  • The zombified employees of the food court will sometimes make offensive gestures from time to time. The phrases they say are also hilarious. And they even fling carnival food around.
    "This guy needs a mop!"
    "Clean up on aisle seven!"
  • During the Dino-Rama portion of Rickety Town, you’ll have to deal with Carnie the Dinosaur. Just the way these things walk with such a goofy demeanor almost makes you feel bad when you have to kill them... But this is a rail shooter, so you don’t have much of a choice.
  • In the final level, during the shoot-out with the Mad Scientist clowns: In the background, you can see their chalkboard...which is emblazoned with the phrase "Umlaut is a Kiss-Ass!" among various equations and drawings of a brain. Guess the player isn't the only one who hates him, huh?
    • Also in the final level, there are three dressing rooms of descending size. The biggest one has a dwarf clown inside, the middle one has Betty, and the last one explodes when a hulking clown emerges. Which then attacks you with a squeaky mallet.
    • And those same giant clowns "speak" in squeaks and whistles while you're shooting them full of holes.
  • Anyone who doesn't like mimes will enjoy mowing down the mimes who just seem to get in the way.
    • The mimes also incorporate the various mutilations you do on them into their acts.
  • The Spanish-speaking imps:
    "¡Oh, mi cabeza!"
    "¡Hola! Me llamo Muertito."
  • Tökkentäkker's Gratuitous German during the Final Battle. Made even better by the voice actor throwing subtlety completely out the window.
  • Speaking of Tökkentäkker, it turns out he has a certain plan for the protagonist... to cut out his brain and put it in a gorilla with machine guns for arms. Really.
  • "Come on and ride! Big Bunyan Ride! We'll ride and ride! Into the night! YOU WILL SCREAM AND CRY AND THEN YOU'LL DIE! (Then you'll die, then you'll die, then you'll die...)"
  • The Museum of the Slightly Curious in the Freak Show is absolutely hilarious. Although most of the exhibits are easy to miss, especially while you're gunning down enemies, some of them are surprisingly funny, and in a way, provide a little break from the horrors of the rest of the level.
    • A Trog makes a cameo, frozen in an ice block.
    • "Thing in a Jar". While the thing itself is an eyeball, which is a little disturbing, the vagueness of the label is pretty funny.
    • The museum is also home to the "World's Largest Shoe", which would probably be unexciting in any freak show, but is especially hilarious considering that it's found at an evil magic carnival.
  • Buried in the game's code (as seen on TCRF) are numerous placeholder images, mostly for the stage-select screen. While most of them are fairly normal aside from having different names, the earliest image for Rickety Town (then known as Mr. Rickety) is just some colored text on an image of Sailor Jupiter.
  • As this TAS shows, Junior is coded such that, no matter how quickly you deplete his health, you still have to go through all the stages of the fight. Figures it would be the giant baby that's Made of Iron, huh?
  • In the kitchen of the Haunted House, there's a child's crayon drawing on the refrigerator... of Evil Marie decapitating someone.
