Funny / Nancy Drew

Miscellaneous

• All of the phone conversations you can have with Nancy's friends are very funny.
  • Heck, imagining all the screwball things Bess and George get up to while Nancy's off solving mysteries can be hilarious, especially as a contrast to the darker games.
  • The Running Gag of Frank and Joe getting stuck with cases they found annoying and envying Nancy's cases, was pretty amusing too.
• Any of the "Good News, Bad News" segments found in later games.
  • Many of the game-over scenarios were also rather twisted.
• The occasional "Blooper" stingers after the end credits.
• Some of the conversations are unintentionally hilarious. Once a conversation ends, a new topic appears and the transition into it is a bit jarring.
• "It's locked."

Secrets Can Kill

• In the original version, if you call Eloise, you get to hear her answering machine message, where she is trying to figure out how to use the answering machine.
• Also, you can call Jake's locker combination. Seriously. And you get a "Hello, this is Jake's locker," as if the locker is sentient or something.

Stay Tuned for Danger

• Prop master of DEATH!
• Rick and Mattie's acting. How are they both acclaimed actors, again?

Message in a Haunted Mansion

• The culprit's parting words if you fail to stop them.
  "So long, losers!"
• If you untie the chandelier and the villain is not underneath...
  Bess: Just don't vandalize the next house you stay in, okay?
  George: Especially if it's ours!
• Nancy's Dull Surprise at seeing a fire starting in the living room. Her friend's house is about to burn to the ground, and she's acting like she's watching paint dry. She doesn't even sound that upset if the fire spreads everywhere.
  Nancy: Fire!

Treasure in a Royal Tower

• Hotchkiss: I'm usually not much of a meat-eater, but...very well: 50 drumsticks, please. Chicken, that is. Cluck. Cluck.
  • On that note, all of Hotchkiss's video recordings:
  Hotchkiss: Ooooooh look, a peephole.
  Hotchkiss: .....shall I peep?
  Hotchkiss: OH LA LA, I DO BELIEVE I SHALL PEEP!
  Hotchkiss: Where's my medallion? It fits! HIGH-FIVE TEAM HOTCHKISS!
• "Hello, dead end, my name's Nancy Drew."
• One unintentionally funny moment happens during one playthrough. Right after getting stuck in the elevator, this happens.
  Dexter: Did you see I fixed your radiator?
  Nancy: I was in the elevator and it got stuck between floors!

The Final Scene

• You can find a bottle marked "Prograin: Extra strength hair treatment for men. Results may occur eventually." Becomes a Chekhov's Gun for the series.
• Simone's nonchalant comment about Nancy climbing through her wardrobe.
  "I may have to cut this short, Hal. Someone just climbed out of my wardrobe."
• Some of Nancy's snappier dialogue is really quite hilarious.
  "Don't 'hey you' me, Brady, you rotten fraud."
  "Sounds like an invitation to the swamp of no return!"
• On the third day, Nicolas was so bored being in the lobby that he resorted to drawing on Brady’s cardboard cutout.
• When you flip through Brady’s self-help book, there will be a paper that Brady drew on. In the drawing, he depicts himself with a ponytail and being the captain of a ship and Simone having gone overboard.

The Secret of the Scarlet Hand

• The debut of Sonny Joon's screwy mindset and doodles, particularly the ones of his co-workers.
• If you drop the calendar stones and get a Second Chance, the newspaper headline:
  "GIRL SLEUTH DROPS, BREAKS PRICELESS RELIC"
  "It was heavier than it looked," the detective commented.
  "She's grounded for five years," says her father, Carson Drew.

Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake

• This exchange between Red and Nancy:
  Nancy: You're not a people person, are you?
  Red: I'm here to see birds, not people!
• The post-it that warns you about the rotting floorboards can only be accessed by moving Nancy over to the spot where the floorboards are rotted through.
• You get a Public Service Announcement if you don't put out the fire in the shed and burn down the forest.
  Ranger Stinque Sez: "Hey, kids! Remember: After you've been knocked out, tied up, and left in a burning shed, be sure to put out the fire!"
  • This message is brought to you by The Moon Lake State Park Ranger Association.

The Haunted Carousel

• Harlan: "Sorry, I don't feel like talking right now; my back's kinda sore. Probably because someone just got done stabbing me there."
• Leave the iron in the hotel room on and it'll burn down the hotel.
  • This is funnier from the fact that the entire hotel burned down while you just walked to the park, which is right next door to the hotel, somehow without you noticing the smoke or flames. And the fact that that was an extremely fast fire investigation. Also, Paula seems mildly annoyed with Nancy instead of furious.
• You can easily fall off the carousel and go to the hospital trying to play a game intended for children.

Danger on Deception Island

• When you describe the fabled Cadborosaurus to The Hardy Boys:
  Frank: What does it look like?
  Nancy: Like a very long, fat snake with flippers, a head shaped like a horse's, and a back that humps when it swims.
  Joe: That pretty much describes everyone you've ever dated, doesn't it, Frank?
• Bess begins watching a cooking show with an attractive host, and tries to recreate his recipes - mostly burning them, even funnier, after ruining yet another dish, George says "Oh, no! She wrecked her roux!" in the most melodramatic, sarcastic tone ever.
• Come on, it's just fun to poison Katie or yourself. What other game lets you feed someone an ancient mayonnaise-Koko Kringles Ice Cream-jellyfish-mustard-raw-meat-baking soda-peanut butter-tomato sandwich on bad bread?
  • What's even more hilarious is watching a 10-year-old play and be completely unaware that the game came out much later than 1994, and wonder how the heck the sandwich he/she made poisoned Katie.
  • The look on Katie's face after eating the extremely disgusting sandwich is worth poisoning her.
  • Given that the game only checks for the bad ingredients and not a combination of ingredients that are absolutely disgusting when combined together, watch as Katie scarfs down a peanut butter, hot sauce, lettuce, ice cream, ketchup, mustard, tomato, jelly, and lettuce sandwich.
  • The fact that you can make an ice cream sandwich. No comments about it melting or being too thawed.
  • During the ensuing phone call of poisoning Kate, Bess tells Nancy to "go easy on the salmonella".
• The message after Nancy gets hit on the head with a brick is downright hilarious in a pretty twisted way.

Secret of Shadow Ranch

• Bess: "You're there investigating phantom horses, and what are we doing? A big fat nothing! That does it, George. We're suing the airline."
  • Which becomes a Running Gag, as Bess threatens to sue more and more targets - the airline, multiple airports, the national weather service... - every time Nancy calls back to find the cousins' flight has been held up again.
• Shorty's attempt to yodel. Shortly after this, he storms off muttering his plan to become a gazillionaire.
  • Keep an eye on Dave during that scene. His grimace while Shorty yodels is amusingly pained, and when Tex storms off in a huff, Dave's body language suggests he's trying hard not to burst out laughing at both his fellow cowboys.
• The fact that picking underripe vegetables twice can get you kicked off the ranch.
• Intentionally screw up the birthday cake and blow up the kitchen.
  Bet: So what you're saying is, you destroyed my oven, severely damaged my kitchen, and caused my cook to quit?
  Nancy: Uh...yeah.
  Ed: Sounds like three strikes to me.
  Bet: I'm going to have to agree. So, as they say in baseball...Nancy? You're out.

The Curse of Blackmoor Manor

• Half of Loulou's lines could count. Especially when you feed her poisoned cake, and she spouts famous movie quotes as she dies.
• Inadvertently scaring off Nigel Mookerjee by moving the statue of Mercury in the library.
• If you translate Alan's coat-of-arms motto from Latin, you find that it's an in-joke for computer programmers: "Garbage Out".
• Teeters into Black Comedy territory, but Nancy getting eaten by the giant plant is surprisingly amusing.
  • Even more hilarious if Mrs. Drake is there next to her, and does nothing.

Secret of the Old Clock

• Delivering a second telegram to the Observatory yields this dialogue.
  Nancy: Hello, Dr. Bob. I've got a telegram for Professor Randall.
  Dr. Bob: I'll get it to him later. As you can see, he's a little busy at the moment.
  Nancy: What's he doing up there?
  Dr. Bob: He's undertaking the very delicate task of cleaning the lens-
  Professor Randall: Uh oh.
  (something crashes offscreen)
  Dr. Bob: Randall, what have you done?!
  • While delivering a third, you can hear Woody sweeping up glass in the background.
  • The fifth? "Dr. Bob, if Professor Randall still works here, I've got another telegram for him."
  • And then:
  Nancy: Hi, Doctor Bob. Woody got another telegram.
  Dr. Bob: I'll take care of it. Right now I must make sure Randall seats this new lens properly. [to Randall] I said, carefully rotate it about three degrees to the left-
  Randall: Uh oh.
  (something crashes offscreen)
  Dr. Bob: Randall?!
• The orphanage matron shouting to a child offscreen, "Of course it tastes bad, Clarence! It's a pinecone!"

The Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon

• Joe is able to cause of fit of giggles with one word.
  "Cheeseburger."
  • About Hurley's letter from Samuel Clemens:
  Joe: It's not like it was written by Mark Twain or anything. (beat) What?
• In your first meeting with Tino, he browbeats you into listening to a long, boastful story about arrests he's made. Both of your replies are delightfully snarky:
  "I heard all they had was a knife from a carry-out chicken place."
  "I heard they stopped because you accidentally rear-ended them."
• Some of the cockamamie tangents that the grandson of Hurley's engineer wanders onto, if Frank's slow about prepping burgers, easily justify waiting to ring the "order up!" bell until his rambling runs down. The way his amusingly-stereotypical "creaky old geezer" voice still calls his father "daddy" adds to the humor.

Danger by Design

• Nancy's attempts to say "Traquenard" are...nothing like French.
• If you fail to defuse the paint bomb in time, it will go off when Minette opens the door. Cue a Spinning Newspaper headlined "Big Bang Ends Fashion Design Internship."
  American teen detective Nancy Drew bungled her attempt to defuse a bomb in fashion phenom Minette's House of Design, resulting in an explosion of yellow paint which completely destroyed Minette's designs for her spring collection. "I guess those diodes were a little more complicated than I thought," mused the paint-covered sleuth.
  Several bystanders were seen running away in fright upon witnessing a masked figure emerging from the moulin screaming at the top of her lungs. Area residents were quick to point out that the figure was Minette acting her usual self, and that her screams-though "a little more ear-splitting than usual"-weren't as bad as when her assistant failed to make her a proper cup of tea or when the pizza delivery arrived 30 seconds late.
  "Nothing can compare to the Christmas of '04 when another intern had 200 boxes of Koko Kringles delivered to the studio. I thought air raid sirens were going off until I realized World War II had ended." Despite the property damage, Minette and the American sleuth were essentially unharmed, although a few emergency personnel were taken to the nearest hospital after suffering temporary hearing loss. Earplugs were quickly handed out to investigators on the scene.
• If you got caught by the tunnel police, one of the Spinning Newspaper headlines is "Catacomb Cops Arrest Teenage Trespasser: Daughter of Prominent American Attorney Sent Home Just As Lost Luggage Arrives".
  • A different headline will read "American Teenager Captured in Catacombs: 'You mean this isn't the way to the Eiffel Tower?' Youth Asks; Police Suspicious".
  • Or: "Tunnel Police Nab Titan-Haired Trespasser: Assistant Fashion Designer Says She Got Lost, Blames Poor Sense of Direction on Job Stress"
• You get a Spinning Newspaper if you get caught in the underwater fan: "Diver Sucked Down Drain, Ejected from Fountain: Dared Teen Wearing Jacques Cousteau Wetsuit Splashes Down as Startled Parkgoers Run for Cover". In the right-hand corner, a story about an anvil falling from the 20th floor of a building.

The Creature of Kapu Cave

• When Ned points out that you are traipsing around the jungle studying bugs for free while the Hardy Boys are getting paid to hang out at the beach.
  Ned: Nancy, if you're wondering what that thing you're holding is? It's the short end of the stick.

White Wolf of Icicle Creek

• If you've played enough of the series to understand the Continuity Nods, giving Mystico the wrong answers to his questions is very funny. "So, Nancy Drew, what secrets from the beyond do you seek?"
  • A hint: "Ack! What do you think I am? An insurance salesman? A pair of underage detectives? A starstruck teenager? A washed-up police officer? An elderly housekeeper? A parrot?"
  • A reason for being: "Ack! Who do you think I am? A librarian? A witless actress? A retired schoolteacher? The hapless owner of a ski lodge? A kidnapped teenage reporter? A ne'er do well curator? A freaked-out homeowner? An amusement park owner? A tour operator? A ranch owner? A neighbor? A distant friend? A clueless socialite? A worried investor? An entomologist?"
  • Some spice in my life: ^note (The culprits who cause the mysteries - be careful of spoilers) "Ack! Who do you think I am? A gun-toting thug? A washed-up actor? An antique dealer? A diamond thief? An old man? An art aficionado? A hillbilly? An art director? A whale lover? A flannel-wearing cuisiner? A sniveling brat? A quack? A social climber? A flaneuse? A two-headed monster?"
• Among the victims you interview is an overwrought mother. At the end of the call, you try to reassure her...but this only makes the mother remember yet another chore she'd forgotten to do.
• "I fired. And I missed. And then I fired again. And then I missed again."

The Legend of the Crystal Skull

• You can eat Renee's Koko Kringle bars until you get sick to your stomach.
• Bess's audible reactions to sniffing the hoodoo powders at Zeke's, from bawling her head off to little-girlish giggles.
• If Bess activates the emergency exit alarm too early, she and Nancy will talk about the police and the fire department showing up at Lamont's store.
  Bess: This one fireman was kinda cute, though.
  Nancy: I don't want to hear about it.
  Bess: He gets off duty soon.
  Nancy: Forget about it.
  Bess: (sing-song) He might have a brother.
  (Nancy hangs up)

The Phantom of Venice

• The money-earning minigame: you must don a catsuit and mime various gestures in front of a live audience.
• It's really only applicable if you're a fan of Doctor Who but the main villain being called Il Dottore (the Doctor) is quite amusing.
• This "Good News, Bad News" when you get caught snooping in Fango's office:
  The Good News: The GdiF put up your bail.
  The Bad News: You have to be smuggled out of the country dressed as a goat herder. Baahhh!
  • Alternately:
  The Good News: You only spent half a day in jail.
  The Bad News: You spent the other half on the phone getting chewed out (and fired) by Prudence Rutherford."

The Haunting of Castle Malloy

• The sheep-shearing minigame will often result in mohawked or neon-green sheep.
• This "Good News, Bad News" if Nancy falls off a cliff:
  The Good News: Your lantern magically turned into a parasail and you floated down to the rocks below.
  The Bad News: Just kidding. It turned into an anvil made by ACME. Beep-beep!
• The Culprit themselves is so ridiculous that just describing them is funny: ...a 70-year-old feral woman flying around on a jet pack. Yes. Really.

Ransom of the Seven Ships

• Coucou's idle dialogue includes conversations she overheard from other tourists, and a lot of tense scenes happen in Coucou's room. So George can have just finished talking about stalkers when the parrot squawks, "Teeny! Stop teasing your sister!"
• Nancy's reaction to failing the hourglass puzzle, right before a large, pointy rock falls on her.
  Nancy: I think I made a boo boo.
• When Johnny reveals himself to be Dwayne Powers, Nancy tries to remember his name. All the while, Dwayne looks proud of his “dramatic reveal” until Nancy’s struggle to remember him annoys him and he angrily reminds her who he is.

Warnings at Waverly Academy

• Some of the orders Nancy gets at the snack bar are so bizarrely funny to think about that they've become an in-joke for fans. Who orders a sandwich with nothing on it but two pieces of lettuce?
• At the end of the game, when Nancy solves the final puzzle and goes after the Black Cat...
  Mel: You just entered my room through the wall! I want an explanation!

Trail of the Twister

• Just being able to inflict multi-car pileups when driving with no consequences, until you get a "Good News/Bad News" screen.
• Frosty's scream upon seeing the mice. Debbie's utterly deadpan response makes it even funnier.

Shadow at the Water's Edge

• The Reveal that Kasumi deliberately hid her will so that only her two daughters could find it...and only if they worked together. This was a woman who had to mediate a lot of sibling fights.

The Captive Curse

Nancy: How's Joe?

Frank: He's great. He says hi. Oh, also he wanted me to tell you something, hang on I had him write it down because it was too weird to remember... There we go, 'Dear Nancy Drew', he used your last name for some reason. 'I am glad that you and Ned are back together. You go together like peanut butter and jelly. When you're apart, it's like peanut butter and sadness. Or jelly and uncomfortable silences. Either way, you're looking at a sandwich that no one wants, and probably no one wants to buy it ever.'

Nancy: That sounds very much like Joe.

Frank: Oh you wish that was the end of the note. It goes on: 'A world where Ned and Nancy are not together is as disturbing as it is dangerous to the quantum makeup of our interstellar plant of reality-' You know what, I'm just going to stop reading there.

• A couple of the outtakes have some humorous Shout Outs
  Flashback Monster: Doo doo doo do-do-do! Puttin' on the ritz!

  Nancy: Hello? Hello? Open up, please!
  Lukas: No thank you! We already have one!
  Nancy: What?
  Lukas: What is your name?
  Nancy: Nancy Drew.
  Lukas: What is your quest?
  Nancy: My quest?
  Lukas: What is your favorite color?
  Nancy: Can I talk to someone else about coming in?
  Lukas: No!
• All three of the hotline messages in the outtakes, which essentially make the monster sound more like a Punch-Clock Villain or Affably Evil than anything.
• Karl won't cancel the upcoming festival because he's already paid for its fancy centerpiece cake.
• One of the messages that comes up if Nancy falls through a trap door.
  "Stay tuned for the following public service announcement brought to you by the trap-door awareness society. Please don't jump down trap doors for no reason."

Alibi in Ashes

• Bess lamenting her overindulgence in ice cream at the end of Alibi. She's watching a suspect at the ice cream store, and to keep her cover up, she had to keep ordering ice cream. All through the day. It's even funnier if you never ate ice cream when playing as her.
• If Ned gets caught rummaging through Alexei's trunk, one of his reactions is a Girly Scream.
• When Brenda is arrested, she tries to make a break for it, running on- and off-screen while ranting about how she can ruin everyone - just before she trips and falls flat on her face. On top of that, the officer who arrested her just resignedly walks after her when she does.

Tomb of the Lost Queen

• Hotchkiss, as always, is full of these.

The Deadly Device

• The credits scene where Frank calls and- having discovered the culprit's true identity and fearing for her life- makes a desperate confession of love to Nancy over the phone...only to be cut off by the answering machine. And later, his sheepish retraction of said confession.
• When you're allowed to snoop in Mason's area, you can troll him by messing with his neatly organized pencils, markers, paperclips, and notepads.
• Deirdre: Hey you know, you should volunteer at neurological study places, because you have been knocked out a lot, my friend.
  Nancy: I'll keep that in mind.
  Deirdre: Maybe not the safest place to keep it in your case.
• In The Deadly Device, you can ask Ryan to help distract Victor so you can snoop in his office by getting him to yell at her. After a few times of this, she draws a graph of how it's negatively affecting her personal well-being, complete with doodling in the margins that involve a frowny face, a dog on a skateboard, and a dragon.
  • Hell, just Ryan in general. Try asking her for a second gummy bear.
  • Ryan’s hatred of the robot cat. When asked why she hid the parts, her response is to claim “self-defense”.

Ghost of Thornton Hall

• Asking Wade about his Dark and Troubled Past.
  Nancy: Is it true that you have a questionable past?
  Wade: You asking if I really went to jail? Yes. I advise against it.
  Nancy: Why not?
  Wade: It's not a fun place and they don't let you leave.
• Despite the fact that it's a very dark game in general, the messages on Jessalyn's phone are really funny - mostly because Clara's autocorrect is acting up:
  Clara: did y
  Clara: ou get the INVERTEBRATES^note She's talking about invitations
  Jessalyn: What?
  Clara: INVERTEBRATES
  Jessalyn: Mom... that does not clarify things.
  Clara: INVERTEBRATES!!!!
  Jessalyn: Yes?
  Clara: NO INVERTEBRATES!!!!
  Jessalyn: I'll make a note of that. No invertebrates.
  Clara: I am sending this PHOTOGRAPH BACKWARDS!@!!!
  Jessalyn: Ok. I hope that works out for you.
  Clara: I am typing slowly, and angrily.
• Before they start shifting into Nightmare Fuel, Jessalyn's phone recordings are very funny.
  Addison: Remember when Elizabeth got married and we all watched romcoms and ate caramel corn? I was just thinking, like at no point that evening was I like, "I'll die here!" It just didn't come up.
• Harper.
  Jessalyn: I'd been told my whole life that Harper was crazy.
  Harper: What a coincidence. Me too!
• In the game's finale, the eponymous mansion catches fire. Nancy's recorded even this in her journal, despite ostensibly running for her life.
  House on fire. Pen very hot.
• The Easter Egg conversation you can have while making Harper a cart in the finale.
  Ned: Hi, Nancy!
  Nancy: [casually] Thornton Hall's on fire.
  Ned: Are you calling me from inside of a burning house again?
  Nancy: [evasively] Maybe.
  Bess: Nancy! We have talked about this!
  Nancy: [annoyed] Alright, alright, I'll get off the phone.

The Silent Spy

• Nancy can find Samantha Quick's passport in Zoe Wolfe's hotel room, revealing that "Samantha" is one of Zoe's aliases.
  Zoe: Yes! I have been meaning to tell you about this. You don't steal someone's alias. That is so rude.
• "I'm sorry I burgled your house."
• Moira's sarcastic tirade about old people.
• Alec talking with Nancy about her luggage.
  Alec: I gotta say, if you're so attached to your mom's jeans, why'd you take them on an international flight?
  Nancy: Those are mine.
  (Awkward silence)
  Alec: Oh.
  ...
  Alec: You look nice today, he said with a hopeful smile.
• "Sheep!"
• At the end, Carson sits down to tell Nancy how he met her mother.
  "Yeah, you'd better sit tight. This'll take about nine seasons..."
  Carson: You remember that filing cabinet you picked?
  Nancy: Which one?
  Carson: ...I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

The Shattered Medallion

• An injured George falling asleep in the middle of talking to you.
• Sonny Joon. Every single thing he says.
  Sonny Joon: You've been a member for a few years now.
  Nancy Drew: Do most of the members [of S.P.I.E.D.] not know they're members?
  Soony Joon: Yeah, that's, like, item number one on the list of things to fix.
  Nancy Drew: What are the benefits of membership?
  Sonny Joon: Surprises. Like this one: Surprise! Your life is dangerous now! (Beat) ...I can make you a badge if you want.
  • Nancy asks if he has any real proof aliens exist.
  Joon: Aside from this awesome belt I had made?
  Nancy: Yes. Aside from the belt.
• Leena declaring herself a Pacific Run 'superfan'.
  Nancy: Really? You seem a bit...smart.
  Leena: I'm smart all day. At night, give me someone falling down and a bag of popcorn.
• The show announcer's gradual descent into frustrated snarking.

Labyrinth Of Lies

• In the closing letter, Nancy cheerfully tells Ned that she's coming to kidnap him and to keep his windows open. ^note  It's not what you think: She's planning Spring Break with him.
• This entry in Nancy's diary:
  Locked tablet entries? This looks like a job for Nancy "One Woman NSA" Drew.
• Grigor provides a good deal of comedy by being the game's Deadpan Snarker; the letter he writes at the end of the game is both hilarious due to the idle tone it's written in, and sad because he's talking about how Thanos is going to murder him.
• Some of the bickering that the cast members engage in during their rehearsals is fairly amusing if you listen to the recordings, not least because Xenia's so preachy about others' godawful performances (especially Niobe’s, which really is bad), while refusing to acknowledge that the actual script is lame too.
• After Nancy traps Thanos in the Underworld cell, the player can make her unlock it.
  Nancy: Why did I do that?!

Sea of Darkness

• "Nothing says I love you like a new murder tool."
  • Interestingly enough, that quote comes in handy. During this game, it's revealed that Nancy forgot her anniversary with Ned. Deciding to make it up to him, she decides to buy him a gift from the Culture Center's gift shop. One of the options is an "Original Replica" Viking Sword. If you save up and buy the sword (which isn't cheap), the ending letter mentions how much Ned absolutely loves it, saying he takes it everywhere: to parties, football practice, even to shower.
• In her journal, Nancy ponders one of the series' greatest mysteries:
  Why aren't I getting paid for this?...Why don't I ever get paid?
• A friend's utterly cavalier response to Dagny's breakup with her girlfriend:
  Terribly, terribly sorry to hear that. Condolences, plenty of fish in the sea, single and ready to mingle, no time like the present, you're an absolute gem, et cetera!
• Dagny realizing what Gunnar's nickname for her means.
  I hate this town.
• Dagny asks Nancy her opinion on the treasure's rightful owner. One of the options?
  Nancy: Give it to me!
• Nancy's kleptomania becomes increasingly blatant:
  "I don't know whose boat this is, but I'll just...borrow it for a little while."
• Nancy (obviously) lies to protect someone's feelings, prompting Dagny to reply sarcastically:
  "Ooh, I like you. Tell me my hair looks fab."
• Nancy repairs Dagny's heater which does not look like a wiring puzzle at all. Upon completion, Nancy says "That was the strangest wiring I've ever seen."

Midnight in Salem

• When we first meet Judge Danforth, he locked himself in his office! He tells Nancy that Alicia Cole has a spare key but when you talk to her, she reveals that she gave the key to Danforth, which he apparently forgot about! Nancy has to pick the lock in order to get him out! Luckily, she had lots of practice in lock picking.
• One of the ways to die in the game? When you are escorting Mei, just wait in the tunnels while they flood. Mei will literally stand there scowling at you while it fills up with water. What's more, at a certain level she will even say "Drowning!" while coughing.

The Movie

• Chief McGinnis referring to Nancy as his "best man". Carson's incredulous expression sells it.
• Ned's insecurity about his relationship with Nancy is hilarious, especially given the only "competition" he gets while she's away is a kid with a hopeless Precocious Crush.
  (after Nancy informs him a certain star can't steal her away because "he's not my type") You have a type?!
• Nancy's awful attempts to cover up that she picked the vacation home for herself and her father based on a mystery.
• When the local Alpha Bitch "befriends" Nancy and takes her to a boutique for a makeover, she talks about Nancy being a nearly hopeless case, only to have the employee start reassuring her that her outfit just needs a little work and when Nancy's outfit is pointed out, the employee can't say enough good about it, causing the Alpha Bitch to seethe.
• When Nancy meets Corky, the brother of the Alpha Bitch, he informs her, "She's my sister but I also think she might be the Devil."
• At Nancy's Wild Teen Party, one of the guests reacts violently to the peanut butter cookie her boyfriend had just eaten and Nancy performs medical assistance, while explaining exactly what qualifications one needs to do so. Ned's eyes go wide and Corky faints.
  • Said guest was the best friend of the Alpha Bitch and the latter is more impressed with Nancy "acting normal" than saving a life.
  • Carson is actively thrilled that Nancy got busted for a Wild Teen Party because that's a normal teenage thing to do!
• Nancy excusing herself to get rid of a bomb planted on her car, which Inga seems to take as a metaphor for her relationship with Ned.
  Inga: No kidding, love is a battlefield.
  • After it blows up half the street, Nancy rushes back to her car to where Inga and Trisha are still standing, apparently unfazed by the blast.
    Inga: Oh, so you meant literally a bomb.
• During the car chase, it turns out Corky got in the car because he thought they were running away from the people who have just tried to kill him and Nancy.
  • "It really gets to me when someone tries to kill me. It's so rude!"
• After someone tries to run down Nancy and Corky:
  Nancy: I wonder who tried to kill us.
  Corky: Yeah, I'm wondering that, too. In fact, I'm kinda freaking out about it.
