Moment Subpages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.

This may be one of the most intense Sentai seasons, but it doesn't mean it's free of humor.

  • Episode 1:
  • Episode 2:
  • Episode 3:
    • The whole Training from Hell scene at the start.
    • How does Gai kills time? Flirting with policewomen and, when they don't talk to him, running red lights so they'll talk with him. He then tries to get a date when they stop him to fine him... At least until Ryu cockblocks him. Even moreso, his line of cockblocking just screams of Ho Yay for a guy who was definitely straight and just coping at the loss of his girlfriend.
      "Behave yourself, Gai. I'll date you."
    • During the battle against Faucet Dimension, Raita throws a boulder in his face, hurting it... And then the boulder falls on its foot.
  • Episode 7 - Ryu's grandma foils Maria's plan - by trapping her with a mirror.
  • Ramen Jigen from Episode 10. Just seeing a ramen-cup kaijin run around was crazy. Also bonus points for the jingle sung by both Rika Kishida (Kaori's actress) and Sayuri Uchida (Ako's actress).
    • To turn it up to eleven, there's also the fact that Raita ate that ramen and became crazy angry and impatient about everything, basically becoming a Sentai version of Leeroy Jenkins - he shoves Ryu out of the way to call the Jet Machines, he rants about wanting to form Jet Icarus already... and eventually when Jet Icarus is complete, he had to be tied up in the cockpit so he wouldn't interfere and do something stupid.
    • Before this, though is the fact that right as the Jetmen are about to blast him to bits with the Bird Bomber, the monster just falls down and dies of a previously established Weaksauce Weakness.
    • Worth mentioning that the episode in question is written by Naruhisa Arakawa, known mainly for making funny storylines in the history of Super Sentai, and this is his first written episode in his career, no less.
    • The Jetman tribute in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger implies that the Ako-chan Ramen business somehow, despite Ramen Jigen-induced side effects, and against all other odds, continued to thrive, or at least was revived, after this episode, and even twenty years on. Even funnier, you learn this in the otherwise somber Grave-Marking Scene where Gai's surviving teammates have left offerings from each of them. No points for guessing what Ako's offering was, meaning she, likely during her idol career, appropriated it for her image.
  • Episode 11 as well - the episode with the Vending Machine Jigen. Seeing Ryu being a lazy ass = LOL. Extra LOLs for seeing 'Goody-Two-Shoes' Gai. Not falling far behind are Jerkass Raita who fails at being like Gai, spoiled Kaori who can't go a scene without mentioning money or her status in some way, and overly-emotional Ako who ponders on the short lives of flowers and cries if she isn't saying how sorry she is.
  • Dryer Jigen from Episode 28 in spades.
  • Episode 36. Idiot Ball gets dropped on Ryū as he tried to look for a stray monkey... then Gai turns him into an Accidental Pervert.
