| 1 | Sometimes, life is funny like that. With an easygoing game like ''Animal Crossing'', there is no shortage of silly, lighthearted moments. |
| 2 | ---- |
| 3 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 4 | [[folder:Multiple Games]] |
| 5 | * The absolutely brilliant guilty pleasure of hitting animals with the butterfly net. On the third time, [[RageBreakingPoint they snap]]. |
| 6 | ** And now in the online age, hitting EACH OTHER with a butterfly net. Or a shovel. Or an axe. Sometimes just hitting each other with tools during online sessions can be a blast, especially if you wear certain accessories. In ''New Leaf'', you can buy a squeaky hammer to bop people with. |
| 7 | ** In ''New Leaf'', you can stumble upon your villagers taking a nap on a bench or tree stump. Hitting them with a net while they're asleep is PRICELESS. |
| 8 | * Sometimes Resetti will take control of the camera and force it into extreme close-up, making himself ''fill the whole screen''! |
| 9 | ** And other times, he'll pop up as usual, only to face the wrong direction. |
| 10 | * Pitfall seeds can be used to shove villagers into a hole as a prank. However, ''you'' can also fall into one. It doesn't exactly help that they're marked the exact same way as a fossil or gyroid digging spot is, which can surprise players not expecting it. |
| 11 | * Dr. Shrunk's jokes in ''City Folk'' and ''New Leaf'' are usually pretty funny, in a SoUnfunnyItsFunny sort of way. |
| 12 | ** His Disagreement joke. Shrunk starts by pointing out that in some cultures, shaking your head side to side means yes instead of no. After talking a bit about how confident he is in his material, he asks the crowd if they think his jokes are funny and insightful. |
| 13 | ---> "Hey, hey, you don't need to agree all at once!" |
| 14 | ** In his "Distress" joke, Shrunk recalls how he tried to compliment his wife on her birthday by saying "Of all the fish in the sea, I caught a whale!" Unfortunately, what distressed him was [[ComplimentBackfire Mrs. Shrunk interpreted it as a fat joke]] and got angry. |
| 15 | ** Shrunk's Embarrassment joke in ''New Leaf'' is lifted word for word from [[ContinuityNod his mentor Frillard]] in ''City Folk''. Unfortunately, the joke relied on Frillard's old age to be funny and Shrunk realizes mid-joke that it makes no sense when he tells it. His embarrassment is palpable. |
| 16 | ** Shrunk's "Glee" joke from ''New Leaf'' has him recall how a palm-reader told him he was very daring... [[StealthInsult because it takes a lot of courage to keep being a comedian when no one laughs at your jokes]]. |
| 17 | ** Similarly, Shrunk's "Joy" joke has him recall how happy he was to hear that someone loves his act... because when he has trouble sleeping, [[NapInducingSpeak he just goes to see one of Shrunk's shows]]. Unlike with the "Glee" joke, Shrunk doesn't seem to notice the back-handed compliment. |
| 18 | ** In Shrunk's "Mistaken" joke, he accidentally blurts out the punchline to the joke ("Because seven ate nine!") before the set-up ("Why was six afraid of seven?") He then wonders to himself why seven was trying to eat nine in the first place. |
| 19 | ** When Shrunk teaches you the "Sneezing" joke and he starts sneezing repeatedly, he'll mutter under his breath "Maybe it's my human allergies coming back again." |
| 20 | * The Reset Surveillance Center. Particularly when a reset happens during your visit. |
| 21 | -->'''Resetti:''' WE GOT A RESET! CODE [[Platform/{{Nintendo 64}} 64]]! ... RANGERS, GO!\ |
| 22 | ''[Resetti is deployed]''\ |
| 23 | '''Resetti:''' ARGH! ''[fading away]'' [[ContinuityNod SOCK]]... |
| 24 | ** Even better in New Leaf where they have a megaphone and you say ''Scramble!'' into it. Resetti frantically trying to [[HypocriticalHumor hit the reset button]] sells it: |
| 25 | ---> '''Resetti:''' ...There ain't no reset button! |
| 26 | * Play Hide-and-Seek with your villagers. If you see one of your villagers hiding behind a tree, chop down the tree with an axe. Their reaction will be priceless. |
| 27 | ** Hide-and-Seek in general is hilarious, if only because the villagers aren't exactly the best at hiding. Not helping when they peek around their tree or building [[BehindTheBlack only to have you]] ''[[BehindTheBlack right in front of them]]''. |
| 28 | ** In City Folk, the game always starts in front of the Town Hall. It's possible to start the game and see an animal hiding right behind the board. |
| 29 | ** In ''New Leaf'', villagers will sometimes try and hide behind any town structures you've built... including ones [[BehindAStick too narrow to hide them]], like a ''lamp post''. |
| 30 | * Lazy villagers tend to be either cute or funny. |
| 31 | ** They can mention while a player is visiting their house in ''New Leaf'' how they ate all of a specific food they were going to give to the player, after apologizing how they had none. |
| 32 | ** In ''New Leaf'', when they talk about ordinances, they think an ordinance of a limit of snacks you could buy is horrible. |
| 33 | ** On April Fools Day, a Lazy villager may try to fool you with the claim that there's a new town ordinance that makes residents eat 5 meals a day. Then after you call them out, they remember you're the mayor--the very person who enacts ordinances in the first place--and realize their attempted prank was doomed from the start. |
| 34 | ** A conversation with a villager, word for word: |
| 35 | --->'''Lazy Villager''': Hey [[HelloInsertNameHere <Player>]], how close do you think our hearts are? *Presents a slider scale. On the right is "Two miles!" on the left is "Two inches."\ |
| 36 | '''Player''': ''[Sets slider scale to the far right]''\ |
| 37 | '''Lazy Villager''': You're right [[HelloInsertNameHere <Player>]], we SHOULD get closer together! *Now wearing a dreamy expression* [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace You smell like milk...]] |
| 38 | * A lot of descriptions of the creatures in the sea life exhibit mention things like how to cook them and what they taste like, even things that most Westerners wouldn't touch. Thanks Japan. |
| 39 | * The Peppy villagers will sometimes talk about their horribly failed attempts at makeup. They include looking like a clown, and drawing on their own eyelids. |
| 40 | * Isabelle has ''[[https://twitter.com/animalcrossing a Twitter account]]''. And it's not a fake account either (well, you can say it's a parody of one, but still)! |
| 41 | ** However, since the announcement of ''New Horizons'', Tom Nook has taken over. Doesn't mean it's not funny, however, and at best probably even funnier because the account change affected past tweets as well; of particular note is [[https://twitter.com/animalcrossing/status/1040387186653245440?s=21 this tweet]] where he gleefully announces that he's been PromotedToPlayable in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''. Tom, that invitation letter was not for you. |
| 42 | ** As of July 3, 2020:[[https://twitter.com/animalcrossing/status/1279037236172865536?s=09 Isabelle]] [[TheBusCameBack has returned to twitter]]... |
| 43 | * The Harvest Festival in pre-''New Leaf'' games, thanks to Franklin averting FurryConfusion. There's something hilarious yet sad about the panicky little guy and the whole situation. |
| 44 | * Pascal the otter's "[[IceCreamKoan deep truths]]", like this one from ''New Leaf'': |
| 45 | -->'''Pascal:''' The best things in life are free, but if you try to sell them, you always seem to make a ''killing'', maaan... |
| 46 | ** Or this from ''City Folk'': |
| 47 | --->'''Pascal:''' If a slacker decides not to slack off, is he still slacking, maaan? |
| 48 | ** The July 2020 update for ''New Horizons'' brought back diving for deep-sea creatures, and with it Pascal and his "deep truths". |
| 49 | --->'''Pascal:''' They say you can't compare apples to oranges, but that falls apart if you think about it for even one second. |
| 50 | ** Then there is one "deep truth" in ''New Horizons'' that's just him saying '''WHAAAAALES.''' |
| 51 | * In the first games the coelacanth is referred to by the player as a "living fossil". In ''New Leaf'' the player says its proper name, then they will ask if they are saying the name right. |
| 52 | * Gulliver says some amusing things while you're trying to wake him up. |
| 53 | --> Lizzy... But you were my lobster...\ |
| 54 | Cinnamon buns are not currency... Not yet, anyway...\ |
| 55 | Oh, no! That's the port side! Starboard is on the right... It's because all starfish are right-handed...\ |
| 56 | * ''[with his eyes open]'' Zzz... I can't believe how seriously unconscious I am right now.\ |
| 57 | ''[On being woken up]'' Oh...Are you my princess? Kiss me and wake me from my endless slumber![[note]]Even funnier if your character is male.[[/note]] |
| 58 | * If, by some rare chance, you don't have enough to buy a cup of coffee at The Roost, Brewster will tell you "that's not 'coo." |
| 59 | * From name to appearance to the books and computers in his house, Graham the hamster resembles [[Series/MasterChef Graham Elliot.]] |
| 60 | * Planting a rotten fruit sprouts a wilted sapling. Yes, wilted from the get-go. Don't ask how or why. |
| 61 | * Pretty much any time your character gets stung. It'll cause their eye to swell shut with small bristles, and the games before ''New Horizons'' have the lower line surrounding the entire bottom half, making it resemble a cookie stuck to their face. Even the reactions of the other visitors adds up to it all. If it's a swarm of wasps that stings them, they'll do an absolutely frantic dance to try to get rid of them, while a cartoonish uptempo jingle plays. |
| 62 | * The player will always have a very loud reaction upon catching the very-rare coelacanth. ''New Leaf'''s reaction? |
| 63 | -->'''Holy fish sticks!''' |
| 64 | * The Japanese ''City Folk'' [[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/ruuj/character/ website]] has short descriptions for the villagers that don't appear anywhere else. Among them: |
| 65 | ** [[https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Kitt Kitt]], a Normal kangaroo who always has a joey with her, has her description[[note]]子は親を見て育つもの。口癖は直した方がいいですよ、ママ。 "Children like to copy their parents. You'd better fix the way you speak, Mama."[[/note]] localized in ''Pocket Camp'' to "Kitt knows babies like to copy their parents, so she's very careful with her language. Wouldn't want the li'l tyke to pick up any naughty words, after all.", but the more direct translation implies that this sweet, gentle single mother [[SirSwearsALot has some trouble doing that]]. |
| 66 | ** [[https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Mac Mac]] the Jock bulldog's description[[note]]う～ん、何と言うか…その～…個性的な顔立ちをしてますね。[[/note]] that directly translates into "[[DamnedByFaintPraise Well... don't you have an, uh... interesting face]]." |
| 67 | ** [[https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Sydney Sydney]] the Normal koala's description[[note]]なんか彼女の鼻って取り外しができそうに見えるんだけど…。[[/note]] talks about how [[LivingApart her nose looks like it can be taken off]]. |
| 68 | * ''New Leaf'' replaces Sable's PlotParallel with an unlockable sewing machine. Nonetheless, there's some pretty funny dialogue. |
| 69 | -->'''Sable:''' So [[HelloInsertNameHere <Player>]], what kind of clothes do you really like?\ |
| 70 | '''Mabel:''' Hmm... It has to be... green-and-white, gingham plaid of course.[[labelnote:explanation]]The pattern on her apron[[/labelnote]]\ |
| 71 | '''Sable:''' Ugh! Not everyone wants the Mabel special, no matter how much you keep trying! |
| 72 | ** And the last time she tried was in City Folk, with a similar conversation cropping up after you get a friendship with Sable. |
| 73 | ** It reappears in New Horizons, where Sable gives what would be a perfect statement for the OpinionMyopia quotes page if it still had one. |
| 74 | -->'''Sable:''' [[HelloInsertNameHere <Player>]], what kind of clothing do you usually like? How would you describe your style?\ |
| 75 | '''Mabel:''' Ooh! I'll bet I know! You're all about like... a green and white checkered pattern... maybe on an apron...\ |
| 76 | '''Sable:''' Mabes. You're doing the thing where you think everyone is you again. |
| 77 | [[/folder]] |
| 78 | [[folder:''Animal Crossing'' (GCN)]] |
| 79 | * In one commercial for the [=GameCube=] version: |
| 80 | -->'''Leslie''': Nice outfit. Where'd you get that, a garbage dump?\ |
| 81 | '''Kelli''': Uh... yeah. |
| 82 | ** Makes it funnier when you realize that they're wearing the same design, just in different colors. |
| 83 | * Show up to work out of uniform at Tom Nook's store in the [=GameCube=] game. On occasion he'll go into a lunatic tirade about kids your age, though the look on his face and the accompanying sound and dialogue box that you see when you enter should be enough to make your sides ache. |
| 84 | * In the [=GameCube=] versions, Resetti will eventually pull a prank where he pretends to reset all your data, and then after the prank is done the game goes back to normal, and then Resetti goes on to [[LampshadeHanging mention how he probably made the player throw their controller or kick their TV]]. |
| 85 | * From 6 am to 7 am during the summer, the villagers take part in morning aerobics. during this, they all perform exercises in sync. However, on occasion, one of them will do a wrong move. Upon noticing, they go into a panic. |
| 86 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W9JkZ2nACo 1 PM]] in the [=GameCube=] game is quite amusing, especially if a nearby pet reacts to it when the game is being played. |
| 87 | [[/folder]] |
| 88 | [[folder:''Wild World'']] |
| 89 | * Giving Blathers a cockroach in ''Wild World'' is funny as all hell, [[BigNo thanks to part of his reaction]] when he opens the conversation when you hand it over to him. If you try to step on the cockroach you gave to the Museum, a VERY sarcastic reminder will appear saying that the cockroach is a "thoughtful donation from the player" and asks the patrons to not step on it. In addition, Blathers will even ask why cockroaches are part of the Museum's collection. |
| 90 | * In ''Wild World'', if you're railroaded into buying Lyle's insurance, you can avoid it by deliberately not carrying enough money. [[BerserkButton He is not happy to discover this.]] |
| 91 | -->'''Lyle''': '''OOOHH, YOU'RE BUSTING MY CHOPS HERE!!!!''' -it's alright, it's alright... |
| 92 | * Cornimer during the Oak Festival is clearly just Tortimer in an acorn mask. The game plays this disguise dead straight though, emphasizing again and again what a "mysterious figure" he is and how he's only "associated" with Tortimer. |
| 93 | ** He clearly enjoys playing this character as well, singing songs and making up rhymes related to the festivities. |
| 94 | ---> ''[singing) "Just call me Cornimer, the Mysterious! Grab acorns 'til you're delirious!"'' |
| 95 | [[/folder]] |
| 96 | [[folder:''City Folk/Let's Go to the City'']] |
| 97 | * On April Fool's Day, Tortimer gives you a "leaf" furniture. When you put it down in your house...it's a furniture shaped like the furniture icon. It's basically ShapedLikeItself given form! |
| 98 | * Zipper T. Bunny in ''City Folk'' often mutters how much he hates doing this job. |
| 99 | * Dr. Shrunk the Psychiatrist is trying his hand at stand-up comedy in City Folk. Visiting his show earns you an emote, but the real reward it is speaking to the audience members after the show to hear them complain about how abysmally un-funny Shrunk is. |
| 100 | * Serena, the goddess of the fountain in ''City Folk''. About 90% of what she says is comedy. |
| 101 | -->'''Serena:''' I bet you're just the type of person who goes around throwing axes into people's living rooms, aren't you?\ |
| 102 | '''Serena:''' That axe is really cool. I mean, for an axe. It's not like a gold eyelash curler or something!\ |
| 103 | '''Serena:''' Everyone expects a goddess to have infinite patience, but I can't stand ambiguous answers. |
| 104 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD2cd5HJD9g This person's attempt.]] They didn't even get a chance to talk! |
| 105 | * ''City Folk'' has some funny Resetti rants. The ones toward the bottom of [[http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Resetti/City_Folk_dialogues this page]] are generally hilarious. |
| 106 | [[/folder]] |
| 107 | [[folder:''New Leaf'']] |
| 108 | * In ''New Leaf'', when taking part in a multiplayer fishing or bug catching island tour players will shout "Yay, a [fish/bug]!" whenever they catch something, presumably so that other players can see what they're doing. This can lead to amusing situations where players can be seen shouting, for example, "Yay! A Piranha!" or something equally strange. |
| 109 | * Mabel's reaction to [[WholesomeCrossdresser a male character trying on a dress or skirt that's on display]]. |
| 110 | -->'''Mabel''': Well, I guess it's okay to be a little [[DoubleEntendre adventurous]]. |
| 111 | * The BigOMG your character says after catching a big bug or fish, such as the whale shark, in ''New Leaf''. |
| 112 | ** The fact that your character can hold a shark that's about twenty feet with just ONE hand. |
| 113 | --->'''Player:''' I caught a shark! GAH! [[TooDumbToLive Why am I holding it?!]] |
| 114 | ** The response to catching a tarantula is pretty funny, mostly because of how blunt it is: |
| 115 | --->'''Player:''' I caught a tarantula! WHAAAA! Destroy it! |
| 116 | * If you go to the island with one guy and one girl Kapp'n will assume that the two are married and on their honeymoon. |
| 117 | ** "Are you two eloping?" |
| 118 | * ''New Leaf'' now includes a screen capture function and a website for posting them to Website/{{Facebook}}, Website/{{Twitter}}, and Website/{{Tumblr}} directly from the 3DS browser. To say many of the things people have uploaded (particularly on Tumblr) are absolute comedic gold would be a great understatement. |
| 119 | -->'''PLAYER 1:''' That piranha wants to come out...\ |
| 120 | '''PLAYER 2:''' Looks like he wants to\ |
| 121 | '''PLAYER 2:''' [[{{Pun}} Tap that glass.]]\ |
| 122 | '''PLAYER 1:''' [[LamePunReaction Bye.]] |
| 123 | * In ''New Leaf'', [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential if you're a rotten jerk]], Isabelle's reaction if you wish to delete your save file is both adorable and hilarious, especially thanks to her DelayedReaction. |
| 124 | * The conversation ending option for Lyle in ''New Leaf'' is "You're scaring me." |
| 125 | * Lyle mentions to The Mayor that he and Tom Nook were invited over to the Able Sisters' for some bread pudding, and Tom immediately gets flustered, starts sweating and adjusting his tie, and responds "Yes, delicious bread pudding!" With the ShipTease in ''City Folk'' that him and Sable may have once been a thing, it really makes you wonder.... |
| 126 | * If you manage to pay off ALL loans for your house in ''New Leaf'' (which may take 7.5 million bells), Tom Nook will celebrate your financial successes by singing an old Nook ancestral song...which is in Raccoonish. So the raccoon chattering he sings comes off as gibberish to us. Comes with a side FridgeBrilliance, as it implies his ancestors may have been regular non-talking raccoons at one point. |
| 127 | * Saharah's silly dialogue gets amped up in ''New Leaf''. |
| 128 | -->'''Saharah''': I have many wallpapers for the papering of walls. Many carpets for the petting of cars. |
| 129 | * Most of the fortunes in ''New Leaf'' are hilarious. |
| 130 | ** "When all else fails, don't forget to [[VideoGame/FZero show them]] [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros your moves]]." |
| 131 | ** "[[VideoGame/StarFox Your friends need you]]. [[ArtificialStupidity They will always need you.]] ''[[EscortGame They will never stop.]]''" |
| 132 | ** The simple act of eating a fortune cookie. You scarf it down, ''then'' fish the paper out of your mouth. |
| 133 | * A potential conversation between a Lazy villager and a Smug villager involves the Smug villager [[ExpospeakGag boasting in posh-sounding terms]] about [[MundaneMadeAwesome eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich]]. |
| 134 | * [[http://images.wikia.com/animalcrossing/images/3/31/Cherrynl.jpg Sisterly villagers will often salute potatoes.]] |
| 135 | * Kapp'n singing in ''New Leaf'' can be either a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming]], or this. |
| 136 | ** Sometimes he talks about how he "toots more than just his horn". |
| 137 | ** Or how when he first took his wife out, [[LoveMakesYouDumb he forgot shoes]]. |
| 138 | ** To females, when he drops you off at home: "Am I getting a touch o' the sea madness, or did you become even cuter on the way over? ''[pause]'' ...Nah, must be the sea madness." |
| 139 | ** Apparently, he once tried out for a sports team and was so focused on doing his best during tryouts, he only realized by the time he'd made the team...that it was a ''girls''[='=] team! Whoops. |
| 140 | * The letter that came with the "Pile of Leaves" DownloadableContent in ''New Leaf'': |
| 141 | -->[[cinnamon:Dear [[HelloInsertNameHere <Player>]],]]\ |
| 142 | When's the last time you went for a jump in a pile of freshly raked leaves? Then jump away - our treat!\ |
| 143 | Note: Not responsible for [[ARareSentence leaf-jumping injuries]].\ |
| 144 | [[cinnamon:From the leafy bunch]] |
| 145 | * Leif refers to products in his store as "a happy X". Even if it's, say, an axe. |
| 146 | * Some conversations with villagers at the Roost are hilarious. One conversation with an Sisterly villager goes like this. |
| 147 | -->'''Sisterly:''' Hey, Brewster, what's the name of that [seasonal] blend you were working on?\ |
| 148 | '''Brewster:''' [Season] Storm.\ |
| 149 | '''Sisterly:''' Brewster, are you OK? Is it safe to drink? [=OhmygoshIwantsomerightnow=]! |
| 150 | * In ''New Leaf'', if the player talks to Isabelle from behind her desk, she says this gem. |
| 151 | -->'''Isabelle:''' Umm... Hi. Did you need something? I know it's silly, but if you want to talk about ([[purple:[town name]]]), you'll need to talk to me over the counter. Or if you want to flex your mayoral muscle, you can sit in the mayor's chair. |
| 152 | * If the player tries to wake up Cyrus... |
| 153 | -->'''Reese:''' '''SSSTOPPPPPPP!''' |
| 154 | ** Especially amusing when you consider [[HypocriticalHumor she is shouting at the top of her lungs to tell you not to wake her husband up]]. |
| 155 | * During the second week after starting the game in ''New Leaf'', the player can find Isabelle sleeping at her desk. Of course, she gives a lame excuse if the player wakes her up. She's so hard on herself! |
| 156 | -->'''Isabelle:''' [-Zzzzzz...-] '''AHHHH!''' Mayor [[HelloInsertNameHere <Player>]]! It's NotWhatItLooksLike! OK, [[AvertedTrope it's exactly what it looks like]]... But I was dreaming about work! I promise! |
| 157 | * If the player fills the flower bed in the gardening tour, Tortimer will call the player "Speedy [=McGreen=] Thumb". |
| 158 | * On April Fool's Day in ''New Leaf'', the faceless cat Blanca impersonates your villagers and forces you to identify the real one. With sisterly villagers, this leads to lengthy back-and-forth arguments about which one is a [[{{Malaproper}} wafflehanger]]. |
| 159 | * In ''New Leaf'', sometimes when you find someone while playing hide and seek, they'll say this gem: |
| 160 | -->'''Villager:''' Aw [[UnusualEuphemism pancakes]]! You found me! |
| 161 | * The back-and-forth between Blanca and snooty villagers in ''New Leaf'''s April Fool's Day event: |
| 162 | -->'''Snooty 1''': [Catchphrase], what's going on? Why are there... two of me? Who is this imposter?\ |
| 163 | '''Snooty 2''': Imposter? How dare you. I'm the one and only <Name>.\ |
| 164 | '''Snooty 1''': Wait. What am... I... doing here? I mean, I'm me, but who is THAT? I'm kind of flattered in a weird way, but on the other hand, this really dilutes my brand. What is going on?\ |
| 165 | '''Snooty 2''': Dilutes YOUR brand? [[LongList Well, I'm the CEO, president, dictator, and logo of the [Name] brand.]] In other words, I'm the real [Name]!\ |
| 166 | ''[after the player successfully identifies Blanca]''\ |
| 167 | '''Real villager''': How dare you dress up like me without express written consent! |
| 168 | * Fortune #28 |
| 169 | --> Cannons are [[ProjectileToast much like toasters]], though bread is bad for cannons. |
| 170 | ** This gets you a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bill Blaster]]. |
| 171 | * When returning a cranky villager's package to a snooty villager in ''New Leaf'': "[Name] returned it AND wrapped it? That's surprising. He's usually such a bull in a china shop. Nothing against bulls, of course. [[{{Metaphorgotten}} They're just usually so furious when wrapping presents.]]" |
| 172 | ** Even funnier when you realize that [[FantasticRacism bulls are one of the species you can get as villagers]]. |
| 173 | * On the off-chance you want to reset a neighbor's clothes, catchphrase, or letters, you can report it to Isabelle so she can deal with it. What she says on ''how'' she'll deal with it is pretty funny. |
| 174 | -->'''Isabelle''' [on inappropriate clothes]: I should make him/her wear a barrel for a day to learn to respect the clothes on his/her back! |
| 175 | * In ''New Leaf'', the Halloween mask quest reveals that Cranky wolf villagers are terrified of werewolves. |
| 176 | ** It also reveals that Lazy dogs are afraid of mummies. One such Lazy dog happens to be Lucky, who's [[{{Mummy}} wrapped in bandages, and whose house is styled after an Egyptian tomb, complete with pyramids]]. |
| 177 | * In ''New Leaf'', if a Cranky villager is visiting and you have a vacuum, this exchange will result: |
| 178 | -->'''Cranky Villager:''' "Is that one of those [[BuffySpeak vroom-vroom things]]? Those things scare the bejeesus out of me!!" |
| 179 | ** Extra points if he's a dog, or the species is extremely cute, extremely scary, or just a common house pet species. |
| 180 | * In ''New Leaf'', a snooty villager can discuss reading with you, and she'll ask if you look for new books or reread old material. The text for the third option (saying you don't read much) is "Reading? LOL!" |
| 181 | ** Similarly, a snooty villager will ask you if you can fetch her some fruit, since she wants to cut down on desserts. If you choose to agree, the text option says "Yes! Yay, fruit!" Bonus points to the villager's approach, which is something like. "You can't have [dessert] all the time! Can you? Because if you can, please tell me!" |
| 182 | * During K.K. Slider's Saturday night shows in ''New Leaf'', while K.K. is playing, the camera sometimes situates itself so that you can see Dr. Shrunk dancing away in the background, doing his goofy Shrunk Funk Shuffle. Especially hilarious if he's dancing to [[SoundtrackDissonance a totally inappropriate song]] like K.K. Dirge. |
| 183 | * When Leap Day comes around, Isabelle greets you with "Did you know it's Leap Day today?" ...only to realize that nothing is going to happen for that specific day. So she makes up a special occasion that lasts for just the start-up screen. |
| 184 | -->'''Isabelle''': HAPPY LEAP DAY!! Okay, that's it. Leap Day's accounted for. See you in four years. |
| 185 | * There used to be a glitch[[note]]Unfortunately patched in the ''welcome amiibo'' update[[/note]] in ''New Leaf'', where you can trap yourself at a corner of the river (with dug holes) and run until you trip (bad luck days or while wearing the King Tut Mask), which will send you off the ground and allow you to casually walk through the river and fish. It's even possible to walk up the waterfall! |
| 186 | * Sisterly villagers will sometimes become paranoid that fish are invading the village and another villager is secretly a fish in disguise and ask you to bring her one to see. Your options make this so much better. |
| 187 | -->'''"Yeah! Stop the invasion!"'''\ |
| 188 | '''"No way! Fish rule!"''' |
| 189 | * A Snooty villager may ask you if you believe in [=UFOs=]. Turns out she's actually talking about [[AcronymConfusion Unidentified Floor Oranges]]. |
| 190 | -->'''Snooty villager:''' I don't know who they belong to, or how they got on my floor, but I do eat them! |
| 191 | * Catching a rare Saddled Bichir in ''New Leaf''. |
| 192 | -->Wow! A saddled bichir!\ |
| 193 | Now I’m saddled with guilt! |
| 194 | * When two female villagers, one Normal, one Peppy, talk to each other in ''New Leaf'', they'll sometimes have a "girl chat". |
| 195 | -->'''Normal:''' Girl chat, you say? That sounds like fun. How do we "girl chat"?\ |
| 196 | '''Peppy:''' Well, we can talk about clothes... or boys... or makeup... [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment or boys...]] I dunno- all sorts of things! |
| 197 | * One conversation in ''New Leaf'' between sisterly villagers and snooty villagers is about the snooty villager asking on what the sisterly villager puts on her face. When the sisterly villager denies it, the snooty villager gets angry and after a while of explaining on how much makeup she puts on, she then turns to you and asks if you know anything about this. Telling her she looks fine will cause her to blush and thank you before commenting that if she knows what the sisterly villager puts on her face, her skin will look smoother, causing the sisterly villager to reveal that she puts on a pack, which can range from apple pack to cheesecake pack, and the snooty villager likes the idea and thanks the sisterly villager. |
| 198 | * When doing a celebration for a Public Works Project's completion, there is a chance that a villager that appeared in it to be right in front of you to ping you. Bonus points if it is a Public Works Project request. |
| 199 | * In ''New Leaf'', one conversation that peppy villagers can bring up is the fact that she is super hyper and can't stop. When you tell her to run around, she may occasionally say that she will keep running and then falls asleep briefly, curing her of the hyper feeling. And when that happens, you need to press the A button again. |
| 200 | ** The second option is "bonk on the head", which she realizes refers to the toy hammers that players can buy from the island. She'll either hate the idea, calling those toy hammers a bane of existence, or think you mean her hitting ''other people'' with the hammer and ''[[OhCrap love the idea]]''! |
| 201 | ** The third option is a pitfall one, in which the peppy villager will say that it is a good idea and calls you a genius. |
| 202 | * Jocks will occasionally say "Aw, barbells." This quote can occasionally become a RunningGag if you have a jock villager in the village. |
| 203 | ** When they request for you to catch a certain bug, they may say "'''Dargblargit!'''" |
| 204 | ** And if you give a jock villager a perfect fruit, they occasionally say "'''Yummahumma!'''" |
| 205 | * The [[NoodleIncident lipstick incident]] that Peppy villagers can bring up: |
| 206 | -->'''Peppy:''' Recently, I thought I'd try out some crazy makeup techniques. You know, just for fun? But then I drew around my eyes with my lipstick...and I totally looked like a clown! Then I bumped into [random villager name], who didn't even laugh. I so do NOT want to be a sad clown, [catchphrase]. I'm not going to do that whole lipstick experiment ever again, <player name]! |
| 207 | * Successfully clearing the request from a villager to bring another villager to their house within one hour can result in this when peppy villagers enter a snooty villager's house. |
| 208 | -->'''Snooty:''' Well, it seems silly now that I have to say it out loud, but I had a weird dream I wanted to tell you about. You were elected "[town name]'s Ambassador to the Galaxy," and we were going to blast you into space. I thought maybe my dream meant you were moving away in real life. Please tell me you aren't!\ |
| 209 | '''Peppy:''' I don't understand. Have I or have I not been elected "[town name]'s Ambassador to the Galaxy"? Ha! I'm, like, totally kidding. It sounds fun to blast around in space, though. I'd be all "FWOOOSH!" But I bet it's cold and dark up there. So, thanks, [snooty villager], but I'll pass. |
| 210 | ** There is also a jock villager variant when you bring the requested jock villager to the snooty villager's house: |
| 211 | --->'''Snooty:''' I suppose this is kind of weird, but I had a dream about you the other night. You were going to launch into space to test the effects of weightlessness on muscle growth. And, well, I just wanted to check to make sure you weren't moving away or anything in real life.\ |
| 212 | '''Jock:''' Oh! Well, I was contacted by a government agency...but it didn't have anything to do with space. They just wanted to hear a little about the experimental martial art I invented... <jock villager's name> Fu. So there's nothing to worry about. Unless you're up against a talented <jock villager's name>-Fu artist, that is. |
| 213 | ** Similarly, if you successfully complete a cranky villager's request to bring a peppy villager to his house, it is assumed that the cranky villager gave the peppy villager a favor to visit his house at a certain time, and the cranky villager angrily states that the peppy villager never showed up for their discussion about fishing. The peppy villager acts puzzled, saying she never recalled the cranky villager telling her that, and the trend is now catching bugs. |
| 214 | * The conversation in the Roost that a snooty villager can bring up: |
| 215 | -->'''Snooty:''' Hey, <player name>, do you know the difference between real coffee and a coffee drink? Real coffee, like the stuff Brewster serves here, is simply made from roasted ground coffee beans. A coffee drink could be anything. You never know what you're getting.\ |
| 216 | '''Brewster:''' Yes. I serve only the finest house-roasted beans harvested from shade-grown-\ |
| 217 | '''Snooty (turning to Brewster in annoyance):''' OK, OK, Brewster. We get it. |
| 218 | ** There is also another conversation in the Roost that a snooty villager can bring up: |
| 219 | --->'''Snooty:''' I never thought I'd say this, but it would actually be nice if this place offered breakfast or lunch...\ |
| 220 | '''Brewster:''' But... [[OneNoteChef I only know how to make coffee...]]\ |
| 221 | '''Snooty:''' Ha! Gotcha. I know-I was only joking. You seem tense... You should relax and have a cup yourself! |
| 222 | * If a Smug villager comes over to your house and you have a piece of furniture from the Citrus, Pear, or Juicy-Apple Sets, he might comment on how you can eat it in an emergency... then he realizes the furniture isn't really edible. |
| 223 | -->'''Smug:''' I've been tricked by fruit furniture, [[OhNoNotAgain again!]] (''bursts into tears, then suddenly stops'') Okay, I'm over it now. |
| 224 | * Gifting villagers bells for their birthday leads to some humorous reactions. For example, here's what a Jock villager says: |
| 225 | --> '''Jock:''' Huh?! Bells?! Do I look like a little kid to you? I can't take your money! |
| 226 | * If you visit a Smug villager who has a houseplant in his home, he'll say that he's just like a flower: he grabs everyone's attention [[{{Metaphorgotten}} and is full of pollen]]. Then he realizes [[LampshadeHanging that metaphor doesn't work very well]]. |
| 227 | * "Turnips are very sensitive to time paradoxes." While ItMakesSenseInContext[[note]]Setting the system's clock backwards will instantly kill all turnips to prevent players from just [[NoFairCheating waiting out the entire week then going back to when their turnip prices are highest]][[/note]], it's still [[ARareSentence not something you'd expect to hear from Joan]]. An interesting note is that this bizarre line and the mechanic it's tied to is the only time in the entire series that the [[BrokenBase often-debated]] exploit of "time traveling" is explicitly acknowledged in-universe. It feels like it comes completely out of nowhere. |

| 229 | [[folder:''New Leaf - Welcome amiibo!'']] |
| 230 | * The FlavorText for interacting with a Wii U console in a van. |
| 231 | -->It's a Wii U console! It comes with Desert Island Escape? There goes my afternoon... |
| 232 | * If you try to scan a ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' Villager amiibo, Wisp will say that he can't turn into him, because he's "too legendary". You still get his RV though. |
| 233 | ** Perhaps the most hilarious part of this is that One of the Smash Bros. Villager's furniture items is a ''giant gold statue of himself''. It in itself being a CallBack to the original game. |
| 234 | * Scanning a special NPC's amiibo will result in Wisp taking their place for the rest of the day while the NPC is in their RV at the campground. This also has the effect of the NPC's service being unavailable for the day (though Mr. Resetti will still appear when the game is reset), because Wisp has no idea what to do in their stead. Of note is Wisp in Tom Nook's place, because he apparently ''crashed all of Nook's software''. |
| 235 | * In the Desert Island Escape minigame in New Leaf, each villager type and special NPC has a unique ability. For example, Brewster has the Chef du Jour ability that lets him cook food, and Resetti has the Tunnel Digger ability that lets him dig tunnels to get to faraway places. What ability does Gracie have? ''Fearless,'' the one that makes her ''excellent in combat and able to crush rocks with her bare hands.'' Do NOT mess with the fashion designer. |
| 236 | * Some of the animations involving Harvey, including birds sitting on his head, and dancing by the fire with a tambourine. |
| 237 | * Ganon as a villager. Just imagine the demon king reincarnated watering flowers. It's pretty much [[TheComicallySerious the Zelda version of Batman makes anything funny.]] |
| 238 | * Reselling your town to Nook means that, for once, ''he is the one giving you millions of Bells''. |
| 239 | * Examining wardrobes, dressers and the like can sometimes produce the message, "What is seen cannot be unseen." |
| 240 | [[/folder]] |
| 241 | |
| 242 | [[folder:''Happy Home Designer'']] |
| 243 | * One of the trailers for ''Happy Home Designer'' shows off amiibo cards. The particular one shows off Molly the duck, who has a request to make a publishing house as her home. The commercial continues fairly normally until the last few seconds where she and the player eat at a fancy restaurant [[MoodWhiplash and then Molly ends up in the hospital with food poisoning]]. |
| 244 | * This quote from ''Happy Home Designer'', which perfectly describes lazy players: |
| 245 | --> '''Isabelle''': I had a mayor who up and left for ''TWO YEARS''. Can you believe it? Oh, the town of AAAAA was rough. |
| 246 | * In an office environment in ''Happy Home Designer'', an animal encounters an "Internal server error"...[[HopelessWithTech and asks if the company sells that, and wants to order 100 more internal server errors, just in case]]. |
| 247 | ** Another line you can get: "Look alive, folks! We're gonna do one of those hostile-takeover-type... thingies! Now... who knows how to do one of those? Do we just walk over to another company and start a fight?" |
| 248 | ** If you speak to a Jock villager working at a computer setup, he'll hit Alt and F4[[note]]The shortcut to closing Windows programs[[/note]] and accidentally delete all his work. |
| 249 | * In the school, students will often be running around the classroom or asleep at their desks, completely ignoring the teacher. |
| 250 | * While this can apply to any game, in ''Happy Home Designer'', encountering [[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkfWBpLLA a villager who shares your name]] can lead to funny results: |
| 251 | -->'''Lottie''': Tom, head over to the site with Tom. Go get 'em, tiger! |
| 252 | ** Even better when you realize with him around, there's a total of four Toms in the game.[[labelnote:explanation]]Tom the player, Tom the cat, Tom Nook, and Tommy Nook.[[/labelnote]] |
| 253 | * Some of the house requests in ''Happy Home Designer'' are just plain ridiculous. Like a superhero cafeteria (Big Top), or a bus station, or a hat shop (Anchovy). |
| 254 | ** Rizzo the mouse wants: "I want a hideout where no one will ever be able to find me!" |
| 255 | ** Rasher the pig: "I want my place to look like the hideout of a criminal mastermind." |
| 256 | ** Meanwhile, Renee the rhino says: "I want to relive the days I spent playing in a vacant lot." |
| 257 | ** Octavian's request is: "I want a place that shows my [[Franchise/{{Splatoon}} mastery over squid."]] Doubles as [[Awesome/AnimalCrossing awesome]] when you not only realize the reference, but also see just ''what'' some people have done with his house. |
| 258 | ** Shep the dog just straight up wants "A life on the street" ''inside his home''. You can easily add a guitar into his house, portraying him as a busker of sorts. |
| 259 | ** Chadder wants a cheese paradise! |
| 260 | ** O'Hare wants a tropical resort. |
| 261 | * Here are some examples of varying hospital designs people might see online: Average hospital, average, yet pastel hospital, average creepy hospital, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick sex club]]... wait, what was that last one? |
| 262 | * Happy Home Designer has online "Challenge" designs, the second of which is themed around "A battle between giants". While it's quite obvious that you get a awesome "robo hero" piece that looks like something out of Franchise/{{Transformers}}, the other piece you're rewarded with is a '''''giant inflatable Resetti.''''' It also has an alternate design to give its face the screaming look that's made us players both laugh and cry! |
| 263 | * If you chat with Reese, she might share the story of [[MeetCute how she and Cyrus met]]. |
| 264 | -->'''Reese:''' I was minding my own business, when a handsome, rugged alpaca drove by on his motorcycle. Our eyes met... [[DistractedByTheSexy and he crashed right into an ice-cream truck]]. [[RescueRomance I took him to the emergency room]], and we've been together ever since. |
| 265 | [[/folder]] |
| 266 | |
| 267 | [[folder:''Pocket Camp'']] |
| 268 | * ''Pocket Camp'' players have been making all sorts of ridiculous campsites, from jail cells (surrounding a chair with large fences; bonus points if it's Tom Nook's chair) to lamp cults (have nothing but lamps at your campsite and the villagers will do nothing but turn them on and off repeatedly) to fire hazards (surrounding everything with gas cans). This extends to the campers as well, with people making weed/meth labs. |
| 269 | * Paint your camper with flames, put on a flame shirt, tiny glasses, and spiky blond hair, and you are now Guy Fieri on a one-way trip to Flavortown. |
| 270 | [[/folder]] |
| 271 | [[folder:''New Horizons'']] |
| 272 | * ''New Horizons'' lets you set a title for yourself in your passport, which is put together by connecting two keywords or terms together. You could be something like a "New Leaf Islander" for example, or have a silly-sounding one, such as being an [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment "Animal Animal" or a "Deserted-island Island Dweller"]]. One of the keywords is "trash", which can lead to a number of self-deprecating titles for oneself. WordSaladHumor is also a possibility; if you want to call yourself an Atmospheric Klutz or a Pro Phoenix, go ahead. |
| 273 | * Speaking of WordSaladHumor, Wilbur's "codenames" are just a bunch of words thrown together that often don't make coherent sense. One flight he could be "Bellbottom disco", the next he could be "Trainwreck peach peels." |
| 274 | * Because the camera for taking passport photos is the same as that for the [=NookPhone=]'s camera app, there's a great deal of room for creativity with your own passport photos in spite of the significantly reduced field-of-view, which can lead to some pretty hilarious results. In fact, there's nothing stopping you from taking a picture of something other than yourself, to the point where, with some clever furniture placement, you can use something as absurd as [[https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/g1jx0e/first_game_ive_played_where_i_can_truly_represent/ a picture of a fish]] as your passport photo. Even funnier following the Version 2.0. update, where your passport photo is shown in Katrina's crystal ball when seeing your luck, meaning that said fish or other shows up in Katrina's visions. |
| 275 | * If you look at your island's native fruit in your inventory before finishing the tutorial quest to get Tom Nook some fruit, the fruit is named "<fruit>?" Not even the game is sure if that apple you picked up is, in fact, an apple. |
| 276 | ** Tom Nook explaining to you that he has investigated the <fruit> while you were running around gathering supplies and has determined that it is, in fact, actual <fruit>. |
| 277 | * There are furniture items that let players change clothes in ''New Horizons''. There are the items that would make sense for this action (a dresser or a standing mirror), and there's a possibility of trying out clothes when interacting with a refrigerator [[https://twitter.com/prinzcake/status/1242844531730419713 or a freezer.]] |
| 278 | * While the majority of bugs you can catch in ''New Horizons'' are displayed in appropriately sized bug cages, all "pest" insects (fly, flea, ant, and mosquito) are kept in... [[https://i.redd.it/djurmf3x65o41.jpg an overturned cup on a piece of paper]]. On the other side, larger fish need an entire ''pool'' to sit in when most fish are happy with a tank. As for the snapping turtle, spider crab, and horseshoe crab (the latter two being deep sea creatures)? ''They don't have tanks.'' They're content chilling on dry land; the snapping turtle hisses when you interact with it, the spider crab [[https://twitter.com/kaylee_acnh/status/1279075538548797440?s=19 takes up lots of space with its long legs]], and the horseshoe crab rolls on its back when interacted. |
| 279 | * Speaking of the ant, once you contribute it to the museum, close examination of the exhibit shows the ants escaping through a gap in the exhibit in order to make their way over to the coffee cup in the lab area. They're after the lumps of sugar next to the coffee. Blathers, you might wanna get that fixed... |
| 280 | * Similarly, the centipede can find its way out at night, curled up in random places. Blathers, we know you don't like going in there, but you should seriously get those enclosures checked... |
| 281 | * ''New Horizons'' introduces a clothing item called a [[https://chowdonut.tumblr.com/post/613288142902018048/this-is-harrowing-what-is-thisssss "meme shirt"]]. It's got a suitably ridiculous picture of [[TheInternetIsForCats a cat's head]] shooting EyeBeams on it. It also happens to be the villager Biskit's default outfit. |
| 282 | * Once your starting jock villager upgrades from a tent to a house, he'll note, "Finally, I can do jumping jacks [[NoodleIncident without tearing a hole in my roof again!]]" |
| 283 | * One possible conversation with a lazy villager notes that he has a beef with those that despise pineapple on pizza, fear clowns, or have an issue with the word "moist", thinking they're just trend followers. He later mentions pizza is whatever you love...and lists "onions, peppers, pineapple, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick moist clowns]], and hot, melty cheese". |
| 284 | ** Also from a lazy villager who recalls his favorite cooking show: |
| 285 | --->''"'Polenta Station!' It was a kid's cooking show with [[NoOSHACompliance NO adult supervision]]! The food was terrible, everything was sticky, and there were so many lawsuits! So many!"'' |
| 286 | ** The lazy villagers' writing in general is phenomenal. Such as when they visit another villager for their birthday: |
| 287 | --->''"Let's make this better than my sixth birthday party! That was when a clown came into my house and never came out! My mom says sometimes you can still hear honking in the walls..."'' |
| 288 | * Some of Blathers' ramblings when you ask him to tell you about a donation: |
| 289 | ** ''(discussing subspecies of sea bass)'' "WILL NO ONE THINK OF THE [[InherentlyFunnyWords PINK MAOMAO]]?!" |
| 290 | ** "Butterfly? Bah! More like snake of the sky!" |
| 291 | ** "Such speculation [of ''Dunkleosteus''[='=]s appearance] is not scientific, of course, and essentially amounts to paleontological fan fiction. [-I own that.-]" |
| 292 | ** "Does it still count as bravery if you have no understanding of what you're doing?" |
| 293 | ** "Were there no other names [for the red snapper]? What about 'burgundy biter'? 'Garnet grasper'? 'Puce pincher'?" |
| 294 | ** "''NO, WAIT''— [the snapping turtle] is ''BEST'' known for [[NoodleIncident that time one chased me across a parking lot and I had to climb on top of a car]]." |
| 295 | ** He actually gets ''angry'' when present the sweetfish fact. "Some even say summer can't start without sweetfish...despite the ''KEY'' role played by the earth's axial tilt!" |
| 296 | ** "I could learn a thing or two from the pale chub." |
| 297 | ** "While [''Quetzalcoatlus''] no doubt soared magnificently, we now know that it also crawled on all fours. It's a bit disappointing, really... This illustrious sky god scrabbling on the ground like a common beetle... They say you should never meet your heroes..." |
| 298 | * One possible conversation with a peppy villager when they're carrying a net will mention how dead set they are to catch a bug today. |
| 299 | -->'''Peppy:''' Even if it lands on your head, I'll swoop my net down and it'll be mine! (''{{Beat}}'') [-The bug. Not your head. You can keep that.-] |
| 300 | * If a peppy villager asks if you're into comic books and you tell her you like "romantic comedies", she says that her favorite is a YuriGenre story about two princesses... [[ActionGirl the Princess of Rocket-Boarding and the Princess of Explosions]]. |
| 301 | * If your home gets an expansion, one of your neighbors will send you a present congratulating you. If it's a Lazy villager that sends you one, they ''cannot'' spell "congratulations" if their life depended on it. |
| 302 | --> To my snackbuddy,\ |
| 303 | Congraps, [[HelloInsertNameHere <Player>]]!\ |
| 304 | You gotta new room in your house!\ |
| 305 | I sent you a congraplications\ |
| 306 | present. I hope ya wanna decorate\ |
| 307 | your new room with it!\ |
| 308 | Crangoliptions! -<Lazy> |
| 309 | ** If you go to a Lazy villager's birthday party and give them a present, they'll send a thank-you letter the next day, but it seems like they had some trouble writing it. |
| 310 | ---> To my friend [[HelloInsertNameHere <Player>]],\ |
| 311 | Thanks for coming to my birthday\ |
| 312 | party. Your present was neat! I got\ |
| 313 | you a gift too. I licked my present.\ |
| 314 | I meant liked, not licked. How do I\ |
| 315 | errse words? OH NO [=SOmtheign=] is\ |
| 316 | wrongIneedanadult<Lazy> |
| 317 | ** On your birthday, if a Lazy villager happens to be one of the lucky two villagers on your island to write you a birthday letter that displays during K.K. Birthday, they proceed to use up the available lines. |
| 318 | ---> Super Birthdayer [[HelloInsertNameHere <Player>]],\ |
| 319 | Hearing “Happy birthday!” a bunch\ |
| 320 | on your birthday is good luck.\ |
| 321 | Happybirthdayhappybirthdayhappy\ |

| 324 | ybirthdayhappybirthdayhappybirthd\ |
| 325 | ayhappybirthday! -<Lazy> |
| 326 | * When changing your clothes using a wardrobe, your avatar will make modeling poses and expressions with every article you click on. Some of the pose/expression combinations are hysterical to say the least. |
| 327 | * Sometimes when walking in on a jock villager crafting in their house, they'll explain where they came up with the idea: |
| 328 | -->'''Jock:''' I was out jogging last night, and by the 53rd mile, it just... hit me. ...Or it could've been dehydration. Anyway, check it out! And stay hydrated! |
| 329 | * In previous games, if you walked into a villager's house and then walked out again without speaking to them, they wouldn't react. Here, they turn to the door and react in confusion as you're leaving. After all, if someone waltzed straight into your house and then left without so much as a word, wouldn't you be confused too? |
| 330 | * Since the building placement is up to you, it's possible to cram your buildings like sardines, making for some [[https://twitter.com/AllochiiBoo/status/1244336930797449216 hilariously awkward ceremonies]] to celebrate the grand opening of one. [[DevelopersForesight Tom Nook even has a special line acknowledging the cramped space!]] |
| 331 | * If you eat some fruits and then sit on a toilet, the fruit counter goes down until you get a notification saying "And that takes care of that!", in other words, [[ToiletHumor you can now]] ''[[ToiletHumor poop]]'' in Animal Crossing! |
| 332 | * A Peppy and Lazy villager might randomly ask the player if they'd rather lick a fish or bite a worm. Naturally, your only two choices are a FlatWhat or [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere "I'm leaving now."]] It turns out they were playing a game of "Would You Rather?". Then the Lazy villager gets distracted because the thought of licking fish makes him hungry. |
| 333 | * Harv's Island is basically a sandbox of scenes that would be otherwise impossible to set up under normal circumstances. Thus, players have the power to make some hysterical scenes such as the [[https://twitter.com/Nichtschwert/status/1248583018878386176 "Woman Yelling at Cat" meme]] but with your neighbors. Taken further with the Wedding Season event, where Cyrus and Reese want you to take anniversary photos of them - and some of the scenes players have set up are most certainly ''not'' anniversary photos. Some of them dip into (funny) VideoGameCrueltyPotential, for example, it's become popular among players to take photos of themselves marrying Reese while Cyrus cries in the background, or vice versa. |
| 334 | * During Bunny Day, your sisterly villager may talk about playing a game with Zipper in which she sneaks up behind him and grabs his zipper, despite his claims that it's not a costume. [[ItAmusedMe It's fun for her]]. |
| 335 | ** [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential You can actually do that yourself]]--if you sneak up behind Zipper and then "talk" to him while behind him, [[WhatTheHellPlayer he'll be increasingly annoyed at you each time]]. |
| 336 | * Villagers have different reactions when they see you getting chased down by wasps or a tarantula/scorpion. Some of them understandably freaked out. The Sisterly villager though, just has CasualDangerDialogue. |
| 337 | -->'''<Sisterly>:''' By all means, let me distract you while that awesome tarantula gets close enough to bite. |
| 338 | * Fleas make a comeback, and this time, each villager has a unique reaction when talked to while they have fleas on them, which could potentially lead to these lines in sequence if a Peppy villager happens to get the flea if the player first talks to the Peppy villager with the fleas: |
| 339 | -->'''<Peppy>:''' Ughhh! Itchyyyy! I'm ITCHYYY! And I'm going to YELL ABOUT IT! SO ITCHY!\ |
| 340 | ''The player smacks the Peppy villager with the net in order to catch the flea.''\ |
| 341 | '''<Peppy>:''' Are you EVEN serious right now? I had fleas?! GRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOODYYY! If you hadn't taken them off me, my pop-star career'd be ruined before I even started practicing for it! You totally saved the day-AND my celebrity status-<player name>! Thank you SO MUCH! |
| 342 | * A potential conversation between a Jock villager and a Snooty villager involves the [[CompetitionFreak Jock]] challenging his neighbor to a "tongue-twister battle", only to [[EpicFail immediately blow it]]. He contemplates incorporating "tongue curls" into his work-out routine, while the Snooty villager remarks in an aside to you that he should try exercising his brain instead. |
| 343 | * On your birthday, if a Jock villager is closest to you, he tells you when it's piñata time that he wanted to include fireworks in it. The others stopped him, because "it's a fire hazard", and begged him to "not make it like [[NoodleIncident last time]]". |
| 344 | * The art gallery gets some amusing reactions from your villagers. |
| 345 | ** A Cranky villager examining the Gallant Statue (Michelangelo's ''David'') remarks "The poor guy's gotta stand there without any shorts for all eternity. [[LampshadeHanging Wait,]] [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal where are MY shorts?!]]" Hell, the fact that the game openly acknowledges the fact that it contains ''uncensored male nudity'' of all things is [[NakedPeopleAreFunny weirdly]] [[BetterThanABareBulb amusing]] in and of itself. |
| 346 | ** A Lazy villager may look at the famous painting (the ''Mona Lisa'') and say "Ooh, I know this one. It's a painting of my mom! A huh huh huh...just kidding. [[BaitAndSwitch It's a photo of her.]]" |
| 347 | ** A Sisterly villager admiring the calm painting ('Art/ASundayAfternoonOnTheIslandOfLaGrandeJatte'' will say, "I got too close, and now all I can see are a whole bunch of dots no matter how far I back up, <catchphrase>." |
| 348 | ** A Lazy villager admiring the worthy {{painting|s}} (''Art/LibertyLeadingThePeople'') seems to assume [[InnocentInaccurate it depicts a really intense game of capture-the-flag]]. |
| 349 | * One of the DIY recipes is "scattered papers", a spread-out mess of crumpled, uneven paper. Making it requires one document stack, meaning that the player just messes up a neat stack of papers and counts it as a new item. However, there's also a DIY recipe for the document stack, which requires... one set of scattered papers (thankully this doesn't lead to a Catch22Dilemma, since the items can be obtained elsewhere). If you have both recipes, you can increase your total amount of DIY recipes made by repeatedly organizing and ruining the same pile of paper. |
| 350 | * If the player talks to Sable on a Monday, she will occasionally make a crack about "back to the fabric mines." |
| 351 | * If you talk to Sable on Thursday, she can talk about how her favorite porcupine cop show, ''[[JustForFun Pointed Questions]]'', is on that night. |
| 352 | -->'''Sable:''' I hope the DA will lay off this week. He's always [[StealthPun badgering]] the witnesses. |
| 353 | * While in the fossils wing of the museum, a Cranky villager might express amusement at the exhibit on prehistoric fish, observing of the Acanthostega "So you're tellin' me this fella came all the way up from the water just to become a rock?" |
| 354 | * Visit the museum at night and you'll notice that the stag/rhinoceros beetles are gathered at the large tree, two of them locked in combat while the others seem to watch. ''The bugs have a secret fight club''. |
| 355 | * This bit of LampshadeHanging of the fact that you can catch a frog but frog villagers exist. |
| 356 | -->''(as the player is holding up the fished-up frog)'' I caught a frog! [[FurryConfusion Or it's a new neighbor... and I have some apologizing to do]]. |
| 357 | * Talk to a Smug neighbor while he's fishing, and he might say "You know what they say about fishing, right? [[BaitAndSwitchComment Well, please tell me! Because I can't catch anything!]]" |
| 358 | * Jock villagers seem to enjoy antagonizing Snooty ones, as they enjoy telling them they missed sales to trigger their anger deliberately or, apparently, mocking the fact that they even chase bargains, which will lead to the Snooty villager furiously ranting at you. |
| 359 | * In a villager-specific instance, some of the possible dialogue for Sisterly villagers does not mesh very well with [[https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Sylvia Sylvia]], a kangaroo. Female kangaroo villagers always have a joey in their pouch. Despite this, she'll occasionally talk as if she thinks there's no way anyone would ever expect her to like children. In a letter she might write on the topic, she even asks the player to keep the fact that she does a secret. This behavior makes her seem... [[ParentalObliviousness not very observant]]. |
| 360 | --> '''Sylvia:''' I love kids! I know I don't look like it, but I was an awesome babysitter back in the day.\ |
| 361 | '''Sylvia's kid:''' ''(giving a DeathGlare)''[[note]]When kangaroo characters emote, their joey mimics their eyes but nothing else. The "pride" reaction, which is being used during this line, uses the villager's "angry" eyes.[[/note]] |
| 362 | * The Museum Stamp Rally held from May 19 to May 31 has you exploring the exhibits to get stamps, all stationed in specific sections. Interacting with each pedestal plays the player's inner thoughts before stamping their card, usually admiring the scenery. The aquarium's "The Coast" section, however, only makes them hungry. |
| 363 | -->'''<Player>''': [[BlackComedy Must...not...let...fish...know...I'm...craving...sushi...]] |
| 364 | ** Additionally, one of the stamp pedestals in the fossil section could be at the "extinction spot"--the blue spot on the floor where, if you stand on it, you get a glimpse of the incoming meteoroid. |
| 365 | --->'''<Player>''': What's that big orb near the ceiling? [[TooDumbToLive I'm sure it's fine...]] |
| 366 | ** The 2021 edition of the Stamp Rally adds not only the art gallery, but also one or two new spots for the original wings' stamp stations to appear. For example, it's now possible for a stamp station to appear near the "jellyfish floor" in the "shallow seas" section of the aquarium. The player's thoughts about this? |
| 367 | --->'''<Player>''': Float, float, wave, wave, bloop, bloop. |
| 368 | * After his spirit breaks apart, if you hit Wisp with the net, he'll think you've mistaken him with one of his spirit pieces[[note]]Which a player might ''actually'' have done, because if his face is turned away from the camera, he does resemble a larger version of the spirit pieces you're searching for[[/note]]. |
| 369 | -->'''Wisp''': Hey! You know that I'm not a spirit piece... right, <player>?\ |
| 370 | '''Wisp''': Ummmm... This is just me. Please don’t confuse me for a piece of my spirit, OK? |
| 371 | * Talking to Wisp and then repeatedly refusing to return his spirit pieces will have him grow increasingly desperate until he starts telling you to return his pieces "or else", with his eyes growing unusually hollow and wide as he smiles eerily. |
| 372 | * Usually you need to approach Wisp and talk to him in order to trigger the quest of looking for his spirit pieces, as this causes him to get scared and his spirit to break apart [[{{Irony}} because he thinks you are a ghost]]. Turns out that doing the "Haunt" emotion, which is taught by Jack to the player in Halloween, while being in Wisp's field of view ''[[DevelopersForesight scares him too!]]''. |
| 373 | * The various reactions that the player can be taught by villagers have different approaches: |
| 374 | ** When a Snooty villager teaches the player the Intense reaction, she starts it off with her saying that she and the player need to have a talk before doing the Intense reaction while accusing the player of eating her sweet food...before afterwards saying that she was joking. Also, what makes this unique is that if the player doesn’t press the B button to accelerate the dialogue, the words “steely gaze” appear all at once, as well as describing it as staring into one’s soul. |
| 375 | ** The Lazy villager teaching the Mistaken reaction has him at one point asking on where the falling star comes from. |
| 376 | ** The Peppy villager teaching the Aggravation reaction starts with her enraged by the fact that she stained her favorite outfit, and then demonstrates what she does when things are the worst, before finally calming down. |
| 377 | --->'''Peppy''': Some folks call it pouting, but I say it’s me telling the world to QUIT BEING MEAN! Anyhoo, using Aggravation can def you feel better. See? I’m all good now, <catchphrase>! |
| 378 | * Sometimes when you go into the Resident Services building, you'll find Tom Nook and Isabelle doing off-duty things. If you sit down in front of one of the seats Tom or Isabelle will stop what they're doing and come talk to you. The things you'll find them doing include the following: |
| 379 | ** You might occasionally find them on their respective ends of the offices doing exercises in sync with each other! |
| 380 | ** Isabelle might be found sleeping at the desk. |
| 381 | ** When sitting at the Construction Consultation desk, sometimes Tom Nook is holding a cup of coffee and he appears to stash it in his pocket when he stops to talk to you. |
| 382 | * Amiibo-summoned villagers can force out existing residents if the town is full, but to [[AvertedTrope prevent]] a WhatTheHellPlayer situation, they always say the villager you're replacing told them they were just about to move out anyway. One of the reasons for this that Lazy villagers can give is that the villager they're replacing was considering moving "[[NoodleIncident because of all the night clowns]]". Bonus points if the villager being replaced happens to be [[https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Pietro Pietro]], a NonIronicClown. |
| 383 | * Unlike previous games, it’s possible for the player to add up to 10 additional players/profiles to their island. While some use it for the intended purpose of having their siblings, partners and other family members share their island with them, others will sometimes create a second player/house for the explicit purpose of having extra storage space when they run out in their main house. This can become rather funny as villagers will comment on the second profile and ask whichever player is control if they know what the other player likes or dreams of. The player has the option to confirm or deny that they know, with confirming that fact resulting in the villager saying that the two players are on the same wavelength. Of course they are. They're the same person. |
| 384 | * There's something strangely amusing (and somewhat disturbing, depending on your perspective) about being able to [[https://twitter.com/PetrarchEleven/status/1284980811792478208 craft a giant teddy bear]] using one Papa bear, one Mama bear, and one Baby bear, essentially combining an entire bear family into a single entity. |
| 385 | * A possible conversation between a Cranky and Sisterly villager has VitriolicBestFriends at its finest, with FloweryInsults that can get a laugh. Apparently, when off-island, the two were just talking when a nearby kid suddenly broke into tears. They're arguing over who upset the kid and ask you for your opinion. You can choose either villager, [[TakeAThirdOption or a third option]] that says, [[LampshadeHanging "You two... hang out?"]] |
| 386 | ** <Sisterly> calling <Cranky> a "dilapidated sourpuss". |
| 387 | ** If you choose the third option, they wonder if it was their VolleyingInsults that upset the kid, even though it was all good-natured. <Cranky> will then affectionately call <Sisterly> "as welcome as a mortgage and twice as exhausting". |
| 388 | * ''Summer Update Wave Two'' update returned dreaming into the game. While the process itself is fairly standard (getting into the bed and being transferred to a dream realm), the pose and face expression player wakes up with are [[https://sun9-50.userapi.com/c855432/v855432257/2484fd/zkcWea4VNcI.jpg nothing short of hilarious]]. |
| 389 | * When you discuss island evaluations, one of the pieces of feedback you can get is that the island has "a low reset rate", with the implication that it's [[DemotedToExtra Mr. Resetti]] who submitted it. Of course islands in this game have low reset rates, thanks to AutoSave! |
| 390 | * If you talk to a Lazy villager in their home, they might greet you with "Hang out as long as you want. [[{{Malaproper}} My salsa is your salsa!]]" Though considering their love of food, they could very well have meant what they said. |
| 391 | * Sometimes, in the Museum, villagers admiring Jellyfish will say "Ooh! I'm Jelly of that fish!" |
| 392 | * While visiting [=NPCs=] will generally prioritize hanging around areas that're populated and that they can reach (such as areas that are accessible via bridge or stairs), this doesn't stop them from wandering around weird areas. Players have reported seeing Saharah or Daisy Mae in areas that can only be accessed via ladder or trapped on islands and having to terraform to talk to them. |
| 393 | * The Halloween event has villagers walk up to you to ask for candy or else you'll be tricked. If you refuse, the trick is that they change your body paint color, eye color, and face paint (the latter becomes something generically Halloween-themed). The cherry on top how they trick you: physically attacking you with purple sludge in what can be described as RapidFireFisticuffs, something you would not expect in an otherwise non-violent game. |
| 394 | * Most of the "custom catchphrase spread" conversations involve a villager taking a liking to or inadvertently picking up the second villager's custom catchphrase, followed by the latter letting them use it. However, in the conversation where a snooty villager picks up a lazy villager's custom catchphrase... |
| 395 | -->'''Snooty''': <Lazy>... what is happening? Why can't I stop saying <custom catchphrase>?\ |
| 396 | (several lines later)\ |
| 397 | '''Snooty''': But why is it happening to ME?! <custom catchphrase>! HELP! <custom catchphrase>! <custom catchphrase>! CALL SOMEONE! |
| 398 | * For the Festive Season, starting in December, Isabelle decorates some of the cedar tress with ornaments to celebrate the occasion and liven up the island and announces that DIY recipes of the Festive Series will now be available. The thing is that you have to shake the decorated tress to get Ornaments for the recipes which, ironically, means that you're stealing from Isabelle. |
| 399 | * For those who missed when villagers used to be mean, the Snowboy’s that begin popping up in mid-December bring back all the sass. They become very passive-aggressive when the player doesn’t get their proportions right, which is hilarious. And if you get the proportions ''completely'' wrong, you get this comedy gold: |
| 400 | -->'''Snowboy''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis What. Is. Going. On.]] |
| 401 | * Giving villagers trash as gifts can have some pretty funny reactions. |
| 402 | -->'''Peppy villager''': Is this trash? Or garbage? WAIT! I know! [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs It's trashgarbage]]!\ |
| 403 | '''Lazy villager''': This is trash! I don't want trash... I make my own trash!\ |
| 404 | '''Sisterly villager''': You do know this is trash, right? And not, like, "another's treasure" trash, either. It's trash-trash. |
| 405 | * You can customize a frying pan to look like it has food in it. One of the options is "failed attempt", which is just a burned black mess in the bottom of the pan. |
| 406 | * One conversation involving Peppy villagers and Normal villagers involves the Peppy villager trying to do some small talk, before the Normal villager comes up with her own. One of the possible topics she can bring up is cockroaches, which freaks the Peppy villager out. The Normal villager goes as far as to give the cockroach a description in her own words (as cockroaches, like the other games after ''Wild World'', cannot be caught and donated to the museum), all the while the Peppy villager is still freaking out. |
| 407 | -->'''Normal villager''': Nobody likes cockroaches. They’re the absolute worst! But I gave it some thought... Cockroaches have prospered on this earth since a long time ago, even before dinosaurs! That means they are seasoned veterans when it comes to, well, living! Should we really be treating them with such scorn? Surely they deserve our respect! But at the end of the day, I can’t help but dislike what I dislike... |
| 408 | * A Sisterly villager might claim that some wild rumors are spreading about her back home, like saying she left home to fight sea monsters. |
| 409 | -->'''Sisterly Villager:''' First, I haven't seen a single sea monster here. Second, what do they expect me to do? Hurl insults at it? It's almost as weird as that rumor where I moved to the moon to focus on eating potato chips. Like... huh?! (''thinking'') I mean, is eating potato chips on the moon even... possible? |
| 410 | * The Roost allows you to invite villagers to drink there via amiibo cards. There are however, two exceptions. Brewster, since he obviously works there, and Gulliver, mostly because his phone keeps breaking. |
| 411 | * If a villager visits the player's house while it's infested with cockroaches, they will [[SorryToInterrupt immediately leave]]. Given how many players had stopped playing until the 2.0 Update brought them back, there are a ''lot'' of players who have entered their home for the first time in months just to get a visit before they can clean. |
| 412 | ** Most of the villagers leave because, well, they're grossed out by the cockroaches. But [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} lazy villagers]] (who frequently talk about how much they like bugs) think that you are having a "cockroach party" and they didn't bring snacks or get dressed. They leave because they "don't feel ready to hang with the cool cockroaches". |
| 413 | * Harv's Island commune has Lloid to collect donations...well, actually, it has multiple Lloids (don't ask), and they all have hippie hats and mustaches to suit the area. |
| 414 | * After the first shop is set up on Harv's Island, Harv installs an ABD machine in case you, in his words, "[[BuffySpeak need to do a capitalism]]." |
| 415 | * Harriet's makeover service returns in 2.0, this time to randomly unlock new hairstyles for the player to use. While she had a fancy automatic makeup chair/helmet last time, here, she's more hands-on, and ''even more vigorous''. Her makeovers looks downright ''violent'' due to their speed and the dust cloud they generate. |
| 416 | * Saharah has to adjust her spiel ("I bring rugs from afar to your home, which is near") when set up on Harv's Island, since your home is no longer near. |
| 417 | -->'''Saharah:''' I bring rugs from afar to your home, which is...also far. |
| 418 | * One of the new gyroids is the Thwopoid, a gyroid designed to look like the famous blobfish, with the same frown and nose and a pink color variation to match. |
| 419 | * A peppy villager giving you a cooking recipe can say it's from a "so-called influencer [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial [she's] not jealous of]]." |
| 420 | * If you dare let Brewster's coffee cool off, instead of looking at you with shock, he just stares at you. Silently. He does eventually relent and let you have a cooler cup next time, but letting ''that'' one cool down, and he'll eventually comment that it'll turn into iced coffee if it gets any colder. It comes off as hilariously passive-aggressive coming from him. |
| 421 | * While talking to a Villager after a Wasp sting can be helpful since they have a chance at giving you free Medicine, the resulting conversations can lead to hilarity: |
| 422 | -->'''Smug Villager:''' Yikes, what happened to your face? Sorry, that was insensitive. Your face, um, seems perfectly fine. But maybe it will be even MORE fine if you use this medicine. You can hardly notice it. Not that there's anything TO notice. Anyway, I'm sure you've faced bigger challenges before. Why do I keep saying face?! -gives player the medicine- Phew, managed to save face. Still got it, <Smug Villager>! |
| 423 | -->'''Peppy Villager:''' FLASKLURB?! <player name>?! I was so surprised by your face, I made up a word! |
| 424 | * A "bad luck" fortune from Katrina portending a negative effect on friendship is portended by this hilarious scenario referencing Gulliver: |
| 425 | -->'''Katrina:''' Oh...Oh, I see something...Yes...I see a lost seagull sailor in need of help...His shipmates, who usually just read and ignore his messages...they have finally blocked him... |
| 426 | * Another hilarious "bad luck" portent from Katrina, this one predicting a negative effect on money, involves a vision of an island getaway package that went OffTheRails: |
| 427 | -->'''Katrina:''' I see an island...whose residents prefer living in tents to owning their own homes... The president of Nook Inc. is...more than a little bewildered by this turn of events... |
| 428 | * If you put a large fossil part indoors like the head of a dinosaur, using the Camera Pro's first person mode reveals that it broke a hole in the ceiling to make room for it. |
| 429 | * If you haven't played in a long time and talk to a Lazy villager, one thing he can say upon being greeted is that "something amazing" happened while you were gone... That being, he bet another villager that [[BigEater he]] could eat his weight in food. It turns out that the other villager was right, and the Lazy villager only got "12 pounds in" before he "reverse-snacked all over the place." |
| 430 | * One conversation between a Normal and Jock villager has the former ask the latter for advice on what food to make. This eventually shifts into both of them asking the player for their input, which gives them the option to tell the Normal villager that they can make anything... but not protein shakes. The Jock villager doesn't take this well, with the Normal villager agreeing with the player by pointing out how bland protein powder tastes. |
| 431 | -->'''Jock:''' Soooooo... if you didn't wanna make a protein shake, why am I here? |
| 432 | * Allegedly, Pascal once had a nightmare that [[FoodEatsYou a scallop was eating him]]. After waking up and thinking about it, he mused, "[[{{Touche}} fair play]]". |
| 433 | * If the player is being chased by wasps they can call for a rescue. The wasps will just swarm angrily during the call, unable to do anything while the rescue team gets the player to safety. |
| 434 | * While most curse words are blocked by the game's filter, the player can get away with catchphrases like "[[https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/1bvnmz7/loads_gun/ *loads gun*]]" and "[[https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/hesbzw/i_knew_chadder_would_love_his_new_catchphrase/ *hits blunt*]]". |
| 435 | [[/folder]] |
| 436 | |
| 437 | [[folder:''New Horizons: Happy Home Paradise'']] |
| 438 | * Having a smug villager room with someone else (with the other villager owning the home) may result in them bringing up how their roommate has trouble sleeping at times. They muse about how they don't think it was the music they were blasting in their room, but they'll start wearing headphones just to be safe. The genre of music is different between mentions, spanning through rock, jazz, bossa nova, cabaret and even opera. The amount of hilarious mental images this can bring up depending on the genre is through the roof. Even funnier if the villager they're annoying with it [[TheComicallySerious is a Cranky type]]. |
| 439 | ** For example, they may bring up blasting surf rock, which could cause you to imagine them listening to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hLIXrlpRe8 Misirlou]] at full volume. |
| 440 | ** Or Technopop, which might make you think of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914 Take On Me]] by ''Music/{{aha}}''. |
| 441 | ** With the aforementioned cabaret, it's much more amusing to think that the villager is listening to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqdFC2f4cPc&list=PL0F64100751860D25 the soundtrack]] of the musical, ''Theatre/{{Cabaret}}''. |
| 442 | * Putting certain personalities as workers in facilities is hysterical. |
| 443 | ** For example, the teacher: |
| 444 | --->'''Smug:''' If you don't learn anything else from me, learn confidence. Fake it until you make it, <catchphrase>! ...I don't have a teaching certificate of ANY kind!\ |
| 445 | '''Lazy:''' If you ever have trouble with a question, don't be afraid to ask me for help! Being confused together is much better than alone! |
| 446 | ** A sleepy snooty villager sitting in class may sleep-mumble about their confidence that the teacher is secretly a vampire. |
| 447 | ** A jock villager may pray under their breath that the teacher doesn't call on them. This may not be all that funny on its own, but you can add extra context by putting a laptop on their desk and [[https://preview.redd.it/1fu3oq5q5sx71.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=e1e38a1a3887a4da8ea94ebae0b3df1f328b0886 customising it so they look like they're browsing cat videos in class]], making their fear of getting called on much more understandable. |
| 448 | *** And in the restaurant: |
| 449 | ** A Jock villager in the private room will mention how the staff rarely visit the top room due to its exclusivity, meaning he has to get creative with ordering. [[SuddenlyShouting He then proceeds to shout "BREADSTICKS, PLEASE!" at the top of his lungs]]. |
| 450 | *** Perhaps the reason the staff don't go in there very often is because of what happens when they let Lazy villagers in. |
| 451 | ---->'''Lazy:''' The only customers in this room are me and <roommate>. A few folks tried to come in, but we ran 'em off. So far we've even kept most of the staff out! |
| 452 | ** In the same situation, a Jock may also get into how, since he and his roomie are the only ones in the room, they can do whatever they want, so long as it's sophisticated, resulting in this: |
| 453 | -->'''Jock:''' [[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe Wouldest thou care to joinest me in blowing yon bubbles into von glasses of]] [[InherentlyFunnyWords sparkling wawa]]? Esquire? |
| 454 | ** Another great line from a jock there: |
| 455 | -->'''Jock:''' After intense workouts, I treat myself to balanced meals right here at good old [Restaurant]. [[{{Pun}} I've never seen them serve beefcakes here, but they're about to serve one right now!]] Waiter, I'm ready to order! |
| 456 | * When building the hospital, it's evident that the game foresaw MedicalHorror takes on the idea, and ''endorsed'' it- within the order tab of recommended items are the mad-science Lab furniture pieces and industrial gear devices, and ripped doctor's coats appear as clothing the staff can wear. Not only can you choose to make your hospital look unethical and sketchy, but the game is fully on board with it. If the hospital is staffed by a lazy doctor, it's even more worrying, since he'll assure patients that he's "basically a doctor" and displays an unfortunate lack of attention and professionalism when coming up with treatments. Additionally, the receptionist may be found asleep on the job sometimes, compounding the bad vibes of the hospital if you've chosen to invoke them. |
| 457 | -->'''Lazy doctor''': Medicine time! I've got two kinds: "active" and "placebo". [[PlaceboEffect I like the placebo kind cause it tastes sweeter!]] |
| 458 | ** If you talk to a Jock villager while they are sleeping in the patient ward, they may say this, which gets even better [[PintSizedPowerhouse if the villager is a small animal like a hamster or a mouse]]: |
| 459 | --->'''Jock patient:''' Zzz... Folks, please... I'll lift you all over my head eventually, no need to cut in line... Zzz... |
| 460 | * Some villagers will have bizarre wishes for their vacation homes, such as wanting as many toilets as possible in case of a guest having a PottyEmergency or a villager wanting a house filled with nothing but trash. You can fill their requests literally by lining the house wall to wall with toilets and the outside with portapotties, and they'll say ''it's exactly what they asked for''. |
| 461 | * It's entirely possible to pervert the theme of someone's home by providing the bare minimum and then running completely counter to it with the rest of your design. An aspiring Hollywood star who wants a fancy house can be portrayed as delusional, living in squalor and filth as long as the three requested nice pieces are there, for instance. Furthermore, having carte blanche to outright choose a concept for a house by doing anything can lead to any number of awful ideas and allows you to portray the residents as fanatics, obsessives, or oddballs with very strange tastes. |
| 462 | * The Dreamy items with plush toys have tame customization options, with cycling colors of stuffed animals until you reach the black color theme. Suddenly all the stuffed animals TookALevelInBadass with dark color schemes, punk attire, broken heart motifs, and the unicorn even sports an ''eyepatch''. |
| 463 | * A normal villager rooming with a peppy villager can discuss how excited she was that her roomie read a book she recommended, even though said recommendation had to be paired with an intense glare from the normal villager to get through to the peppy one. |
| 464 | * A peppy villager rooming with someone while being the owner of the house can discuss how connected she feels to her roommate, citing the typical inconclusive "I'm bored, what do you want to do?" "I don't know, what do you want to do?" conversation as a sign of being on the same wavelength! |
| 465 | -->'''Peppy villager:''' Squeee! It's so hard to find someone you can be bored with but still like! |
| 466 | * Giving a cranky villager a roommate may cause him to comment on how the room always brightens up when the roomie is there. In the next box, he says [[BaitAndSwitchComment it's probably because he makes them clean the light fixtures.]] |
| 467 | * Using the amiibo Scanner to summon Lottie has her initially comment that she's right over there if you want to talk to her. |
| 468 | * One requested house theme is a horror movie set called "House of Horrors", with creepy furniture items. Also in the "Order" tab are some dishes with suspicious liquid tomato ingredients! |
