happened. [[NarmCharm C'mon, even Haro is sad!]]
** The Pixie Dust scene near the end of season two which solves the mental problems of several characters, primarily because only Louise had a difficult problem. The other two have ridiculous problems that could have been solved by just talking it out. One of them is nothing more than Sergei never explaining his actions to his son. Using Pixie Dust to solve that is overkill bordering on KarmaHoudini.
** Graham Aker's transformation into Mr. Bushido, in which he wears a ridiculous samurai outfit that wouldn't be out-of-place in ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]'', sadly this is played entirely straight, without any tongue in cheek scenes.
*** That's only true in the first season. When Billy meets Graham for the first time in season 2, Billy points out how everyone calls Graham Mr. Bushido now. Graham replies, "It's just the name they've given me, to be honest it's quite bothersome". So, while they don't show it, everyone does seem to consider Mr. Bushido a skilled pilot with a ridiculous outfit and persona.
** Graham gets crazier over time. The [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation more generous interpretation of this]] is it being a {{Deconstruction}} -- "the guy who acts like a [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]] character is a madman". If this is true, then everything before was on purpose; if not, then we may have CharacterDerailment.
** At the end of episode 18 of the second season, everyone is calling out people important to them. Then we get [[CargoShip Tieria's and Setsuna]]'s calls...
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdXqO9x8uF0&list=ELjtPZX2OgSa8#t=21m55s The scene in all its glory]]
** Speaking of dear Setsuna... He would like you to know that "He is Gundam." except when "He is not Gundam."
*** Worse is when in the dub he says "I am...Gundam." The problem is that he's voiced by Brad Swalie, so most likely what you'll be hearing in your mind instead is [[Manga/DeathNote "I am...Kira!"]]
*** Which is doubly ironic, given that he's voiced by Creator/MamoruMiyano in Japanese as well...
*** Which also makes any scene in both languages where Setsuna claims there is no god hilarious considering that the last person their VA's played never stopped proclaiming themselves god.
*** Although if you were introduced to Mamoru as a VA [[Franchise/UltramanZero through different means]], you're probably gonna think Setsuna is claiming that he's [[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch]][[note]]Don't see it? Ultraman Zero introduces himself to Ultraman Belial by saying "Zero! Ore no na ha Zero!"[[/note]]. Although given that ''Awakening of the Trailblazer'' seems to be a mainstay in the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' games, [[HilariousInHindsight this could actually happen]] in a future game if they include ''Code Geass'' in another game and recreate the "IAmSpartacus" scene from the latter series.
** The scene where the Gundam Meisters all take off while saying the names of their loved ones. Setsuna says [[CargoShip "Gundam."]]
** One episode of the English dub had Daryl Dodge screaming "YOU DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!" at another character; if memory serves, it was Patrick. The delivery of the line broke the emotional tension.
*** Daryl is full of unintentional humor in the English dub because Creator/ScottMcNeil (his English VA, who also voices Ali-Al Sacheez) gives him a hilariously bad stereotypical black guy voice. For the record, Creator/ScottMcNeil is a white man from Australia.
** Allelujah's transformation into Hallelujah during episode 5, complete with his hair flipping sides by itself and over-the-top screaming.
*** One fansub translated Alle's warning around this time as [[AccidentalInnuendo "Never come inside me without permission!"]]. Yeah.
** Honestly, it's kind of hard to take a lot of scenes seriously when suddenly the female characters' breasts take up the whole screen. Especially [[MsFanservice Sumeragi]] and her, um, [[{{Stripperific}} "outfits."]]
** Wait, we haven't mentioned the memorable second season scene in which [[spoiler: Allelujah]] is shown in a straitjacket and with a face mask on? [[SilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lector]] vibes, people?
** And what about Marina's song? It was supposed to be very dramatic and heart warming, but its {{Anvilicious}} lyrics and obnoxious singing from children just made most people laugh at the song and/or turn down the volume. [[spoiler:On top of that, it prevented Setsuna from finishing Ali Al-Saachez, something that could've saved Celestial Being a lot of grief.]]
* [[spoiler: Katz's]] death in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]'': death by asteroid pinball.
** Kamille crying... can anybody [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rR97YTNUR8 watch this with a straight face]]?
** 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.
** The sheer number of times people start spontaneously beating each other in this show. Seriously, it's like punching people replaced a simple "hello" somewhere along the line.
---> BRIGHTO SLAPPU!
** Kamille for almost no reason (Jerid was surprised that Kamille was a boy because of his name) decides to take on about five Titans, screams [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall "I'M A MAN"]], proceeds to get his ass kicked, and ends up unconscious when Jerid lightly taps Kammile's forehead with a kick.
** Another exaggerated scene involves Kamille punching Quattro while screaming about his adultophobia. The focus changes to a extreme close up of Quattro's face with the hair blowing and shedding tears.
** Char Aznable's PaperThinDisguise. Did Char really think that calling himself Quatro and wearing '80s sunglasses was going to fool anyone into thinking that the AEUG's AcePilot was not the famed Red Comet?
*** This was so bad that ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'' parodied it: Athrun tried to disguise himself as "Alex Dino," but is found out ''very'' quickly because all he did was put on a pair of sunglasses.
*** Kai Shiden's letter revealing Char's true identity would have been a lot more poignant if not for this infamous phrase: ''Captain Quattro. [[MemeticMutation He is a CHAR.]]''
** Quattro Vagina, er, Bajeena. [[UnfortunateNames What the HELL was Tomino thinking?]]
** Bask Ohm. The guy has no motivation mentioned InUniverse for any of the atrocities he commits, and he wears Swimming Goggles at all times.
** Kamille's idea of snapping Emma out of her HeroicBSOD after [[spoiler:Katz, Captain Heinken and the Radish crew are killed]] involves [[NiceJobBreakingItHero opening his helmet while in outer space.]]
** Paptimus Scirocco's death involves him being pierced by Zeta Gundam in the chest making a huge derp face as blue fire sorrounds him. This scene has been [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rTrIiZQyyE renade several times in Japanese]] giving us instances in which it appears [[Creator/BinShimada the actor]] was victim of a GroinAttack. Interestingly, in all of these Scirocco is still talking and remembers he has the power to mindrape Kamille at the last second.
* General Septem from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'' has a hilariously awful dub voice that is scratchy and poorly acted.
** Septem is ejected out of a plane and then shot just in case he survives [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat falling out of a plane]].
** Here's a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtI0Aal3C6w sample]] of the greatness that is General Septem. One of the commentors put it best when they described it as the type of voice you would see in an AbridgedSeries.
--> "ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF ME, DAMN IT?!!"
** Also from the English Dub of ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'':
--> "NOOOO IT'S THE GUNNNNNDAAAAAM!"
** Really, it's the random characters in the background who get the best lines:
--> ''Peacemillion is about to crash into Libra'' "Engines one and three damaged! Now we don't have to turn them off! Alright, ''[[ChewingTheScenery HOW ABOUT SOME EXCITEMEEEEENNNT!]]''"
--> ''As the ship's bridge is being rocked by explosions'' "Lieutenant Colonel Lady Une! [[CaptainObvious Gundam still attacking on the ship!]]"
** One character is named Dr. J. It's nearly impossible to keep from chuckling through any conversation involving him.
** From the very first episode:
--> "No machine-gun for him!"
** The name "Mobile Doll".
** In one of the earlier episodes, it seems like almost every character adds 'in space' to almost everything they say.
** Duke Durmail looks like the bastard child of George Washington and Colonel Sanders. Everyone else from the Romefeller Foundation looks like they just came from a Society for Creative Anachronisms convention.
** "GET HIM WITH THE CANCER!"
* Every scene Stellar is in after she meets Shinn in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]''. The most hilarious is when she dances right off a cliff. When did it seem like a good idea to keep putting a PsychopathicManchild into a powerful giant robot?
** Speaking of which, this [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3v5p5fnDWM Youtube gem]] exposes just how narmtastic Shinn is, [[spoiler: especially during Stella's demise.]]
** Shinn and Lunamaria's hooking up, which takes place one episode after Shinn blew up a mecha with Athrun and ''Luna's sister'' still in it. Accepting or forgiving a man for killing your sister, when you know that she's a traitor, is one thing. Jumping into his arms is another.
*** As someone else on this very wiki said:
--> "Shinn, you killed my sis and boyfriend...HOLD ME!"
** What makes this part [[HilariousInHindsight even funnier]] currently, is that Creator/KenichiSuzumura and Creator/MaayaSakamoto, Shinn's and Luna's [=VAs=], respectively, have married in real life in 2011.
** Any scene with Shinn screaming for extended periods of time, including the mental breakdown scene where you basically go inside Shinn's head and see how screwed up he is, especially the Mayu message.
** 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...
--->'''Kira:''' ''"[[BigNo NOOO!!!]]"''
* Applicable to the original Japanese-language versions of both ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'': Kira Yamato's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWjfbUfcJUM soul-rending attempts at crying]], which produce a sound that words cannot describe. It's seriously wince-inducing. This seems to be a problem with Creator/SoichiroHoshi in general, since it's also present in his work as Keiichi in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''.
** There's a considerable difference between the crying from the ''VideoGame/GundamVsSeries'', he has less of a gargling pitch.
** It's toned down, but it's still hard to take seriously, and to avoid wincing over something that can easily be mistaken for gargling, gagging, and choking. It is especially jarring when he breaks down after a WIN.
** Sai tried to [[LoveMakesYouCrazy hijack the Strike]] [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment to no discernible end]]. Since he didn't know how to fly the thing, it fell over. The kicker was when it bellowed, "[[BigNo WHYYYYYYYYYY????]]"
** In the HD Remastered version, Nicol Amalfi's death was changed to an accident, where [[TheDogShotFirst he RUNS INTO STRIKE'S BLADE AND DIES.]] You heard that, he ''RUNS INTO STRIKE'S BLADE'', unlike the original, where Kira swings at Nicol in self-defense.
** The frequent LullDestruction caused by Haro bouncing around and exclaiming silly phrases in GratuitousEnglish.
** Just try saying the name ''Mu La Flaga'' with a straight face. You will utterly fail!
** [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/6/63/Djibril_KIA.png/revision/latest?cb=20140127025247 This]] shot of Djibril as he's getting vaporized.
** While [[spoiler: Meer's HeroicSacrifice for Lacus]] is a TearJerker for the most part, the first does this... weird sort-of mix between a pirouette and a spin right between [[spoiler: TakingTheBullet for the latter]] and then [[spoiler: collapsing on the ground]]. It makes the scene quite funnier than it should be.
** The MexicanStandoff during [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Destiny's]] finale. It starts with Kira and [[spoiler: Durandal]] arguing at gunpoint and escalates to five characters pointing their guns at each other before [[spoiler: Rey]] ''finally'' shoots [[spoiler: Durandal]].
* The name [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Full Frontal]] in the generally more serious UC setting. Try not to chuckle at the name: it's ''supposed'' to signify his favorite kind of attack... [[FullFrontalAssault no, not that kind!]]
** The hero's name is Banagher Links, which would make an awesome name for a golf course.
** Full Frontal also sports a curled mullet, which looks ridiculous in a sci-fi setting. How were we supposed to take this character seriously?
*** The show gives EightiesHair to everyone. Given how some scenes have a sense of weightlessness to them, this can get crazy for those bearing a massive 'do. Micott Bartsch has quickly risen to [[MemeticMutation meme status]] due to this.
** 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 Strider mode of the AGE-2. It's hardly [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam the]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed first]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny time]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 a Gundam]] has been able to transform into a fighter, but, unlike previous transformable Gundams, the AGE-2's head sticks out right on top. [[SarcasmMode Way to be subtle, Asemu.]]
** The reunion of Asemu, Zeheart and Romary in episode 24 thanks to bad writing. [[spoiler:When Zeheart offers to continue their friendship on the condition of Asemu abandoning the Earth Federal Forces, he rejects because he has nothing else in his life. Zeheart then pulls out his gun and says ''"If you're in the battlefield, I can't be myself."'' Add [[SanitySlippage Asemu looking like he's about to go]] [[DragonBall Super Saiyan]] and Romary cranking a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Nina Purpleton]], and you got one of the franchise's most unintentionally hilarious scenes yet.]]
** Zanald's and Ezelcant's pilot's suits make any moment involving them in mobile suits hard to take seriously.
*** Heck, ''any'' suit for Vagan MS pilots can spark unintentional laughter. Their bubble-shaped helmets and pants with codpieces define FashionVictimVillain.
** At one point during [[spoiler:the fight between the AGE-3 and the Gundam Legilis]], [[spoiler:Ezelcant]] gives off a face that makes it look like he was on drugs. It doesn't help that he fiddly shakes the controls at that point.
** [[spoiler: Girard's death. It would have been a lot better, since she had all the [[AttackDrone Attack Drones]] of the characters, if she was not shot down by the AGE-1, OF ALL THINGS.]]
** [[spoiler: The destruction of Leil's green Ghiranga and Fram's Fawnfarsia. Not the pilot's deaths, but the destruction of their mobile suits from Obright. Yeah, the fact that a mook unit takes out two [=AceCustoms=] ''in roughly 2 minutes'' can turn a serious fight to a laughable one.]]
*** [[spoiler: Can we count the Gundam Legilis's destruction too? A NEW AND ORIGINAL GUNDAM GETS RIPPED TO SHREDS 40 SECONDS INTO THE BATTLE BY A 20-40ish? MOBILE SUIT.]]
** [[spoiler: Zeheart's VillainousBreakdown. Considering who voices him, one may expected him to yell the following: "I'M IN DESPAIR! THE FACT THAT MY OWN INCOMPETANT SUBORDINATES WERE KILLED BY MY STUPID ORDERS HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR!"]]
* Because this show is DarkerAndEdgier, the unintentional humor in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'' is 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''. To make matters even worse, it's not even a particularly dark, tragic scene in-story - Uso is up against a bunch of bumbling bit-part villains, and manages to deal with them by non-lethally disabling their ride shortly afterwards. How did nobody realize how funny this was?
** [[spoiler:Cronicle]]'s death can be pretty funny, especially due to the camera angle. [[spoiler:"Maria..." *THUD*]]
** ValuesDissonance causes another big narm as well. The Zanscare military meetings become freaking ridiculous when you see [[FashionVictimVillain either grunts or commanders wearing these ridiculous old-fashioned wigs.]] We know, it's TheEmpire, and some also know it's a ShoutOut to formal professions like English judges and ''their'' wigs... but for some, ''it's still funny''.
* All of Setsuna's "I am Gundam!" really make it look like the kid has serious mental problems. They are also HilariousInHindsight due to Setsuna becoming a human sized Gundam in the movie finale.
* Every English dub for every Gundam series has Narm. This is because Sunrise uses Ocean Group for the dubbing.
* ''Film/GSaviour'' is already an awful movie, but check out [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZQ9vWgAYJo the battle of Side 8]]. Even without the "awful non action scenes", it's still pretty narmy.
** You'll either react with laughter or a FlatWhat upon learning that the {{mook}} CONSENT Mobile Suit is named "Bugu". No, really.
** The voice acting in the [=PS2=] game is either this or SoBadItsGood. At least it's much better than ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead 2'' or ''VideoGame/MegaManX4''.
** The G-Saviour's [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110601102361/gundam/images/c/c0/G-saviour-origin-la.jpg Origin Mode]].

*** Although if you were introduced to Mamoru as a VA [[Franchise/UltramanZero through different means]], you're probably gonna think Setsuna is claiming that he's [[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch]][[note]]Don't see it? Ultraman Zero introduces himself to Ultraman Belial by saying "Zero! Ore no na ha Zero!"[[/note]].

** In the English dub of the movies, nobody quite got the pronunciation of some names, so [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zXQYsYwmxo Amuro is the pilot of the Gundamn]] Also, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUOAXhokrt8 "Sha Znable"]].

** In the HD Remastered version, Nicol Amalfi's death was changed to an accident, [[TheDogShotFirst he RUNS INTO STRIKE'S BLADE AND DIES.]] You heard that, he ''RUNS INTO STRIKE'S BLADE'', unlike the original, where Kira swings at Nicol in self-defense.

** [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140127025247/gundam/images/6/63/Djibril_KIA.png Djibril's face]] when he meet his well-deserved demise.

** And we shall not forget that the Mobile Suit in which [[spoiler: Yurin gets stashed and then sent off to her death]] is... pink. [[CodeGeass "Hello kittymare"]], anyone?
** Also, the Strider mode of the AGE-2. It's hardly [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam the]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed first]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny time]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 a Gundam]] has been able to transform into a fighter, but, unlike previous transformable Gundams, the AGE-2's head sticks out right on top. [[SarcasmMode Way to be subtle, Asemu.]]
** Arguably, the reunion of Asemu, Zeheart and Romary in episode 24 thanks to bad writing. [[spoiler:When Zeheart offers to continue their friendship on the condition of Asemu abandoning the Earth Federal Forces, he rejects because he has nothing else in his life. Zeheart then pulls out his gun and says ''"If you're in the battlefield, I can't be myself."'' Add [[SanitySlippage Asemu looking like he's about to go]] [[DragonBall Super Saiyan]] and Romary cranking a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Nina Purpleton]], and you got one of the franchise's most unintentionally hilarious scenes yet.]]

*** Anew Returner. Seriously, is there anyone, ''anyone'' named Anew?![[note]]It ''might'' work if his name was something like Albert New Returner, and he was using the first name's initial. But it's not, and he's not.[[/note]]

** [[spoiler: Girard's death. It would have been alot better, since she had all the [[AttackDrone Attack Drones]] of the characters, if she was not shot down by the AGE-1, OF ALL THINGS.]]
** [[spoiler: The destruction of Leil's green Ghiranga and Fram's Fawnfarsia. Not the pilot's deaths, but the destruction of their mobile suits from Obright. Yeah, a mook unit takes out two AceCustoms in roughly 2 minutes can turn a serious fight to a laughable one.]]

** [[spoiler: Zeheart's VillainousBreakdown. Considering who voices him, one may expected him to yell, I'M IN DESPAIR! THE FACT THAT MY OWN INCOMPETANT SUBORDINATES WERE KILLED BY MY STUPID ORDERS HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR]]

* Every English dub for every Gundam series has Narm. This is because Sunrise uses Ocean Group for the dubbing, which is brings HeyItsThatVoice UpToEleven.

** The subplots between Tieria and Veda are narm. There is an entire subplot in which Tieria tries to [[PinocchioSyndrome become more human]]; a second subplot is Tieria treating the supercomputer like a lost lover who's been kidnapped. Imagine if {{Sunrise}} made a subplot between Nina from ''CodeGeass'' and the Table.
*** This series does badly with relationships. Not only is Marie/Soma and Allelujah narm, but so also are [[CargoShip Setsuna and his Gundam,]] Lockon and Anew, and Billy and Sumeragi. The creators of ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' and ''Anime/GurrenLagann'' would {{Facepalm}} if they saw how poorly 00 does in the romance department.

**** Then again, cloning someone like [[BloodKnight Ali]] [[ForTheEvulz Al Saachez]] probably isn't [[TheStarscream the wisest thing to do]].
***** That's what genetic engineering to make them all loyal to you is for. (Hey, it worked for [[StarWars Palpatine!]])

*** [[TwoWordsObviousTrope Two words]]: [[BlindIdiotTranslation Bring]]. [[MundaneMadeAwesome Stabity]].

** 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!

** The MexicanStandoff during [[Anime/GundamSeedDestiny Destiny's]] finale. It starts with Kira and [[spoiler: Durandal]] arguing at gunpoint and escalates to five characters pointing their guns at each other before [[spoiler: Rey]] ''finally'' shoots [[spoiler: Durandal]].

* Applicable to the original Japanese-language versions of both ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'': Kira Yamato's soul-rending attempts at crying, which produce a sound that words cannot describe. It's seriously wince-inducing. This seems to be a problem with Creator/SoichiroHoshi in general, since it's also present in his work as Keiichi in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''.

*** Which is doubly ironic, given that he's voiced by MamoruMiyano in Japanese as well...

*** Daryl is full of unintentional humor in the English dub because 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 Australia.

** Paptimus Scirocco's death involves him being pierced by Zeta Gundam in the chest making a huge derp face as blue fire sorrounds him. This scene has been [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rTrIiZQyyE renade several times in Japanese]] giving us instances in which it appears the actor was victim of a GroinAttack. Interestingly, in all of these Scirocco is still talking and remembers he has the power to mindrape Kamille at the last second.

** Sai tried to [[LoveMakesYouCrazy hijack the Strike]] BigLippedAlligatorMoment to no discernible end]]. Since he didn't know how to fly the thing, it fell over. The kicker was when it bellowed, "[[BigNo WHYYYYYYYYYY????]]"

* Every scene Stellar is in after she meets Shinn in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]''. The most hilarious is when she dances right off a cliff. When did it seem like a good idea to keep putting a retarded person into a powerful giant robot?

** Sai tried to [[LoveMakesYouCrazy hijack the Strike to no discernible end]]. Since he didn't know how to fly the thing, it fell over. The kicker was when it bellowed, "[[BigNo WHYYYYYYYYYY????]]"

** There's a considerable difference between the crying from the GundamVsSeries, he has less of a gargling pitch.

** In the HD Remastered version, [[TheDogShotFirst Nicol meet his end by RUNNING INTO KIRA'S BLADE.]] You heard that, he RUNS INTO KIRA'S BLADE, unlike the original, where Kira swings at Nicol in self-defense.

** [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140127025247/gundam/images/6/63/Djibril_KIA.png Djbril's face]] when he meet his well-deserved death.
