The Games We Play (RWBY fanfic)/Funny


 * Gamer!Jaune is a lot snarkier than he is in canon -- possibly because, even at his lowest levels, possessing the Gamer's Body makes him far less concerned with injury and pain, allowing him to focus on other things even in the most dangerous of situations -- like inappropriate humor. However, he's not the only one; Adam can be even snarkier, and when the two at them go at it together...

"I then proceeded to start my path to greatness by repeatedly whacking a tree with a blunt object."
 * Jaune's style of snarky and self-deprecating (and often hypocritical) humor is present right from the start:

""But [Ozpin] never tells anyone anything," Raven finished, shaking her head. "We used to joke that he had a horrible disease that would cause him to spontaneously combust if he ever told anyone the full truth about anything. There’s always more to things than he lets on or something at work behind the scenes or something he wants you to figure out for yourself. It’s endlessly annoying." Yeah, people who do stuff like that are assholes."
 * Any time Jaune's Hypocritical Humor is in play, such as this moment from chapter 17:

":''A skill has been created through a special action! Continuous theft has created the skill 'Theft' to take things that belong to others!
 * He's not always terribly happy about what his Semblance decides is worth "commemorating" with a skill. For instance, after he steals a book from a library:
 * ''Mastery of the skill Theft increases! Theft's level goes up by one! Theft's level goes up by one! Theft's level goes up by one! Theft's level goes up by one! Theft's level goes up by one!

Damn it."


 * The moments where he reveals that he has both a kitchen sink and a literally microscopic violin in his inventory just so he can use them as the punchlines for jokes.


 * The end of Jaune and Penny's fight, when he's dismembering her, is the Black Knight scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, complete with Penny as the Black Knight giving the appropriate dialogue. Also a Shout-Out, obviously.
