4 | While ''Tools Of Destruction'' may be more of a story- and drama-driven game than the entries seen before it... it's [[Funny/RatchetDeadlocked (again)]] still a ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'' game. |

7 | ---- |
8 | * When the ship Ratchet and Clank stole from Tachyon flies away into space: |
9 | -->'''Computer:''' Engaging cryosleep.\ |
10 | '''Ratchet''': Cryosleep? Nah, nah, there's no way I'm gonna--*snore*\ |
11 | '''Clank''': [[AsideComment It is fortunate cryosleep does not work on robots.]] ''(chuckles)''\ |
12 | ''(A cartoon boxing glove springs out of the console and socks Clank in response to the above)'' |
13 | |
14 | * After obtaining the Robo-Wings: |
15 | -->'''Ratchet''': Clank, have you been upgrading yourself in secret?\ |
16 | '''Clank''': Absolutely not. [[DeadpanSnarker And I do not care much for your tone.]] |
17 | |
18 | * The computer for the escape pod Ratchet and Clank take to Fastoon: "Touchdown in 5... 4..." (lands) "Oops! 3-2-1!" |
19 | |
20 | * Ratchet's "Mustachio Furioso" disguise for the arena on Mukow (See main page) comprised of [[PaperThinDisguise a pair of goofy glasses and a mustache]]. It works well enough for the Drophyds not to notice. |
21 | |
22 | * Despite (or because of) the awkward subject matter, this exchange: |
23 | -->'''Clank''': What are "stones"? ''(checks chest compartment)'' Do I have them?\ |
24 | '''Ratchet''': I'll tell you later... and no. |
25 | |
26 | * Another gem can be found on Rykan V after viewing the informational reel for the Lombax Center for Advanced Research. To wit: |
27 | -->'''Ratchet''': The weapon used to vaporize the cragmites was... a hat. Oh come on, [[TemptingFate no lombax would ever invent something that]] ''[[HypocriticalHumor ridiculous]]''!\ |
28 | '''Clank''': Oh really? [[CallBack What about your Nuclear Powered Rocket Sled?]] [[NoodleIncident Your Antimatter Bathroom Buddy? And let us not forget about the electro-shock undergarments you invented last fall.]]\ |
29 | '''Ratchet''': Stunderwear! ''Huge'' seller on Umbris. |
30 | ** This only becomes better when you realize that, when we were given the opportunity to explore Umbris in the original ''Ratchet & Clank'', the only sentient lifeform present was Captain Qwark. |
31 | ** Just before this, we have the Lombaxes' information video on the Dimensionator. Beyond a bunch of rampant TechnoBabble, we have this gem near the end: |
32 | --->'''Narrator''': ''([[DissonantSerenity very calmly]])'' In the unlikely event that the Dimensionator [[BreadEggsMilkSquick creates a time-space singularity and tears the fabric of the universe asunder]], [[DevelopmentGag please log an "A" bug and notify a programmer immediately.]] |
33 | |
34 | * The Plumber's usual appearance-- from [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall "Almost didn't recognize you in high-def"]] all the way to his-- ahem-- ''[[ToiletHumour exit]]''. That scene was absolutely ''hysterical''...Ratchet probably summed it up the best, really: "What just ''happened''?" |
35 | |
36 | * Towards the end of the game, just before the WhamEpisode, we get this gem during the halo jump onto [[VillainWorld Reepor]]. |
37 | -->'''Cronk''': This reminds me of the time we did a HALO jump with a Lombax and his metal buddy into the Cragmite homeworld. Ah, Zeph, when was that?\ |
38 | '''Zephyr''': Ah, for crying out loud, it's happening right now, you darn fool! |
39 | |
40 | * A scene that can be easily missed because of the [[WhamEpisode dramatic circumstances]] it occurs in: When Tachyon activates the Dimensionator, it unfolds into a contraption several times larger than him. As it's strapped to his head, Tachyon is now severely top-heavy, and visibly struggles to stay upright while delivering his dramatic monologue. |
41 | ** Said contraption also has a ''punching glove'' and a ''Lombax teddy bear'' coming out of it. |
42 | ** What happens just before is also hilarious: Tachyon tries to activate the Dimensionator, but it turns out that old Lombax technology can be a bit tacky sometimes: |
43 | --->'''Tachyon''': ''(dramatically)'' I have waited years for this moment. Finally, the time has come for the Cragmites ''to rise again''! ''(pulls the Dimensionator's startup cord)''\ |
44 | ''([[{{Beat}} nothing happens]])''\ |
45 | '''Tachyon''': Ahem. ''(dramatically, while pulling the cord again)'' ''...To rise again''!\ |
46 | ''(again, nothing happens, brief cuts to the faces of an impatient Ratchet, a confused Qwark and finally Tachyon with a deadpan expression)''\ |
