Go To

1With its quirky cast known for getting into situation after situation of [[HilarityEnsues hilarious mishaps]], ''Webcomic/{{Sakana}}'' is practically made of this trope. It would probably be less work to list the strips that aren't funny.
2
3----
4* ''Every'' moment that has something to do with Taro [[BloodyHilarious chopping up fish]]. One of them involved Jiro asking Taro to watch the stall for him for a moment, advising Taro to be "personable", while Taro is holding a [[NightmareFuel headless and still bleeding fish and a bloody, long butcher knife]] in his hands, looking potentially AxCrazy.
5* It's a guarantee that any time Jan appears, it will lead to him and the rest of the cast struggling to understand what the other is saying, with varying success.
6* Taro's [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/003 introduction.]] EstablishingCharacterMoment at its finest.
7* [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/011 IT'S]] [[EnsembleDarkhorse MISTER EEL HEAD]]!
8* Jiro trying to call "Cashier Girl" but somehow [[EpicFail failing epically]].
9* The RunningGag of Jiro constantly forgetting to get "Cashier Girl"'s name, and the AtomicFBomb he releases once when [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/017 he realizes that he forgot again.]]
10** Just when it's revealed that Yuudai knows her name, and is about to tell it to Taro, [[NoIndoorVoice Taisei]] interrupts them.
11* [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/058 This]]. Just...this.
12--> '''Taisei:''' You could be like "Hi! [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya I'm Jiro Sakana!]] ''And I'm here to '''ravish''' you~"''
13* CringeComedy [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/060 at it's finest]].
14* Taro as a teenager is always hilarious. Especially the time when Jiro really wanted to date that Yuki girl.
15-->'''Jiro:''' [[LoveConfession Wi-Will you go out with me?]]
16-->'''Yuki:''' [[{{Jerkass}} Not if you were the last boy on-]]
17-->'''Taro:''' DATE MY BROTHER [[DisproportionateRetribution OR I'LL THROW YOU DOWN THE STAIRS!]]
18** [[spoiler: This becomes a BrickJoke when we later find out [[ComedicSociopathy he really did it.]]]]
19** Or how about [[http://sakana-sakana-sakana.deviantart.com/art/SS1-Taro-is-the-best-bro-166486573 the time when]] he gave Jiro [[MundaneMadeAwesome the most epic]] ManHug ever, [[spoiler: while casually telling Taisei that he will beat him [Taisei] up?]]
20* [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/137 "When did I buy these donuts?"]]
21* [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/147 Business-Mode Taisei.]] The individual reactions are what sells it: Angry Lady is extremely confused and maybe mildly horrified, Yuudai can only give him a dumbfounded stare (with the smallest hint of [[CrushBlush a blush]])... and Taro is [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight completely unfazed.]]
22-->'''Taro:''' He does this when we won't let him watch cartoons.
23* [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/195 BAP.]]
24* Jiro and Taro discuss [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/248 Yuudai's origins.]]
25* [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/300 This strip]] deserves a mention for [[spoiler: Yuudai's dramatic spittake at seeing Shigeru shirtless. And him falling into the boxes afterwards.]]
26* After having unbelievable amounts of suspense built up surrounding what exactly Yuudai drunk-texted [[spoiler:Arata]] on Saturday night, we finally get to see [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/308 the text itself.]] And it is '''''glorious.'''''
27-->'''Yuudai:''' Uh... okay. I see why you... wanted to clarify the drunk part...
28** [[spoiler: [[TheReveal The fact that]] [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/311312 it was actually meant for]] ''Taisei'' only adds to the hilarity.]]
29** The real kicker is that according to the AltText, Jiro apparently reads the emoticons ''out loud. Character by character.''
30* Yuudai's ImagineSpot on [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/337 page 337.]] That is all. The use of IntentionalEngrishForFunny and StylisticSuck is brief, but so unexpected that you can't help but laugh at it. Keep in mind that this is coming from ''[[MeanBoss Yuudai's]]'' imagination.
31* After finishing up a surprisingly heartfelt conversation about Yuudai giving at least being Taisei's friend another shot, we get this hilariously middle school-esqueexchange:
32-->'''Jiro:''' Yeah, uh... isn't this your stop?
33-->'''Yuudai:''' *smiles and puts his hand on Jiro's shoulder* Nope. *shoves Jiro out the train car's doors without warning*
34-->'''Jiro:''' '''''YUUDAI!!!'''''
35* Chapter 15 gives us a glimpse into Taisei's life at work, where he takes on a completely different, far more business-savvy persona... [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/341 although the mask seems to slip on occasion.]]
36** Ms. Sasaki, one of Taisei's many coworkers who's interested in him, tries to meet up with him in his office to ask him out... only to be greeted by his brother [[TheQuietOne Genkei's]] [[http://www.sakana-comic.com/comic/346 ominous blank stare.]] She ends up having to excuse herself after having the two brothers in the same room proves to be a bit much.
37* Jiro, scrambling to find a date for Sango for his and Chie's group date, tries to get [[FunnyForeigner Jan]] on board with the plan. Jan's response?
38--> '''Jan:''' *quietly picks up a Japanese-to-German dictionary* ..."ItsNotYouItsMe."
39--> '''Jiro:''' *[[HeadDesk headdesks]]*
40** And later:
41---> '''Jiro:''' B-But everything's gonna be okay! I-I can help you translate and stuff... ahah... you can count on me!
42---> '''Jan:''' *[[{{Wingdinglish}} barely intelligible]]* But you can hardly understand me anyway!!
