Boss' Orders

Gold Experience

This isn't brought in the manga or anime but when you check the wiki about Giorno, you should see that he's the half-uncle of Joseph Joestar. You've heard that right. Don't even include Jotaro, Josuke, and Jolyne; it gets weirder from there.
- The fact that he has 2 fathers alone makes this funnier. Also doubles as an awesome fact, too.
The anime opens with several crimes such as robbery, extortion, bribery and drug dealing. Then soon after, the narrator says; "It's a famous tourist spot so beautiful that people say you should see it at least once before you die."
Giorno helps a few tourists with directions. Then he steals back their wallet from a thug without the tourists or said thug noticing, pretending that he just picked it up... then he uses Gold Experience's abilities to transform some money from the wallet he gave back, taking it for himself, before buying ice cream for himself and a random kid. Jeez Giorno, make up your mind.
Koichi arriving in Italy and Giorno's first appearance. Giorno kindly offers Koichi a ride to a hotel... and drives off with Koichi's luggage before he could get on. Koichi easily stops the car with Act 3 and allows Giorno to leave, since he only wants his luggage back. Giorno complies and leaves Koichi with his luggage, which turns into a frog and hops back to Giorno later.
- Koichi being offered something to eat at a pastry shop, and declines since he has no money thanks to a certain somebody... who's right behind Koichi being fawned over by girls at a table. While counting his money for a coffee break, Giorno busts a goofy "what the hell" reaction when he sees him.
When Koichi makes Giorno's car heavy, what does Giorno do upon realizing he's completely screwed? He calls on the ancestral technique of his technical father's family and bolts the hell out of there! Looks like he's more of a Joestar than he seems.
- Even funnier is the editor of the video adding Echoes popping up to offer some insight on the secret technique:
  Echoes: This enemy has a seriously heavy power. S-H-I-T.

Joining the Famiglia

Giorno's attempts to keep the lighter from being extinguished as part of his initiation test. One of his efforts include sticking the lighter on top of a bread loaf, making it look like a cheap birthday cake with a makeshift candle.
Giorno, wanting to get the lighter to his dorm room before the wind blows it out, politely refuses requests for help from soccer team who wanted a picture shot of them doing a human pyramid and an old janitor carrying a bunch of equipment. The anime makes their reactions so over the top comical that the soccer team collapses offscreen.
The Bland-Name Product, Spread Soda, which totally is not Sprite.
- When it's spoken out loud however, the name of the soda is given as "Sparite."
- The English version just called it "fizzy water", but you can still clearly see the label on the can.
Polpo's appearance in the anime. He looks like a weird fusion of Jabba the Hutt, Gru from Despicable Me, and a virus zombie from Cells at Work!. And he is massive.
- "I took the liberty of changing one of your guns into your favorite snack. It's your last meal, Polpo. Hope you enjoy it." What better way to kill off Polpo than with Black Comedy?
When the lighter goes out in the English version, Giorno says "Are you shitting me?" The cursing is so natural and out of nowhere that it's hilarious.
In the English version, when Koichi asks "What was that Stand?" towards Giorno after being saved from Black Sabbath, Giorno replies with a rather nonchalant "Didn't you see? The murdering kind."
Soon after, again in the English version, when Giorno explains his plan to lure Black Sabbath into the shadow of a moving object before taking it away, he says Black Sabbath will be "totally whammied".
In an odd case of Mood Whiplash in the anime, when one of Black Sabbath's attempts to grab Giorno fails due to him stepping outside of the shadows in time, its response is to cross its arms and turn away, visibly pouting.

The Mystery of Soft Machine

From the opening narration of episode 5: "Gang members in the city hate standing out, as it can quickly lead to their assassination. So even capos will dress normally to blend in with the crowd, and some even have cover jobs."
- Then only a few minutes later, we see two gang members in ridiculously fashionable clothes and quirky hairdos, steering their car all over the road, causing others to bump into each other, while they're only just trying to have a conversation (about Polpo's death, but still). Very subtle, you guys.
- And simply the fact that literally every gang member except Prosciutto, both in Bucciarati's gang and the enemy gangs, are all dressed so over the top absurd, and all the non-gang members are dressed much more normally. Hell, it may as well be a massive Failed a Spot Check each time they're trying to find the Stand user among the crowd!
The Bucciarati gang's Establishing Character Moments.
- Mista making a fuss over being served four slices of cake. Fugo tells him to just not eat them anyway, but Mista dramatically insists that he still wants to. In the anime, while he's doing this, Abbachio just takes the slice in question with no shits given.
Mista: They might as well have told us to die !
- 16 X 55 = 28. Fugo has Narancia solve a math problem. That was his answer, even after correctly writing down 5 X 6 = 30. Fugo's response? Stab Narancia in the face with a fork and slam his head against the table. Mista and Abbacchio barely paid it any mind, implying that this happens so much it's normal.
  Fugo: MEASLY LITTLE PUNK-SHIT! YOU THINK YOU CAN MESS WITH ME?! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO KEEP TEACHING YOU THIS LESSON?! YOU DENSE CAGACAZZO!!!
  Mista: (as Fugo is banging Narancia's head against the table and yelling in the background) Uh-huh, now he's definitely gone off the deep end. Hey, Abbacchio, you gonna eat the rest of that cake or what?
- Before Narancia and Fugo can start a fight, Bucciarati arrives to introduce Giorno to the group. They all shoot a Death Glare at Giorno for a moment before immediately going back to acting normal as if they weren't just trying to kill each other.
- The sheer absurdity of the fact that Giorno is younger than Narancia.
  Narancia: What, really? Ha, I got two years on you, buddy boy.
- Then Abbacchio, who's been passively silent in the wake of his teammates' antics up to this point, takes a tea kettle, pisses in it, and serves it to Giorno.
- Giorno notices the scent, secretly changes one of his teeth into a jellyfish, and dramatically sips the whole damn cup in one go while the jellyfish absorbs all the liquid.
  Narancia: THAT'S NASTY AS HELL!
Mista shorts out Narancia's radio by pouring his drink (the previously-mentioned Sparite) onto it.

Sex Pistols Appears

Just before going after Soft Machine, Giorno mentions his dream. Cue Abbachio's reaction.
Japanese version: "What are you on about?"

English version: "What the hell does that mean?"
After Zucchero is defeated, Narancia, Mista, and Fugo start dancing... no, really.
- They were doing this while Zucchero, as a disembodied head, was hung by Mista on a fishing hook by the eyelid, while his eyes were being cooked by the sun magnified through a pair of glasses.
- The anime actually expands the scene with Mista and Fugo joining in after Narancia starts it up, and Zucchero's brain starts suffering brief bouts of a Disney Acid Sequence in sync to the music!
- And best of all, the entire torture dance sequence is exactly six panels long in the manga. One would expect the anime to make it a quick throwaway gag, but David Production went all-out with this particular segment, playing it like a music video, complete with trippy visuals!
- The mere fact that when Mista notices Narancia dancing, he joins in and syncs his moves up perfectly, and then Fugo notices them dancing and does the same, both times without prompting. The only explanation barring Rule of Funny is the idea that the three of them have practiced this dance before.
- In addition, once they return from below deck, Abbacchio and Bucciarati walk in on them mid-dance and don't react like this is anything strange; they've seen it so many times before that they don't care.
  - The anime shows that the gang is playing the music that they're dancing to in-universe, so Zucchero can probably hear that, but considering that his face is pointed at the sky (so that the sunlight can be magnified directly into his eyeball), it's unlikely that he can see the dancing ^note the cuts make it inconsistent whether his head is pointed towards the dancing trio or off to the side. This makes the dance completely detached from the actual torture, which means that Narancia, Mista, and Fugo are really only doing this to pass the time while Zucchero's eyeball fries.
  - And to top it off, Abbacchio uses his Stand to listen to Zucchero's radio call, meaning that absolutely none of this — including the actual torture — was needed.
  - Additionally, Zucchero had his mouth zippered shut during the scene, so he couldn't tell them anything even if he wanted to. In fact, given his panicked muffled shouts, he might have been trying to.
- The final line by Mista before Abbacchio told them to cut it out. It looked like a normal line, but Kosuke Toriumi's delivery in a casual Troll-y tone zips it up to this level.
  Mista: If you're not going to tell us the name of your partner who's coming after us and his Stand ability... You should probably start worrying about your other eye, Mister Zuccherooooo~! (Zucchero-san yoooooo~!)
- And not to be outdone, the English version as well, even if Sean Chiplock had to replace a certain word.
  Mista: If you won't fess up about the name and powers of your stalker friend, then I suppose we're done. You might want to start to worry about the well-being of your good eye. Hear what I'm sayin', you bobbleheaded turd burglar?!
While sneaking around on Capri while trying to capture Zucchero's partner, Mista randomly pulls out some dining utensils, Tuscan Salami, bread, and a small bottle of wine. When Giorno calls him out that their target could move much sooner and that now is no time to eat, Mista snaps back that his Sex Pistols are expecting their lunchtime.
- Also, the Pistols bickering with each other over wanting to be fed the most, and Mista scolding them like a frustrated dad with a bunch of rowdy toddlers.
Mista: You can take your nap after we've done our job, okay?

Pistols: (whining) Aaaaawwwww!
- Mista was also dining on a small table. Where the hell did he pull that out from?
Mista, being forced to fight Sale on top of a moving truck, repeatedly telling the driver when to stop and drive at different points. The poor, poor driver freaks out, confused whether to stop or drive because Mista keeps threatening him either way.
- After the fight, the truck driver complains to himself about being ordered around the entire time and swears to himself that he'd tell whoever tells him how to drive and where again to piss off. Then Giorno, who has no idea that the situation is resolved and was still trying to find a car to get to Mista, hops in the truck, and tells him to drive to the top of the mountain.
  Giorno: (enters the truck) Sorry to intrude, but we have to move it. I'm after someone, and need you to take me to the top of the island right now!
  Driver: (grits his teeth in hesitation)
  Giorno: (slams the dashboard and angrily demands) WELL DON'T JUST SIT THERE! WE HAVE TO GO! YOU ARE PLANNING TO HELP ME, RIGHT!?
  Driver: (scared) Right. Let's go...
- Made even more hilarious when you remember that DIO pulled the same stunt on a hapless civilian to chase Joseph and Kakyoin, complete with Giorno needing to threaten the poor guy when he doesn't reply fast enough. At least Giorno didn't kill his impromptu patsy-through-threat-of-violence when he was done with him.
When Mista finally manages to land half a bullet into Sale's head, he stands motionless for a few moments... leaving Mista wondering if he actually survived that...then he promptly goes wall-eyed in the most hilarious way possible before he drops seemingly dead.
- After which, the Pistols start celebrating and high-fiving each other... except poor 5, whom 3 punches in the face until he cries.

Narancia's Aerosmith

To mend a gunshot wound Mista sustained in his fight with Sale, Narancia and Fugo, in a grand display of ingenuity, staple his wound shut.
- Mista is worried for a moment, but then he says that he likes how it looks.
There are two janitors that arrive at the bathroom they were hiding in. Narancia steps out to stop them, only for one of the Janitors to pull a "I don't see your name on it" and go in anyway. Narancia pulls a knife on him and immediately gets his ass kicked. Then we find out that was Trish and an escort in disguise who were there to hand her off to Bucciarati and the group.
- Then when Trish changes out of her disguise, she asks Fugo for his coat and uses it as a handkerchief:
  Trish: I'm out of handkerchiefs, so go buy me one. While you're at it, get more nylons and Givenchy Blush No. 2. Oh, and those nylons better be the ones with the garter at the thigh. And grab a copy of Vogue Italia. Mineral water would be nice, too. But it has to be from France; I'd rather keel over than drink that other stuff. When you're done ogling the scenery, get started on that list.
  Fugo: (brief silence, then he throws his coat in frustration) ARGH!
Narancia goes shopping.
- The sight of a bizarrely-dressed kid driving a car too big for him is funny enough, but it gets even better when he starts playing the same song from the torture dance on the radio!
- And prior to this, Fugo tries to give him instructions on how to drive in circles to avoid being followed back to the hideout. In a repeat of the math problem incident, Fugo tries to make Narancia repeat what was told to him, and painfully jabs him with the car key whenever he's wrong. Narancia complains to Abbacchio, who only has the worst "I'm Surrounded by Idiots" expression in response.
- And when Abbacchio insists that Narancia go shopping as his Stand ability would be useful to avoid being detected, Narancia gets all smug about it and laughs in Fugo's face while twirling the keys on his finger.
- Formaggio's reaction once a pissed off Narancia brings out Aerosmith to shoot the crap out of him? He slowly closes the car's window.
- Narancia takes way longer than it should to figure out that he was shrinking. His knife and his shoe became significantly "bigger" and he became too short to drive the car Bucciarati rented for him. Narancia's conclusion? None of them belonged to him. Obviously. Formaggio's reaction to this is either amusement (anime) or genuine annoyance and disbelief (Manga).
  - Speaking of Narancia, Aerosmith is a Super-Persistent Predator in stand form. Cue a succession of You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! moments from Formaggio.
The anime added a small scene for La Squadra. Just chilling out at a restaurant in their flashy get-ups. Formaggio casually ribs Pesci for ordering a glass of milk at a fancy restaurant, prompting Prosciutto to admonish him for making the rest of the Hitman Team look lamer by comparison while trying to teach him more of the basics of being an assassin. As their target and his date leave the restaurant, Melone licks his lips while staring at her legs, prompting the rest of the team take a moment to give him a collective "dude, what the hell?" look as he sheepishly grins.
Pesci is bizarre looking, even for the standards of Jojo. Just look at him.
- Unlike the other members of La Squadra at the restaurant, he refuses to drink alcohol or coffee because of his nervous stomach, opting to drink milk instead. While he's visible affected by Formaggio's horrifying way of assassinating his target, his shocked expression and frozen face may also be the poor guy realizing that the keys that Formaggio had "gifted" to him earlier in their conversation were the keys to the murder weapon.
- His lack of neck and chin is further emphasized in the anime where it does a rubbery sound whenever Pesci turns his head around.
In a bit of Black Comedy, Formaggio laughing about how huge Polpo's corpse was, and how they would probably have to chop him up into little pieces to even fit in the crematorium.
In Narancia's flashback, Fugo yelling "I'D LIKE TO FEED HIM SOME SPAGHETTI, PLEASE!"

Man in the Mirror and Purple Haze

Abbacchio pokes Giorno's chest while they argue about leaving Fugo behind.
- What makes it absolutely hilarious is the way it's framed: the camera first pans across a closeup of Abbacchio's eyes, then zooms in to the heart-shaped window exposing Giorno's chest, followed by Abba's finger poking the bare skin with a sharp noise and Giorno slightly recoiling.
- The Memetic Mutation following this scene makes it even funnier, due to its Ho Yay implications, as well as the fact that Giorno is only 15, which spawned tons of memes about the FBI chasing down Abbacchio.
When Fugo's Stand, Purple Haze, appears, it at first seems to be a Knight of Cerebus... then it suddenly starts its obsessive self-cleaning, complete with a closeup of its sparkling leg after it's done with it. The noises it makes while doing so are comedy gold.
- Just the way it's grossed out by its own drool, and completely freaks out making bird noises, is the cherry on top.
- The very implication that just about all Stands have some kind of personality or idiosyncrasy without the Stand user being around to rein them in!
- The anime makes it better. The moment that it accidentally drools on its leg again, it flounders for a moment before giving an absolutely distraught scream as it lashes out at the world, arguably more upset at still being dirty than the loss of its user.
- Further, Phillip Reich's perfect delivery of "Uh, what's it doing?"
The brick snake. Giorno turns a brick into a snake, whose midsection is still a brick. Then the brick snake slithers away, making scraping brick noises as it goes.
In order to survive deliberately infecting himself with Purple Haze's virus, Giorno uses his Stand to make a snake (which is immune due to the brick it was made from being exposed to the virus) and extracts its blood to use as an antiviral serum, which Gold Experience injects into him by stabbing him with its fingers. Obviously, the process of injecting it and curing the virus must be extremely painful, but the anime turns this into a comedic moment by showing Giorno rolling around on the floor while screaming in pain in an over-the-top way. Meanwhile, Fugo is having a heartfelt internal monologue about how amazing Giorno is while he's still rolling around on the ground, admittedly muffled by Fugo's internal dialogue, audibly howling in pain.
- On YouTube, all of the comments on the video for that scene are about how this scene is Abbacchio's favorite video.
  - As an add-on to this, Abbachio notes that if Illuso gets the key, not only will they have failed the mission, but Giorno will have been right. He then uses his Giorno-hate as motivation to win.

Express Train to Florence

Narancia nonchalantly tossing the newly acquired key over to Abbacchio, which instead lands on his wrist. The same wrist Abbacchio had to cut off to get the key away from Illuso and then visibly reattached by Bucciarati's Stand off-screen apparently 15 minutes ago. Cue immense pain for Abbacchio.
Fugo falling face-first into Trish's boobs. Initially Fugo ponders at Trish's current situation. Then Mista ice-breaking the moment by telling him that he can't help but stare at Trish's chest. Fugo gulps and sweats, but when the van suddenly turns makes Fugo stumble and fall onto Trish's chest. Mista then proceeds to pull a Suspiciously Specific Denial until Fugo calls him out.
- This moment is even worse in the manga, as not only is Trish's areola is visible, and Mista says the boss will KILL Fugo for looking.
Mista: WAAAAAAAAAAAGH! (pulls Fugo away from a shocked Trish) Please forgive Fugo! He didn't mean any harm! He wasn't trying to take advantage of sudden braking to see your breasts or stroke your thighs under your skirt! He just couldn't help himself!
Fugo: Hey, stop that! I actually lost my balance, but you're making it sound worse!
Mista: PLEASE DON'T TELL THE BOSS, OKAAAAAY?!
- The English version has its own charm to it, made even more hilarious by Sean Chiplock's delivery.
Mista: AAAAAAAAAAGH! (pulls Fugo away from a shocked Trish) Please, miss, you gotta forgive Fugo! He didn't mean to come off as an over-eager horn-dog! I know it seems like we hit the brakes so my man here can peek at those jaunty jiggle-sacks, but I give you my word that's not it! Blame his weakness in the face of boobs!
Fugo: Just shut up, would ya!? I was bracing for impact, and you're making it sound like I was trying to cop a feel!
Mista: JUST PROMISE ME WHATEVER YOU DO YOU WON'T TELL THE BOSS!!!
On paper, Bucciarati struggling to find a lock to fit the Boss' key into while two assassins are closing in him, only to find a turtle with a hole that's the exact same shape of the key is hilarious. That, and the fact he had no idea that they were already following him from several feet the whole time.

The Grateful Dead

After finally defeating Prosciutto and Pesci and discovering that Trish is a Stand User Bucciarati spends a moment in shock with a tiny bubble in the corner of the page with Sex Pistols mentioning that he had completely forgotten about Mista, who is pictured lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood. Sadly, this detail didn't make it into the anime.
- Another gag that wasn't adapted was when the rest of the gang turned back to normal. Abbacchio and Fugo have no idea what was happening because they were asleep the entire time, and Abbacchio only wakes up briefly to tell Giorno to keep watch. Narancia, who was awake to feel the effects of the Grateful Dead, doesn't remember anything and his main gripe was the dead banana he was about to eat a while ago, which he proceeds to pester Giorno over.

Baby Face

While the gang is inside Coco Jumbo, Mista is surprised to see the Pistols munching on a hamburger, which they stole from the truck driver. The driver, surprised to see his burger gone and a turtle in its place, picks up Coco Jumbo to investigate...and then Mista reaches out of the turtle and punches him out cold.
- And then the truck predictably crashes.
While inside Coco Jumbo, Trish exclaims that she needs to pee. Cue Bucciarati making a zipper inside a closet and telling her to use it as a toilet. Trish is visibly horrified.
Bucciarati: This closet will be our bathroom. Have at it.
Trish: "Have at it"?!
Bucciarati: I assumed you needed to use it.
Trish: !?
Bucciarati: I don't know where this portal leads, but I'm sure the turtle will be fine. It might actually be good for him.
Trish: Huh? What do you mean? Please tell me that you're not suggesting that I-!
- Giorno then interrupts the scene by peeking into the hidden room, confirming Bucciarati a car has been procured. From Bucciarati and Trish's POV his face is absolutely HUGE.
Melone "educating" Baby Face is Black Comedy in spades, where he reads children's books to it, with pictures of various animals, teaching it things about each animal, then showing all of aforementioned animals attacking and killing Bucciarati.
- Then he shows it another panel of various sports objects, then teaches how to use them in "fun" ways, cutting to pictures of killing the rest of Bucciarati's group!
- It doesn't help that the pictures of Bucciarati's team members on Melone's computer are awkwardly super deformed, like poorly-drawn chibis that bear a slight resemblance to Koichi.
- Melone's complaint about Baby Face in the English version:
Remote tracking is great until daddy's little death machine decides to go off the rails.
Giorno trying to warn the rest team that he's under attack after Baby Face cuts out his throat. Narancia takes Giorno's waving as Bucciarati telling them to hurry up on stealing a car.
During the battle against Baby Face, Giorno turns his own hand into a piranha and uses it to chew apart Baby Face from the inside! Kars would be proud.
As it burns to death, Baby Face is groaning out various synonyms of "burning."

White Album

Ghiaccio's Establishing Character Moment—comes in two flavors!
Ghiaccio (Japanese): I was told to leave no stone unturned and take a leaf out of someone's book if I have to, in order to find them... I get the "leave no stone unturned" part. I totally get it. I mean, you have to turn stones over to find stuff. *begins wrecking his car* BUT WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MEAN TO "TAKE A LEAF OUT OF SOMEONE'S BOOK"?! WHAT'S A LEAF DOING INSIDE A BOOK?! DAMN IT! WHAT'S THAT EVEN SUPPOSED TO MEAN?! WHY THE HELL IS THERE A LEAF IN A BOOK?! YOU THINK I'M STUPID?! DAMN IT!

Ghiaccio (English): There's only one way to catch these guys. "Leave no stone unturned and think outside the box", they said. I get "leaving no stone unturned". Any idiot would. I mean, who hasn't turned over rocks to find stuff? *begins wrecking his car* BUT WHAT THE HELL IS "THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX" EVEN SUPPOSED TO MEAN?! MAYBE I THINK BETTER IN THERE! DAMN IT! SO MY BRAIN'S IN A BOX NOW?! THAT'S THE DUMBEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD! THINK I'M AN IDIOT, CAZZO?!
A flashback shows how Mista came to join the gang: Bucciarati bailed him out of prison and ordered him some food. Bucciarati orders four bruschetta, causing Mista to eye him suspiciously, but at the last moment, Bucciarati orders five for Mista, but another food for himself, prompting a smile from Mista and him saying "I'll do it. I actually think we make an awesome team. That's why I'm agreeing to it. But first... order me a dolce ^note Italian for "sweets", i.e. desserts, too. Oh, and some torta alle fragole ^note Italian for "strawberry cake"." That's right, Mista joined Passione because their leader doesn't order four bruschettas.
- Later made more hilarious with the fact that Mista is the fourth member to join Passione under Bucciarati.
Mista and Giorno driving away at full speed down the highway, desperately fleeing from the world's angriest ice skater. That is all.
Speaking of, Mista's nickname for Ghiaccio at one point: "Freaky the Snowman"
Ghiaccio pissed off mid-battle by Giorno mispronouncing Venice. Makes you wonder how often he disrupted the Squad's activities by randomly ranting off-topic things.
Ghiaccio: Everyone knows the capital of France. But English speakers pronounce it "Paris", while most say "Paree", the way it's supposed to be. But somehow, "Venice" has replaced the real "Venezia" as the global standard. Like those stories, The Merchant of Venice and Death in Venice... (clenches his teeth, then throws out his frustration) WHY?! CALL THE DAMN BOOK DEATH IN VENEZIA ! IT'S NOT THAT HARD! ARE WE NOT GOOD ENOUGH?! LEARN A LITTLE ITALIAN, PUTTANA, AND CALL THE THING WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE! WHAT KIND OF POMPOUS BULLSHIT ARE THEY ON ABOUT?!
- During the dramatic color shifts, Ghiaccio's hair sometimes turns pink, and given his hairstyle it looks like his brain is showing.
- When Mista loses a finger, he seems to be more distressed that he only has 4 fingers left, than the fact that he lost a body part to frostbite!
The infamous "Golden Succ" scene. At first, it is a heartwarming moment for Giorno and Mista when Mista acknowledges that he and Giorno's resolve are not so different. After their fight with Ghiaccio, Giorno has to heal Mista by turning the bullets in his wounds into flesh that patches up his wounds. However, the process is extremely painful, meaning Mista groans and howls in pain while Giorno is bent over him, touching his body all over. Even Giorno warns Mista that Gold Experience isn't suited to fix things.
- In the English version, how Mista asks Giorno to heal him:
  Mista: Could you please heal me? I'm dying.
- Plus, while Giorno was restoring the wounds, it hurting for Mista lead to him saying some insinuating stuff in Comical Overreacting way:
  Mista: GAGH! Ugh, what the hell?! Do you have to be so rough, Giorno?! Take it easy on me, I'm injured!
  Giorno: I already told you, there's nothing I can do. Settle down and take it like a mafioso. Besides, there's about 18 more to go, and you'll have to strip if you want this to work.
- To add insult to injury, Narancia saw most of it, making him pull Joseph's "OH MY GOD" face. The anime version of this scene omits said gesture, but Narancia's WTF reaction is much more pronounced, combined with Dramatic Thunder.
  Mista: Ack! Giorno!
  Narancia: There they are! Hey, Mista! Gio–
  Mista: Be gentler! Be gentler, damn it! Don't take off my clothes! I'll feel it more!
  Narancia: !!!!!! (surprised, then immediately cowers in embarrassment)
  Bucciarati: Well, Narancia? Did you find those two?
  Narancia: Huh? W-well, u-um… N-No! Huh!? Suddenly there's something in my eye? I can't see! I can't see them clearly!
  Mista: Giorno, no! Don't! N-no more! I-I can't! BE GENTLER, DAMMIII~T!!!
- In the anime, it doesn't help that the outro song is Freek'n You, which plays instantly after the entire scene.
- Also, the anime includes a romantic but otherwise comedic Venetian styled music for this scene. And it is the exact same music when Mista feeding his Sex Pistols!
- Giorno's position in the anime is even more hilarious when it looks like he is giving Mista a handjob before lowering his head at his crotch level. Is it any wonder why Narancia misunderstood the situation?
- Bucciarati states that Giorno and Mista must be "bored out of their minds since nothing is happening". This could be interpreted as them being so bored that they had to get it on to burn some time!
- The voice acting for this scene only adds to the hilarity. Needless to say, Mista Screams Like a Little Girl!
- As per usual, Sean Chiplock is just a treat in the English version, with him sounding downright operatic at the end.
  Mista: GAH! GIORNO!
  Narancia: There they are! Mista-! Huh?
  Mista: Would you stop doing so hard?! Ah, leave my damn clothes on, it's too intense!
  Narancia: !!!!!! (surprised, then immediately cowers in embarrassment)
  Bucciarati: Narancia? Did you find them?
  Narancia: Uh, why...uh...no...but...agh, there's something in my eyes! It's so hard to see in this early-morning light, but I'll keep at it!
  Mista: Agh, Giorno! No! Stop! Agh! I can't take it anymore! NOT SO ROUGH, DAMMIII~T!!!

The Mystery of King Crimson

Though it's meant to be a dark and threatening scene where King Crimson is first revealed, it ends up becoming a bit of Narm in the anime because Epitaph, the smaller face on King Crimson's forehead, is somewhat poorly drawn in further-away shots. Sometimes it even looks happy! ◊
The scene where Bucciarati decides to betray the gang and leaves behind Fugo is a tragic and powerful scene...if it weren't for Narancia being inexplicably able to talk underwater as he desperately swims after Bucciarati's boat.

Betrayal

Clash and Talking Head

The group is eating, then Narancia accidentally stains some dude's clothes. The man gets angry and shouts at Narancia, who, being Narancia, almost mechanically uppercuts the man with a glass of wine thinking he's an assassin. Then Mista joins in on kicking the crap out of him.
Man: The hell are you doing you spindly little shit!?
Narancia: What the?
Man: (grabs Narancia) You think I'm gonna let you get away with this!? This stain is gonna cost you! My suit cost four million lire pal! Now I'm gonna make you pay!
(Narancia squints his eyes, then retaliates by smacking him with the glass of red wine he was holding)
Narancia: So you're our next foe!
Mista: What!?
(One second later, Narancia and Mista start kicking the man)
Narancia: Don't hear you denying it!
Mista: You trying to start trouble!?
Narancia: Take that cazzone! And that! And that! And one of these!
- Abbacchio stares at the beatdown with contempt for a few seconds and just takes a long swig of red wine. Then the scene immediately cuts to him joining in the beatdown shortly after before he stops and realizes he's not an enemy, then wonder about whether the stain can be cleaned and how to do it. While the man is unconscious. Seemingly not noticing the blood stains on his suit from the beatdown. Comedic sociopathy, thy name is Jojo.
- The guy is also dressed in duller colors that actually would blend in with a normal crowd. Which, given JJBA's track record, means that he most definitely is NOT a Stand User. He doesn't have the fashion sense of one.
- Mista and Narancia's kicks are kind of pathetic when it's just the two of them. Only once Abbacchio joins in do their kicks seem to actually do harm to this poor schmuck, heavily implying that Abbacchio had to demonstrate how to curb stomp someone properly so that the knuckleheads would get it right.
- Before that, Giorno noted that the food could have been poisoned by Passione after they defected. So Abbacchio feeds the unconscious man.
  Abbacchio: Before we let this guy go, let's have him taste our food for poison.
  Narancia: (chuckles)
  Mista: Now we're talking!
  Abbacchio: Down the hatch.
Narancia's antics in trying to warn/protect the gang from danger while under the effects of Tiziano's Stand, Talking Head, which attaches itself to the victim's tongue and makes Narancia say the opposite of he's actually thinking.
- Every time one of the group asks if he's okay. To which he shakes his head yes and..
  Narancia: Yes, I'm alright. (No! That's not it!)
- Narancia trying to keep Giorno from taking the canal to escape, knowing that the water would make it easier for Clash to attack. Only from Giorno's perspective, Narancia keeps agreeing with him and contradicting himself by physically keeping him from walking over to the boat.
- He comes with another solution for telling them about the other Stand attacking them (Manga only, sadly), Squalo's Clash, by writing down "Water's its weapon! There's a Stand beneath my tongue!'' on his arm. Instead:
- Narancia's solution for keeping Abbacchio from investigating a public toilet: By pissing in the toilet. And Talking Head is forcing Narancia to tell him to look at it. Watching Abbacchio freaking out is priceless.
  Narancia: Look at me! (Don't look at me!) Look in here! (Don't look in here!)
  Abbacchio: Wh-what the hell? That's disgusting!
  Narancia: Come over here, Abbacchio! (Don't come, Abbacchio!) Look in here! (Don't look in here!)
  Abbacchio: What are you talking about!? Have you turned into some kind of pervert!?
  Mista: We're trying to investigate because you said you saw the enemy in here! Did you see them in here?
  Narancia: Of course I—! (closes his mouth)
  Abbacchio: Seriously, what's your problem?
- The best thing about this is that Abbacchio is in no place to think that looking at Narancia's piss is disgusting and perverted.
Narancia's comment upon using Aerosmith's propellers on Clash:
"There are plenty of ways to fillet a homicidal fish!!"

Notorious B.I.G

Creepiness aside, Carne. If you thought Pesci was a mess, take a look at this guy. Also, his fly is open.
- In a meta sense, the fact that the studio actually bothered to cast a new voice actor (a pretty noteworthy one too) for a character with less than a minute of screentime before he bites the dust... By the way, those lines consist in a chuckle, some sounds of pain and the screeches that Notorious B.I.G makes... that's all.
As a precaution for the severed fingers Giorno found in a fridge, Bucciarati declares that he's going to throw them out with Sticky Fingers. While on a moving plane. The rest of the Gang understandably panic and hold on to the chairs while Bucciarati zips them out so quickly that no suction occurs.
Bucciarati: Guess you didn't need to hang on after all.
- The fact that he didn't bother to calm them down and explain exactly what was going to happen is this. Either Bucciarati didn't see what the difference would be if he did or he took the opportunity to be a Troll.
- Before this, when the guys were talking about the fingers in the fridge, we get this gem in the English version of the anime:
After getting rid of the severed fingers Giorno is back in his seat on the plane. He notices some writing scribbled on the wall and muses about it before wondering how it got there. As the scribbles become more and more ominous he stumbles across "Notorious B.I.G.", followed by his own name. Cue Giorno exclaiming "WHAAAAT?!" in the most ridiculous and over the top way, not unlike a certain father of his. It gets even better when not more than a few seconds later he yells it again.

Spice Girl

Diavolo's escape from the hotel room when the cleaning lady came in after the Notorious B.I.G fight counts as this under fridge humor. This is because King Crimson can only erase up to 10 seconds of time, meaning that in 10 seconds, he 1) Somehow managed to keep all his notes and photos of the protagonists and various miscellaneous stuff, 2) Clean up the wrecked laptop and 3) Jump out the window. It's like the situation when Polnareff encounters DIO and The World for the first time. Summed up in this comic dub.
As Trish is defeating Notorious B.I.G (by tricking it into following the burning plane) Spice Girl gives the most sassy Oh no you don't finger wag when Trish states no one else will get hurt. Also her using Bucciarati's catchphrase 'Arrivederci'.

My Name is Doppio

Doppio's antics of swinging back and forth between funny and downright creepy.
- His "phone call" is even more hysterical in the anime, randomly imitating a ringtone with a high pitch. Counts as a Mood Whiplash as well, coming after almost murdering a taxi driver.

"Green Day" and "Oasis"

In the anime when Cioccolata is having his moment with Secco, his voice actor's delivery of the "Good good good"s sounds oddly amusing and in a strangely affectionate manner.
The start of Bucciarati's fight with Secco, where the latter gets his words messed up and Bucciarati bothers to correct him.
Secco: How dare you ambush me back in that village back... I'm never falling for that again. How dare you do cleaver!? No wait... something so lever... no wait... something so beaver. Wait, or was it sever? Griever?
Bucciarati: You mean "clever?"
Secco: !!?. I knew that, dammit! What are you, a language teacher?! Y-y-you jerk!
- The English version instead has Secco trying to call Bucciarati a son of a brick? Porch?
Bucciarati: The word you want is "bitch".
- Immediately after this, Secco pulls out his camera to set up a recording of the fight. Bucciarati is in mild disbelief for a seconds, and tries pulling a cheap shot on Secco while he's distracted. He gets kicked in the face for it.
Cioccolata is one of the most dangerous and evil opponents that the group faces. Which makes it that much funnier when Giorno finally gets the drop on him. The result? Seven solid pages of nothing but Giorno pummeling the everloving hell out of Cioccolata. And then as the coup de grace, Cioccolata lands in the back of a garbage truck when the beatdown is finally over. In the anime, the trash compactor closes in on itself right after Cioccolata's landing as a final "fuck you" for the Mad Doctor.
- Also, in the official subs, seconds before the whole beatdown, Cioccolata, in his last effort to kill Giorno, says (referring to his enemy) "Y... You're so mean!" (instead of the "Y... You sick bastard!" presented in the manga scans). The irony that a nutjob like Cioccolata (who has killed lots of people and recorded their deaths, as well as committing genocide in Rome) would say something like that aside, it makes him sound like a whiny kid complaining about something minor, instead of one of the most dangerous villains of the series.
  - The English version goes for this gem of a line - "W... What did you just call me!?" Cioccolata, after getting brain damage from the beetle, manages to regain all functions all because he was offended. And because we know "Muda" means "useless" in Japanese, Giorno essentially responds by calling him useless with every punch! So yeah, Giorno is outright insulting him as he beats him up with every punch!
- If you listen carefully amidst the 'mudas' at the last scene, you can hear Cioccolata begging Giorno to stop, which Giorno does so by giving him the last punch right to the aforementioned garbage truck.
When Giorno and Pistol #5 investigate the helicopter, they are ambushed by Cioccolata, who had hidden himself in the helicopter. When Giorno tries to restrain him, he responds by cutting his own body in half, followed by a creepy yet utterly hilarious scene of Ciocolatta's upper half struggling to escape by flopping away like a fish out of water, his spine trailing behind him as he wriggles to safety. ◊
Listening to Cioccolata's voicemail, Secco becomes delirious at the promise of FIVE sugar cubes, causing him to make ridiculous barking noises and the background to turn pink with hearts.
Cioccolata and Secco are featured as boss fights in the PS2 game. In Giorno's fight against the former, Cioccolata is his main target, while Green Day... just kind of slides around the rooftop in whatever way it feels like, ambivalently sponging out its mold while its master is getting pummeled to bits.
The fact that the person Secco holds hostage was Doppio, and nobody knew it. As a comment put it, Part 5 could have been ended right there if Bucciarati had let the kid die with Secco instead of phasing through him.
Secco's death, especially in the anime. After having Bucciarati sealing his left arm with a zipper (while he has Oasis's ability activated, a process who would turn his throat into mud, killing him), he tries to escape from the battlefield, only to trip down just as, at the same time, an inflammable garbage truck was passing by and stopped right after him, falling into it in a pretty ridiculous fashion, mirroring Cioccolata's fate an episode ago. It has to be seen to be believed.
- Even better when you realize it's the same truck that Cioccolata fell into, as Secco began to shout his name after tripping into the truck.

His Name is Diavolo

Realizing that Bucciarati can't see or hear anyone but him, Doppio pretends to be an innocent bystander helping him out. Until he sees the rest of the gang and moves to kill Bucciarati in a panic when Mista's walking over. Then:
Doppio: [Makes ringing noises] I-I wonder what that sound was. [More ringing noises]
Bucciarati: What the hell are you doing? What did you just say?
- Doppio assumes this is going to blow his cover. When he picks the phone he... has a surprising choice of words for the boss.
  Doppio: YOU FRIGGIN' DUMBASS! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING ME RIGHT NOW?! DO YOU WANT HIM TO FIND OUT!?
- Yelling shouldn't be helping matters at all, but Bucciarati doesn't bat an eye and the Gang don't even notice the random yelling.
Bucciarati, now only being able to see Doppio as Trish, inadvertently outs him to Polnareff as a girl. This is what Diavolo, of all people, tells Doppio to do to ward off suspicion. And it works.
Diavolo: Listen to me. This is what you're going to say: "Do you have a problem with me being a girl" Go on, say it Doppio!
Doppio: Do you have a problem with me being a girl!?
Polnareff: (Beat) ....I guess I said something I shouldn't have.
- In the English version, rather than tell him to say anything specific, Diavolo tells Doppio to "act furious at [Polnareff] for doubting your femininity." Kinda makes you wonder what his relationship with Donatella was like if he's able to come up with on-the-spot responses to how a woman would react to that.
Then, despite being generally no-nonsense during this Part, Polnareff feels the need to make this comparison when telling Doppio (who he believes to be Trish) to be slow:
Polnareff: "Move slowly! Like you're lifting up your skirt!"
The English version gives us this absolute gem of a line from Polnareff.
Polnareff: Walk up those steps and see what happens, asshole! I have the high ground while you're stuck way down there!
It wasn't as clear in the manga, but Silver Chariot throws a wheel-chaired Polnareff through the air to try and escape from Diavolo. Polnareff, you've done some stupid things before, but what were you trying to accomplish by flinging yourself straight up?
When Diavolo finally reveals himself, the Boss who has extremely draconian methods to make sure he remained the anonymous leader of Passione to the point he tried to kill his daughter who wasn't even aware of his existence prior to the Boss finding out and having Bucciarati's group escort her to him; has an extremely noticeable appearance even by Passione's already outlandish standards: long pink hair with green dots, dark lipstick, and an extravagant mesh shirt that exposes his upper torso with a well muscled figure. The contrast between his goal to remain anonymous and this glaring look is something very hilarious. It's not helped that he drew attention to himself by taking off his shirt to change from Doppio to Diavolo in a very suggestive way.

The Requiem Quietly Plays

The whole body-swap thing. But Mista and Trish's reactions to it take the cake.
Trish: (looking at a mirror) Oh, no. I... I...
(Mista and Trish looking at each other, then suddenly...)
Trish: WHAT'S WITH THIS FACE!? THIS BODY! (smells herself) I-I stink! My armpits... smell so baaaaaaaaaad!
Mista: H-Hey, come on, Trish! That's not the problem right now! We were attacked by a Stand. It's definitely not the boss' King Crimson, but our minds have been swapped for some reason!
[...]
Trish: KYAAAAH! I have hair growing on my fingers, and my nails are so gross and malformed! And they have so much dirt under them! I can't deal with this! (sniffs Mista's hand) I knew it! That stinks, too! Why!? Why did I have to be Mista!?
Mista: How am I supposed to know? Probably because we fell asleep near each other. Is that really what you think about me? (sniffs Trish's hand) Do I smell that bad?
Trish: Hey you! What the hell are you touching there!? (looking at Mista, scratching Trish's groin)
Mista: Whoa, don't get the wrong idea! I wasn't trying to touch it! It's just itchy around the elastic!
Trish: DON'T STICK YOUR FINGER IN MY PANTIES!
Mista: O-okay, I got it!
Trish: If you spread your legs any further, I'll kill you!
Mista: Okay, I get it! But you're wearing panties to make your butt look firmer, so everything's so tight and itchy! You're even wearing a push-up bra.
Trish: (shaking Mista in Trish's body) Just so we're clear, the next time you stick your hand into my skirt, I'll kill you! I'm going to... curse you to death! (cry's over into "Narancia's" chest) Narancia!
Mista: Tch. Don't you get it? That's Giorno. And so what, you're going to kill yourself? (spits)
Trish: STOP THAAAAAAT!
- Finally given an anime adaptation. It really is something else seeing Mista and Trish lose it collectively over their changes, especially Trish who seems to completely disregard that her kinslaying-wannabe father was around recently in favor of telling Mista to not stick his fingers around her body just because he cannot handle tighter fitting underwear.
  - Additionally in the anime version, it's funny to see the normally cool and controlled Giorno (in Narancia's body) actually taken so off-guard by Trish (in Mista's body) crying against him to the point it's Narancia (in Giorno's body) of all people that is looking the most focused and intense.
  - The fact that during the swap, they keep the correct voices, something which is rarely done with body swaps in animation, leading to things like Mista's voice coming out high-pitched and Narancia's being deadpan and serious. The icing on the cake in terms of hilariousness is Giorno going from normally stoic and serious to Narancia's childish and hyper personality, complete with wacky expressions.
  - In the English version, one of the funniest parts is undoubtedly Trish's reaction to Mista making her own body hock up a loogie and spit on the ground. Considering he's also the Guttural Growler extraordinaire Noob Saibot, how high Sean Chiplock's voice goes makes it priceless.
Trish!Mista: (in a ridiculously high-pitched and whiny yell) CUT THAT OOOOOUUUUUUUUUT!
Number One of Mista's Sex Pistols going berserk while attacking him is pretty hilarious, making weird noises and kicking at Trish's body.
- Speaking of Sex Pistols and Trish's body: in the manga, several of them are REALLY happy ◊ that Mista is now a girl.
  - The final bit of icing on the cake is that one must remember that Stands are the extension of a user's soul. It's now safe to say what Mista thinks of Trish.

Gold Experience Requiem

In the anime, Diavolo yells "Who the hell do you think I am?!" Now, remember who his seiyuu voiced?
When Diavolo is first experiencing Gold Experience Requiem's power, he just looks back to see himself in every time frame, and one by one they say "What the?!" over and over again. His internal monologue when this happens is pure gold.
Diavolo: What is this? What the hell is happening to me!? Perhaps, this is an illusion. That cur somehow pulled one over my head...or did he? The only thing that can move within periods of warped time should be me!

Sleeping Slaves (epilogue)

Mista musing on how human flesh probably doesn't taste that good.
- This causes Narancia to not only choke on his food, but snap at Mista & tell him to eat by himself.
  Narancia: What the hell goes on in that messed up head of yours!? That's it! Go sit at the dipshit table!
Rolling Stones taking an elevator to get to Mista, despite not needing to, as it can teleport.
In the anime, after Mista crashes onto the car, Fugo crawls out of it. What makes it hilarious is that it's from far away.
- And if you think about it, this is how Mista started the week. Dude just walked off falling from the seventh floor... and then proceeded to spend the rest of the week accidentally shooting himself in increasingly improbable ways.
The fact that after defeating Diavolo, Trish is snatched from under the Gang's noses yet again, this time by Polnareff, to call attention to the fact that he is still inside the turtle and about to be left behind!
Polnareff ends up inside Coco Jumbo for the rest of his life, living in a comfortable, well-furnished hotel room...with no toilet.
In the finale, when we see Giorno as the Boss of Passione, with the surviving Mista and Polnareff (now a turtle) by his side, we can also see that Giorno has not forgotten the deceased members of the Gang, as they're all represented by objects on the table where Polnareff is. Narancia is the white flower, Bucciarati is the zipper, and Abbacchio is the bottle of wine (or so some fans say; others could point at the yellow flower in the flask with the white flower, but the truth is, both the yellow flower AND the wine bottle can be associated with Abbacchio). However, the label on the wine bottle says "SILENT". What does this mean? It means that, even from beyond the grave, Abbacchio wants Giorno to shut the hell up!
