Squid Girl/Funny

Let's just say it's chock full of many crowning funny moments.

• Sanae's infatuation with Ika reaches hilarious levels many times. She even ships herself to the Lemon Beach House, inside a box with no holes on it, and dresses in a giant shrimp costume with no way to breathe.
  • The costume shows up again later, when Ika needs to get over her shrimp craving sickness, without actually eating any. Let's just say Sanae was very happy with the results.
• "Squid Fishing" in episode 3. Just when Nagisa's thinking there's no way Ika would fall for such a thing...
• Oh god, the drum solo...
• Can't sleep, Creepy Doll will eat me...
• Ika versus the cobra.
  • One fansub even goes so far as to write "come at me bro!" during Ika's showdown with it!
• GODZILLA SQUISHED OUR HOU-wait, wasn't this supposed to be a drama?
• Observe what happens when you give Eiko a camera.
• The volleyball tournament in Episode 12 barely gives you time to breathe between gags, as every single recurring character has an Establishing Character Moment!
• Season two of the anime opens with Ika Comically Missing the Point of an alien invasion movie.
• Being a wholly original specimen, Ika's countless mysterious functions are revealed one by one and you just laugh not because they make sense but because they don't make sense! E.g.: She can adjust her body weight by a few clicks of her right bracelet, and when she's light enough, she's able to absorb the wind! ...yes, she can fly.
• Ika Musume doing radio exercises. Hilarity Ensues.
• The English lesson in S2 E4.1, especially Eiko's attempt at bluffing like she knows English as well as everyone else (including Ika).
• "I just wanted to feel something that's supposed to be there, but isn't-de geso."
• Ika, and eventually Eiko, Kiyomi, and Sanae, getting roped into playing house with a little girl. ... who watches too many television dramas. Hilarity Ensues.
• Ika Musume meets Mini Ika Musume.
