Funny / Sakura Quest

• Near the end of the first episode, Kadota forces Shiori to pretend that she's being attacked by the Chupacabra (played by Kadota himself), so that Yoshino will grab the sword and fight it off. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't expect that Yoshino instead bashes him on the head, resulting in him being badly injured.
• In the second episode, Yoshino is tasked with selling all the manju in a week, so they arrange to have her be The Scapegoat for ordering too many; she sits in her queen costume behind a barred window with a sign indicating that she's being punished for her mistake (which wasn't actually her fault). Unfortunately, hardly anyone shows up.
• Yoshino's not entirely comfortable with the PR campaign for the manju advertising her as a "beautiful" queen, so her coworkers consider putting a question mark next to "beautiful," or a parenthetical note that it's by popular opinion.
• When Kadota proposes that they take advantage of the film's need to burn down a house to get rid of one of the abandoned homes in the area, some of his colleagues propose that they burn down his house. Predictably, he's not amused.
• The protagonists' efforts at making dishes in Episode 8.
  • Sanae makes the laziest dish possible- supermarket chicken wings in a cup of instant ramen.
  • Ririko makes a garden caterpillar-themed pastry. When Yoshino complains that "it looks like it has cream coming out of its butt," Ririko protests that it's what she likes about it.
  • Maki makes a "mega tempura sandwich," with a stack of shrimp and other foods that's several inches tall between two thick slices of bread.
  • When Maki gets annoyed at Yoshino's criticism of her dish for being "too thrown-together," she points out what Yoshino made- croquette peanut butter curry yakisoba, or "cropecurryakosiba" for short.
  • Shiori's dish isn't nearly as bad as the other four, but the others say that it's "boring" together.
• Near the end of the trivia competition in Episode 13, Maki begins a question about "One of Manoyama's most famous traditional arts-" prompting one contestant to jump the gun and say "sculpting." The answer is incorrect, and another contestant cautiously decides to wait, but Sandal says "Ping-pong," which is the right answer. It turns out that the part about sculpting was only a segue to asking which sport experienced an underground boom. Sandal ends up winning the trip to Guam.
  Shiori: How the heck did Sandal know the answer to that?
  Sanae: Probably just a coincidence.
  Ririko: We'll make him give it back.
• When being interviewed for TV, Ririko is asked about her role as the "minister of Puma." She corrects the interviewer by saying that it's actually UMAs, and goes on a longwinded answer about them.
• While the documentary doesn't end up helping Manoyama, it's still funny to see Shiori get embarrassed about the clip of her saying "That's indubitably too big a job for-" airing.
• The scene cuts to Angelica's cafe, where Angelica laments that Takamizawa is the first one to use a coupon. Erika, however, has other concerns about the documentary.
  Erika: They haven't even shown me once yet. This is BS.
• Episode 14 begins with Yoshino having a nightmare of her being tied to a stake and executed by the residents of Manoyama throwing the chupakabura manju in her mouth, with Sandal of all people in charge of the mob. She then wakes up, screaming that she needs tea now.
• In Episode 14, Shiori and Ririko brainstorm how to deal with residents' reluctance to rent rooms to outsiders.
  Shiori: Ok, tell me this. What would it take to make you comfortable renting out your house if you were an owner?
  Ririko: ...Maybe if it's a girl?
  Shiori: Oh, good point! That makes a lot of sense to me. And some guests might prefer staying in women-only houses.
  Ririko: And they must... love UMAs.
  Shiori: That... might prove a little bit trickier.
• In Episode 17, Masa mentions that he has a tablet PC, but he only knows how to use it as a light. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to keep it charged, resulting in it losing power in the middle of a conversation and leaving him, Sanae, Ririko and Yoshino in the dark. While in the dark, someone accidentally touches Sanae's butt, at which point Ririko and Masa deny it. At a later meeting of the elderly residents, Masa jokes that he has "a sixth sense for butts," and claims that Sanae has quite a "caboose."
  Sanae: It was you, old bastard...
• In Episode 18, Maki is sent to deliver the seniors' demands- a bunch of alcohol- and try to bring Yoshino back. After Yoshino refuses to return, Maki ends up getting plastered with the seniors, much to Shiori and Sanae's dismay.
• In Episode 19, Kadota volunteers to show Yoshino, Sanae and Shiori around the old route of the festival procession, carrying a banner. Mino asks if Kadota can carry another sign and Kadota agrees. Mino then goes inside to get it, and we next see Kadota with a sign around his neck saying, "50 years ago, I destroyed the festival. I'm sorry."
  Kadota: Bastards... this just feels like an updated version of putting me in the stocks.
• In Episode 20, Maki's play has the children ask for a combine harvester (which Maki points out won't fit down the chimney) and a large house ("Go ask an oil baron!") for Christmas. Maki then says that it's a good thing that there are fewer children these days.
• In Episode 22, the main characters try to help Erika with her toothache, and end up pushing on a pressure point on her foot... only to realize that it's for constipation.
• In Episode 24, Masa makes a "2 Days" sign for the Mizuchi Festival out of produce and makes a video of it, only for a dog to steal one of the bottom strokes for the 2 on camera.
• At the start of the final episode, Kadota, on Sandal's advice, decides to put on something distinctive so the mayor he's visiting will recognize him. He puts on a happi and the Chupakabura mask, and intimidatingly asks several passers-by if they're the mayor before he gets arrested.
• At the very end of the show, Kadota sees Yoshino off with another banner. Yoshino notices that Kadota wrote her name wrong again.
