4----
5* The game itself. ''You are dating birds''. The "birdified" words only add to the ridiculousness.
6* Seeing that you really do live in a cave... and then you get a text-message. Or the doorbell rings.
7* If you choose to go to the festival with San Oko: His reaction to the fireworks is absolutely priceless.
8** Pretty much anything involving San is hilarious. Case in point, his ending where he [[spoiler: turns out to be the avatar of Lord Pudi and [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascends]] to become [[MindScrew the very concept of pudding]]. (Which may or may not have been a ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' reference.) ]]
9** Imagine San saying this line [[LargeHam just]] [[HotBlooded like]] [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]]. Pure MoodWhiplash for a romantic VisualNovel (albeit one with such an absurd premise):
10-->[[CallingYourAttacks GIGA]]... ''[[ThisIsADrill DRILL]]''... '''''[[FinishingMove BEEEEEAAAAAAK]]!!!'''''
11*** No need to imagine: San is voiced by Creator/NorioWakamoto, who [[https://youtu.be/qrDw-3xBGN0 may or may not actually have done that before.]]
12* Any time [[LargeHam the heroine]] says something reflecting her barbaric BloodKnight culture... and [[AbsentMindedProfessor Kazuaki]] replies as though that's a perfectly normal thing for her to say.
13* At one point in either Sakuya or Oko San's route, the two of them will be having an argument, and you are given 3 choices. Choosing to side with either Sakuya or Oko will result in our hot-blooded heroine throwing the other out the window. Choosing the third option means you side with neither and chastise them for their behavior...''by hurling them'' '''''both''''' ''out the window.'' Double Dove Defenestration!
14* Finding out that Ryouta works in a [[WholesomeCrossdresser crossdresser cafe]] after the culture festival.
15** Or, as he is known at said cafe, Coolene.
16* The extra scene you get as a reward for completing the Bad Boy's Love route. Also doubles as much-needed therapy after everything said route puts you through.
17** Oddly enough, there's even one little gem in [=BBL=] itself that serves as this, where [[spoiler:Sakuya somehow connects Yuuya's computer hacking skills to watching copious amounts of ''porn''...which leads Ryouta to think that maybe ''he'' should watch more of it!]]
18* [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m63tomCPnJ1qh1c9vo1_1280.png This]] wonderful ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' ShoutOut.
19* During ''Holiday Star'', the city where the games are set is finally named as part of a things-everybirdie-knows bit, and Hiyoko states that this is the first time she's heard the city's name mentioned! She guesses it never comes up in everyday conversation.
20* While considering the case of the Christmas Thieves, Hiyoko randomly goes OBJECTION! and HOLD IT! complete with [[Franchise/AceAttorney familiar graphic]], much to Ryouta's dismay.
21--> Hiyoko: "I need to make sure my finger-pointing is sufficiently dramatic for when I need to use it!"
22--> Ryouta: "Please don't go around pointing and shouting at stuff, you'll give me a heart attack."
23* An employee at a high society department store tries to shoo out Hiyoko, since they don't cater to low-class people like humans. She is incensed.
24--> OBJECTION! This is blatant speciesism! I hope you're ready to swallow your words or defend them with steel, cretin! Draw, man, draw before I stick you like a rotisserie chicken!
25** She even questions just what Okosan has that makes him more upper-class than her.
26* One of Ryouta's odd jobs in the winter involves dressing as Santa. With a miniskirt. Hiyoko wants to do it too!
27* There's a segment where the birds [[FourthWallMailSlot answer questions fans sent in]]. One was directed to their human forms - "What underwear do you all wear?" and the responses...
28-->'''Yuuya:''' I'm wearing whatever you want me to be, baby.\
29'''Anghel:''' On this day of the reckoning, my loins are wrapped in the vestments dyed in the blood of the crimson lotus blossom!\
30'''Shuu:''' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I have no time for this nonsense.]]
31* Ryouta tries reading the first out of two letters directed to Okosan. The letter itself has to be seen to be believed, but the closing remarks are the cherry on top.[[note]]For the record, it's a version of an old copypasta, originally featuring Louise from ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero''.[[/note]]
32--> '''Ryouta:''' Aaah... I felt like I was gonna suffocate reading that!
33* The ending of ''Holiday Star''[='=]s second story is so gloriously absurd it ''needs'' to be seen to be believed. To quote one [=YouTube=] commenter:
34-->''This is the only game where the following sentence makes any kind of sense: [[spoiler:a magazine editor who's secretly a mad scientist threatens to blow up a school for pigeons with a giant laser powered by otaku birds to get revenge on the school doctor, but is stopped by the heroic birds and cavewoman who turn into magical girls and save the day with the power of kindness.]] ...I think my brain has died.''
35** And then there's the fact that [[spoiler: the laser starts malfunctioning on its own thanks to the fangirls attached to it getting into a [[ShipToShipCombat ship war.]]]]
36** The April Fools 2014 web episode also centers around [[spoiler:Pretty Coore]]. It's just as absurd, if not more, than the above ending.
37* In ''Holiday Star'', [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Doctor Shuu]] [[spoiler: takes in [[CheerfulChild Miru and Kaku]], who are obsessed with Christmas.]] The next time you go to the infirmary, the place is full of Christmas decorations and [[TheComicallySerious Shuu]] is wearing a Santa Hat. The player's dialogue only adds to the hilarity:
38--> "Doctor Shuu? Did you finally get that lobotomy?"
39* The fact that the in-game character images are of ''actual birds''... though they do show human representations of them - except for San, whose picture is that of ''a dove in a suit''.
40** This also applies in ''Holiday Star''[='=]s Shrine Visits, where you get the option to date with each bird appearing as their human representations... except Okosan, whose portraits still show him as a bird. Even his ICPSS option sounds unsure.
41* From when you meet Shuu at the New Year's festival in ''Holiday Star''. Shuu says he was led to believe there was a corpse to be examined, but had been led astray. Hiyoko wants to spend time anyways. Shuu says yes, but since he never got to examine a corpse...
42--> "Won't you be my rotting corpse, Miss Tosaka?"
43* Some of [[WordOfGod Moa's]] replies on her [[http://moa810.tumblr.com Ask Me Tumblr]] (they're in English so don't worry):
44** ''Anonymous asked: I'm surprised no one has asked this yet but why did you make [[TheNutcracker Sugar Plum Fairies song]] [[DeadlyDoctor Shuu's]] theme?''
45--> '''Moa''': [[BlatantLies Because he's sweet as a sugar plum.]]
46** ''Anonymous asked: Why doesn't Sakuya wear the St.Pigeonation uniform?''
47--> '''Moa''': [[RoyalBrat Sakuya]] is a splendid noble pigeon. Normal uniforms are for normal pigeons. Not for noble.
48** ''Anonymous asked: Did you create Lord Pudi or did Lord Pudi create you?''
49--> '''Moa''': It’s the ultimate question of the universe.
50** ''Anonymous asked: Will we ever see what you look like?''
51--> [[http://media.tumblr.com/aada7ab292f7899fe99fbe246978a967/tumblr_inline_nc6ow0VT3m1r2lduk.png Interesting]]
52* Any time someone ([[{{Pun}} or somebirdie]]) makes a LetsPlay of it. From the shock of the whole dating pigeons thingy to the shock of actually caring about the birds.
53** A special mention is [[http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?67529-Hatoful-Boyfriend-A-dating-game-about-pigeons Angie Gallant]], who was unfortunate enough to do Shuu's route first. She was so freaked out by it that she became ''paranoid'' over the other routes. Nageki's acting suspicious? He's going to kill her. Sakuya just [[NoblewomansLaugh HO HO HO'd]] like a [[TruthInTelevision certain fat bird?]] He's actually the fat bird in disguise.
54--> '''Angie''': 11/28/11: the day I dated a considerate serial killer cannibal fat bird.
55* Hiyoko's reaction after being locked into the prep room by [[spoiler: Doctor Shuu]].
56--> '''Hiyoko''': What are you doing!? Let me out! Brute! Villain! [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Fluffy heretic!]]
57** Which is followed by a [[http://truemeaningoflife.com/images/hatoful521.jpg despaired]] [[Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei scream]] and BigDamnHeroes from [[spoiler: [[BewareTheSillyOnes Narcolepsy-sensei out all people.]]]]
58* In the manga, Sakuya's reaction to see Yuuya flirting with Hiyoko.
59--> '''Sakuya''': [[CallingYourAttacks Council President Correction Kick!!]]
60--> '''Sakuya''': You're [[SerialEscalation 60.000 years]] too early to lay hands on my subordinate!
61** Yuuya defends himself by saying that she's not just a member of the student council but also his extremely cute subordinate in the heath committee.
62--> '''Sakuya''': [[TheMainCharactersDoEverything Just how many other clubs are you in!?]]
63* In the third Holiday Star story, Hiyoko finally realizes she's not supposed to be on a train in the middle of space when school is mentioned. She proceeds to panic in a hilarious fashion, lamenting that she forgot her spacesuit (that she apparently has) and telling Nageki to close the window before she explodes.
64* The "Sweet Shuu" AprilFoolsDay episodes, simply because of the sheer dissonance. Especially in the second episode from 2016, when he's telling off someone for asking him how to kill someone without getting caught, and Ryouta remarks that it's the first time that he heard him raise his voice.
65** Someone asks him what underwear he's wearing. Not only is he happy to show us here, his underwear turns out to be pink briefs with a heart on them. It's implied he picked them out specially for the question.
