3	* There's the infamous, {{Narm}}tacular "What is a man?" conversation at the beginning of the original game's English translation. It's rendered even funnier by the fact that Richter's voice actor delivers his lines in a flat, dull monotone, while Dracula's goes completely [[LargeHam whole-ham]]:
4	-->'''Richter:''' [[DullSurprise Die, monster. You don't belong in this world!]]
5	-->'''Dracula:''' It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by... '''[[ChewingTheScenery huuuuuuuumans]]''', who wished to pay '''''me''''' ''tribute!''
6	-->'''Richter:''' Tribute!?! You steal men's souls, and make them your ''slaves!''
7	-->'''Dracula:''' Perhaps the same could be said of all religions...
8	-->'''Richter:''' Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill-needs a savior such as ''you!''
9	-->'''Dracula:''' [[MemeticMutation What is a man?!]] (''throws his wine glass to the floor, which shatters on the ground as he stands up'') [[MemeticMutation A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk...]] '''''[[MemeticMutation HAVE AT YOU!]]'''''
10	* That EvilElevator? God, Alucard and Richter sound like they're absolutely terrified in it!
11	* The "Holy Symbol," an item that lets Alucard go underwater without taking damage? It's simply a snorkel.
12	* The Secret Boots item whose description reads "Discreetly increases height!". If you look very closely you can see that it actually does, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin making Alucard a pixel or two higher]].
13	* Alucard's recollection of Trevor Belmont, which appears as a thought balloon containing Trevor's unmodified 8-bit sprite from ''Castlevania III''.
14	* In the confessional, if Alucard sits in the Priest's chair, a female ghost will walk up to the other seat. The one in blue will spring a trap just like the green priest, but the woman in red will start giving a tearful confession... and doesn't ever ''stop''. Eventually, Alucard will fall asleep. For extra hilarity, notice how Alucard sits in a polite way if he's confessing but goes back to slouching with his arms and legs crossed when he's on the Priest's chair, as if he's not even serious about it to begin with.
15	* Summon Alucard's Bat familiar and have him turn into a bat himself. The familiar ''falls in love with him'', little [[HeartSymbol hearts]] coming from it, with more bats joining in the higher the familiar's level. It's as [[CutenessProximity adorable]] as it is hilarious, and they also function as [[VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Options]] that shoot fireballs whenever you do. Adding to the fun, switching back into human or mist form causes a little "'''?'''" to appear over the bat.
16	** Relatedly, summon Alucard's Ghost familiar and turn into Bat Form. The poor thing looks around in confusion with a little "'''?'''" above its head. After a second or two it simply flies upwards and eventually disappears, only to come scurrying back when Alucard shifts into any other form.
17	* The Shield Rod effect with the [[JokeItem Alucart Shield]]. Like the key crash in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood'', it starts with an impressive attack animation... and ends with Alucard looking confused.
18	* Richter's Hydro Storm in his respective mode is [[GameBreaker so hilariously broken]] that it turns boss battles [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHCkF7uFrbw into five-second comedies.]] Who needs the Vampire Killer when holy precipitation will do?
19	* There are peanuts as healing items in the game, but their description states they're difficult to eat. Why? Well, this game has an EarlyInstallmentWeirdness aspect in that Alucard must equip healing items on his hands to use them outside of the menu, often throwing them on the ground so he can consume them. The peanuts are unique in that Alucard decides to be a show off about it and throws them over his head so the player has to manually move him under the peanut and hold up to make Alucard catch the snack on his mouth. The dhampir even [[MundaneMadeAwesome strikes a triumphant pose]] when the player gets it right.
20	* In terms of the Master Librarian, once the player gains access to both the Gravity Boots (for the High Jump ability) and the room underneath the Librarian's seat, it's possible just for some small rewards (as in, ''very rare'' items that can only gotten this way after visiting the Inverted Castle), to push up his seat right from underneath while he holds his arms up into the air out of panic. This is as rewarding as it is hilarious to see him like this, and this is also possible with both Richter and Maria. Just as funny; the librarian goes on about his business as usual after you stop and return to his desk upfront normally.
21	* The PSP remake gives us the line "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Belmont, son of Belmont]]!" in the intro.
22	* When you equip the full Alucar'''t''' set (counterfeit Alucard armor), the stats screen indicates your status as "Alucart". For some reason, it confers a Luck boost. In other words, fake copies of your personal treasures help you find more [[RandomlyDrops treasure]]. This makes it the [[LethalJokeItem perfect equipment]] for farming the [[GameBreaker Crissaegrim and Runesword]].
23	* Getting too close to a Skelerang enemy so that they can't toss out their boomerangs prompts them to turn away from Alucard, put their skull between their bony knees, and [[ThisIsGonnaSuck start trembling as they wait for the inevitable]].
24	* The Succubus boss fight starts with her desecrating Lisa's memory by distorting her last wishes. She also carefully calls Lisa a GoldDigger before the fight: all the items found in the jars around the area are [[MealTicket Meal Tickets!]].
25	** When you see through her deception in the ''Requiem'' version, you get a trophy titled [[Film/TheRoom2003 "You Are Tearing Me Apart, Lisa!"]]
26	---> '''Succubus:''' Wait, I beg of you! [[TheImmodestOrgasm Aaaaaaaaaah~!]]
27	* If you put the original [=PS1=] disc of ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' into a CD player, Alucard will explain that the disc contains computer data and shouldn't be played in a CD player. Which is followed by "...[[ShmuckBait but you probably won't listen to me anyway, will you]]?" The disc then proceeds to [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment play a funky music track]].
28	* While the updated localization lacks much of the {{Narm}} of the original, it's not completely without its moments. During Alucard's initial encounter with Death, the Grim Reaper warns Alucard not to interfere with their plans. Alucard's response? "[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Step aside, old man.]]"
29	* One of the best attacking consumable items in the game is "Power of Sire", and while the graphic is a painting of The Impaler, the mental image of Alucard killing everybody in the castle via second-hand embarrassment as he shows them gaudy vacation photos like a Boomer is hilarious.
