Skating is only half the fun in this game.

Tony Hawk's Underground

  • When dealing with a cop at the train station in New Jersey, the player character drops what is possibly the most devastating insult in video game history.
"What's your problem, Bacon Bits? Wake up on the wrong side of your mother this morning?"
  • You then have to grind on a roundabout curb while he chases you until he passes out sick.
  • The cop himself says his main job at the train station is keeping kids from writing "I am the king of no pants" on the phone kiosks.
  • Helping Ollie the Bum get his house (a cardboard box) back to him for a train ticket and half of his candy bar. When the player asks about a horrible smell in the air, Ollie laughs and says his bathroom blew away, too!
  • Eric Sparrow delivers a burn of his own to the cop that pulled him over for an "offensive" bumper sticker.
"Aren't you white meat supposed to be fighting real crime? Like figuring out where the last sprinkled donut is?"
  • Stacy Peralta, no matter what scene he is in, is always doing yoga.
Tony Hawk: Is he still into yoga? (Player Character nods) That's one weird dude. But as cool as they come.
  • There's a jewelry store in Hawaii cleverly titled "The Family Jewels."
  • Behind the strip club in Tampa is a police officer doing a suggestive dance behind a goat.
  • The fake lawn ducks in the New Jersey level make little quacks when you run into them.
  • "Listen, I gotta finish this meal before I go out to eat..."
  • The bird statue in Vancouver has glasses and a mustache.
  • In the same level, Robson Square (Where the above statue is located) is renamed to Nobson Square.
  • One of the missions in Hawaii requires you to handplant a vending machine so a candy bar gets launched into the pool, allowing you to use it as a bowl after it's drained for decontamination.
  • The limousine in the Vancouver level has a license plate that reads "Limo-Zeen."
  • One of the out-of-bounds messages you get if you fall in the chimney in Moscow is "BURNINATED!"
  • If you beat the game a second time, you get to skip out on the final skate-off with Eric when your character swipes the tape out of his hand and elbows him hard across the face. In a single sweep of the arm.
  • The song "Imaginary Places" by Busdriver is Word-Salad Humor in rap form.
Kids! If you really wanna piss off your parents, buy real estate in an imaginary place!

Tony Hawk's Underground 2

  • Everything, everything about Pauly "Wheels of Fury" Ryan, a ten-year-old in a motorized wheelchair and bodycast. When your character calls Bam out for choosing him over you, he rams you right in the knee and flips you the bird.
"You got something to say to me?! BRING IT ON, BITCH!!"
  • Pauly dragging a port-o-potty through Boston's streets at high speed, whipping it into the ocean along with the poor bastard trapped inside it.
  • The inside of the bank in Boston has its hall lined with portraits of politicians in clown makeup.
  • Go into the library in Boston and the music will stop with a loud "shush!" One of the posters inside says "reading cures insomnia."
  • The Captain Ersatz of the viral "Star Wars Kid" in one of the hotel rooms.
  • Bob Burnquist getting cut from the team after losing Russian roulette to a tennis ball launcher. It hits him where it hurts.
  • Bam letting a live bull into Phil Margera's hotel room after snapping a rubber band in its ghoulies.
  • The police officers in Berlin have hilarious German accents.
    "Mein hat is on FIYAH!!"
  • Nigel Beaverhausen is a one-man Goldfish Poop Gang for Team Bam and Team Hawk. After making his Totally Radical offer to be the writer, producer and director of a film based on the World Destruction Tour to Bam Margera, the scene cuts to a photo of him duct-taped to the back of a truck with his pants pulled down.
  • Right after he's cut from the team, Eric Sparrow is begging the others to spare him from being stranded in Australia, too busy to notice Nigel Beaverhausen falling onto him ass-first after being given a wedgie with a crane. The news reports during the credits say that he had to have his head surgically removed from Nigel's butt.
  • Nigel Beaverhausen is finally given the tape he was promised. Unfortunately, it's just footage of a very constipated Phil Margera stuck on the toilet. Nigel's too shocked for words and Tony Hawk concludes the broadcast by pantsing him in front of international television.
  • At the end of the credits, the newscaster announces that Tony Hawk and Bam Margera have been banned from Boston, Thailand, Berlin, Australia, Barcelona, New Orleans and Skatopia. Hawk's response is "hey, good call."
