5* A certain rather [[LargeHam hammy]] moment occurs at the beginning of Sonic's story during its opening, and stands out from the rest if only for this one line:
6-->'''Sonic''': Watch out! You're gonna crash! (''sticks his tongue and quills out in a very silly way'') AH!
7* When Eggman transforms the Egg Carrier to make it more difficult to get to the bridge:
8-->'''Tails''': Wow! It just transformed! Did you ''see'' that?
9-->'''Sonic''': (''gives Tails a DisapprovingLook'') Now how do we get to the bridge?
10-->'''Tails''': [[AsideComment I hate it when he doesn't listen]].
11** It's also worth mentioning that Tails' own aircraft, which he built, did the same thing literally only a few minutes before. The way it transformed is even similar to a degree.
12* Gamma's reaction after seeing the horror of his brother being torn apart and rebuilt into a new body.
13--> '''Gamma''': (''[[{{Beat}} beat]]'') [[ComicallyMissingThePoint This is the wrong room.]]
14* Right before landing or rather, crash-landing on the Egg Carrier:
15-->'''Tails''': Alrighty! We're in!
16-->'''Sonic''': We gotta land on the Egg Carrier.
17-->'''Tails''': [[OhCrap Whoops.]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough Uh, I forgot something...]]
18-->'''Sonic''': What's that?
19-->'''Tails''': [[InventionalWisdom There's no landing gear in this mode!]]
20-->'''Sonic''': [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]
21** The scene becomes even funnier if you have the voice acting set to Japanese.
22** In Tails' story, he instead says "I forgot to put in the landing gear!"[[note]]Perhaps this would have worked better the other way around—It makes more sense for Tails to have the more accurate memory of how his design failed, while as far as Sonic is concerned, Tails might as well have forgotten the landing gear entirely.[[/note]]
23* [[https://youtu.be/5JNHvObjkpQ?t=15m57s After clearing Final Egg with Amy:]]
24-->'''Amy''': (''upon evading Zero after Final Egg'') Whew! That was a close one! (''face slowly forms the most miserable and horrified expression possible before abruptly snapping back to stoic'')
25* When Big the Cat leaves the sewer via elevator, the doors would close on his tail, prompting him to go "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFwHzhTTXtI Ow]]".
26* When Gamma is transported to the past in a vision, he is unable to determine his location even after an in-depth scan, and states [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight "This presents a problem"]]. It's the delivery of the line that makes it funny.
27** Similarly, Gamma demanding Amy that she "[[AccidentalInnuendo give him the bird]]". Of course, he means the bird she is carrying, but "[[FlippingTheBird the bird]]" is American slang for a very obscene gesture, which makes this scene look hilarious when looked in this context.
28* Everyone's faces in general when speaking. It seems Sonic Team wasn't [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness too good at rigging.]] Slightly justified by how inexperienced most 3D animation artists were at the time and the lack of decent tools, but it's much more hilarious to someone playing today than back then.
29* After Gamma wakes up from his vision of the past, the first thing he hears is Delta, Epsilon and Zeta arguing over who got the right frog, like children trading cards during recess.
30* Eggman's tantrum after he thinks his robots failed to get Froggy:
31-->'''Eggman''': AAAAAARGH! [[MotorMouth DummiesDummiesDummiesDummies]] '''DUMMIES!''' ''None of you'' got the right one!
32* During Gamma's story, go walk around Station Square and talk to people. Really, the funniest part of this is just how few people seem to notice that you're anything [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight unusual]] and will just launch into talking to you about their mundane problems and stuff. There are a few who notice, of course, and they may or may not be afraid, thinking you anything from a government enforcer to an eccentric rich man's servant robot to a costume (okay, that one's in Mystic Ruins) to knowing who your master is or was.
33* Amy's pigeon-toed with an overlapping gait, so she moves faster through the air than on the ground. As a result, the fastest way to clear Amy's action stages is to have her hop like a frog the whole way!
34* Amy and Sonic are attacked by Zero, and just as Sonic prepares to battle the robot, Amy's sudden cry distracts him. His reaction (and the timing of Amy's theme as it happens) says it all.
35-->'''Amy''': Woah!
36-->'''Sonic''': (''completely unconcerned'') [[OhNoNotAgain Oh, now what?]]
37* A little bit of HilariousInHindsight occurs in Gamma's story. When he gets transported to the past, Tikal tells him that the Chao are being protected by Chaos, describing him as a very "gentle and loving creature". Fast-forward to the end of the game, where Perfect Chaos is destroying everything in his path, potentially murdering thousands of innocent people. Gentle and loving indeed.
38** Likewise, in Sonic's story, Eggman's description of Chaos to anyone who's played nearly any other 3D sonic game:
39--->'''Eggman''': He'll be ''invincible''. And ''[[TemptingFate work for me!]]''
40* Big the Cat's appearance in Tails' storyline is very random -- charging towards Tails like he is going to run him over, only to trip and fall down. Froggy, who is being held by Tails, hops away and Big runs after him. Tails views the experience as a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, and his own reaction makes it even funnier.
41-->'''Tails:''' [[ChewingTheScenery YEEEEE-]]''[[ChewingTheScenery IIIIIIIIKES!]]''
42* Big the Cat's boss battle with Chaos 6 is hilariously anticlimactic, especially after all the hell that fishing for Froggy has been before. He can pull Froggy out in an ''instant.''
43** In the Dreamcast version of the game, the moment you hit the target for Froggy [[GoodBadBugs the game needs to take a second to load data for winning the battle.]] During this moment the game is left hanging, leading more often than not to Big's "Something's biting!" quote when he gets a hit being mutated into "Something's bi-[[BrokenRecord thing's bi-thing's bi-thing's bi]]-FROGGY!"
44* At one point in Amy's Hot Shelter, [[InformedAttribute you go into a restroom.]] With multiple stalls. [[NobodyPoops Apparently, even Eggman's all-robot henchmen crew needs to use the facilities too.]] [[PottyEmergency Or maybe Eggman has such bad luck with toilets that he had multiple stalls set up just in case.]]
45* Selecting Super Sonic on the character selection screen simply displays a floating question mark, and instead of an introductory quote (E.G "Let's get 'em!" from Sonic) you simply hear Sonic say "HMM!". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv9wXt81xDw&t=15s It sounds like Sonic's VA is mid-eating when saying the line.]]
46* At the end of Big's story, he uses the Tornado 2 to escape the crashing Egg Carrier in a quick cutscene. However, [[FreezeFrameBonus if one looks closely,]] he's, well, too big to completely fit in the cockpit. He's awkwardly hanging onto the plane, presumably sticking his arms into it to steer, while trying to keep Froggy from accidentally leaping out mid flight.
47* When you leave Casinopolis as Knuckles, you'll discover Sonic and Tails just sleeping it off right next to you from their own encounter with Eggman.
48-->'''Knuckles:''' Hmmm... I wonder what these guys are doing?
49** And speaking of Knuckles, when playing as Sonic or Tails and fighting against him, he yells out "Oh no!" When he gets hit. But that's not the funny part. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkDMz2ml0gw The voice delivery of this line]] is [[DullSurprise notoriously and laughably flat]].
50* At the end of the first Tails Tornado sub-mission with English voices enabled, the Tornado is blasted and they fall out of the sky. Sonic's reaction sounds more like a extreme sports fan who loves danger ("YEAH! WHOA!") than of someone concerned for his and Tails's safety, whereas if you're playing with Japanese voices, they [[OhCrap yell in fear]].
51** If you fail the second sub-mission, Tails will scream "[[OhNoNotAgain Not again]]!" as the plane falls.
52* Sonic becomes rather hammy if he falls off a stage and loses a life under normal circumstances[[note]](the only exceptions are the battles against the Egg Viper and Perfect Chaos; if he falls down, he says a more serious LittleNo that's also used for being hit without any rings)[[/note]] as he yells out a rather silly "'''[[https://youtu.be/a3mTsmW9AKs NAUGH!]]'''"
53** In the Dreamcast version you can sometimes very rarely have the game play both death clips in sequence if Sonic takes a mortal blow in mid-air just before he hits a death plane, making him sound as if [[LargeHam he's auditioning for a soap opera]]: "No...NAUGH!!!"
54* Just before the FinalBoss fight with Perfect Chaos, Eggman approaches it with a ''second'' Egg Carrier, which was never mentioned at any prior point in the game. Whereas the first Egg Carrier took the entire story to go down, the Egg Carrier 2 gets blown out of the sky by Perfect Chaos ''[[CurbStompBattle less than 30 seconds]]'' after it's introduced.
55* Sonic taunting Eggman when they confront each other in the Mystic Ruins -- [[EmbarrassingNickname coining his infamous nickname]] in the English dub -- and marking the start of him being called it worldwide:
56-->'''Eggman:''' (''[[EvilLaugh laughs wickedly]]'') If it isn't Sonic!\
57'''Sonic:''' Look, it's a giant, talking egg!\
58'''Eggman:''' Silence! I am Doctor Robotnik, the greatest scientific genius... in the world!\
59'''Sonic:''' (''in a gleefully-snarky way'') [[TheGadfly Whatever you say,]] ''[[TheGadfly Eggman~!]]''\
60'''Eggman:''' '''''ENOUGH!'''''
61* Near the end of Final Egg, are three crudely made dolls of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Turns out Eggman used them as training dummies for his robots.
62* When Eggman fires the missile that is the objective of Tails' Speed Highway at Station Square to dramatic music, it hits...and completely fails to detonate, complete with the music abruptly cutting off. After an awkward pause and a shot of Tails just standing there, Eggman exclaims;
63-->'''Eggman:''' Aah! ''No!'' It was a ''dud!'' I can't ''believe this!''
64** Earlier in the scene when Tails sees Eggman land in Station Square with a crash, his English line reading ends up sounding pretty silly.
65-->'''Tails:''' That's Eggman! (In an oddly casual and sing-songy tone) [[MotorMouth Iwonderhathappenedtosonic.]]
66** When you get to this point in Amy Rose's story, she and Tails simply exchange goodbyes and she has a whole conversation with Birdie where she decides to head to the Mystic Ruins to help Birdie find her missing family...[[FunnyBackgroundEvent right about the time Eggman would be launching that missile into the city.]]
