3	Funny moments in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''.
4	----
5	* The Dancers in almost every town, ranging from Baron to Fabul to the Dwarf Kingdom. Cecil's horrified reaction to the dancer in Fabul turning into a bald monk is classic.
6	** There's also the EasterEgg regarding what's obviously an ''adult magazine'' found in the Dwarves' Castle. "Using" it prompts Cecil's overworld sprite to look in the four directions (akin to someone trying to hide something) before saying: "That's what I call a piece of literature!" In the DS version, picking up said magazine even comes with SPECIAL FANFARE.
7	* Palom and Porom's antics. Special mention goes to Palom criticizing Baigan's attempts to win Cecil's trust. From the [=J2E=] [[GagDub gag translation]]:
8	-->'''Palom:''' I think Creator/WilliamShatner is more convincing than you.
9	* Waking Yang up from his coma is a great laugh in itself. After telling Yang's wife that her husband is alive but in a coma, she gives Cecil a ''frying pan'' to wake him up with.
10	-->'''Cecil:''' My friend, [[ApologeticAttacker I ask for your forgiveness...]]\
11	''CLANK''\
12	'''Yang:''' ''yawn'' Is it time for training? [[FiveMoreMinutes Allow me to sleep a little more...]]
13	** Before that, we have Cecil's baffled thoughts during the Sylph Cave when returning with the Frying Pan to wake Yang up.
14	---> '''Cecil:''' Of course! With this we can... cook something?
15	* Who could forget theis immortal {{Woolseyism}} from Tellah?
16	--> '''Tellah:''' You [[PerfectlyCromulentWord spoony]] bard!
17	* Dr. Lugae's boss battle.
18	--> '''Dr. Lugae''': WhatDoesThisButtonDo\
19	''[[SelfDestructMechanism Self Destruct]]''
20	** Try ''not'' laughing when Dr. Lugae orders Barnabas to attack... and Barnabas [[NumberTwoForBrains attacks Dr. Lugae]]. It's made even funnier in the 3D versions, where you see Barnabas swing towards your party.... yet he hits someone who is clearly standing ''right next'' to him.
21	* From the pub in Troia comes this:
22	--> [to Cecil] "[[Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire Stellaaa!]] You're so beautiful! ...What!? ... [[DudeLooksLikeALady You're a man...!?]]"
23	* Cid has some real gems in the [=J2E=] [[GagDub gag translation]].
24	-->"I'm gonna [[Film/PulpFiction get medieval on your ass!]]"
25	** When he is arguing with Edge, and Rydia tells Edge to shut up.
26	--->'''Cid:''' Has he [[HaveAGayOldTime been up your butt]], Rydia?\
27	'''Rydia:''' No, but he's been scratching his.\
28	'''Edge:''' Shut up!
29	* After the party defeats Zeromus:
30	-->'''Rydia:''' It's hard to believe Zemus didn't use ''you'' instead!\
31	'''Edge:''' Don't worry, [[MetaphorIsMyMiddleName goodness is my middle name]].
32	** The [=J2E=] version is funnier:
33	--->'''Rydia:''' "Bastion of Virtue?" What the hell are you talking about? It's a miracle you weren't the one who was possessed by Zemus!
34	** Edge's thoughts after Rydia learns to summon Bahamut:
35	--->'''Edge:''' Oh, man...Now I really better not make Rydia mad!
36	** After Cecil tells Rosa and Rydia to [[StayInTheKitchen stay home]], Edge makes a pretty condescending remark to Rydia. In the [=J2E=] [[GagDub gag translation]], she pretty much says she'd castrate anyone who spoke that way to her!
37	* In the DS version, teaching Kain "Cry". Teaching any of them, actually. Edge, Cecil, (or with cheat codes) Dark Knight Cecil, Yang, Tellah, Cid or Edward. It's funny shit.
38	* Cecil ends up alone (again), and the only reachable town is Mysidia, i.e. the town he attacked in the prologue. Needless to say, the townsfolk are still salty about that, and speaking to the various mages will get Cecil poisoned or turned into a frog or a pig.
39	* Kain's thoughts after encountering and defeating the first trap door monster in the DS version:
40	-->'''Kain:''' Please tell me not all of the doors are like that.
41	** [[DemonicSpiders Almost all of them are.]]
42	* After exposing the Fake King plot, Paladin Cecil can join in a dance with Baron's Dancing Girl. And in the DS version, it's absolutely hilarious: Armor-clad, gallant Cecil copies ''all'' of the girl's movements, from the hops to the waves, and even the ''hip thrusts''. It tops even the Dancing Girl Surprise in Fabul.
43	* Golbez in the [=J2E=] [[GagDub gag translation]] is quite the [[LaughablyEvil comedian]].
44	-->[during the first confrontation in Fabul] "Perfect settings for an introduction, don't you think? Well, perfect for me, anyway. You're all sprawled out on the ground and I'm about to take the crystal.\
45	[in King Jiott's Crystal Room] "How could you possibly have known that I love having meteors dropped on my head?"\
46	"Before I unmercifully and painfully slaughter you, wouldn't you love to know why I'm gathering the crystals?"
47	* While the scene which immediately follows is undoubtedly a TearJerker, the short conversation Edge has with his corrupted parents before fighting them is [[{{Narm}} a bit hilarious]]:
48	-->'''Queen Eblan:''' Come, Edge.\
49	'''King Eblan:''' Yes...come with us.\
50	'''Edge:''' With you? Where?\
51	'''Queen Eblan:''' To HELL!! ''Dramatic music plays''
52	* The airship remodeling scene is funnier. During the Falcon's first remodel, Cid sees Edge lazing around before dragging him in and arguing with him. After some hammering work a few times, one of the Dwarf workers suddenly falls over the edge of the bridge but grabs onto it. Cid, surprised, tries helping him, and the others follow as well.
53	** The scene then fades into the infirmary, when Cid tells Cecil that the Falcon can now travel through the lava, and Cecil thanks him. Cid then suddenly becomes unresponsive, prompting Kain to react in shock with, [[SayMyName "Cid?!"]] Cue the short stunning shock music that plays when characters suddenly just die, as if Cid were no longer among the living... then [[CatchingSomeZs Z's appear above his head]], indicating that Cid's just drifted off to sleep. The guy has worked himself to exhaustion, giving us quite a scare for a bit.
54	** During the second remodel of the Falcon, Edge takes a break from working to flirt with Rydia. Cid sees this and gets angry before Edge quickly turns to Rydia and is all like, "Oops, gotta go!" as Cid approaches him and drags him back to the ship. Their arguing with each other turns into a fight in which fisticuffs are used against each other until Cid wins the fight. Then Edge gets up and resigns before getting to the engine. When he stalls a bit, Cid is all like, "Get a move on, you lughead!" After a few bouts of metal hammering, Cid approaches Cecil as if to dance in triumph... until he clutches his chest in exhaustion and falls unconscious to Cecil's shock. Talk about a MoodWhiplash.
55	--->'''Cecil:''' ''[surprised]'' Cid!
56	* The ending of the first installment where everyone gathers at Baron Castle for Cecil and Rosa's coronation.
57	** Edge arrives first to greet Cecil, then tries to flirt with Rydia, causing Cid to drag him away.
58	** Palom runs in and greets Cecil before jumping to sit on the throne behind him. Porom whacks him for it to the shock of everyone present.
59	* The secret gentlemen's club in Troia was a great dancing girl show in the original game. In ''The After Years'', Palom can enter it. Those who played the original will remember the dancing girl show. Just as the show starts, the dancers suddenly turn into old ladies, complete with ScareChord. Throughout the 'dance number', it plays the "Suspicion" music. Serves as NightmareFuel for Palom when the old ladies drag him up on stage, kicking and screaming for Lenora to help him before blacking out.
60	* Edward and Cid are poor fighters. But in the remakes, if you level them up to 70, you are in for a treat. ''Is your file corrupt? Is this a sick practical joke by Square which won't go away?'' You will see Edward's health ''skyrocket'' at this point. Along with his other stats. Yang, on the other hand, will ''suffer'' in terms of HP. Making Apollo's Harp a front-row weapon was a ''really'' bizarre coding choice, as well. Intentional? Maybe...
