Game

  • Later in the game, as the heroes and their group gathered to Thomas' castle, the latter steps forward and drops the suggestion that they use his castle as their headquarters. Everyone just stands there and stares at him, causing his smile to fade, replaced with a frown, and he awkwardly steps back.
  • In addition to its Awesome, the manga has a few bits of this in it, mostly when the focus is on Geddoe's group.
    Ace: "Jeez! Women— always asking you to get them stuff..."
    Joker: "Hey, since you're buying—!"
    Ace: "No way!"
  • Geddoe, of all people, gets one in the game when confronting Albert Silverberg, one of the villains...
    Geddoe: "All I know is that you are depraving some poor village of it's idiot."
  • The theatre minigame is a goldmine of funny moments:
    • If you have Nash to play as Sierra during "Neclord's End" play, he will deliver this line:
    Nash: It's been a while, eh, Neclord. It's me, 'Old Hag Sierra' — I'm arrogant, never keep promises and suck people's blood at any chance.
    • The Theater minigame is a goldmine for these, but try to get the in-game's worst actress into the most dangerous role... it's enough to make you want a silly laugh track.
    Chris: (with an apple over her head to be shot by William Tell) "What did I do to deserve this?"
    • If you choose an archer character whose skills are not the best, her comment will be justified...
    • Also, Geddoe narrating the heart-wrenching ending to the story of "The Little Match Girl":
    • Do bad enough in the Romeo and Juliet play, and the castle falls down.
    • And hell, when Geddoe is put as the Narrator at Neclord's End, he'll snap and rant in the end, "Ya know, I don't care if you say 'It's for the Castle!' I'm never narrating again!!"
    • Also, putting Fred Maxmillian in any plays... Watch as his Large Ham, No Indoor Voice, and his inability to refer himself as the role he's playing just makes things more bloody hilarious.
    • Or putting Landis in any role. As Nadir noted, "Any roles he's in will make the story into a horror story", and just watch as his "Yuh huh huh" make even the most dramatic scene hilariously bad.
    • Or Hallec, the fearsome warrior of the Nameless Lands, whose stage fright is to such a degree that almost all of his dialogue onstage consists of, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
    • Chris can be very successful in any role with no dialogue. Narrating and lead roles, not so much.
    Chris: Uh... Once there was... a sheepherder... Uh, the boy was a big fibber...
    • Elder Viki has the description "Absolutely not! She must not be allowed to perform!" It is quite serious.
    Viki: Who are you? Where am I?
    • The sheer ridiculousness that is the play Imperial Love. An absurdly hilarious revisionist history of the final battle of Suikoden that paints Milich Oppenheimer as a solo Big Damn Heroes. Doubly funny is that Milich wrote the play, and he wrote himself giving the Golden Hydra a One-Hit Kill!
  • Geddoe punching out a villager that was running past him to attack Franz. The event doubles as a CMOA.
  • Anytime Branky, Mel's puppet opens its mouth...and the subsequent WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
    • In a Bath conversation Belle tries to drown the puppet, thinking its just Mel being weird.
  • During the attack on Chisha.
    Apple: "All right, Hallec. You can stop shouting now...please...stop...
  • When Chris faints in Chapter 2, the only reason she wakes up still in full-armor is the fact that the other Zexan knights got into an argument over who would undress her!!
  • Lucia shows respect for Chris, even as enemies. At the final dungeon (Ceremonial Site), she gives her advice to be less strong looking and act more feminine. This leaves Chris understandably flustered, and when .Salome asks if she's alright, she snaps wiwith very feminine look of frustration "Would everyone please shut up!?"
  • In a bath conversation, Estella tells a real whopper of a fib in which she claims that the real Fubar had died and the current one is just two men in a Griffon suit aided by ventriloquist tricks from Joe.
  • Aila's obsession with soda, which comes up often when the scene is focused on her. Lampshaded by Lucia in the Karayan women's bath scene
    Lucia: You.... it's always soda, isn't it?
  • Melville, Louis and Rody's bath scene has them all admitting who their "dream person" is; Melville and Louis both say Chris, while Rody says Wan Fu, which shocks thebither boys. He tries to explain he didn't mean it that way, but that doesn't stop Melville from immediately getting out of the bath and Louis being speechless.

Manga

  • When Nash tells Chris that the Grasslanders are about to attack Iksay Village, Chris immediately wonders why he didn't tell the people of the village. He did: They told him not to get people upset on a feast day, and beat him with rakes. In hindsight, he says he shouldn't have started by making jokes.
  • When Thomas gets a message that Salome is supposed to take over the castle, he thinks that Salome will make him do horrible tasks, including eating spicy soup.
  • Ace, Joker, and Nash try to peek into the girls bath. It goes poorly.
