2! Story
3* Nicola Adel basically marches to his own tune. After Urias challenges him, he gets goaded to begin to unleash his true power... but then stops and leaves, because he's ''too hungry to continue''.
4* As Nicola Adel shows Luna around Isunia, a challenger shows up, trying to best him so that he can become a one-man guild too. Nicola, without missing a beat, punches the challenger so hard [[ATwinkleInTheSky that he flies off into the distance]]. Nicola later reveals that this happens on a regular basis.
5* As Nicola advises Luna to eat more so that she can grow taller, he promptly shoves a full sandwich to the girl's mouth, which led to him receiving a sermon from Marlone:
6--> '''Marlone''': You can't just put things into other peoples' mouths!
7* Mono is quite knowledgeable for a robot when it comes to sarcasm, as [[SnarkToSnarkCombat her interactions with Urias]] can attest.
8* In Naterra, Ladica is fluent in "the dialect of the ancients." Said dialect just so happens to feature a lot of chatspeak, to the point where "Lol" said as a single word could be considered Ladica's catchphrase.
9** Really, the fact that Naterra's previous civilization was apparently full of LeetLingo-speaking [[ValleyGirl Valley Girls]].
10* At the start of ''Lainecrest: Testament'', Amaryllis first comes in with an abandoned magical doll. Lyelth eventually offers to fix the doll, in exchange for a book recommendation from her. The next day, Amaryllis comes in bringing a malformed magical being. Lyelth puts his foot down and refuses to look after it.

12! Cards -- Voice Acting
13* Despite the general dramatic attitude for most of the game, some of the cards utter incredibly ridiculous lines and that cause some laughs and chuckles:
14** Summon a Snowman, and you hear "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_900311010_1.mp3 Golly, it's chilly here!]]" In the past, if you summon multiple Snowmen at once, and it overlaps with itself, resulting in "Golly, it's-- Golly, it's-- Golly, it's-- Golly, it's chilly here!"[[note]]Now, the line only plays once as all the tokens are brought in at the same time rather than in sequence.[[/note]] It gets even funnier if the swarm of Snowmen end up being the [[CherryTapping cause of the opponent's demise]].
15** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/102111040 Underbrush Beast Girl]]'s summon line is a very half-hearted "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_102111040_1.mp3 Like, uh... Roar!]]"
16** [[{{Adorkable}} Grimnir]]'s BadassBoast when played is also a gem, especially in Japanese. If you manage to use him at Turn 10 (which activates his Enhance effect), his BadassBoast is so long that he talks through the ''entirety'' of his effect's animation.[[note]]Yes, this includes his previous, slower animation.[[/note]]
17---> [[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/j/vo_104031020_1_enh.mp3 Saa! Sono mune ni kizama ga yoi! Ware koso wa gunshin, odorikuru bofuun, Griiiiiiimuniiiiiirruuu!!]] [[labelnote: Translation]]"Engrave this into your heart! I am the god of war, the dancing storm, Griiiiiiimnir!"[[/labelnote]].
18*** This is later carried on to ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' as one of Grimnir's summon calls, as well as his introductory quest.
19** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/104031020 Grimnir]]'s interaction with an enemy [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/102041020 Odin]]: "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_104031020_7_102041020.mp3 It is I, Grimnir, the-- Hey! Quit ignoring me!]]"
20** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/900311060 Flame Rat]] is funny in general, but his line at the start of the player's turn who has him takes the cake: "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_900311060_5.mp3 Eeek! I'm on fire!]]" Even funnier when this causes the opponent to take lethal damage.
21** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/104321020 Freshman Lou]] has a CaptainObvious line when summoned: "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_104321020_1.mp3 My name's Lou. It's short for... Lou!]]"
22*** Fitting into her having NoSenseOfDirection, she also has this line when she attacks: "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_104321020_2.mp3 No! I can't be late!]]"
23** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103221030 Gelt, Vice Captain]], who has UndyingLoyalty to [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103231020 Amelia]] in the Videogame/RageOfBahamut lore, has an ironic line when facing an enemy Amelia: "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_103221030_7_103231020.mp3 Amelia, get out of there!]]"
24** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/100221010 Floral Fencer]] has an incredibly silly line whenever she attacks, "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_100221010_2.mp3 Stop staring!]]" The way she says this line implies that the player happens to be a pervert and looking up her skirt.
25*** In addition, when you evolve her, she also [[CallingYourAttacks calls her attack]] in an undramatic fashion ("[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_100221010_3.mp3 Floral... flurry!"]]). Even funnier that this is followed with [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/900211030 Steelclad Knight]]'s much more serious [[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_900211030_1.mp3 "My loyalty is ironclad!"]], making her evolve having the most awkward instances of voice acting.
26** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103311040 Timeless Witch]]'s boredom with eternity seeps into her voice acting. She [[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_103311040_2.mp3 yawns]] while attacking, and only gives a sigh and a resigned "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_103311040_4.mp3 Whatever]]" when she dies.
27** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/104521020 Orthrus]] is perfectly capable of talking normally, but she [[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_104521020_2.mp3 barks]] when she attacks and actually [[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_104521020_4.mp3 whimpers]] like an injured dog when killed.
28** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/105711020 Monk of Purification]] looks like any ordinary monk, until you get around to playing him. With lines like "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_105711020_1.mp3 A hundred prayers in every bottle!]]" and "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_105711020_3.mp3 If you're in the market for a prayer...]]" he sounds more like a salesman peddling holy water!
29** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/105611020 Big Knuckle Bodyguard]] has an incredibly funny and stereotypical [[AwesomeAussie Australian accent]] and being DumbMuscle has these silly lines:
30--->'''Evolve''': "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_105611020_3.mp3 What the heck is going on!?!]]"
31--->'''Death''': "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_105611020_4.mp3 Uhhhh...that one didn't count.]]"
32** The entirety of [[http://sv.bagoum.com/cards/DisagreeableDemon Disagreeable Demon]]'s voice lines are bunch of stereotypical {{Tsundere}} lines you would normally hear.
33--->'''Play''': I'm not doing this for ''you''.
34--->'''Attack''': Humph!
35--->'''Evolve''': Who cares about your ''stupid'' enemies.
36--->'''Death''': Uggh, wish I tried ''harder''!
37** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/105721020 Eagle Man]]'s DynamicEntry: "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_105721020_1.mp3 In an hour of crisis, an eagle!]]"
38** [[https://sv.bagoum.com/cards/107811140 Cursed Stone]] has a monotone SimpletonVoice, which is something one doesn't expect from an animate statue.
39** [[https://sv.bagoum.com/cards/107741020 Heavenly Knight]] in Japanese has a refined, collected voice. His English voice, however, is a LargeHam like Eagle Man above.
40--->'''Play''': From the heavens above, JUSTICE IS DELIVERED!
41--->'''Attack''': ForGreatJustice!
42--->'''Evolve''': The heavens shall lay waste to you!
43--->'''Death''': Justice can never... die...
44** [[https://sv.bagoum.com/cards/111511030 Marian the Mummy]] communicates in muffled sounds, since she's completely wrapped in bandages. If you evolve her, the bandages come off, and she speaks like a ValleyGirl.
45--->"Mmmh... Omigod! Finally!"
46* Upon being destroyed, most cards either say something along the lines of ThisCannotBe or simply groan. Some, however, have some pretty amusing reactions upon death.
47** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/100311010 Sammy, Wizard Apprentice]] nonchalantly says "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_100311010_4.mp3 Show's over!]]"
48** The [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/100011020 Fighter]] will simply say "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_100011020_4.mp3 Wait, that's it!?]]"
49** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/100511030 Apprentice Necromancer]] [[SkewedPriorities doesn't seem to mind death at all]], with "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_100511030_4.mp3 I love the feel of the earth!]]"
50** Quite a few Shadowcraft followers have flippant responses towards their demise, like Goblin Zombie ("[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_104511040_4.mp3 I fell apart!]]"), Rabbit Necromancer ("[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_101511040_4.mp3 Hey, that hurts!]]"), Attendant of Night ("[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_103511050_4.mp3 I'm gonna tell on you!]]"), and Cerberus ("[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_101541010_4.mp3 Sorry! Gotta go!]]").
51** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/100411020 Disaster Dragon]] seems to go up an entire octave when he dies ("[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_100411020_4.mp3 Impossible!]]").
52** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103711060 Veteran Tamer]] sounds more like she's scolding one of her pets: "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_103711060_4.mp3 No! Bad!]]"
53** The aforementioned Freshman Lou: "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_104321020_4.mp3 Hmph! I'm going home!]]"
54** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103021020 Fortunehunter Feena]], known for her optimism and GenkiGirl nature of her personality in ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' and ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'', has this line: "[[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_103021020_4.mp3 Running away is okay!]]"
55** [[https://sv.bagoum.com/cards/107531020 Skeleton Prince]] has some very pompous lines, but his death takes the cake with "[[https://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_107531020_4.mp3 Oh suuuuure, pick on the skeleton!]]"
56** [[http://sv.bagoum.com/cards/108311030 Beastfaced Mage]]'s death quote involves [[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_108311030_4.mp3 over the top whimpering and yelping]].
57** [[https://sv.bagoum.com/cards/103721030 Luxwing Reno]] delivers a completely deadpan [[https://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_103721030_4.mp3 Just perfect...]] as soon as she is killed.

59! Cards -- Art and Text
60* From ''Dawnbreak Nightedge'' comes [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/108424010 Waters of the Orca]], a 2pp Dragon Spell that summons a Megalorca. But there's more to the rest of the card:
61-->'''Enhance (4)''': Summon 1 more.\
62'''Enhance (6)''': Summon 1 more.\
63'''Enhance (8)''': [[BrokenRecord Summon 1 more.]]\
64'''Enhance (10)''': [[OverlyLongGag Summon 1 more.]]
65* [[https://sv.bagoum.com/cards/109721010 Father Punishment]] is practically doused in hilarity due to how over-the-top his expression, [[InstantCostumeChange explosion of clothing]], [[DropTheWashtub choice of punishment]], and flavor text is. What makes it even better is that while he maintains a piddly 1/1 statline even when evolved, his strong evolve effect invokes ShootTheMageFirst during the evolve turns, making him a LethalJokeCharacter if ignored.
66* There exists a mod for the game called the "Summertime mod" which changes the card arts of various cards into summer themed version of their arts. While mostly having female and a handful of male in characters swimsuits as probably is expected, it also has some rather funny inclusions such as Jeno, Blood Wolf, Tart Man and the common Skeleton.
67* In ''Omen of the Ten'', one of the cards is [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/110021010?lang=en Armored Troll]]. It bypasses Wards, but can only attack the enemy leader. [[Memes/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft If the face plays Ward, it still goes face.]] Some see this card as a TakeThat to the mindset of aggro players in CCG like Shadowverse and Hearthstone.
68* [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/110011020?lang=en Steadfast Angel's]] flavor text describes the work of a celestial blacksmith. Mostly.
69-->His hammer ringeth across the heavens, like unto a blessed bell. [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101021010?lang=en One angel]] is drawn by the rhythmic chorus of his labor.\
70"[[https://sv.bagoum.com/voice/j/vo_101021010_1.mp3 Ding-dong, ding-dong!]]"\
71"[[https://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_110011020_8_101021010.mp3 You annoying little]]—I'm trying to work here!"
72* The flavor text for [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/110031010?lang=en Feena, Dynamite Daredevil]] details the various misadventures of her and [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103011030?lang=en Goblin Mage]].
73-->"C'mon, Goblin Mage! We've got treasure to hunt!"\
74"Ooh! Feena, I found some shiny stuff!"\
75"Wait, don't touch that! It's a tr—"\
76—Feena and Goblin Mage, falling for an obvious trap.
77** The evolved text shows that things aren't exactly getting better.
78--->"F-failure? Ha! I don't know the meaning of the word!"\
79"[[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Ah! There's something shiny on the floor! Yoink!]]"\
80"Did you hear a click just now?"\
81—Feena and Goblin Mage, about to fall into an oubliette.
82* [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/113511010?lang=en Mino, Crafty Reaper]] apparently writes SlashFic in her spare time.
83-->"I'll put in my hours, but don't expect me to clock in any overtime. What... I dropped something, you say? O-oh, that's the [=HaZeus=] fanfic I wrote! Y-you're a fan too? Omigosh, let's gush! [[PortmanteauCoupleName HaZeus or Zeudes]]? I just can't choose my {{OTP}}!"
84* [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/114234010?lang=en Elegance in Action]], the title of the card mixed with the art of a maid stumbling around is just [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] at its best. The description just seals the deal.
85-->"Visitors to the mansion always depart with an item gifted in apology."
86
87! Leaders
88* While most of the funny lines come from the cards, the alternate Shadowcraft leader Mordecai manages get a little gem with his sorry emote. It's something especially amusing hearing a skeletal knight saying [[http://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_105_000_003.mp3 sorry in such a silly and childish tone]].
89* A lot of leaders usually have subtle facial expressions in their victory or defeat screens, but one noticeable facial expression that considered hilarious is [[https://sv.bagoum.com/simg/leaders/class_703_base_win.png Cagilostro's evil grin]] in the Victory screen, which has become a meme within the fandom of how [[LargeHam over the top the facial expression is]].
90* Miyako, if defeated, screams that she's dying... and then realizes that, as a poltergeist, she's already dead.
91* Galmieux is one of the haughtiest leader skins, and her voice lines show.
92-->'''Greeting emote:''' [[https://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_1604_000_001.mp3 Oh, a nerd. Great.]]\
93'''Thanks emote:''' [[https://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_1604_000_002.mp3 Wait, that's it?]]\
94'''Defeat line:''' [[https://sv.bagoum.com/voice/e/vo_1604_000_012.mp3 Pff! Kiss my ash!]]
95
96! Gameplay
97* Your opponent establishing lethal for their next turn and [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating emoting over it]]? Rude. The same opponent getting eliminated by a card they didn't expect? ''Gratifying''.
98* There is an inherent humor with several ForcedTransformation effects, largely due to what the cards get transformed into. Transforming the mighty Bahamut into a much less harmful Snowman or a Flame Rat is a lot more humiliating than destroying or banishing it.
99* [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/104741020?lang=en Heavenly Aegis]], an unstoppable NighInvulnerable 8/8 juggernaut, can be turned into dead weight by [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/106011020?lang=en Mr. Full Moon]] or [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/900534030?lang=en Miyako's unique spell]]. The latter is more humiliating, due to the implication of Aegis being turned into pudding.
100* The card [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/109441010?lang=en Zooey, Arbiter of the Skies]] from ''Brigade of the Sky'' reduces the player's HP to one when she's played (but makes the player immune to all damage until next turn). As [[https://twitter.com/oriikanohanasi/status/1012614398987235329?s=19 this poor player]] unfortunately finds out, [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103412020?lang=en Dragonclaw Pendant]] applies to her effect, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard killing the player]].
101* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCnxRnc4TjM Two players experimented with Galmieux's card effect]] and demonstrated that an evolved Galmieux will cause an infinite loop with Jormungand's effect (as it damages her after the Blood player takes a hit from Galmieux on their own turn), [[CycleOfHurting creating an endless barrage from the Omen of Disdain, only stopping when either Galmieux or either player is dead]]. [[note]]This is only possible before 29 October 2018, after which Galmieux was given a once-per-turn restriction on her effect.[[/note]]
102* If you're in the middle of a game when the game does its monthly reset on your Master Score, your score updates after you finish, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Shadowverse/comments/9t4kil/had_a_heart_attack_then_realized_the_season_reset/ but not without looking like you got a massive penalty.]]
103* There has been [[https://t.co/0CTVE3UdQG a recorded case]] where someone won a game by milling the ''opponent[='s=]'' cards straight to zero.
104** Much more common but less dramatic are cases where a player has replaced their deck with [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/111041010?lang=en Prince of Cocytus]] but left a [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/111421010?lang=en Vile Violet Dragon]] on the board. A crafty opponent can deal chip damage to Vile Violet enough times to force the opponent to draw out their small deck. Winning a game this way is often an SugarWiki/AwesomeMoment for the player.
105* The Gold Pina Colata in the Idolmaster Cinderella Girls is [[ThatOneBoss infuriating to fight]] when it gets random amulets and strong Tokens in turns far earlier than it should. But sometimes it ''screws up royally'' and gets board-locked with a field full of amulets that it can't get rid of by itself. It's a cathartic situation, especially if you've been struggling against it.
106* Alice gets a retrain in the ''Azvaldt'' mini-expansion! But when you take her previous appearance in context -- namely that she was the face of ''Wonderland Dreams'' and the focus of a lot of its problems, it can be interpreted that she was imprisoned in Azvaldt for causing all those issues in her heyday.
107
108! Anime
109* Episode 14 is one of the sillier ones -- Hiiro squares off with the eccentric Marcel, and he's left baffled by the chef's behavior. Even Marcel's entire ''deck'' is ridiculous, as a mostly neutral deck with a cooking theme using sillier cards like Hamsa, Ultimate Carrot, and Humpty Dumpty.
