History Funny / TalesofSymphonia

** This one is almost as funny: You get it if Lloyd is poisoned after a battle, but Colette is not:

*** You can get that one even if Colette is poisoned too; she earns the title 'Oblivious' if you do so (not because of the speech, but rather you get the title whenever Colette spends a whole battle poisoned).

* When discussing how to retrieve the Spiritua Statue from Oda Geyser, Lloyd can either enthusiastically volunteer to go get it or wisely ponder how he's supposed to retrieve the statue without getting scalded. Picking the first option will get Lloyd lambasted by most of the party for not realizing what a geyser is and how dangerous they are. However, if Sheena is in the party during this scene, she will silently but with mouth agape realize that she had no idea [[BookDumb what a geyser was either.]] Picking this option even nets you more RelationshipValues points with Sheena in solidarity.

* Before getting the "Legend of Musashi" costumes for Kratos and Lloyd, Lloyd gives away major spoilers in the span of 4 seconds like Kratos being an angel, being his father (which Kratos actually [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments blushes!, and knifing them in the back]]. Tiga is all cool about it, too.

** From the second game:
--->'''Regal:''' Nice skills.\\
'''Emil:''' Nice moves.\\
'''Marta:''' Hey, what about me!?\\
'''Regal:''' Nice weapon.\\
'''Marta:''' That doesn't have anything to do with me!
** This after battle quote is especially funny:
---> '''Marta:''' There is no enemy before love!\\
'''Emil:''' So you lose if there's no love?\\
'''Marta:''' Yes, so tell me that you love me!\\
'''Emil:''' ...we can lose next time.\\
'''Marta:''' Emil!
** And this:
--->'''Zelos:''' Don't fall for me, honey!\\
'''Sheena:''' ''[uninterested]'' Never.\\
'''Marta:''' As if!\\
'''Emil:''' If you want, I'll introduce you to some of the female monsters.\\
'''Zelos:''' ''[defeated]'' God, this is just depressing...
** Lloyd once again raining on Zelos's parade just like in the last game:
--->'''Zelos:''' No one stands a chance against the great Zelos!\\
'''Lloyd:''' You mean, no one can stand YOU, right?\\
'''Zelos:''' Bu- That's what I was waiting for, bud!\\
'''Genis:''' He's just starving for attention...

* The skits in the second game are just as funny:
-->'''Tenabrae:''' You have now [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriended]] twenty-five monsters.\\
'''Emil:''' It's sorta sad.\\
'''Marta:''' What's wrong? Aren't you happy? Twenty-five monsters isn't bad!\\
'''Emil:''' Yeah, but this means I have more monster friends than Human ones.\\
'''Tenabrae:''' That is rather...\\
'''Marta:''' Yeah okay, that's sad.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goQMnWm7tEk This skit]] from ''Dawn of the New World'' is one of the funniest (except, for some, for Marta being the ClingyJealousGirl she is for the whole game).
* Not to mention the whole "nazdrovie" vs. "light-frog" naming debate...which Tenebrae is constantly on the wrong side of.
** Hell, half to three quarters of Tenebrae's dialogue is quite hilarious, especially in the Z-skits.
* Regal in general in the sequel.
** When he gets out of prison (again), he, being the strong man he is, snaps the handcuffs apart. He then turns said action into an ad for the company he is president of, explaining that if they had bought Lezareno Company handcuffs, he wouldn't have been able to do that.
** When Regal reveals that he's getting used to wearing handcuffs:
---> '''Sheena:''' It's the fact that you're used to it that worries me.
** When he discovers what one of his products, Eau Du Seduction, smells like (a villain is wearing it):
---> I'll send an order to the factory to halt production immediately.
* Remember Presea's and Regal's easily-missed "Paw Pad" skits and titles in the original? (Meeting Tenebrae is only the beginning.)
* The SpotTheImposter moment in the sequel, when Emil finally discovers the truth about what's going on with the supposed "Lloyd is being a crazy psycho and destroying towns" thing. In a pretty epic scene with two Lloyds duelling each other, one of them is spouting all these cliched lines about justice and making the right choice, while the other one is comparatively much calmer and level-headed. The imposter is, of course, the former. But even if you never played the original, you'd be able to tell which one is the imposter for the simple fact that ''he's bouncing on the balls of his feet wearing a real-life ":D" expression.''
* Decus's introduction. Praying to the goddess for Alice to fall in love with him, then accusing Emil of having a crush on him, and finally forcing Eau de Seduction on Emil. Emil then asks "What was that guy?" No, not who; ''what''.
* The "curse" that would befall anyone who opened the iron maiden before it granted its wish was both this and SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. And of course, who would question something like that coming from the EmotionlessGirl? Oh, and of course, even if the Vanguard hadn't fallen for it, it was still rigged up so that it would appear empty if opened by someone who didn't know the trick. Presea pretty much made that up just for the hell of it. Repeat: ''the EmotionlessGirl'' did something just for the lulz--and didn't break her [[TheStoic stoic]] nature once, even after the guys she was pranking had left.
* In the sequel, the first words out of Zelos' mouth when he meets Sheena are "Hey Mrs. Jubblees!"
* In the second game, one of the Iselia villagers after the human ranch mentions that he heard that Raine spanked Paul after the party found him... and then ponders about going to school again.
* When Regal ambushes Zelos at the end of the Meltokio sewers, this occurs:
-->'''Regal:''' We're here on the Pope's orders.
-->'''Zelos:''' ...Oh... hey, Lloyd! If you abandon me here, I swear, I'll come back to haunt you!
-->'''Lloyd:''' [[DeadpanSnarker ...I just had a sudden, violent urge to abandon you.]]


* Presea does plenty for the lulz, even in the first game, even when she's still actually emotionless. Most of the time, this involves [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] at people in her robot voice. For example, after Zelos tries to use a metaphor:

* After the first fight with Sheena, a skit can bee triggered wherein Lloyd compares Sheena's gi to his dwarf-made clothes, claiming they're kind of similar. Kratos' reaction just screams "''This'' is how my son grew up?"

-->'''Kratos''': [[FacePalm "Ugh! First Aid!"]]
** Which can also be Fridge Brilliance: [[spoiler:It's foreshadowing that Kratos is an Angel. After all, the process of becoming one means losing one's sense of taste.]]

-->'''Lloyd''': But [[ExtremityExtremist knowing you]], you probably cooked it with your feet.
-->'''Regal''': Of course.
-->''(ReactionShot of Lloyd)''
-->'''Regal''': That was a joke.
-->'''Lloyd''': [[TheComicallySerious It doesn't sound like a joke when you say it!]]

--> '''Yuan''': ...and just who the hell are you?
--> '''Lloyd''': Give me your name, and I shall give you mine!
--> '''Yuan''': Hahaha! You certainly have guts! But I'm afraid I don't see the need to introduce myself to a miserable little creature like you.
--> '''Lloyd''': [without missing a beat] What a coincidence. 'Cause I don't see a need to introduce myself either to a moron who doesn't realize how pathetic he is.
--> '''Yuan''': Why you little--

--> '''Genis''': Oh, I get it. You're going to see if a Gnomlette can really taste or--
--> '''Raine''': *hits Genis* And just what is that supposed to mean? I'd be happy to make it, Lloyd.

* If you have Kratos in the party when you're going to complete the Alfread sidequest in the game; he will see Lloyd get ripped off by the game, and then lament that it's his (Kratos's) own fault for [[spoiler: not being there to raise Lloyd growing up;]] and apologizes for it.

--> '''Genis''': What an ass!

* After the first fight with Sheena, a skit can bee triggered wherein Lloyd compares Sheena's gi to his dwarf-made clothes, claiming they're kind of similar. Kratos' reaction just screams [[spoiler:"''This'' is how my son grew up?"]]
-->'''Kratos''': Is this what happens when one is raised by a dwarf?

--> '''Lloyd''': Victory...
--> '''Colette''': ...belongs to...
--> '''Sheena''': ...the most...
--> '''Zelos''': Sexy! Dead sexy!

--> '''Lloyd''': {weakly} Colette... need cure for... poison...
--> '''Colette''': {cheerfully} I'm fine! I'm not poisoned!
--> '''Lloyd''': {weakly} No... I mean... me...

--> '''Lloyd''': Look at [[spoiler: Mr. President,]] struttin' his stuff!
--> '''Regal''': *awkward cough*
--> '''Lloyd''': Hehe! You're turning re-ed!

--> '''Genis''': Dwarven Vow Nº 7:
--> '''Colette''': "Justice and love will always win!"
--> '''Lloyd''': Uuuuugh, I HATE that saying...
** [[TheComicallySerious Kratos]] gets in on the fun, running afoul of one of Genis and Colette's more saccharine celebrations. [[spoiler: Like father, like son, after all.]]
--> '''Colette''': Our weapons are love!
--> '''Genis''': Justice! And...
--> '''Kratos''': Ugh... hope.

--> '''Lloyd''': (excited) Did you see my powerful attack?
--> '''Presea''': (emotionless) Yes.
--> '''Regal''': (uninterested) Uh-huh.
--> '''Lloyd''': (defeated) Man...

--> '''Sheena''': Did you see my attack?
--> '''Zelos''': Oh yeah, baby, I was watching alright.
--> '''Sheena''': For some reason, I don't think that's what you were focusing on.

--> '''Colette''': Lloyd, you looked so cool!
--> '''Genis''': I'm starting to wonder about your taste, Colette.
--> '''Lloyd''': What's that supposed to mean?

-->'''Regal''': We must...
-->'''Presea''': ...protect this world...
-->'''Sheena''': ...with our own hands!
-->'''Zelos''': And speaking of hands, [[HandsomeLech I think I'll put mine...]]
-->'''Sheena''': ...Idiot!

--> '''Regal''': Nice skills.
--> '''Emil''': Nice moves.
--> '''Marta''': Hey, what about me!?
--> '''Regal''': Nice weapon.
--> '''Marta''': That doesn't have anything to do with me!

--> '''Marta''': There is no enemy before love!
--> '''Emil''': So you lose if there's no love?
--> '''Marta''': Yes, so tell me that you love me!
--> '''Emil''': ...we can lose next time.
--> '''Marta''': Emil!

--> '''Zelos''': Don't fall for me, honey!
--> '''Sheena''': (uninterested) Never.
--> '''Marta''': As if!
--> '''Emil''': If you want, I'll introduce you to some of the female monsters.
--> '''Zelos''': (defeated) God, this is just depressing...

--> '''Zelos''': No one stands a chance against the great Zelos!
--> '''Lloyd''': You mean, no one can stand YOU, right?
--> '''Zelos''': Bu- That's what I was waiting for, bud!
--> '''Genis''': He's just starving for attention...

** The skits in the second game are just as funny:
--> '''Tenabrae''': You have now [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriended]] twenty-five monsters.
--> '''Emil''': It's sorta sad.
--> '''Marta''': What's wrong? Aren't you happy? Twenty-five monsters isn't bad!
--> '''Emil''': Yeah, but this means I have more monster friends than Human ones.
--> '''Tenabrae''': That is rather...
--> '''Marta''': Yeah okay, that's sad.
* At one point, the game tells you, "[[spoiler:Kratos obtained the title of Traitor.]]"
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goQMnWm7tEk This skit]] from Dawn of the New World is one of the funniest (except, for some, for Marta being the ClingyJealousGirl she is for the whole game).

--> '''Sheena''': It's the fact that you're used to it that worries me.

--> I'll send an order to the factory to halt production immediately.

* The [[spoiler:SpotTheImposter]] moment in the sequel, when Emil finally discovers the truth about what's going on with the supposed "Lloyd is being a crazy psycho and destroying towns" thing. [[spoiler:In a pretty epic scene with two Lloyds duelling each other, one of them is spouting all these cliched lines about justice and making the right choice, while the other one is comparatively much calmer and level-headed. The imposter is, of course, the former.]] But even if you never played the original, you'd be able to tell [[spoiler:which one is the imposter]] for the simple fact that ''he's bouncing on the balls of his feet wearing a real-life ":D" expression.''

** She does plenty for the lulz, even in the first game, even when she's still actually emotionless. Most of the time, this involves [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] at people in her robot voice. For example, after Zelos tries to use a metaphor:
--> '''Presea''': Incorrect usage detected. Correction necessary.
--> '''Zelos''': (shamed) Aw, Presea!
* Back in the first game, if you were controlling someone other than Lloyd and had Lloyd in the party at the start of the boss fight with Magnius, you could get a very interesting bit of 'dialogue'. Your party members in battle will do things like shouting something when an enemy starts to cast a spell, to help you stay aware of the battlefield. Lloyd's quote for this is "Not a chance!". So when Magnius delivers his PreAsskickingOneLiner and then ''immediately'' starts casting:
--> '''Magnius''': You really think you're gonna live through this?! ''*starts casting*''
--> '''Lloyd''': Not a chance!
* A sidequest in the first game has everyone in your party taking a quiz, basically so the genius Genis can show off his smarts. [[IdiotHero Lloyd]] gets 25 points, then begins acting proud. Colette remarks that it's the best grade he's ever gotten on a test. It then goes on to say that Colette got over two-hundred. Turns out the test was out of 400 points, not 100!
** Also, the fact that ''Kratos'' is dragged into taking the test as well... and he gets a lower grade than Raine and Genis.
** Even better, you can even have the Tethe'alla party members take the test with you if you wait long enough. Sheena actually does ''worse'' than Colette and Regal actually lampshades on why he has to take the test as well.

* In the first game, Lloyd would often start battles saying: "This is gonna be a piece of cake!" but you could interrupt him by using Demon Fang, so it'd become: "This is gonna be a piece of Demon Fang!" absolutely seamlessly.
* The skit "Lloyd Praised" where Lloyd uses an advanced word like "avaricious" (in regards to the stingy old merchant on the mountain) and in the right context too, to which Raine reacts as if he just brought her to orgasm. Genis has a slight joke about it too.
** Becomes HilariousInHindSight if you decide to hook up Lloyd and Raine in the sequel.
* In Symphonia Chronicles, there is the option to have one party member ride the teacups and roller coaster with Lloyd. If [[spoiler: you choose Kratos at Flanoir, there is the option to ride with him, resulting in him being his usual stoic self while Lloyd says he needs to throw up after the teacups. Later he also gets one of his usual regretful moments and says this still doesn't make up for not being there for Lloyd as a child, though it's a start.]]
** The post-teacups scene is funny no matter who you do it with. If you pick Colette:
--->'''Lloyd''': I'm gonna lose my lunch...
--->'''Colette''': I'll see your lunch and raise you breakfast...
* Another Chronicles-exclusive scene: You have the option to make Raine and either Zelos or Kratos star in a play in Altamira. If you choose Kratos, this happens:
--> '''Kratos''': I did experiment as a thespian. Briefly.
--> '''Lloyd''': Wait, I don't get it! But you're not a woman...?
** Kratos also makes it sound like he was just ''very'' [[OnlyInItForTheMoney desperate]] [[IWasYoungAndNeededTheMoney for money]] or something. [[spoiler: He probably was while on the run with Anna. Then, it becomes funny to think about him taking an acting job while on the run from an entire world-ruling organization.]]
* Chronicles[=/=]The [=PS2=] version introduces Zelos and Sheena's pet nicknames for each other: Sheenuts and Zeloser respectively.

* When [[spoiler:Regal]] ambushes Zelos at the end of the Meltokio sewers, this occurs:
-->'''[[spoiler:Regal]]:''' We're here on the Pope's orders.
-->'''Zelos''': ...Oh... hey, Lloyd! If you abandon me here, I swear, I'll come back to haunt you!
-->'''Lloyd''': [[DeadpanSnarker ...I just had a sudden, violent urge to abandon you.]]

-->'''Zelos''': What kind of a title is that?!

-->'''Zelos''': A beautiful woman! So, wait, are you going to introduce me to a beautiful woman?
-->'''Genis''': Why should I do that for you?

-->'''Sheena''': I made her a voodoo doll. [...] The way you use it is... actually, it might be a bit shocking for you.
-->'''Genis''': I have a feeling I know...

-->'''Raine''': I'd like the Necronomicon, the ancient lost book! ''(begins ruin ranting)''
-->'''Genis''': ''*Sigh*'' Should have known better than to ask you.

-->'''Colette''': Well, I think I'd have to say... world peace.
-->'''Genis''': Ah, wow. Talk about large-scale.

-->'''Regal''': When I sent roomfuls of roses and such to noblewomen, they were pleased.
-->'''Genis''': I can't do something like that!

-->'''Lloyd''': I'd want a year's worth of Sichuan tofu curry! And maybe a [[WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter wooden sword set]].
-->'''Genis''': ''*Sigh*''' Should have known better than to ask you.

--->'''Zelos''': What did you give her?
--->'''Genis''': [[BoringButPractical A sharpening stone]].
--->'''Zelos''': You're an idiot.

* The disadvantage to the titles that grant you costumes is the fact that they do not provide stat boosts on level up; walking around, [[MrFanservice in swim trunks]] [[MsFanservice and bikinis]], [[SharpDressedMan in Tethe'allan formal wear]], or [[TheCameo as characters from other Tales games]] (''Chronicles'' only) is all good fun, but tactically disadvantageous. However, the only titles that Kratos receives are his four level-up titles, a cooking title, "Tetra Slash", [[spoiler:"Traitor", "Judgement",]] and his alternate costumes. If you're playing a NewGamePlus (or [[OldSaveBonus have Tales data on your PS3]]) and [[GuideDangIt don't know that Kratos can obtain "Tetra Slash"]], you'll probably give him his "[[VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2 Transforming Agent]]" title for the hell of it - which means he will spend most of the game ''[[BulletproofFashionPlate in a suit and tie]]''.

* If you start the Devil's Arms sidequest before making pacts with all the summon spirits, there's an amusing little scene at the end of Disc 1: [[spoiler:while Tethe'alla is going through one hell of an earthquake, you can see]] Abyssion just standing there without moving, panicking, or !-ing.

-->'''Lloyd''': Am I really this ugly?
* [[TheStoic Kratos]] admitting he'd rather eat grass than tomatoes.

* Before getting the "Legend of Musashi" costumes for Kratos and Lloyd, Lloyd gives away major spoilers in the span of 4 seconds like [[spoiler: Kratos being an angel, being his father (which Kratos actually [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments blushes!]], and knifing them in the back]]. Tiga is all cool about it, too.
* Genis and Presea's "date." An elder gives them some insulated clothes he's made, and suggests they go out into the cold to see if they work. Presea asks if Lloyd will go with them. Lloyd, [[ChasteHero being clueless about his friend wanting alone time with a girl]], says he wants to go, but Genis cuts him off. Lloyd follows them anyway, and no one notices him about 20 feet away in plain sight, and most likely his bright red boots and sweater.
-->'''Genis''': LLOYD'S BUSY! Super busy. Can't go.
* [[spoiler:Mithos]]: "How dare you, human? Y-You son of [[spoiler: Kratos!]]'' This is delivered exactly like how someone would deliver a curse word.

* When discussing how to retrieve the Spiritua Statue from Oda Geyser, Lloyd can either enthusiastically volunteer to go get it or wisely ponder how he's supposed to retrieve the geyser without getting scalded. Picking the first option will get Lloyd lambasted by most of the party for not realizing what a geyser is and how dangerous they are. However, if Sheena is in the party during this scene, she will silently, but with mouth agape, realize that she had no idea [[BookDumb what a geyser was either.]] Picking this option even nets you more RelationshipValues points with Sheena in solidarity.

* At the beginning of the game, if you examine the incredibly conspicuous and poorly patched-up hole in the wall, Genis and Colette will reveal that Colette managed to make it by falling into the wall during spring cleaning. Later on, you can find a similar [[ImpactSilhouette Colette-shaped hole]] in a ''stone'' wall. In the sequel, the second hole successfully becomes a tourist attraction.

** Which can also be Fridge Brilliance: [[spoiler:It's foreshadowing that Kratos is an Angel. After all the process of becoming one means losing one's sense of taste, after all]]

* One of Zelos's lines in battle is "Not the face!"

* [[spoiler:Mithos]]: "How dare you, human? Y-You son of [[spoiler: Kratos!]]'' This is delivered exactly like how someone would deliver a curse word.

* The "curse" that would befall anyone who opened the iron maiden before it granted its wish was both this and CrowningMomentOfAwesome. And of course, who would question something like that coming from the EmotionlessGirl? Oh, and of course, even if the Vanguard hadn't fallen for it, it was still rigged up so that it would appear empty if opened by someone who didn't know the trick. Presea pretty much made that up just for the hell of it. Repeat: ''the EmotionlessGirl'' did something just for the lulz--and didn't break her [[TheStoic stoic]] nature once, even after the guys she was pranking had left.

* Before getting the "Legend of Musashi" costumes for Kratos and Lloyd, Lloyd gives away major spoilers in the span of 4 seconds like [[spoiler: Kratos being an angel, being his father (which Kratos actually [[HeartwarmingMoments blushes!]], and knifing them in the back]]. Tiga is all cool about it, too.

* "Professor Raine... what's a 'philanderer'? Is it something you eat?" "...I don't think you'd want to eat one."

** [[spoiler: Gets even funnier when you realize Lloyd is assuming his father somehow had a lesbian experience.]]

* [[spoiler:Mithos]]: "How dare you, human? Y-You son of [[spoiler: Kratos!]]

* Before getting the "Legend of Musashi" costumes for Kratos and Lloyd, Lloyd gives away major spoilers in the span of 4 seconds like [[spoiler: Kratos being an angel, being his father (which Kratos actually [[HeartwarmingMoments blushes!]], and knifing them in the back]]. Tiga is all cool about it, too.

* How the king of Tethe'alla happens to look like {{Jesus}} is this to some people.
