History Funny / GeniusTheTransgression

* Some of the slang terms revealed are worth a few laughs. For example, particularly inept or useless Beholden are known as [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain Pinkys]] while child Geniuses are [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Wesleys]].

*** Could be viewed as HilariousInHindsight considering the writers' of WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty stance on introducing time travel into the show and Ricks own antics involving death rays and alcohol.

* The fact the [[DefectorFromDecadence Nagivators]] left Lemuria not because they were evil, but because they were {{Obstructive Bureaucrat}}s and {{Insufferable Genius}}es who [[FascistButInefficient couldn't even do Armageddon right]], is in itself quite funny.

* The table describing the various Sizes a Wonder can have, as well as the time needed to build them based on it, start at lesser than 0 (1 turn) and goes up to [[Film/ANewHope "That's no Moon"]] (1 million years).

* A female Genius described in one of the book's text is mentioned to be such a CardCarryingVillain she has an "atomic holocaust"-themed ''bathroom''. Nuff says.

* The entry for the "SteamPunk" aesthetic mentions how this one is especially popular among the Postgrads. The Martian Empire, who sometimes uses this Aesthetic, is mentionned to be "Confused, but happy, that they are now "totally hip"."

* The book's take on the HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct trope; turns out Genuises have been thinking about it, and Hitler has already been killed ''six'' times over; The Time Cops have been cloning him whenever this happened to make sure things would still go the way it should; they actually have an entire factory of Hitler clones dedicated to this, and give tours. Not only that, but Hitler wasn't even the original guy leading the Nazi, they just decided it was more practical to clone him rather than look for new replacements.

* The Railgun variable's description includes a small paragraph clarifying that this variable doesn't actually refer to what Railgun means in real-life -- Geniuses use this term to describe guns so huge they ''literally'' needed to be placed on rails to be transported when they were first used.

* Metaptropi allows you turn a blood-thirsty dinosaur into a docile rabbit... or more accurately a blood-thirsty rabbit; the mind remains the same.

** And then another entry below, titled "Really stupid Time Travel", states that "messing with yourself from a previous time travel jaunt is about the stupidest thing you can do without a death ray and a bottle of tequila."

* Like most supernaturals, Geniuses have a list of laws they are supposed to follow and respect, each with its own name. The name for the law regarding their position toward Lemuria is hilarious concise and straightforward:

-->"... is almost always a bad idea."

* The part of the book describing statistics the Inspired population mentions that Child Geniuses are actually fairly rare- though they usually ''are'' as [[BrattyHalfPint annoying]] as everyone says.

-->"[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]] Lemuria."

--> ''"There is more to Heaven and Earth than your endless, insufferable whining. I have heard the song of the universe, and it's telling you to shut up."''

* The opening text for the [[OnlySaneMan Klagen]], involving one trying to convince his collegue to not try to raise the dead, is darkly hilarious:

--> "[[LargeHam Behold my]] ''[[LargeHam CRYOPIG!!!]]''[[note]][[RolePlayingGame CRPG]][[/note]]\\

"It's a beautiful cryopig!"
