Laugh-out-loud moments

devotfeigedevotfeige Registered User regular
edited July 2008 in Penny Arcade Games
For me I found that the majority of the game's merit came in the form of extreme subtleties--little bits of text or dialog that got me to crack a grin or a smile at the reference, but not much more than that. Now, I really enjoy that sort of humor, myself, so I had a blast from that alone.

I'm curious, though;

I really only actually found myself laughing out loud at one thing in particular
(The scream when Gabe assaults the fortune teller. My god, I die laughing every single time.)
and I'm wondering... anything you found laugh-out-loud hilarious?

    Yeah, Gabe
    dipping his hand into his last 'power up' was hilarious.

    The death songs of the quartets were hilarious too.

    That and the Sinwheel
    Promise me it will come to no harm!

    Yeah, we're giving it to someone who is gonna piss on it like a thousand times.

    All good stuff.

    Gabe's dialog before you fight the slum lord. Can't remember the exact lines but it goes basically like:

    Gabe: Hold on guys, let's hear him out!
    Slum Lord: Really?
    Gabe: No, we're going to fuck you up.

    I laughed so hard.

    I laughed out loud at (among many, many other things):
    "This crab is trying to keep his shit together in a world gone mad."

    "Crab fact: Crabs are fucking crazy."

    These are definite high points in a game that is, itself, a high point.

    I was roaring with laughter when
    The urinologist, Whipple, was pissing all over the ferris wheel replica. The looks of horror on Gabe, Tycho, and my avatar's faces compared with the look of serious concentration on Whipple's face had me crying while the description of the event kept changing.

    tck...Hey man, you gotta let me get up on that.

    We (the gathering) thought that hilarious, but I actually was in a pretty goofy mood at the time so I was laughing a lot, embarassingly. I understand the cracking a smile thing, too, it seems like just as much fun as rawlflomging.

    I expected it to be called anything but that. That's the first "Inn" I've seen that carries such a name.

    But there were many ROFL moments.

    For me it was the end-movie, where Gabe puts his arm on Tycho, and then quickly has it shrugged off.

    Well, the idea of what you collect from the hobos in Hobo Alley was pretty amusing to me, but what really got me was one word, seen after you beat the slumlord:
    Hobeef!

    I most definitely laughed out loud at the "do you want to punch a God?" sequence. But for me, the kicker has to be fighting Barbershop Quartets, which I could do all day basically. Gotta love the harmonized entry/exit audio and musical threats.

    the barbershop quartet, where he tries to extol the values of synergy in a free market and they absolutely ignore him in favor of shouting about how they want to kill us.

    Most of the highlights have already been mentioned except this one:
    when your character sucks out the soul of the Silent Pope, then gives an enthusiastic thumbs up to Gabe and Tycho... who return it as best they can while covering their mouths in disgust

    The Rat and the Wolf, and the Satanic Room too, and the conversations concerning those rooms. I was laughing and worried about waking up everyone in the building at the same time.
    Gabe, and his unbearable need to confess that he'd like to punch a God.
    "HATS! NOW!", "Wagons are useful as fuck", "Crab fact: Crabs are fucking crazy" and most of those.

    Most of mine have already been said.
    Of course, there was the, "Punching a God," sequence, and the Barbershop Quartets. Also, the fact that I was eating soup made out of Hobo Meat made me laugh in a twisted sort of way.

    One part that I particularly appreciated, though, was the response, "For murdering purposes, mostly," which is just a great quote to be able to throw out in general.

    I chuckled a bit at Gabe and Tycho's reactions to that. They just look so pleased with you.

    Also the way you slide down through the bottom of the panel when you finish talking with the
    fortune telling machine
    made me laugh probably a lot harder than it should have.

    I can't remember it properly but it's near the start:
    When you go back to desperation st and it's filled with mimes. Gabe says something like "they're a mime a minute" and then he and the main character look at Tycho who comes up with "Maybe it's ... mime ... day?"

    And yeah destroying the fortune teller. Straight away reminded me of the scene from office space. "Back up in your ass with the resurrection..." While Gabe's all punching the shit out of the machine on the ground. "Did you forsee that?"
