'''Misato''': ''Hawaii?''
'''Ritsuko''': ''No. And no to the next one!'' }}
* [[Creepy Cool Crosses]]: Lampshaded by Gendo:
{{quote|
'''Maya''': ''Because it's... deep?''
'''Gendo''': ''Ah, don't start that tired argument again. [[Faux Symbolism|It was added because the director thought it was shiny]], so just move on and continue the operation.'' }}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Pretty much everyone, especially Gendo.
* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]?: Gendo's an evil bastard and he loves it. Good thing he doesn't know whether he's thinking or talking.

'''German Admiral''': I'll get my pen. }}

{{quote|
'''Ritsuko''': One just makes a giant explosion. The other makes ''[[Grave of the Fireflies]]''. }}

* [[Nuke
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Shinji, when he's not wangsting (or being uncharacteristically [[Hot
{{quote|
* [[Otaku]]: Asuka loves Mecha perhaps a little too much. Don't make a Kamen Rider reference and say it's a Mecha franchise.
* [[Overused Copycat Character]]: Rei says this about herself.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: The tagline for Konataproduction is "Parodies: New every 6 months."
* [[Shout
