Funny / Dragon Quest IV

• Torneko Taloon! The mighty Lethal Joke Character!
  • His manner of introduction in Chapter 3, from a meta viewpoint. After getting a glimpse at playing through some of the adventures of other characters in the world, from a lone knight searching for the whereabouts of kidnapped children, to a Rebellious Princess wishing to take part in a fighting tournament, Torneko starts his adventure off by... working part-time at a weapons shop selling items to customers. And then going back to home to his wife and child, resting for the next day. Essentially speaking, you're finally getting a glimpse at the every-day life of an NPC at an items shop.
  • Also, there are a few times in the DS version when he appraises female clothing, like the Magical Skirt, that brings out a few laughs. The way he appraises the Dream Blade and pretends to fall asleep is priceless!
  • Asking him to appraise horse manure will, unsurprisingly, annoy the crap out of him.
    Torneko: Fer the love o' - What are y'at, stickin' that in me face!? 'Tis about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Now get up the yard with it!
• When you talk to a minidemon in Pharos Beacon, he says, in Fang Thpeak, that Torneko has escaped, and then tries to go after him... by casting Zoom/Return instead of Evac/Outside, knocking himself unconscious by a bump to his head!
• On your quest for the Feverfew Seed, you enter a dungeon and run into Alena and her party of hired muscle, standing in front of a locked door. Alena has the key... but she takes a few steps back and just kicks it in anyway, apparently because she felt like it.
