  • Professor K has quite a few moments:
    • When "Mr. Osaki" asks about dealing with a roach problem (instead of going to a pest professional, for whatever reason), Prof. K quickly and nonchalantly suggests he burn his house down. When he actually goes through with this and asks what to do next, Prof. K is dumbfounded and angry that someone actually took his advice seriously. All he says is "How should I know, fool?"
    • He immediately punctuates Pots' disappearance with a near-perfect imitation of a stock dog howl. Who knew he had it in him?
    • His claims of the station's popularity get increasingly absurd, culminating in "Martians come all the way to Earth, just to listen to us!"
    • "Even the keisatsu tune in when they're not eating donuts!" After the beatings the player goes through, this typical Donut Mess with a Cop joke upgrades to a cathartic Take That!
    • How does he illustrate the danger of the Tokyo Underground Sewage Facility?
      "The sewers are as tricky and twisted as my ex-girlfriend, and twice as smelly."
    • If you fall off a skyscraper, he'll shout "Sayonara!" even if you die from the impact.
  • When Pots is kidnapped, you'd expect Beat to be distraught. Instead, he gives a nonchalant and amused shrug.
  • If you go for Benten-Cho and the Noise Tanks first, rather than Kogane-Cho and Poison Jam, then instead of Pots getting kidnapped... the GG's base gets infested with frogs.
  • Onishima will call tanks and air strikes against skating teenagers if his toadies can't handle them. What makes it funnier than Hayashi's calls for backup is his panicked bark in the face of the "danger."
  • When most of the player characters fall in Future, they scream. When Yo-Yo falls, he seems to go through all five stages of grief at once.
  • During one of Gouji's speeches, his intimidating facade breaks when he forgets the name of his "tower of ultimate beauty." His nice save:
    The name of this tower of ultimate beauty is...eh..blibbity blah blah blah, the name is IRRELEVANT!
  • In Future, there's a crowd of identical women who shout "He touched my butt!" all at once. Even when you're playing as a girl or you're nowhere near them, as if they're reacting at thin air.
  • Many of the graffiti tags in Future have weird, funny names.
    • "Will Be Right Back."
    • "I'm Gonna Lock You Up, Baby!"
    • "Shrimpy Alien."
    • "Well, It's Over."
    • "Full With 2% Fruit Concentrated."
    • "Cuban Guy."
    • "How Do You Like The Samurai Hair?"
    • "A Piece of Fried Bean Curd."
    • "Can You Screw Over Please?"
    • "Oh, It Is Flying!"
    • "Wanna Get An Injection?"
    • "BaayBoooomMaaaan."
    • "Tough Yet Elegant-Looking Jaw."
    • "Make It Look Like Bubbly Kind."
    • "When Spinning Stops."
