Go To

  • Episode 2: Shiro Amada gets stranded in the jungle on his first mission on Earth, and is accidentally left behind by his team. After a night of struggling through the swampy terrain, the next morning he comes across a cute redheaded girl (Kiki) skinny-dipping nearby. Shiro's reaction is to kick back and enjoy the show, commenting thus:
    • And then Kiki is distracted from her relaxing swim when she hears a communicator chirping, complete with a quick cut to Shiro desperately trying to shut the thing off. Kiki calmly swims over to the far bank and produces a handgun which she unloads in Shiro's direction to chase him off.
  • Episode 3, Zaku Helo pilot:"Die!!" *notices incoming missile* "aaaaaAAAUUGHHHH-"
  • Episode 8: One of the examples of a Black Comedy: Baresto and the other guy gets evaporated by a Zaku's thruster flame.
  • Episode 9:
    • As Eledore goes to save Karen, he has Michel take the hovertank over the lake and scream to get the attention of the Acguy. After they deal with the Acguy Eledore and Karen share a touching moment...and cut to Michel who is till driving back and forth over the lake screaming at the top of his lungs as he doesn't realize they dealt with the problem.
    • Because of the damage to her suit, Karen is ordered to go with the hovertank to the rendezvous. When asked what they do if they encounter the enemy (as her suit doesn't have a head or any working monitors) they're told by Shiro to just run. Which results in this response:
    Karen: Aye, sir. I will use my state of the art mobile suit to run away as fast as I can!
  • When Shiro briefly puts Eledore in command of the 08th MS Team so he can use the truck's acoustic sounding equipment to locate Norris Packard's Gouf.
    Michel: Oh God help us...
    Eledore: YOU'VE GOT SOMETHIN' TO SAY?
  • The end credits of the show is a Leave the Camera Running shot of Shiro relaxing and reading a book, while various characters get up to various hijinks both in the background and in the foreground before Shiro finally realises he's being filmed and chucks his book at the camera.
