Funny / Far Cry 5

Unmarked spoilers below.

---

• Preview trailers show off the game's Montana setting, showing off the beautiful scenery...interrupted by something implying violence. One shows a church as we hear the bell ringing. The camera closes in on the church and a close-up of the steeple shows the source of the ringing: a Peggie repeatedly ramming someone's head into the bell. Twisted, but still funny.
• You can equip, among other silly things, a Vaas Hula Bobblehead to the dashboards of cars and trucks.
• The Leaning on the Fourth Wall joke when Dutch asks you to climb a radio tower.
  Dutch: I know what you're thinking and no, I ain't gonna have you climbing towers all over the county for me, so don't worry.''
• Melee Weapons come in their own category for the first time in the series. However, the funny thing about them is that you can carry two kinds, and stash up to nine of each. So you can carry 9 god damn baseball bats and lengths of pipe each, along with whatever guns you choose. Even considering how Hyperspace Arsenals are just par for the course in video games, this just makes it ridiculous.
  • Among the melee weapons you can equip are Shovels. Fairly standard, right? Well, to make them absolutely ridiculous, your throwing attack with the shovel consists of you hurling it like a god damn javelin. And it will actually impale whoever it hits. So now you're just pulling shovels outta your ass and throwing them like harpoons through the skulls of homicidal cultists... How many times can you say you did that in a video game?
  • In-game physics make it so that the baseball bats may be thrown upwards into the air, and with practice and familiarity, land on the heads of cultists, and more often than not kill them instantly. In the words of the YouTuber linked, "It never gets old."
  • On the week of April 31, Ubisoft took shovels to the logical extreme, by rewarding players who complete the week's online challenge with a Shovel Launcher. Said weapon is literally an RPG refitted to fire shovels with such force that it sends its victims flying several feet.
• John Seed's "Power of Yes" commercial, even considering the context of being recruitment for a psychopathic cult. It just Crosses the Line Twice, being utter corn and cheese with its inspirational community-center music and overly cheery message. And it just gets more absurd as it keeps up with this mood even after presenting Deputy Hudson Bound and Gagged.
  • While Faith's song "Help Me Faith" is a Tear Jerker and Jacob's song, "Set Those Sinners Free" is sinister, John's song, "Oh John" feels like a ridiculously self-aggrandizing advertisement by John, to the point the singers actually call John "bold and brave."
• The scene where we first see Kim Rye in person is very sweet but has its share of humour, including Nick's insistence that he'll be handing his business off to his son despite Kim pointing out that they've seen the ultrasound and she's expecting a girl, he retorts that it's "just a messy black and white TV screen, those things aren't reliable". He also says himself and the Deputy will be like Butch and Sundance, Kim points out they both died in the end.
  • Nick's response is an equally funny "Nah." Seems he and Kim have opposite interpretations of that movie's famous Bolivian Army Ending.
• The "Special Delivery" mission combines this with heartwarming in one, dealing with the Deputy driving while Nick and an in-labor Kim must drive to the clinic. Only problem is, while a high-speed race against time is exciting enough, it is at this point that Murphy's Law takes a trip to Hope County-and decides to hit it full-force. Kim clenches Nick's hand so hard she just about breaks it, and trucks and planes explode while the Deputy drives so Kim can deliver the child. Throughout the whole thing, the sniping between Kim and Nick is legendarily hilarious. At one point, Kim breaks the fourth wall and asks "Who keeps putting this stuff in the road?!" when you encounter bales of hay, random trucks, and other various obstacles designed to slow you down.
• If you look around Nick’s hanger you can find a piece of paper on the bar with a list of possible baby names written by Nick... they’re all variations on his name, even the girl’s names are things like Nicole and Nicola.
• Hope County is very proud of its annual "Testicle Festival", which involves eating "Rocky Mountain Oysters" (read: bull balls), and is not shy about it. Just look at the many billboards and signs you can find advertising the event, complete with a cartoon bull making a priceless Oh, Crap! face. And the best part? In one line of side-missions, you help make it happen.
  • To expand on the above, the cook of the Spread Eagle bar asks you collect three sets of bull testicles by running over one in a tractor, burning the second to death with fire and the third... you have to kill while it is having sex with a cow complete with Sexual Healing playing as the background music. The mission ends with The Deputy getting completely wasted and waking up on a baseball field with two pigs and a goat wearing party hats.
  • The cook has some excellent nicknames for the dish you're helping to prepare. As well as Rocky Mountain Oysters and Cowboy Caviar, he also calls them 'Beef Tendergroins'.
  • The cherry on the top? You get a shirt for completing the sidequest, which reads "Testicle Festival" on it.
• Like in most games, there are no children around (neither humans nor animals), and you can find notes speculating as to why that may be.
  • The first one (about human children) involves Elon Musk, human factories, and underground baby fighting pits. No, seriously◊
  • The second, about animals, may bring to mind someone's rant about chemicals.
• Hurk is back, and he's still the same hilarious idiot he always was.
  Hurk: Reach into that there cooler, see if we have any cans of woop ass left and pass me a beer if there's one.
  • When you first meet Hurk, he has some remarks Leaning on the Fourth Wall. First off, if the deputy is female, than upon meeting her Hurk immediately feels the need to offer a convoluted rambling about how he doesn't mean anything gender-specific when he refers to people as "man" or "Dude" that goes well past where it needs to, obviously poking fun at the fact that this is the first game in the series where the protagonist can be female. He then remarks about "deja vu" because while he has only just met the deputy he has worked with the player in other games.
  • His cousin Sharky is just as moronic and entertaining, too. Special mention to his recruitment mission, where he fights off a swarm of Angels (mindless bliss-addicts) with a flamethrower, all while Disco Inferno by The Trammps plays from giant speakers.
  • Combine the two, and you have entertaining unique dialog between them. One conversation involves vacationing after the cult is done, another is about how Hurk Jr. mentions he misses traveling with Sharky because mosquitoes always liked the latter better, and a third is Sharky musing on some extremely uncomfortable Fridge Logic at Hurk's expense.
  • Hurk Sr. is some darkly funny political humor, hating everything from intellectuals to Canadians with all-American venom.
• In-game physics, and the concept of wrong place, wrong time.
• While making your way up to the Raptor Peak Prepper Stash, you'll come across several eagle nests, one with human bones and... a toilet plunger.
• If you go up behind the big "YES" sign in Holland Valley, you will find that someone rather childishly wrote "THE FATHER STINKS!" on the back.
  • The letters on the changeable sidewalk sign outside the garage in Fall's End are arranged to say "FUCK JOSEPH" on the bottom line.
• If you've got two companions, having Peaches or Cheeseburger in one slot and any human companion in the other will provide you with non-stop commentary ranging from terror to mistrust to admiration. Grace, for example, will comment that it used to be that Adelaide was the biggest cougar in the county.
• Any time you find a Peggie with a flamethrower trying to fight a bull. Unstoppable angry bovine is now unstoppable angry bovine that's on fire.
• The little intro cutscene to the Clutch Nixon challenges, which features an explosion with a Bald Eagle flying out of it and screaming at you, is hilarious in how over-the-top patriotic it is. Also, the little introduction to the stunts you have to do just because the Testosterone Poisoning is absolutely ridiculous.
• Some enemies fall on their knees and reach out for the skies once you kill them, in a very Platoon-ish animation. It looks specially ridiculous when they have an arrow sticking out of their forehead.
• The achievement, “Where's The Beef?,” involves the player having to kill a bull with their bare hands alone. It's even funnier (and much easier) if you take the Furious homeopathic, making your melee strikes ultra powerful one-hit kills that send the victim flying.
• After doing some Evil Gloating due to him finally identifying what your sin is, John runs off with a bound up Hudson while the chamber you're in fills with gas. How is that particularly funny? As he makes his escape, it looks like he's makes what looks like the sign of the horns then flips you off.-
• In case you were wondering why they're the Hope County Cougars.
• Evidently, Cheeseburger the Bear got his name for his love of eating cheeseburgers; but the handlers had to stop feeding them to him after he developed "the diabeetus".
• Skipping the dialogue that occurs when starting a side mission results in the character giving a one-sentence summary of what you're supposed to be doing. This leads to some rather straightforward directives like "Kill the cult's drugged-out moose!"
• The Furious homeopathic is basically the game's version of Doom's Berserk Pack. Striking anything with a melee attack while on this drug basically ends up with the victim being Blown Across the Room by a hilariously overpowered attack. It also makes the "Where's The Beef?" and "Ignoble Beasts" achievements comically easy to obtain.
• One of the quest-givers is conspiracy theorist who gives you some explosives to blow up a Peggie mine. He says they're the same thing that took down World Trade Center Tower 7.^note Tower 7 was not directly struck by the planes, but was seriously damaged and set on fire by the collapse of the North Tower. Due to a lack of water pressure and FDNY's services being overwhelmed due to massive casualties, the fire went uncontrolled until the building collapsed from the damage. If you're familiar with that topic, you probably already know that the Truthers were never actually able to figure out what those charges would've been made of, much less replicate them. ^note All they can do is come up with a list of mutually-contradictory criteria, like being able to cut through steel relatively quietly (thermite or nano-thermite) but also quickly (like an explosive). Small and unobtrusive enough to be secretly installed and not noticed, but also durable to literally survive getting hit by a plane. The only "explanation" has been some top-secret explosive never seen before or since. The guy basically just handed you Unobtanium.
• Far Cry 5 has some... "interesting" solutions to handling multiplayer clients freezing.
• Adelaide Drubman is a treasure-mine of funny.
  • While she's trapped in the occupied marina, you can hear her cussing out the Peggies and threatening to beat their asses. Aside from the dialogue being hilarious, there's an added layer of comedy when you consider that unlike other characters captured by the cult, Adelaide has simply been locked in a room- which lends to the possibility that the Peggies had no other way of dealing with her, and thus just had to contain her as best they could.
  • And after you save the marina and turn it back over to you, she asks you to help retrieve her helicopter ('Tulip') from them as well, leading to this line of dialogue:
    Adelaide: Those Peggie shitbirds stole my Tulip! She's the nimblest goddamn helicopter this side of Montana, and I'll be god-damned if those fuck-trumpets are gonna take her from me. I won that bird in my divorce fair and square! The walking erectile-dysfunction who took her painted her that awful shade of Peggie mayonnaise. The only way you'll be able to find her is if you ID the pilot: Should be easy to spot him, the only other birds in the area are flown by women. We all used to fly together on weekends, but that friendship went tits-up after those thundercunts joined Eden's Gate. So I got no problem if you accidentally shoot them in their disloyal faces.
  • If you've already met Hurk, you get this gem:
    Adelaide: Yes, I'm Hurk's mom, and no, I don't want to know what he's been up to. It's called plausible deniability.
• Some of the random quotes your generic Fighters (Guns for Hire) can yell during combat can be funny:
  (on Takedowns in open combat) PRETTY FUCKING NINJA! / FATALITY!
• One phone message left by a Hope County resident accuses the Peggies of "putting shit in the manure."
• Take Jess, the shellshocked bow-wielding, Peggie-loathing hunter, on a roadtrip and aim your front grill for any cultist dumb enough to step into the road, and she'll gleefully pipe in with, "Ten points!"
• Some of the Mad Libs Dialogue between the Peggies can lead to hilarious exchanges.

  (as they're searching for you)

  Peggie 1: You little shit!

  Peggie 2: Right back atcha!

Lost On Mars DLC

• The entire concept is hilarity: Hurk Drubman gets seduced by ANN (the same one Larry Parker was talking about), but fails to complete the tasks she's set down for him- so he has to call Nick Rye up on Earth and then abduct him to get him to Mars so that he can do it. Most of the DLC is Nick and Hurk bantering with one another as they try to complete their mission.
• One of the main objectives is to collect all of Hurk's body parts that are scattered around the map and every time you collect one he will comment on it.
  • One of the parts you have to collect are his "Manboobs".
• The very last fight of the add-on has you fighting a whole bunch of clones of Hurk.
• There are geothermal anomalies that you can investigate to get power cores, and all of them involve Nick hallucinating about Montana and Eden's Gate. One of them has him at John Seed's ranch, where he's attacked by dozens of John Seeds- and then proceeds to gleefully kill them all.
  Nick Rye: DIE, ASSHOLE! Man, this feels great!
  • Meanwhile, Hurk is listening to this all and is seriously unnerved.
    Hurk: I'm worried 'bout you, Nicholas. [...] You got issues you need to work out, man.
  • Later:
  Nick Rye: Man, this is intense!
  Hurk: What's intense is getting a chubby from killing the same dude over and over again. Know what else is intense? Camping.
• There are Clutch Nixon missions on Mars - and going with the up to eleven theme of the DLC, they are even more hilariously manly than those on earth. Just for one example, one plaque tells a story of how Clutch, realizing there are no shops in Mars, took his remaining wolf testosterone and bear urine, mixed them together, and injected it directly into his heart.
