History Funny / AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag

* Thatch's excited and obviously mood-lightening announcement about his "retirement party" is oddly adorable for the guy who made it his business to be the scariest guy on sea. [[spoiler:he unfortunately dies a couple scenes later]]

* The in-game Abstergo emails and promos and information on their products are hilarious for being constantly EntertaininglyWrong. There's also the fact that they reject Altair, Ezio and Connor's stories as being not propaganda friendly. One can imagine that in some Assassin afterlife, the three of them are all smug about being too badass for the Templars.

* Poor Steade Bonnet gets the full Blackbeard treatment in one part of the game, to the point that the entire screen actually gets darker as Thatch snarls in his face with those burning wicks coming out from under his hat. As soon as he's done with his speech, the whole place abruptly goes back to normal and Thatch essentially says, "Yeah, that should about do it." Blackbeard, arguably the most feared pirate to ever sail the seas, is actually very theatrical!

* There is an achievement for getting drunk of your ass and waking up in a haystack.

'''Rhona''': Aren't you the crafty one? [[DeadpanSnarker Whatever gave it away?]]

* When Edward finds Rhona DInsmore, who's hiding under fire by hostile forces:

'''Rhona''': Aren't you the crafty one? [[DeadpanSnarker ''Whatever'' gave it away?]]

'''Rhona''': Aren't you the crafty one? [[DeadpanSnarker What''ever'' gave it away?]]

-->'''Edward''': I've come to warn you: your life's in danger.

'''Edward''': What does it matter?

* While disguised as Duncan Walpole, a bonus objective (read: implied how things actually went down) has Edward taking RefugeInAudacity by ''pickpocketing'' the three Templars as they discuss their plans, ''for no apparent reason''. Given that he's already been winging it up to this point[[note]]with generally noncommital answers or silence in conversations, and improvising his Hidden Blade killing moves[[/note]], that is hilariously pushing it.

-->'''Jack Rackham''': Well, I'll be hanged... [[spoiler:King George]] has had enough of our shenanigans.

* During the Assassin mission "Upton's Sorrow" as Edward guides the sorrowful and completely smashed Upton across town...

* When [spoiler:The British invade Nassau]], "Calico" Jack Rackham makes the understatement of the year as [[spoiler:soldiers land on the beaches and start marching]].

* When a certain character reveals their true identity, [[spoiler:she (James Kidd/Mary Read), threatens to castrate Kenway if he tells anyone. She has a ''very'' peculiar smile on her face as she moves out of the frame.]]
