3	! The games
4
5	!!''The House of the Dead''
6	* Anyone who has played VideoGame/Rayman1 will recognize the titular character's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQhWROgMTeI Level Clear Laughter]] sound effect from said game being used for the [[https://youtu.be/NzCB0mkJNbA?t=110 Hanged Man's laugh]] at the beginning of the game when he grabs Sophie with his talons, which is just so out of place that it is hilarious. Unfortunately, the remake doesn't have that soundbite.
7
8	!!''The House of the Dead 2''
9	* "Suffer like G did?"
10	* ''HOTD 2''[='=]s voice-acting in general. It clearly falls in the SoBadItsGood category, and can really turn what is supposed to be a serious story into pure comedy. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ftc_Pbhb3IE Observe]].
11	* In the fifth chapter, a few zombies chase after the players in a car. The driver, also a zombie, just stares at the player menacingly.
12
13	!!''The House of the Dead III''
14	* In one of the game's MultipleEndings, Lisa and G's van suddenly drives off and Lisa thinks her dad left her. Lisa turns around and sees Rogan and Daniel, then realizes that her car was just stolen by a zombie. Lisa then chases after the zombie and says, "Hey, that's my car, you slimy bastards! SayYourPrayers!"
15
16	!!''The House of the Dead 4''
17	* Most of the [[BondOneLiner lines spoken immediately after defeating a boss]] comes off as [[LargeHam totally hammy.]] These also depend on who is being controlled or who gets the final blow in a 2 player game (With the exception of the last two). Examples include:
18	** "You're paying for my dry cleaning once we're out of here." -Kate to James after Justice is defeated. Even funnier that it's humorous in contrast to James' remark about the apocalypse rising again.
19	** "This is straight out of a movie I saw," Kate says as the duo jump from one elevator to another right before the Lovers boss battle.
20	** After the battle? James nonchalantly says, "I kind of like being an action hero." Cue a facepalm and a groan from Kate.
21	** For the fight against The Empress, James says "Looks like you missed your ''stop!''" with emphasis on the last word. Kate says "Don't forget to write!" with a rather cheery tone, likely just to taunt Empress.
22	** "Temper this, buddy!" and "How do you like my low fat, all lead diet?" are the lines James and Kate throw at the obese Temperance, once again depending on who defeats them. Also serves as [[MoodWhiplash Mood Whiplash]], considering what comes afterwards.
23	* The fact that Temperance, who [[{{Kevlard}} flinches at best]] from being shot, is defeated by ''dropping a giant clock on its head''.
24	* Once again we see a zombie driving a car, but this one never turns to look at the heroes. He keeps his eyes on the road, so to speak, but by the looks of it he either has no idea what he's doing or is thrilled to be doing so, like a kid driving his dad's car for the first time despite lack of experience.
25	* Certain lines in the midst of gameplay can have their own charm too.
26	** "Ugh, I'm tired of getting WET!" -Kate, when taking the left path in Chapter 2.
27	** "We're going to walk, on the PIPES?!?"- Kate after just telling you she's afraid of heights and wondering if zombies are afraid of heights then choosing the right path in Chapter 2.
28	** [[AccidentalInnuendo "H-Hey, I'm not into that."]] - G shaking off a zombie in The House of the Dead 4 Special.
29	** "Do you really like me ''that much''?!" Kate after getting grabbed and shaken by a zombie.
30	* The room in DBR HQ that's decorated with Japanese decor [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment for absolutely no reason]].
31	--> '''Kate:''' I think he needs to hire a new decorator.
32	* Some of the results screen quotes are worthy of mentioning here:
33	** If James winds up with an E rank on a level:
34	--> '''Kate:''' You've gotta do better than that!
35	--> '''James:''' Maybe I should retire...
36	** If Kate gets a D rank on a level:
37	--> '''James:''' I think you need a little more practice.
38	--> '''Kate:''' Oooh...I think I need to go back to the practice range.
39	** If James gets the second highest overall rank, which is a really odd case of a possible translation error, it's even weirder how the following quote was re-used in 4 Special for G.
40	--> '''James/G:''' I think I did better than Logan![[note]]It's very likely they're supposed to be referring to Thomas Rogan.[[/note]]
41	!!''The Typing of the Dead''
42	* From the tutorial:
43	** The benefits of touch-typing are, apparently, finishing work early so you can enjoy karaoke, and living long enough to take your retirement pension, because [[SeriousBusiness touch typing is the difference between life and death]].
44	** James shows what happens if you have to look at the keyboard to type with a demonstration of himself getting smacked by a zombie every time he looks down at the keyboard.
45	* Agent G and Detective Washington blowing the popsicle stand that is [[CircusOfFear Carny]] in... a popsicle stand. Well, an ice cream truck.
46	-->'''Washington:''' Can I drive?
47	-->'''G:''' '''''NO!'''''
48	-->'''Washington:''' Can I have a lollipop?
49	-->'''G:''' ...Yes.
50	* The entire game is one big SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}}, especially due to some of the weird phrases you have to type, or getting a word or phrase that's perfect for the situation (like a zombie jumping out of nowhere and forcing you to type "Boo!")
51	** The Tower in Mission 3 gives the player questions, and then asks them to type the right answer. One of the possible answers to "Which of these is bigger than a bread box?" is "Yeast infection."
52	* The question-and-answer format of the Tower? It's reused again for the final phase of [[FinalBoss The Emperor]]. This time, all three possible answers to each question are "correct" (however, they influence which ending you get). The answers range from semi-serious to outright silly. Some of the example questions are:
53	** "What does Valentine's Day mean to you?"
54	### A romantic evening with your true love
55	### Torment if you are single
56	### Mind your own business
57	** "Things you love to hate:"
58	### Models your lover thinks are cute
59	### Athletes who are stronger than you
60	### [[ThatOneBoss The Emperor Boss]] [[LampshadeHanging in this game]]
61	** "Ways to prove you like her friends?
62	### Write thank-you notes after every visit
63	### Fix them an elaborate dinner
64	### Hit on them shamelessly
65	* The game's endings. Take your pick between:
66	** [[spoiler:Goldman jumping off the building like in the original [=HotD=] 2, followed by an explosion and James's StunnedSilence.]]
67	** [[spoiler:Goldman bungee-jumping off the building, bouncing back up, and then burping.]]
68	** [[spoiler:Goldman letting it rip and then taking off into the sky, again with James's speechless reaction.]]
69	* The credits sequence, which replaces the ending theme with [[SoundtrackDissonance one of the stage themes]] and shows a row of glass tubes. Typing the staff names out causes one of the zombies to break out of their tube and start dancing. By the end, the entire row is dancing.
70	* Whenever you see a character in the game running around with keyboards strapped around their neck. It's especially absurd since they're ''killing zombies with them'' ([[FridgeLogic somehow]]).
71	** Not to mention the characters are wearing giant Dreamcasts on their back, powered by an equally giant battery.
72
73	!!''Loving Deads: The House of the Dead EX''
74	* So you finally get to one of the first "boss" minigames, and it looks a lot like the battle with Justice from ''4''...but then Justice tells you that ''its teeth hurt''. Your objective? ''[[WorstAid Shoot its bad teeth out]].''
75
76
77	!! ''The Film'':
78	* "You created it all so you can become immortal! Why!?"
