  • The rap song in Yung Venuz's Mansion, in which the singer promises to "Shoot your face in the fat" and "Give your cadaver a slap" while assuring you that he'll "Gladly gun down the oldest lady you know"
    • It also features a reggae-esque rapper doing a solo of what sounds like incomprehensible gibberish until you realize those are actual lyrics.
      At Chrismahanukkwaanzaka I hide down your tree
      Jump out, I be gunnin' down your fat family
    • What makes it funnier is that it can be inferred that one of the mutants are doing these back up lyrics.
  • The Icon for the "Throne Butt" upgrade is a picture of the normally-featureless Crystal with a pair of basketball-sized buttcheeks. Also made more hilarious by the fact that it's one of the most powerful upgrades.
  • Yung Venuz's level-start soundfile is an airhorn. While playing as him, you can press "b" to make it blare over and over again.
    • A lot about Y.V., actually. Especially his twitter account.
    • His loading screen tips, which include:
    #verifyvenuz
    "Yung Venuz is so cool"
    B-)
    Guns that hate Texas
    "No popo"
    • Y.V.'s comic series is a gold mine for this kind of stuff.
      "wow y.v he waz sayin he a poet"
      "o i tought he sed im a popo..."
  • Steroids, not to be outdone, has:
    "Steroids could do push-ups forever"
  • Just having certain weapons in your inventory can trigger special loading screen tips:
    Golden Grenade Launcher: "Even the grenades are gold"
    Pop Gun: "How does this thing even work"
    Energy Sword: "Zzzwwoonggg"
    Splinter Gun: "This will hurt"
    Minigun: "Time to rain bullets"
    Triple Machinegun: "Triple Machinegun, so much fun"
    Super Plasma Cannon: "Comedy"
  • One Loading Screen tip gives the helpful advice of "Fire at things until they die".
  • One April Fools day yielded a new playable character. As in, after beating Big Dog, you could play as them. Perhaps the funniest thing was that this didn't feel overpowered because, while Big Dog had homing missiles and a ridiculous amount of health, they needed it all just to stay alive because they were usually hitting themselves and getting shot because they were so huge.
  • When you kill Lil' Hunter, he lets out a comically overblown scream before flying around and exploding. It's even funnier if you're in an open area, as more often than not he'll be flying in a circle for a few seconds before finally hitting something.
  • There is one mod for the game that makes all mutations 10 times more effective, leading to some of the most hilarious carnage. It should be noted that it comes with a disclaimer warning players not to try certain things (like Y.V.'s X10 Throne Butt with Super Plasma Cannon) lest they risk crashing the game.
