* No-Face's ending has some very amusing BlackComedy with how he gets his {{revenge}} on [[MadDoctor Dr. Hatch]]. Having the BackAlleyDoctor BoundAndGagged was a given, but having him ''hogtied to a boxing bag?'' Then Calypso giving a "special bonus" of a {{Red Boxing Glove|s}} ''[[WolverineClaws with claws made of]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hatch's surgical instruments?]]'' And ''then'' having [[KickTheSonOfABitch No-Face's well-deserved]] ExtremeMeleeRevenge SmashToBlack with ''[[WackySoundEffect a boxing bell ringing?!]]'' This was CoolAndUnusualPunishment taken to the max, complete with the king of all [[QuipToBlack Quips to Black]].

* Slam gets revenge on Billy in the greatest way possible! The construction worker buries the bully in sand and puts a porta potty on top of Calypso's head sticking out of the sand! The last we see of Calypso, a construction worker is going to the bathroom...

* Gene Rotfish's Ending has him with to become a ChickMagnet. While the end result is rather disturbing, there's also something hilarious about how even ''Calypso'' [[EvenTheGuysWantHim calls him "quite the catch"]] right after the wish is granted.

* Sweet Tooth's ending. His wish is to eat all the candy and sweets he wants. Cut to him having to get dental surgery because he didn't bother ''brushing and flossing.''



* The Joneses want a simple wish of a brand new feature-loaded RV camper and to have Sweet Tooth accompany them as the driver for their next vacation, which he obliges. Cut to them driving along a canyon road, singing "99 bottles of beer", and Sweeth Tooth grimacing at what he probably considers a FateWorseThanDeath... Before [[DrivenToSuicide turning sharply, forcing the RV off the road, careening into the canyon]].

* General Warthog wishes for the greatest military machine on earth, fit for war in any terrain. Cut to him commanding what turns out to be a ''toy'' tank as a child's hand rolls it across a sandbox.

** In the Lost Ending, Needles drove in with a BoundAndGagged woman riding shotgun. After getting Crazy Harold, he starts a shoot-out with Calypso's mooks, and she breaks her binds and holds him at gun point. Calypso thanks her, but she points a second gun at him;
-->'''Woman:''' You guys are ''both'' sick. I'm gettin' out of here, ''(To Needles)'' and I'm taking your truck.\\
'''Needles:''' ''(Looks shocked)''

* Spectre's ending has Ken Masters wish for the world to know his face. Calypso grants this by [[FacialHorror stretching his face out]] to cover the entire planet. Horrifying on its own, but it's Calypso's response afterward [[CrossesTheLineTwice that sells it]].

* Minion's ending. Especially [[AintTooProudToBeg Calypso's childish and frightened begging]] as Minion [[DraggedOffToHell throws him into Hell]]. Even more-so when you hear one of Calypso's reasons in his begging:
-->'''Calypso''': It's scary down there!

-->'''Calypso''': The driver of Spectre had gotten his wish! Now the entire world knew Ken's face. And to tell you the truth, I rather like seeing his face every day. It's a nice face. [[IRegretNothing I do not regret what I did]].
* In Shadow's ending, Mortimer tell Calypso he has a gift for him which turns out to be the souls lost in the competition who take Calypso away and leave him on the wing of a flying plane. What's amusing is how chill Calypso is about it. Doubles as a moment of awesome given how Mortimer manages to get one over on Calypso.

* In their Lost ending, Hammerhead's drivers (Jeff and Mike) don't even ''have'' a wish by the time they pull in, and [[NowYouTellMe are utterly baffled that there actually was a prize at the end]]. When Calypso says they can wish for whatever they desire, [[MaleGaze the two start to gawk at Calypso's]] {{Stripperiffic}} BodyguardBabes [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic as the "Twisted Metal" main theme starts blaring]]...

* The "Lost Ending" version of Thumper's ending in the first game. Thumper's driver wants to save his girlfriend from a rival ganglord. Calypso has the ganglord tied to a chair and the girl, unharmed, standing by. He also has a gun in hand, [[WhatYouAreInTheDark and offers it to the driver]]. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere The driver refuses to shoot, walking away with his girlfriend.]] [[MoodWhiplash Calypso blinks, and then mutters, "That was anticlimatic," before putting the gun to the ganglord's head himself.]] Adding to the hilarity is the ganglord's [[DullSurprise deadpan, almost bored-sounding response]] of "[[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh, my God…]]" just as he's about to be shot.

* Pizza Boy's wish is to get a super fast tricked out car for street racing. When he tries it out in a drag race, the rocket boosters are so powerful, it sends him flying into space and into a blackhole.

* There's plenty of MonumentalDamage throughout the franchise, but ''2'' goes the extra mile with Lady Liberty. First strike sets her torch aflame, another [[ClothingDamage strips her down to a hot skimpy red bikini]], while another inexplicably makes her [[FanDisservice super fat]] (still in the bikini), before a last strike finally destroys the whole thing.
