** At the restaurant, we see Sausage Head is their best customer. Meanwhile, Beauty and Dandy are trying to blow open the safe and steal the profits. Dandy goes WAY overboard with the TNT mistaking, grams for kilograms, and they get blown up. All the money falls on Sausage Head, who doesn't even react to the literal cash windfall from the ceiling!

* If the player solves two of the three 5x5 puzzles in the HD Remaster, they get some illustrations of Officer Bailey dancing to the music. One illustration has him dancing [[GoKartingWithBowser with Commander Sith, Beauty, Dandy, Near-Sighted Jeego, One-Step-Ahead Tengo, and the Masked Muscleman]]. Another has him dancing with Missile, Kamila, Yomiel, Lynne, and Inspector Cabanela.

* Cabanela is just a walking.. er, dancing Funny Moment, baby. What with his dramatic way of draaaaaawling out his vowels and how he has to dance everywhere, maaaaan. Everything he does is with flair- slinging a gun, throwing a pocketwatch-slash-tracking device, sitting down (or pulling chairs out of {{hammerspace}} to sit down in), entering a room, he even ''dies'' in the most fabulous way he can by flipping dramatically and striking a pose even sillier than Yomiel's.

* Some of the early concept art in the HD Remaster's Illustrations section is pretty downright hilarious. One of the illustrations has paw prints on Yomiel's "shell", while another has Missile talking to Sissel the cat in their normal form, with Sissel all like "?" Another has some different designs for Yomiel's scrapyard junk persona, like the one where he was made of garbage cans and smelly garbage, which kinda grosses out both Lynne and Kamila.

** To clarify, you've got a split second to swap a bullet with a same-shaped object in the room. You're supposed to knock the hard hat down and move a knit hat around so it's hanging in the same place, but you can try swapping with the hard hat instead. In other words, you kill Cabanela by smacking him in the head with a hard hat, ''moving at the speed of a bullet.''
