Funny / Far Cry 3

Notice: As a moments subpage, all spoilers are left unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

• There is a darkly hilarious Soundtrack Dissonance when driving around in a car with the radio playing. It is entirely possible to plow through a patrol of heavily armed pirates, flip the truck trying to avoid a tree, roll several times, smash the hell out of your ride, and explode, all framed by the sweet sounds of "Ukulele Girl".
• When you meet "the man in white":
  Willis: You have ten seconds to tell me who you are before I remotely detonate the C4 under the table and this whole place explodes like a pop bottle.
  Jason: Jesus!
  Willis: I doubt it. Five seconds.
• Agent Willis is so bizarrely, nonsensically jingoistic it wraps around into pure comedy candy.
  • He also happens to be the one who writes the Database entries. Hence his own entry simply reads "That information is classified. You didn't think it would be that easy, did you?"
  • As another example of a database entry, the one on hang gliders:
  "Hang gliders are for people who look at the airplanes and think, "What's the point of that engine?" Or for people who scream as they're sucked into an engine, "Why did I go hang gliding?!""
  • The one about the ziplines is a good example too, especially this line:
  "One day, one of those is going to lead straight into a volcano, mark my words."
  • The entry about chicken reads "Seriously, you'd have to be from some backwater region like Canada to not know what chicken is." Not only is Far Cry 3 a game produced by a Canadian company, but Willis' voice actor Alain Goulem is Canadian himself.
• Some of the unexpected reactions from the enemy AI: for example, it's not unusual for an animal as small as a dog to aggro a Molotov enemy who then proceeds to throw a bottle and set half the outpost on fire.
• In conjunction with the similar entry in the CMOA, the juxtaposition of rocking out to this while marijuana plants go up in flame and sniping/blasting/torching the guards is darkly amusing. Especially when Jason starts getting dopey from the fumes...
• Despite the fact that Jason molds from a know-nothing youth into a bloodthirsty warrior unafraid to face down his enemies in bloody combat, it's utterly hilarious that skinning animals still gets squicked out responses of "Ewww!", "Ugggh....", and "Fuuuck....." as he shoves bloody pieces into his backpack no matter how far along he's come.
• Sam's response after Jason successfully infiltrated the mercenaries is hilarious:
  Sam: Now you can walk among the privateers! But do not let them observe you doing suspicious things, like...killing, strangling, bombing, electrocuting. Bluff them, Jason!
  • "America, Fuck Ja!"
    • This exchange at the start of "Defusing The Situation."
  Sam: (hushed) You ready?
  (Beat)
  Sam: (Jumps up, pumping his fists into the air) BLITZ-KRIIIIIEEEGGG!!! (runs around the corner)
  Jason: Seriously?
• Near the end, when Riley is trying to fly the helicopter while Jason is shooting:
  Riley: I can't do this! We're so gonna die!
  Jason: Use the Force!
  • And later:
    Jason: (blows up a boat) I sunk your battleship!
• Michael Mando and Christopher Mintz-Plasse made a series of videos showing Vaas torturing Christopher on the beach. The entire series is some of the most hilarious Vaas content you'll find, especially when he uses the firecrackers, freaks out when he thinks Chris may have died, and starts thinking of ways to revive him like a surgeon in a bad medical drama. Also bear in mind that those things he asks for are what he had been torturing Chris with earlier.
  Vaas: Carlos! Get some water! Bring the batteries! The spiders! Everything!
  • Vaas on hygiene. (Dental hygiene, specifically. Remember to floss, kids!)
  • Vaas on snorkelling. (As well as the fine art of humor, and why Rook is a holiday destination for your whole family.)
  • Vaas on spiders. (As well as improvised percussion and little white lies.)
  • Vaas on protein. (Features Chris's friend Barry in an unforgettable cameo.)
  • Vaas on power regeneration. (Wherein both Christopher and Vaas receive terrible shocks in different ways.)
  • Vaas on pyrotechnics. (Vaas + firecrackers + metal bucket = a combination you should probably steer clear of.)
  • Vaas on vitamins. (As well as his fling with Chris's mother.)
  • The full Far Cry Experience short has its moments, too, albeit often quite a bit darker in tone.
  Vaas: Bambi! I'm sorry I shot your mamma, Bambi! BAMBI!
  • When Vaas finds out Christopher's still alive, he cheerfully celebrates by urinating all over Mr. Mintz-Plasse's head. What a charmer.
  • You can find poor, poor Christopher in the game itself, still buried up to his chin in sand even long after Vaas is dead.
• Predatory animals are hostile to all humans. Nothing quite as hilarious as watching a pirate patrol shooting at you suddenly get torn apart by a single hungry tiger.
  • Or a flock of cassowaries.
• Sure, it's Black Comedy, but Buck's first conversation with Jason.
  Buck: Keith? Is that his name, Keith? See, he told me his name was (imitates trying to scream through a gag).
  • Hell, Buck in general is pretty amusing. He's consistently funny enough to be likeable if you forget that he's raping one of your friends while you're off fetching his knife.
  • This line, after Jason is told to meet Buck:
    Jason: His name is Buck, and he likes to fu...
  • Right after Jason recovers the first piece of his compass:
    Buck: Oi, Jase! Rise and shine. C'mon. I know the woods are lovely, dark and deep, mate... but get the fuck up! C'mon!
  • When he catches up to Jason on top of a cliff after he's just escaped a treasure cave:
    Jason: How do you keep finding me?
    Buck: Well, you are leaving a trail of human breadcrumbs, mate. Helen fucking Keller could have followed you!
• Random pirate chatter can lead to this.
  Pirate: I hate this fucking heat. Somebody just shoot me!
  Jason: (shoots him)
  • Or:
    Pirate: God... this... heat...
    Jason: (FLAMETHROWER!)
  • Or:
    Pirate: Hey... If you could choose, how would you like to die?
    Pirate: In a really big fucking explosion.
    Jason: (C4 or grenades them)
• Every once in awhile, you'll run across a pirate complaining about how much it burns when he urinates. It breaks up the monotony of stabbing their friends with a machete without any of them realizing it.
• Some of the Story Quest-givers you meet are very, uh, forthright.
  Quest-giver: You look like a man who wants to shoot something, but has nothing to shoot!
  Jason: ...That has got to be the strangest "hello" I've ever heard.
• The Car Chase Shoot-Out after Jason and Liza escape from the burning hotel has a few moments.
  Jason: Drive faster!
  Liza: I'm offroad! I can't go any faster!
  Jason: Says who? The cops?!
  • And:
    Liza: What's going on back there?
    Jason: Traffic Control.
  • Liza pointing out that the pirates are shooting at them. The moment Jason starts shooting back at them after she says this, she screams at Jason asking him what he is doing.
• Vaas' first words.
  Vaas: You boys think you're crazy, huh? Jumping out of airplanes... flying like birds? (chuckles) That is crazy! I like this phone. This is a nice fucking phone.
  • His whole introduction is great.
  Vass: YOU FUCKING DEAF? RUN FORREST, RUN! (proceeds to start shooting at you)
• The "Letters of the Lost" are letters that were written by members of the Japanese army during WWII. They usually show how they lost their heads (it's implied the island's influence slowly drove them crazy) specially Private Tadao, who sabotaged the radios of the island to stop anyone from knowing what happened to their families. All that goes out the window when you find Hurk's letters. These tell the story of how he trained a gray macaque monkey (that he named Gilbert) to throw grenades and that he's a menace but he gets sidetracked talking about a cheerleader of his school that turned into a pornstar, how Gilbert is not "throw crap at you"-evil but rather "rub crap in your face"-evil and lampshading that there are dozens of Japanese letters on the island.
• One of the Shop Fodder items is a "Photo of a Dwarf". Description: "A picture of a naked dwarf, laughing and pointing at the camera. And he's not using his fingers." It's worth only $1.
• Hoyt is considerably less whimsical than Vaas, but he has disturbingly funny moments.
  • The first time he interacts with Jason face-to-face and offers him a Cohiba cigar:
  Jason: I don't really smoke...
  Hoyt: Oh, you're concerned about cancer? That's goose shit. Cancer won't be what kills you. ^note  Hoyt's actually correct. What kills him is not cancer, but Jason sticking knifes in him, and what kills Jason, if he picks the Bad Ending, is Citra sticking a knife in him
  • Right before he blows up the boat full of hostages, Hoyt cheerfully plays a recording of Ride of the Valkyries, and hammily hums and waves his hands to the music. He then adds, "See, I prefer the European recordings. The brass sections in American orchestras are too bombastic."
  • At the start of their final fight, after Hoyt lopped off Jason's left ring finger:
    Hoyt: Aw, Jason, now we'll never be married!
• The Vaas live action trailer, mostly because it brings up the implication that Vaas himself was brought out from a psychiatric ward so he could do voice work for a fictionalized version of himself.
