Funny / LEGO City Undercover

• The intro where Chase arrives back at the city through a ship. Captain Bluffbeard's negligence to the people on and around the ship is just hilarious: a couple imitating Titanic falls overboard ("My love will go on!), his dancing ship crew also fall overboard (said crew was dancing to the radio), and he "smoothly" parks his ship at the docks at the expense of shipwrecking boats and drowning several people behind.
  • Don't forget scraping the side of the boat against the leg of Auburn Bay Bridge.
  Cpt. Bluffbeard: "That'll buff right out!"
• (jumping for the freefall in Bluebell Mines) I WASN'T READY!!!!
  • (after passing an inexplicably placed giant deadly-sharp metal fan) WHY WAS THAT EVEN THERE?
  • After hitting Chase's head against the wooden planks 3 times. I think I got a concussion! What's my name again?!
  • And immediately after the freefall, a worker asks Chase, "You do realize there's an elevator, right?"
    Chase: No.
  • As Chase mounts the diving board for the big jump, if the player hesitates to initiate the jump Chase says, "Okay, three... two... one... Go!" And if you hesitate further, "And go..." And still again: "...aaaaaannnnnd go." Then he starts trying to psyche himself up for the jump: "C'mon, you can do this... It's really not that deep... Look, I can see the bottom. No, that's just murky darkness hiding a horrible and unpleasant death..." etc.
• The various idle comments Chase can overhear in the Police Station:
  Bea Heckerson: "I hope the Chief notices that I changed my hair today. It'll make being bald all of past week worthwhile!"
  Officer: "... so until we find the camera we have to take mug-shots by photocopying people's faces? Well, okay..."
  Officer: "... let's see - cause of accident: Culprit was attempting to see how long they could drive with their eyes closed. Immediately reversed through their house's front window and come to rest in their kitchen."
  • In the basement of the police station, you can find a man pumping iron who says "I've been doing this for months, and my arm is still the same size. What gives?"
• When Chase and Frank are sent to Farmer Hayes to help find his pigs, they travel there on horseback. Unfortunately, Frank managed to miss an important detail when mounting his steed. Hilarity Ensues.
  Frank: Cha-ase? My horse is stuck in reverse! And it doesn't have a head! And it has a really weird-looking butt!
  Chase: You're sat facing backwards, Frank!
  Frank: Oh...! That'd explain why he didn't like it when I fed him that apple.
• The Court Guard getting pooped on by a bird.
• AHHHH! FRENCH PARROTS!
• The briefing room scene, which contains a smattering of references to cop shows:
  • "Yeah I know what you're thinking. Did I have six shots, or was it only five? Well..." "Okay, that's enough coffee for you!"
    • And later, Harry is reaching out for the coffee mug.
• When you unlock the Audio Scanner, you can listen in on other conversations you're not supposed to. Examples include:
  • An artist yelling at the subject of his portrait... his dog.
  • A guy ordering pizza from his mom.
  • A woman panicking about losing something before her husband tells her to calm down and retrace her steps. She remembers leaving them in her car truck, then on a hatstand, and it's only when she remembers leaving them in the cupboard and checking on it are we revealed what she was trying to find: Her son and daughter.
  • A waiter at a tea house cheerfully lists off a few of the teas they serve. When his customer orders a black coffee, he suddenly screams at him, "GET OUT!"
  • For that matter, the gang conversations that you're "supposed" to listen to can also be funny. The one at Albatross Island comes to mind, where a prisoner convinces another one to start a riot all because of a badly prepared breakfast. Others include a group of paranoid men who think there are aliens in a sawmill and a gang who want to damage the Garden of Peace and Tranquility in Pagoda because the leader hates trees.
• The whole of "Special Assignment 2 - Trouble in Stir".
  Blue: (inner monologue) I have no idea what those two Italian ladies were saying that day. I also don't know why those guys were dancing, and how one got a saucepan on his head. There is still much I don't know.
  Blue (when asked if he was "free, man?") No! No, I am not Freeman. His lawyers might be watchin'.
• After Blue smuggles a car in a giant cake for Heywood, a fellow prisoner:
  Blue: What's the matter, Heywood? Don't you like your new car?
  Heywood: Car?! (groans and burps out a tire) Ugh... (makes a car alarm chirp)
• Studski and Clutch. That is all.
  Studski: (regarding Chase's purple cowboy disguise) They belong to our friend Huggy. He has no sense of personal space.
  • When begin discussing how Chan is going to get information out of Natalia.
    Studski: Like giving her [Natalia] ice cream?
    Chase: What? He's not going to bribe her, Studski.
    Studski: No, I mean I get really bad ice cream headaches. I'd tell you anything if you threaten me with it. Especially mint-chocolate. Blech!
    Clutch: Right...or they could make her drink lots of soda pop and she'd get trapped wind because ladies can't burp in public.
    Studski: Oh, my mom does that all the time.
    Clutch: Your mom ain't no lady.
    Studski: Oh! I thought of another one! They could—
    Chase: Alright! That really isn't helping!
• The narrations for the exhibits in the Lego City Museum.
  "This oil derrick is over a hundred years old. Oil derricks are named after their inventor: John Oil."
  "This is the largest known silver LEGO ingot found in the Bluebell Mine. "Discovered" by Silas Fletcher when it fell on top of him. It was kindly donated to the museum by his next of kin."
  "This steam locomotive was unveiled at the opening of LEGO City's very first train station. It wasn't used until two years later when a second station was finally built."
  "This pirate ship was painstakingly reconstructed from 843 pieces dredged up from the bottom of the ocean. There were quite a lot of bits... left over, so it probably wasn't a pirate ship...before."
  "Professor Patrick Palmer was the founder of Apollo Island. A scientist since he was eight, it took him many years to be taken seriously, as his pointy hair and maniacal laugh led everyone to believe he was either mad, evil, or both."
  "This diorama depicts the gathering of moon rocks, once thought to be an exciting new building material as strong as regular rocks but six times lighter. Until someone pointed out they'd been weighing them on the moon."
• The "Nitrous for All" Red Brick cheat works on every land vehicle, including those without engines like Segways, bicycles and wheelchairs. You can see where this is going.
• Chase's Plumb-Fu Training Montage. Apparently, Plumb-Fu includes tickling, spanking, and mid-air freeze frames.
  Chase: "I Know Kung Fu... and... plumbing?"
• When Chase is ziplining, he uses something appropriate to his costume to support himself. In his police uniform he uses a set of handcuffs, as a robber he uses the crowbar, etc. But what does he use in his civilian getup? A banana.
• Chase's visit to Pappalardo's Ice Cream Parlour is one giant Goodfellas Shout-Out rife with hilarity.
  • The first gangster Chase meets is Tony One-Time. He's called that because he says everything one time. He looks at Chase and says "Hey." Chase then looks back at him and he looks like he can't think of anything else to say.
  • Another gangster Chase meets is called Lucky Pete. As he waves to Chase, he loses his balance and falls down the stairs...and then finds a penny at the bottom.
  • On the second floor, Chase meets the Crayfish Twins, a pair of literal live crayfish. A waitress serves them a plate of cooked crayfish, enraging the twins.
    Waitress: Sorry! Wrong table!
  • He also meets Mikey Spoilers, who tells you that you can get a secret item when you get to the space centre.
  • This all culminates in an abridged recreation of the "Funny how?" scene from Goodfellas with Vinny berating one of his minions before turning around to reveal... that he is dressed like a clown (it's his son's birthday).
• After Frank Honey crashes the M.O.V. Police truck he was delivering:
  Mayor Gleeson: Dunby...!
  Chief Dunby: Honey...!
  Frank: Waffles...! What are we doing...?
• Farmer Hayes' smelly smelly spare overalls. Shortly after donning said overalls...
  Chase: Say, these don't smell so bad... [Beat] No, wait, there. It just hit me.
  • Even better: After acquiring the farmer disguise, when roaming around the city you can occasionally hear passersby commenting "Ew, what's that smell?" Even if you're not currently wearing that disguise! Apparently, the overalls smell so bad that not even Hammerspace can contain or suppress the stench!
• The 2017 rerelease includes several LEGO City postcards that are shown before the title screen is loaded. One of these is for the "Complete Swine Foundation" with an asterisk stating that it's "a Forrest Blackwell charity/tax evasion fund."
• During "Special Assignment 6 - Astronaughty", Chase asks Ellie how to get the moon buggy out of the rocket. Ellie explains how it works and then reveals she got the information off the internet.
• While Albert Spindlerouter is instructing Chase on how to climb the building under construction:
  Now, put out the fire and...wait a minute. Why is the building even on fire?! Which stupid set the building on fire?!
• After stealing a crane from the construction site, Chase meets up with a member of Rex's gang to hand it off, and needs to disguise himself as a fellow gang member, using a cardboard box to hide his face. The gang member is fooled, even as Chase draws more facial expressions on the box during their conversation. As the gang member drives away in the crane, Chase remarks that he's great at disguises...only to reveal the gang member is smashing the crane into buildings and complaining that he left his glasses at home.
