Line 92:
** The frequent [[Lull Destruction]] caused by Haro bouncing around and exclaiming silly phrases in [[Gratuitous English]].
** Just try saying the name ''Mu La Flaga'' with a straight face. You will utterly fail!
* The name [[Gundam Unicorn|Full Frontal]] in the generally more serious UC setting. Try not to chuckle at the name: it's ''supposed'' to signify his favorite kind of attack... [[Full -Frontal Assault|no, not that kind!]]
** The hero's name is Banagher Links, which would make an awesome name for a golf course.
** Full Frontal also sports a curled mullet, which looks ridiculous in a sci-fi setting. How were we supposed to take this character seriously?
Line 103:
* Because this show is [[Darker and Edgier]], the unintentional humor in ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam (Anime)|Victory Gundam]]'' is even funnier. Of note is a scene in episode 23, wherein the mobile armor Sandhoge grabs hold of the Victory Gundam and begins bludgeoning it with one of its mechanical limbs. This would be fine, except the mobile armor is basically [[Groin Attack|kicking the Victory in the crotch.]] We have [http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab330/Enchanter468/VGundamCrotchShot.jpg this action], repeated over and over, ''all while sad music is playing in the background''. How did nobody realize how funny this was?
** {{spoiler|Cronicle}}'s death can be pretty funny, especially due to the camera angle. {{spoiler|"Maria..." *THUD*}}
** [[Values Dissonance]] causes another big narm as well. The Zanscare military meetings become freaking ridiculous when you see [[Fashion Victim Villain|either grunts or commanders wearing these ridiculous old-fashioned wigs.]] We know, it's [[The Empire]], and some also know it's a [[Shout -Out]] to formal professions like English judges and ''their'' wigs... but for some, ''it's still funny''.
* Every English dub for every Gundam series has Narm. This is because Sunrise uses Ocean Group for the dubbing, which is brings [[Hey Its That Voice]] [[Up to Eleven]].
** The biggest example? [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)|Quatre Raberba Winner]] [[Brad Swaile|and]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|Setsuna F. Seiei]] [[Death Note (Manga)|will take their potato chips... AND EAT THEM!]]
