Revolutionary Girl Utena/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • From episode 14:

Kanae: Please, won't you start calling me "Sister," now? It won't be long until I really am your sister, okay?
(beat)
(beat)
Anthy (with the same vacant smile she always has): Sure.

    • Earlier in that episode, Utena and Anthy looking for the latter's older brother. Apparently in an overestimation of Anthy's Cloudcuckoolander tendencies, Utena asks if the giant projector is Anthy's brother before they find him.
  • "To be an adult.. you need experience in certain things".
    • "Oh Miss Utena, I believe you and I have done some adult things." :O
  • Nanami's Egg, full stop. Also the three nerdy guys, whenever they appear.
    • From that same episode, Touga informing Nanami that the reason they're able to live so happily is because she's not the kind of girl who would shame her family by laying an egg.[1]
    • Also from that same episode, Touga mistakenly believing Nanami to be a lesbian and giving a lecture about the "evils" of homosexuality... in the very same story arc where he's sleeping with Akio.
    • And again from the same episode, there's Nanami's entire conversation with Juri.
    • Yet another one! Nanami beating the crap out of Saionji when she thinks he's cooked her egg.
  • Episode 8, "The Great Curry High Trip". You will never look at elephants the same way again afterwards.
    • Pretty much the entirety of episode 8, especially the end where Saionji and Chu-Chu switch personalities.
  • The "Three Wishes" sidestory in the manga. Giant Saionji, anyone?
  • I've got a fever, and the only thing that can cure it is more cowberu.
    • Forget cowberu. What you need is more nose ringu.
  • Nanami's various attempts at trying to embarrass Anthy in the fourth episode by trying to make it look like she keeps disgusting animals in her room. Only to have them horribly backfire because Anthy is already doing the things Nanami is trying to pull on her, such as keeping snails in her pencil box, a mongoose in her desk, and a gigantic octopus float from the school festival in her closet. Nanami's desired results:

Miki: Miss Himemiya! I've misjudged you!
Utena: I'm so shocked!

    • The actual results:

Miki: I think it's cute. It's just like Miss Himemiya to do something like that.

  • Most of C-Ko's shadow plays in the second season.
  • From the movie, any mention of F-Ko's "scandalacious" videotape. I mean, until we actually see what makes it so scandalacious.
  • Touga and Saionji in the motorcycle in Episode 36:

Touga: Saionji.
Saionji: Yeah?
Touga: Standing like that is dangerous.

  • Beat*

Saionji: Right.

  • How Wakaba always tries to glomp Utena when they're both in front of an open window.
    • Wakaba's Genki Girl status makes her quite hilarious. In particular, there's the beginning of episode 11, where she glomps Utena and causes them both to roll down a hill.
  • The second Ruka episode hangs an amusing lampshade on the Stock Footage used in that arc. Ruka does the usual speech that Touga normally does in the leadup to the Akio Car scene... except for the last part where the car appears, at which point he calls Touga in just to say his last line and do his overdramatic shirtless pose.
  • In the OP of the Sega videogame: Akio and Touga take off their shirts in extremely hammy ways, then a mortified-looking Saionji sighs and opens his own.
  • "Don't you just love the throb of the engine?"

  1. It gets funnier (or perhaps just shows once again what a jerk Touga is) when you liken girls laying eggs to teenage pregnancy, and realise Touga's hypocrisy from there as you wonder just how many girls he might have gotten pregnant.
