** Any time Pain shows any emotion other than [[TheStoic his default one]], the most infamous example being [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/116/992/Naruto-quality-3.gif a series of frames]] where Pain proceeds to [[GroundPunch punch the ground beneath him with all his might]]. His face stretches and contorts to convey the sheer force, speed, and rage Pain puts into his attack, but it ends up looking ridiculously OffModel, not helped by how he visibly gains FlappingCheeks. Then there's Pain's {{Wangst}}-y, ''[[IncrediblyLamePun pain]]''fully punny line to Naruto as he does it:

Explanations here


* In Shippuden Episode 159, Choji's run to escape the last missile sent by Pain's Ashura Path is ridiculous.
* The second part of Sasuke's name is {{Narm}}y because it sounds like the word {{Uke}} which is the bottom in homosexual relationships.
** Sometimes when Naruto says or shouts Sasuke's name in the English dub, it sounds like "SAUCE GAY!"



* Shippuden Episode 166: Naruto's reaction to seeing Pain use his power to throw Hinata to the ground was hilarious [[http://i50.tinypic.com/in6a2a.jpg here]].
** Some people find [[http://i48.tinypic.com/27wwsif.jpg this]] scene, in which Hinata is crawling over to Naruto, funny because she looks like a dog sniffing the ground at first.



* Shippuden Episode 48, "Bonds", ends with a dramatic speech by Naruto in which he declares his determination to destroy Orochimaru. While admittedly a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, it becomes Narm Fuel for [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Monty Python fans]].
-->'''Naruto''': If he tears off my arms, I'll just kick him dead. If he tears off my legs, I'll bite him dead.
* Chapter 523 has [[spoiler:Kakashi telling his team what they should do to deal with Zabuza and several other members of Kabuto's "Zombie Army".]] But did Kishimoto ''really'' need to use Super Deformed for that? It completely killed the drama, damn it.
** The fact that there's a character named ''Santa''. WTF?
* [[spoiler: Konan's dying flashback about her former team and Jiraiya... all dressed and positioned like they're wearing the frog suit in [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 SMB3]].]] It kind of ruins the drama of the scene when they look like they're about to tackle a swimming level.
* The 4:54 point of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxYcPEr1kzE&feature=related this scene]], where Naruto's clones act as missiles. Notice how stretched out and fishlike their faces are.
* In 529: [[spoiler: the super-powered Ino-Shika-cho]] attack's name? [[http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/chapter-529/page017.html It's called "Meat Tank"]] Come ON, Kishi! You're not even trying!
** "Meat Tank" is actually the name of Chouji's jutsu, which he uses to turn into a giant ball. Still pretty narmy, though.



* Some of the dialogue in the last few volumes of the english manga has been... awkward. Especially the way everyone suddenly refers to their parents as "ma" and "pa". This makes for some serious Narm when Naruto [[spoiler: first meets his parents.]]
* Some think this about Sasuke's hairstyle which resembles a duck's ass.
* The 10th opening of Shippuden. Just... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VijSxQ27-mw the 10th opening of Shippuden.]]
** Partially justified as this particular opening happened during a twenty-episode long stretch of light-hearted {{filler}}.
*** But exceptionally narmy when placed alongside the flashback to the night the Kyuubi attacked.
* Naruto crying at [[spoiler: Gaara's death]]; it looked like he was crying crystals. Sparkly crystals.
** Also, Naruto's dramatic turning around and BigShutUp directed at Chiyo when the latter tells him to calm down following [[spoiler: Gaara's death]].
* When Sasuke meets Itachi the first time since the anime/manga started, he gives that speech. "In order to defeat you..." after which he charges up his Chidori. After powering up, though, he looks at Itachi, screams the last line of his speech, and his left hand pulls the collar of his shirt down. WHAT. THE. FREAK. That took much of the awesomeness out of what's otherwise a tense scene, since there is no reason as to why he'd want to do that. If it's to show his curse seal, that's on the back. This is just... odd.
* Naruto's [[spoiler:head butt]] move against Tobi in Chapter 563, while awesome, was hilarious with the shocked look on Tobi's face and the strained look on Naruto's face.
* When Tobi uses his teleportation power on Torune, it just looked wrong as Madara sneaked up on him from behind, leading to many "SURPRISE BUTTSECKS" jokes.



* That butt-bow that Sasuke (in Part II), Orochimaru, and his minions wear.
* Sasuke's EvilLaugh in Chapter 483/Shippuden Episode 214 is NarmCharm. It's hilarious mainly because it's ''[[TheComicallySerious Sasuke]]'' but it also shows how [[AxCrazy far gone he is]]. See it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35adqIEBj9Y here]]. Some of the comments on the video are pretty funny too like "Nothing says sanity like a psycho laugh after no one told a joke."
** Sasuke's EvilLaugh at the end of Part 1 and the way he threw his arms while doing it were ''incredibly'' forced on his part and hilarious. Naruto's vision in his monologue of him when it looks like Sasuke's jogging away from him might be kind of narmy too.
* "YOUR HEART IS MINE!!!" Seriously, as if this line from Kakuzu to Kakashi isn't enough, let's add some context: the former has the latter pinned to the ground with tentacles, is straddling him, and is about to literally rip his heart out to keep powering his immortality.
* [[http://media.photobucket.com/image/itachi%20crowjob/frozen_snake/STUFF/crowmouthrapage.jpg Itachi's crowjob.]]
* Chapter 486: Seeing [[TheStoic Sasuke]] say the word "fuck" in response to Naruto saying that they'll die together the next time they fight.
* That noise the Hachibi makes whenever he comes out to fight. "WHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"
* Naruto's MegatonPunch that makes a huge imprint in Sasuke's face and sends him flying through the air at the Valley of the End fight.



* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0YElC_8wlQ Behold]]. Sasuke and Orochimaru screaming. It sounds more like they're taking a poop.



* The changing of Deidara's catchphrases for the Viz manga. His first "Art is a Bang/Blast" was short and to the point as well as helping describe his [[MadArtist personality]]. It has been changed to "Art is an Infinite Explosion" which comes off as long winded and somewhat tedious. His second catch "Katsu" is also an activator for his explosive jutsu and has been translated as "Yeaargh" which makes no damn sense what so ever and ruins every scene he uses it in. To be fair it's a [[MeaningfulName specific Japanese phrase]], but it could have easily translated as boom or something similar.
* Viz Manga has recently come out with the 3rd Databook completely ignoring the first two that came before it. While the character profiles follow the original and fan translations pretty well, the jutsu are a series of hit and miss regarding names and descriptions. The jutsu names are a grab bag of completely literal translations, partially translated techniques or just technique names that vaguely have to do with the actual description, especially those that weren't named in the series before hand. For example naming a character's [[HeroicSacrifice reincarnation technique]] "Self Destruct Jutsu" is one of the bigger offenders.
* Continuing on the translation issue is the video game's name for one of Itachi's Genjutsu. His Ephemeral technique has its own description on the series nightmare fuel page and is rather creepy to see in action. Of course the Japanese word for Ephemeral can also mean bubbles...



* A bit of Latin-American dub induced narm. Moisés Iván Mora's effort to try breaking through his ButtMonkey-like PigeonholedVoiceActor "roles" via playing Kabuto is commendable, but when one hears him speaking and '''all''' one can think of is how he STILL sounds like '''[[Anime/GhostSweeperMikami Tadao motherfucking Yokoshima]]'''... uh, nope, it's not working. (He did better as [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Yumichika Ayasegawa]], but still.)
** Sasuke Uchiha was played by Creator/VictorUgarte, who also played '''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]]''' both in original and new dub (plus ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion''), so during the chapter when they reveal via flashback the night Itachi killed the whole Uchiha Clan, a little Sasuke is heard yelling "¡Padreeeeeeee!" ("Fatheeeeeer!") with Víctor using ''exactly the same tone as Shinji whenever he yells at Gendo'', which can be a bit funny for those who watched it. Had Fugaku been played by Humberto Solórzano alias Gendo, the scene would've been even "funnier".
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx7bCYiIgXc epic battle between Gai and Kisame]] is ruined by the wonky animation of their attacks with Afternoon Tiger looking more like a bear than an actual tiger and every single one of Kisame's sharks and related jutsu having way [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily more teeth then should fit in their mouths]]. Gai's GlowingEyesOfDoom being changed from white to red don't help matters either as it makes him look like a robot.
* Chapter 579 is rather serious with the revelation that [[spoiler:Kabuto has trained to become a Sage like Naruto from the Snake Summons among other reveals]]. This is broken by ''Itachi'' of all people calling Sasuke [[spoiler:Dr. Snakes]] in a popular scanlation due to his knowledge of snakes when he was planning to kill Orochimaru. It's even funnier with there being a pause before saying it, as if Itachi added it in. Kabuto follows this up by saying [[spoiler:"But you won't defeat me by becoming Dr. Snakes!"]]. In the official translation, Itachi calls Sasuke a [[spoiler:snake expert]].
* Naruto and Sasuke have a lot of HoYay between them. Because of this any attempts on Sasuke's part to kill Naruto by stabbing him with his sword come off looking like he's trying to have sex with him. Case in point: Their first reunion in Part I where Sasuke half hugs Naruto and tries to stab him with his sword. As well as if you rewind any part in the anime where Naruto straddles Sasuke for whatever reason it comes off looking more like they're having sex.
* Odama Rasengan. Hard to take seriously when you keep hearing "Obama" instead.
* Chapter 581: [[spoiler:Kabuto saying he'll be Sasuke's older brother in place of Itachi ''right after he tried to eat him'' and requesting that he join him again after Sasuke refuses the first time]].



* Chapter 579: [[spoiler:"EVEN HE COULDN'T BECOME A TRUE SAGE IN THE END JUST LIKE ME! My power in the sage mode... If you're Dr. Snakes, I hope you keep that in your mind... I'm no longer a snake... The perfect force of sage helped me shed my snake skin... AND I'M A DRAGON NOW!!"]] [[FlatWhat What.]]
** Made ironic given that Kabuto was TheDragon to Orochimaru.
** The snake that apparently has its eyes fixed on Kabuto's ass.
* Zetsu's super-enthusiastic "HALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" in Shippuden Episode 201 will make the viewer crack a smile.
* Hidan bleeding from underneath his cloak after [[spoiler: fatally torturing Asuma]] eerily looks like he's having a period.
** And then there's his EXTREME fits of maniacal laughter. '''''"GEH-WA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!"'''''
** As Shikamaru's trap caves in on his dismantled body, Hidan gets pelted by a rock on one eye hard enough that it goes lazy, giving him a goofy, broken-eyed baby doll look as he continues to spew out taunts in wake of the [[AndIMustScream torturous fate]] about to ensue.
** And the last line he screams before Shikamaru's trap completely buries him:
---> '''Hidan:''' '''I'LL BITE YOU IN HELL, MOTHERFUCKER!!!'''
*** In the dub, he shouts, "I'll just need my TEETH!" Hello again, Monty Python.
* In Shippuden when Naruto goes Kyuubi he gets black lips, making it look like he has black lipstick on.
* Despite Chapter 578 being really intense, it had a bit of a gem. Sasuke complained about how Itachi always left him for "later". Itachi notes that we keep our natures and habits until we die... but then, he's done that already, so he might want to work on a new way for dealing with his brother!
* Sasuke picking up Sakura and choking her is pretty funny if you look at it with the sentence "[[Series/ChappellesShow Is Sasuke Uchiha gonna have to choke a bitch?]]" in mind.
* Any scene with Hotaru in it of the Shippuden filler is made funny due to how [[ForeheadOfDoom big her forehead is]].
* In Chapter 591 after [[spoiler:Itachi disappears for good]] there's a panel where Sasuke is shown just standing there staring straight ahead... and then his hair springs up on top of his head.
* From the Three-Tails filler arc: "Guuuuuuuren!" "Red Camellias!". Every. Bloody. Episode.
* Shippuden Episode 281: The evil Sumo wrestlers.
* Chapter 605. Obito's reaction is more than a bit over the top. As is his [[SarcasmMode pain-filled]] "WOOOOOHHH"!
* Every time Obito expects us to take him seriously after he reveals he was Tobi. For Pete's sake, anyone who remembers how silly he acted all the time will feel that it's a bit hard to take seriously somebody who acted that kooky just because he wanted to. Let's face it, Obito, once you've established yourself as the silliest person in the entire show it's just not that easy to take you seriously.
* Chapter 629: Obito's "There is nothing in my heart!" as he's pointing at the gaping in his chest.
** Everything about the final panel of the chapter is narmy. Especially the fact that the reader is treated to Kakashi looking through the hole in Obito's chest, with a facial expression that resembles mild confusion rather than shock or sadness.
*** Presumably he ''was'' confused. Obito's hole in his chest was just an illusion, which Kakashi could easily see through with his Sharingan. Essentially, Obito just wanted to let Kakashi ram his hand inside of him to prove a point, which makes the whole argument seem ridiculous.

ensue.



* Chapter 639: While it very clearly falls under NarmCharm, seeing as it still manages to be quite horrifying, [[spoiler:Obito's body spontaneously bloating and crashing into the ground while he is charging his enemies still falls under this. Especially since his balloon body still carries his stoic expression.]]
* Chapter 640: If there was ever a chance of anyone taking Tobito seriously, it ends with "Ri... n" being his MadnessMantra. It seems less creepy and more whiny.
* Shippuden Episode 175's montage about Naruto becoming accepted by the village becomes more and more Narmy as you go, culminating in people asking if Naruto is alright after Jiraiya dies, even though almost ''no one'' knew about his death and absolutely '''no one''' but Iruka and Shikamaru tried to comfort him.
* Karin's facial expression's in Chapter 662. Supposed to be heartbreaking, but when her half-assed characterization comes into play, her crying over [[spoiler:Sasuke's defeat]] just seems ridiculously pathetic.
* Itachi to Kisame in Shippuden Episode 251: "We are not fish, we are human". Considering the gravity of the topic being discussed, it just comes off as misplaced and badly delivered.



* Chapter 698. Naruto and Sasuke have literally exploded each other's arm with an big open wound left bleeding. They are lying down on the ground. The narm here is that the trails of blood of the wounds are mixing together, with Naruto and Sasuke in such position that is like they are holding hands. Even better, it takes very little editing to [[HoYay change the blood trail into a heart-shape]].
* When Sasuke is hunting down escapees from Orochimaru's lab, amongst the screams one person can be heard shouting, "Please, please, not the face!" It rather undermines the drama of the situation.
* The Sharinhead of ''Manga/NarutoGaiden''. The fact it's not only utterly ridiculous how it's a recycled version of Danzo's "Sharingarm" makes you think if Kishimoto has any sense of ridiculous or any creativity left.
** Everytime he tries to smile diabolically falls flat on his face when one of his eyes is stapled open on top of his many eyes in head.
* Gaara's father, who subjected him to a childhood of isolation and torment, is very surprised to learn [[https://youtu.be/_OVu7i8xqIk?t=4m18s that he ACTUALLY HAS FRIENDS.]] The Second Mizukage even takes a shot by saying everyone Gaara's age has friends.
* Meta example: [[http://mangapanda.info/naruto-next-generations-boruto-mitsuki-manga-previews/2/ the new art style]] for the sequel Boruto manga, debuting Spring 2016. Naruto looks to have bulked up a bit, and Sasuke looks like he started doing drugs.
* Towards the end of the original manga/anime, the animated rendition of the scene where [[spoiler:Rock Lee closes [[DiesWideShut the dead Neji Hyuuga's eyes]] ]] [[http://cassietotallyjust.tumblr.com/post/167269500403/vampireapologist-kouha-favorite-scene-in is completely ruined]] when [[spoiler: Neji's eyebrows ''literally'' disappear after Lee does this.]]
* One that's been running through the English dub since its very foundation is the sheer hilariousness of how Sasuke's voice actor Creator/YuriLowenthal says Naruto's name. Instead of pronouncing it as "NA-RUE-TOE" like most of the other cast members do, he says it like "NAH-RUE-TOE" with a vaguely Japanese-sounding accent. Unintentionally goofy for how jarring it is to hear when pretty much everybody else pronounces it by how the dubbers want it vocalized.
* During the pre-TimeSkip portion of the series, it can be a bit jarring to hear the voices of grown men coming out of 12- and 13-year-old boys (especially the deep, imposing baritones from Itachi in flashbacks and Shino).

* The outfit that Sasuke wears after fighting Itachi and [[spoiler:joining Akatsuki]] has a ''ridiculously'' oversized collar.
** The high collar was another symptom of his [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy "MY CLAN ALONE ROCKS"]] syndrome; it was tradition among Uchiha men to wear high collars on their shirts. That he incorporated it in a kimono did make him a FashionVictimVillain.
* Deidara's [[spoiler: giant suicidal explosion]] in Chapters 362 and 363 is hard to take seriously because its silhouette looks like that of Patrick Star from ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' -- or, to put it another way, a happy starfish.
** That goes for his C4 Garuda, too.
* Sakura stating her wish of having Sasuke rejoin them so that "Team 7 can laugh together again". Uh, ''[[FlatWhat what?]]'' When did Team 7 ''ever'' laugh together? When did Sasuke ever laugh ''period''? Team 7's interaction was mostly [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale Sakura beating up Naruto]], Naruto and Sasuke having a heated rivalry, and Sasuke giving Sakura's advances the cold shoulder. Sakura and Naruto sure have a bad case of NostalgiaFilter if they think they were all the best of friends back then.
** The fact that she says this ''after'' Sasuke unhesitatingly makes ''two'' attempts on her life, attacks their teacher with [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill Susanoo, one of the most broken abilities in the series]], and declared genocide on Konoha in [[MisplacedRetribution misplaced]], DisproportionateRetribution really makes you question how much further into denial she can go.
*** Chapter 699 reveals how much further she could go: Sasuke offers up a half-assed "sorry" for everything he'd done up to that point, which includes joining Akatsuki, trying to kill Naruto repeatedly, declaring genocide on Konoha, declaring his intentions to kill the Kages and become a brutal dictator to "give the world someone to hate", using a brutal genjutsu on Sakura, and more. How does Sakura respond? With a "for what". Because in Sakura's denial-induced delusions, [[KarmaHoudini Sasuke dindu nuffin]]!
*** Or, alternatively, she could have said "for what" because she wanted him to apologize more specifically instead of saying "sorry" in a general sense. Considering she said that he "damn well better be (sorry)" after this would make this more plausible.

* There is an instance that shows how the perspective of a panel can reduce the impact of a scene. Jugo stepped up to take on one of Raikage's bodyguards. We cut back to the kage meeting, then return to Jugo in his Cursed Seal form 2. He's squatting awkwardly in front of Sasuke and Suigestu and saying, "HA HA HA. I'LL KILL YOU." The odd body position and angle combined with the [[EvilLaugh evil cackling]] makes him look more like an evil troll than a threatening monster.
** He honestly looked like a Franchise/{{Pokemon}}.
** The "looks like a troll" part isn't all perspective and body position. Right then, Jugo was still [[SleepModeSize reduced to the size of a young teenager]].
** Then there's Jugo's name, which comes across as an unintentional case of EdibleThemeNaming for [[InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike Spanish speakers]]; it's kind of hard to take an angry, hulking man-tree with enormous strength seriously when his name is simply "juice".
* Though it wasn't an especially serious scene, the face of Naraka path Pain after it's killed is hilarious looking.
* [[spoiler:Naruto]] falling into an AngstComa can easily come off as funny if you notice that it seems to result from {{flashback}}-overdose.
** [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/naruto/v51/c476/12.html This translation]] makes that scene even funnier because [[UnsoundEffect "Gasp!"]] gets written over and over.

* The reaction of Nagato (who would become BigBad Pain) when ninja murder his parents:
--> "WAHHHHH!!!"
** The reaction to the ninja that killed them after mistaking them for other ninjas is approximately, "Woops, our bad".
** From the same flashback, we see where Nagato got the idea of [[AGodAmI becoming a god]] to help the world ''right'' before a stray exploding kunai comes by and kills his dog. The timing makes it hilarious.
** Later we have Yahiko's death in the anime, by {{flash step}}ping into the kunai.
* The final battle between Sasuke and Itachi has the scene where Itachi comes at Sasuke for his eyes. Itachi's facial expression kills any ''gravitas'' the scene has.
** You can make the argument that it's both [[NarmCharm narmy, and terrifying at the same time]]. On the hilarious side of things, Itachi's [[MotiveRant dialogue]] during the scene is incredibly [[ChewingTheScenery over the top]], and his facial expression is rather ridiculous. But it's also [[NightmareFuel scary]] ''because'' it's [[TheStoic Itachi]] making this [[NightmareFace bizarre facial expression]] and delivering this [[SanitySlippage unhinged speech.]] It's the first time we see the character show [[NotSoStoic a great degree of emotion]]. In addition, the fact that he quickly goes back to his [[TheStoic default demeanor]] after the fact makes it incredibly unnerving. However, in hindsight, the effect does sort of lose its horror aspect when the audience later learns that [[spoiler: Itachi's entire behavior during the scene was merely him deceiving Sasuke]], and makes it seem more like [[spoiler: the only way Itachi could convincingly feign insanity was to act as [[LargeHam outlandish as possible.]]]]
** Itachi's infamous RAPE FACE? Looks something like >8D ?
*** Even worse is when Itachi finally dies, his face smacks into the wall as he falls to the ground. This has pretty much become a meme of "Itachi Style: Facewall" when something is completely ridiculous.
*** By that same merit, Sasuke's reaction to Itachi blocking his Kirin with Susanoo, an overwrought sounding "GODDAMN YOU", may possibly count.
* In the [[Manga/Naruto1997 pilot]] chapter, after finding out who killed his best friend, Naruto transforms into a ''fox''.

to:

* The reaction of Nagato (who would become BigBad Pain) when ninja murder his parents:
--> "WAHHHHH!!!"
**
The reaction to the ninja that killed them Nagato’s parents after mistaking them for other ninjas is approximately, "Woops, our bad".
** * From the same flashback, we see where Nagato got the idea of [[AGodAmI becoming a god]] to help the world ''right'' before a stray exploding kunai comes by and kills his dog. The timing makes it hilarious.
** Later we have Yahiko's death in the anime, by {{flash step}}ping into the kunai.
%% * The final battle between Sasuke and Itachi has the scene where Itachi comes at Sasuke for his eyes. Itachi's facial expression kills any ''gravitas'' the scene has.
** You can make the argument that it's both [[NarmCharm narmy, and terrifying at the same time]]. On the hilarious side of things, Itachi's [[MotiveRant dialogue]] during the scene is incredibly [[ChewingTheScenery over the top]], and his facial expression is rather ridiculous. But it's also [[NightmareFuel scary]] ''because'' it's [[TheStoic Itachi]] making this [[NightmareFace bizarre facial expression]] and delivering this [[SanitySlippage unhinged speech.]] It's the first time we see the character show [[NotSoStoic a great degree of emotion]]. In addition, the fact that he quickly goes back to his [[TheStoic default demeanor]] after the fact makes it incredibly unnerving. However, in hindsight, the effect does sort of lose its horror aspect when the audience later learns that [[spoiler: Itachi's entire behavior during the scene was merely him deceiving Sasuke]], and makes it seem more like [[spoiler: the only way Itachi could convincingly feign insanity was to act as [[LargeHam outlandish as possible.]]]]
%% ** Itachi's infamous RAPE FACE? Looks something like >8D ?
%% *** Even worse is when Itachi finally dies, his face smacks into the wall as he falls to the ground. This has pretty much become a meme of "Itachi Style: Facewall" when something is completely ridiculous.
%% *** By that same merit, Sasuke's reaction to Itachi blocking his Kirin with Susanoo, an overwrought sounding "GODDAMN YOU", may possibly count.

* Itachi's infamous RAPE FACE made the jump from manga to Shippudden's sixth opening. Every time one watches the upcoming episodes, it's there to remind the viewer how ridiculous it is -- and if the original wasn't bad enough, then the one in the opening ''has an inverted color scheme'' that makes it look more like Kankuro than Itachi.
** There's the GratuitousEnglish at the start of the opening:
----> "I realize the screaming pain \\
searing loud into my brain\\
But I'm going straight ahead with this scar."
*** Even more hilarious is the line "Please let me show you the pain", which is sung over Pain doing something awesome and seems ridiculously on-the-nose as a result.
* Sasori's fight against Sakura and Chiyo, while awesome, had an instant of Narm. Sasori is shooting fire at Sakura and Chiyo. Sakura and Chiyo both hide behind rocks and [[ConvectionSchmonvection are completely unharmed by the flames even though some of the flames are bypassing the rocks]]. It's made even funnier when Chiyo remarks, "These flames are so intense." In addition, electric guitar music may not be the best soundtrack for what is supposed to be a dark and dramatic fight against one of the most disturbing and creepy characters in the entire series.
* It's hard to take Hinata getting smashed into the ground by Pain's Shinra Tensei seriously when the response this elicits is "Eek!" Fortunately, this is only the Sleepy Fans translation. (Others use the more appropriate "Kyah!")
** Viz used it too.
* Viz translates the name of the jutsu that Pain uses to level most of Konoha as "Almighty Push", taking away some of the impact of the scene with how unimpressive the name is.
** The technique made its debut in Shippuden Episode 159, and it seems subs have picked up on using "Almighty Push" for Shinra Tensei (神羅天征). It's a matter of perspective; seeing it mentioned in a scene that has a {{Homage}} to Film/TheMatrix [[NarmCharm conserves its awesome and fear-inducing nature]] if you know the Matrix reference.
** Viz's translation of the scene where Hinata confesses her love to Naruto goes well until Hinata is charging to attack Pain. She lets out a battle cry of "Rraawrr!" It's quite amusing to imagine Creator/NanaMizuki or Creator/StephanieSheh trying to make a sound similar to one made by [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Rorschach]] while voicing Hinata.

** While on the subject of rocks, the villain Raiga from the above filler arc, "The Curry of Life", was buried under an avalanche of rocks... with his arms sticking out of the top, still holding his swords.
* The third movie: The plot cannot be taken seriously because the villain is named "Shabadaba", and he is accompanied by a CampGay-looking sidekick. It's especially bad when a character screams his name in rage.
--> "SHABADABAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
** Shabadaba's [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Shabadeba_3782.jpg appearance]] is also laughable, mostly because his mustache appears to be ''connected to his hair''.
** In the original Japanese, Hikaru's voice actress sounds pretty [[DullSurprise wooden]] at several points, ''especially'' during sad[=/=]crying scenes, which come off sounding quite fake and flat.
* In the first episode, Iruka's dramatic speech is ruined thanks to all the snot coming out of Naruto's nose.
* One of Sasuke's flashbacks about Itachi detracts from the drama of the scene of his having defeated Naruto because the parts of Itachi's face close to the center of the screen appear closer than the parts toward the edges, creating a fish-eye effect.
** Kishimoto is very fond of the fish-eye effect.
* In one episode, Sakura is reflecting on how she wants to become stronger to make up for all the time she spent hiding behind Naruto and Sasuke, with the camera panning around the other characters. What ruins this moment is that while she's talking and dramatic music plays in the background, you can hear the cartoonish sounds of [[FauxActionGirl her getting repeatedly punched in the head by her opponent]].
* Naruto's having BlankWhiteEyes after exiting his four-tailed fox mode [[NarmCharm a combination of this and]] NightmareFuel, since he usually has that expression in comic situations, like after [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale Sakura hits him]]. It quickly [[FunnyAneurysmMoment sinks back into]] NightmareFuel when you realize that they are blank and white because they ''rolled back in his head.''
** Previously, while he's still fighting, he swallows a ball of concentrated chakra and ''inflates''. Suddenly. He looks like a giant football with legs. {{Narm}} doesn't get much better than this.
** Also, during Naruto's fight with Orochimaru he goes into the Kyuubi state and Yamato's response to this is to say "[[PrecisionFStrike Shit...]]"
** Orochimaru's graceless landing after Naruto fires his WaveMotionGun is unintentionally amusing.

* To start off, the overuse of BloodFromTheMouth each and every time a character dies, be it in the show or the manga. The first couple of times, it's passable, but later on, it makes you wonder if the cast carries ketchup packs in their mouths in case they're going to kick the bucket. A few examples can be seen [[http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2013/062/4/5/naruto__smiling_at_death_by_manosrockman-d5wu0lk.jpg here.]]
* Kishimoto clearly has some kind of [[AuthorAppeal thing about drawing people's toes]], to the extent that practically ''every'' character in the series has open-toed shoes. It gets pretty distracting in the middle of an intense dramatic confrontation or epic fight scene when everyone's footwear looks more suited for a stroll down the beach than, you know, a ''fight to the death''.
* Pretty much any scene where Orochimaru is giving off creepy [[MemeticMolester child molester vibes]].
* Gaara's scream of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uyx2eln9Uo#t=0m16s IT'S MY BLOOOOOD!]]" is a rare example of something being Narm and NightmareFuel [[NarmCharm at the same time.]]
** The highest Narm-factor scores the German dub: "Was ist... mit meinem Körper?!" (In English: "What is... with my body?!"). Is he having a date with Rosie Palms for the first time in this sand balloon of his or [[Film/FullMetalJacket what is his major malfunction?!]]
*** The Italian dub isn't much better. To casual English viewer, it sounds like he is "screaming" this line:
--->'''Gaara''': SANDWICH! I NEED A SANDWICH!
** The same goes for Gaara's demon form, which is ''supposed'' to be [[EldritchAbomination so awful that people are petrified just thinking about it]], but is really just a large {{Tanuki}} with a southern accent.
--->'''Shukaku:''' WEEEEEEE~! I'M FREE! HERE I COME, BABY!
** Not helped by one line from one of Naruto's summons:
-->'''Gamakichi:''' That is one funky demon.
* Toward the end of Part I, the [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome climactic]], [[TearJerker sorrowful]] fight between Naruto and Sasuke suffered from a dramatic standpoint when it included this {{Wangst}}y gem from Sasuke.
-->'''Sasuke:''' Naruto, you may be special, but... ''[[LameComeback I am more special.]]''
* A {{filler}} arc revolves around a dish named the Curry Of Life, which is so spicy that it can somehow ''physically and emotionally heal people'' (as long as they are UnaffectedBySpice), as well as bring them back to the dead. Despite the dish being relatively mundane, it is unironically treated by the story as a lifesaving elixir, which can come across as silly.

** Inojin, the son of Sai and Ino, has the most half-arsed character design out of all the next generation kids.
** Naruto's son with Hinata is named... Bolt. What. The. Hell.
*** To be fair, it's supposed to be {{meaningful|Name}} and some sort of a pun... "Bolt" is [[DeadGuyJunior named after]] his cousin Neji, whose name translates to "screw." Also, it's due to the shape of a bolt that he's got on his jacket, but in the Japanese version, his name is pronounced "Boruto", a take on his father's name, Naruto, and paternal grandfather's name, Minato.
*** Even then, the Japanese pronunciation has led many people to call him "Burrito".
** Just...seeing Gaara sport a [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Sheldon Cooper]] haircut in contrast to his former ruffly hair looks... off on him. But hilarious.
** All the children look ridiculous for being clearly fusions of the design of her parents, with the exception of the ones that look EXACTLY like them, making them painfully canon versions of the kind of design you would see from fan-made "possible future children" {{Original Character}}s on Website/DeviantArt.

* Shippuden Episode 167, the [[NarmCharm Crowning Moment of Narm]] of the series, hasn't earned its reputation for nothing:
** At one point during the fight, Kyuubi!Naruto smashes Pain into the ground repeatedly in a cartoonish manner that can only be described as ''Whack-A-Mole-No-Jutsu''. Then Pain, whose head is sticking out of the ground, merely looks at Kyuubi!Naruto and asks this with a [[TheStoic dead-serious]] expression:
--> "[[CaptainObvious Do you hate me?]]"
** [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/326/563/731.gif Here's Kyuubi!Naruto momentarily punching the quality out of Pain's face.]]

* Shippuden ''Shippuden'' Episode 167, 167 -- the [[NarmCharm Crowning Moment of Narm]] climactic showdown between Pain and the enraged Four-Tailed Naruto -- is considered to be the Narmiest fight in the entire series despite the AnimationBump it was given. Due to its stylized and exaggerated, yet OffModel animation (which was likely intended to reflect Naruto's [[UnstoppableRage current condition]]), as well as its bizarre choerography, the entire scene seems less like a chaotic, no-holds-barred clash between two superpowered ninjas, and more like a wacky slapstick sequence that would feel right at home in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' or ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' (best illustrated by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXhAGO4IE8Y this hilarious edit of the series, hasn't earned fight]]). [[note]] With that said, there are plenty of fans who consider this fight to be NarmCharm, finding it enjoyable to watch despite or even ''because'' of its reputation for nothing:
quirks[[/note]] Some highlights include:
** At one point during the fight, Kyuubi!Naruto smashes grabbing a gigantic pillar of rock and [[HammeredIntoTheGround repeatedly hammering Pain into the ground repeatedly with it like a nail]], in a cartoonish manner that can only be described as ''Whack-A-Mole-No-Jutsu''. Then Pain, whose head is sticking out of the ground, merely looks at Kyuubi!Naruto and asks this with a [[TheStoic dead-serious]] expression:
--> "[[CaptainObvious ---> '''Pain''': [[CaptainObvious Do you hate me?]]"

** Kyuubi!Naruto suprising Pain with a high-speed left hook to the face, causing the latter's head to become [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/326/563/731.gif Here's Kyuubi!Naruto momentarily punching the quality out of Pain's face.off-model and wobble hilariously like Jello.]]
** [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/116/992/Naruto-quality-3.gif Pain's]] Pain's series of [[OffModel ridiculous]], ridiculous, exaggerated facial expressions and movements expressions]] as he is about to [[GroundPunch punch the ground beneath him with all his might]], all the while he tells Kyuubi!Naruto this:this {{Wangst}}-y sounding line:



*** Slow down the clip enough, and you can see that Pain temporarily turns [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove into a human llama]], and a bird-like face not unlike [[ComicStrip/SpyVSSpy those two spies]].
*** Hell, [[{{Wangst}} that line]] is {{Narm}} even ''without'' QFA [[note]] [[SarcasmMode Quality]] [[OffModel Freaking Animation]][[/note]].



** Kyuubified Naruto hits Pain into a stone wall. Pain's head sticks into it, and his entire body goes rigid for several moments before going limp.
*** Also directly before this, when the punch sends Pain cartwheeling incredibly fast for like twenty seconds, and afterward when his body is IMMEDIATELY smothered by a bunch of boulders falling on him.
** Pain gets WheelOFeet [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/326/565/f68.gif while running]], causing him to resemble a Goth Emo [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Roadrunner.]]
*** Or a Goth Emo VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog
** If you ever thought at one point how this all resembles some demented ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short, you aren't wrong. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXhAGO4IE8Y This video has you covered.]]
** The whole fight looks like a DisneyAcidSequence crossed with some InterfaceScrew, reflecting Naruto's [[SuperpoweredEvilSide current]] [[UnstoppableRage condition]]. Still Narmy, but it's [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible art]]; at least, that's what they're going for. [[note]]Considering that the rest of the Pain Arc has top-notch animation and the second half of the episode is back to normal, this was definitely intentional. Shame, because the battle could have been ten times as epic as four-tailed-Naruto vs. Orochimaru.[[/note]]

** Sasuke Uchiha was played by Creator/VictorUgarte, who also played '''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]]''' both in original and new dub (plus ''Film/RebuildOfEvangelion''), so during the chapter when they reveal via flashback the night Itachi killed the whole Uchiha Clan, a little Sasuke is heard yelling "¡Padreeeeeeee!" ("Fatheeeeeer!") with Víctor using ''exactly the same tone as Shinji whenever he yells at Gendo'', which can be a bit funny for those who watched it. Had Fugaku been played by Humberto Solórzano alias Gendo, the scene would've been even "funnier".

* Chapter 682: Naruto uses the Sexy Reverse Harem Jutsu on Kaguya, and it actually works long enough for him to land a hit on her. While funny, it does make Kaguya harder to take seriously.
* Chapter 686: Kaguya transported the fight into a place with strong gravitational pull. A would be OhCrap moment is completely negated because Kaguya is also affected.
** Obito and Kakashi attempted to [[TakingTheBullet take the hit]] for Naruto and Sasuke. Only for the former to save the latter because he didn't want Kakashi to get in his way of his "alone time" with Rin.
* The title of Chapter 691 is "Congratulations". Considering that the word is synonymous with a certain [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion series']] [[GainaxEnding ending]] and that the manga was wrapping up at that point, it's hard not to snicker.
* The Tagline for Chapter 696 reads: "A Conflict [[HoYay of Love]] and Power... Is an explanation even needed???"



* ''Anime/BorutoNarutoTheMovie'' reveals that fear of Kinshiki and Momoshiki is what originally inspired Kaguya to create her Zetsu army. Given how much of an AntiClimaxBoss she was, this is hilarious.

* Itachi's infamous RAPE FACE made the jump from manga to Shippudden's sixth opening. Every time one watches the upcoming episodes, it's there to remind the viewer how ridiculous it is--and if the original wasn't bad enough, then the one in the opening ''has an inverted color scheme'' that makes it look more like Kankuro than Itachi.

*** Even more hilarious is the line "Please let me show you the pain." Which is sung over Pain doing something awesome. Appropriate?
* Sasori's fight against Sakura and Chiyo, while awesome, had an instant of Narm. Sasori is shooting fire at Sakura and Chiyo. Sakura and Chiyo both hide behind rocks and are completely unharmed by the flames even though some of the flames are bypassing the rocks. It's made even funnier when Chiyo remarks, "These flames are so intense."
