* Another LeaningOnTheFourthWall moment -- during your final dream sequence, [[spoiler:Dora will accuse you of treating conversations like lists to be cycled through. You can indignantly tell her that it's not a dialogue ''list'', but a tree.]]

** Later, it will suggest that you master the art of teleportation to overcome the obstacle of a highly rickety and unsafe ladder. Succeed the check, and bystanders will cry out in awe as you [[spoiler:climb it really fast with your eyes closed.]]

* On Day Two, you can spot a random woman standing outside a bookshop by herself, and decide, completely apropos of nothing, that she must have a missing husband you can offer to find. Somehow, the ensuing conversation results in you heading into the bookshop to try and decide what breed of cockatoo is your spirit animal. [[spoiler:It later turns into a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome when it transpires that your instincts were completely correct. Her husband ''was'' missing -- she just wasn't ready to admit it yet.]]

* When speaking with Lilienne the fisherwoman, she can suggest that you give your [[spoiler:police car]] a funeral -- but then immediately acknowledges that the whole task (presumably cut from the game by the developers) would "take too long" to set up. You can lean on the fourth wall by telling her that you only wish there'd been enough time for more 'frivolous' side-quests, like redeveloping the Doomed Commercial Area. [[spoiler:Kim is a little sad. He particularly liked the car idea.]]

* Later on, when you've probably begun to shape up your behaviour and redeem yourself as a human being, you can choose to shave off your mutton-chops, in a milestone moment of self-renewal and character development. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, as Kim gently tells you to your face, you look much ''worse'' when you're clean-shaven, and you'll be forced to go around with your new portrait for the entire rest of the game.]]
* On your way to the final confrontation, you can insist on blasting out music through your boombox from the prow of your motor-boat, and you get to see this play out in-game. [[spoiler:When you confront the murderer, he points out that he knew you were coming because he could ''hear'' the music -- and Kim will shame-facedly claim that he "told you not to do that". It isn't true.]]

'''Kim:''' ''(barely contains his chuckle)''\\

* Any time you make [[TheStoic Kim]] [[NotSoStoic laugh.]] :

'''Volition:''' I take it back. He's got it pretty, but this ''next guy's'' on another level entirely...\\

* When you first meet Klaasje -- the first NPC in the entire game -- you're given the option to try and seduce her. Failing the (somewhat difficult) Suggestion check will lead to you incoherently leering at her with the words, "I want to have fuck with you." Luckily, she takes it stride, and

* When you first meet Klaasje - the first NPC in the entire game - you're given the option to try and seduce her. Failing the Suggestion check will lead to you incoherently leering at her with the words, 'I want to have fuck with you.' She's very amused.

** If you fail, you'll attempt to introduce yourself as 'Raphael Ambrosius Costeau' - and you'll be able to keep it up for some time through the game.
* Your Savoir-Faire skill occasionally prompts you to take actions that are downright impossible - for example, 'slipping away unnoticed' from the cafeteria manager who's demanding damage payments. In practice, this just means turning and fleeing for the door while he cries out, 'Real mature, man,' after you.

* If you talk to Cuno about the insulting pig's head in his basement, you can tell him that you, too, have a pig's head (while pointing to your actual head) - but yours is ''shit''. This intensely odd bout of self-deprecation completely weirds him out.

** If you're a communist, you can give this same woman a hug with the cheerful words, 'A hug a day keeps the bourgeoisie away!'
* If you try and sing a sad karaoke song, but fail the Drama check, you'll screech out an utterly hideous dirge for a full thirty seconds as the camera drifts over the motionless crowd. Kim will very kindly tell you afterwards that the performance was 'genuinely tragic'.

Disco Elysium is the desolate story of a washed-up drunk, haunted by regret, searching for meaning in the mystery of a nameless corpse. It's also very, very funny.
