History ComicallyMissingThePoint / Videogames

* In ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole'', due to the hero being an HeroicMime, Cartman makes up a backstory for his superhero persona, where his life turning point was when he found his dad [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous fucking his mom]]. Upon hearing this backstory [[OnlySaneMan Kyle]] berates Cartman about how all dads fuck moms. All of them.

* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'', quite a few characters miss the point of what Sikieiki's trying to tell them, even when Siki's being direct. Even Reimu and Marisa are guilty of this.

* From the ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'' offical FAQ:

-->'''Rachel:''' My, what a fine bat!\\

-->'''Ragna''': "[[AnimatedArmor He ''pees]]''?"
** Also happens in Litchi's gag reel. Taokaka forces a select few characters to play a magical board game, in which the player abides by the rules or else. [[ButtMonkey Bang Shishigami]] falls on a square that forces him to get ''brutally beaten the crap outta him by a metal bat'', which the game itself provides. The other player's responses?
-->'''Rachel''': "My, what a fine bat!"
-->[...]
-->'''Tager''': "Hmm... Well, I have to admit, that ''is'' a very nice metal bat."

--> "You can't ''DO'' that! You can't commit ''murder''!"

--->'''G''': (Sees an explosion in the distance) This is bad.\\
'''Isaac''': Damn right, this is bad! [[FelonyMisdemeanor You've seen the prices?!]]

--> '''Kreese:''' [spends a minute recounting his fight with [[MsFanservice Elise]], the boss Jack is currently facing]\\

-->'''Hawke''' ''(trying to bluff her/his way past the guards):'' There's a fire on the other side of this row! Get help before it spreads!\\

* The "comedy" of Mcdougal's racism in VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption is that he tries to sound enlightened about how he discusses Native Americans, while failing to realize just how backwards his views are, to the point where he can't even draw a simple conclusion on why white blood and native blood are the exact same, ''even after that discovery refuted his own research.'' At one point, Native teammate Nastas makes a quip about how his people have been suffering ever since white men arrived, which lead to this magical exchange:
-->Mcdougal: It hasn't been easy for anyone, Nastas. Why, I knew a man in Yale whose father once shot 18 natives in one afternoon out in Wyoming. The man was quite, quite traumatized. He took to lying with choir boys.
-->[[TokenEnemyMinority Nastas:]] For a wise man, [[StupidScientist you are a very stupid man, mister.]]

--> '''Don Octavio:''' I know you're nothing without this little guy's brain. So I figure I'll scoop him out real slow and use him to fertlize my tomato plants.\\

--> '''Cartman:''' Oh right. So does that mean your dad fucked your mom, Kyle?! Huh?!
--> '''Kyle:''' YES! My dad fucked my mom! That's why I'M HERE.
--> '''Cartman:''' Dude, don't steal his backstory. That's not cool.

----> '''Colette:''' So to sum up, the guardian is a wise old lady with a killer body and paw pads.

--> '''Uzuki:''' You're treading on thin ice.
--> '''Beat:''' No I ain't. Shibuya's not cold enough for ice!

* ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsCovenant'' has a hilarious example. Garan attempts to kill the party, however they're a bit more concerned about his appearance, at first. The final time he is encountered outside of a sidequest, he tries to scare the party by telling them that he sent them to hell. However, they all huddle and think that it's the pillow he's floating on. When he asks for their last words, Yuri says, "Yeah - that pillow. Where can I get one?"

* ''VideoGame/ShiningResonance'': Sonia's portrayed as reasonably intelligent, albeit, selectively dense. Such as failing to realize what Marion was getting at when she asks Sonia what she eats to get [[BuxomIsBetter "like that"]]. Which should've been obvious since Marion is seen staring directly at [[GagBoibs Sonia's chest.]] Instead, Sonia assumes Marion's asking about her strength and tells her it's because she [[AccidentalInnuendo drinks milk.]]

* ''VideoGame/ShiningResonance'': The portrays Sonia as being sensible and level-headed, for the most part. Yet, she can be selectively dense, especially where [[GagBoobs her boobs]] are concerned. Such as failing to realize what Marion was getting at when she asks Sonia what she eats to get [[BuxomIsBetter "like that"]]. Which should've been obvious since Marion is seen staring directly at Sonia's chest. Instead, Sonia assumes she's asking about her strength and tells her it's because she [[AccidentalInnuendo drinks milk.]]

* In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters XIII'', due to her extreme youth and PingPongNaivete, Kula Diamond often misunderstands what other people tell her in the pre-fight talks. HilarityEnsues every time this happens.

* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', Lloyd is relating stories of extrinsic motivation to [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Colette]] and Regal. Despite the fact that Regal CLEARLY tells Colette that Lloyd was referring to the temptation of the food that boosted his memories, Colette seems convinced that it was Dirk's cooking itself, and not the incentive of it, that taught Lloyd how to memorize the Dwarven Vows.

* Beat from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' does this at the start of [[spoiler: the third week]].

* Guybrush Threepwood of ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'' is prone to this [[DependingOnTheWriter depending on the player]]. In ''VideoGame/TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland'', for instance, Sherrif Fester Shinetop lures him into an alley and warns him that the area could be dangerous. One dialogue option has Guybrush ask if Fester heard something back there, too.

* One section of the AGD FanRemake of KingsQuestII has Graham attempt to retrieve Neptune's trident from the King of the Sharkees, who's baffled by why he can't use its power. After all, the trident is enchanted in a way so it can only be used by those who possess "good will", and he with his sheer military might and ruthlessness obviously has ''the greatest'' will in the kingdom.

* The match commentators in ''MadWorld'' are only focused on the match about half the time. The rest leads to situations like this:

* In ''JollyRover'', James wonders why Melvin is smoking -- next to a large barrel of gunpowder:
--> '''Melvin''': Capt'n Howell hates it too, says smokin's bad to ya health.

-->'''Ruby:''' Nice girls don't show their no-no parts to boys until after they're married.
-->'''Lucia:''' You think Hiro and I should get married?

--> '''Kreese''': (Spends a minute recounting his fight with [[MsFanservice Elise]], the boss Jack is currently facing)\\
'''Howard''': [[GagBoobs AWESOME RACK ON HER THOUGH!]]\\
'''Kreese''': [[MaleGaze Aww, true dat!]]

** Another one in Valkenhayn's gag reel. Valky describes the legend of the "[[LittleMissBadass Sleeping Crimson-Eyed Pigtails]]" and goes on to mention that even [[{{Badass}} Hakumen]] pees himself at the mere mention of it. Ragna's response?:

* During Makoto's ''Help Me!!'' segment in ''[[VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND]]'', Kokonoe demands that Makoto [[ACupAngst explain her shelf]], to which she responds "You want me to explain furniture?" While this would be a typical response from a {{ditz}} and fit this trope under normal circumstances, the look on her face suggested she ''knew'' what Kokonoe was talking about, and she missed the point on purpose. Whether this makes it [[Funny/BlazBlue funnier]] is an exercise for the viewer.

-->'''Ragna''': "[[AnimatedArmor He]] ''[[FridgeLogic pees]]''?"

* Grobnar Gnomehands, resident SpoonyBard and {{Cloudcuckoolander}} of ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2'', is the ''king'' of this trope. One memorable incident has him meet [[VideoGame/NeverwinterNights the previous game's]] bard, the kobold Deekin Scalesinger. It's fairly well known in the D&D mythos that [[FantasticRacism kobolds hate gnomes]]. Deekin sings a piece of doggerel about butchering gnomes, and ''Grobnar turns into a music critic''. [[Funny/NeverwinterNights2 The exchange has to be read to be believed.]]

* There's many moments in ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' of this, but one of the more notable ones is Klug telling Sig about bookworms, Sig loves bugs, and think the bookworm is a bug and will make his collection cooler, much to Klug's dismay

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAge2'', Merrill is regularly prone to this due to her innocence, [[LiteralMinded literal-mindedness]], and the fact that she [[FishOutOfWater doesn't quite get the finer points of the human culture]]:
--->'''Hawke''' ''(trying to bluff her/his way past the guards):'' There's a fire on the other side of this row! Get help before it spreads!
--->'''The guard:''' What?
--->'''Hawke:''' Don't you hear the screaming? Are you deaf?
--->'''Merrill:''' There's not really a fire, is there?
--->'''Hawke:''' No, Merrill, it's a trick.
--->'''Merrill:''' Oh, that was very clever then.
---> Cue to the guards attacking Hawke.

* In ''LunarEternalBlue'', TeamPet Ruby tries to explain to MysteriousWaif Lucia why she shouldn't [[InnocentFanserviceGirl go wandering around naked in front of Hiro and the other male party members:]]
