2* The Magician's little asides as he drops the ExcusePlot;
3-->''(After describing the idyllic setting)'' Sorry folks, this apparently can't last.
4-->''(After Mr. Dark throws off the world's balance)'' Troublesome, isn't it? And untidy, too.
5* When the Magician declares, "RAYMAN TO THE RESCUE!" We cut to Rayman... just chilling in a hammock at the beach, and just lazily giving a thumbs-up to it.
6-->'''Rayman:''' (''with absolutely zero urgency'') No problem.

14* The Teensies all arguing over which one of them is the king. In the end, they simply pass the crown around at regular intervals, since they can't agree on who is the king.
15* Walking shells. Rayman can tame and ''ride'' them.
16* Rayman disguising as a purple bush to sneak into a Robot Pirate base at the end of the "Canopy" level is funny enough, but even better is what happens when their scanner detects him.
17-->'''Pirate Scanner:''' It's okay everyone, it's just a big-nosed bush.
18* The Bad Ending of the Cave of Bad Dreams that you get from choosing the treasure over the medicine you need to save Clark surprisingly qualifies. It suddenly cuts to a fat Rayman relaxing on his own private island surrounded by his gold with the words "THE END" up in the sky. The game then promptly cuts right back to the choice you made to get the bad end. Stands out as a very silly and funny "What if" ending in what is otherwise [[NightmareFuel one of the gloomiest levels in the game]], and [[MoodWhiplash the suddenness of the game cutting to it out of nowhere during a fairly serious moment]] and then immediately going back to that serious moment like nothing happened makes it even funnier.

22* After defeating the [[GiantFootOfStomping Hoodstomper]], Rayman takes control of the ridiculous machine and [[UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem turns it against the Hoodlums]]. There's a LargeHamAnnouncer voice commenting it like a sports competition as he does so.
23* The Knaaren occasionally make threats during gameplay. Sometimes it's a legitimate threat, but other times...
24-->'''Knaaren:''' Make him write bad checks!
25** Sometimes, Rayman will overhear conversations between the Knaaren, which are a welcome source of NightmareRetardant.
26-->'''Knaaren:''' (''loud coughing'') Hey, does anyone have any cough syrup?!
27* Murfy has some good ones, particularly when he breaks the fourth wall. Probably the best, however, is...
28-->'''Murfy:''' I was told that after ''Rayman 2'' I'd be cast as a tormented artist who falls in love with a girl with great, big...[[BaitAndSwitch eyes]]. And here I am, still playing the sidekick in a low-budget flick. Sheesh!
29* The Teensie doctors can be pretty funny at times, particularly their, erm...[[ThePowerOfRock methods]] for curing Globox.
30** The second doctor, Romeo, has one particularly glorious moment where he [[StealthInsult insults]] [[TheDitz Globox]] by recommending a doctor that specializes in "hollow cavities". [[DontExplainTheJoke André is currently residing in Globox's brain]]. The way Romeo throws it out there without breaking character makes it all the more hilarious. He's also, arguably, the last of the three you'd expect to insult someone.
31** The Teensies in general. When freeing them, they help you once, and then come up with either the [[IHaveToGoIronMyDog lamest or weirdest excuses on why they can't help.]] It's unknown whether or not if it's because [[LovableCoward they're scared]], or because they're... [[CloudCuckooLander Odd.]]
32* Globox falling for an obvious trap, simply because there was LITERALLY a cardboard cut-out of a girl in a bikini.
33* Most of Razoff's quotes.
34-->'''Razoff:''' You will be perfect in my living room... STUFFED AND MOUNTED ON MY WALL!!!
35* Although the final boss is pretty tense, the following exchange definitely helps the mood:
36-->'''André:''' Wow, Reflux, you're so big, and strong!
37-->'''Reflux:''' Yes, Andy.
38-->'''André:''' With the energy from your mighty scepter, I will be able to reproduce... infinitely! ''(EvilLaugh)''
39-->'''Reflux:''' Yes, Andy.
40-->'''André:''' "Yes, Andy. Yes, Andy." Can't you say anything else?!
41-->'''Reflux:''' NO, ANDY.
42* The unlockable bonus "lessons" on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM8zMfpwdFY how to kick Rayman.]]
43* Many of André's interactions with Globox while in the latter's stomach, such as after you defeat Hoodstomper:
44-->'''Globox:''' Did you see that, Rayman? I almost wasn't scared!
45-->'''André:''' Yeah, and you almost didn't wet yourself. You disgust me!
46
47!!''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge''
48* This gem from near the end of the intro stage:
49-->'''Murfy:''' Hey Rayman, I think we are almost at the end of the level!
50-->'''Rayman:''' Really? [[DeadpanSnarker Maybe that's why there's this big "Exit" sign here]].
51* Just like with its predecessor on the home consoles, a lot of the lines you get from the Teensies when you break them free from their Cages are pretty amusing. A few choice ones:
52-->''"I have to go and return my socks, they're rented."''
53-->''"[[ToiletHumor I have go and drop the kids off at the pool]]."''
54-->''"I need to go and inspire today's youth."''
55-->''"[[CuteAndPsycho I have to go and break something]]."''
56* Globox gets PromotedToPlayable for certain levels in this game, which take place while he's possessed by André's spirit. He'll normally [[LovableCoward cower and run away in fear when he sees an enemy]], so how do you deal with them? André has him scarf down barrels of Plum Juice[[note]]Which [[CantHoldHisLiquor has a]] ''[[CantHoldHisLiquor very]]'' [[CantHoldHisLiquor intoxicating effect on him]][[/note]], causing Globox to instantly [[LiquidCourage "gain the courage"]] to beat them up. Who expected what essentially amounts to a drunken bar-brawler in a ''Rayman'' game?
57* After a long and dangerous adventure that involves him being dragged across the world, possessed by the ghost of a deceased archnemesis and turned into a clone of Relux before [[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim being forcibly changed back]], what's the first thing Globox says after being revived? [[SkewedPriorities Wondering if he missed breakfast]].

61* In the first trailer, when Rayman and Globox meet, they become friends by slapping and punching each other. Also, during a fight with a golem, Globox latches onto the side of its head with his ''teeth'' and starts slapping his eye.
62** Slapping other players is actually a gameplay mechanic, and exists for no reason other than to [[ItAmusedMe completely screw with your friends]].
63** It's used even funnier at the end of the launch trailer. It has the characters winding up their super attacks, ready to exchange blows, then Rayman lands the hit before anyone else, punching his friends into hot lava!
64* The scene in the intro in which Rayman realizes he's holding a skull in his hand, then screams in a high-pitched voice, then everyone else starts screaming, including the skull.
65--> [[ReactiveContinuousScream WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!]]
66* During the final boss, the Magician, who actually turns out to be evil, falls over as his hat falls off. He takes a look at it, and then starts dancing, a la the original game. He gets Rayman and friends to follow suit, and just as the number is over, the Magician speeds off, and those present have a "Wait, shit" look on their faces. ItMakesSenseInContext.
67* The ending segment, should you not unlock the Land of the Livid Dead, can be this. The heroes just trounced the big bad and land right back where they started for some well-deserved rest... but then the game continues, with the realization that what just happened was ''entirely unrelated'' to the issue that started this mess; Rayman and his pals snoring loud enough to ''literally'' wake the dead, and having to go back out into the world all over again to try and end the current dilemma for real.
68* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2KXxGgMPZQ This]] halloween-themed trailer featuring the Grannies and zombie versions of Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies.
69* Monster Voodoo Mamma polishing her nails right before you fight her. This combined with the music playing is ''hilarious''.
70* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Cuft_FLV4 "Kal Penn VS. The Kid"]] trailer, featuring Creator/KalPenn and hilariously highlighting the ongoing "{{hardcore}} vs. [[CasualVideoGame casual]] gamer" debate. Features several {{Shout Out}}s as well.
71-->'''Kal Penn:''' What kind of epic weapons does this Rayman have? A [[VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}} rusty tire]] [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas iron]], a [[VideoGame/GearsOfWar chainsaw]]? How about some [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity tear gas]]? Or, oh, can he call in an [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty air-strike]] on a A-10 [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Warthog]]?\
72'''The Kid:''' It's the WhiteGloves.
