3	Dark and complex though Princess Principal may be, there is still room for the occasional joke.
4	----
5	* Episode 1: When Ange greets Eric as he flees the Kingdom forces, she introduces herself as an alien from the "[[RunningGag Black Lizard Planet]]."
6	** Later on, she briefly [[TheGadfly convinces]] him that an old bucket is his chamber pot.
7	** As the team changes out of their mission clothes, Dorothy tells the rest about a letter she received from a male student, asking her to meet him behind the gymnasium after school. Chise interprets it as a challenge to a duel.
8	** When Ange and Beatrice visit Eric's sister, a Kingdom agent is in the next bed over, listening in. Ange promptly jumps them with a needle offscreen, [[DiscretionShot with nothing but the curtain flailing and the horrified expressions of Beatrice and a random patient in the background to imply what's going on]].
9
10	* Episode 2: When Dorothy meets with Ange, the later comments that she is impressed... that a [[OlderThanTheyLook twenty-year old]] woman is passing herself off as a high schooler. Her class must be very kind...
11	** Moments later, a group of background students walks out onto the roof--to find Dorothy alone, smoking a cigarette. The moment they close the door, Dorothy begins hacking and coughing.
12	** Also, the basic premise of the show, as revealed at the end of the episode. Control has assigned one of its agents to kill the Princess and replace her, as the ultimate high-ranking mole in the Kingdom. Except ten years ago, for ''completely unrelated reasons'', the Princess and a pickpocket traded places on their own accord, and haven't switched back since. The Princess went on to become a spy to get back over the Wall, and somehow manipulated herself into being assigned to the operation -- meaning that Control assigned the Princess to ''kill and replace herself!''
13
14	* Episode 3: The Princess points out that Ange and Dorothy will need an excuse to publicly appear as her friends. Dorothy suggests that the two of them know about the Princess's "secret crossdressing," and later a shared love of whiskey. Ange's suggestion? The Black Lizard Planet. Beatrice swiftly vetoes the suggestions.
15	** While examining the club room's arsenal, Charlotte picks up a fountain pen. Sure enough, it's a gun, and one accidentally-pulled trigger later, the club is down one marble bust.
16	---> '''Dorothy''': [[SarcasmMode Nice work getting the safety off.]]
17
18	* Episode 4: The episode opens with a training exercise for Chise and Beatrice in tracking. When Chise claims that she's already succeeded once, a flashback is shown of her panicking when a police officer walks up behind her, knocking him out with the flat of her blade, and getting dragged away by Ange during the commotion.
19	** The running discussion of what they should call the team. During a desperate drive to complete the mission, Charlotte and Chise are [[SkewedPriorities STILL]] exchanging ideas in the back seat.
20	** During the above drive, Ange directs Dorothy to take a rather... unconventional route, the better to intercept the ship on time.
21	---> '''Ange''': Right at the next stairway.
22	---> '''Dorothy''': You got it.
23	---> '''Beatrice''': Stairway?! But we're in an automobile!
24	---> '''Dorothy''': Don't bite your tongue.
25	---> ''(Cue one very fast and bumpy turn.)''\
26
27	*** Beatrice's screams of alarm prompt Ange to just turn off the poor girl's voicebox, leaving her gaping like a fish.
28	** During the infiltration, Beatrice takes on the voice of one of the facility guards. She forgets to change it back while continuing the team name discussion, using the {{Moe}} cadences and vocabulary of her real voice. The VocalDissonance has even [[TheGadfly Ange]] weirded out.
29	** When the team lands on the ship, Ange suggests they split up: she and Charlotte will head in one direction while the others head in the opposite direction. When they ''actually split'' however, Beatrice is left behind beside the guard Chise knocked unconscious and runs in a small circle near him in her panic before running after the rest of her group.
30	** Immediately after the above, Ange and Charlotte discuss the latter's decision to join the infiltration. Charlotte points out the logic in her reasoning and Ange starts her response with the incredibly out of character retort "Meanie," followed by "you just like to see me suffer."
31
32	* Episode 5: When Ange and Chise discuss their respective origins, Ange once again claims to be from the Black Lizard Planet. The difference here is that [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Chise]] BELIEVES her, throwing Ange for a bit of a loop.
33	** The end of the episode gives us this exchange between Dorothy and Beatrice as the former explains how Chise came to join the team:
34	---> '''Dorothy''': I thought [Lord Horikawa] would consider allying with the Commonwealth.
35	---> '''Beatrice''': When did you s-s-seduce him?!
36	---> '''Dorothy''': You royals have such naughty language.
37
38	* Episode 6: In the pre-opening segment, Dorothy is teaching Beatrice how to pick locks. When Beatrice thanks her, Dorothy replies that the other two (Ange and Chise) weren't much help. It flashes back to Ange trying to teach her.
39	--> '''Ange''': Watch closely.
40	--> She pops the lock in less than a second
41	--> '''Beatrice''': Um, how did you do that?
42	--> '''Ange''': Watch closely. '''(repeats the process)''' See?
43	** When Chise tries to teach her, she simply slashes the lock in half and tells Beatrice to copy her.
44
45	* Episode 7: When Team White Pigeon introduce themselves to the laundry workers, they behave in the fashion that you would expect from them. Then Ange reveals that her cover identity is a LargeHam FormerDelinquent. As it turns out, the other members of the team weren't told what to expect. Dorothy's face is especially gold.
46	** When Dorothy helps secure a group of miners as new customers fro the laundry mill, the miners start happily stripping off their dirty working clothes. The laundry workers' reactions upon seeing this range from being frightened, flustered, and excited.
47
48	* Episode 8: Chise hanging upside down from a tree while spying on their target for the episode. For several days in a row.
49	-->'''Chise''': It's chilly...
50	** As Charlotte and Ange [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments play piano together]] as the episode closes, we see Beatrice fiddling around with a strange gadget that activates and frightens her.
51
52	* Episode 9: Chise's FunnyForeigner antics in the first half of the episode.
53	** Chise lamenting in her letter that she doesn't have the same [[UnusualEuphemism "woman's weapon"]] as [[BuxomBeautyStandard Dorothy]].
54	** When Lily insinuates that the commoners of Team Principal aren't worthy of the Princess' company by suggesting that she reconsider her taste in friends. Charlotte calmly states that she always considered Lily a friend, is she implying that she isn't worthy of her company?
55	** After the duel and before they reveal how it played into that day's mission Chise returns to her room to be greeted with... Sumo.
56
57	* Episode 10: In the midst of a chase, Ange and Dorothy abandon the CoolCar, forcing Beatrice to [[KidsDrivingCars take the wheel]]. Unable to drive, she quickly runs into a snowbank.
58	** Chise shows Princess the makeshift Shishi-Odoshi. When Princess asks what it's supposed to do, Chise realizes that she doesn't know.
59
60	* Episode 12: Dorothy's exasperation at Ange inadvertently messing up her operation.
61	** Beatrice hopping in a little circle.
62	** Ange's reaction when impersonating Charlotte to get into the chapel doesn't work?
63	--->'''Ange''' (completely deadpan, and in her normal voice): [[CarFu Floor it]].
64
65	* Crown Handler, Part 1: Chise crashing a car into the river after shaking a pursuit is chuckle-worthy. The [[OhCrap face]] she makes before it happens really sells the moment.
66
67	* ''Busy Easy Money'' OVA: Dorothy is at a racing track and bets on the lowest-ranked horse. She wins. Wanting to get rid of the money, she makes another random bet and wins ''again''. Chise lampshades that she probably used up all of her luck in doing so.
68	** Dorothy then asks the others what they'd each do if they had £1,000. Beatrice answers that she'd eat sweets non-stop, though Chise claims she'd eat herself to death if she did. Chise says she would build a Japanese castle, but her dream is shattered by the fact that £1,000 would not afford such a thing. Princess says she would use the money to travel to the moon, which is laughed off as ridiculous.
69	** Chise's description of a Shachihoko involves her taking a pose akin to it, which ends up both cute and funny.
70	** Shortly afterward, Ange reveals that the bag Dorothy brought in had only £724, prompting Dorothy to nervously reveal that she actually won £4724! The others call her out on this as she's left a stammering wreck. Her expressions really sell the moment.
