History Narm / Naruto

** 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.

** 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" OCs on Website/DeviantArt.

* Toward the end of Part I, the [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome climactic]], [[TearJerker sorrowful]] fight between Naruto and Sasuke suffered from a dramatic standpoint when it included this {{Wangst}}y gem from Sasuke.

* Shippuden Episode 167, the [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Moment of]] [[NarmCharm Narm]] of the series, 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:

* Shippuden 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 [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Monty Python fans]].

* 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 VAs 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.

* 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 charging 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 just took much of the awesomeness out of their meeting, since there is no reason why he'd want to do that. If it's to show his curse seal, that's on the back. This is just... odd.

* 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 saying of pronouncing it as "NA-RUE-TOE" like most people does, he pronounces it as "NAH-RUE-TOE" with a strange sounding accent to the way he says it. Its unintentionally funny for how jarring it is to hear when everyone else calls him by how the dub thinks he should be pronounced.

* The 10th opening of Shippuden. Just... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zftRzaj5biA the 10th opening of Shippuden.]]

* Pretty much any scene were Orochimaru is giving off creepy [[MemeticMolester child molester vibes]].

-->'''Gamabunta:''' That is one funky demon.

* Kinshimoto 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''.

* In the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen pilot]] chapter, after finding out who killed his best friend, Naruto transforms into a ''fox''. It [[http://manga.animea.net/naruto-chapter-0-page-40.html sounds]] cool before it appears; but then you see it's an [[http://images.wikia.com/naruto/images/5/5b/Naruto_original_9_tailed_form.jpg adorable, sort of creepy, anthropomorphic fox]].

** 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 StephanieSheh trying to make a sound similar to one made by [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Rorschach]] while voicing Hinata.

* 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; I'll let you guess which one the dubbers went with.

* A bit of Latin-American dub induced narm. Bless Moisés Iván Mora's heart for trying to break through his ButtMonkey-like PigeonholedVoiceActor "roles" via playing Kabuto, 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, so during the chapter when they reveal via flashback the night Itachi killed the whole Uchiha Clan, we hear a little Sasuke yelling "¡Padreeeeeeee!" ("Fatheeeeeer!") with Víctor using ''exactly the same tone as Shinji'', which can be a bit funny for those who watched it.

*** To be fair, it's supposed to be {{meaningful|Name}} and some sort of a pun... "Bolt" is [[DeadGuyJunior named after]] his cousin [[spoiler: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.

* 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 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 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.''

* Sasori's fight with 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."

* Sakura stating her wish of having Sasuke rejoin them so that "Team 7 can laugh together again". Uh, ''what?'' When did Team 7 ''ever'' laugh together? When did Sasuke ever laugh ''period''? Team 7's interaction was mostly Sakura beating up on 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 at 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.

*** 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 that she said "damn well better be (sorry)" after this would make this more plausible.

* Sasuke picking up Sakura and choking her is pretty funny if you look at it with the sentence "Is Sasuke Uchiha gonna have to choke a bitch?" in mind.

* Chapter 700, the [[DistantFinale epilogue]], features Sarada, the daughter of [[spoiler: Sasuke and Sakura]], whose name can easily be romanized as Salad.

* That butt-bow that Sasuke (in part II), Orochimaru, and his minions wear.

* In Shippuden episode 114, the death of Tsunade's brother in a {{flashback}}. He just shows up in a flashback about ''Orochimaru's life'' without any indication, runs ahead of his team, and just... explodes. And his necklace lands near the rest of his team.

* [[http://www.mangareader.net/93-47597-10/naruto/chapter-484.html This]] from chapter 484. Seeing [[spoiler: the Susanoo fizzle out after its latest upgrade]] was unexpectedly hilarious because the page before had Sasuke [[http://www.mangareader.net/93-47597-9/naruto/chapter-484.html declare in a dramatic fashion how he wanted to "change everybody's scornful laughter to screams and moans"]].

** The fact that she says this ''after'' Sasuke unhesitantly makes ''two'' attempts at 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.

* In episode 159 from Shippuuden, Choji's run to escape the last missile sent by Pain's Ashura Path is ridiculous.

* Naruto throwing the rhino during the battle with Pain was awesome in the manga. In episode 163 of the anime, due to OffModel animation in some parts, it looks more like [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/21742189_1569.jpg he's trying to scare the rhino away]] by saying, "AWAY WITH YOU!"
* 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]].

* Episode 167, the [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Moment of]] [[NarmCharm Narm]] of the series, 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 [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Monty Python fans]].

** Partially justified as this particular opening happened during a twenty-episode long stretch of light-hearted filler.

* 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.

* Sasuke's EvilLaugh in Shippuden episode 214 and manga chapter 483 is NarmCharm. It's hilarious mainly because it's ''[[TheComicallySerious Sasuke]]'' but it also shows how [[AxCrazy far gone he is]]. See it [[http://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."

* Zetsu's super-enthusiastic "HALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" in Episode 201 will make the viewer crack a smile.

* Despite 578 being a really intense chapter, 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!

* 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.

* Episode 281: The evil Sumo wrestlers.

** Taken to its conclusion in chapter 646, where its final form is revealed to be [[spoiler: a tree]].

* 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 episode 251 of Shippuden: "We are not fish, we are human". Considering the gravity of the topic being discussed, it just comes off as misplaced and badly delivered.

* Like Obito before him, Sasuke's shouts of "WOOH!" in chapter 697, which is probably meant to be a dramatic declaration of anguish, but really looks more like he's cheering as he punches the crap out of Naruto.

* Chapter 700, the DistantFinale features Sarada, the daughter of [[spoiler: Sasuke and Sakura]], whose name can easily be romanized as Salad.

* The Sharinhead of Naruto Gaiden. 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.

** Sai and Ino's love child Inojin has the most half-arsed character design out of all the next generation kids.
** Naruto's [[spoiler: son with Hinata is named... Bolt.]] What. The. Hell.
*** To be fair, it's supposed to be some sort of a pun... [[spoiler:Bolt is due to the shape of a bolt he's got on his jacket, but in the Japanese version, his name is pronounced "Boruto", a take on his father's name, Naruto.]]

* [[spoiler: Konan's dying flashback about her former team and Jiraiya... all dressed and positioned like they're wearing the 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.

* A bit of Latin-American dub induced narm. Bless Moisés Iván Mora's heart for trying to break through his ButtMonkey-like PigeonholedVoiceActor "roles" via playing Kabuto, 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.)

* Karin can heal people [[IntimateHealing if they bite her.]] Simple FetishFuel right? This becomes hilarious in the anime where, when Sasuke [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZPp-ssvIO0 bites her]], she reacts by [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything throwing her head back and moaning like she is having an orgasm.]] We then see her breathing heavily next to Sasuke and him standing up, both of them acting like they just had sex.

* 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 seems to be wrapping up, it's hard not to snicker.

* 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 [[FreudWasRight 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.
