Bastion/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Any time the narrator snarks.

"And then The Kid fell to his death."
(Kid immediately falls back onto the play area)
"Naw, I'm just foolin'."

    • "You can turn that bull any way you want. It'll still be ugly."
    • "Kid just rages for a while..."
    • "Know how many times The Kid nearly fell off that barge?... not even once."
    • "He cuts down every Stabweed like there's going to be a prize for it."
    • Upon equipping both the Mortar and the Calamity Cannon:

"Now that's just overkill. I mean really -- come on."

    • Upon falling off of the Bastion:

"I've been meaning to put some guard rails there."

    • There are some unused audio files in the game that are actually pretty funny. Link

This microphone smells funny.
You find that old boat? Plant it.
You find a rusty, old pocket watch? Plant it.
Find a copy of Terminator 2 on laserdisk? Plant it.
You find a pair of socks? Plant it.
You find a Milli Vanilli casette tape? Plant it.

    • Upon equipping the Fire Bellows and the War Machete:

"We could have ourselves a mighty fine cookout with those items. Too bad that's not what we're doing."

  • Anytime that a particularly hard boss is defeated by... falling off the playfield. This tends to happen a lot with Scumbags and Lunkheads.
    • Killing a boss with the explosion-on-death effect from Hearty Punch is pretty funny, too, especially if you weren't expecting it/forgot you had it on. Queen Anne the Anklegator is particularly vulnerable to this.
  • The Kid lands at any given area... flat on his face.
