The part in the dub where the military guy says "what's the status of the target!" always makes me smile. The guy sounds like he's tryingwayto hard.

This is so off, but...
When Misato tries to turn Shinji on in the Japanese dub, his tone when he says, "STOP. NO, MISATO-SAN." made me laugh.

The “Every missile hit the target!” line in the dub, how nothing at Nerv every seems to work like its supposed to, Shamshel’s appearance, Asuka’s German skillz in the original, Misato throwing up in episode 15, and a carrier named Over the Rainbow now doubly hilarious after the repeal of the US Military’s “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy.

Plus 1 for the EVERY SINGLE MISSILE HIT THE TARGET! part.

The fact that the Youtube Poop guys haven't made that an worldwide meme yet saddens me.

In Episode 23, right after Rei II dies, Misato comes into Shinji's room and tries to grab his hand (sexual advance). Shinji kind of freaks out and falls onto his bed.

The incident referred to is in the On Air version -- however most normal people would take it as simple gesture of reassurance and consolation through physical contact in the context. You have to go deeply "LOL Freudian picture composition!" or to extra-textual sources to see any more in it than what remains of simple primate social grooming behaviour.

THIS.
I guess it could go either way, depending on how you look at it.

I always wonder why people think that Tiffany Grant's German in the dub is so funny. I thought it sounded very believable and not really that hammy. MAYBE the convo on the phone (and yes I know to native German-speakers her accent and grammar are appalling). Nevertheless, within the context of the show, it was an admirable effort, and I never laughed at it, I found it instead kind of a turn-on there I said it.

Episode 19, Kagi and Shinji's calm conversation with the absolute chaos of the angel battle in the background. It's kinda like "Fancy meeting you here. Oh yeah, by the way, the world is about to end."

The first time I saw sahaquiel I giggled madly, and I still can't tell if we're supposed to take him completely seriously or not. His character design is just so... silly, right?

Seconded. I can't manage to take any scene with Kaji and his melons entirely seriously.
On a related note, something about the way Shinji and Kaji sit as far away as possible while still being on the same bench in what I believe to be episode seventeen made me absolutely crack up.

I think Matarael's design makes me giggle more than Sahaquiel. Sahaquiel looks like an abstract piece of art, while Matarael is a spider trying to be like Sahaquiel.

Matarael is actually kind of effective for me for most of his existence, if only because eyes that ooze cheese whiz are gross as fuck. It's how he dies that gets me.

About the woman you clasp in your arms, can you say with certainty that she does not feign pleasure? About the woman you mistreat, are you quite sure that from abuse she does not derive some obscure and lascivious satisfaction?

I always thought it was amusing that NERV, despite being the humanity's only hope for survival, never has enough funds for anything.

Also that Evas sometimes get bandaged over their armor.
