History VideoGame / ConkersBadFurDay

* BinomiumRidiculus: Professor von Kriplespac describes Conker's species as ''Furrius squidgetterius''.

* FaintInShock: Of the overjoyed variety. When Conker sees [[BuxomIsBetter how huge Jugga's breasts are]], he passes out.

* TimedMission: The escape from the Tediz island. Once the little girl activates the SelfDestruct sequence, you have 4 minutes and 30 seconds to escape. Luckily, if you die before getting outside (and still have lives in hand), the clock resets to full time. Once you're outside, if you die, you respawn at the entrance to the compound, but you only get 2 minutes.

* TreacherousQuestGiver: The Bats' Tower chapter begins as a group of catfish ladies ask Conker to retrieve a money that is guarded in a safe, but unapproachable due to an angry bulldog-like fish; the reward, they say, is 10% of their fortune for him. After several hardships (including defeating a boss), Conker succeeds and retrieves the money... which consists of 10$, meaning that he'll only gain one dollar for having risked his life scaling a tower full of vengeful bats, dealing with a pervert cog who was sexually abusing other cogs, traversing a dangerous underwater maze, ''and'' fighting a living boiler piloted by fire imps who wanted to bully him. [[FromBadToWorse And then the bulldog fish breaks free and proceeds to eat the catfish ladies, aiming at Conker next]]. Only after barely escaping the hungry monster, does Conker receive a ''real'' reward (300$).

->"''A hangover is never pretty. A hungover squirrel? That's just obscene.''"

->"''It all started.... yesterday. What a day that was! It's what I call... a bad fur day.''"
-->-- '''Conker''', opening cutscene

* PlatformActivatedAbility: This is famously how the game displays the trope-naming ContextSensitiveButton. As Conker makes his way back home, he'll find round marks in the floor (often colored gray) with letter B written in the center. If Conker sands onto such a mark and the player presses B, then he can make use of an object that is called for use, ranging from a slingshot to kill some beetles to a ''bazooka'' to obliterate a killer Tediz; in other cases, Conker does something without using anything at hand. It's important to note that some marks won't do anything at first even if B is pressed, as a different action or EventFlag has to be performed beforehand for it to work.

* {{Gainaxing}}: The sunflower's and Jugga's jiggling breasts, and probably, the latter's name is a pun of that.

''Conker's Bad Fur Day'' is one of ten UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}} games released in March 2001. A sequel to the little-known ''VideoGame/ConkersPocketTales'', a kid-friendly UsefulNotes/GameBoy platformer, this game was likewise intended to be a children's game; first under the name ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEuFNl4s9yI Conker's Quest]]'', and later ''VideoGame/TwelveTalesConker64''. However, after too many comments about them making yet another cutesy platformer Creator/{{Rare}} had enough, and the British developer decided to change course. Going in the opposite direction, instead of yet another colorful all-ages romp in the vein of [[VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing their]] [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie other]] [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong64 N64 titles]], they were going to make a "controversial" game aimed at adults and older teens.

Inspired by ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', the game was rechristened ''Conker's Bad Fur Day'' and promised to be filled to the brim with scatological humour, sexual innuendo (some more subtle than others), cartoon violence, and swearing. Originally thought to be an April Fools joke, the announcement turned out to be completely true.

* BalefulPolymorph: Batula transforms Conker into a bat and demands he fetch villagers as victims. [[spoiler:The transformation wears off after the Count's death.]]

* IdiotPlot: PlayedForLaughs. The Panther King is so monumentally stupid that he requires a ''scientist'' to tell him that the reason his milk keeps spilling is because the table next to his throne where he puts it is ''missing a leg''. Ze Professor (who it turns out is nearly as much a moron as his majesty) comes up with the novel solution to kidnap and use a red squirrel (our protagonist) in lieu of the missing leg. You know, instead of simply using glue or duct tape to fix the table or buying a new table.

* TogglingSetpiecePuzzle: During the Uga Buga chapter, Conker eventually gains access to the Rock Solid nightclub, and notices that Berri is trapped in a stone jail, being force to dance for the present public. Beneath the jail are three doors, of which the second is open and the other two are closed. The open door leads to a path above the jail that has some dancing strippers and leads to a switch that opens the closed doors while closing the open one; and the closed doors lead to the ceiling right above the jail. The problem? The switch is a PressurePlate, so the doors will only alternate their states as long as the switch is kept pressed. Conker has to get drunk and urinate onto a male Rockman to push it like a boulder to the open central door, and then push it normally across the upper path to the switch (while avoiding the moving strippers) so it's kept pressed. Then, with the closed doors now open (and the central one closed), Conker has to urinate onto two more Rockmen to push them respectively into the doors and make them fall onto Berri's jail, breaking it to free her.

* SirSwearsALot: A good majority of the cast, but Carl (the ruder of the two cogs) [[UpToEleven takes the cake]]. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Conker.

* LonelyAtTheTop: Inverted. At the end, Conker's adored by most of the cast he assisted throughout the game, but he hates all of them, and [[spoiler:the one person he loves the most, Berri, is dead]].

* TheStinger: [[spoiler:We have the newly crowned King Conker stumble out of the bar just like in the beginning]] ...which is both a HereWeGoAgain moment and seemingly a SequelHook.

* StormingTheBeach: Conker joins up with the Squirrel High Command in its war against the Tediz. He joins a force of Squirrel troops who must capture an enemy beach and attack a large stronghold. They even wear American UsefulNotes/WorldWarII uniforms. The scene where Conker stands on the beach watching in absolute horror as his fellow squirrels are cut down all around him is one of the very few serious moments in what is otherwise a hilarious comedic game. The player (as Conker) must then charge up the beach while ducking behind cover to avoid machine gun fire.
