!!''Tools of Destruction'':



'''Tachyon''': ''(clearly irritated, [[RuleOfThree pulls the cord one more time]])'' ''...TO RISE AGAIN!'' ''(the Dimensionator works)''

!!''Quest for Booty'':
* Ratchet's scream upon being shot out of a cannon is a good moment-- particularly since he goes from ScreamsLikeALittleGirl to laughing maniacally midway through.

* A lot of the interactions between Slag and Pete in the storybook segments are pretty good. The best examples are:
-->'''Slag''': Skip to the part about the curse!\\
'''Pete''': WHOA! Spoiler alert!
** Pete in particular, is a goldmine.
--->'''Pete''': [Slag] took the lombax's female friend captive! Which, of course, multiplies the drama by... like... four!\\
'''Slag''': Pete! What have I told you about usin' math? That there's grounds for a plank walkin'!
** "And now, the final chapter in our gripping saga! Events do not occur in real time."
** And then there's the ending, where we see exactly where Pete and Slag have been narrating from: a crate bobbing on the water, with Pete using a plank to row back to Hoolifar.
--->'''Pete:''' Wanna hear it again?\\
'''Slag''': I didn't wanna hear it the first time, ye mangy ol' bucket o' bolts!\\
'''Pete:''' Alright, alright. No need to get cross.\\
'''Slag:''' I'll quit yellin' when you find me a new body! Now start rowin'! Row! Row! Row!\\
'''Pete''': Oh! Let me guess! Row?\\
'''Slag:''' Shut up!

* TheReveal for the game, which also counts as a MoodWhiplash. We learn that Clank is comatose, and the Zoni have hired Dr. Nefarious to repair him. Nefarious begins to march down a flight of stairs to moody music... then trips on a feather duster and falls down in a comedic way, with the music suddenly stopping.
--> '''Nefarious''': '''''LAWRENCE!!!'''''

While ''Tools of Destruction'' may be more of a story- and drama-driven game than the entries seen before it... it's [[Funny/RatchetDeadlocked (again)]] still a ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'' game.

* Ratchet's "Mustachio Furioso" disguise for the arena on Mukow (pictured above) comprised of [[PaperThinDisguise a pair of goofy glasses and a mustache]]. It works well enough for the Drophyds not to notice.

[[caption-width-right:350: ''"Engaging cryosleep."'']]

* When the ship Ratchet and Clank stole from Tachyon flies away into space:
-->'''Computer:''' Engaging cryosleep.\\
'''Ratchet''': Cryosleep? Nah, nah, there's no way I'm gonna--*snore*\\
'''Clank''': [[AsideComment It is fortunate cryosleep does not work on robots.]] ''(chuckles)''\\
''(A cartoon boxing glove springs out of the console and socks Clank in response to the above)''

* After obtaining the Robo-Wings:
-->'''Ratchet''': Clank, have you been upgrading yourself in secret?\\
'''Clank''': Absolutely not. [[DeadpanSnarker And I do not care much for your tone.]]

* The computer for the escape pod Ratchet and Clank take to Fastoon: "Touchdown in 5... 4..." (lands) "Oops! 3-2-1!"

* Ratchet's "Mustachio Furioso" disguise for the arena on Mukow (pictured above) comprised of [[PaperThinDisguise a pair of goofy glasses and a mustache]]. It works well enough for the Drophyds not to notice.

* Despite (or because of) the awkward subject matter, this exchange:
-->'''Clank''': What are "[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar stones]]"? ''(checks chest compartment)'' Do I have them?\\
'''Ratchet''': I'll tell you later... and no.

* Another gem can be found on Rykan V after viewing the informational reel for the Lombax Center for Advanced Research. To wit:
-->'''Ratchet''': The Lombax Secret is... a hat. Oh come on, [[TemptingFate no lombax would ever invent something that]] ''[[HypocriticalHumor ridiculous]]''!\\
'''Clank''': Oh really? [[CallBack What about your Nuclear Powered Rocket Sled?]] [[NoodleIncident Your Antimatter Bathroom Buddy? And let us not forget about the electro-shock undergarments you invented last fall.]]\\
'''Ratchet''': Stunderwear! ''Huge'' seller on Umbris.
** This only becomes better when you realize that, when we were given the opportunity to explore Umbris in the original ''Ratchet & Clank'', the only sentient lifeform present was Captain Qwark.
** Just before this, we have the Lombaxes' information video on the Dimensionator. Beyond a bunch of rampant TechnoBabble, we have this gem near the end:
--->'''Narrator''': ''([[DissonantSerenity very calmly]])'' In the unlikely event that the Dimensionator [[BreadEggsMilkSquick creates a time-space singularity and tears the fabric of the universe asunder]], [[DevelopmentGag please log an "A" bug and notify a programmer immediately.]]

* The Plumber's usual appearance-- from [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall "Almost didn't recognize you in high-def"]] all the way to his-- ahem-- ''[[ToiletHumour exit]]''. That scene was absolutely ''hysterical''...Ratchet probably summed it up the best, really: "What just ''happened''?"

* Towards the end of the game, just before the WhamEpisode, we get this gem during the halo jump onto [[VillainWorld Reepor]].
-->'''Cronk''': This reminds me of the time we did a HALO jump with a Lombax and his metal buddy into the Cragmite homeworld. Ah, Zeph, when was that?\\
'''Zephyr''': Ah, for crying out loud, it's happening right now, you darn fool!

* A scene that can be easily missed because of the [[WhamEpisode dramatic circumstances]] it occurs in: When Tachyon activates the Dimensionator, it unfolds into a contraption several times larger than him. As it's strapped to his head, Tachyon is now severely top-heavy, and visibly struggles to stay upright while delivering his dramatic monologue.
** Said contraption also has a ''punching glove'' and a ''Lombax teddy bear'' coming out of it.
** What happens just before is also hilarious: Tachyon tries to activate the Dimensionator, but it turns out that old Lombax technology can be a bit tacky sometimes:
--->'''Tachyon''': ''(dramatically)'' I have waited years for this moment. Finally, the time has come for the Cragmites ''to rise again''! ''(pulls the Dimensionator's startup cord)''\\
''([[{{Beat}} nothing happens]])''\\
'''Tachyon''': Ahem. ''(dramatically, while pulling the cord again)'' ''...To rise again''!\\
''(again, nothing happens, brief cuts to the faces of an impatient Ratchet, a confused Qwark and finally Tachyon with a deadpan expression)''\\
'''Tachyon''': ''(clearly irritated, [[RuleOfThree pulls the cord one more time]])'' ''...TO RISE AGAIN!'' ''(the Dimensionator works)''
