Several funny events happen in Klonoa's games and comics:

Examples with their own pages:

Klonoa: Empire of Dreams

  • The Ghazzaland residents greet Klonoa by punching him in the face.
  • The transformed Muzika is terrorizing Priamill... with terrible singing. Admittedly, she sings so loudly that it's disorienting for everyone nearby, but compared to the other cities' plights, the situation is rather goofy.

Klonoa: Phantasy Reverie Series

  • The DLC includes two new costumes for Klonoa: A Joka mask in Door to Phantomile, and a Tat mask in Lunatea's Veil! Wearing these any time Klonoa meets Joka or Tat makes these moments a lot funnier, and they also add a lot of unintentional comedy to the more serious scenes.
  • In honor of the 25th Anniversary of the franchise, Bandai Namco recreated the original Japanese ad for Door to Phantomile showing Klonoa sick in bed. note 

Manga

  • The manga has plenty of funny moments, and is a comedy-based version of an otherwise heartwarming and heart-wrenching series that's actually both done well and is extremely entertaining. The best way to describe it is imagine slapstick and humor similar to the likes of Looney Tunes mixed with the fun-filled and action packed elements of other magical mangas.
    • Volume 1:
      • The first episode is hilarious: Klonoa tries to retrieve a stolen Mailbox from Garlen by infiltrating his fortress, but the fortress is full of cartoonish traps that Klonoa unwittingly activates, Hilarity Ensues. The fact Klonoa accidentally inflated the mailbox and lost it, thus making him a Criminal makes this even funnier.
      • The second chapter has a scene where Klonoa takes off the armor of an Armored Moo... only to discover it's wearing ANOTHER set of armor, with another set of armor beneath it, and another, and another, and another, to the point where the actual Moo is ant sized.
      • The same chapter later has Moo and Klonoa trying to catch said Moo, causing all sorts of havoc and mayhem in the process.
      • C3 has Klonoa trying to fly because an Airborne Mook told him "Heroes have to be able to fly". It's very Wile E. Coyote-esque, as IT has him trying to be a bird, an eagle, then a penguin, then using a propeller cap, a cannon (which somehow ends with the cannon launching away), followed by using a bomb, and then training the muscles in his long ears to help him glide on the wind. And the last one actually does work... at least, until the wind stops. Klonoa's last solution? Inflating himself with a wind bullet so he can float in the air... and it works.
      • C4 has Klonoa and Moo trying to earn money.... but it involves capturing a Boomie for Garlen. Not only does every single Boomie they find explode (ash faces included), but Klonoa then decides to paint Moo to look like a Boomie... only to discover Garlen's Boomie loves to do a variety of crazy stunts. Hilarity Ensues. Oh, and the whole thing was a prank by Garlen just to mess with Klonoa.... and then his house explodes.
      • C5 has Klonoa trying to cure Emperor Jillius of his insomnia, where he later reveals that every night, his castle starts shaking for some mysterious reason. Turns out, it was because of Klonoa's snoring, which was so loud it destroyed the castle.
      • C6 can be summed up as "Guntz mistakes Moo for a criminal. Klonoa tries to stop him. Hilarity Ensues."
      • C7 is based on the Klonoa Beach Vollyball spinoff. Garlen tries to help Klonoa win his tournament (due to the fact that Klonoa really sucks at it) via a remote controller. As the game gets more hectic, Guntz "accidentally" breaks the controller, and things get crazy.
    • Volume 2:
      • Special mentions to the first chapter: "Take Off that Hat" or "Crucial times and a Hat", which in it of itself is hilarious, and as mentioned before, is basically a Japanese version of a Looney Tunes cartoon. The main premise is that Klonoa gets hit on the head with a fridge, but when Lolo tries to stop the bleeding, Klonoa absolutely refuses to remove his hat. The rest of the comic is Lolo, Moo, and Garlen going through several Looney Tunes-like schemes to figure out why the hell Klonoa refuses to remove his trademark hat. The climax, however, has Klonoa turning into a "realistic" version of himself, complete with loud attack commands, more action packed art, and explosions galore! Oh, and the reveal? Klonoa has a massive afro. Yeah.
      • Then we have "Search for the One" (C2), where Klonoa and the gang chase down Popka to find "The One" (Which turns out to be Nahatomb). However, he's actually a Gentle Giant, which Klonoa tries to help him let his evil side out. You all know what's going to happen next. They later find a missle that targets The One and decide to fire it. It aims for Klonoa, revealing the Springs.
      • Then ending is actually a Brick Joke, considering "Take off that Hat" reveals that Klonoa has the mark of The One on his rear.
      • C3 has Klonoa and Guntz try to capture a fish-like robber. Of course, neither of them can swim.
      • C4 can be summed up as "Don't call Pango a turtle".
      • C5, loosely based on Klonoa Heroes, involves a special medal that becomes shinier the more you do good things. Knowing the Klonoa of this comic, it goes as well as you'd expect. In fact, it goes so badly that HIS MEDAL TURNS PITCH BLACK, and remains that way throughout. Poor guy can't catch a break.
      • C6 inolves Garlen and Moo trying to cheer up a suicidally-depressed Klonoa following the ending of the previous chapter (and both of them failing horribly). This in itself isn't the hilarious part; no, things get hilarious when Klonoa decides to go home... where a violent prison escapee has taken refuge. Turns out, Klonoa became so depressed that he cooks the baddy's bazooka, hugs and plays with him like a stuffed animal, and feeds him said bazooka. And to top it all off, he now wants to become a heroine, complete with heels, skirt, and cute eyes. Yes, all of this happened.
      • The final chapter is surprisingly tame, as it has Klonoa attempt to stop a giant monster devouring the town. Outside of the usual goofy antics (Klonoa's head becoming massive, Garlen accidentally sending the giant robots to Egypt, the usual), Klonoa has to pull a Heroic Sacrifice to stop the monster. He survives... but is chased off becuase he didn't pay for the snack he bought.
    • The relationship between Klonoa and Moo; the former being a lovable goof ball who wants to be a hero, and the latter being a short-tempered Straight Man who tries to keep Klonoa in line.
    • Anytime Guntz is involved, Klonoa and Moo will get at least one bullet lodged in their faces.
