Line 20:

* ''[[Castlevania]]'' has a rare moment of comedy in ''The Dracula X Chronicles'', when [[Dracula]] realizes that he's suffered his most humiliating defeat yet:

{{quote|''Dracula: Completely impossible! Beaten by a little girl?!}}

** Then there's the infamous [[Narm~~|Narmtacular~~]] "What is a man?" conversation at the beginning of ''Symphony Of The Night''.

** Then there's the infamous [[Narm]]tacular "What is a man?" conversation at the beginning of ''Symphony Of The Night''.

** Or that [[Evil Elevator]] in ''Symphony of the Night''? God, Alucard and Richter sound like they're absolutely terrified in it!

** Or the "Holy Relic," an item that lets Alucard go underwater without taking damage: {{spoiler|It's a snorkel.}}

Line 27:

* In ''[[Atelier Series|Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana]]'', cute and innocent [[Catgirl]] Norn is feeling lonely one night, so she asks if she can get into bed with the hero, Klein. His response?

* ''[[Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis]]'' '''starts''' off with a crowning moment of funny, showing that, despite surviving Nazi attacks and [[Temple of Doom~~|Temple of Dooms~~]], Indy could not work his way around his own college without incurring a series of [[Disaster Dominoes]] ~~-- including~~ getting conked on the head by a falling totem pole, being slammed through a thin ceiling via a bookcase, confusing [[Cat Scare|a real cat for a statue, and getting startled]] enough to fall into a coal chute! The Talkie version makes this even funnier.

The Talkie version makes this even funnier.

** And an ancient Atlantean guard robot stomping a Nazi to death while [[Soundtrack Dissonance|a cheery marching band plays in the background]]. The [[Oh Crap|horrified expression]] the Nazi wears a split second before the first stone foot lands on his head makes it all the more hilarious.

** Arnold's the singing Nazi's last words: "YODEL-OOO-URK!"

Line 59:

* 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*'''}}

* [[Gears of War|"Delta Squad is in your house, bitch! You hear that shit?! You grubby-ass bitches are goin' down! Like way down -- dead down... so down you ain't even gonna know which way is up! Your asses are gonna be cryin' to your skanky-ass queen! Oh mommy, don't let the bad man hurt us! Fuck you! We gonna whup your momma's ass! Woo!"]]

** Pretty much a good 1/3-to-1/2 of Cole's lines are funny. One line that never fails to make this troper laugh (probably of the ~~delivery -- how~~ he sounds when he says it):

{{quote|(The group is trying to outrun a wall of debris inside the Riftworm)

Line 110:

{{quote|'''Neco-Arc Chaos''': Th-then the one who gave Sion the infinite combo...! And the one who made White Len a tsundere...!

'''Magical Broom Girl Amber''': Yes. It was me! Kya~* Wonderful! I got to say it again! }}

** There are also some other [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Crowning Moments Of Funny]] for each character. One instance -- ''Actress Again'' ~~-- had~~ Kohaku [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] with Roa as a [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]. The result...

{{quote|Roa: I'M NOT FUCKING NERO! [[Lampshade Hanging|You're doing this on purpose aren't you little Tanuki!?]]}}

* The [[Erotic Dream]] in ''[[Tsukihime]]''. Or rather, not the dream itself, but the morning after, considering that Hisui wakes Shiki up every morning, and it's pretty obvious what he was dreaming about immediately prior. Usually, she tactfully tries not to call attention to it. Unless, of course, you dream about ''her''...

Line 192:

** So, who wants to die on turn 1?

* ''[[Illbleed]]'' is alternately [[So Bad It's Good|ridiculous]] and [[Video Games/Nightmare Fuel|disturbing]]. Highlights include the brainless, gibbering "woodpuppet" version of Randy in "Woodpuppets" and the "boss fight" from "Killer Department Store" ("Aaah! Cashman's on fire!").

* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'' has (along with the [[Tear Jerker~~|Tear Jerkers~~]]) a lot of funny moments.

{{quote|Nordom: Morte, do you believe you have a destiny in life, a purpose?

Morte: Is Annah still wearing clothes?

{{quote|'''Loki''': ''being told that he isn't sexy enough'' "Oh...no...you...''didn't!"''}}

** BLUE SCREEN OF DEAAAAAAAAAAAATH!!

* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'', a fantastic freeware civilization/roguelike game that advertises losing as being fun, has much of this at random. Particularly, you can allow a dwarf to tantrum and assault something or someone, causing another dwarf to tantrum and do the exact same thing to other dwarves, thereby setting up a [[Disaster Dominoes]] that eventually kills everybody and completely ruins your entire ~~fortress--even~~ if the cause was simply a dwarf not being able to eat at a table. Or, you can set a dwarf on fire and he will simply not notice enough to allow himself to grab a drink from the local stores of alcohol... which bursts into flames and causes everything in the vicinity to catch fire, including other dwarves, who ''still'' won't notice and will wander about the fortress causing every non-fire-safe material they touch to catch fire, eventually causing your entire fortress to burn down to the ground.

** This game has a lot of [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]. If you are able to harness a source of unlimited running liquid (be it water or magma), you can redirect them to create deathtraps that involves locking in the victims and slowly filling up the death chamber with liquid, the end result being that they either drown to death or they melt horribly in molten rock.

** 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...

Line 373:

* ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'' has some great ones, including;

{{quote|'''Raziel''': (to Kain) Oh, no. Everytime you turn up, something monumentally terrible happens. I don't think I have the stomach for it.}}

* The ''[[Dynasty Warriors: Gundam]]'' games are a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] of various Gundam universes, some of which vary greatly in tone and subject matter. Rather than trying to fight the weirdness, the game designers apparently decided to just roll with it and embrace the potential for silliness. In particular, pretty much any time [[Wangst~~|Wangsty~~]] [[Teen Genius]] [[Zeta Gundam|Kamille Bidan]] comes into contact with the completely over-the-top [[Hot-Blooded]] characters from ''[[G Gundam]]'', hilarity ensues.

{{quote|'''Kamille, to Master Asia:''' Yes. [[Embarrassing First Name|I always hated my name]]. But getting wailed on by you has definitely made me feel more manly.}}

* The regular ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' series is notable for its [[Narm~~|Narmy~~]] moments, but the gameplay lends itself to some moments of genuine hilarity. Case in point, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4yqJU1Kz74 Gan Ning vs. Cao Cao] in DW5. Gan Ning unloads a seemingly devastating musou attack on Cao Cao...only for Cao Cao to turn around and very calmly curb stomp him. Cue the Game Over screen and Gan Ning's scream of humiliation.

* [[The Lost Vikings|"You idiots. That was OUR village!"]]

* In the ending of ''[[Prince of Persia]]: The Sands of Time,'' when the Prince offers Farah {{spoiler|the Dagger of Time, after telling her the story of the game, she asks why he came up with such a wild tale (not remembering any of the events of the game herself, as the Prince pushed the [[Reset Button]]). He replies by kissing her. She pushes him off and [[What the Hell, Hero?|says "I said I was grateful, but you presume too much!"]]}} The Prince's response to this: {{spoiler|he looks at the Dagger, ''rewinds time, using the same ability you've been using all game'', to the middle of her question about why he made up such a tale, and then replies "You're right, it's just a story," and gives her the Dagger.}} After the {{spoiler|large-scale [[Reset Button]] that had been pushed previously}}, seeing the Prince utilize it on a much smaller scale for such a trivial reason is hilarious.

Line 478:

* 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":

* The [[Desperation Attack~~|Desperation Attacks~~]] in ''[[Magical Battle Arena]]'' are a collection of some truly deadly-looking moves, which includes getting blasted by [[~~Magical Girl~~ 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 [[~~Magical Girl~~ Lyrical Nanoha|Fate]]'s [[BFS|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!]]}}

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 492:

** When Fett and Montross have their final confrontation, Montross states that they are the same. Fett replies, "Now you're just being mean."

* [[Guilty Gear|May's, Faust's and Bridget's Instant Kills.]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5c93CTgiQ0 They have to be seen to be believed.]. (They can be located around 1:50, 4:58, and 6:36 in the video respectively.)

* At one point in ''[[Secret of Mana]]'', you save ~~Santa -- at~~ the request of Rudolph.

* At one point in ''[[Secret of Mana]]'', you save Santa—at the request of Rudolph.

** By beating the shit out of (a transformed) him, no less.

* ''[[Tekken]] 5''. Lee's ending. [http://youtube.com/watch?v=HA7DeHyXCM0 "Two fingers".]

Line 501:

** During [[Highly-Visible Ninja|Yoshimitsu's]] story mode, you fight new character Raven, who is basically a [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|ninja]] [[Blade|Wesley Snipes]], aka a [[Serious Business|serious ninja.]] If you lose, you're treated to a cutscene of Raven attempting to teach Yoshimitsu ninja hand signs, with little success.

*** [[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!"
