Ghostbusters: The Video Game/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Egon has quite a few geeky hilarious lines. To wit, after being slimed?

Egon: Ugh, disgusting...but not entirely without scientific interest.

Also:

Egon: Normally, I find exposure to mold...stimulating. But that was a bit much.

  • Ray's mounting frustration from being constantly shushed by The Grey Lady.
  • Towards the end when there is a TV report about a ghost attack at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. The TV has been knocked on it's side and is shown as such. There is a quick cut to the team watching it with there heads turn sideways to see it. Why is it funny? Because you the player most likely have your head turned the same way as them.
  • You and the other guys have defeated the Juvenile Slor and escaped the crumbling Shandor Island within seconds of its total collapse. Ray starts excitedly asking about what you just defeated.

Egon: Ray, SHUT UP.

  • When the elevator at the Sedgewick temporarily stops-

PETER: "Think we're stuck", well let's see... *leans towards panel, presses a few buttons* Think we're stuck, think we're stuck, think we're stuck... Ray, uh, you guys okay with officially stuck in the elevators? Show of hands?

  • Rookie raises his hand*
    • And-
  • Peter, Ray, and Rookie get ready for Slimer. Cut to the elevator doors.*

PETER: Kill it, Ray!

  • Egon opens the elevator doors.*

EGON: Need a hand?
PETER: You always fail me, don't you?

  • One of the Cursed Artifacts you find is a pair of bellbottom pants. Description: These pants keep on truckin' - WITH NOTHING IN THEM. Extra points for disco music when you pick them up.
  • Some of the answering machine messages:

ANSWERING MACHINE: Dr. Spengler, this is James from We Ship It. Listen, you gotta come down and pick up this package of Carpathian Dunnbach[?] mold we've been holding for you. It's started to spread, it's taken over half the loading docks, and I (pause) I think it's singing?!

  • Ray speculating on what the other mood slimes react to:

I wonder what their purpose is, what they would react to? Happiness, sadness, anger, sunlight, moonlight, orbital convergence, shooting stars, prayer, screaming, candles, spotlights, diet or regular... the possibilities are endless!

  • One of Janine's many phone conversations:

Janine: Ghostbusters. *pause* No, we do not recommend you attempt to perform a level 5 Peruvian exorcism on yourself. *pause* But after you've tied yourself up, it would be incredibly difficult to do that to the cat, even if you could catch it.

  • Vigo's painting has many funny things to say.

Vigo: I should have had a bathroom painted in this thing.
Vigo: Pull my finger. I command you.

  • After you defeat the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, the answering machine at the office gives us this little gem:

"I was wondering if it's safe to eat all this marshmallow goo that's fallen over Times Square. And as a followup question, what if I already did?"

  • Another one from Janine:

Janine: Hello, Ghostbusters. No, we do not summon the ghosts of dead relatives and then capture them so you can ask them the combination to the safe. Same to you, pal.
