* At the start of his DuelToTheDeath with Sam, Higgs encourages him to fight him with his Strand. Turns out this is not only the most effective way to beat him, but the funniest. Sam will casually dodge his attacks, truss him up in unbreakable rope, knock him over with a knee to the gut, and then merrily stomp on him over and over until he teleports away to begin the whole painful, humiliating process again. It really drives home what a disastrous HumiliationConga the whole situation is for the wannabe pharaoh of America.

** Take a massive load of cargo almost as tall as Sam is and definitely about to make him fall over. Get on one of the reverse trikes, which is basically a motorcycle, and begin riding forward. Move the camera to the side and notice how ArtisticLicense comes into play as physics go out the window, with a full tower of cargo leaning over and ''beyond'' Sam's head without falling over despite no real way of buckling it down being visible outside the (relatively tiny) backpack.

* [[https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/1441697501992476674?s=20 Hideo Kojima]] went to the store and found that it was a self-serve shop; no employees and everything is run on automatons, almost like in ''Death Stranding''. So, to top off the experience, Kojima put his bag over his chest like a BB. Apparently, he does this quite often.

** It's also hilarious since it was speculated both in-universe and out-of-universe that Higgs and Cliff were associates, only to turn out that they're separate plot threads and the two have no idea who each other are.

* The beginning of the game is appropriately somber, with the one humorous break being Sam landing his bike from a long jump…and smashing right into Fragile! She immediately teleports away (and doesn't seem to hold it against him when they talk later), but Sam immediately wipes out, losing most of his cargo and watching his bike slide off the cliff.
