---

General

• Ren's manly baritone voice can be hilariously incongruous if you're not expecting it.
• Any time Aoba goes into Deadpan Snarker mode. The event that causes him to act so is often a funny moment, too.
• Whenever Aoba calls Koujaku a hippo.
• Every time Koujaku and Noiz butt heads.
• Clear's general misunderstanding of how things like "doors" work causes a lot of humorous moments, particularly his first scene, where Aoba finds Clear face-down on the street after jumping off a building to come find him.
• Akushima. Especially when he turns his megaphone into a giant laser machine gun.

Common Route

• "I'm grateful to you five million times more, baby".
• There's a scene early on in the game were Noiz breaks into Aoba's room, and as they're arguing, Koujaku ends up with them too, and Clear joins as well by rising up from the bottom of Aoba's window and basically breaking in. This almost seems like it could've been a serious scene, but then Granny breaks up the fight, and they all end up in the kitchen discussing their dispute over donuts. And Let's not forget Clear's "MAAAAAAA-SUUUUUU-TAAAAAA!"
• When all the main characters discuss about Tae's whereabouts, Clear says that he knows the area's layout. Due to his behavior, none of them believe him. Clear notices this and is clearly dismayed, and draws a map of said area — which looks like a child's scribble. However, when Noiz confirms it to be actually accurate, Clear is all the more chagrined that they didn't believe him.

Koujaku's Route

• As if Koujaku getting all flustered and nervous when he confessed to Aoba isn't funny enough, Koujaku gets a nosebleed in the middle of sex, much to Aoba's amusement and Koujaku's embarrassment.
• The entire scene of Aoba and Koujaku arguing about the latter keeping the cut pieces of the former's hair, with the both of them become more and more embarrassed till they end up saying nothing, with their faces beet red.
• Aoba imitating one of Koujaku's many fangirls in the drama CD.

Noiz's Route

• During a walk in the Green Playground, Noiz purchases various types of food, not knowing what they are. When Aoba asks what he's been eating, Noiz nonchalantly replies he's been living off delivery pizza and pasta for the last few years.
  • As shown in the page image: the second Aoba looks away, Noiz steals one of his takoyaki with the most serious face in history.
• Near the end of Noiz's route, it turns out that Mio, of the three bratty kids, has developed a crush on Noiz. The way she shows this is by handing him a love letter written in crayon, and then angrily saying that he didn't have to read it. Both Noiz and Aoba are clearly at a loss.

Mink's Route

• The scene is anything but funny, but nevertheless — when Mink coldly wonders why Aoba cares so much about his AllMate since they're just machines... even though his own AllMate is greatly decorated in a manner that could only be done by him, counts as quite the Hypocritical Humor.
• Mink's utter annoyance at Akushima's persistent attempts to apprehend him.
• Equally funny and heartwarming: in the drama CD, Aoba prepares a special dinner for Mink. Mink notices this, and Aoba makes him guess why. Before he could even give a hint, Mink immediately answers that it's the anniversary of a year passing since Aoba's arrival. Aoba is disappointed that he guessed it right so quickly, but then points out that he could only know if he remembered it too, with Mink immediately changing the topic.

Clear's Route

• Clear tried to make Aoba feel better by preparing him food... while wearing nothing but an apron (and his gas mask). Aoba is completely unimpressed that he gives Clear a Roundhouse Kick for it.
  • In re:code, he's not completely naked and wears a pair of boxers, but the scene remains just as hilarious.
• Clear calls Aoba at Platinum Jail, having found a secret entrance to Oval Tower. Aoba follows a map provided... only to find it was actually a place named "Overr Tower".
• Aoba punishing Clear for making him look at a mirror while they were having sex, by pinching his nose. The noise Clear makes when he does so is hilarious.
• In the drama CD, Clear attempts to impress Aoba by trying to act as the "perfect lover"... and acts completely out of character by trying to appear manly and suave, then when exiting the shop in said manner, accidentally hits his face against the door. Needless to say, Aoba is left dumbfounded.
• In the following track, Aoba suggests that Clear call him by his name without using any honorifics. Clear's completely embarrassed reaction is both adorable and hilarious.

Secret Route

• Aoba's constant irritation of Ren being taller than him in Rhyme and in real life as Sei despite Sei only being 1 cm taller!
• As Aoba and Ren start to get frisky, Aoba asks Ren if he could... ahem, take charge, although the attempt doesn't last long as Ren can't restrain himself. All of this is capped off with Aoba's remark: "I failed to be the 'top'."
• Ren may be human now, but he has been a dog for the longest time. This causes a few problems when he and Aoba head outside, as he unconsciously starts sniffing things or holding objects with his mouth, much like a dog would.
• When Aoba bumps into Yoshie, he unsuccessfully tries to excuse himself out of the conversation before Clara suddenly asks where Ren is, with the ex-AllMate in question getting more and more uncomfortable. When she starts to suspect that Ren may be the human accompanying Aoba, Ren immediately hightails it.

Other

April Fools Drama

• Noiz and Mink acting in an unusually defensive manner when asked if they have someone they like, with Ren preventing them from leaving by sprawling himself on their laps. Strangely enough, the tactic works.
• Clear does his segment called "Attack! Dinner at the Neighbors", where Clear will invade someone's house and investigate what's for dinner tonight, the house where Clear will be invaded is.... Mizuki's. Of course, hilarious moments ensue while Mizuki gets more and more frustrated and humiliated.
  • Mizuki sputters loudly in utter shock when he found out that Clear is invading his house. He then wonders how Clear knows where he lives and how Clear is going to open his door since he doesn't have the keys... only for Clear to open it without any issues.
    Mizuki: HOW THE HELL—
    Clear: How indeed! It shall remain one of humanity's greatest mysteries! Well then, let's just go right in, shall we~!
  • After Clear goes inside Mizuki's home, Mizuki begs Aoba to not let Clear go further inside his house. Then, Clear says that Mizuki is dark so he's going to turn on the lights. And finds out that Mizuki's house is a complete mess. The disappointment and bewilderment in Clear's voice is just all too audible.
  • While checking Mizuki's room, Clear finds tattoo magazines under Mizuki's bed, much to the latter's embarrassment and annoyance. Clear then searches through his fridge and finds potato salad from the convenience store, canned peaches, and alcohols.
    Aoba: Uhh... yellow peaches, really? What are you, a patient at the hospital?
    Mizuki: I-I like the way they taste, okay?!
  • Clear then eats all the food, including the canned peaches, which makes Mizuki depressed. He then gets one last shock when he learns that Clear also helped himself and cleaned his house.
• Koujaku's segment is named "Lookin' Good Today — Midorijima Fashion Check!" where he comments on the fashion of ladies' clothing. And the lady who will be commented by Koujaku is.... Yoshie, which shocks Koujaku a bit, as can be heard in his nervous stammer. Aoba then gives him Yoshie's photo and telling him that Yoshie is hearing the radio. Koujaku then struggles to give some nice comments about Yoshie, and as a result of his "smooth" talk, he gets a message from Yoshie asking if he was free tonight. Of course, Koujaku rejects Yoshie by saying he has plans, and he says it under one rushed breath.
  • Before ending the scene, Aoba playfully teases Koujaku by changing the segment to "Love Attack on Koujaku", which does not go unnoticed.
    Koujaku: Hey, when did the segment name change?
• Noiz advertises some products in the most unenthusastic and monotone voice ever, much to Aoba's annoyance.
• Noiz modifying Ren's voice that he sounds a lot more high-pitched than his default deep voice, taking his usual Vocal Dissonance to even more ridiculous levels.

CHiRAL Night 10th Anniversary

• The event has Aoba make his introduction by falling from the sky above. And it doesn't just happen once; after Clear, Ren, Asato, and Zenya's conversation; Aoba falls from the sky and complains "Why do I have to fall like this?".
