Cool bits, cracktastic bits

The narrative is about triumph beating the odds. Romance blossoms between a scholar and a woman with a gun, while difficulties they encounter include sex against a wall and nothing being as it seems.

By "cracktastic," I mean giant talking soldier ducks, giant robot chickens, heads in jars, heads in jars because the villain cut them off and put them there and hopes to clone the body and revive it so he can kill the person again, random incest, exploding heads, cannibal zombie angels, giant floating eyeballs, diseases that make your head spontaneously fall off, attacking floating fetuses, boys dressed in girls' sailor suit uniforms, "I cross-dress because it's so relaxing!" transformations into pandas, adorable chibi side illustrations of eyeballs on a platter, characters wearing kimono in Victorian London, little boys with bags over their heads and an axe in their hand, librarian chickens in tennis shoes and bonnets, possessed cockatiels, conjoined twin villains, combat butlers, butlers named Rifael Rafael, prosthetic limbs that double as any kind of weapon but especially guns or rocket-launchers, tentacle rape, characters with missing eyes (it's a thing), "Whatever you brought home, make sure you share it with your brothers! Oh... it's a wife?"
You know. Stuff like that.
What are your favorite cracktastic bits?

Two women who form a secret Vatican hit squad. One woman is a nun with a split personality - one personality is a peace-loving sweet girl and the other is a bloodthirsty assassin - and it's the other woman's job to call the assassin personality out. ("Cross Fire", a short story by the guy who does Hellsing)
Secret Vatican hit squads in general (Hellsing, and probably Trinity Blood, seeing as how the Catholic Church is a major political power and seems to be the enemy in it)
A group of Buddhists with strange powers (one divines by a pendulum, one can talk to the dead, one always has a hand puppet that he claims is possessed by an alien, one is a hacker, and one is an embalmer) who do errands for the dead in order that they can rest in peace. (Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, a totally awesome manga you whould read,
