Funny / Sunset Overdrive

Go To

  • The TnTeddy, of course.
    • Even hilarious the fact it contains hidden messages when Player shoots it closer to him/her, like "Well hello there, my name's Eidi Snuggle Bear!", "New from the makers of OverCharge, it's Eidi Snuggle Bear.", and "Coming next fall, Eidi Super Snuggle Bear! Twice the fun!".
  • When he/she sees Sunset City through some binoculars near the Radio Tower, he/she says "Looks like Sunset City was built expressively for me to bounce and grind all over it! Funny how that worked out.", considering Hilarious in Hindsight for Insomniac who designed Sunset City for this game.
  • When one of the Fizzbots shoots the player character, he/she yells out "Stop shooting me!".
  • The list of games that Insomniac allegedly worked on at the beginning.
  • The appearance of Fizzie, the mascot of Fizzco.
    • "Hey! It's me! Fizzie! Trespassing the destruction of property is a serious crime! (chuckles) (in a serious, angry voice) Get ready to die, asshole!"
    • "Best investment ALL day!"
    • "Prepare to be amaaaazed!"
    • "Ready for some cheap thrills?"
  • Upon being informed that Max's parents have a Panic Room, the player snarks that they have an entire Panic Apartment. It looks just like their normal apartment, but with the windows boarded up and them inside, panicking.
    • Max's parents aren't dead. They've just abandoned him and used his trust fund money to live in the Bahamas. Max takes this extremely well, celebrating his newfound freedom by deleting his parents' contacts.
  • The Bora Bora AI is incredibly snarky, constantly lampshading the fact that draining an overly-expensive "vitamin enriched" water bottling plant is so labour intensive.
    • The actual contents of Bora Bora is an extremely long list of random chemicals, vitamins, and minerals with "a shot of whiskey (for flavour)."
  • Sam's "friends" are a bunch of ungrateful jerks who won't help you after you helped them. Not until you threaten them do they actually do anything.
  • Meeting Buck for the first time. When Buck asks how you know how to use a gun, your response is simply, “I’m an American.”
  • As you search a bunch of trucks for cold medicine, one of the other drugs you can find is "Ritalinfant: Ritalin for Babies." The PC says aloud, in a depressed tone, "It was just a matter of time."
  • Your entire Mushroom Samba while suffering from leeches, severe bloodloss, and overdosing on an entire bottle of Fizotussin, fever medicine. All while stripped to your underwear. Noteworthy elements include the floor literally being lava as a reference to one of the game's key mechanics, skeletons, and Day of the Dead ninja cheerleaders.
    • The quest begins with the LARPers asking you to look for medicine. The player's response upon accepting.
    "We will discuss my offense at your assumption that I would know where to find drugs."
    • The quest ends with Wendy asking you why you're freaking out and shooting at nothing.
  • The mission "Hardcore!". It stats off innocently enough, with you breaking some things with a foam sword. Then you get to the crossbow section, which has you shooting down catapult projectiles, drones... and UFOs and blimps. It culminates with you and Hardcore dueling each other, and that ends with a gas station exploding.
  • The ending of "This Ends Here". Well, the first one. After the player's Heroic Sacrifice, the credits roll... and then the player walks out and chews out the developers for the lame ending. The player rewinds the scene, and comes back to life via respawn animation. The game goes on to give you a proper final boss fight.
  • Bryllcreem says there's no escape from the city. Player goes "Seriously!?" Cut to a caption of our favorite scout leader's completely straight face, with a caption and and an arrow; "ALWAYS SERIOUS".
  • At one point, the PC sets up a rock concert to earn the favor of Las Catrinas and so one of the children they're keeping safe doesn't die before he sees a rock concert. Once the concert rolls around you learn that the kid was only acting like he had cancer. He actually has tonsillitis. The game even flashes a splash screen on the kid with the words YOU GOT PLAYED. The PC's a good sport about it though, simply saying "Well done, little man."
  • The end of the Mooil Rig DLC. After taking down the sea monster, the player is perched on the hand of Bryllcream's mech suit as they stare out into the sea. After Bryllcream says "We're all safe, for now", the player responds "Except your sister. She's DEFINITELY dead." After Bryllcream gives them a disapproving stare, the player attempts to lighten the mood by stating what makes them feel better when they're down — KILLING STUFF... stuff that's not his sister, that is. Bryllcream then unceremoniously drops the player to the ground and flies off.
  • In one of the missions with the Fargarths, Wendy the Bard sings this:
    Bard: A battle is coming, let me sing the song of hunts... I can smell the breath of our enemies, what a bunch of sodding—
    Master Chandler: Yes, lovely tune, quite enough. Bard, thank you.
  • One of the game options censors the vulgarity with bleeps. This game is not light on profanity so you can get unintentional funny moments coming in form of a Cluster Bleep-Bomb.
