* From the second game, the entire Wailord mini section. It starts with you being sent to the desert on a mission. Halfway through, your boat stops when water shoots from under it. You go under water, and Team Dim-Sun are capturing a Wailord. You determine it's a mission and save the Wailord. It turns out that Team Dim-Sun want it to replace the Oil Rig you destroyed in an earlier mission. After you free the Wailord, they run back to their boss with a Wailmer, which they claim is a new "Wailord Mini". He sees right through it.

** Even better? A Wailmer technically ''is'' a Wailord Mini, though understably, [[spoiler:Kincaid]] doesn't care that his subordinates are technically right.

* Burkhart generates these. The very first time you meet him, he's seen entering a building [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction with electricity jumping all over his body]] from a mishap at the Wireless Tower, and he jokes about it and ''offers to recharge your Styler with his electricity''. Made funnier by the Styler's Voice Nav warning against it, and then even funnier in that ''you can take Burkhart up on his offer'' ''[[CrazyAwesome and it works]]''.

The pier doesn't survive.

* After beating the main story of ''Shadows'' the PC's mother receives a "Quest Coupon" redeemable for one favor from any ranger. So what's the favor she asks from you? "Read me the recipe on the fridge." Not only is the fridge literally five feet away from where she's standing, but the recipe is also comically simple to remember ("Chop vegetables up and then boil them in water."). After doing it, you get a call from Prof. Hastings, telling you that it [[RefugeInAudacity counts as a quest clear and you get your upgrade]]. Crosses into Heartwarming when your mother explains that she did that because she figured you deserved an easy quest.

* In the same game, we also have part of the downloadable Darkrai mission. Two Dim Sun goons set up a trap that causes you to become locked in a room, with seemingly no way out. After you escape [[spoiler: with Darkrai's help]], you can go back to outside the room to see an optional scene. The two grunts have started to notice the lack of noise coming from the room. Needless to say, they unlock the door and step in to investigate, and needless to say, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard the door closes behind them and locks]].
