* Near the start of Sector Grus, the player can run into an Archangel that is getting frustrated with all the illusions... before then making it clear that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial they are in fact absolutely not lost]].

* In [[ThatOneLevel Sector Eridanus]], you'll come across Jimenez passed out on a trap floor that [[StandardStatusEffects puts you to sleep]], with Bugaboo jumping around frantically, trying to get you to help him. The hero tries shaking Jimenez. No luck. Then he tries punching him. No luck. Then he [[NoKillLikeOverkill kicks him so hard the screen shakes]]. ''That'' wakes him up. And one of the first things Jimenez says? "For some reason, I'm aching all over."

* The fact that NewGamePlus allows you to fuse what is strongly suggested to be YHVH via Metatron and the Demiurge, meaning that not only does God get beaten by you again into submission, but you have the chance to pull off the resurrection of him, a not to the franchise's title. And there's some added hilarity in him joining you in taking out Shekinah, given that [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she was trying to create a world dedicated to worshipping him through her as a medium.]]

* ''Redux'' adds and changes a few special passwords. One of them summons a specialized Mara, and in the original game the password was the name of a staff member, [[spoiler:"Nich [[PunnyName Mara]]gos"]]. The password in ''Redux'', however? [[spoiler:"Thanks [[Website/{{Reddit}} r/megaten]]"]].

* A retrospective one, by the time you reach the Sixth Sphere of the Womb of Grief. If you've been keeping up with Demonee-Ho's requests, he issues his final one here: [[spoiler:You do battle with his true form -- Zaou-Gongen. It's rather amusing to imagine such a badass character behaving like the DrillSergeantNasty Demonee-Ho is, and Zaou-Gongen has been rather amused himself with keeping up the act.]]

* The music coming to a dead stop for a few seconds when Anthony [[spoiler: admits he's in love with a demon]].
** ''Four times''. And the way most of the demons respond to his affections is quite funny.
** For example, when you have to hunt down the young-looking demoness Moh Shuvuu to tell her about his crush on her. She mocks him mercilessly, calling him a failure as a man and as a human being for crushing on her, and that while she enjoys eating the brains of humans, eating Anthony's brains would probably make her dumb. After the PC finishes talking to her, she takes her leave, laughing maniacally all the way.
