Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

Evil creatures called Ghosts are attacking Daten City, a city located on the border of Heaven and Hell, so Heaven sends down two angels (who also happen to be sisters) to stop them. One is an [[Lovable Sex Maniac|incredibly promiscuous]] blonde who can turn underwear into guns. The other is a [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|gothic girl]] with an [[Sweet Tooth|eternal craving for sweets]] who can turn stockings into swords. Guided by Father Garterbelt, [[Scary Black Man|a black priest]] [[Funny Afro|with an afro]] and a variety of sexual fetishes, and their dog Chuck, they fight ghosts in incredibly sexy, exciting, and ''[http://community.livejournal.com/gurren_lagann/567693.html just plain old weird]'' ways.

''Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt'' is an anime created by Gainax for the autumn 2010 season. The anime is drawn in a strange ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]''-esque style, and is probably the weirdest show Studio Gainax has ''ever'' produced, <s> possibly</s> [[Beyond the Impossible|weirder than even]] ''[[FLCL]]'' (and that is ''really'' saying something), though some say it's on par with ''[[Dead Leaves]]''.

 

 

This page comes with its own [[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt/Characters|character sheet]] and [[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt/Shout Out|list of shout outs]].

For the actual [[Stock Underwear]], see [[Stocking Filler]].

 

 

* [[Absurdity Ascendant]]: This is all over the index. Shall we count the tropes?

** [[Acid Trip Dimension]]

** [[Beyond the Impossible]]

** [[Bizarrchitecture]]

** [[Dada Comics]]

** [[Deranged Animation]]

* [[All Women Are Lustful]]: In addition to [[Loveable Sex Maniac|Panty]], there's Stocking, who gropes a bunch of cheerleaders' breasts, is repeatedly [[Too Kinky to Torture]], and is definitely not averse to spontaneously striking poses for men standing by with cameras, and assorted minor female characters, many of whom are shown to be similarly randy.

** The D-City Rock lyrics actually include the line ''"I'm breaking the news now boys, us girls, we're full time horny too."''

* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Queen Barby in "The Buzz of the Beehive" when Panty and Stocking infiltrate a high school. {{spoiler|Unsurprisingly, she's a Ghost, a literal Queen Bee in fact.}}

* [[And the Adventure Continues...]]: {{spoiler|Destination: Oten City. Maybe...}}

* [[Animesque]]: [[Zig-Zagging Trope|Zigzagged]]. It's an anime meant to look like [[Western Animation|an American cartoon]] in the style of the [[Animesque]] ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]''.

* [[Anime Catholicism]]

* [[Arc Welding]]: Episode 6, most likely. {{spoiler|Episode 12.}}

* [[Art Shift]]: There are scenes drawn in a normal anime style every so often, most notably the [[Transformation Sequence]].

** During their final attack against the [[Big Bad]] at the end of the series, the two girls instantly morph from their usual PPG-inspired appearance to their fanservice-y detailed anime appearance.

* [[The Atoner]]: {{spoiler|The reason Garterbelt is a priest, trying to get Panty and Stocking on the right track.}}

* [[Atop a Mountain of Corpses]]: Panty often sits atop a pile made by all the guys she has just screwed.

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]:

** Oscar H. Genius.

** Two dogs fighting each other by driving cars ''ON THE WALL OF A BUILDING?!?!?'' NOW I've seen everything...

** Pretty much the entirety of "Les Diaboliques" tops everything shown in the episodes before. And THAT means a ''LOT''!

** Eventually, Panty has so much sex, {{spoiler|her body ''wraps around to virginity''}}. Trust us, [[Makes Just as Much Sense in Context|this makes sense in context]].

** It goes without saying that ''Panty & Stocking'' is to anime what ''[[Bayonetta]]'' is to [[Video Games]].

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: In "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City," Stocking falls in love with a repulsive and jerkass-ish Ghost and is willing to forsake her duties as an angel to be with him. {{spoiler|It turns out he loves her too and proposes to her, but the moment she accepts, he ascends to heaven as he was doomed to walk the Earth forever until he could fall in love.}}

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Happens a lot to Brief.

* [[Bland-Name Product]]: "YouTobe"; WcDonald's; "[[Twentieth Century Fox|20th]] [[Refuge in Audacity|Cherry Cox]]" and "''Prick''les" (Pringles) in the Sanitarybox shorts.

* [[Blinding Bangs]]: Brief.

* [[Brought Down to Normal]]: {{spoiler|Panty loses her Angel powers and regrows her hymen as a result of breaking the conditions of her penance on Earth.}}

* [[Brutal Honesty]]: One of the problems the leaders of Heaven have with Panty and Stocking. While the people of Heaven lie to others to be polite, Panty and Stocking aren't afraid to say exactly what they think.

* [[Butt Monkey]]:

** Poor Brief. He can't get with Panty ''or'' prevent himself for getting embarrassed in a plethora of ways.

* [[Car Chase]]: Then it turns into a Truck Chase, and then into [[Up to Eleven|a TRAIN CHASE!]]

* [[Car Fu]]: "Les Diaboliques" explain how defensive driving works for stuffed dogs.

* [[Cat Fight]]: Panty and Stocking in the aptly named "Catfight Club". Panty and Scanty briefly have one in "Les Diaboliques" before returning to a shootout.

* [[Catch Phrase]]:

** "We bid you adieu!" when the Demon sisters make their getaway.

* [[Censor Box]]: Used a few times. In "The Runny", used to cover Panty's naughty bits from the audience as she dangles from a Ghost's tentacle protuberance. In "If The Angels Wore Swimsuits", there's a [[Freeze-Frame Bonus|blink-and-you'll-miss-it]] example near the end, when two starfish Ghosts jump up and attach themselves to Scanty's breasts in order to block the view.

* [[The Chew Toy]]: '''Chuck.'''

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Deployed with gusto. Just to name a few examples:

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekiIDieNMUQ "Fuck you, bitch!"], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq3a6R4m5Rg "What the fuck!"], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZwQOQT9ZYQ "Holy shit!"], not to mention the word "bitch" being used at least once per episode.

** "Fatherfucker."

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY_Y1qF371M Oh shit.]

** [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]] in the page quote. Panty isn't angry, she's describing [[All Women Are Lustful|her plans for the evening]].

* [[Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere]]: In episode 13 Panty lost her angelic status and regained her virginity as a side effect. Suddenly she notices lots of people making out in cars, then cats and dogs doing it, then a ''vortex'' of said animals and people having (censored) sex.

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]

* [[Continuity Nod]]:

** Happens in "Les Diaboliques", when a Ghost jumps into the toilet.

'''Panty''': Shut it. }}

** Another one occurs when one of the villains calls Stocking obese, triggering leading her to declare [[Berserk Button|angrily]] that it was "episodes ago".

** Hell, a lot of scenes are. However, this works because of the already bizarre animation. Especially in "Les Diaboliques".

* [[Cool Car]]: The Anarchy sisters' pink open top Hummer ("See-Through"), and the Demon sisters' G-Wagen limousine (aptly named "G-String"). Both vehicles even manage to [[Car Fu|duke it out with each other]] in "Les Diaboliques".

* [[Covered in Kisses]]: Panty does this to a TON of guys at her film's release party while having sex with all of them at the same time at the end of episode 2.

* [[Crapsack World]]:

** Little Tokyo.

* [[Creepy Cool Crosses]]: The shape of Daten High.

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]:

** {{spoiler|Brief. Not only did he save Panty in episode 12, but he also somehow took out the ghosts she was supposed to kill earlier.}}

*** {{spoiler|He didn't, Panty asked and he said not even one.}}

* [[Cultural Cross-Reference]]: All over the place, natch.

* [[Darkest Hour]]: {{spoiler|The end of "Panty + Brief" - [[Put on a Bus|Stocking has ascended to Heaven,]] [[Brought Down to Normal|Panty has lost her powers]] and [[Big Bad|Corset]] has abducted Brief for the [[MacGuffin]] in his, er, [[Gag Penis|possession]].}}

* [[Destructive Saviour]]: Panty and Stocking, constantly.

* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: {{spoiler|Pretty much literally in the 13th episode, where Corset appears to be defeated by the High Heel of God.}}

* [[Deus Sex Machina]]: In episode 12, Panty mysteriously regains her virginity, resulting in losing her angel powers. {{spoiler|Only by losing her virginity again, next episode, was she able to get her powers back.}}

* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: Really? You couldn't tell that the sisters with the [[Big Red Devil|red skin]], [[Horned Humanoid|horns]], and devil tails, that were even called ''The Demon Sisters'', were demons?

* [[Expy]]:

** Chuck is one of [[Invader Zim|Gir]]. [[Jhonen Vasquez]] has noticed:

** The demon in "Death Race 2010" bears more than a passing resemblance to the [[Spider-Man|Carnage Symbiote]]. It has red-tinted black skin, a jagged mouth, takes over multiple hosts, and is [[Ax Crazy]].

** The panty-eating ghost runner bears a striking resemblance to [[The Flash]].

* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Stocking, who was actually a demon.}}

* [[Fan Disservice]]: [[Rule of Sexy]] is [[Rule of Funny]]'s bitch! And so you don't forget that, have some [[Squick]].

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Fallen angels, for the fans of the series.

* [[Fantastic Voyage Plot]]: Panty and Stocking, after being slipped shrinking drugs by the Demons and getting fed up with Brief's weird tea parties in "Inner Brief", jump down his throat and stab and shoot him from inside for their amusement.

* [[Le Film Artistique]]: "Chuck to the Future, Part 3".

* [[Five-Man Band]]

** Mentors: Garterbelt

** [[Team Pet]]/{{spoiler|[[The Big Guy]]}}: Chuck

** Panty tries this on the mass-produced Ghosts in "Les Diaboliques" with much more efficiency.

* [[Flipping the Table]]: Stocking's reaction to the demon sisters calling her fat. Takes even Panty by surprise.

* [[Foreign Cuss Word]]: All over the place. It's gotten to the point that citing every single example would probably produce a list as long as this page. Also, see [[Cluster F-Bomb]] above.

** Panty exclaims "Shit!" when Garter correctly guesses that she's at the Immoral Motel, and is later called "bitch" a few times by the speedster ghost in the same episode.

** In "Chuck to the Future Part 2", the word 'FUCK!' is used as onomatopoeia for a hand formed out of house flies giving Chuck the finger. Seriously.

** To sum it up, GAINAX, like SEGA when they made ''[[Bayonetta]]'', made this series to see how much could they get away with, even by Japanese standards.

* [[From a Single Cell]]:

** Chuck and does this on a semi-regular basis.

* [[G-Rated Sex]]:

** The mutual nose picking scene in "The Runny." Which somehow manages be more explicit than most actual sex scenes.

** "Chuck to the Future Part 3" contains a sex scene via silhouette.

* [[Gag Penis]]: {{spoiler|Brief.}} Panty {{spoiler|getting her hymen regenerated}} may have something to do with it.

** A lot of black people in the show have [[Values Dissonance|comically large pink lips]].

** The residents of [[Take That Us|Little Tokyo]].

* [[Goth]]: Stocking, the younger of the anarchy sisters, is a pink and violet-haired gothic girl.

* [[Gotta Catch Em All]]:

** The background English jokes (like Peni Station) are abundant too.

** The original Newtype article announcing the anime features a paragraph of pretty weird English that was also apparently slapdashily edited.

** Scanty, Kneesocks, and Corset would imply that spouting gratuitous English is a hallmark of being a demon.

** Panty's {{spoiler|indestructible hymen}} shows up on Garter's scanner as "ALART".

** Although whatever policy they have (apparently with Garterbelt Insurance Co.) isn't total coverage - "The Stripping" briefly mentions that the destruction they cause is one of the reasons for their debt (although their consumption of luxury goods is stated as the main reason).

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Out of all characters you wouldn't expect to get one, {{spoiler|Panty gets hit hard with Episode 12 after not only being rejected from heaven, but losing all her powers, her halo, regaining her virginity and having her love interest kidnapped right in front of her without being able to do anything about it.}}

* [[Hidden Track]]: Present in the OST {{spoiler|confirming the existence of a second season.}}

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: The Speed Ghost in "Death Race 2010".

* [[I Call It Vera]]: Panty's gun "Backlace", Stocking's sword "Stripe", and the car named "See-Through".

* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: The granny in Episode 13 (assuming that was really her...), and young Garterbelt.

* [[Ignored Enemy]]: Briefly in "Catfight Club", where the Ghost tries to attack but the ball he uses as a weapon is repeatedly knocked away by a bickering Panty and Stocking as they argue.

* [[The Immodest Orgasm]]: Used in the background tracks "Pantscada" and "Juice".

* [[Improvised Weapon]]: In episode 8A, {{spoiler|Stocking impales a zombified cat with a vibrator}}.

* [[Incest Subtext]]: Scanty and Kneesocks' [[Erotic Eating]] in Episode 12a.

* [[Insane Troll Logic]]:

** Panty believes she and Stocking can get back into Heaven by walking up a pole into space.

* [[In the Name of the Moon]]:

** In another first, the speech is recited while performing a pole dance...

** Subverted in "Transwhoremers" when they completely screw up the chant and just start screaming instead.

** [[Evil Counterpart|Scanty]] [[Psycho Rangers|and Kneesocks]] have their own version.

* [[Irony]]:

** The two angels' primary character flaws are two of the seven deadly sins; [[Lust]] and [[Big Eater|Gluttony]].

** Also the fact that the demons Scanty and Kneesocks, are much more orderly than the two chaotic angels.

* [[It Only Works Once]]: Corset's panic implies this to be the case with {{spoiler|Brief's orgasm unlocking the Hellsgate, but it's probably not so if Corset expects Brief to open Oten City's gate next season.}}

** Apparently [[It Only Works Once]] {{spoiler|for each gate}}.

** {{spoiler|Possibly subverted after episode 13. Then again, Stocking might not be using a Heaven-sent weapon...}} Either that, or {{spoiler|[[I Lied|she was lying for a reason]]}}.

* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Invoked to a degree with Scanty and Kneesocks, since their introductory episode was full-length (instead of the eleven-minute shorts of previous ones), we get hints of an overarching plot, and Panty and Stocking face opponents who can actually keep up with them in a fight.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: In "Excretion Without Honor and Humanity".

* [[Laughing Mad]]: Stocking in "The Diet Syndrome".

* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: The Prosecutor from "1 Angry Ghost" is only slightly wilder than the real "Tom Croose" in "Magnolia".

* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: Before their [[Transformation Sequence]] in front of the camera in "1 Angry Ghost":

* [[Leave the Camera Running]]: The episode "Nothing to Room" is essentially a continuous 13 minute shot of Panty and Stocking watching TV and talking while waiting for Garterbelt to finish cooking lunch. There is only one camera move, and a couple of variants on the [[Whip Pan]] to show the passage of time.

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]:

** Their given names aside, Panty and Stocking's surname is Anarchy. Taking into account how much mess they're making in the city, and that their main antagonists are the [[Memetic Mutation|RRRUUURRRUUU]]-[[Lawful Evil|obsessed]] Scanty and Kneesocks, it's quite accurate.

** Daten City, which sits on the border between heaven and hell, puns on "''datenshi''", which means "fallen angel".

** When the Anarchy and Demon sisters tried to start a fight, Kneesocks grabs the VS splash screen and throws it away.

* [[Medium Blending]]:

* [[New Job Episode]]: "The Stripping" forces Panty and Stocking through different part time jobs.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]:

** Panty in the final episode when she refused to catch Brief as he's falling after regaining her powers. {{spoiler|He falls right into the Doomsday Machine, his "key" landing perfectly into the slot and activating it.}} [[Sarcasm Mode|Our heroes, ladies and gentlemen.]]

* [[Night of the Living Mooks]]: The episode "...of The Dead".

** Panty is shown clearly taking a dump in "Excretion without Honor and Humanity" and the episode's Ghost is a conglomerate of feces that sucks people down toilets. Also, Stocking is shown on the toilet in "The Buzz of the Beehive".

** In "Les Diaboliques," Panty and Stocking have a whole conversation while both are sitting on the toilet in neighboring stalls.

*** What makes this even more bizarre is that both are in their robot forms at the time. Making this a case of "Everybody Poops"?

* [[Now What?]]: {{spoiler|At the end of "...Of The Dead", everyone is turned into zombies aaaaaaaaaand... that's it, basically. No big deal.}}

* [[Power Suit Monkey]]: A Type 2 is featured in "1 angry ghost". {{spoiler|It becomes a Type 3 after being electrified.}}

* [[Precision F-Strike]]:

'''Scanty''': (Pulling her guns out.) '''''Fuckin' angel!''''' }}

* {{spoiler|1=[[Pre-Climax Climax]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHVuyyC6NdY This scene between Brief and Panty] occurs 1 episode before the actual [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idvo6FNUy-E pre-climax] but it's more or less the same.}}

* [[Roof Hopping]]: Only used in "Vomiting Point". Usually they drive by car to get from A to B.

* [[Rule 34]]: Though considering the nature of the series, it shouldn't be a surprise that it exists.

* [[Rule 63]]: [[Gender Bender]] fanart of the series is quite common, particularly concerning Brief.

* [[Sadist Show]]

* [[Scenery Censor]]: Considering a lead character uses her easily removable panties as a handgun, this is necessary to keep from crossing the line straight into NSFW territory.

** As a sample, the whole of "Death Race 2010". Panty crashes into some sort of toy store and loses her panties (and by extension, her weapon). Immediately after, she sees them... on the head of the Ghost they're fighting. ''Everyone'' (Even the news crew got several upskirt shots) gets an eyeful, not that she seems to care. The viewers, however, get nothing. Her "naughty bits" are covered by her thighs, or her boots, or in one instance, light reflecting off the camera lens.

** In "The Diet Syndrome", we get Panty saying "Peek-a-boo" over and over as she keeps lifting and dropping Stocking's shirt, which hid a body-weight loss machine. Cue Stocking's [[Noblewoman's Laugh]], [[Laughing Mad]] version.

* [[The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction]]: Averted in "Ghosts: Phantom of Daten City". Stocking just has ''really'' bad taste in guys.

* [[Sibling Team]]

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]

* [[Secretly Wealthy]]: {{spoiler|Brief}}

* [[Seinfeldian Conversation]]: "Nothing To Room"

** {{spoiler|"[[MacGuffin|Hellsmonkey]]" sounds [[Gratuitous English|odd]], but it makes a bit more sense when you realize mon (門) also stands for "gate" in Japanese. Thus, "Hell's Gate Key".}}

* [[The Stinger]]: The Season finale ends on this to the point that it's practically self-aware.

** The most screwed up example yet would be the final act of the Sanitarybox shorts, which makes every other [[Adobe Flash|Flash]] animation in the series look vastly superior in comparison.

* [[Surprisingly Good English]]:

* [[This Is a Drill]]: {{spoiler|In the season finale, Panty and Stocking somehow create a giant drill in order to defeat [[Big Bad|Corset]]. They accidentally [[Epic Fail|fire it the wrong way]] and it [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|pierces the heavens.]]}}

* [[This Trope Is Bleep]]: In "D City Rock".

Delicious'' }}

* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]:

** At the end of "Vomiting Point", {{spoiler|Panty and Stocking give Terao an autograph for his daughter's birthday, not that anything else is much better.}}

** Episode 13, more or less for the fans: {{spoiler|Panty and Brief finally do the deed. In mid-air. About 5000 feet up. Give or take. Of course, Panty goes back to treating Brief the way she usually does, but she does stop calling him "Geek Boy"}}.

* [[Title Drop]]: An odd visual example. {{spoiler|The angels' "Mom" happens to be wearing panties, stockings, ''and'' a garter belt.}}

* [[Title of the Dead]]: the episode "...of the Dead".

** Happens again in "1 Angry Ghost", when the girls are restrained. Stocking comments that it could be "a lot tighter".

*** Later in the episode, they get electrocuted. Stocking's response?

** Towards the end of "If The Angels Wore Swimsuits," Panty and Stocking get attacked by a giant octopus ghost. Panty breaks out with no problem, while Stocking...doesn't even try.

** In the D-City Rock video, they get stranded in the desert and decide to make signs to hitchhike. Panty's actually has where they're going, but all Stocking wrote was "Please buy me."

* [[Transformation Sequence]]: Technically, only the weapons transform (since for their transformation both the main girls and the Demon Sisters instantly change outfits ''before'' it happens and once they're done they're just wearing whatever they were wearing earlier anyway), but it still has the flashiness of a traditional [[Magical Girl]] transformation so it counts anyway. To top it off, it takes the [[Fan Service]] aspect [[Up to Eleven]] by including [[You Can Leave Your Hat On|pole-dancing and striptease]].

** [[Transformation Is a Free Action]]: Most of the time it might be justified, since that pole-dance is rather [[Distracted by the Sexy|distracting]], but in "One Angry Ghost" the judge [http://randomc.net/image/Panty%20&%20Stocking%20with%20Garterbelt/Panty%20&%20Stocking%20with%20Garterbelt%20-%2008%20-%20Large%2032.jpg interrupts Panty mid-sequence] and it shifts back to the show's normal art style.

* [[Troperiffic]]: Let's put it this way: the first episode was ''already'' [[Beyond the Impossible]] for a [[Widget Series]]. It's only going to get weirder from here. ''Much'' weirder.

** And now there's apparently going to be a ''second'' season. Considering [[Gainax Ending|what we got for an ending]], all bets are off on what's going to happen next.

** [[Troper Critical Mass]]: Just look at how much this page has developed! And the show's only been out for five months! It's not at [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]] levels yet, but it's getting close...

* [[Three Shorts|Two Shorts]]: In keeping with the American style of the show. Episode 10 has three (well, more like five), however.

* [[Unsound Effect]]:

** By the fourth episode ("Diet Syndrome"), the sound effects are branching out into unusual territory. "Nice dunk!", for example.

** After episode 10, they became just too many to be counted. But Chuck's "Pissed Off!" just begs to be mentioned.

** Then, in Nothing to Room, there's [[Beyond the Impossible|"a cocksucker"]].

* [[Vagina Dentata]]:

** Fastener (Evil Chuck)'s head, with the oblong shape and that vertical zipper in the middle, has a very suspicious shape...

* [[Villain Ball]]: Scanty & Kneesocks get struck by this for the entirety of episode 8. "...Of The Dead": Starting a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] with an army of zombies {{spoiler|immune to weapons of both Heaven and Hell and sticking around to enjoy the show resulted in both of them [[Hoist by His Own Petard|being zombified]]}}. Gets even better {{spoiler|in ''1 Angry Ghost'': Putting the heroines on a [[Kangaroo Court]] on murder and expecting them to be too lazy to punch holes in the prosecutor's accusations and manipulating Panty into [[Digging Yourself Deeper|pissing off both jury and the judge]] was a [[Batman Gambit|workable plan]]. If not for the fact that their "[[Card-Carrying Villain|witness]]" [[Chaotic Stupid|would flip out and yell proudly "SURE, I DID IT!" when pressed]] and, you know, for the simple fact that ''[[Too Kinky to Torture|ordinary electric chairs don't work too well on angels]]''!}} [[Villain Ball|Seriously, when your not-so-bright victims can tell your plan sucks, you have no excuse.]]

** People are already drawing parallels to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsol63jydEE certain other characters]

*** As if that weren't enough, some of the stuff splatters onto Panty's face while she watches in awe.

** "High School Nudical" involves Panty taking other guys' underwear and turning them into guns and... Brief's is a shotgun...

** The soundtrack cover depicts Panty and Stocking with drops of white something all over their faces and naked upper bodies. The rest of the art suggests it's actually water, but ''come on.''

* [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]/[[Waterfall Puke]]:

* [[Wasted Song]]: Several. This is particularly notable in the case of the three [[Theme Music Power-Up|Power Up Theme Music]] tracks:

** "Fly Away" is much longer than the show ever uses it for and actually ''does'' have lyrics besides "Fly away now!"

** "{{spoiler|Corset}} Theme" plays for about 20 seconds in Episode 13, directly before the girls' [[Theme Music Power-Up]]. The full song goes for a full 4:35, has short vocals, and is ''really'' catchy.

** Additionally, the track that plays during [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhBToyFyLrs Garterbelt's living-through-history montage] wasn't included on either soundtrack release.

** And once more with Episode 13, where {{spoiler|Stocking returns, the [[Big Bad]] is seemingly defeated, then Stocking wonders if the Heaven weapons can kill angels. She proceeds to chop Panty into 666 pieces, reveals she's actually a demon, and then leaves with the still-alive [[Big Bad]] that popped out of Brief's penis.}}

* [[Wham! Line]]:

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Angels vs. Demons in a match of volleyball in "If The Angels Wore Swimsuits". It eventually escalates to the point where both sides are forced to use their powers.

* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Pop quiz: {{spoiler|It's the [[Darkest Hour]]. Your partner in crime-fighting has been [[Put on a Bus]], you've been left depowered, and the friendly neighbourhood [[Big Bad]] has kidnapped the closest thing you have to a [[Love Interest]] in order to open a gate to Hell with his penis}}. So, what do you do? If you have any idea what this show has been like previously, you should know that Panty's answer is {{spoiler|fuck a guy.}} The best part? {{spoiler|[[Deus Sex Machina|It turns out to be EXACTLY the right thing to do]].}}

*** The ending. HOLY, SHIT, THE, [[Gainax Ending|ENDING]] of this season!

* [[Wild Take]]: Done by Brief after {{spoiler|Stocking cuts Panty into diced bits.}}

** Not to mention that they had just {{spoiler|plowed through the wall with their car.}}

* [[World of Ham]]
