Fable (video game series)/Funny: Difference between revisions

== Fable ==

* The little boy [[Intoxication Ensues|tripping on mushrooms]] in Bowerstone.

** Followed promptly by the Hero grabbing his back and growling in pain.

 

== Fable II ==

* [[Honest John's Dealership|Murgo the trader's]] sales pitch at the start of the game, including hawking a "magic" mirror that makes you look more attractive, but only if you look into it in complete darkness.

* What about at the very end, if you let Lucien talk for long enough? Reaver stands, shoots him in the face and says "Oh, I thought he'd never shut up! Sorry, did you want to kill him?"

* A child might say something like this: "If I hold my breath for 30 seconds, I can see funny stuff".

* One quest has you go into an ancient tomb to find an old woman's son, Charlie. Then it turns out {{spoiler|"Charlie" is a full -grown man and a professional explorer, and his mother is just being [[My Beloved Smother|overprotective]].}}

* [[Flavor Text]] does NOT take itself seriously in this game. For instance, on the Worn Comfy Chair:

* During the prologue, one quest has you deliver a love letter from Monty to his beloved Belinda. You can take the "evil" option and give it to Belinda's cruel and overbearing mother instead, which causes the old woman to storm out, confront the would-be paramour and give him a tongue-lashing. Monty tries to claim that the letter was intended for the mother, and is mortified to find the woman apparently reciprocates his "feelings"...

 

== Fable III ==

* The sidequest "The Game", which has the Hero drafted into playing a tabletop RPG with a trio of proto-geeks. [[Lampshade Hanging]] aplenty ensues, along with some [[Self-Deprecation]] on Lionhead's part.

"[[Continuity Nod|What kind of rubbish game]] lets you [[Anticlimax Boss|kill the villain in one hit]]?"<br />

"Two girls kissing, isn't that kind of a cliche?" "An incredibly ''[[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|hot]]'' cliche." }}

* Jasper's reaction to you putting on your Chicken Suit.

** [[Bragging Rights Reward|Make a royal decree,]] [[Completely Missing the Point|of course.]]

* The [[Enemy Chatter]] among mercs and robbers are hilarious.

* If you toss fireballs at mooks, sometimes they'll say, "Ha ha! Lucky I wore my fireproof underwear today!"

* The Gnomes, replacing the Gargoyles from Fable II, have some hilarious little catchphrases.

"I like to think about puppies. [[Kick the Dog|About slowly, slowly crushing them."]]<br />

"I'd like to get to know someone like you. '''''And then drown them.'''''"<br />

"Heeere doggy doggy. Come over here and die." }}

* Sir Walter Beck gets some good lines. And also says "Balls" a lot.

* The Mistpeak Valley Demon Door is writing a book, and needs two heroes to act out romance for him so he can write it. He sounds like a gentlemen, but after you finish he tells you:

* If you listen to the bandits who robbed a carriage carrying a gargoyle long enough, they'll eventually start debating philosophy ''absolutely seriously'', with the [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|terminology and everything]], trying to justify robbing a carriage they weren't paid to rob that wasn't carrying any money. ''Philosophically''. Glorious.

* Shame on you all for not mentioning how Walter got past a magical barrier set up by a Hobbe. He shouted BOO and the Hobbe was so shocked that the barrier it was keeping up disappeared. And then it died of a heart attack.

*** Anything during sex is funny because people are seriously just standing around WATCHING. But your character is like "Doesn't matter...Had sex!"

* Every single time you make one of the "moral" decrees rather than the "profitable" ones, Reaver makes a hilariously tongue-in-cheek public service announcement trying to put a positive spin on things... from his own twisted point of view.

* After reaching the shores of Aurora, the Hero and Walter start walking into a cave, wherein Walter says a few funny lines, starting with the shouting of his pseudo-catchphrase "balls." Laugh now, because it [[Nightmare Fuel|goes downhill from there]].
