Most unintentionally hillarious moments in anime?

I reckon the English dub was actually poking fun at the show, because it was just too overacted not to be deliberate.

This is how you kidnap someone with style.

The mood was so serious, and it all happened out of the blue. When I first saw it, I just wondered what the .... was going on.

(Whether the scene was intended to be hilarious, or not, I'm not really sure.)

"Maria-sama ga Miteru" is a fantasy – or so I've been told.

It's also been called a lot of other things, such as "a school comedy," "a soft Yuri novel," "a mystery," etc.

Well, using genres to differentiate between novels certainly makes it easier when organizing or making a recommendation from a massive pile of books but it's never something that should be considered definitive. I'm fine with anyone who reads the book and labels it as 'Such-and-such kind of a novel,' provided it's not too far removed from reality.

So, back to the topic of 'fantasy.'

Consulting the large dictionary I have at hand, words like 'illusion' and 'visions' and 'dreams' are scattered around. There's no dragons or swords or magicians or people with wings, but if you think that, "This world is just slightly different to our own," then I guess it could be called a fantasy novel. Even though it's rude.
