The forum RP:

  • Zeloth kicks Aquaman in the 'special area', his surfer-dude voice turning high-pitched as he battles with the supervillain.
  • Zeloth comments that his left butt cheek can guide better than the guide, whereupon the guide takes this seriously and stares at said butt cheek in awe.

The PC game:

  • Using Eli Barracuda to force agents into dancing.
  • Some of the interrogation methods - notably, the Michael Jackson dancing routine for the interrogation chair (to be specific, it's from Smooth Criminal).
  • The various traps are good for a laugh if you enjoy the slapstick suffering of your enemies... and your minions, since they can fall into them just as easily. Depending on the layout, an Agent can cause a handful of minions to accidentally fall into your piranha tank instead of the Agent. The Henchmen can also fall into the traps as well, leading to such things as Lord Kane getting baffled by a Misdirection Sign and getting smacked into next week, or Eli Barracuda falling for the Do Not Press This Button trap and getting his hand crushed.
  • Most of the radio snippets you hear after completing an AoI are funny in some way. Most of them contain some combination of Kent Brockman News, ridiculous accents and people who are Too Dumb to Live.
    • A good example that has all three is the one in India with the reporter reporting on traffic while riding an elephant. With the result that most of the traffic he can see is a large traffic jam caused by him riding an elephant down the middle of the road.
    • When Bill and Larry, the two hosts of Pacific Radio, comment on mafia don Marvin de Luca leaving the country to attend the meeting of major criminals on the Evil Genius's island, Bill remarks on "all those big guns", questioning if maybe said criminals are Compensating for Something. This prompts Larry to dive and cover Bill's mouth with his hand, frantically explaining that Bill's views "do not represent my own." The broadcast fades out with Larry's muffled yelling at his co-host for almost getting them killed.
  • The Australasian radio host gets it extra bad in the storyline missions you do to take over the world; in light of the news being too depressing lately what with all those evil crimes going on, the station's producers have decided to add some humor... by adding a clown comedian on as a co-host, Comedy Bruce. The host's reaction to his new co-host's painfully unfunny jokes: "This is gonna be a looooong day..."
    • This pair get expanded upon in later radio broadcasts, showing how well the original host is handling Comedy Bruce's "wacky" takes on the Evil Genius' misdeeds. Stealing the Doomsday technology in Australasia has the two give a complete broadcast together, ending in the usually calm host finishing the broadcast by saying "I hate you so much Bruce!". Recruiting the Great Mesmero shows that, while on his way out of Australia, Mesmero hypnotized Comedy Bruce into thinking he's a dingo, resulting in Bruce disappearing into the Outback, presumably because he too was annoyed at the clown. The original host dryly notes that maybe the Evil Organization isn't so bad after all...
