History Narm / Naruto

* 533: [[spoiler: Chouji spontaneously sprouting butterfly wings out of sheer rage]]. It's an awesome moment for what it represents... but still ''really silly looking''.

* [[spoiler: Konan's dying flashback about her former team and Jiraiya... all dressed and positioned like they're wearing frog suit in [[SuperMarioBros SMB3]].]] It kind of ruins the drama of the scene when they look like they're about to tackle a swimming level.

** "Meat Tank" is actually the name of Chouji's jutsu, which he uses to turn into a giant ball. Still pretty narmy, though.

* 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!

* The 4:54 point of [[http://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.

* 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 to [[http://www.mangareader.net/naruto/523/8 use Super Deformed]] for that? It completely killed the drama, damn it.

* Chapter 523 has [[spoiler: Kakashi explaining his team what they should do to deal with Haku and Zabuza.]] But did they have to [[http://www.mangareader.net/naruto/523/8 use Super Deformed]] to do so? That completely killed the drama, damn it.

-->'''Naruto''': If he tears off my arms, I'll just kick him dead. If he tears off my legs, I'll bite him dead.

** ...isn't that how it's supposed to be pronounced?

** 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. Turns out [[spoiler:he's NotQuiteDead yet.]]

* One of Sasuke's flashbacks about Itachi detracts from the drama of the scene of his having defeated Naruto when 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.

** From the same flashback, we see where Nagato [[spoiler:got the idea of [[AGodAmI becoming a god]] to help the world]] ''right'' before [[spoiler:a stray exploding kunai comes by and kills his dog]]. The timing makes it hilarious.
* The [[spoiler: final battle between Sasuke and Itachi]] has the scene where Itachi [[spoiler: comes at Sasuke for his eyes]]. [[http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/386/12/ Itachi's facial expression]] kills any ''gravitas'' the scene has.

* In the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen pilot]] chapter, [[spoiler:after finding out who killed his best friend]], Naruto transforms into a ''fox''. It [[http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/0/40/ sounds]] cool before it appears; but then you see it's an [[http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/0/41/ adorable, sort of creepy, anthropomorphic fox]].

* There is an instance that shows how the perspective of a panel can reduce the impact of a scene. [[spoiler: 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 going, "[[http://manga.animea.net/naruto-chapter-461-page-16.html 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.

** The "looks like a troll" part isn't all perspective and body position. Right then, [[spoiler:Jugo was still [[SleepModeSize reduced to the size of a young teenager]]]].
* Though it wasn't an especially serious scene, the [[http://media.onemanga.com/mangas/00000004/000138972/15.jpg face]] [[spoiler:Naraka path Pain]] after it's killed is hilarious looking.

*** Hell, [[{{Wangst}} that line itself]] is {{Narm}}. It's like "My life is more horrible than yours!".

* Episode 167 has a scene where Kyuubi!Naruto smashes Pain into the ground repeatedly. Then Pain, whose head is sticking out of the ground, merely looks at Kyuubi!Naruto and asks this with a [[TheStoic Stoic]] expression:

* Shippuuden episode 48, "Bonds", ends with a dramatic speech by Naruto in which he declares his determination to destroy Orochimaru. While admittedly a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, it becomes Narm Fuel for ''[[MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Monty Python fans]]''.

** Pein gets 'windwheel' legs while running, causing him to resemble a Goth Emo [[LooneyTunes Roadrunner.]]

** Kyuubified Naruto hits Pein into a stone wall. Pain's head sticks into it, and his entire body goes rigid for several moments before going limp.

** If you saw that scene before in English and think you don't need to see that link, watch the whole thing for all the languages for EXTRA NARM!
** The same goes for his demon form, which is ''supposed'' to be [[EldritchAbomination so awful that people are petrified just thinking about it]]. But it's a large grey raccoon with a [[{{Uncyclopedia}} southern accent]].

*** And no mention of his CampGay-looking sidekick?
* In the first episode Iruka's dramatic speech is ruined thanks to all the snot coming out of Naruto's nose.

* Naruto's having BlankWhiteEyes after exiting his four-tailed fox mode a combination of this and NightmareFuel, since he usually has that expression in comic situations, like after Sakura hits him.

** 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 appears it's a matter of perspective; seeing it mentioned in a scene that definitely homages TheMatrix [[NarmCharm conserves its awesome and fear-inducing nature]] if you know the Matrix reference.

* Most recently, there was an instance that shows how the perspective of a panel can reduce the impact of a scene. [[spoiler: 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 going, "HA HA HA. I'LL KILL YOU." The odd body position and angle combined with the evil cackling makes him look more like an evil troll than a threatening monster.

*[[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Orochimaru_Mustache_no_jutsu_by_A_Wing_3536.jpg This panel]] from Chapter 478. The shading makes it look like Orochimaru has a mustache and a bit of hair under his lower lip.

* Sometimes when Naruto says or shouts Sasuke's name in the English dub, it tends to sound like "SAUCE GAY!"

* Episode 167 has a scene where Kyuubi!Naruto smashes Pain into the ground repeatedly. And then Pain, who's head is sticking out of the ground, merely looks at Kyuubi!Naruto and asks with a [[TheStoic Stoic]] expression: "[[CaptainObvious Do you hate me?]]"
** Let's not forget the way in which Pain is smashed into the ground, which can only be described as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzBl8ASTs5k Whack-A-Mole-No-Jutsu]].

** [[http://i48.tinypic.com/k0spr8.gif Pain's]] series of [[OffModel ridiculous]] facial expressions and movements as he tells Kyuubi!Naruto: "My pain is far greater than yours!"
** Hell any time Pain's face breaks out of it's [[TheStoic default expression]] in the episode turns out to be incredibly narmy. [[http://www.animay.net/gallery2/displayimage.php?pid=180118&fullsize=1 here's]] [[http://www.animay.net/gallery2/displayimage.php?pid=180123&fullsize=1 some]] [[http://www.animay.net/gallery2/displayimage.php?pid=180244&fullsize=1 good]] [[http://www.animay.net/gallery2/displayimage.php?pid=180245&fullsize=1 examples.]]

*** However, when you can clearly see the OffModel in this type of animation style without even pausing the video, something is wrong.
** What about the parts where (1) Kyuubified Naruto hits Pein into a stone wall, where his head sticks into it and his entire body goes completely rigid for several moments before going limp. And (2) when Pein gets the whole 'windwheel' legs while running, causing him to resemble a Goth Emo Roadrunner.
