Backyard Baseball

  • Achmed Khan's story about a rock concert at his school. When he gets to the part where one of the guitarists broke a string, he lets out an unexpected crazy scream.
  • Dante Robinson's chatter, especially "I see London, I see France, I see your underpants!"
  • Keisha Phillips has a couple of good lines.
    Keisha: (during the chatter) Watch out, Batman! Here comes The Joker!

    Keisha: (when getting picked) I knew you were smart, a real stinker—I mean thinker.
  • One of the phrases Pablo Sanchez says when he strikes out is "Este bate no sirve para nada." which translates to "This bat is useless."
  • During the credits:
    No hot dogs were consumed in the making of this game.

    Okay, maybe a few.
  • Almost anything involving Vinnie the Gooch.
    Sunny Day: Say 'hello', Vinnie.
    Vinnie: Hello, Vinnie.

    Vinnie: (when a generic kid steps up to bat) I wouldn't want to meet this kid in a dark alley. I wouldn't want to meet him in a light alley, either. Alleys are scary!

    Vinnie: (when two or more fielders collide) Pig pile! Everybody jump on!
  • Pete Wheeler confusing the rules with other sports.
    Pete: I'm gonna hit a touchdown!
  • The strikeout animations are also pretty funny to watch as well. Complete with wacky sound effects at that!
    • When Pete Wheeler strikes out he drops his bat and them clumsily steps on top of it while a crazy drum kit plays away during his tumbling.
    • When Ricky Johnson strikes out, he looks at the camera with a disappointed look on his face, then he backs away step by step slowly before just... flinging his entire body off screen.

Backyard Soccer

  • Angela Delvecchio recounts a story where her family paid a visit to Vinnie the Gooch's house. Vinnie told a joke that made Tony laugh so hard that milk came out of his nose.

Backyard Football

  • Achmed Khan's "rock song".
    Achmed: Rock! Rock! Everybody rock! Everybody love the heavy rocking guitar! Yeah!
    • One of the rejected names for Achmed Khan's band was Ham Sandwich.
  • If you hold down Shift while clicking on Pablo Sanchez, he will say in English that he dreamed about a burrito.
  • Chuck Downfield sacked himself. Twice.
  • Pete Wheeler's dad apparently holds the record for most rushing yards in a single game of Backyard Football. Only for all those yards to be going the wrong way, resulting in multiple safeties for the other team. The other team won.
  • When Dante Robinson scores a touchdown, his celebration is running to the concession stand and running back with a tray of food and starts eating it in the endzone.
  • In most of the later games, when you create a custom player and don't give him any stats, they tend to just use all the "(s)he's not the best in [category]" type description for every stat. In this game, however, if you make a custom player and leave all the stats at one, the description? "This kid is not a strong player."
  • The player bios have two ways of explaining how Dmitri Petrovich got his nickname of "Paste". Dmitri will be upfront about it but Jorge Garcia's depiction is funnier.
    Jorge: You haven't by chance seen Mr. Petrovich around, have you? He's the rather large boy who eats paste.

Backyard Basketball

  • In the original game, Barry DeJay would have an interview with the 110% Juice Player of the Game at the end of the game. Usually the question is straightforward and relates to the game, but sometimes Barry will ask an off-the-wall question, such as whether he should get a mustache or whether Iago from Othello was a tragic figure. The Player of the Game will comment something to the effect of either "I have no idea what you said" or "You're crazy".
    Custom player: I just gave 110... what did you just say?
    • Special mention goes to Lisa Crocket, who just doesn't respond at all.

Backyard Hockey

  • Sunny Day poking fun at Buddy Cheque for wearing a girl's jacket, with the latter getting defensive. Turns out, it's a hand-me down since Buddy has six older sisters.
  • Buddy Cheque ending a game commentary with a word from a sponsor.
    Buddy: If you're nice on your windows, go get you a Straight-co! Man, who writes this garbage, Sunny?"
