* When Motoko is attacked on the highway, the first mook in the ttruck has a big grin on his face. He keeps the grin even as he's shot in the head and collapses, all within five seconds.

* During the flashback to how Motoko and her boyfriend first met, she holds up her prosthetic hand, contemplating it, and he walks up and takes it in his. The face she makes in response to his forwardness can only be described as being an [[FlatWhat Angry What]].

* The [[OnTheNext next episode previews]] are all narrated by the Logicoma, turning into pure hilarity due to its GenkiGirl and MotorMouth nature and the fact that it finds everything about Motoko to be purely fascinating.

!! The Movie
* A Logicoma comes to the rescue, shielding The Major from enemy gunfire and ejecting Batou from the passenger pod they ''[[BrickJoke finally]]'' managed to get installed in the things, sparing the team from the continued indignity of having to cling onto the exterior for dear life.
* Something about the sight of three Logicomas dogpiling on a ''much'' bigger spider tank, and having neglible success in subduing it before getting tossed off and sent fleeing for cover.
* The film ends with the team on a mission: [[SeriousBusiness 24/7 observation of]] the CherryBlossoms. The Major chews out Togusa for treating this like it's some sort of ''vacation'' (note: it's literally the team all lounging around watching Cherry Blossoms, [[TruthInTelevision which is in fact a popular social ritual in Japan]]). Aramaki calls them with a mission, which the Major tries to blow off, before she is reminded that since ''he'' now gets their budget for them, they'll do what ''he'' says, [[MythologyGag finally establishing Aramaki's relationship with the Major's team as seen in previous iterations.]]

** Just the fact that as she's in the middle of offering Togusa a spot on the team, he suddenly cuts her off to answer his phone and immediately begins spazzing out, jogging in place out of raw excitement while she stares at him, gobsmacked.

** What makes it even funnier, is that Batou doesn't drop the smart-ass grin until ''after'' he's raised his fist and right before he slugs himself, he evidently doesn't realize there's anything weird in what he's doing.

*Early in the OVA, everyone is discussing the difficulty of supporting their prosthetic needs, talking about the Major's unsuccessful love life while also remarking that a Section 9 op isn't exactly a job for someone with a relationship. By the end of the episode, just as the Major extends an invitation to the non-cyborg Togusa, he gets a call from his wife that she's about to give birth. The Major is stunned.
