Funny / Octodad

• Most of the gameplay in general, seeing as how you are attempting to control a character with no bone structure.
• Many of the shout outs in the grocery store.
• The air hockey player in the Amazon Arcade in the sequel. He takes air hockey so seriously that defeating him causes to break down in noisy tears.
• Anytime you have to try to walk over bananas/slippery surfaces.
• "You think one feeble gnome can defeat me, octop- AHHH! SECOND GNOME!"
• Co-op mode. Thanks to Exact Words, it forces cooperation by dividing the controls between multiple players.
  • There's also an option to have the limbs each player controls change after each completed objective.
• The revelation that Stacy knew Octodad was an octopus the entire time, but had never said anything because she thought it was common knowledge.
  Stacy: Nobody else knew?
  • Why is this so funny? Because up to this point, Stacy had repeatedly shown herself to be the typical Cloudcuckoolander little girl of the family, and somehow she's the one to figure it all out and is baffled by the fact that nobody else had a clue or is even bothered by it.
  • And immediately afterwards, she gets probably the best line in the game:
  Fujimoto: YOU SEE! HE IS OCTOPUS! I NOT CRAZY!
  Tommy: Awesome!
  Stacy: Just because you're right doesn't mean you're not crazy.
• The Expository Theme Tune, to some people. "Octodaaaaad, nobody suspects a thing! Octodaaaaaaaad, Octodad!"
• This line while grilling burgers:
  Tommy: Dad, are hamburgers really made from ham?
  Octodad: *curt explanation blub*
  Tommy: Oh...What if they were made from PONIES?!
  Stacy: *horrified shriek*
• "The endangered fish are in danger!"
• Dadliest Catch's tutorial, Wedding Bells. After clearing the table, and pulling off the cushions to find a key, you are asked to open the cabinet. As soon as you pull on the handle, the cabinet comes off the wall, and the rest of the wall soon falls back with a loud crash.
  • In the chapel, the left side has multiple people, presumably Scarlet's guests. The right side has a single, flopping fish (who, according to the achievements list, is the best man).
• After the Chef, Fujimoto, tries and fails to mow Octodad down in his own backyard, his family is obviously concerned about what's going on over there. Octodad screams, and somehow, in a matter of seconds, (mostly) covers up the destroyed section. He then emits a:
  *blub of forced casualness under duress*
• By the end of Dadliest Catch, Octodad's secret is out and Scarlet now understands why he had been acting strangely. She seems a bit cautious when saying it'll take some getting used to...before bursting out that she was imagining his actions were the result of something MUCH WORSE...because somehow, him being an octopus is perfectly fine. One wonders what the heck she was imagining to be the issue.
• In Dad Romance, the first Octodad Short, your first objective is to search your jackets for money. Upon finding the right one bills come flying out and magically arrange themselves into neat stacks to grease the palm of the maitre'd.
  • Also in the same level, Fujimoto is in the kitchen, but is thankfully too occupied to notice. When he says "I smell octopus!", experienced players might panic, until he cheerfully quips "Must be done cooking!" It helps that he's in an actual kitchen, for once.
    • The cake he's preparing requires 37 steps and complete focus. For Fujimoto, cooking is Serious Business.
• In Medical Mishap, the 205 patient can be treated as a ragdoll item once he goes into cardiac arrest. You could of course wheel him to the OR via his hospital bed/gurney... but you could also grab him and drag him all over the floor on your way there. Not to mention making him flop about in an attempt to get him on both gurneys.
  • Don't forget about the fact that he was a total jerk to you before this, for extra incentive to do so.
• The description on the IV bags of Bloopenol:
  I don't know what it is, Stacy. It's just one of those bag things you put on a bed thing and it goes all up in your blood. What am I, a doctor? It's probably like syrup or something.
• The description on the yellow buckets in the Aquarium and the Boat warn you not to eat the contents, saying 'You won't die or anything but you do NOT want to know what's in here. Trust me.'
• A conversation between two marine biologists:
  Marine Biologist 1: I wish the Amazon Arcade was more educational.
  Marine Biologist 2: Well, I wish I didn't have to answer, "How do fish breathe?" a million times a day.
  Marine Biologist 1: How do fish breathe?
  (beat)
  Marine Biologist 2: I'm going to throw you in the shark tank.
• "I sure hope nothing happens to this giant pane of glass!"
  • Made even better by him saying it in an optimistic tone that sounds like he just wants someone to come over and smash it.
• You can find issues of The Inquirer (a magazine/paper your wife works with) in the store. In the House level she mentions that her latest submission made the cover. It turns out to be a picture of Octodad sitting on the front porch, and the headline blurb is questioning whether alien life has made it to our planet.
• This line from the ship flashback:
  Fisherman 1: The captain told me a real stinker yesterday.
  Fisherman 2: Yeah? What was it?
  Fisherman 1: Why did the cod cross the road? To get to the other tide.
  (beat)
  Fisherman 2: We should consider mutiny.
• From the Hospital Short, Unicornitis.
• During the hospital episode we get to learn that Tommy once wrote a story named "Sports Johnson and the Zombie Hurricane" which was apparently so bloody and gross that Octodad grounded him for a week. Stacy mentions that the story was a bit too violent, while Tommy claims "It was my masterpiece".
