History Funny / Xenoblade

--> '''Melia:''' '[Suppressing a laugh]' I'm not sure I can do that with Tyrea. It seems like a lot.

--> '''Melia''': Before, when I spoke of them(flowers) to a Homs friend, she said flowers are nice, but nothing beats a warm dinner. I got no understanding from ''her''...

** [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight The strange sight of Fiora, Sharla, and a Machina girl ( even carrying a wooden hoe and a bucket) getting extremely pumped up for gardening]]. [[TheComicallySerious In the same shot, Dunban is hyper focused on pulling a weed with his one good arm]].

* Melia's frustrated AsideGlance and snarky comment at Shulk after seeing Teelan run off before they could stop him followed by Kino and Nene chiming in/
--> ''Melia'': What is it about science boffins always doing whatever they please?
--> ''Shulk'': Huh? Uh..
--> ''Kino'': He get told.
--> ''Nene'': [[ButtMonkey He probably have it coming]]. ([[HypocriticalHumor after shutting up Kino earlier for saying the same thing to Teelan because it was rude]])

--> ''Melia'': (Suppressing a laugh) I'm not sure I can do that with Tyrea. It seems like a lot.

--> ''Nene'': Ok, then now Miss Melia go and say, hey Sisterpon, come play!
--> ''Melia'': *Gasps* R-right now?! I need some time to compose myself!

--> ''Tyrea'': [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm too old for this. (Flies away)]]

--> ''Tyrea'': It is the will of the people. ''Empress Melia.''
--> ''Melia'': (Mildly offended) Don't mock me.

* Absolutely everything out of the {{Chuunibuyo}} Ponspector's mouth, especially when contrasted with their more straightforward thought bubbles.

** [[UnusuallyInterestingSight The strange sight of Fiora, Sharla, and a Machina girl ( even carrying a wooden hoe and a bucket) getting extremely pumped up for gardening]]. [[TheComicallySerious In the same shot, Dunban is hyper focused on pulling a weed with his one good arm]].

* A Nopon demanding Melia repay Riki's debt with sweets, then eating a dessert the size of an Armu. The only person who doesn't see this as strange physically impossible are the Nopon and the scatterbrained chef. Who then decides that making the same thing for [[IceQueen Tyrea]] would [[TooDumbToLive be a good way to woo her]].

** Nene also acts like her and Kino's spankings from Oka for not getting along are ''like old battle scars'', while assuming that Melia and Tyrea's mothers would have spanked them for not getting along in the same way, with the hilarious irony of Nene not knowing that Yumea tried to have Tyrea kill Melia. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Again, [[Troll Melia finds this amusing]] while [[BerserkButton Tyrea is livid]]]].

** Nene also acts like her and Kino's spankings from Oka for not getting along are ''like old battle scars'', while assuming that Melia and Tyrea's mothers would have punished them for not getting along the same way, not knowing that Yumea tried to have Tyrea kill Melia. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Again, Melia finds this amusing while Tyrea is livid]].

* Melia and Tyrea having a heated argument only to be defused by Nene, whose insistence that the hug and make up makes Tyrea explode (and be rather racist) towards Nene. Melia thinks its ActuallyPrettyFunny. After Tyrea pledges her life to Melia, Nene makes her angry again when she interprets it as an apology, because [[BumblingDad Riki gets on his hands and knees to apologize to Oka for pissing her off all the time]]. Tyrea's response to this:

* The RomancingTheWidow love triangle in Gran Dell towards Winnie can be w
worth a few laughs with how oblivious all three parties are to not only each other's feelings ''but their own''.

* One of Riki's heavy armor styles is ''completely'' covered with nasty-looking spines. Outfitting Riki in a full set of this makes him look less like a cuddly Nopon and more [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/4/4d/Riki_wants_hugs.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150331013257 like a giant spiky steel ball]]... or a bouncing durian. Becomes even better in cutscenes where a character is cuddling Riki, or [[LivingCrashpad his introduction]] in NewGamePlus.

* [[DeadpanSnarker Dunban's reaction to a bunch of assassins barging into the room the team is being held in]].
--->'''Dunban:''' [[CasualDangerDialogue Excuse me, we ordered room service an ''hour'' ago.]]

-->'''Melia:''' I'm sorry. I did not have the pleasure of coming into contact with a male Homs.\\

[=*=]Shulk [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine smiles and thumbs up at Reyn]], Sharla laughs*

'''Riki''': Sharla more like mama. One mama enough.\\

'''Melia''': Aww, what about Sharla?\\

* There's a small section of Satorl Marsh filled with assorted Bunnits. Wander around there too much after the events at Mechonis Core, and you might just encounter [[KillerRabbit one of the game's five superbosses]].
* The Streetpass Puzzle Swap picture depicting this game shows three Nopon in front of the Monado. You may just assume the animated picture's just depicting two random Nopon playing with each other... until the third Nopon lying by them gets up. Then you realize that the third Nopon happens to be Riki himself.

* A bit of a meta example, but Riki is voiced by Wayne Forester. Who did he voice in the past? Dad in [[WesternAnimation/HorridHenry Horrid Henry]]. It's funny to think that a hairy pineapple on sugar with a Falsetto voice shares his actor with a serious dad with a rather deep voice. Even funnier if you used to watch that show.

* Some of the item descriptions are also pretty funny, for example

* As a gameplay example: [[OhCrap seeing a vision of a really powerful enemy attack]]... [[EpicFail missing.]] Sometimes you ''don't'' want to change the future!
* Put Reyn in the party lead and jump around for a while. One of his voice clips for jumping is "alley-oop!", which is just so unexpected compared to everyone else's that you can't help but laugh.

* Melia's introduction starts with the wrong foot when a recently sent back to conciousness Melly slaps Shulk clean in the face. Cue awkward apology.

* Melia ''in general'' can be pretty funny. One of her after-battle quotes is a ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' reference!

* When Melia is accepting a quest and Sharla is in the party, Sharla can tell her to be more casual. Melia tries, but just ends up being {{Adorkable}}.

* Late into the game, while things slowly get dark as the plot advances, there are still noteable moments to make you smile. Like when the party falls onto the flying Junks, Dickson drops down to greet Shulk and Fiora with open arms...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTdODpdlx6U#t=4m35s and Reyn with his feet.]] The uncomfortable expression on Shulk and Fiora's faces are priceless.
* Some cutscenes can do this depending on the player's preference in equipment, because when things are supposed to be completely serious you can't help but crack a smile because Dunban is [[FanService half-naked,]] Melia looking [[BadassAdorable astonishing]] with glasses, or Riki making priceless facial expressions in the background [[FunnyBackgroundEvent while carrying a ridiculous biter with him.]]
* The end cutscene has a few good scenes, from the fishing antics between Reyn and Riki, to Shulk awkwardly pretending not to notice that Fiora got her old body back, changing the subject to her ''[[DidYouGetANewHaircut hairstyle]]'' of all things.

* One of the achievements imply that Riki loves to eat bugs. The achievement can be gotten simply by giving 30 bugs as presents to other party members with Riki as the giver.
* Dunban hates Ether Plums with a passion. This is represented in-game as this being one of the things that would cause the most drop of affinity towards a party member if they were to give him one... [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential and an achievement for doing this]].
* One of the Heart to Heart moments involves a scene between Sharla and Reyn in the Refugee Camp on Bionis Leg. The options that will net you the most hearts involves Sharla teasing Reyn.
* Many of the quests found within Frontier Village are written from the quest giver's point of view. Even the messages given once you've completed the quests are written from their point of view. Their reactions for you completing some of their quests are priceless due to simple-like personalities.
* One of the Frontier Village quests involves finding a hook a Nopon lost because he wanted to try and catch Deinos. Once you've completed the quest, it's revealed that he's too light to be able to anchor himself onto the ground once he manages to get one hooked.
* Kuriku the young Nopon's personality description states that he's a [[ShapedLikeItself Spherical Nopon]].
* Melia's Starlight Kick. It's a useful art that can (finally) allow you to force topple on enemies should it be used after Spear Break. However, seeing tiny little [[SquishyWizard Melia]] drop kick something three times her size so hard she ''knocks it to the ground'' is hilarious. The quiet "Ouch" she adds, falling onto her bottom after the attack makes it even funnier.
-->'''Melia:''' ''"En Garde!"''
* One of the Heart-to-Hearts between Shulk and Riki involves Riki bathing within the Jakt Geyser of Valak Mountain while treating it as a hot spring. Do it right by choosing the options that give off the most hearts, and Riki will try to beckon Shulk to join in, only to get blasted off-screen by the geyser's eruption.
-->'''Riki:''' ''Do not worry, Shulk! Shulk will like water same as Riki.''
-->''The geyser erupts, launching Riki away.''
-->'''Shulk:''' ''Aaah! The geyser’s blown him away! Time for me to make a run for it! Sorry, Riki!''
* If you have Riki in your active party but you're not playing as him, Riki may confirm orders given to AI party members with "Aye aye... nose, mouth!"
* Some of Riki's battle interactions with Dunban are worth a laugh.
-->'''Dunban:''' ''I can feel my power returning to me!''
-->'''Riki:''' '''Power' sound like 'sour'! Sweet better!''
* The ending has a scene involving Reyn, Sharla and Riki fishing. When Reyn failed to catch a single fish, Riki started complaining about him not catching any fishes because Riki's hungry (and that Reyn must be the one to do so, not him). This prompted Reyn to remind him of his wife and children in an attempt to convince Riki to fish. This ended up backfiring on him due to Riki ComicallyMissingThePoint by demanding Reyn to try and catch as many fishes as possible.
* An alternate dialogue route in the Heart to Heart "A Scene Revisited" between Reyn and Fiora reveals that ''Reyn once tried to use the Monado to cut vegetables.'' Reyn tried to use the only hope against the Mechon, an ancient reality-warping destiny-changing sword containing the soul of a god that created the universe, ''[[MundaneUtility to cut vegetables]]''.
* The Heart-To-Heart moment "Fiora's Cooking" has Reyn and Fiora discuss Fiora's cooking (or, in particular, the food she makes for Shulk). The choices that gives off the most hearts are both related to Reyn wanting to eat some of Fiora's food.
* The choices that give the most hearts within the Heart-To-Heart moment "Life's Hard for a Heropon" eventually culminates in Riki proposing to move him and his entire family into Dunban's house. The thing is, Riki has lots of children to take care of and Dunban's house is actually quite small. When Dunban calls him out of it, Riki then proposes to make it bigger. Dunban then teasingly ask if he's going to get a loan to help make it bigger. (Riki's backstory is that the only reason why he was "chosen" as the Heropon is because of the huge debt he has to the village).
* If you chose the right answers within the Heart-to-Heart moment "The Forefathers", Riki would suggest a plan to destroy telethia that involves using bait to lure them into a pit trap and bury them alive. At the end, Fiora thinks to herself, "If the Telethia were that stupid, nobody would be scared of them!"
* A cutscene reveals how Colonel Vangarre survived Sword Valley being picked up by the moving Mechonis He's being hold by a fellow Homs soldier who is, in turn, holding onto a Nopon aerial unit (which consists of a few Nopon soldiers riding a Pterix). What DrillSergeantNasty Vangarre yells in response to this is what makes it funny, threatening the soldier with lots of pushups if he were to drop him.
* The Heart-To-Heart "The Legend of the Spider" reveals that Reyn got his phobia of spiders by Shulk putting one in his shoe as a prank. The Heart-To-Heart also reveals Shulk did that prank in response to Reyn's prank of putting a caterpillar in his sock drawer, with the implication that it gave Shulk a similar phobia towards caterpillars.
* It's possible for Riki to wield fish as his weapons during battle. Comes in two varieties: the full fish, called the "Fish Biter" in-game, and an eaten fish (with its entire body save for its head being a skeleton), called the "Banquet Biter" in-game.
* A funny little piece of GameplayAndStorySegregation: if you have Shulk in your party but not actively controlling him, it is possible (and, considering his Monado Arts, more than likely) for you to warn ''him'' of an incoming vision of the future.

* One of Riki's heavy armor styles is ''completely'' covered with nasty-looking spines. Outfitting Riki in a full set of this makes him look less like a cuddly Nopon and more [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/4/4d/Riki_wants_hugs.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150331013257 like a giant spiky steel ball]]... or a bouncing durian. Becomes even better in cutscenes where a character is cuddling Riki, or [[LivingCrashpad his introduction]] in NewGamePlus.
* The simple fact that, in terms of levels, some tiny little spiders living in [[BonusDungeon the extended Tephra Cave]] are vastly more powerful than the FinalBoss, who is a literal god, not to mention the one responsible for ''creating'' all those creatures that are inexplicably more powerful than himself. He really wound up on the bad side of the whole "Can God create a rock so massive even He cannot move it" paradox, huh?

* Put the characters in really {{Stripperific}} costumes before major scenes - especially scenes that'll get flashbacks. Prepare for lots of {{Narm}}.
** One that doesn't even need a new game plus mode is the fact that it's highly likely that Fiora's early equipment will consist of a blue bikini top... so the scene of her rushing off to her death in a blue bikini top will be replayed hours later.
** Mechonis drops equipment that makes your characters run around in their underpants - leading to some hilarious potential scenes in the following WhamEpisode.
* While the cut-scenes in the game are nice. Everything that is not within the camera's view is completely left un-animated. Using a free moving camera hack in a Wii emulator [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZd2ZqE56hw gives us some lovely imagery of what the camera doesn't see]].
* Gem forging quotes in general. Shulk and Reyn repeatedly shout, 'To me! To you!' like the Chuckle Brothers.
* One of the sidequests has Shulk talking to one of the named NPC's, Désirée, to help her decide her future. All you have to do to complete the quest is essentially talk to her for a while, so the quest tasks just say things such as "Try not to fall asleep while listening to Désirée's story."

* Near the end of the dungeon, Reyn complains about how long it's taking and Alvis snarks about how they could have gotten there faster if ''somebody'' didn't push the button, which is funny enough [[TheComicallySerious coming from Alvis as-is]] and becomes even funnier when you learn [[spoiler:just what Alvis is.]]

* Late into the game, while things slowly get dark as the plot advances, there are still noteable moments to make you smile. Like when the party [[spoiler: falls onto the flying Junks, Dickson drops down to greet Shulk and Fiora with open arms...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTdODpdlx6U#t=4m35s and Reyn with his feet.]] ]]
** The uncomfortable expression on Shulk and [[spoiler:Fiora's]] faces are priceless.

* The end cutscene has a few good scenes, from the fishing antics between Reyn and Riki, to Shulk awkwardly pretending not to notice that [[spoiler: Fiora got her old body back, changing the subject to her ''[[DidYouGetANewHaircut hairstyle]]'' of all things.]]
* The end of the Red Pollen Orb sidequest chain, where you confront [[spoiler: Bana the Nopon. You promptly fight him as a [[LethalJokeCharacter Unique Monster]] to the tune of ''[[SeriousBusiness Tragic Decision]]'']]. He's also at a higher level than [[spoiler:Yaldabaoth, which is, according to Egil, the ''strongest Mechon ever constructed''. Yes, this lone Nopon riding a pterodactyl is ''more dangerous'' than the most powerful Mechon ever.]]

* An alternate dialogue route in the Heart to Heart "A Scene Revisited" between Reyn and [[spoiler:Fiora]] reveals that ''Reyn once tried to use the Monado to cut vegetables.'' Reyn tried to use the only hope against the Mechon, an ancient reality-warping destiny-changing sword [[spoiler:containing the soul of a god that created the universe]], ''[[MundaneUtility to cut vegetables]]''.

* A cutscene reveals how Colonel Vangarre survived [[spoiler:Sword Valley being picked up by the moving Mechonis]] He's being hold by a fellow Homs soldier who is, in turn, holding onto a Nopon aerial unit (which consists of a few Nopon soldiers riding a Pterix). What DrillSergeantNasty Vangarre yells in response to this is what makes it funny, threatening the soldier with lots of pushups if he were to drop him.

* The simple fact that, in terms of levels, some tiny little spiders living in [[BonusDungeon the extended Tephra Cave]] are vastly more powerful than the FinalBoss, who is [[spoiler:a literal god, not to mention the one responsible for ''creating'' all those creatures that are inexplicably more powerful than himself. He really wound up on the bad side of the whole "Can God create a rock so massive even He cannot move it" paradox, huh?]]
* NewGamePlus keeps all your equipment from the last run, even in cutscenes. This can make some early-game cutscenes rather odd, with Dunban, Dickson, and Mumkhar talking about some random sword as if it were the Monado, Shulk relaxing in a valley while wearing titanic metal armor, or the aforementioned Riki introduction. Depending on what armor she was wearing, [[spoiler:Fiora also might not quite fit right into Face Nemesis.]]
** Also, Shulk lamenting how little he knows about the Monado with [[spoiler:the ''Monado III'' on his back.]]
** Mumkhar appears in the opening cutscene [[spoiler:as a mechon several hours before he even becomes Metal Face or a faced mechon in the first place]]. Dickson is also fighting the Mechon in normal, casual clothing and the Monado's energy blade is coming out of Dunban's ''normal sword''.
*** And then comes the entire clusterfuck of a cutscene that is when Shulk [[spoiler:takes up the Monado for the first time]]. It must be [[https://youtu.be/bsMhYguv9NY?t=33m26s seen]] to be believed.
** Any scene involving a Faced Mechon before obtaining [[spoiler:Monado II]] is pretty hilarious. [[spoiler:The party is panicking about how the Monado can't hurt the Faced Mechon when Shulk could destroy them in a second. This also makes some of the sacrifices needed to defeat Xord and Metal Face, as well as Alvis' BigDamnHeroes moment, horrifically unnecessary]].
*** And when Shulk does obtain the [[spoiler:Monado II]], if you're wielding the [[spoiler:Monado III, the cutscene [[https://youtu.be/pkUW9n3hfeQ?t=28m44s downgrades Shulk's weapon to the Monado II]] for no apparent reason.]]

** One that doesn't even need a new game plus mode is the fact that it's highly likely that Fiora's early equipment will consist of a blue bikini top... so [[spoiler:the scene of her rushing off to her death in a blue bikini top]] will be replayed hours later.

** Wayne Forester also voiced the BigBad Jacob Crow in [[{{VideoGame/Timesplitters}} Timesplitters: Future Perfect]]. Now imagine a Nopon as a MadScientist seeking immortality (whose goal isn't really that much different from [[spoiler:Zanza]]).

* Melia ''in general'' can be pretty funny. One of her after-battle quotes is a MortalKombat reference!

** Mumkhar appears in the opening cutscene [[spoiler:as a mechon several hours before he is even revealed to be Metal Face or a faced mechon in the first place]]. Dickson is also fighting the Mechon in normal clothing and the Monado's energy blade is coming out of Dunban's ''normal sword''.
