* In one sidequest, you get hired part-time at the Battle Arena... to do the laundry. As in, the entire process, including the part where you [[InactionSequence sit beside the washing machine]] and wait for the rinse cycle to finish, so you can take the load out, put it in the dryer, [[OverlyLongGag and keep waiting]].

* The secret “PC Ending” is mainly weird in a creepy way, but one part still manages to squeeze in some levity. The second-to-last question of the statue’s mega-difficult PopQuiz is… a crossword puzzle. It pops up with a prompt to “get your pencils out, kids!” If you want, you can just exit the screen without even trying. Also, one of the clues ask you to name the developer’s favorite Pokémon.

* There’s an apartment that can’t be entered, with a sign by the door saying it’s been condemned due to ghosts. Nothing else comes of this, unless you play the game in debug mode and use the walk-through-walls cheat. Turns out there really are ghosts in there, and [[WhatTheHellPlayer they’re not pleased with your trespassing]].
-->'''Ghost 1:''' [=OoOooOoooOoooh!=] Keep out means keep ooout!
-->'''Ghost 2''': Wow, did you actually disrespect the sign so much that you ''cheated'' your way in here? Look, we ghosts are just trying to make our way in the world.

* If you don’t have enough karma to stay at the Reddit inn, the innkeeper tells you to go crosspost memes for some quick cash.
* Some of the reasons people give for being in the Reddit slums are pretty funny.
-->'''NPC:''' I didn't mean to triple post... It was my phone, I swear!
* The chest in the tavern contains Reddit Gold… which Catie just puts back, [[TakeThat because it’s worthless]].

* An old lady in one apartment immediately asks if you’re there to finish her lunch, and then gives you her uneaten cereal. Thanks, I guess?



* Over in the inn’s restaurant, we get this insightful comment from a 4chan user sitting at an empty table:
-->'''4chan Anon:''' LOL, there's no food on this table. What am I even doing here?
* As he takes you up to the Summit’s meeting room, Jimmy Wales pauses the elevator to show off his true life’s work. Surprisingly, it’s not Wikipedia, it’s…
-->'''Jimmy Wales:''' Welcome to ''Franchise/JurassicPark''.
** After several seconds of bewildered silence, he sheepishly ushers the party back into the lift, [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain and the incident is]] [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment never mentioned again]].



* A guard near the eastern gate is anxious to meet Catie, but has no idea what she looks like and is afraid he’ll make a fool of himself. Remember that he’s saying all of this out loud, ''to Catie''.



* Just try picking a fight with the guard sitting in the upper right corner of the Partnership Towers cafeteria.
-->'''Mega Guard:''' You messed with the wrong guard! I've been eating spinach! ''*Suddenly grows twenty feet tall and attacks*''



* Halfway through the fight with [=RayWilliamJohnson=], [=PewDiePie=] jumps in to try and help, only to be blasted away in one shot by RWJ, who insists on fighting alone.



* In the scene where Arianna confronts Wolfram about the [=PasSWORD=], one of Wolfram’s dataminers can be seen in the background, just spinning around without a care in the world.

to:

* At the left end of town, there’s a staircase leading up, and a sign warning of “deadly squids ahead.” If you take the stairs, you find a man being accosted by three squids, who says “[[CaptainObvious It turns out there’s nothing but deadly squids up here]], and I am terrified.” Gee buddy, didn’t you read the sign?
** Even better, their enemy bio refers to them as “a gang of squids from the bad part of town.” Let that mental image sink in for a second.
* How did the 4chan mod get the Anons under control to help fight Arianna? He didn’t, that was just the most interesting thing happening at the moment.
* In the scene where Arianna confronts Wolfram about the [=PasSWORD=], one of Wolfram’s dataminers can be seen [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background, background]], just spinning around without a care in the world.


Added DiffLines:

* When the [=PasSWORD=] initially fails to cut through the Firewall, it just falls to the ground and the epic fanfare music cuts out with a RecordNeedleScratch.
* The absurdity of the game’s plot is summed up in a single sentence:
-->'''Eddie:''' So our new task... is to convince the Fine Bros. to help us travel back in time. Have I got that right?
* How does the game enforce its PointOfNoReturn? By having Anonymous accidentally drop the [[WarpWhistle Google Gem]] off the side of the airship, and get called out for it.


Added DiffLines:

* The Fanon party sidequest escalates from enjoying a fairly tame house party, to fighting an illegal hydra the host was keeping locked up in the back room.
-->'''Eddie:''' Anon, why is this happening? I thought we were here to have fun.
-->'''Anonymous:''' It's happening because Catie can be talked into anything.


Added DiffLines:

** If you search for laundry in the dining hall, one of the fighters chews you out for assuming they’d be that unsanitary. Later, when you’re returning the laundry, that same fighter asks you to just leave it on the table, next to his food.
* The whole of the Fight Night quest, but Round 2 is the highlight. Your foes are a 4chan Anon and his deadly robot creation, who spends the first several turns analyzing your moves and devising a perfect strategy to defeat you. Invariably, it decides that the best course of action is to switch sides, [[AIIsACrapshoot defeat its master]], and then escape.
-->'''Enemy Anon:''' T-this isn't fair! Nobody ever said an A.I. could go berserk!
* A later sidequest involves replacing an old man’s dining room table, since his current one has a wobbly leg. The issue is, the new tables you buy tend to shatter at the slightest hiccup, including the old man’s shout of excitement when you finally make it back. Catie finally gets fed up and decides to just fix the problem “her way,” by propping up the original table with some books off a nearby shelf.

Added DiffLines:

* The Instagram weapons shop owner is a pacifist. There’s nothing for sale, she just gives you some encouraging words and sends you on your way.
* In one sidequest, you get hired part-time at the Battle Arena… to do the laundry. As in, the entire process, including the part where you [[InactionSequence sit beside the washing machine]] and wait for the rinse cycle to finish, so you can take the load out, put it in the dryer, [[OverlyLongGag and keep waiting]].
* The Deep Web is 99% raw Nightmare Fuel. The leftover one percent is a cozy, well-lit supermarket run by [[PlantPerson sentient]] [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter onions]].
* In the Phishers’ temple, Catie has to save her friends from the grasp of evil shapeshifters, who have [[ChangelingTale taken their forms]]. It’s all suitably tense… until you get to the room where [[ButtMonkey Shift]] is being held, and his “imposters” look like a bunch of [[GlamourFailure totally different characters]].
-->'''[=PewDiePie=]:''' Thank goodness, It's Catie! Now we can settle this mess.
-->'''Katy:''' Remember me, Catie? It's me, your best pal Shift!
-->'''Hype Train Frog:''' Yeah, we're all your best pals!
-->'''Catie:''' ...this one seems harder than the others.
-->'''Shift:''' ...Seriously?! Quit kidding around and help me!
* When you meet up with Tyalie, she’s been tricked into tagging along with a fake version of the party. After the situation is explained to her, this happens:
-->''' Shift:''' So, long story short, these guys are shapeshifters or something, and they want to kill us.
-->'''Tyalie:''' ''*Turns to face her fake “friends”*'' That's pretty lame. Is it true?
-->'''Fake Catie:''' ...don't listen to them. join us, we've saved a place for you here...
-->''*The fake Catie hisses and slides backward, creating a hole in the group*''
-->'''Tyalie:''' Er, that's a little bit creepy.
* The Phisher King echoes back all the personal information you entered throughout his temple, saying he’s now ready to take your place in society… except you can input anything, which means he’s probably just yelling nonsense at you.
* At the heart of the Deep Web, you finally make it to the boss’s lair. The source of all evil in this nightmarish place. It’s tense, it’s dark, and it’s terrifying. You slowly open the door, prepared to meet your foe, and… he’s in there watching TV next to a pile of wine bottles. He tries to say something dramatic, but the moment is already lost.
** His final form is an onion, taking the dungeon’s RunningGag to its logical conclusion.
