* Normally, we really don't put one character here and call it a day, but with ''[[RealityWarper Peacock]]'', that is probably the quickest way to actually get it done for listing Peacock's moments of humor. Case in point, her attacks, all being based around cartoon-ish ideas, ranging from POKING the character, [[EpicFail MISSING a football kick]] [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]]-style, [[MusicalAssassin singing a DEADLY note on a rock guitar]], pulling characters into a BigBallOfViolence, using miniature '''CANNONS''', using AbnormalAmmo for her guns like baseballs, ''BOWLING BALLS'', and '''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros BULLET BILLS]]''', and even having one of her ShadowOfImpendingDoom attacks be Avery on a '''''STEAMROLLER!''''' She has to be seen in gameplay to be believed.

* Black Dahlia's story mode may be a [[NightmareFuel very jarring]] [[TheBadGuyWins tonal shift]] from the other two in the season 1 pass, but that doesn't mean it lacks it's funny moments. The ''[[ArtifactOfDoom Skull Heart]]'' of all things is made into a ButtMonkey as it tries repeatedly to get someone to make a wish on it to no avail, in a vein similar to Peacock's scrapped story mode ending. And could anyone have guessed that Black Dahlia's story mode is where we would get the canonical debut of ''[[AprilFoolsDay Fuk]]''''[[LethalJokeCharacter ua?]]''
** Fukua doesn't disappoint just because she's reached canon status either. Her dialogue mostly consists of her trying to warn everyone about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt - which might be rather serious if it was anyone else and at a different time, but there is just ''so'' much more going on when she shows up that her dialogue is absurdly out of place to the point of hilarity. Though, it becomes a bit ''less'' funny when you reach [[ApocalypseHow the end of Black Dahlia's story mode]] [[CassandraTruth and realize it wasn't a joke.]]
** Ms. Fortune [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath getting crushed into the Life Gem like she is at the end of Cerebella's story mode?]] Horrifying. The fact that it happens so ''abruptly,'' at the hands of Robo-Fortune's so-called "trash compacter" mode? ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice Hilarious.]]''

* One of Black Dahlia's Blockbusters, Parting Gift, has her toss a batch of dynamite that sticks to any character in its throwing arc. And when we say "any character", we do also in fact mean ''your assists'', enabling them to become... ''acceptable collateral'', as some might say. On top of that, after spending another bar to perform the super again, Dahlia pulls out the detonator... and won't hit the switch until you press a button (at the cost of one more bar of meter draining, at which point she hits it automatically). Gotta wait for just the right time, after all!
