'''Pierce:''' You definitely need a stripper pole in this bitch. }}

** The brick joke goes even further; as you progress through the game, the hotel undergoes renovations as it becomes more of a proper hideout. When it's fully refurbished, the Saints' HQ gets ''three'' stripper poles.

{{quote| '''Boss:''' (points a Vice 9 at {{spoiler|Maero's}} temple) Any last words?<br />

''' {{spoiler|Maero:}}''' Go to hell.<br />

* [[Book Dumb]]: The Boss is fairly ignorant. He/she acts puzzled when Tara explains that she is a micro-biologist to which Tara replies "read a book".

* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Certain activities, once fully completed, reward you with infinite ammo for a specific weapon type, so long as it's bought from Friendly Fire or taken from your cache. And while the magazines themselves aren't bottomless in the above situation, actual bottomless magazines are available through cheats. In addition, some weapons hold more rounds at once than their real-world counterparts can (shotguns in particular, with the double-barreled Tombstone holding 6 shells and the pimp cane holding ''16'').

* [[Bulletproof Human Shield]]: Taking a Banger for cover causes the other members to open fire and kill their friend while you take them apart.

* [[Buried Alive]]: {{spoiler|Shogi Akuji, son of the leader of The Ronin,}} gets buried alive by Gat and the Player Character after interrupting {{spoiler|Aisha's funeral}}.

* [[Canon Welding]]: Ultor later goes on to oppress [[Red Faction|miners on Mars]]. In one of the DLC packs, a character is asked where Ultor is planning on mining, anyway, while you're pursued by Ultor's turreted vehicle prototypes, and the character states "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

* [[Capoeira]]: The Sons of Samedi fighting style resembles this.

{{quote| '''Boss:''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVgDXg9Wnf8&feature=fvw Aww shit, aww shit! ...(percussion imitation)... guitars, guitars an' shit, OHHH SHIT!]}}

** [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]:

* [[Hot Pursuit]]: FUZZ.

* [[Ho Yay]]: The General and Mr. Sunshine. There is also The Boss and any of the lieutenants, depending on their gender.

* [[Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels]]: The lowest difficulty level in is "Casual".

* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: Trail Blazing. A check point race performed while on fire.

** Even worse {{spoiler|The Boss holds Carlos's hand when s/he is doing it. Then his hands goes slack. You can feel The Boss' heart breaking at that.}}

* [[Mythology Gag]]: During the news report on Gat's trial a ticker reports that Michael Clark Duncan will play former gang leader Benjamin King. Duncan played the leader of the Vice Kings in the first game.

* [[No Holds Barred Beatdown]]: {{spoiler|Johnny}} delivers the mother of all these to {{spoiler|Shogo}} after he {{spoiler|attempts to kill Johnny and The Boss at Aisha's funeral}}, even managing to ''{{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|punch his head through a tombstone.]]}}''

** And, for good measure, following each round with an icy "Get up."

** Cameraman: "Flamethrowers are standard issue...''right?''"

*** Goes [[Up to Eleven]] when the camera man issues you a chainsaw.

* [[Porting Disaster]]: The PC version has significant performance issues even on the lowest graphical settings - where matte paint removes lightning completely from car models, causing them to look like a flat colored shape on the screen.

* [[The Pratfall]]: There is a special "Pratfall Cheat Code" that allows you to perform pratfalls and faceplants for your own amusement.

* [[Sarcastic Clapping]]: The Boss does this to Maero after {{spoiler|s/he arranges for Mareo to unknowingly run over Jessica, his girlfriend.}} S/he even steps out of the shadows while doing it.

* [[Score Multiplier]]: Several activities, such as Mayhem and Insurance Fraud, require you to gain these in order to succeed.

* [[Shout Out]]: The prison doctor you kill right at the beginning may say "I'll figure out the secret to [[Trauma Center|Dr. Stiles']] healing touch if it kills me!" To which a nurse will reply, "It's the procedure that kills you."

** Not sure whether this is a coincidence or a shout-out: Dane Vogel happens to be the name of a character on VA Michael Rapport's former FOX sitcom The War At Home.

** The cashier at Apollo's signs off with "Have a nice day, [[Battlestar Galactica|so say we all]]." Made even funnier because Apollo's is a [[Fictional Counterpart]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starbucks Starbucks].

* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]] / [[Suspiciously Apropos Music]]: The Klassic 102.4 channel can be like this. Sometimes it's weird running down gangbangers while a light piano piece plays, and sometimes you get to chase down vans in an attack helicopter while "Flight of the Valkyries" plays in the background.

* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Several Masako members pull one on Maero when he bursts into Vogel's office the second or third time, he doesn't notice until Vogel draws his attention to them.

* [[Stop Helping Me]]: For the most part, your recruitable AI buddies do a decent job at fighting alongside you... until they pick up an RPG. Then it's just a matter of time before they kill themselves (or you) with a rocket fired at somebody from point-blank range.

** There was also the ad for the game where it compared GTAIV's mundane activities to the ''[[Jackass (TV)|Jackass]]''-style flaming ATV riding, sewage spraying, over the top activities you can do in Saints Row.

** Russell, one of the target in Assassination side mission, is a guy in a [[Indiana Jones|fedora and a leather jacket]], who "when not sniffing coke off of prostitutes, dabbles in archaeological studies."

* [[Wall of Weapons]]: The inside of The General's limo is a small example; his side of the car is filled with NR4 pistols and K6 Krukov rifles.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Members of the Ronin also carry katana with them. Jyunichi even has [[Swords Akimbo|two]].

{{quote| "Knight to Rook 7, Mutha''fucker''!"}}

* [[When Elders Attack]]: The elderly of Stilwater will occasionally attack you if you piss them off. Applies to some enemies, such as Kazuo Akuji, and The Boss as well if you made him/her old.

{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Akuji'''}}: Did you really think you could match my skill?<br />

'''Boss''': No. ''[draws a pistol and shoots]'' [[Combat Pragmatist|I'm gonna cheat.]] }}
