History Funny / TheStanleyParable

* The developer offices for the sequel route has a list of sequels justifying the "sequels are good" statement. Most of them are in fact good examples, but the [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers last two]] are hilariously very much not - ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'', while of debatable quality, is infamous for kickstarting the trend of mediocre-to-terrible direct-to-video Disney sequels, and ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' is one of '''the''' most notable examples of a ContestedSequel in gaming history. Also, the titles without a 2 in the name are retitled to have a 2 in them, including the aforementioned ''Aladdin'' sequel and ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', which is instead called "''Batman Arkham Asylum 2 (City)''".

-->'''Narrator''': You heartless ''bastard''. Did you do it because you hate babies or purely to spite me?
-->'''Narrator''': Thank you for playing. Your input was extremely valuable. Oh, hey, since my game was so awful, why don't we play [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} someone else's game,]] [[VideoGame/{{Firewatch}} just to ease the pain?]]

* If you stay in the boss's office for too long, the Narrator gets increasingly impatient and irritated, repeating the code insistently to make you get a move on.
-->"'''''One. Nine. Five. Seven.'''''"
-->"'''''Two. Eight. Four. Five.'''''"

-->'''Narrator:''' Here's the door, just ''go''.

--> ''[when Adam tried to access the Final Choice the first time]'' No no no no no, Adam! What are you doing? You can't make that decision yet! We haven't played the demo! Is this what they call 'journalistic integrity'?
--> ''[when the Steam Train conductors "crash" the demo]'' Did the two of you do this? [[RunningGag Goddammit Ross]]!

-->"I've played thousands of hours, and had my heart touched 176 times so far. [[LiteralMetaphor It really hurts.]] How do you turn that off?" -John Gamerson
-->[[AllWomenLoveShoes "This place has shoes! I love shoes!]] Oh. My. God. Shopping! Shopping! Shopping! Shopping! Shopping!" -[[RefugeInAudacity A Woman]]

--> '''The Narrator:''' Come, come. ''Daddy needs a third swimming pool''.

--> '''The Narrator:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe What do you]] '''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe mean,]]''' ''[[Videogame/TheLastofUsPartII The Last of Us II]]'' [[YouHaveGottoBeKiddingMe is also coming out next year?!]]

--> ''Sign me up for that good'' ''[[PrecisionFStrike shit]]''

--> '''The Narrator:''' Ohh! New content? What does that mean - new content?

---> '''The Narrator:''' Oh good, you noticed my sign.

-->'''The Narrator:''' "'Heck yes,' she thought to herself, '[[SophisticatedAsHell my life kicks ass!]]' And she backflipped all the way to work."

-->'''Narrator:''' ''[Reading the review]'' "Honestly, could not be bothered to play this game to full completion. The narrator is obnoxious and unfunny with his humor and dialogue proving to be more irritating than entertaining." [[SuddenlyShouting UN]][[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne FUNNY?!]]

* After completing the Epilogue, you will unlock the option to make your own “sequels”. The only differences from the original game is the customizable title screen, which advances the sequel number by one and ask you to create a new subtitles. Not only are the subtitles that you can possibly create beyond ridiculous, such as “Beyond Ice Cream”, “Destruction of Hole”, or “Temple of Gun”, but the title screens themselves, chosen based on the sequel number, are ridiculous as well. Examples include a fat and ugly Stanley drawing with the Real Person ending room behind, a giant Stanley astronaut robot floating in the middle of the mind control facility, or Stanley dancing in flames with the employee lounge behind him, not to mention the silly music that plays during these title screens.
** If you always keep the time at [=12:00am=] when asked to set the clock, the unseen entity begins to wonder whether you're too lazy to change it, or are simply messing with it to see what happens.

--> ''"Stanley just stood there doing nothing at all. He seems to think I have nothing better to do with my time than to sit around and describe every fascinating little detail of his inability to do anything. This is why Stanley and I are on such good terms."''
--> ''"Stanley stood for a long time in one spot. It's part of a game. He likes to see how long he can go without dying. So far, he's doing excellent, and if he just stays right where he is, I'm sure he'll keep up that good momentum. Let's observe the genius at work."''

*** Interestingly, It's™ more willing to work with the Narrator by luring Stanley to the Bucket Destroyer in the aptly-named ending.

** ''The Stanley Parable Adventure Line™'' from said Confusion ending. If the subtitles are turned on, every reference to The Line™ has a [[TradeSnark trademark symbol following It™]]. The Line™ starts off seemingly normal, going across floors with Stanley following It™ while the Narrator starts playing [[https://youtu.be/guIaCocnNaw adventure-like music]] in the background. But then It™ starts going crazy, going across walls and taking small detours, even through [[AlienGeometries a corridor in between a set of pillars bigger than the room it's in]] at one point. Eventually, It™ betrays the Narrator by leading back into the Monitor Room, in which the Narrator stated that Stanley was not supposed to be there yet and considered it a spoiler.
