History Funny / FinalFantasyIV

* The secret gentlemens' club in Troia was a great dancing girl show in the original game. In ''The After Years'', Palom can enter it. Those who played the original will remember the dancing girl show. Just as the show starts, the dancers suddenly turn into old ladies, complete with ScareChord. Throughout the 'dance number', it plays the "Suspicion" music. Serves as NightmareFuel for Palom when the old ladies drag him up on stage, kicking and screaming for Lenora to help him before blacking out.

* Cecil ends up alone (again), and the only reachable town is Mysidia, i.e. the town he attacked in the prologue. Needless to say, the townsfolk are still salty about that, and speaking to the various mages will get Cecil shrunk or turned into a frog or a pig.

* While the scene which immediately follows is undoubtedly a {{Tearjerker}}, the short conversation Edge has with his corrupted parents before fighting them is [[{{Narm}} a bit hilarious]]:

'''Edge:''' Don't worry, goodness is my middle name.

** Edge arrives first to greet Cecil, then tries to flirt with Rosa, causing Cid to drag him away.

* Golbez in the [=J2E=] [[GagDub gag translation]] is quite the [[LaughablyEvil comedian]]. Newer versions made him more serious.

* Palom and Porom's antics. Special mention goes to Palom criticizing Baigan's attempts to win Cecil's trust. From the [=J2E=] translation:

* Cid has some real gems in the [=J2E=] translation.

** After Cecil tells Rosa and Rydia to [[StayInTheKitchen stay home]], Edge makes a pretty condescending remark to Rydia. In the [=J2E=] version, she pretty much says she'd castrate anyone who spoke that way to her!

* Golbez in the original [=J2E=] patch is quite the [[LaughablyEvil comedian]]. Newer versions made him more serious.

* Edward and Cid are poor fighters. But in the remakes, if you level them up to 70, you are in for a treat. ''Is your file corrupt? Is this a sick practical joke by Square which won't go away?'' You will see Edward's health '''skyrocket''' at this point. Along with his other stats. Yang, on the other hand, will '''suffer''' in terms of HP. Making Apollo's Harp a front-row weapon was a ''really'' bizarre coding choice, as well. Intentional? Maybe...

* Cecil's reaction to the dancer in Fabul Castle transforming into a burly monk.

-->'''Cid:''' Has he [[HaveAGayOldTime been up your butt]], Rydia?\\

--> '''Tellah:''' You [[APerfectlyCromulentWord spoony]] bard!

--> [to Cecil] "[[Theater/AStreetcarNamedDesire Stellaaa!]] You're so beautiful! ...What!? ... [[DudeLooksLikeALady You're a man...!?]]"

-->'''Cid:''' Has he [[HaveAHayOldTime been up your butt]], Rydia?\\

--->'''Rydia:''' "Bastion of Virtue?" What the hell are you talking about? It's a miracle ''you'' weren't the one who was possessed by Zemus!

* Also, Palom and Porom's antics.
** Special mention goes to Palom criticizing Baigan's attempts to win Cecil's trust.
---> From the [=J2E=] translation:\\
'''Palom:''' I think Creator/WilliamShatner is more convincing than you.

** There's also the EasterEgg regarding what's obviously an ''adult magazine'' found in the Dwarves' Castle. "Using" it prompts Cecil's overworld sprite to look in the four directions (akin to someone trying to hide something) before saying: "That's what I call a piece of literature!"
*** In the DS version, picking up said magazine even comes with a SPECIAL FANFARE.

** Special mention goes to Palom commenting on Baigan trying to win Cecil's trust.
--> From the [=J2E=] translation:
--> '''Palom:''' I think [[Creator/WilliamShatner William Shatner]] is more convincing than you.

--> '''Cecil:''' My friend, I ask for your forgiveness...
--> ''*CLANK*''
--> '''Yang:''' ''*yawn*'' Is it time for training? [[FiveMoreMinutes Allow me to sleep a little more...]]
* Before that, we have Cecil's baffled thoughts during the Sylph Cave when returning with the Frying Pan to wake Yang up.
--> '''Cecil:''' Of course! With this we can... cook something?
* Who could forget the immortal {{Woolseyism}} from Tellah?
--> '''Tellah:''' You spoony bard!
* Dr. Lugae's battle.
--> '''Dr. Lugae''': WhatDoesThisButtonDo
--> ''[[SelfDestructMechanism *Self Destruct*]]''

--> "Stellaaa! You're so beautiful! ...What!? ... You're (Cecil) a man...!?"

--> From the [=J2E=] translation:
--> "I'm gonna get medieval on your ass!"
--> When he is arguing with Edge and Rydia tells Edge to shut up.
--> '''Cid:''' Has he been up your butt, Rydia?
--> '''Rydia:''' No, but he's been scratching ''his''.
--> '''Edge:''' Shut up!
* After the party defeats BigBad Zeromus:
-->'''Rydia:''' It's hard to believe Zemus didn't use ''you'' instead!
-->'''Edge:''' Don't worry, goodness is my middle name.
** The [=J2E=] translation is even better:
-->'''Rydia:''' "Bastion of Virtue?" What the hell are you talking about? It's a miracle ''you'' weren't the one who was possessed by Zemus!
* After Cecil tells Rosa and Rydia to [[StayInTheKitchen stay home]], Edge makes a pretty condescending remark to Rydia. In the [=J2E=] version, she pretty much says she'd castrate anyone who spoke that way to her!
* In the DS version, teaching [[BadassDecay Kain "Cry"]]. Teaching any of them actually. Edge, Cecil, (or with cheat codes) Dark Knight Cecil, Yang, Tellah, Cid or Edward. It's funny shit.
* Cecil ends up alone(again), and the only reachable town is Mysidia, I.e.: the town he attacked in the prologue. Needless to say, the townsfolk are still sore about that, and speaking to the various mages around will get Cecil shrunk or turned into a frog or pig.
* Edge's thoughts after Rydia learns to summon Bahamut:
-->'''Edge:''' Oh, man...Now I really better not make Rydia mad!

** [[ThatOneLevel Almost all of them are.]]
* After exposing the Fake King plot, Paladin Cecil can join in a dance with Baron's Dancing Girl. And in the DS version, it's absolutely hilarious; armor-clad, gallant, {{Bishounen}} Cecil copies ''all'' of the girl's movements; from the hops to the waves, to the ''hip thrusts''. It tops even the Dancing Girl Surprise in Fabul.

* Golbez in the original J2e patch is quite the [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan snarker]]. Newer versions make him more serious.
--> (during the first confrontation in Fabul) "Perfect settings for an introduction, don't you think? Well, perfect for me, anyway. You're all sprawled out on the ground and I'm about to take the crystal
--> In King Jiott's Crystal Room" "How could you possibly have known that I love having meteors dropped on my head?"
--> "Before I unmercifully and painfully slaughter you, wouldn't you love to know why I'm gathering the crystals?"

* While the scene that immediately follows it is a major {{Tearjerker}}, the short conversation Edge has with his corrupted parents before fighting them is a bit {{Narm}}y:
--> '''Queen Eblan:''' Come, Edge.
--> '''King Eblan:''' Yes...come with us.
--> '''Edge:''' With you? Where?
--> '''Queen Eblan:''' To HELL!!
--> ''*Dramatic music plays*''

* Try ''not'' laughing when Dr. Lugae orders Barnabas to attack... and Barnabas attacks Dr. Lugae. It's made even funny with the SpecialEffectFailure in the 3D versions where you see Barnabas swing ''towards'' your party.... yet hit someone who is clearly ''right'' next to him.
* The secret gentlemens' club in Troia was a great dancing girl show in the original game. In the After Years, Palom can enter it. Those who played the original would remember the dancing girl show. Just as the show starts, once the dancers get on stage, they suddenly turn into old ladies, complete with horror chord. Throughout the "dance number", it plays the ''Suspicion'' music. Serves as NightmareFuel for Palom when the old ladies drag him up on stage, kicking and screaming for Lenora to help him before blacking out.

* Waking Yang up from his coma is a great laugh in itself.

* Cecil getting shrunk and turned into a toad or a pig by various Mysidian mages. Really, any time those attacks hit an enemy in battle tend to be hilarious.

* In the DS version, teaching [[BadassDecay Kain "Cry"]]. Teaching any of them actually. Edge, Cecil, (or with cheat codes) Dark Knight Cecil, Yang, Tellah, or Edward. It's funny shit.
