* The tidbit given for Argus before you go fight it states how it fell into the valley, and sure enough Wander encounters it just as it's climbing out. After fourteen battles where the colossi are depicted as nothing less than powerful and dangerous beings, the idea that one as imposing as Argus just sort of... accidently fell off a cliff is chuckle worthy to say the least.

Merged two identical bits together


** On top of the cliff over looking Barba's lair, you can grab onto a large hawk and go for a ride. However, the hawk's path will eventually take you back around to where it got close enough to grab... meaning that Wander will get slammed into the cliff face if you don't let go ahead of time.
** The area just outside of Barba's lair has a bunch of tortoises crawling around on the ground. Wander can trip over them.
*** The cliff face directly across from it is one of the spots where you can grab onto a hawk and go for a ride. If your grip gauge is big enough, the hawk will eventually swoop around and slam Wander into the cliff itself, Loony Tunes-style.
** He tends to trip over himself when climbing up sloped objects.

** He can be made to slip out of Agro's saddle and ride squatting on her side. ''Why'' he would want to do this is unclear (it has no gameplay purpose), but he looks simultaneously awesome and completly ridiculous while doing it. As a bonus, the animation for him getting back into the saddle after this is an awkward flop.

* It can be quite amusing swiming around Pelagia (#12) to get to its back as it also turns to try to shoot you, making it chase its tail.

* The various ways Wander can be thrown large distances include losing his grip (or letting go) as a colossus is thrashing, trick hawk-riding, and [[TooDumbToLive shooting an explosive arrow at his own feet]]. While sometimes requiring some creativity to pull off, ''all'' of these are ''really'' funny to watch.

* During the intro, when the shadow figures approach Wander and Mono at the altar, Wander draws the Ancient Sword and points it at them threateningly, causing them to pull away. When you take control of Wander and realize that he is very obviously an archer and has no idea how to use a sword, you realize that [[WeaponForIntimidation that was Wander bluffing and hoping the apparently non-mortal weapon will scare them off]].



** She also has a habit of just running away while Wander is fighting a Colossus, adding a layer of [[FunnyBackgroundEvent humor]] to the whole event. Agro just projects a sheer "screw this I'm out of here" vibe when this occurs.

* You can have a lot of fun when you acquire the Invisible Cloak, first by riding Agro around while it seems like she's steering herself. Then a few colossi have some interesting reactions when you become invisible in the middle of battle, such as making confused sounds and searching about for you while you can stand right in front of them. Also when you engage Avion (the fifth colossus) which is standing with its wings in the wir, put the cloak on and it will fold the wings instead.

* The main source for humour in the ''Shadow of the Colossus'' is one simple fact: Wander is very clumsy. It's one of his more endearing traits.

* Don't think there's humor to be found in this game? The potential for it is there, if you care to look.

** The area just outside of Barba's lair has a bunch of tortoises crawling around on the ground. Wander will sometimes trip over them.
* Wander's tendency to trip over himself can lead to a few chuckles when trying to walk up some sloped objects; he will essentially trip his way up the slope in a derpy fashion.
