In the 1999 anime during the airship ride to the second phase of the exam Leorio and Kurapika try to talk to the Hunter examiners to ask them to be lenient with Anita.And Gon isn't even trying to be clever he, as far as he sees it, is pointing out the facts and suggests they find another way to hash it out.Not only is Gon correct, but the examiners and the other applicants, even Hisoka, start cracking up over Gon backing Hanzo into a corner despite spending the entire match getting beaten up. Hanzo, losing patience, threatens to chop off Gon's arm, but then Gon counters that if he bleeds out, Hanzo will be disqualified anyway, so they're technically at an impasse.
Gon is initially subjected to over three hours of Cold-Blooded Torture by Hanzo because Gon refuses to forfeit.
The overall Mood Whiplash in the fight between Gon and Hanzo. An overconfident Hanzo is sure that he will ace the test since he is the only person who knows what sushi is, but since Menchi rejected him by nitpicking it, he ends up revealing the whole process in a tantrum, to which all the other contestants use to make sushi, to Menchi's frustration, since she now has to evaluate them by taste. The real punchline is that Hisoka sees this, quietly retires from the queue and sits by the river, with the exact same dish casted aside. Killua prepares a gourmet plate of fish fillet with sauce and sides, which Menchi rejects despite the preparation level. He ends up doing the exact same thing as Gon and Leorio. Kurapika starts to overthink all of Menchi's clues (her descriptions, the rice cookers, something bite size since she had a pair of chopsticks). After the first clue is revealed to be fresh fish, Leorio and Gon make the mistake of making a live fish wrapped in a rice ball. Menchi's test consists in making all the contestants replicate sushi by only vague descriptions from her. calmly emerging from a lake, carrying a fish in his mouth as if he was a cat. In the second phase, Menchi sends out the applicants to search for the ingredients they need to prepare the dishes. Cue thunderstruck and surprised look by Gon, Killua and Kurapika. 
Leorio: I'm not an old man! Like you guys, I'm still in my teens!
