* The Saints are starting to become a problem for Santo Ileso and the local police department need a solution to keep tabs on them. The solution? Vans that, to their credit ''are'' well-hidden… until you actually see the vans themselves and wonder how [[WithCatlikeTread they thought the]] [[PaperThinDisguise were being slick]]. Look at the page image above for an example.

!! Prologue



'''Boss:''' Bite me!

* Boss clearly isn't fond of Eli eschewing actual music in favor of Roger [=McGillicutty=]'s sermons, as they tell Eli that, one of these days, they'll get him to listen to actual music. To which Eli responds by saying, "Roger [=McGillicutty=] speaks the music of [his] soul". Keep in mind they're listening to this ''on the way to their heist''.
** Before the deed, Eli tries to ask Boss for a gun, only for them to ask Eli if he ''really'' wants to use a gun after [[NoodleIncident what happened]] [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace last time when he did]]. Eli immediately corrects himself and says he doesn't need a gun.
** After stealing the money -
---> '''Boss:''' Same plan as last time. Eli, Kev - pretend traffic laws matter and get the money home. Neenah and I will split up and give the cops the runaround.\\
'''Eli:''' Cool! Let me get the [=McGillicu=]--\\

** When the Boss finally gets back in their car to draw the cops' attention, they take the opportunity to ''immediately'' shut off [=McGillicutty=]'s sermons with an [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe exasperated]], "Oh, fuck no."

The Dust Rod Campaign



** Infiltrating Fort Firebird via stealth. That is, Eli giving the Boss a "stealth potion," and them holding their arms up in front of them upon which all of the mooks who [[HighlyVisibleNinja can completely see the Boss]] have to ignore them for the sake of following the rules. The "stealth kills" are even funnier, with the Boss chopping someone in the neck with a foam finger, whispering the names of their techniques like ripping out someone's throat, or using the cheap "stab someone by sticking something between their chest and their arm" trick.

! The Dust Rod Campaign
* The entire concept is hilarious: a post-apocalyptic [=LARP=] event played by most everyone in the city, featuring YeOldeButcheredEnglish, cardboard foam "bullets" and weapons and armor, plus hilarious new takedown animations and enemy "deaths" where everyone mimes giving or receiving serious, lethal injury. Specific moments from the Boss's campaign for the crown are particularly funny, however:

** In attempting to steal the "Bowelrod," a "mythical beast" (van with cardboard decorations and a megaphone) of legend, the Boss, Eli, and Neenah end up having to recover pieces of its "body" while Neenah does the "ritual" to bring it back to life. It happens over the course of several waves of mooks, all while Neenah tries to pronounce the ridiculous, nonsensical, and absurdly lengthy verses to honor the rules and keep them from being disqualified.
** The death of the Dust Storm King. The Boss busts into their "throne room" (a convenience store) with a foam shotgun and then demands the King yield. When he refuses, the Boss is compelled to shoot him. The King "dies", dramatically screaming as he grabs a ketchup bottle and starts spraying "blood" everywhere. Then the Boss shoots him again. Once more, in a different pose, the King "bleeds out" and lets out his dying wail. Then the Boss shoots him a third time, this time bent over with their ass up and their head near the floor to be funny, upon which the King falls on the wall and slowly slumps over. The Boss then shoots the King one final time in a tactical position on the floor, upon which the King "mysteriously" teleports from the wall back to his "throne" (several boxes of soda cans stacked together) and DiesWideOpen. Until the Boss takes his crown, tells him to move, then knocks him off his seat to have their AwesomeMomentOfCrowning.

As it turns out not only is it (unsurprisingly) stolen Marshall tech, but it's also an old design, having been around ''since TheEighties''.

* There's also quite a few giggles to be had in both showcases of the game's customization.
** One of the {{Freeze Frame Bonus}}es in the Ultimate Customization Trailer features a cameo from [[Franchise/{{Shrek}} Shrek]] himself.
** You can turn your assault rifle into an ''umbrella'' of all things.
** If the umbrella isn't enough, you can also turn your baseball bat into a pinata stick.
** If you thought the Pimp Slap from ''[[VideoGame/SaintsRow1 SR1]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/SaintsRow2 SR2]]'' was good, you can turn your pistols into [[FingerGun foam fingers]]! Pew pew!

!!Trailers
* The reveal trailer has a few.
** Kevin's BrutalHonesty and distraction while Eli and Neenah sneak into the car containing the [=RPGs=].
** Eli's shit-eating grin after he and Neenah make off with the Panteros' weaponry.
** The Boss popping out of a fried chicken food truck guns blazing with a minigun.
** Kevin's [[{{Squee}} reaction]] to Neenah driving the getaway car cross across the rooftops... ''backwards.''
* A lot of the {{Freeze Frame Bonus}}es in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAForu70Hb8 Districts of Santo Ileso trailer]] have quite a few {{Punny Name}}s to them.
** The [[Series/DoctorWho Turdis]] from the ''[[VideoGame/SaintsRowIV How the Saints Saved Christmas]]'' DLC (which is an easily missable EasterEgg) makes its return.
** There's a building with a bee in its logo for a company called "DSM". [[DontExplainTheJoke When you see it...]]
** There's a location that's called the '''S'''chool of '''A'''rchitecture and '''D'''esign. FunWithAcronyms, much?
** Big Vig's Payday Loans has a [[VisualPun shark]] in its logo.
** There's also a location named ''Pawn Hub''. We don't even ''need'' to explain that one.[[labelnote:But if we must...]] It's a reference to [[TheInternetIsForPorn PornHub]], in case you're wondering. [[/labelnote]]

!!Meta/Other
* [[WordOfGod According to Volition]], the entire plot is essentially a start-up group of college students looking to start a criminal empire... to pay off their student loans. At the very least that idea is amusing enough to work. That and, well, something similar [[Series/BreakingBad has already been done before]], to great effect.
