This scene in Aoi Honno actually happened in real life.

From The Notenki Memoirs: Studio Gainax and the men who created Evangelion writtenby Yasuhiro Takeda:

Okada was by far the biggest troublemaker on the set. One day, he was having it out with the rest of the anime staff, arguing about a scene in the climax. A signal fire is coming from a Powered Suit, and the smoke from the fire is supposed to turn into the Ide Gauge. But Okada didn’t like it.

“The Ide Gauge is just weak!” he exclaimed. “It’s got no impact, We should definitely have it form, like, a stylized version of a girl’s pussy! Now that would be impact! We need to do something that’s never been done before - otherwise, there’s no point in doing this at all!”

He started going off about this and just wouldn’t back down. The rest of the staff turned to Kazumi (this was before she married Okada, so she was still Kazumi Amano at the time) and begged her to say something to make him stop. Even then, she was famous for her ability to control him.

“Well, if you really wanna do something no one’s ever done before”, she began, “why don’t you have a shit-eating contest instead? You want impact? That’s impact.”
