Most un-intentionally funny moments in games? [Archive]

What do you think the most unintentionally funny moments are in video games? I've got a few that come to mind...

1. The first time I actually saw Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em on my friend's emulator. Having owned Custard's Revenge, I thought I held the high mark (or low mark) in video game pornography. I was wrong.

2. When the pig commits suicide in Illusion of Gaia for the SNES. One of the most cheesely mellow dramatic scenes in video game history that had me busting a gut when I saw it.

3. Seeing "I fell asleep" while playing Metal Gear for the first time when I, was like, 8, I laughed so hard I fell off the bed and broke my leg when I landed on my dip-shit brother's rollerskate. Well, I guess you had to be there.

Without question, the voice acting in Castlevania SOTN. Especially at the beginning. It helps that they made the voices 10 times louder than the rest of the game. And the dialogue!

Play Club Drive for the Jaguar. The physics engine will have you in stitches. And play the arcade version of Punisher, or the Genesis version at least. The violence is so excessive and straight faced. It makes for great morbid comedy.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs by Capcom, arcade. The way those fat guys laugh and explode when you hit them with a bazooka cracks me up everytime.

Ooh, I forgot a good one. The final enemy of Bionic Commando for the NES is shown in a deadpan portrait that looks exactly like a hybrid of Bob Newhart and Adolf Hitler. That's about one of the funniest sights in an NES game.

The boss fight against Krang in NES TMNT 3. THe first time my sister and I made it up to Krang this goofy music started up, Krang's theme, setting the mood and after awhile Krang got enough damage that he split in two parts. His top half would float in the air while his torso and legs would run on their own, kicking us. We both burst out laughing at that sight.

Probably the older games that have totally unrealistic combat, then again, some games today do, too. Like for instance, Guerilla War or the Punisher for the NES. You know where you have to pump an enemy (HUMAN enemy) completely full of lead before you even stop them. The last guy in Guerilla War is some HUMAN dictator and you got to shoot the bastard probably 50-60 times with your gun or nail him with about 40-50 grenades. Same with the Punisher. You face a guy in a ninja outfit and the Kingpin in a leisure suit and you need to shoot them with a full burst of your machine gun for probably 3 or 4 consecutive minutes, maybe 300 rounds, on top of hitting them with grenades and rocket launchers over a dozen times. Maybe it's just me but I always found that amusing......for all it's faults Dick Tracy (NES) was slightly realistic, considering you would need only one or two shots or could just flatten enemies with a few punches.

Metal Gear Solid, when you're crawling around in an air vent surrounded by enemy soldiers and Master Miller starts rambling about field mice.

Also, the end. Liquid Snake loses a fist fight, falls a couple stories, gets shot with a machine gun a few dozen times, gets in a car crash, and he's STILL just fine.

I have to second the voice-acting in the first Resident Evil. It's not just the bad lines but the people they hired seem unable to even pronounce correctly the simplest words. I remember the woman saying "Barry, where have you been?" and she pronounces been like "bean". I need to go play it again now, just for those moments.

I also remember Microleague Baseball for the Atari ST computers years ago. There was a bug in it that occurred once in awhile where, when the players would field and throw the ball, you'd see the diving animation from them you usually got from a batter when he was being hit by a pitch.

Final Zone II for the TurboGrafx CD. The voice acting it in was o bad they had to have been reading off scripts they had seen for the first time. Not only were they reading it slow and without inflection, but the dialoge was just bad. Stuff like "Oh... there you... are. I'm going... to... have... to kill... you". I couldn't stop laughing. Thank god the game was short.

Quite sadly, I know that his name is KIRK Cameron, not Kurt. And I found the FMV in The Horde (a top-ten 3DO game later ported to the Saturn and PC, but never the PS1!) unoffensive -- certainly not good, but not gawd-awful, either. There was at least an attempt at production values, which is more than can be said for most FMV of the era.

-- Z.

What's even sadder than you knowing how to spell his name properly is you defending it :D

Just kidding of course. FYI: I'm not saying it's bad, just that I found it to be the first funniest 'unintentional' bit to come to my sad little mind. The fact taht he's in a 3DO game has always killed me (and *all* FMV kills me).

I love beating up the foot soldiers in TMNT II for the NES. You hit a guy in a ninja suit a couple times, he falls down, then, for some inexplicable reason, EXPLODES. ("Watch those lackies, they're volatile!")

Then there's the guy outside the Saith bar in Lunar: SSSC, who calls it "The most wretched hive of scum and villainy I've ever seen...Plus, the beer is watered down!" All right, it's not unintentional, but I just found that game and I'm thinking of naming my firstborn after the translator. (Er, localizer. Whatever.)

Until Kaine23 mentioned it, I was like "What about "spoony bard?" that is the ultimate! Well, apart from "All your base are belong to us," but that thing is largely funny due to the cult following it has rather than the fact that large amounts of people actually played the game itself and found it funny.

The voice-acting in SotN is pretty hilarous, too. That librarian: "what can I DO for you?!" hahahaha

The REALLY funny (or should I say odd) thing is that as bad as the voice-acting in SotN is it doesn't ruin the game or make it anything less than a superb classic.

when you finish Super Star Wars on the SNES, Luke's X-Wing flies into sight, and basically moves down the screen as if it were some kind of cardboard cut-out.

A+ to Lucasarts for that one. it's pretty dodgy. :D

my friends and i would fall on the floor laughing our a**es off when running down guys in the tank in Goldeneye for n64. heh. MWAAAAA!!

and also, we turned on the slomo and stuff, so we could see them fall down dying in slo mo

LOL Aaaah, the tank from GEye. That brings back a lot of fond memories. I remember doing the same thing as well. I would go through the Streets stage over and over again just to run over guys, cars, jeep, more cars, more guys, even more guys... Mindless fun. Any wonder my parents didn't think I was warped from all the weird stuff I did in that game. 8-)

Then there was the time I snuck up on a scientist in the Caverns stage and placed a timed mine right under his legs. He just stood there, like nothing was happening, then BOOM! He actually flew like 10 feet in the air. MY GAWD, I never laughed so hard.....

Although it was not funny at first, but I remember the time I shot 3 entire clips of 30 bullets each at a friend in multiplayer and not one damn bullet hit him. When I look back on that, I laugh...

Oh wait, this is supposed to be for all games, not just Goldeneye 64... ;)

How about in Bionic Commando for the nes when one of the enemy soldiers called you a nerd. I believe the exact quote was something like, "Get outa the way you nerd!" It's bad enough when real people call you a nerd, but when your' video games doing it, well, it really makes you think!

Anyone remember on the old ezboards there was a topic for "funniest moments" in games. Who was it that posted that one game where there were these 2 gay looking guys (I think it was some puzzle games).. anyway it was a series of pics showing progressively more gayer activity then the poster at the end put in his own hand drawn picture at the end. It was hilarious! Who did that? Anyone remember? And what game was it?

I'm sorry I'm real bad with the details :(

first time I played "Doshinden" on gamecube:
I trampled some people dead and suddenly a little flower appeard where they died under my giant legs......I broke down laughing seeing this.

Wolfenstein 3D's voice acting is also good for a big laugh
"Mein lehbenn"

same goes to german version of "Medal of Honor:Frontline":
"Ami-schwein!" and my fav "Du Hans,host du a wos gh�rt?"

I'd suggest everyone check out the first 10 minutes of Jade Cacoon 2 for the PlayStation 2. Besides being a surprisingly good game, you WILL have a long, hard laugh at the wording of a few lines. Trust me.

How about the entire game of The Bouncer? Or Daikatna LOL

Actually, there's a great little trick you can do with Bloody Roar: Primal Fury on the Game Cube.

Choose the bat girl and the main character guy (I think it's him). When you push the two together, and wait a second or two for the animation to synch with each other, it looks like the Bat Girl is...uh...rubbing him the right way with her forward hand. @_@ It'll only work with the right guy character though, due to the height.

I'd have to say Super Bust-a-Move 2 on the PS2. The cut-scenes feature beautiful cartoony graphics and are promptly ruined whenever a character talks - the voice acting is just utterly abysmal. I laughed the first time through but the second time it was just too painful to listen to!

Thankfully they dumped it all for the Cube version!

Not in the actual game itself but in the new Rebel Strike game when you start it up and all the Star Wars characters are disco dancing, I still laugh everytime I think about it LOL and also in Legacy of Kain 2 when the humans see Kain and they start screaming and running away, I find that hilarious and I think I laughed throughout the entire General Chaos game for the Gen LOL

- Metal Gear (NES)

A recent event happened when playing Chrono Cross. I had just bought it, and a friend of mine who loves the game came over to play it. The first time I saw Poshul, I laughed so hard that fell off my chair and was rolling on the floor. My friend was shrieking like a two-year old schoolgirl. And then came Mojo....

Oh yeah, and playing Megaman 3 the first time and finding out there's a character named Hard Man.

Good topic. Does the box art for FFX (http://www.ffwa.org/news/images/2001/17`11`2001/ff10-usboxart.jpg) count?

Also, for some reason, Eternal Darkness didn't really put me in a spooky mood. So being far-removed from the game, there were some funny moments--like the oh-so scary voice that gives you clues...

"siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiixxxxxxxxxx fifteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnn."

Anyone play Super Noah's Ark for the SNES by Wisdom Tree? The game uses the Wolfenstein game engine as you (Noah) go through the ark blasting animals with fruit. These damned things sneak up on you and attack you and you just have to keep reaming them with fruit and they will eventually go to sleep. Just a surreal experience.

I'd have to say when I first put in the Saturn version of Corpse Killer. Those zombies looked so stupid. They just flew all over and looked like they just took a buch of zombie pictures and put them over top of a background...It was so funny I forgot to laugh. And I mean that literally, not joking. It was so funny it was almost sad.

* Some pretty bad slowdown...that actually adds drama and tension to certain fighting moves

There is a certain magic about Shenmue...

It's epic, fun, has a great story, great characters, great feel, amazing graphics, incredible music...

Yet the game has lines like the one above that have become classics, and the overall voice acting is just terrible.

However the game isn't made any less fun or enjoyable by the bad voice acting, or dialouge.

I'm not sure how much of this was intentional, but I've never giggled like a schoolgirl as much as I did during the part of MGS3 when you have to steal Raikov's clothes. So much innuendo... :-P But best is something I got an idea for and had to try out. You know those girly magazines you can use, that distract the guards while they stare at them?

Get your canteen, Fill it up with water, Get beaten down by enemies while drinking water and you'll still be drinking it when he hits you and knocks you over. Very funny especially when indy doesn't have hi's hat on.

Throw enemies down cliffs. Then yell at the screen "You're going DOWN!"

In the Nazi base level, A nazi picked up the bazooka that I had. So he fired it at close range and not only kills me, But he Killed himself too! ROFL

Oh, And heres a joke for the enemies in the game: Grab a nazi, Push him over a cliff, Call him a pushover.
