As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- "The Haunting" has been the game's starter adventure for forty years. Therefore, there's four decades' worth of players who have stories about that damn bed catapulting them out the window.
- The game module for Mr. Corbitt has the hilarious suggestion that one reaction the investigators can have to seeing Corbitt's terrifying cannibalistic Yog-Sogoth spawn is to adopt it as their own child. Given the investigators are likely to have a bout of madness just from seeing the thing, it's easier to justify than one may think, but it's still pretty out there.
- Also, if Corbitt gets suspicious, he'll try to get the investigators out of his hair by giving them fruit laced with extreme hallucinogenics.
- Corbitt's accomplice is a satanist who mistakenly thinks Corbitt is one too. It's pretty funny thinking of how Corbitt probably just ran with it to get the guy to give him body parts.
- The description of a Dhole in the 7e Keeper's Guide has this little gem:
Fighting Attacks: A blow from its bulk is like being hit by a train. If a dhole crushes an investigator, death is automatic. With a successful Luck roll, enough can be found to bury.
- While the overall module leans more towards action and nightmare fuel, The Two Headed Serpent does have some genuine moments of hilarity:
- The playable part of the module begins with your boss, about to tell you your "real mission," getting shot in the head.
- The leaders or two warring factions of serpent people happened to have consumed the likenesses of a man and his daughter, which will absolutely be used to justify ones' enmity for the other. In reality, they just serve different mythos gods, as does the third possible big bad—you're essentially in the middle of a serpent-person religious schism over who takes over the world and in what way.
- If the living mummy Tyranish is brought back to Caduceus alive, players can come across a room where she is being interrogated...only for her to escape with almost comic ease through a portal.
- The fact that Caduceus is constantly shipping things to its lower levels to the point where Phillip Connors notes that what's been sent down shouldn't even fit, several times over, and has to blame it on people writing requests wrong because it's the only logical explanation to him. In reality, there's a portal downstairs that he's in the dark about.
- Meanwhile, the local mafia assumes Caduceus' shady warehouses must be for drugs so the company can home in on their turf. They could not be more wrong—try giant mosquitoes, bombs, and other dangerous mythos mad science.
- One of the spells in the Call of Cthulhu 7th edition Spell handbook is Feast of Owl, which teleports a small burrowing owl inside the target's stomach, forcing it to eat it's way out of the target, which is Obviously horrible, but it's quite the absurd way of attacking and one could imagine the owl being just as panicked and confused as the receiver.
- The module Fear of Flying has Alfred Clark, the secret Serpent Person who must have slighted Yig in a past life. He's supposed to kill and take the likeness of a foreign industrialist to take over his factory for evil Serpent Person plots. Instead, he manages to almost bungle the operation by accidentally walking into the wrong, very much occupied hotel room, covered in blood after skipping out for a midnight snack of dog (and of course it's one of the PC's rooms), accidentally getting his picture taken which may (or may not) reveal his true nature as a Serpent Person which results in him killing the photographer before the photo gets developed in what may (or may not be) a fit of unfounded paranoia, and gets revealed anyway by an airline stewardess accidentally spilling a cup of really hot coffee in his lap, which breaks his disguise spell. The best part about this being that he has no idea the spell's been broken and is still frantically dabbing a napkin on his scaly lap and calling the stewardess an idiot, only to realize the jig is up when people start screaming about a snake monster and start drawing guns on him.
