History Funny / BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight

* Bloodless, as her name implies, is themed entirely around blood. Her entire outfit is made out of blood, which she creates from a blood-filled bathtub, and she fights using blood attacks. Why is this funny? Because if you change the color of the blood, you also change ''her'' color palette as well. Yes, this even means you can give her a white color palette, with all the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything implications]] that come with it.

* As if that wasn't funny enough, the update where Bloodless is PromotedToPlayable added more colors to change the blood into. This includes [[UrineTrouble yellow]].

* The ending cutscene when everyone walks away, is rendered with the game engine, meaning that Miriam can walk off while the Gold Is Power gyroscope rolling above her head!

'''Todd:''' ''[angrily]'' ''Cast them aside?!'' If I could take them off, ''I wouldn't be cursed!'' Duh!\\

--> ''Who are you calling slow?''

*** This manages to be even funnier by going through another layer of the same logic. The reason vampires traditionally didn't appear in mirror and photos is because [[SilverHasMysticPowers they don't get along with silver]], which was used in both to create the reflection (some modern depictions have actually caught on to this and have vampires that can be seen in digital photography). The problem? The '''''silver''' bromide'' needed for photographs in this era is a key item!

'''Mariam:''' Ah, [[FlatWhat What]].\\

* When you fight against Valefor, he begins his next phase (upon you depleting all of his health) by stealing all of your money to replenish his health. If you're very low on funds, he gives out an indignant "Is that all you have?" If you don't have any money, he has this to say as his death quote.
-->'''Valefor:''' "What!? You're flat broke!"

* While the food in game looks [[FoodPorn absolutely stunning]], there are a couple of [[CordonBleughChef unusual]] dishes: [[StrawberryShorthand Berry]] Spaghetti and Shiruko Spaghetti.

*** And that final conversation with Miriam is hilarious as well. It's about 50% "Please don't hurt me"... and 50% LoveConfession!

* One sidequest in the game is Miriam coming across a lost man named Benjamin who asks if she is human because of the crystals on her skin. To set him at ease, she tells him that they're the latest fashion trend from Paris. His reply:
-->'''Benjamin:''' ''[awestruck]'' Oh, Paris? Wow! I've never been to [[InUniverseFactoidFailure Spain]]!

** By the time Miriam finds Benjamin a third time, she is so fed up with his incompetence that she threatens to kick him upside the head if he doesn't warp straight back to the village. Fortunately for him, he gets it right this time and rewards Miriam for all the trouble with a rare ring.

* Any headwear equipped will show up on Miriam. So you can swap out her horns for a "Beast Beret", a cute li'l hat designed after a teddy bear. Guess if you're gonna kill monsters, might as well look cute doing it.

* When the game hints that you need to go find the DoubleJump ability to progress further, Miriam asks Dominique how Zangetsu can get around the castle so easily, to which she replies that he has [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower trained his body beyond normal human limits]] and can now jump in midair. Miriam's utter disbelief that such a thing is possible is a humorous bit of LampshadeHanging. Later, when Dominique claims that she heard Zangetsu has the ability to ''fly'', Miriam's response is a FlatWhat.

** That ridiculous mask? That's an accessory Miriam can equip as well. The chest with the mask appears after you launch him from his chair (leave and enter the room below him to see it). This also means that tormenting O.D. this way is needed to get not one but two achievements: the aforementioned "Deja Vu" achievement and the Item Completion Achievement.

** A vampire who's virtually a ''dead-ringer'' for Alucard, with only a few clothing differences to keep lawyers at bay. He's also [[ActorAllusion voiced by Alucard]] in both English ''and'' Japanese, and is found in a room practically identical to the librarian's room from ''Symphony of the Night'', chair balanced over a hole and everything (you can even repeat ''Symphony of the Night'''s EasterEgg and bounce his chair from below to unlock the achievement "Déjà vu"). The sheer [[RefugeInAudacity shameless temerity]] to [[WritingAroundTrademarks squeeze that in]] is hilarious.

** Later on, you can find Benjamin again trapped behind a waterfall because he imagined the wrong place when given a Waystone to warp home. Miriam is rather peeved at this and is far more blunt with her instructions.

!!Meta and Pre-Release
* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWrD0QMZc_s his Kickstarter Pitch video]], IGA just can't resist [[https://youtu.be/KWrD0QMZc_s?t=53 throwing a wine glass]].
** [[AscendedMeme The glass now makes it into the game as an actual attack]] called "Insatiable".
** Starting from [[https://youtu.be/lKlR0SEmIoI?t=4 a story trailer]], they decided to make the glass-throwing antic into a brand signature.
** And when he's fought in the game as a hidden superboss, IGA's main attack is to throw wine glasses on the floor, which summons intensely-powerful columns of flames. Miriam gets this attack for herself if she can obtain his Shard, wine glass and all.
* Also from the Kickstarter Pitch, there are also some fans who find it morbidly hilarious when IGA tortures a random chap some time after.
* We were told that the game will have a CreatorCameo as a BonusBoss. When people think of IGA inside a video game, ''[[https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/003/953/508/221ed6c25750f06a1eead44eb7db35eb_original.jpg?v=1433896239&w=639&h=&fit=max&auto=format&q=92&s=1d535b3605871eb3d3dc3eac46e844ec this thing]]'' is probably not what they have in mind. Although it was revised in the final version to a more normal design of IGA in Dracula cosplay with his signature hat (which is still pretty funny).
* The Kickstarter site of the game contains [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/faqs an FAQ page]] which answers a few questions from fans. One such question is as follows:
--> '''Question''': Is IGA a vampire?\\
'''Answer''': We've tried figuring it out, but since we began this project he's been extremely guarded around mirrors.
* During the Kickstarter stream, IGA accepted to [[GratuitousEnglish say]] [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight "Die, Monster!"]] while wearing false vampire teeth. It's as funny as it sounds.
* During the release date trailer, it starts off with criticisms and gripes about the game's graphics and such. It then cuts back to the original kickstarter video when IGA threw his wine glass and he says "I'LL SHOW THEM!" Only in this context he seems to be fed up with the criticisms and is throwing his wine glass in anger instead of as a CallBack to ''Symphony Of The Night''. And to top it all off, when comparing the game's old graphics with the new ones, for a moment instead of it saying "Old", it says [[ToiletHumor "Poop"]].
* Creator/EricaLindbeck Tweeting out to reveal she's the voice of Miriam. The official Bloodstained Twitter then told her to "[[https://twitter.com/SwordOrWhip/status/1124458593955115008 get back to demon slaying]]" and Lindbeck responded with a very simple 'ok'.
* In the game's post game credits, [[https://www.destructoid.com/a-few-choice-names-snuck-into-the-official-bloodstained-credits-558943.phtml some of the backer name entries slipped past the development team.]]
