  • The snowball fight at the very beginning of the game has a hilarious case of Video Game Cruelty Potential. Mewt only has 8 HP, and coincidentally, everyone, both ally and enemy, can actually take a shot at Mewt to bring him down to 0 HP, assuming every hit lands.
  • In the second storyline mission, Marche and Montblanc discuss what kind of bandits would steal a thesis, and wonder if they're dealing with "nerdy bandits." They then overhear the bandit leader arguing with his client over the payment, since the bandits stole the wrong thesis. Still, the fact someone hired bandits to steal a thesis of all things is hilarious in itself.
  • While the scene is fairly serious, it's funny to hear Doned dismissively ask if Marche is planning to use the Materite he's gathered to make a "magic salad shooter" or "a Murasumthin'."
  • The "Wanted!" missions have you dealing with a variety of notorious criminals, from a counterfeiting alchemist to an assassin. Black Mage Dolce, however, is wanted for dangerous magic use and eating and running. Apparently, dining and dashing is enough of an offense to warrant being put on a wanted poster in Ivalice.
    Dolce: Who are you guys? Hey! I paid for that food, really!
  • One of the side-quests involves you searching for a lost pet... which happens to be a level 50+ Malboro with 500 HP. Even better yet, the "pet" is named Carrot.
  • The mission in which you recruit Shara initially seems like a standard dispatch mission, until you actually meet the person in question... who was terrified after an antlion larva fell on her head.
  • A lot of the fake laws that the corrupt officials make in the post-game are completely laughable. They go from slightly competent to completely fucking stupid very quickly, and the quest posters make it very clear how annoyed they are.
    • The first official has a law against having weapons, but then has a brief Oh, Crap! moment when he realizes that he can't enforce it against you.
    • A cruel official puts a law against having full HP, thereby forcing people to injure each other to keep one another in compliance with the law, and he proudly states that it's really fun to watch. Thankfully, you can give him a nice dose of Laser-Guided Karma by beating him up, and hear him complain about how much pain hurts once he's beaten.
      Official: (before battle) "Hahaha! Isn't it fun to watch everyone hitting each other?"
      Official: (after being beaten) "Ouch! Ouch! Stop it, that hurts!"
      Marche: (annoyed) "NOW you know how everyone in your region feels!"
    • A lazy official bans reading and writing simply because he refuses to do any paperwork.
      Official: "Reading and writing should be banned! Paperwork sickens me!"
      Marche: "If you hate your job that much, why don't you just quit...?"
    • One law forbids "answering". Amusingly, Marche actually decides to play along with the stupid law to troll the nervous official.
      Official: "W-who are you? W-where did you come from?!"
    • A perverted official flagrantly abuses his authority by declaring that men are free to kiss any of the women they want. After beating up the creep, he whines that he just wanted a girlfriend.
    • Lastly, an unbelievably stupid official bans... running and jumping up stairs. Yes, you read that right. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this is by far, the stupidest thing ever. Look around all the ledges and steps there is around Ivalice, even inside the city and the royal castle, and notice how much of a problem banning this is. Marche doesn't even bother hiding his annoyance at this point.
      Official: (throwing a very childish tantrum) "No! No running and jumping up stairs! No no no!!!"
      Marche: Gimme a break! You can't fight with a law like THAT!
      • In fact, if the lead character of your teamnote  is a Bangaa, they'll take offense on such a thing. Even more so if said Bangaa is a Dragoon, a class which revolves around jumping!
  • An unintentional one during the ending, where Ritz decides to keep her hair as its natural white color. When her classmate asks if she won't dye it anymore, Ritz replies that she might experiment with different colors if she wants to, like green. The classmate reacts with both disgust and awe. Rydia and Terra have green hair, so it's not as gross as the kid thinks...
