* While SNK and BlindIdiotTranslation go together like Chang and Choi, one particular win quote that Ash has is a full-on ''SuicideDare.'' Considering how he debuted in [[DarkerAndEdgier 2003]], it's to be expected, but if it isn't being concerning, it's being [[CrossesTheLineTwice morbidly hilarious]] (and [[HilariousInHindsight in]] [[WebVideo/LowTierGod hindsight]], at that). Both because it's [[{{Troll}} Ash Crimson]] we're talking about and also because of Ash's particular winpose in ''[='=]03'' making him look like a ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JoJo]]'' character.

Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


** The Art of Fighting Team ending has Yuri being asked by an interviewer about what would be the ideal husband. Behind her, Robert is holding a ring box, working up the nerve to ask for her hand in marriage. [[OverprotectiveDad Takuma]] notices this and stomps Robert's foot before he can say anything. Robert responds in kind and they go on stepping on each other for the rest of the scene. Meanwhile, Yuri is trying to pair up King with her brother Ryo, who seems oblivious to both this and the squabbling behind them.

* Several of ''2002: UM'''s endings are comedy gold:
** The '97 Special Team: Hey, look, [[DistractedByTheSexy Blue Mary sunbathing in a bikini]]! Never mind Billy doing his laundry, or Yamazaki getting his toe nipped by a crab...
** The Asian Triple Alliance Team: Why would [[OddFriendship Jhun and Shingo ally with Lin]] to begin with? Turns out they've set him up for a prank - namely, sticking a wig on him.
** The NESTS Bosses Team: Krizalid and Clone Zero's panels are rather dignified and badass-looking... and they're juxtaposed with a chibi Original Zero (complete with chibi pet Glaugan) and Igniz holding a pair of binoculars, scared shitless by a [[VideoGame/MetalSlug Mars Person]]. [[MoodDissonance The jokes write themselves]].

* [[PluckyComicRelief Shingo]] manages to be a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments bundle of joy]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and laughter]] in just about every game he's in. Between the occasional FacePlant after his Oboroguruma (which is outright ''weaponized'' in ''2003'' and ''XI''), the fact that he carries a book that contains all of the Kusanagi techniques he's learned on him (as discussed right above), and the signature '''[[LargeHam SHINGO]] [[GratuitousEnglish KIIICKU]]''', it's hard [[ActuallyPrettyFunny not to crack even a smirk]] whenever he's on the screen. The cherry on top, though? His voice actor is none other than '''Creator/TakehitoKoyasu''' himself. The memes just write themselves!

** If Yamazaki loses a round, he spends the rest of the rounds face-down with his butt in the air. If his teammate wins a round, he gives a thumbs-up while keeping the same pose.
** Chris spends the fight listening to music and not paying attention at all. While his pose does change when his teammate lands or takes a hit, he doesn't look up until the round is over.
** Iori spends the fight with his back turned. He only glances over his shoulder in annoyance if his teammate takes a hit or loses the round.
