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.
