1* In the first game, the protagonist makes it back to the bathroom, locking the door behind him. But he can't help but feel he's forgetting something... Or rather, someone. Cue BlackComedyBurst:
2-->'''Guard''': Huh? What have you done to this place!?\
3'''Protagonist''': [[OhCrap Oh, damn! I forgot Dialla]]!\
4* Gunfire outside the door*\
5'''Protagonist''': You know those stories where the valiant hero saves the damsel in distress, and in the end, they both live happily ever after? In this story, [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope I just realized I'm not one of those heroes]].
6* "Get in there, or [[LargeHam I'll shoot you]]!"
7* Pocketknifing through a concrete wall.
8** Funnier still when later, once Dialla's knife disappears after making the "banana-rope-knife-glue"...thing, she breaks another chunk of wall. With what, this time? Her bare hands! She won't touch grease because it'll get her nails dirty, but she'll happily risk chipping them (or worse, seriously injuring herself) to break through the same kind of wall?
9* Speaking of, the fishing rod puzzle. You glue a banana to a rope and put a pocketknife through it. This somehow catches a fish. Either the fish had teeth sharp enough to get through the peel right away and it then decided to hold on even after being lifted from the water, or it bit the knife without somehow completely slicing its mouth off. There's a reason fishing hooks are shaped the way they are, and not like pocket knives. The fishing pole is adventure game moon-logic at its finest, and it's hysterical.
10** That, and as one Youtube commenter pointed out, is a sewer fish ''really'' something you want your cat eating?
11** Better yet, your reward for fetching a fish in this bizarre, moon-logic fashion? A blow torch, which the cat's owner just casually trades you!
12-->"[[AccentOnTheWrongSyllable Thank you, young lady. I have no USE for this BLOW torch of mine."]]
13** The shopkeeper who owns the cat also happens to look and sound like Patrick Stewart, making it even funnier.
14* Mickey Lee's death scene.
15-->'''Proteus''': He's got a smirk-He ''is'' the smug emoticon!
16* The sink puzzle in Escape. Especially the result of this, with the guard immediately slipping on the floor.
17-->"HUUUAAAUUUGGGHHHH" *Whump!*
18* Dialla will refuse to leave her apartment unless you collect everything there is to collect inside. Why she needs a banana, a teddy bear, and a light bulb to chase down a criminal is unexplained.
19** In all fairness the Banana could have just been intended as a snack if she got hungry, and the teddy bear is something of a SecurityBlanket for Dialla...though there's still no real reason why she'd need to bring a lightbulb.
20* [=McNeely=]'s VillainousRescue of Dialla:
21-->'''[=McNeely=]''': Let her go, Whitey. You can't have her. She's mine!\
22'''Jason White''': I'm not giving her up. She helped me out. And now I'm going to return the favor.\
23'''[=McNeely=]''': Oh? Not even for...a taste of eternity? ([[SchmuckBait Pulls out a syringe of Immorgamsics]])\
24'''Jason''': Immorgamsics? ([[TooDumbToLive Lets Dialla go and reaches for the syringe]]) [[KilledMidSentence Give it h--]]!\
25([[BoomHeadshot McNeely shoots Jason in the head with a pistol]])\
26'''[=McNeely=]''': [[LampshadeHanging You'd think he would've noticed the gun in my other hand]]. Blinded by greed, I guess... Idiot.
27* "By the way... Did I forget to mention I have a ''thing'' for women?" [[SarcasmMode No!]] ''[[SarcasmMode You don't say]]''!
28** Not "I have a thing for girls with red hair" or "I have a thing for girls that are tough", just "I have a thing for women". What, did he think she was just assuming that he was trying to rape her just for kicks and he's actually gay?
29* Dialla asks White to help her escape from her cell, and suddenly his dialogue turns incredibly stilted, with intonation problems worse than the shopkeeper's and an accent that can best be described as "someone trying to imitate a Texan while coming off of sleeping pills".
30* The shooting game that happens in the third part between Dialla and Merek has Merek make very strange pain noises when shot that can only be described in text as "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhg"; it sounds like he's waking up from a heavy sleep. When Dialla gets shot, she just whimpers a bit and makes some sort of noise that sounds like a sneeze.
31* A headline about a serial killer being at large? Not funny. [[WorstNewsJudgementEver The headline relegating a story about the return of Jesus Christ?]] Funny.
