Funny / Sami Zayn

• While everyone knows that El Generico and Sami Zayn are different people, the original "Hug it Out" is wall-to-wall hilarious. Bryan Danielson ends up Corpsing multiple times, Generico is absolutely aghast at the signature Danielson chant ("you're gonna get your fucking head kicked in!"), the crowd decides to start a "SAY YOU'RE SORRY!" chant to Bryan, and eventually, Bryan apologizes and hugs Generico. Generico's body language just makes the entire segment.
• "I EAT CHILDREN!"
• Generico wins the PWG Heavyweight Championship in a ladder match . . . and the ceiling goes into business for itself. Generico tries to pull the belt down, and ends up getting brained by the ceiling panel. And even when he gets the belt, it still won't come off the panel, so he's holding the belt AND the panel up afterward. Even Generico's opponent can be seen hiding his face in the canvas from laughing so hard.
• In several episodes of "Kevin's Weekend Escapades", there is a very familiar ginger-bearded guy hanging about. Episode seven ends with Kevin asking Sami for directions and Sami blowing him off. A later episode has Sami knocking on the window of Kevin's car, asking about a bus, and Kevin yelling at him and calling him a douchebag before corpsing.
• The time that he rolled his eyes at Maryse yelling at him in French and shut her up with her own hand gesture◊.
• Sami's Up, Up, Down, Down Rocket League tournament appearance (teaming with Becky against Neville&Sasha, Cesaro&Bayley, and AJ&Charlotte) was funny all on its own, with his "Battery Man Excuse Counter" out in full force. It becomes 10x more Hilarious in Hindsight when you realize that we got a preview of heel!Sami and didn't realize how close heel!Sami is to actual Sami.
• Babyface Sami's ska-dancing to his theme music was kind of adorably charming. Heel Sami's dancing takes that charm and blows it out the window - heel Sami's dancing is hilariously over-the-top.
• Making Becky Lynch absolutely lose it in a post-Mixed Match Challenge video. He blames the WWE Universe for their loss. Or the birthday cake. Yes, definitely the cake, from a local bakery.
• Would you look at that, Kevin, it's the police. No, there's no other context, Sami's just very judgey.
• On their first night back on Raw, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn join The Miz and the Miztourage in the ring, celebrating obnoxiously the fact that Kevin and Sami have gotten new contracts from Stephanie McMahon. When Raw GM Kurt Angle questions it, Sami pulls out the nerdiest pair of glasses you've ever seen and quotes Stephanie's email reinstating him and Kevin.
• "The Sami and Kevin Show" has replaced Miz TV on Raw, and their first guest is Kurt Angle. The guys can't resist tweaking Kurt over his kayfabe slip-up of a few weeks ago:
  Sami: You have five kids, right?
  Kevin: No, he has six. You forgot one. You forgot Jason Jordan.
  Sami: No big deal. For years, Kurt forgot about him too.
• During a house show in Malaga on the 2018 European tour, Sami shares some deep thoughts about Roman Reigns.
• Sami's appearances on Kevin's Paris video, including his ridiculous dancing (which must be seen to be believed), his deep love of Samoa Joe's theme song, and trash-talking Bobby Lashley.
• Sami returned from over ten months of rehab at 10:01 pm on the Raw after Wrestlemania 35... and was so hyped for his entrance (again!) that he tripped and fell on the ramp. He played it off, but pretty funny.
• New heel!Sami doesn't care for the WWE Universe, so he walks out, graciously allows them to sing his theme song, and then tells them it's not good enough and leaves.
• A spit-take worthy moment is in the post-Stomping Grounds interview where Kevin Owens gets confused because Sarah Schreiber is not Renee Young, and Sami comments that she's "the poor-man's Renee".
  • He also gets Kevin to corpse by using the word "boo-boo".
• He is worth a hundred — no, a THOUSAND Eva Marie's.
• Sami as Shinsuke Nakamura's Translator Buddy has been low-key hilarious - with the King of Strong Style looking like he may be regretting his decision to hang out with Sami - but it's reached peak funny with this gif of Sami acting like Shinsuke's just shot AJ Styles instead of kneeing him in the head.
• Despite sitting out much of the year due to pandemic-related reasons, Sami apparently still follows WWE. He's not only maintained that he's still the Intercontinental champion and relentlessly trolled AJ Styles, he also had this hilariously deadpan response to Kevin Owens' admission that he's sacrificed friendships for his career:
  Sami: Can confirm.
• Honestly, the 10/30/20 episode of Talking Smack was a CMOF for Kayla Braxton, dressing up as Sami, complete with a very red fake beard, cargo pants, and Intercontinental Championship. She roasts actual Sami incessantly, getting him to crack up on-camera. He claims he's only laughing because he's angry, and can't manage to start his interview with the Street Profits, but it's so funny even Kevin Owens comes over to heckle.
  Kayla: I'm SORRY! Sorry, I was drinking my fair trade coffee, it was grown on the base of Kilimanjaro, none of that Starbucks crap. I need my water bottle, it's very expensive-
  Sami: How dare you - kind of accurately - make fun of me!
• Sami interacting with controversial Youtuber Logan Paul? Cringe Comedy. Sami dancing to Logan's entrance music like a drunk uncle at a Middle Eastern wedding? Hilarious.
  • Pick a "Dancin' Sami" gif. Any "Dancin' Sami" gif◊.
  • Dancing Sami is so memetastic, Sami finally bit the bullet and created a t-shirt to benefit Sami for Syria◊.
• The potential for comedy gold when you incorporate Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass crew is through the roof, and the entire Wrestlemania 38 match was a riot. Highlights include:
  • Getting slapped by a giant hand.
  • Wee Man bodyslamming Sami, complete with Hogan-Andre style pop from the crowd.
  • Taking a bowling ball to the groin.
  • And finally, ending up pinned in a comically oversized Mouse Trap.
• His whole tenure as The Heart of the Bloodline qualifies as this, from calling Logan Paul “a giant number two” to coining the term “ucey”. What makes it even better is how, despite being the stoic monster heel, Roman spends half of Sami’s time on the mic off to the side trying (and usually failing) to not laugh at whatever shenanigans Sami is up to. Even Jey, the one guy who openly doesn't trust Sami, has been struggling not to crack a smile.
  • The "feeling ucey" promo really must be seen to be fully enjoyed. Roman has been in full Final Boss mode for almost two years and nothing makes him crack... except for Sami. It becomes even more hilarious if you understanding Bilingual Bonus. While Sami is statying "ucey" as Jey isn't being "brotherly", Ucey sounds similar to a Tongpa word being "shit". So to the Bloodline, Sami saying that Jey hasn't been acting like a piece of shit.
