History Funny / DevilMayCry4

* The Savior is revealed in full as Nero and Kyrie are absorbed inside it, it "powers up" and flies away, and it's a gigantic creature that would normally herald a MassOhCrap from the cast of any other game. Meanwhile, Credo is dying in the background. Here comes Dante whose only reaction to The Savior is an unimpressed "Check it out. It's got wings!" Then Trish agrees: "The design shows a terrible taste."

* Dante faces Dagon. Unlike how Nero meets Bael's [[AlluringAnglerfish Rusalka "lures"]] for the first time (since they're the same kind), Dante is VERY happy to see Dagon's "lures" and [[ItAmusedMe even tries to]] [[TwinThreesomeFantasy flirt with them]]. But he manages to avoid Dagon's attack, thus leading to this conversation. The comment about the smell is made even funnier if you notice that, just before the battle, Dante plugs his nose.

* The prologue and first mission in the Opera House already has several funny moments, but these can be summed up with "Dante just messes with Nero the entire fight and can NoSell everything, even getting his own sword though his chest [[RunningGag again]]".

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK6UaPnRYcc cutscene]] of Dante trying out the newly-acquired Lucifer. It's filled with [[DoubleEntendre innuendos]], then it tips off at the end with SuckMyRose where the monolithic Hellgate forms a split-open heart-shaped rubble as Lucifer's blades explode. The broken heart-shaped stones also visually mean "heart break".

* The Lady/Trish campaign of the Special Edition shows that Dante, Lady and Trish were still in front of the Opera House, watching Nero and Kyrie kiss off-screen. Among them, Lady has the most interesting reaction as she lowers her glasses just to watch what's going on.

* The additional costumes introduced in ''Special Edition'' carry over to (most of) the cutscenes, which, depending on the scene, adds to the hilarity. Seeing Dante ham it up against Agnus or do a DoubleEntendre-laden dance routine is funny enough by itself, but seeing him in the [[AwesomeAnachronisticApparel Sparda outfit]] as he does makes it downright sidesplitting
* The PC version's music tracks are all Ogg Vorbis files, meaning you can change the music to whatever you want (though you have to fiddle with the extensions a bit). Have fun completely ruining any seriousness the game might have had.

* Agnus and Dante [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSEBAukcHaU wax Shakespearean]] in truly [[HamAndCheese hammy]] style before their fight, complete with a fitting background music and dramatic lighting effects. What seemed like a gloomy and abandoned opera house at first became a stage when the spotlight suddenly shines on Agnus, then Dante decides to act appropriately to the location, complete with his own lines. In the Gallery menu, this cutscene is even hilariously titled "Agnus Redux".

* In the Special Edition, the opening cutscene for the Lady/Trish campaign starts off as a re-enactment of the regular story's midgame cutscene wherein Dante, Lady and Trish are talking about the Order of the Sword. During the discussion, the girls are taking pizza slices out of the box, but Dante isn't exactly paying attention to this detail. When the girls leave the Devil May Cry shop, Dante tries to grab a slice of pizza without even looking at the table behind him, but it took him quite a while to realize that the pizza box is already empty.

* In the Special Edition, the opening cutscene for the Lady/Trish campaign starts off as a re-enactment of the regular story's midgame cutscene wherein Dante, Lady and Trish are talking about the Order of the Sword. During the discussion, the girls are taking pizza slices out of the box, but Dante isn't exactly paying attention to this detail. When the girls leave the Devil May Cry shop, Dante tries to grab a slice of pizza from behind without even looking at the table behind him, but it took him quite a while to realize that the pizza box is already empty.

* Dante meets Gloria, and what does he do? Burst out laughing and saying that "that regal look suits [her]." This is because he knows she is Trish.

** When Dante is taking on the She-Viper Echidna, she shoots her seed pods at him, and he kicks them right back at her. After they bounce off her head, we have this exchange which brings to mind Dante's memetic question from Mission 7:
---> '''Echidna:''' What the... [''the last pod hits her, which leads to her saying in a '''supremely''' pissed off tone''] ''Who the '''HELL''' are you?!''

--> '''Dante:''' [[MemeticMutation WHAT THE HELL IS THIS]]?!?
** And then later, when Dante is taking on the Echidna... She shoots her seed pods at him, and he kicks them right back at her. After they bounce off her head...
---> '''Echidna:''' What the... [''the last pod hits her, which leads to her saying in a '''supremely''' pissed off tone''] ''Who the '''HELL''' are you?!''

** Dante then acquires Pandora after defeating Dagon. After it turns into a few different ranged weapons, it turns into... Dante closes the lid hastily, breathes a sigh of relief, and the floor just breaks.
* To be frank, ANY battle that involves Dante fighting with the previous bosses that Nero didn't kill are epic.

* At one point, Nero is faced with a life-sized board game where he has to knock around an oversized dice to move a figure shaped like him across the board. Nero doesn't exactly react too strongly to that, but he surprisingly goes along with it without batting an eyelash. When Dante reaches the very same room, he casually and nonchalantly walks as the board game prepares itself to do the same thing for him, full with a Dante figure. Dante shows his utter lack of patience for that gimmicky bullshit and cuts down the dice, triggering a battle gauntlet instead.

* In the sword section tutorial battle after Sanctus's assassination, Nero revs his Order sword and asks Dante why he's packing a huge sword if he's not going to use it. Dante's response? Silently pulling out Rebellion, stabbing it in the ground, and fake revving the hilt like Nero just did.
** How Dante just messes with Nero the entire fight and can NoSell everything, even getting his own sword though his chest [[RunningGag again]].
** Some have pointed out that, since The Order worships Sparda and Dante is Sparda's half-human son, that the entire intro is effectively the equivalent of [[ItMakesSenseInContext Jesus dropping into a Catholic mass and shooting the Pope in the head.]]

* Dante faces Dagon. Unlike how Nero meets Bael's [[AlluringAnglerfish Rusalka "lures"]] for the first time (since they're the same kind), Dante is VERY happy to see Daegon's "lures" and [[ItAmusedMe even tries to]] [[TwinThreesomeFantasy flirt with them]]. But he manages to avoid Daegon's attack, thus leading to this conversation. The comment about the smell is made even funnier if you notice that, just before the battle, Dante plugs his nose.
--> '''Daegon:''' What? How did you know? \\

'''Daegon:''' Insult me one more time and I'll make you suffer more than you thought possible.

* Dante trying out the newly-acquired Lucifer. It's filled with [[DoubleEntendre innuendos]]... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK6UaPnRYcc "FIRST, I WHIP IT OUT!"]]

* There’s something darkly humorous about the fact that while Nero is having his entire world being turned upside down, unveiling the corruption of the islands corrupt and his adoptive brothers involvement, questioning his own humanity and generally having an awful time, Dante is just goofing around with the whole thing being compared to a holiday for him by the likes of the Gaming Brit.

* In general, Heaven Or Hell mode. Aside from the catharsis factor of defeating every enemy with a single hit, it makes the entire story into a joke. ''Every'' single boss starts off with a big introductory cutscene, claiming that they'll kill Dante/Nero... and then they go down in one shot. Depending upon their death animation -- Agnus', for example, has him flying across the room and screaming that he's an angel whilst struggling to pull himself up -- it can make it look like each boss has a bad case of MinorInjuryOverreaction.

** How Dante just messes with Nero the entire fight and can NoSell everything, even getting his own sword though his chest again.

** When Nero has Dante on the ground and is repeatedly punching him in the face it's obvious, if it wasn't already, that Dante has been holding back immensely. That said he does seem to be getting a bit annoyed as his devil trigger flickers on a couple times before he decides to ''not'' just annihilate the poor kid with it. This choice leads to the ''Devil May Cry'' tradition of Dante being impaled by Rebellion at least once a game.

* The Savior is revealed, and it's a gigantic creature that would normally herald a MassOhCrap from the cast of any other game. Dante's only reaction is an unimpressed "Check it out. It's got wings!"
** Trish agrees. "The design shows a terrible taste."
* Dante acquires Pandora. After it turns into a few different ranged weapons, it turns into... Dante closes the lid hastily, breathes a sigh of relief, and the floor just breaks.
** Speaking of which, before acquiring it, Dante faces Dagon. Unlike how Nero meets Bael's [[AlluringAnglerfish "lures"]] for the first time (since they're the same kind), Dante is VERY happy to see Daegon's "lures" and [[ItAmusedMe even tries to]] [[TwinThreesomeFantasy flirt with them]]. But he manages to avoid Daegon's attack, thus leading to this conversation:

* Gloria defeating a small horde of demons by herself and sees a demon jumping toward her from behind, only for Nero to shoot it out of the air instead.
