* The ending of Lara doesn't screw up physically too often, but apparently her best idea for breaking into Area 51 in ''Tomb Raider III'' was to grab a quadbike and ramp it over a fence. [[EpicFail She clips it and ends up eating dirt for her trouble]], to which the local military police genuinely admonish her unconscious self for how utterly stupid that was to pull. While calling her a "[[TotallyRadical crazy geek freak]]" and pondering if she was some wacky eco-terrorist [[MsFanservice in hot pants]] as they arrest her.

* Some of the death animations in the ''Legend'' trilogy can be outright hilarious thanks to its use of RagdollPhysics. Deaths from [[FallingDamage high falls]] in ''Anniversary'' also sound amusing because Lara does not scream as in the first game; rather, she lets out a grunt on impact.

* In issue #2 of the 2016 series, Lara and a professor are escaping together and need a vehicle. Arriving at a parking lot, all he turns out to have is a motor scooter he owns for the gas mileage. He offers her his spare helmet, which is pink with flowers on it, then looks over and sees her stealing some other guy's motorcycle.
-->'''Lara:''' ''[seeing the scooter]'' You're joking.\\
'''Demur:''' Do you know how much gas is right now?\\
'''Lara:''' It hasn't really come up.\\
'''Demur:''' It only costs five dollars to fill this thing up! I've got a spare helmet if you wa-- Oh. I see. That's Ted's motor-- I guess that's fine.
