* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQmHbP9_VjI Dan showing his tap dancing skills before demonstrating his level 1.]]
* Here lies Sir Daniel Fortesque, who got his shit kicked in by Radec for ''asking directions''. The way [[NotSoAboveItAll Radec just pauses and backs up]] a bit upon seeing Sir Dan makes it even funnier.
* One of [[Franchise/RatchetAndClank Ratchet's]] losing animations involves him throwing his wrench in the air. It then lands on his head.
** His firing of the RYNO V is accompanied by a snippet of ''1812 Overture'', just like it did in [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime its original appearance.]]
* A good chunk of [[VideoGame/ParappaTheRapper PaRappa's]] battle dialogue is hilarious. It usually [[CallBack references]] the rap lyrics from his game.
** [[NobodyCallsMeChicken "You are a chicken, from the kitchen!"]]
** Some lines are new to the game, but amusingly sound like they'd be rap lyrics as well.
*** "[[ItemGet Pick up the item!]]"
* Dan's default losing animation has him dejectedly sit on a gravestone reading "Here lies Sir Dan." A bit of dark humor that wouldn't be out of place in the ''VideoGame/MediEvil'' series.
** [[https://tenor.com/view/dance-skeleton-gif-9358221 On the other hand, there's this winning animation.]]
* A few moments in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxTYkuSIjk4 Attract Trailer]]:
** [[VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry Dante]] pulling out Ebony and Ivory to fight [[VideoGame/HeavenlySword Nariko]]...only for [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Heihachi]] to bust in and toss him out of the way, proceeding to mock him.
** [[VideoGame/MediEvil Fortesque]] kneels to VideoGame/FatPrincess after protecting her from [[VideoGame/InFAMOUS Evil!Cole]], and then comically dodges shots from [[VideoGame/{{Killzone}} Colonel Radec.]]
*** A few moments later, Radec knocks down Fortesque, dislodging his skull. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The rest of his body can be seen chasing his rolling cranium in the background]] as [[VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet Sackboy]] appears.
** [[VideoGame/BioShock Big Daddy]] getting jealous of Sackboy because his Little Sister likes Sackboy better. He proceeds to charge at Sackboy... only to slip on a banana peel Sackboy threw while he was charging.
** On top of that, as everything else is happening, Cole is simply [[DissonantSerenity walking through the carnage with an amused smile]].
* The reason why [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal Sweet Tooth]] hates [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]]. [[spoiler:[[LostFoodGrievance He spilled his ice cream]]. Made funnier by the fact that Sweet Tooth didn't even try to attack Kratos afterwards; he says "Pick that up! And pay for it!"]]
** Actually, he does try and attack Kratos in his own cutscene, telling him that he's going to pay for it, one way or another.
* The [[VideoGame/{{Resistance}} San Francisco]] stage opens with a POV of the main character, Nathan Hale walking out to see the carnage in the city. Then the fighters enter. What makes this funny is that you can hear someone calling Nathan to fall back and get the hell out of there as the fight goes on, implying he's just standing there, ''[[SkewedPriorities watching the fight instead of running off.]]''
** Speaking of that stage, when the Brainwave Scrambler inevitably turns on Dr. Nefarious, one of his lines is naturally to call out for...
---> '''Dr. Nefarious:''' LAAAAWREEEEEEEEEEEENCE!
* Stowaways transition from ''Uncharted'' to ''Bioshock'' includes a new platform courtesy of a Handyman knocking it down from the plane, then struggling and failing to hold on, [[BlackComedy subsequently flying off behind the plane.]]
* The end of [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Drake's]] story. It's just so perfectly timed.
-->'''Drake:''' [[spoiler:I punched a chicken.]]
** On that note, Drake's completely nonplussed reaction to [[ARareSentence a talking raccoon demanding he hand the pages back.]] Considering the kind of weird characters and stages he'd have to go through to reach Sly, you can't really blame him for [[SeenItAll just accepting something so weird.]]
** Similarly, Heihachi doesn't even flinch when he sees two chibi-humanoid cats, just telling them to run along. Evidently, he remembers [[VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken seeing them before.]]
* Most of what [[spoiler:Polygon Man]] says is hilarious.
-->Who's thirsty for a glass of ultimate power?!
-->I consider this a Role Playing Game. Today, you'll be playing the part of the pinata!
* In Fortesque's rivalry cutscene with Radec, Fortesque desperately tries to explain himself while constantly side-stepping out of the sights of Radec's shotgun. The funny part is that Fortesque's movements are so random and goofy that it takes Radec, a ''trained military marksman'', a full ''3 seconds'' to react.
** Radec's cutscene is also funny; you can't help but laugh at Radec asking Sir Dan to "Speak clearly." Plus Sir Dan looks genuinely confused when Radec prepares to fight him.
** The way the narrator just stops his monologue the moment Radec points his gun at Sir Daniel. Even he couldn't have seen that coming.
* In Cole's rival cutscene, he walks calmly across the rival stage... when suddenly, Raiden appears behind him and does sword tricks. Cole's reaction is a mix of "What the hell?", "Oh, boy, here we go," and "Uh... okay."
-->'''Raiden:''' What are you up to?
-->'''Cole:''' Uh, just looking... for some... people.
* Evil Cole and Fat Princess. The cutscenes just match just how weird the matchup really is.
-->'''Fat Princess:''' Do ''you'' have any cake, by chance?
-->'''Evil Cole:''' I'm not looking for cake. I'm looking for... special people.
-->'''Fat Princess:''' There's no reason to be rude about it! [Evil Cole approaches her, ignoring the guards threatening him.]
-->'''Evil Cole:''' You're gonna be ''wishing'' for rude when I'm done with you!
** Evil Cole's version is just as funny. Happening upon the unusual sight of a bloated princess with several midget guards, Fat Princess casually shoves two cakes down her throat and asks Cole to surrender his cake while the cake is still in her mouth. Now Evil Cole, having the goal of having the biggest "It's all mine" complex, refuses to give her any pastries he may or may not have. At the same time, a curious warrior pokes Cole's hand with his sword and gets zapped. The fact that [[FauxAffablyEvil he probably acts less hostile before fighting her]] than most fighters do, even the Good Cole, is pretty amusing too.
---> '''Evil Cole:''' Whoa. Now I've seen everything.
** That quote is said by Evil Cole in Fat Princess's version, though.
* Heihachi's Level 3 super is so bizarre you can't help but laugh, and if you get [[BigEater Fat Princess]] with it, [[EasterEgg she has her own special animation]] where she's chained at the waist (instead of the arms and legs like the other characters) and dejectedly takes a nibble of her cake.
** Other characters have funny animations for Heihachi's Level 3, such as Nathan Drake being tied upside down by his feet, Sir Daniel and Toro being tied up sideways, Daxter trying to free Jak, and Ratchet & Clank looking at each other and screaming, and Sackboy having a huge SMILE one his face. [=PaRappa=] and Spike, on the other hand, look very worried, and you can't help but feel sorry for them.
* [[ARareSentence "Well, this net will hold you as well as it does those monkeys!"]] And if you're playing as Spike against Parappa here, one can assume he succeeded in sending the poor, confused dog to an equally poor, confused Professor. One can only wonder how that went down.
** And if we look at their brief tussle in the game's intro, it seems that net won't hold Parappa after all. The fact that Spike just seemed content to walk off with the sentient dog in his net is definitely worth a chuckle.
** Hell, the implication that Spike is just fighting everyone in his Arcade Mode because he thinks they're working with Specter is pretty funny. Kid has some serious trust issues.
* Just try and keep a straight face after you see [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu5Ma8EWqCQ&t=9m30s Hades doing the Apache Dance]].
* Just the simple ''concept'' of the WarGod, a [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal psychopathic murderous clown]], the [[VideoGame/InFAMOUS Demon of Empire City]], and a [[VideoGame/MetalGear cyborg ninja]] being defeated by an [[VideoGame/FatPrincess obese princess]], a [[VideoGame/PaRappaTheRapper flat rapping dog]], a [[VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet living sack]], or a normal cat is fairly amusing.
** Better yet, in the stages themselves, Chop Chop Master Onion destroying the MAWLR from Killzone, and the Loco Rocos smashing Metal Gear RAY into the ground. Hell, the MAWLR even looks at its unlikely killer as if to say "Wait, what?" befor getting sucker-punched, while the RAY just looks absolutely flummoxed by the cartoon creatures bouncing on it.
** Hades, God of Death, recurring enemy of Kratos, getting defeated by the Patapon is a sight to behold.
** [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal Black Rock Stadium's]] mash-up gets rather amusing since the invasion of the [[VideoGame/JakAndDaxter Red Guard]] garners absolutely no response from the vehicles competing in the blood sport going on in the background. Even as they try to chase down Sweet Tooth (the vehicle), Axel, and a helicopter. Doubly funny as the Twisted Metal competitors end the fight by taking down the cannons and shooting the screen showing Baron Praxis' mantra. Considering none of the drivers likely know who he is, one could interpret the whole thing as them [[EnemyMine all teaming up on him]] and wrecking his stuff [[BigShutUp just to shut him up.]]
* In the Dojo stage, you can see Prince Fleaswallow just casually poke his head out over the fence of his bazaar ''[[DissonantSerenity while town is being attacked by a giant mech.]]'' Then he just goes back down with his usual expression as if to say "Yeah, this is fine." Chop Chop Master Onion's students also [[SkewedPriorities seem so dedicated to their training that they don't give a crap about the invasion either.]] Then again, so do the fighters.
** Speaking of Master Onion, he tries to get the fighters to follow his moves like in Parappa's game. For obvious reason, they don't. [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Cue the Master getting increasingly frustrated with them.]]
* The end of Emmett's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRUQk1N4e1k reveal trailer]].
-->'''Ratchet:''' [[{{Understatement}} This... could be bad.]]
* The gargoyle in the ''[=MediEvil=]''/''The Unfinished Swan'' stage will insult players in the match; it has a specific insult for a majority of the cast.
--> (To Kratos) "''No need to be so irate mate, it's not that bad being bald.''"
--> (To Fat Princess) "''All hail her royal stoutness.''"
--> (To Big Daddy) "''You don't look like her father...''"
--> (To Dante) "''While you are exceedingly cool, Demon Hunter, putting on a shirt and getting a job is much cooler!''"
* Some of Buzz's lines when players answer his questions incorrectly.
-->'''Buzz:''' You are a dozen lifetimes of dense rolled into one.
-->'''Buzz:''' Look at your score, then look any of us in the eye. I dare you.
* Franzea starts out as the typical Locoroco fare, with a bright, bouncy and overall happy atmosphere. Suddenly, the Desperado RAY from Metal Gear Rising cuts open the background, revealing the African city background. After it gets some potshots on the fighters, a giant Kulche rolls past and ''squashes the RAY.'' It spends the rest of the fight staring up at the stage fading in and out of consciousness.
** On a similar matter, the concept of [[VideoGame/GodofWar Hades]] getting overrun by the Patapon is pretty funny on its own. And the Patapon manage to defeat Hades by launching a few spears at him.
* Parappa is pretty sure in Spike's rival cutscene that [[AlmightyJanitor Chop Chop Master Onion]] isn't trying to take over the world... [[AmbiguouslyEvil yet.]]
* Isaac's Hand Cannon taunt. Practical in the sense that if timed right, he may net 60 AP, and [[MoodWhiplash may follow it up]] with one of his LimitBreak[=s=].
* This quip from Dante when he respawns:
--> '''Dante:''' "I die... I come back. Insane!''
* The endings imply that, when bestowed with the power of a God, [[MundaneUtility Parappa will use it to improve his singing style, while Sly and Drake will use it to fuel their vehicles.]]
* There's something hilarious about Ratchet and Clank butting heads with Jak and Daxter. [[{{Jerkass}} Daxter]] is starting the fight over extremely petty things either Ratchet or Clank said, [[BloodKnight Jak]] enables his friend's behaviour. [[OnlySaneMan Clank]] is trying to be cordial and defuse the situation, and [[HotBlooded Ratchet]] is just rolling with the chaos unfolding before him, simply waiting for the inevitable fight to break out.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7vSBRmYulM If you thought Heihachi's Level 3 couldn't get funnier...]]
* One of the pre-battle animations for VideoGame/JakAndDaxter: "[[BreakingTheFourthWall This isn't a Game]]"
* The crew from ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' gave us a look into the game's [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N3JNnua5X98 break room]].
* One of the funniest moments attributed to this game actually happened in a completely separate one. In the 2022 game ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'', Kratos' Norse companion, Mimir, so-called "smartest man alive", makes an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FlCht5RfR0 idle comment]] that he once heard a story about Kratos taking part in a "tournament", one where he faced off against "beasts, scoundrels, princesses, the undead, automatons, and... history's greatest musician". Not only does this actually seem to indicate that PSASBR was a canon event in Kratos' history, but one he views as an OldShame given he firmly states he "would not speak of this".
