Funny / Fear & Hunger

Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

Despite the harrowing, horrifying nature of Fear & Hunger, there are a few moments within the game that can bring some Black Comedy-tinted moments of levity.

---

• The hounds encountered at the start of the game are infamously dangerous, but a single thrown stick makes them immediately lose focus.
• The Human Hydra is a horrifying amalgamation of human bodies that cannibalises other humans, with a particular fondness for children. It is also a Big Bad Wannabe that can't actually bring any harm to your party unless you specifically help it to do so, resorting to spouting profanity at you whenever you try to attack it. In an accidental bit of extra humor, initiating combat with it (Which involves tearing a head off of it) results in a tiny fragment of a scream that gets cut off by the the battle starting, which can be highly amusing for those who enjoy "Perfectly Cut Scream" memes.
• Nas'hrah is extremely self-aware about how evil he is, and constantly straddles the line between being a terrifying monster or Laughably Evil. On the one hand, he's committed countless atrocities and makes some very unsavoury remarks sometimes, but his extremely bombastic nature and utter hamminess gives him a lot of fans as well.
  • He gets very agitated if you use Pheremones on him, being very displeased about the fact he's being made into a punching bag. He mercifully doesn't hold a grudge about this outside of battle, as his immortality makes him extremely suited for the role.
  • Attempting to enter a Marriage with Nas'hrah has him seemingly initially reciprocate, before he suddenly yells that nothing gets him going like burnt meat, after which he immediately and fatally immolates the player character.
  • Also, if you attempt to Sacrifice him at the Ritual Circle, he beats you to the punch by sacrificing you to a fire deity, with similar results to the above.
  • If you manage to bring Nas'hrah to the fight with Gro-goroth, the former begins an all-caps screaming tirade at the god before him, telling him how he's going to destroy him. The latter doesn't even let him finish before burning him to a crisp.
  • You can have your party members pull out Blue Sin in your stead, meaning you can ask Nas'hrah to pull out the sword. He...politely points out the issue with this request.
    Nas'hrah: Uh huh, sure thing. What do you suggest I use to pull the sword? THE BLOODY TENDRIL HANGING FROM WHERE MY NECK ONCE WAS!? I've burned my court jesters alive for worse jokes.
    • Even better is one of the dialogue options you have in response to this
      Player: You've had court jesters?
      Nas'hrah: GODDAMN SURELY I'VE HAD COURT JESTERS! I'M LOOKING AT MY WORST ONE RIGHT NOW!
• Later in the game, you can find the corpse of a giant, and if interacted with, you can attempt to use Necromancy on it if you have the spell. It does not work as intended.
• The Cave Spider encounter. If someone in your party has the Mastery Over Insects skill, you can talk to it - the spider will boast about this being a great battle, and how dare you interrupt to chat. If you try to dissuade it from fighting, it will be offended that you think it's an insect. You can win by stepping on it.
• You can completely trivialise the fight with Francois by convincing him that he is a puppet and refusing to disclose who the "puppeteer" truly is. He spends multiple turns petulantly demanding that you tell him who you think is controlling him, even while you mercilessly wail on him.
• The Void, for the most part, is not funny. Your party is scattered around the map, and you have some rather dour conversations when you find them. Players however, were amused to find that if you had the Dark Priest in your party, you can find him just hiding in a hole and it looks very, very silly.
  • It loops back around to serious though, when you realize that jumping down a hole like that is how you hide from the Greater Blight.
• One of the first mods to provide censorship for the game was done with a rather amusing method: Replacing all offending materials with Pinecone Pigs. This results in a lot of strange-yet-funny quirks, such as them confronting you in combat alongside guards, covering the Cavemother’s modesty, one being somehow milkable for some edible mucus, or taking the place of the Bunnymasks with their functionality intact.
• Dungeon Nights. A secret game mode that flips the entire grim and oppressive atmosphere of the game on its head by turning it into a goofy Dating Sim.
