hydro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Clannad actually made me laugh many times. It is not the funniest VN out there, but it certainly has the highest number of funny moments for me I remember that too. I read it some time after the anime, and I recall the VN having far more funny moments. It had more time so showed more of the "day to day school life" moments, many of which were hilarious. Kotomi's route especially was great in that regard. Having a cool troll protagonist like Tomoya helped matters some. It ensured a consistent source of comedy without falling into some of the worst anime tropes, "pervert misunderstandings" and the like. But despite all that, Grisaia might just beat it out for me. The common route is constantly hilarious. It surprised me how well put together it was. I've watched this so many times: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah,in that retrospect, Tomoyo route beating up Sunohara made me laugh everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamon Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Grisaia hands down, however Little Busters comes close second I'd say (the fact that grisaia could afford ecchi jokes probably helped). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christfall Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Clannad, Rewrite, Yumina, Grisaia are the more memorable ones to me: They all have one thing in common: Butt Monkeys In Clannad we have Sunohara who is the source of at least 90% of the funny moments, in Rewrite Yoshino's a lesser version that gets abused just as often. In Yumina we have Yumina the idiot, but pretty much every character in debate club (and in the school) makes the school chapter so enjoyable. And finally in Grisaia we have Michiru, which is very much a female-version of Sunohara in terms of gullibility and level of intelligence. I guess dumb/idiotic characters are compulsory if you want comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenshin_sama Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah, as far as jokes in VNs go, Grisaia definitely takes the cake. That video hydro posted is one of my favorite comedy scenes. ^^ I liked the pillow joke too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That video hydro posted is one of my favorite comedy scenes. ^^ I liked the pillow joke too. I've saved sooooo many screenshots while reading Grisaia. It's a recent habit of mine that pops up occasionally when I see something really interesting, but it's like 10 times more common with Grisaia than anything else I've ever read. And even that's taking into account some restraint on my part. Too many good lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockmandash12 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 The lack of Fate/hollow ataraxia in this thread makes me sad. Absolutely hilarious, it's like F/SN mixed with the comedy of carnival phantasm. It's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
