* The "Orientation video" Sigmund plays for Clank. It looks like a home movie, with the camera constantly shifting and going in and out of focus. It even starts with Orvus and Sigmund being confused on whether or not the camera is recording, with the view going on its side. And of course, this exchange when Orvus explains how the Fongoids caused a TimeCrash:
-->'''Orvus:''' Eons ago, our kind entrusted the Fongoids with a special gift. the gift of time travel. We had hoped it would enrich their lives as it did ours, but unfortunately-\\
'''Sigmund:''' They loused it up!\\
'''Orvus:''' ''(Stammers)'' Sigmund! Ahem. Let's just say they were overzealous in its use.

* There are two rooms in the Insomniac Museum that are [[InformedAttribute apparently]] restrooms. The ladies' is full of the ocular scanners from the Great Clock. And we do mean "full", far too many to be any kind of subtle. But that still pales in comparison to what's in the ''men's'' restroom: a giant picture of a [[CuteKitten cat]]...

With Dr. Nefarious reclaiming the spot of BigBad for this title and Captain Qwark being a dunderhead as usual (with the added bonus of space radio commercials), ''A Crack in Time'' continues the series' usual tradition, as epic a finale to the ''Future'' saga it may be.



** Hell, even the way he dies is pretty funny. As well as retaining his habit of transmitting a soap opera when he gets too worked up, he [[VillainousBreakdown breaks down]] and goes through various radio channels upon being defeated. Ratchet trying to slap some sense into him only makes him start dancing before he flops over.

* In the beginning of the game, Ratchet and Qwark are flying through space looking for Clank, and Qwark decides to monologue about the adventure, placing heavy emphasis on the fact that Ratchet's alone. Ratchet promptly reminds Qwark that the ship has an ejection function, with a tone that explicitly states he's about five seconds from using it on Qwark if he doesn't shut up.
** And, of course, there's the crashing sequence (pictured above) that follows that. It starts with Qwark panicking and referencing the old "Always wear clean underwear, because you never know what's going to happen" thing, and ends with...
