1 | * Alexander is a entertaining combination of TheChewToy, StoicWoobie, and MrFanservice. The game gets ridiculous amounts of mileage out of TheComicallySerious Alexander being put into whimsically silly situations. A few examples: |
2 | ** Hopping across the still-uncomfortably hot pond after he cools it down, arms flailing like it's a rave. |
3 | ** Talking to the catacomb ceiling after it's been jammed. "Stay up, ceiling! Goooooooood ceiling." |
4 | ** If you have Alexander try throwing the Rotten Tomato instead of Bump-On-A-Log, it goes... maybe all of five feet. Bump and Stick-in-the-Mud then make merciless fun of Alexander's lack of throwing skill. |
5 | ** His pitiful BadLiar reactions to being caught by the guards during the Short Path. "Hi. Uh... nice castle!" "Hello, there! Um... nice... painting?" |
6 | ** If he talks to Jollo in the castle's basement towards the end, he cracks a surprising number of utterly dry, deadpan jokes during the conversation, all of which Jollo reacts to in exasperation. |
7 | ** Or if you fall off the Cliffs of Logic, he'll suffer a moment of [[GravityIsAHarshMistress Gravitational Cognizance]], then wave goodbye before falling. |
8 | * If you get the magic map before going to the castle, there's a hilarious scene between the Vizier and a very drunk genie, in which the genie mangles Alexander's name multiple times and announces that Alex has gotten a "Magic Smap!" |
9 | ** Most of the scenes where you can get the genie blind, stinking drunk on mint can be filed here. |
10 | * The Queens in Chessboard Land arguing over who gets to give a lump of coal as a wedding present. |
11 | * Rotten Tomato's insults if you keep clicking on him, including making fun of how much junk you have in your inventory. |
12 | --> What do you want from me? A re-cer-tation or something? Leave me alone. |
13 | --> I gotta lawyer ya know. There's kidnappin laws in this here kingdom. |
14 | --> Yer ugly and you smell bad. Yeah. Put me down before I juice all over ya. |
15 | --> What are you born in a BARN? Yeah it's pigsty back here. Yeah. All this STUFF ya got. Whaddaya wanna carry all this trash around for? |
16 | * During the course of the game, Alexander is confronted by a number of odd folks with [[SupernaturalGoldEyes glowing eyes]], who often tempt him to do [[TooDumbToLive rather stupid and dangerous things]]. If he doesn't do such things, and instead talks to them, they grow exasperated and say hilarious things. |
17 | * In order to get the guard's skeleton key in the Land of the Dead, Alexander plays "Dem Bones" on a xylophone, leading to what WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} dubbed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkP5OtN0aCw "the land of the wacky dead"]]. |
18 | * Every GameOver screen, crossed with {{Pun}}s pertaining to what has just transpired. In this case, losing is funny! |
19 | * The fact the pawnshop has items that would have been useful in all previous games in the series. A few examples include [[VideoGame/KingsQuestIIRomancingTheThrone a bridge repairing kit]], [[VideoGame/KingsQuestIIIToHeirIsHuman cat cookie mix]], [[VideoGame/KingsQuestIVThePerilsOfRosella a shovel that won't break until 100 uses]], [[VideoGame/KingsQuestVAbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder an Owl bravery potion]]... seriously, Graham, have your people invest in that place and turn it into a chain, placing them in every kingdom in case of future adventures. |
20 | * Bookworm is a DeadpanSnarker: |
21 | -->'''Bookworm:''' Was it a rare book you wanted? |
22 | -->'''Alexander:''' Yes, sir. |
23 | -->'''Bookworm:''' Well, then none of ''these'' (they are surrounded by stacks of books) will do; they've been sitting in the sun for far too long, and must be well-cooked by now. |
24 | * The Pawn Shop owners reaction if you give him the skull: |
25 | -->'''Pawn Shop Owner:''' Arrgh no thank you. I leave the storage of bones to the graveyard!! |
26 | * If, for some reason, you decide to talk to a boiling pond on the Isle of the Beast: |
27 | -->'''Alexander:''' Listen here, pond! I wish to pass! |
28 | -->'''Narrator:''' The pond, rather hotheadedly, refuses to respond. |
29 | ** Then, if you do that after chucking the iceberg lettuce in the pond to cool it down: |
30 | -->'''Narrator:''' The pond gives Alexander the cold shoulder. |
