Funny / Pucca

• The running gag (which is sadly cut from the American version but is still on the DVD version and later kept in the official Youtube videos containing the episodes) of Dada peeing his pants.
• In "Funny Love Eruption":
  • The opening number:
    It's the Mooncake Mountain Taming Festival
    Where the fun and treats do thrill us,
    We give mooncakes to Volcano God,
    In return, he doesn't kill us!
  • The chefs fall off the ladder, and the moon topper is about to hit the ground. Dada catches it, then proceeds to trip while standing still.
  • And doing it again after Garu brought back a new one.
• The fact that Santa is a recurring character and is doing odd jobs every episode.
  
• Garu's increasingly insane efforts to get rid of the flower in "Flower Power", even going as far as to strap it to some dynamite and doing an insane-happy dance when he thinks it's gone.
  
• In "The Usual Ching", Evil Ching defaces a poster of Master Soo and gives him things like devil horns and a mustache. Cue the real Master Soo coming over and looking exactly like the poster.
  
• In "Slam Bam Birthday Bash", Garu accidentally pulls out a toilet plunger instead of his sword. Tobe laughs at him and says that "his shame is so deep it will be felt by his ancestors". Then it pans out to show that Tobe and his entire ninja army are in their underpants. They retreat quickly.
  • The gag with the toilet plunger comes from two scenes that were edited out of the American version of Pucca and Garu stopping by Abyo and Ching's houses and their dads almost blab about her surprise party, So Garu sticks a plunger in their mouths and tries to act all innocent.
    • In the same scene, Pucca destroys the police station and it shows Officer Bruce on the toilet.
  • When Garu is trying to find Pucca after she runs off upset, he's on a cliff near what looks like a waterfall, then it reveals that Pucca is on a cliff higher up and the waterfall is actually her Ocular Gushers pouring down the cliff.
• In "Scenes From a Maul" Pucca and Garu end up in wedding outfits with Garu kneeling on one knee in front of her with a present that happened to be an engagement ring, a cake, flowers, rice throwing and other wedding stuff. Garu actually moves in to give her the ring...then Santa comes and takes it back, ruining the moment.
  • During a chase sequence, Jean-Pierre snatches a bowl of rice from Ssoso. Ssoso, none the wiser, just digs into the table hard enough to splinter off pieces, which he then eats with his chopsticks.
• Some of the dreams in "Dream On":
  • Won dreams of Ching hatching into chicks, Ching dreams of Won hatching into a bunch of tiny Chings.
  • Abyo is ripping his shirt off over and over again.
  • Tobe's ninjas apparently dream of playing the banjo, a snail on a brick, and a donkey's butt with flies around it.
    • Pucca putting the queen headpiece on Tobe before he wakes up.
      
• In "Tis The Season of Revenge", Black Powder is explaining his backstory when Red Lantern sends him flying and he gets eaten by a whale.
  Black Powder: And let me tell you, it was no picnic inside that whale. (Shows him having a picnic with some skeletons) Would you like some tea? (Flashback ends) Well, it was kind of a picnic.
• "Secret Santa" has Garu fanboying over going to sit on Santa's lap, even though he and everyone else sees him just about every day.
  
• In "Ninjitsu for Dummies", Abyo trains with what he thinks is the ancient ninja master's manual, when in reality it is a book Pucca made for Garu that mixes fighting and kissing. The results are Abyo kissing a punching bag and almost kissing Tobe. The moves have to be seen to be believed.
• In "Misplaced Face" Abyo runs around without a face in his underpants (in the uncut he was naked and had a censor bar) for basically the entire episode.
  • Some of the things his face goes through count as well. He got stuck UNDER SANTA'S BUTT.
  • He finally gets his face back... but it's upside down. Ching spins her head upside down to kiss him.
  • In the completed cut, the faceless Abyo is instead completely naked throughout some of the episode, though he's thankfully covered by a Censor Box. At one point, however, Ching pulls him offscreen too fast and the box flies off and hits Pucca in the face. She quickly pulls it off and gags.
• In "Noodle to the Stars" One of the zombies sees Garu and friends heading for their base.
  Zombie: (makes zombie noises)
  Muji: If you have something to say, say it.
  Zombie: (suddenly has a cup of tea and speaking in a British accent) I say, space ninja Garu is approaching.
• In "Ninjasaurus", The gang is stuck in prehistoric times and an asteroid is heading for them. It doesn't do anything when it finally hits and Abyo wonders what killed the dinosaurs if the asteroid didn't. Abyo sneezes and all of the dinosaurs begin sneezing too. They all died because of a sneeze.
• In "Unfortunate Cookies", Tobe makes an evil fortune cookie for Garu and asks one of his ninjas to read it. He does so and explodes afterwards. Another ninja reads it and does the same. This repeats until only one is left and Tobe tells him that he probably shouldn't read it. The ninja's curiosity gets the better of him and he explodes too.
  • At the end when Garu eats the cookie and throws away the fortune, Tobe angrily reads it to him.
    Tobe: "He who reads this shall explode." There! That's all you had to — (Oh, Crap! look on his face and then he explodes.)
• In "On Thin Ice", Tobe is trying to fire a torpedo at Garu, only to find that the torpedo shoot is filled with clothes. He tells his ninjas that it is not a laundry shoot and to wait until he is done to fire one. They mishear him and think he said "Fire one" and launch a torpedo while he is still in there.
• Pucca throws a movie reel away and it ends up taking a bus, getting on an airplane, landing in a lady's bedroom, the husband bursts in thinking it’s a case of cheating, it gets chased down the street by the lady's husband, gets back on a plane, and ends up falling on the head of one of Tobe's ninjas in the same theater.
• Tobe and his ninjas have infiltrated a hospital in disguise as a doctor and nurses. A nurse mistakes Tobe for a real doctor and has him do things such as remove a boil and operate on Santa who for some reason has a candy cane, a cookie and a snow globe in him.
  • One of the ninjas is shown eating the candy cane in the next scene.
  • Garu hides in a room and Tobe and his ninjas follow. However, a woman is giving birth in there and they witness it and are completely horrified. What the doctor says makes it even better.
    Doctor: Congratulations! It's a little ninja!
• Pucca calls some aliens to abduct Tobe and they do so and then return him in a tutu.
• Tobe throws a boulder at Garu and it ends up hitting Pucca instead. However, she is completely unharmed and the boulder shatters when it hits her head.
  Tobe: I always knew she was a hard-headed woman.
• The first disguise that Tobe's ninjas accidentally dress him in at the beginning of "Ninja License".
• Ringring's failed attempts to sabotage Pucca in "Little Miss Sooga". Only for them to make Pucca win each challenge.
  • Master Soo sees all of the sandbags on Pucca and compliments her on her pretty hat, then asks Ringring why she doesn't have a pretty hat.
  • A barrel with Pucca inside rolls on the stage and Abyo has this to say:
    Abyo: Man, I sure hope there's a monkey in there!
• In "Cat Scratch Fever", Abyo runs over Tobe while dressed as Tobe. The following line is doubly funny when one learns Lee Tockar voiced both characters.
  Tobe: Did I just run myself over?
  • In the same episode, when Mio saves Garu from falling off a cliff, he accidentally pulls up his bodysuit and reveals his butt. Apparently Garu doesn't wear underwear...
• The running gag of everything being poisonous in "Garu Down Under". Including emus, a eucalyptus tree and an electric fence.
  • The Australian guy telling Garu not to touch the tree, then proceeds to throw him at it.
  • Garu in a highchair with a bib and rattle and looking incredibly pissed off.
• Pucca goes overboard with her sewing in "Woolen Warrior" and ends up using things like Master Soo's beard or Abyo's pants, which ends with him naked.
  
• Master Soo sends Garu on an important mission to deliver a urn for his brother's birthday. After fighting off Tobe and enduring things like tipping trains or rollercoaster tracks, Garu finally delivers it... and it's a can of snakes gag.
• In "Pucca Goes Dutch" Tobe is turned into a hippie.
• Tobe's account of what "really" happened in "Trial by Fury", where he portrays Garu as a comically stereotypical villain and himself as an innocent young boy.
  • Garu is called to the stand and it cuts to after he finishes and Master Soo says "Yeesh, I thought he would never shut up!"
    
• In "Chop Chewie", when everyone is panicking because there are no more chopsticks and they can't eat noodles, Dada finds a fork and suggests that they use it. Everyone laughs at him.
• From "Chef-Napped":
  Officer Bruce: They've been chef napped!
  Garu, Abyo, Ching and Pucca: (all gasp one by one)
  Officer Bruce: Over.
  Garu, Abyo, Ching and Pucca: (all gasp one by one again.)
  • The four heroes are trying to look for clues, and Abyo ends up finding one...a laser pen. The reactions on Pucca, Garu, and Ching's faces are just hilarious.
    Ching: We’re not finding any clues.
    Abyo: Fortunately, we secret agents always carry the latest in hi-tech bad guy finding gizmo. HII-YA!
    (Abyo pulls out a laser pen. Pucca, Garu, and Ching look at him confused.)
    Ching: ...A pen?
    Abyo: Not just any pen. This, is the pen, of many purposes.
    • Abyo uses the laser pen while in Italy and ends up shooting a hole in the wall to reveal a guy in the shower. Abyo apologizes but then accidentally knocks a chunk of wall into him with a grappling hook. At least he tries to write him an apology note. Then he ends up throwing an exploding daruma at the man.
  • Ching is kidnapped and Abyo screams "Nooooooo!", but only because he got ravioli sauce on his good shoes.
  • Abyo gets clues on the next location:
    Abyo: Hmmm, Hockey, maple leaf, beaver...these are all clues! So the bad guys must be from...Spain! (Beaver whacks him) Holland? (Whack) Eg-(whack) Mustarbeak (whack) uh...(whack) Argentine? (Whack) Ooooh, Canada.
  • All the chefs watch in terror as a detonator begins counting down. It gets to zero, but nothing happens. They notice it's not plugged into the dynamite, then a guy in a red fish costume comes out and laughs crazily.
    Ho: A red herring! Oh, I hate that guy.
  • After Pucca defeats Ringring, all seems well. Until Dada comes back in a giant robot for revenge... and then Ringring falls back down from the sky and crashes into the robot, effectively destroying it.
    
• Garu is erased from history in "Tame That Toon" and no one remembers him. Tobe feels like he should have vengeance on someone, he spots Dada and swears vengeance on him for no reason and attacks him.
• In "Monster Truck Island," Tex and Sue are sent flying back into their supertanker. Before leaving the island, the ship siphons back all the oil it spilled out of the water, implying the couple intentionally dumped their ship's cargo.
• In "Big Top Bang Bang":
  • Santa becomes unusually pissed off about reserved seating:
  (In the circus tent, Santa approaches a seat he thinks is his, next to Ching. However...)
  Ching: Sorry, Santa. This seat's for Abyo.
  Santa: (Annoyedly slinking away) Hmmmm... rocks in your socks...
  (Abyo walks in with Garu in tow.)
  Abyo: Hey! Woah, Santa! That seat's for Garu!
  Santa: (now seething as he moves to the next seat) I'm going to have to make a third list. Naughty, Nice, and... and Rude!
  (Pucca arrives for her seat, but Santa refuses to budge from it. Pucca just angrily tosses him aside.)
  • Garu at one point ends up having to pick between Pucca and a nearby lion, and he of course picks the latter and decides to make it eat him (much to the lion's confusion). Pucca gets angry and whips the clueless lion, then it strains and the camera cuts to Garu after being farted out as a result. Both he and the lion are hilariously embarrassed by this.
• In "Gold Medal Garu", which takes place in ancient Greece, Tobe challenges Garu to another fight and Ssoso, who is Socrates, suggests they take it to the arena in a series of sports. Only he adds this at the end:
  Ssoso: Are we not civilized men and lovers of yogurt? Settle your differences on the field in a series of physical challenges.
  (Garu and Tobe consider it)
  Ssoso: And you can do it naked.
  (Everyone looks at him in bewilderment)
  Ssoso: (with a nervous look on his face) Or in togas...
• Any time Pucca does her angry walk, such as in "Chicken Spots" when she goes to get a crowing Garu off her roof.
• In "A Better Boyfriend", Ching tries to get Abyo to see her as his girlfriend by giving him a bowl of mustard dumplings, but he's allergic to mustard, causing the top of his head to grow to enormous size. Later, Ching figures that boys like girls who have a sense of humor, so when Abyo tells her that Santa fell down a well, Ching keeps laughing at everything he says until her head comes off.
• In "And the Band Played Rong", Tobe's plan against Garu during the jingle competition is to detonate several tons of explosives underneath the stage when he comes on. One of his ninjas brings a rubber duck instead, and Tobe coldly storms off. When they all inevitably botch the plan, Tobe's next plan is to humiliate Garu with beat poetry about how much he sucks.
  • Right after that when Pucca and Ching are rehearsing:
    Ching: Y'know, Pucca, we still need a singer. You should do it; you've got such a pretty voice.
    Pucca: ...
  • Hilariously, when the ninjas decide to go through with the original plan anyway, the rubber duckie becomes instrumental for activating the explosives. Somehow, they get it to work as a receiver for a remote detonator.
