Funny / The Lost Vikings

• A magazine ad for Lost Vikings 2 showed a giant, fiery explosion, with the text over it, "You idiots. That was our village!"
• The discussion that happens when a level is failed 15 times:
  Thor: This is the voice of Thor, the Viking god of thunder. I am real angry with you guys.
  Erik: How have we displeased you, oh mighty voice of Thor?
  Olaf: Why can't we see you?
  Thor: Would you want to be seen with Vikings that have failed 15 times to get through a level?
  Erik: But...
  Thor: In my day, Vikings were faced with much more difficult levels, and we always got past them on the first try!
  Olaf: Always?
  Thor: Do you doubt Thor? Now go out there and find that exit!!!
  • This is made even funnier if you view Olaf's "always?" as an Armor-Piercing Question that makes Thor immediately try to end the conversation. Perhaps not even the Lord Of Thunder can handle Nintendo Hard levels.
• When Baleog asks one of the shamans if his gods will make Olaf eat less, he answers that even their power has its limits.
• The intro to Lost Vikings 2 shows the vikings being abducted by Tomator, only to be flung through space and time because Olaf misreads a lever:
  Baleog: The sign said "Do Not Touch!" NOT "DONUTS!!!"
  Erik: ...What's a donut?
• A recurring joke in The Lost Vikings 2 features new character Fang the werewolf, in which nobody can seem to get right what sort of half-animal he is.
  Olaf: Well, we've still got Fang. He attacks and jumps and stuff.
  Erik: A talking, jumping ferret, huh?
  Fang: Quit badgering me!
  Olaf: I don't know how much more of this he can bear...
  • The confusion only continues as the game progresses.
  Baelog: Where are we now? And what happened to that goat?
• Another good Running Gag in the second game is Olaf being single-handily responsible for the vikings being stuck time traveling by saying something very specific whilst around the time machine (i.e. "ship", "jungle" and "home", in that order). The other vikings and eventually Fang and Scorch get very fed up with Olaf about this. Ironically, the first time it occurs it's Baleog who incurs this unintentionally (due to him remarking about he and the others being in the dark for ages) and the last time it happens it actually HELPS the vikings get on the right track to getting home.
• Just like in the first game, if you fail a lot in Lost Vikings 2 the characters will notice and be most annoyed.
  Erik: Here we are... Again.
  Baleog: I’m sure it’s not because the player can’t pass the level.
  Olaf: Yeah, some people insist on trying to find every little secret item!
  Erik: That’s got to be the reason we keep coming back here. I mean nobody plays that poorly unless they’ve suffered some sort of head trauma...
  • At one point they even reference the game's Game Over screen.
  Olaf: Gee, I hope we don't pass the level this time.
  Erik: WHY?!
  Olaf: I got a crush on that valkyrie! Besides, we're racking up frequent flyer mileage with all these trips to Valhalla.
  Baleog: At this rate we'll fly home free...
• The first game has different death animation for each of the viking when they fall in quicksands. Erik panics as he sinks. Baleog just shrugs. And Olaf? He waves farewell at you.
• In a rather unintentionally hilarious example, the 32-Bit versions of Norse By Norsewest have the characters looking like Muppets in the game itself, which is especially noteworthy in the intro cutscene!
• This cutscene after the pirate ship levels in the second game. You think he's talking about the vikings, but:
  Tomator: I can't stand the suspense! When will this be finished? Come on, hurry up... almost there... almost there... ah, my turkey's finally ready.
