Funny / Crash Team Racing

• The introductory scene. After Oxide gives his speech to the world, we are introduced to the main eight characters preparing themselves for the challenge. Tiny fixes his kart... by smashing it with a hammer. Polar is reading a "How to Drive" book upside-down. Dingodile's motor explodes in his face leaving it black. And Crash... is sleeping.
• The fact that the racers have the same face all the time. Crash, Tiny, Cortex, Polar... all smiling. Even when Aku-Aku or Uka-Uka are talking very seriously.
• In the character select screen for Adventure Mode, each one of them, when picked, does a brief action and makes a happy/excited exclamation... except for N. Gin, who says "Ow!" after hitting his thumb with the hammer he was using.
• The potential of interrupting Aku-Aku and Uka-Uka when they are giving instructions and suggestions.
  • Speaking of, the Large Ham delivery of Uka-Uka in Adventure Mode.
  Uka Uka: The DOTS and STARS on the map...
• During the races, when hitting rival racers. Using the unavoidable sphere when everyone is further than your character and hearing the chorus of "ouch", "ow" and "damn" from the other racers is simply hilarious.
• Being a racing game where random things happen, funny moments can occur any time, e.g. the player is having fun with their friends at the multiplayer mode.
• In meta terms, an interview reveals that Naughty Dog specifically created Oxide so that the series would jump the shark or, in their words, "We tried to kill Crash". Because they believed no one would take an alien seriously.
  Jason Rubin, Naughty Dog Co-founder: This will be the end, we've jumped the shark, the alien came into CTR. Everybody loved it!
• "Tiny squash puny cars!"
• An unintentional one happens with Penta Penguin, since Naughty Dog accidentally left placeholders for a couple of his voice lines in the game. Thus, amid his normal squeaks and squeals, you'll suddenly hear "Penguin yay one/two", in a completely serious voice, completely out of nowhere. It's every bit as hilarious as it is jarring. Behold!
  • Then one of the people who worked on the game discovered the above issue. The first thing then-employee Rob Titus did when he got his hands on a copy of the master was input the code to unlock Penta. When he heard programmer Gavin James's voice come out of Penta, his immediate reaction before desperately trying to call the factory was simply "Oh shit!"
• In the epilogue, it's mentioned that Oxide later decided to try and reclaim his title as racing champion with a different vehicle... which is a unicycle. The resulting accident he had from trying to use it is allegedly so horrible that the summary can't bring itself to describe it.
• Oxide’s defeat animation.
• Crash's "A-WHEEEEEE!!!" when performing a big jump.
