As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

  • As with previous Soulsborne games, the critical attack animations can be quite hilarious, with many of them looking like you're shoving your weapon (or, if unarmed, your fists) up the enemies' butts or or through their crotches. This is especially and famously apparent with the Maneater Boar.
  • The description for the Pebble item.
    "Can be thrown at enemies. Quite thrilling."
  • The Doll's reaction when you do the Make Contact gesture in front of her is to stare blankly for over a minute, and then clap enthusiastically once you switch arm positions. Actually, quite a few of her gesture reactions fall into either this or the "downright adorable" category. Several other gestures cause her to give a delightfully polite and understated Quizzical Tilt.
    • Since the Brain of Mensis also only reacts when you switch arms, it seems to imply that you and possibly the entire Healing Church have been getting the gesture wrong, and it's supposed to be with the other arm raised.
  • Kicking corpses around for the Ragdoll Physics to kick in in all their wonky glory is a very good way to defuse the tension after a big fight.
  • The supposedly-safe Hunter's Dream is full of bloodstains, showing people who either jumped off of ledges to kill themselves or using the transformed state of the Chikage or Logarius' Wheel to drain their own health to nothing. Not to mention the ones with cursed blood gems on their gear that reduce their health over time. More than a few blood stains can be found in front of the weapon fortification station, where someone added a cursed gem to their equipped weapon, and were working on another, blissfully unaware of what was happening until it was too late...
  • The mace-wielding Merciless Watchers. They're stark naked except for a pair of tattered booties. And they roll. Talk about taking the piss on "Fat Rolling"!note 
  • On the first floor of the Lecture Hall, there's a room where you'll suddenly be assaulted by a dozen blob students. After killing all of the aggressive ones, you will, regardless of which door you started from, see at least two students who remained fast asleep through the entire battle, even with molotovs being thrown, guns being fired, or even a literal cannon going off in the room. Whether human or monster, some college students can sleep through anything.
  • Micolash is probably the only character in the game who can be described as wacky. He makes odd moans and howls (he's trying to imitate a beast purely to mock you, but he does a hilariously bad job of it), will trip over his own shoelaces if you chase him long enough, and when killed will scream about forgetting everything with all the gravitas of a whiny toddler. Never mind the fact that he's dead in the real world.
  • Rom's spiders landing on their head if they miss you after a jumping attack. Has quite a cartoonish feel, leg twitching and all.
  • Some of the enemies you'll encounter in the game are wheelchair-bound old men wielding unusually large firearms, such as lever-operated gatling guns or large long rifles with a heavy kick, and they cackle like giddy children while using them. You get the sense that in spite of the rampant plague and deadly beasts running amok, these old-'n'-loopy coots are having the time of their lives.
  • If you wear the Gold Ardeo, helmet of the Executioner set, and slide down a ladder, it will clank against every rung on the way down. (While the sound effect in the video is, sadly, edited in, the animation of the helmet smacking on the rungs is not.)
  • One of the new runes in the DLC changes you into a Lumenwood. Besides just looking ridiculous, with your head looking like an over-sized glowing cauliflower, it also changes your rolls to what can best be described as a faceplant.
  • In the Cathedral area of the DLC, you can find a stack of books, including copies of How to Pick Up Fair Maidens. You know who else owns copies of this book? Gehrman.
  • Lady Maria’s boss cutscene begins with her slumped over in a chair, seemingly lifeless. Before even being able to nudge her, she grips their wrist, shoves her face close to theirs, and admonishes them by stating “A corpse should be left well alone.” While a Double Meaning in that she is referring to the Fishing Hamlet she doesn’t want discovered, it seems like her boss fight is motivated by killing you for barely touching a corpse rather than anything more serious.
  • On occasion, Central Yharnam hunters can be seen lifting their boot, giving it a shake, and scraping the sole on the ground. Even if you're a blood-crazed werewolf, stepping in dog poop is still just gross!
  • When you give the password to the gatekeeper, you discover his skeletal remains when you pass through. Examine him, and you get this message:
    Already Dead.
  • It's not likely, but it's possible for both you and the enemy you are fighting to run out of stamina at the same time, leading to an awkward moment in which both of you can't really do anything, so you pause in the middle of an otherwise frenetic fight to the death.
  • If you swiftly kill the Patches spider in the Lecture Hall on sight, he’ll use his dying words to say that that was mighty uncharitable of you.
  • While Brainsucker enemies are obnoxious, after they drain your Insight, they let out a cartoonish burp.
  • The Eye Collector and Witch of Hemwick’s death screams are so loud and overdramatic compared to everything else in the game that they can’t help but be funny.
  • In the Hunter's Nightmare, just before you get to the battlefield where you fight Laurence, two huntsmen will run up to the cathedral doors as they open, only for a Nightmare Executioner to step out and fold them like quesadillas. While they do manage to briefly contend with it, they never end up winning.
  • Once you get past the initial horror of the Orphan of Kos, you can find some humor in that fact that it's quite literally a giant baby. Complete with mindlessly yelping and screaming like a Tom and Jerry character all throughout its boss fight.
    Orphan: YEOW
    • It got even funnier when Pizza Tower came out, and people discovered that Peppino's screams were samples from the exact same sound set as the Orphan of Kos'.
