History Funny / GrimFandango

* Olivia's open mic poem, riffing on the beat-poetry of days gone by: Ashes, to ashes, to ashes, to ashes, to ashes, to me, to ashes, to ashes, to ashes.

* Manny can sneak up on Domino at The End of the World with a variety of different kinds of weapons or tools. Dommy will just raise a gun as if to FingerWag Manny until he puts the item away. However, if Manny tries to threaten Dommy with the "L'il Chipper" (a pick axe smaller than the palm of his hand), Domino takes out the gun and starts saying the same line as when you approach him with a weapon, [[DoubleTake and then giggle and say "All right, you can keep the tiny hammer."]]

* Just about anything Glottis says: "Manny, until now we scraped along the ground like rats, but from now on, we soar! Yeah... like ''eagles!'' On... ''[[{{Dissimile}} pogo sticks!]]''"

** At first, Domino takes out the gun and starts saying the same line as when you approach him with a weapon. Then [[DoubleTake he realizes how ridiculous the L'il Chipper is as a weapon]].
* Using the scythe on the suit of armor in the vault will make Manny shake his scythe at him and say "You want a piece of Calavera, suit?"

--->'''Bruno:''' '''[[YouExclamation YOU!]]''' ''You'' were the guy who packed me in there. You could have at ''least'' given me a magazine. Four years with nothing to read but '''this damn mug'''! What are you doing here? And if you were headed this way, why didn't you offer me a '''''lift'''''? Ah, phooey. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm getting out of here - this world is for suckers!]]

** Eventually, Carla gets upset and tosses the detector, ranting at Manny WhyWontYouRavishMe

-->'''Manny:''' How's the flow tonight?
-->'''Lupe:''' [[AccidentalPun We're dead tonight, Manny.]] Everybody's back home for the Day of the Dead, I guess...except for the casino. The casino's hopping. Why is it that all the people who don't go home are the same people who just love to gamble?
-->'''Manny:''' Well, I guess when you've got nothing to go home to, you've got nothing to lose.
-->'''Lupe:''' Hey, we should put that over the door!

* If you improvise a poem, the crowd will hiss and boo it (or snap in approval if they think you'tr s revolutionary). Olivia will read the ''same'' lines as you, and the crowd will love it. Afterwards, Manny will accuse her, "HEY, you stole my poem." Olivia will have an offhanded reply to it, like "It was an ''{{homage}}''."

'''Alexi:''' I despised it. It was too short and said nothing to me, like my father.\

-->'''Manny:''' Maybe you should go up there to kick [open-mic night] off.
-->'''Olivia:''' Oh Manny, read poetry in my own club? That'd be like this whole place is a big temple built to worship... me.
-->'''Manny:''' Oh, come -
-->'''Olivia:''' (''immediately'') Okay!

-->'''Manny:''' ALRIIIIIGHT!! WHO'S READY TO ROCK AND ROOOOLLLL?!
-->''({{beat}} of awkward, unimpressed silence)''

---->'''Manny:''' ''(brightly)'' Hi! What's ''your'' name!
---->'''Manny:''' [[IncrediblyLamePun Oh, look! Deadbeats!]]

*** Then there's the way Manny greets some of the beatniks.

*

-->'''Manny:''' Give me that!

* Just about anything Glottis says: "Manny, until now we scraped along the ground like rats, but from now on, we soar! Yeah... like ''eagles!'' [[{{Dissimile}} On... ''pogo sticks!]]''"

* Meta Example: in the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen original script]] for ''VideoGame/GrimFandango'', Creator/TimSchafer mentions the UnresolvedSexualTension between Manny and Carla in Year 2. This is followed by an embolded disclaimer: "A Note on Skeleton Sex: The official ''VideoGame/GrimFandango'' policy is [[YouDoNotWanttoKnow "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."]]
* In the ''Remastered'' Director's Commentary, Tim Schaefer told [=Peter McConnell=] that yes, SteamPunk was around in the 90's.

** Bruno is a source of fun. He doesn't even qualify for a walking stick - he's packed in a ''casket'' for a four year trip as ''luggage'', though you do give him a complimentary gift: a mug reading "Today Is The First Day of the ''End'' of Your Life!" Later, in Year 4, [[BrickJoke you find Bruno's casket]]. When it opens, it's the same tinkling sound you heard when freeing him from his mortal body. His reaction to seeing you is absolutely priceless.
