* In ''[[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo-Tooie]]'', Jamjars, who teaches you moves, does so in a rhyming style (specifically he's singing to the tune of that "[[SoundOff I don't know but I've been told]]" song, he ''is'' a drill sergeant after all). Sometimes, he ends up rhyming the button names, which, while always rhymed in the original version, often did not rhyme in the Xbox Live Arcade version. You'd have the same problem if you played the original game in the US--Jamjars at one point rhymes the Z button with "red," which works in the UK--where "Z" is pronounced "Zed"--but not the US, where it's pronounced "Zee."

Since Rare is based in Twycross, UK, the UK--where "Z" Z button is meant to be pronounced "Zed"--but not "Zed", but to Americans, who pronounce it "Zee", the US, where it's pronounced "Zee."pun doesn't work.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', there are two instances meant to poke fun at the [[RhymesOnADime verse speaking]] Shantotto from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'':
** There was a seasonal event where Shantotto herself briefly invaded the world of Hydaelyn. As she [[RhymesOnADime always speaks in rhyme]] and had a long monologue with the Warrior of Light and some Twin Adder soldiers, one of the soldiers catches himself mid rhyme to prevent a case of GotMeDoingIt.
-->'''Vorsaile Heuloix:''' Better that she depart of her own volition, lest that appalling plot of hers come to fru-er, ''pass''.
** In the level 60-70 Job quest storyline for Black Mages, the Warrior of Light travels with Shatotto, an {{Expy}} of Shantotto. Unlike her ''XI'' counterpart, Shatotto doesn't speak in rhymes and even prevents herself from doing so accidentally.
-->'''Shatotto:''' Oh dear, you really aren't very smart. Very well, I shall begin from the very - er, beginning. Dear me, did I almost rhyme? Who ''does'' that, anyway?

{{Subverted Rhyme|EveryOccasion}}s in video games.

* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' the Forsaken have completely subverted a traditional rhyme with,
--> Roses are grey
--> Violets are grey
--> I'm dead
--> And colorblind.
* In ''[[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo-Tooie]]'', Jamjars, who teaches you moves, does so in a rhyming style (specifically he's singing to the tune of that "[[SoundOff I don't know but I've been told]]" song, he ''is'' a drill sergeant after all).

** Gruntilda, who spoke entirely in rhyming couplets all throughout ''Banjo-Kazooie'', is told by her sisters near the beginning of ''Banjo-Tooie'' to knock off the annoying rhyming already, at which point she says "Oh, very well, then." and stops for the rest of the game.
* In ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', [[spoiler: Shantotto]] [[RhymesOnADime always speaks in rhyme]] during [[spoiler:her]] cutscene.
** Also happens with a LastSecondWordSwap for an amusing comment by [[Videogame/FinalFantasyVII Yuffie]] when explaining the [[RandomDrop game's Battlegen system]]:
-->'''Yuffie:''' That's the way things go, you know. Without luck, you're...Uh, okay, moving on!
* In ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'', there is a room full of graffiti which includes
-->Alison,
-->Roses are red
-->Violets are blue
-->You suck
* ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'': I'm a poet and I know it not! Oh, Arkvoodle....
* In ''VideoGame/RuneScape'', you can get a rune pouch repaired by Wizard Korvak, who already [[GoMadFromTheRevelation went mad from the revelation.]] When you get it repaired, he drops this little gem.
-->'''Korvak''': Magic makes me happy, magic makes me glad, magic makes the voices quiet, and nothing rhymes with purple.
** There's also Bard Roberts' shanty, recapping the "Great Brain Robbery" quest: "Mi-Gor tried to stop your heart's pace / Your foe's arm part anchor, part mace / Struck without delay / But him ye did slay / made him look a total...[beat]...moron."
* The ''VideoGame/PacMan'' ghosts: Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and [[OddNameOut Clyde]].
* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'', a clue for one sidequest reads as follows:
-->You are my hen, the mistress of my flock. You nourish my body, and tend to my...[[LastSecondWordSwap rooster]].
* In ''VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland'', there's a point where Guybrush Threepwood has to subvert the rhymes of his crew.
-->'''Guybrush:''' We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an ''orange''.\\
'''Haggis:''' And...! ...um...\\
'''Bill:''' Well...\\
'''Edward:''' ...err...\\
'''Bill:''' Door hinge?\\
'''Edward:''' No, no...\\
'''Bill:''' Guess the song's over, then.\\
'''Haggis:''' Guess so.\\
'''Edward:''' Okay, back to work.\\
'''Guybrush:''' Well, gee. I feel a little guilty, now.
* In one part of ''[[VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople SBCG4AP: Baddest of the Bands]]'', the player has to help Homestar fill in the words to his song by directing him to food items. However, one of them doesn't pan out as expected:
-->Homestar: Bleu cheese or ranch. We can dine in, or we can take it to go.
-->Our food-related love makes me all tipsy, kinda queasy, like a...
-->[Strong Bad points to the escargot]
-->[RecordNeedleScratch] Homestar: Plate of snails?! That...doesn't rhyme...
** This is subverted (double subverted?) if you beat the scene: "go" is rhymed with "merlot", and "snails" ends up being rhymed with "fails".
* Subverted by SelfDemonstrating/GLaDOS in ''VideoGame/Portal2''. The way it's presented seems as though it's a subverted rhyme, but in the scheme of the song, it's actually no subverted rhyme at all.
-->Goodbye my only friend.\\
Oh, did you think I meant you?\\
That would be funny,\\
If it weren't so ''sad.''\\
Well you have been replaced\\
I don't need anyone now\\
When I delete you maybe\\
I'll stop feeling so bad.
* Fawful in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'' delivers this gem:
-->Fawful sings a song of bad.
-->Mushroom Kingdom is so sad.
-->All of it is for Fawful
-->and the...rhyme with...that.
* In the 2011 edition of ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'', one of the commercials / sponsors is for a rhyming dictionary where the voice over consistently fails to rhyme any of his lines.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'' provides us with the following gem, in a poem about the sheep of Gran Pulse titled "The Melancholy of the Lambs:"
-->''It's hard to be sheep''\\
''out here on the plain,''\\
''Avoiding the hunters''\\
''is such a terrible strain.''\\
''Oh, I wish that once''\\
''I could munch on some grass''\\
''Without a man coming to pull''\\
''a tuft from my...side.''
* In ''Are We There Yet?'' the puzzle for one of the Michigan tourist attractions, a red flannel factory, is a word search where a couplet is given after finding a piece of underwear; for example, "I see gallons, I see quarts; I see someone's BOXER SHORTS." Instead of a couplet, the response to a particular undergarment is "A BULLETPROOF VEST???" Another set of puzzles concerning the return of Hinckley, Ohio's buzzards consists of a cryptogram which translates to:
--> Buzzard buzzard in the tree\\
I hate the way you stare at me\\
I wish you good I wish you well\\
I wish you'd fly straight to\\
\\
Followed by a different kind of puzzle which gives the answer "Iowa."
* In ''VideoGame/ChildOfLight,'' everyone speaks in rhyme, save for the jester Rubella. Aurora and Igniculus constantly correct her when she goes off-script.
* In ''Fairy Maids'' the ''Tale Tale Tribune'' contains rhyming ads for the houses you have to clean. The one for the Dark Knight's house is a little...different.
-->The Dark Knight is as rotten within as the inside of his castle. He's really quite an awful man - in short, he's a big jerk.
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', a Korok sends you on quests with mostly rhyming riddles, until you get to...
-->''Its scales and tail will zap you, no doubt!''\\
''This shocking swimmer is called a...fish.''
