Please check the [[Video Games/Funny|index]] before adding an example to this page to see whether or not the game or series already has its own page.
 
MOD: The examples listed here need to be moved - ''not'' copied - to "Funny" subpages of the matching works, and the category [[:Category:Video Games/Funny]] needs to be confirmed to be present on all of those subpages. Once that is finished, then this page can be deleted.
----
* ''[[Star Control]] II'': Go on, ask the Slylandro about their glowy bits when you meet them on their homeworld...
Line 11 ⟶ 13:
*** Well, one of the racers ''is'' crazy, but then again, it makes that racer all the more hilarious to hear screaming like crazy.
** Also, you'll wonder why the ''Roar'' ability can't be done in real life. It would make driving in the real LA much more pleasurable...
* ''[[Day of the Tentacle]]'' has more than a few. Let's begin with:
{{quote|'''Bernard''': "Now what am I gonna do?"
'''Dr. Fred''': "I think I made myself perfectly clear. Step One: Find Plans. Step Two: Save World. Step Three: ''Get Out Of My House!'' Now let's ''get cracking!''" }}
** Bernard puts a hamster in the deep freeze for Laverne to recover in the future. She revives the hamster in a microwave oven, while [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] to tell us that kids who try this in real life are ''taken away.''
* Every one of Daniel's lines in the first chapter of Dark Waters (and most lines in later chapters) are pretty hilarious. Especially the responses when Heather demands that he give her his belt so that she can construct a device to allow her to go rescue the player.
** And in the second chapter, the sequence after a male player who has expressed romantic interest in Heather encounters her memories of Kendra (whose memories have been implanted into her) cheating on Conley (whose memories have been implanted into the player) with Sheridan (whose memories have been implanted into Daniel), in which you reassure Heather on how certain you are that she isn't going to jump into bed with Daniel.
Line 38 ⟶ 36:
* The first two ''[[Earthworm Jim (video game)|Earthworm Jim]]'' games thrive on this, but anything involving a [[Drop the Cow|cow]] deserves special mention (particularly the second game's ending, where it's revealed that the [[Big Bad]], the [[Damsel in Distress]], and [[The Hero]] are all actually cows).
** The Bob the Killer Goldfish [[Anticlimax Boss|"boss battles"]] in both games.
* The bonus video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PUmBe3xV4o Cooking with Scorpion] in ''[[Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance]]''.
* The first Nintendo 64 ''[[Mystical Ninja]]'' game had quite a lot of funny moments. This troper's favourite is when Goemon finds out that Wiseman built robots for the bad guys in exchange for car magazines; this is made even funnier when Wiseman finds out that they blew up his house, including his collection of magazines. (They were porn magazines in the Japanese version.)
** On the other hand THIS Troper's favourite was the game's climatic...musical number, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJrnlFW4IMc&feature=related "Gorgeous My Stage"]. Yes, this performance was actually the villains' master plan all along.
Line 46 ⟶ 43:
* The {{spoiler|Skimpy Swimsuit}} scene in ''[[La-Mulana]]'' is either this or a combination of [[Squick]] and [[Nightmare Fuel]].
** Definitely the former, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_69urn7asVA especially with an audience] (start at 2:36).
* ''[[Mother 3]]'': [[Grumpy Old Man|Wess]] opening the large, mouth-shaped door in Osohe Castle. By dancing to disco music!
{{quote|'''Wess:''' Don't look around! I swear [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}ufR3Uu1TWJ0 I'm not sticking my butt out or anything like that!]}}
*** The best part is that this makes the door ''laugh'', allowing you through.
** Also, the scene in chapter four where [[Team Pet|Boney]] dresses up like a kid to get into the nightclub.
{{quote|"Shake! ...Oh, sorry about that. I just get that instinct when I look at you..."}}
** A particularly amusing moment in the otherwise bleak endgame: {{spoiler|Dr. Andonuts rolling Porky around in the Absolutely Safe Capsule.}}
** The refreshing toilets segment.
** Lucas opened the present. You heard a mambo/reggae/waltz rhythm. Ah.
** Every single sign ever.
{{quote|'''Preserve our beautiful scenery! [[Hypocritical Humor|Please refrain from posting signs.]]}}
* ''Wizkid'' was bizarre, no two ways about it, but the funniest moment had to be when the clue to the next level exit was found by going to the toilet. Which made the volcano fart rocks.
* The ending of ''[[System Shock|System Shock 2]]''. The [[Big Bad]] offers to bargain with the Soldier after he defeats it, offering him even more power if he will join it, Darth Vader style. {{spoiler|"Naah." *click* '''*BLAM*'''}}
Line 71 ⟶ 58:
** Dom and Marcus had just killed a Beserker using the Hammer of Dawn. This also happens to be one of the [[That One Boss|hardest parts of the game.]]
{{quote|'''Dom''': "How about, we never do that again?"}}
* [[Animal Crossing]] occasionally has the neighbors say hilariously random things, especially the more wacky ones.
** Upon being asked for some old wallpaper:
{{quote|Clyde: The funny thing about old wallpaper is, put some lasagna over it and you've got trash. And that's why I have a lot of trash no old wallpaper.}}
* ''[[Mortal Kombat]] vs. [[DC Universe]]'': At the end of Captain Marvel's part of the DC story, he reveals the identity of the [[Original Generation]] [[Big Bad]] behind the merging of the two universes to the DC villains and Superman. The Joker's reaction?
{{quote|'''Joker:''' '''''[[The Khan|KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!]]'''''}}
Line 85 ⟶ 69:
** Don't forget the message that plays whenever you use the Venus Djinni Mold in battle. "[http://goldensun.wikia.com/wiki/Mold Guaranteed to infuse humor into the most dramatic boss encounters.]"
{{quote|"[monster], stop hitting yourself!"}}
* [[Ghost Trick]]: In Chapter 15, {{spoiler|accidentally shooting Inspector Cabanela in the face with a hardhat instead of a bullet is MUCH funnier than it should be.}}
** Most things about Bailey are hilarious, but the Panic Dance in Chapter 9 is nearly unbearable. It's even funnier because he keeps doing it even after the crisis is averted.
* This Troper is not sure whether this technically belongs in this category or not, but approximately a week or so before the Wrath of the Lich King expansion came out for ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', Thrall, leader of the orcs, disappeared from his chamber for a few hours. The official forums proceeded to speculate on what he was doing and where he was during that time. This led to many responses simply saying "Jaina." But the absolute best was in response to one of these, where the poster simply wrote:
{{quote|Bow-chicka-lok-tar}}
Line 105 ⟶ 87:
{{quote|''That did it. The door is opening. Now we can -- [[Oh Crap|Oh no...]]'' }}
** Probably most players' first sourceless quest counts as this, as you basically get attacked by an eel, say "You know what? Fuck eels," and give ''yourself'' a quest to kill a bunch of eels.
* ''[[Brigandine]]'' has a cutscene where the [[Ax Crazy]] Mad Monarch Dryst gets reprimanded by high and mighty [[Church Militant]] Paternus for practically ignoring God. Dryst's response is pure hilarity...
{{quote|''Don't tell me you ask for God's permission to go to the toilet. Ha ha ha...''}}
* Most (if not all) of Neko Arc Chaos's dialogue in the secret storyline of Arcade Mode of [[Melty Blood|Melty Blood Act Cadenza ver. B]]. Virtually all of it [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Breaks the Fourth Wall]].
{{quote|'''Neco-Arc Chaos''': Th-then the one who gave Sion the infinite combo...! And the one who made White Len a tsundere...!
Line 181 ⟶ 161:
'''Riot Guard:''' (Radio) This is 22B. I need backup. And send down a home-box for Riddick. We need him sedated. Do it now! (Scene cuts and comes back with Riddick being locked in a box/traincar with two guards watching him while the Riot Guard stands outside)
'''Riot Guard:''' He's '''your''' problem now. }}
* The ''[[Nethack]]'' [[Have a Nice Death|top deaths]] [http://alt.org/nethack/topdeaths.html log] is made of funny, especially the ones that only have one listed victim. A lot of these are the product of players [[Hello, Insert Name Here|naming the cause of their deaths]], hence "choked on a food ration named [[Memetic Mutation|never gonna give you up]]" and "killed by an [[The Lord of the Rings|Uruk-hai]] called [[The Many Deaths of You|YASD]]."
** Choked on a cock.
** Killed by kicking an ass and taking names.
Line 283 ⟶ 263:
** The best way to handle those annoying nobles? Set up suicide booths just for them—a standard suicide booth involves a switch and a trap that will result in a guaranteed death for anyone unfortunate enough to be in the same room as the switch.
*** Fun traps include: floors that give out when the victims are standing on them, causing them to drop to their deaths; drawbridges that squash them flat when they are in range; deliberate cave-ins intended to crush the one who triggered it; locked chambers of ballista doom...
*** See the hilariously-titled wiki page [https://web.archive.org/web/20140618154127/http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Unfortunate_accident Unfortunate Accident.]
** [[Everything Trying to Kill You|And, of course, there's the dwarf-eating carp. And the elephants. And the unicorn.]]
*** "I think I made the fish too hardcore."
Line 478 ⟶ 458:
* Halfway through ''[[Sigma Star Saga]]'', Psyme falls victim to an apparent illness after Ian Recker gave her a kiss. [[Bizarre Alien Biology|Knowing nothing about Krill physiology]], Recker assumes that [[Mistaken for Pregnant|he impregnated her...somehow.]] (Two Krillian healers tell him that "[[Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone|this is a special moment between you two]]", not helping his case any.) He then takes her back to the Forest Planet to dip her in a pool to allow her to "recover", and the expecting dad is instead greeted by a perfectly healthy Psyme, now sporting a new set of [[Power Gives You Wings|fairy-like wings]]. After chastising him for [[You Fail Biology Forever|failing Krill physiology 101]], she gives the wings to him for use by his parasite, admitting that they only grow on Krill females whenever they feel...[[The Power of Love|close to a person]]. The game then congratulates the player for acquiring Psyme's gift by taking a jab at Recker's, erm..."manliness":
{{quote|"You got the Girl Wings! Wings like a '''GIRL!'''"}}
* The [[Desperation Attack]]s in ''[[Magical Battle Arena]]'' are a collection of some truly deadly-looking moves, which includes getting blasted by [[Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha's]] [[Wave Motion Gun|Excelion Buster]] at point-blank range, getting sliced by [[Slayers|Lina's]] [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|Ragna Blade]] or [[Lyrical Nanoha|Fate]]'s [[BFSBlade of Fearsome Size|Jet Zamber]], and getting [[Phantom Zone Picture|sealed]] as one of [[Cardcaptor Sakura|Sakura's Sakura Cards]] then forcibly ejected. And then you get to [[Slayers|Naga]]. What could she possibly have that can match the aforementioned attacks in dishing out pain? {{spoiler|Why, [[Noblewoman's Laugh|her laugh of course! OOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!]]}}
* ''[[RuneScape]]'': After reacquiring a number of brains stolen from some monks (it makes sense in context), your character is made to watch the re-implanting scene. Thankfully, [[Relax-O-Vision|a kitten playing with a ball of wool]] saves you the horrific scene. Your character isn't so lucky.
** <small>"I DON'T WANT MY EYES ANYMORE!" - [[Player Character]] 's reaction to this scene.</small>
Line 502 ⟶ 482:
*** [[Everything's Worse with Bears|Kuma]] and [[Pandaing to the Audience|Panda]]'s Tekken 5 endings. Kuma's is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6DBLb8UBNc here] and Panda's is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbFGBCcpf-E&feature=related here]. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* The "Nuke" button in ''[[Lemmings]]'' is there for a reason—to make you [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|laugh guiltily when they clutch their heads, shout "Oh no!", and explode]]. The sequel adds physics to this so they get blown about the level like ragdolls, all while they're popping like machine-gunned balloons.
* Winning the fourth hovercraft race in ''[[Beyond Good & Evil (video game)|Beyond Good and Evil]]''. The excitement goes straight to Double H's head, and he decides that he can only express his joy by [[Smooch of Victory|planting a wet one]] on Jade. Jade's reaction is somewhere between humorous annoyance and abject horror. [[Memetic Mutation|Do Not Want!]]
** [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|Shooting at the ships in the bay]]. Their reactions are all quite funny, but the funniest are the airship containing an absolutely ''insane'' woman who takes the freak out to new levels, and the [[Large Ham]] with the [[Scotireland]] accent who sounds like he escaped a cheesy naval movie. "MASTER KOI! WE'RE BEING FIRED UPOOOOON!"
* From ''[[Gruntz]]'', a fun game by Monolith studios, you click on your Grunt to select him. What if you keep clicking him though?
** "Yo"
{{quote|"Wassup?"
"Y'ello?"
"Stop Clicking Me"
"I'm serious!"
"STOOOOOOPPPP IIIIIIITTTTT!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
"CAN'T...TAKE IT ANYMORE! GOING....TO EXPLODE, UUUUUAAAAAAAHHHH.....heh heh, scared ya, didn't I?" }}
** Also, the intro AND outro are hilarious...<br />"And as the final warp stone piece was placed, the worm hole OPENED!" * FART* "Yeah, and that's when Grimley farted on me, and the King couldn't BELIEVE how loud it was." "He was looking at the wormhole, you imbecile!" "Yeah...that's when I turned to my brother and said 'We REALLY need to lay off those mushrooms'" "No you didn't, you said 'Mommy, mommy, I want to go home, and you all jumped into the worm hole, leaving your precious baby toy behind, UAHAHAHAHAHAHA" "Hey, who you callin' a baby?! Your MOM didn't mind my baby toy, your momma LIKES my baby toy, okay BABY!?" "That's it! Enough of my mother, this game, I'VE HAD IT!" "oooooh, he's kickin' stuff now, ain't he? Your momma loves my baby toy, your momma loves my baby toy...ahahahaha!"
*** You can find it in its entirety right [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XVeeCBrYzE here].
* In ''[[Iji]]'', the title character and her brother have the following conversation if you have spent the majority of Level 1 jumping and breaking light fixtures with your head:
{{quote|'''Dan:''' Iji, about those ceiling lamps...
'''Iji, [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|with bits of glass in her hair]]:''' What? <br />
'''Dan:''' ...Um, nevermind. }}
** The Scrambler. (Nearly every mention of Yukabacera, actually.) "A pony...with missiles!"
* The ''entire ending'' of ''[[No More Heroes]]'' was one big crowning moment for this troper, as the entire game dips straight into [[Medium Awareness|medium-aware surreality]] for its final moments, with characters conversing about delaying the game and raising its ESRB rating further while [[Lampshade Hanging|calling each other out]] on [[Ass Pull|surprisingly convenient plot revelations so close to the end]].
** Another great moment came in four words: {{spoiler|"Mister Sir Henry Motherfucker"}}. Too perfect.
** During the trip across the beach to fight Holly Summers, Travis destroys multiple electric fences, and as he tries to walk over them, the game shows a cutsene where he steps on a land mine and gets blown a few feet away. After he destroys the last one, we see a cutsene where he almost puts his foot on a landmine, stops, smirks as if to say "not falling for that again" and steps over the mine...{{spoiler|only to step right on another one.}} Cue [[Skyward Scream]].
* ''[[Puzzle Quest]]: Challenge of the Warlords'' has one during the ending. After defeating Bane, the [[Physical God|God of Death]], the game remembers that one of your companions is an [[Extreme Omnivore]]...
{{quote|Drong: Mmmmm...
You: Drong - no. ''You can't eat Bane!''
Drong: Why not?
You: He was the God of Death - I don't think that would be good for you.
Drong: But you say to Drong [[Call Back|he can eat the next God he find]]. <br />
You: Yeah...well...okay, then. }}
* The ending of ''[[Time Crisis|Crisis Zone]]''. With [[Big Bad|Derrick Lynch]] defeated and a [[Going Critical|nuclear meltdown]] averted, the STF gets ready to ascend back up to the surface. Except they try the elevator and it's broken. One of the squad members points to a flight of stairs. He also points out that, them being five kilometers underground, it's ''[[Oh Crap|five kilometers of stairs.]]''
* In ''[[Rayman]] 3'', ''any'' conversion you overhear the Knaaren have.
** In the first ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' trailer, when Rayman and Globox meet, they become friends by slapping and punching each other. Also, during a fight with a golem Globox latches onto the side of it's head with his ''teeth'' and starts slapping his eye.
Line 549 ⟶ 500:
** Sometimes the trees just don't work out and completely random, absolutely nonsensical conversations ensue. Or the taunt button, which could lead to Tony screaming at no one in paticular in an empty street.
* ''The Punisher''. After you throw a mook down the well at Ma Gnucci's place, stick around. He's not quite dead.
* ''[[Dead Space 2]]'': Upon completing the game on Hard Core mode, you unlock...a red foam finger. When you fire it, you can hear Isaac going "Bang bang" (primary fire) or "Pew pew" (alt fire), and all you see is his hand a trigger-pulling movement inside the finger. Oh, and you also see the limbs fly off of the Necromorph you were just pointing at.
* The measures Ubisoft took to discourage anyone who would pirate ''Michael Jackson: The Experience'': {{spoiler|they covered up the music with the sounds of a large group of vuvuzelas being blown at full volume.}} Talk about a [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]].
* ''[[GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)|GoldenEye]]'''s second mission, the Facility, starts you off in an air vent. You make your way through the vents to a ''bathroom.'' And there's a guard in the stall you pop into.
** This one's a nod to the way Bond takes out his first mook in the movie it's based on:
{{quote|'''Bond:''' Beg your pardon. Forgot to knock. [WHACK!]}}
* On episode 4 of ''The Way'' you find yourself interrupting a cutscene of a young boy arguing with his mother about whether to urinate in the corner of the house or outside.
* [[Shin Megami Tensei]]: [[Strange Journey]] has one sidequest early on, where you must deal with a toilet on your mobile base which is being haunted by the God of Toilets, who is angry that you haven't been keeping your bathroom clean enough. When you beat him:
{{quote|'''NPC''' You, uh, just fought the God of Toilets, so be sure to wash your hands!}}
 
* [[Sly Cooper]] to this troper, its Dimitri in general. Here's a few scenes
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkYi4601SKY Dimitri babbles to himself. Bonus points for when you fail the mission. I DARE you not to laugh at "Smokey Alert! FREAK OUT!]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKGWx6KPdCM Dimitri gives an announcement]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnHysuDuOIM Dimitris bossbattle, followed by his last words. Also the hells up with the way he runs here?]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbL16WAi1mM Dimitri sees sly again for the first time in a while.( not sure if they used all of the choices, but I can assure you if they did, its a lot more worth watching if they did]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypeX8kMtKMQ Dimitri wants a favor]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZbTB5p8ZrM Dimitri gives commentary, part one. Not his funniest moment, but I have crashed a few times during it]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6sN7jA4sRI&feature=related Dimitri gives commentary, part two(its kinda far into it, I think]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txzu3_r8-_A Dimitri preps up for his first mission]
What he says after you've bugged his office is good, but no ones bothered to make of vid with it all.
Though it of course, is the mention of a shipping I loathe. Other then that, its good.
* ''Wave Race Blue Storm'': The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNDOcyEGhoQ hidden announcer], who is... [[Jerkass|impolite, to put it nicely]].
{{quote|"You have chosen poorly."
Line 583 ⟶ 516:
* The US localization of [[Gunbird]] (known as ''[[Mobile Light Force]]'' in the states) has one of these if you know enough about the original Japanese version. Among the many, many changes made, the playable characters were renamed after members of the localization team. Two of these characters, Tetsu and Ash, are actually [[Camp Gay]] and a pedophile respectively in the original Japanese version.
* From the mouth of a Commanding Officer in his second major war:
{{quote|[[Nintendo Wars|What's an airport?]]<br />
[[Idiot Hero|Continents? Really?]] }}
* ''[[Espgaluda]]''{{'}}s program ROM + ''[[Ketsui]]''{{'}}s graphical and sound ROMs = [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtZT4Do00wI this]. '''[[Good Bad Bugs|YOUR MISSIONS!]]'''
* ''[[Glory of Heracles]]'' ([[Nintendo DS]]): When Heracles gets ready to sail to Sparta, Leucos thinks that he should take up an alias, since being an immortal would lead to [[Everything Trying to Kill You|many people setting out to try to "prove it"]]. When she suggests the name "[[Kid Icarus|Pit]]", Axios responds:
{{quote|"'Pit'? [[Take That|That doesn't even sound Greek]]!"<br />
<br />
Even funnier, when you get to enter your own alias for the hero, you can try to enter the name "Pit"...but the game will reject you and ask you to enter something else. }}
* ''[[Penny Arcade Adventures]]: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness'' has some very funny cutscenes. But two of the best ones are:
** The cutscene in Episode 1 where Gabe punches the crap out of the fortune-telling machine.
** The cutscene in Episode 2 where Gabe comes out of the kitchen with a ''pink apron and pink oven mitts'', holding a pie, then the whole building starts on fire, so he and the player character run, and Tycho comes out of the room he was in, sees Gabe and the player running, and notices the place crumbling down, then he screams like a girl.
