Funny / Um Jammer Lammy

Go To

  • In the Stage 7 cutscene, Lammy goes through a number of flashbacks as she rushes to the MilkCan concert. One of them involves Katy trying on different costumes and asking for Lammy and Ma-San's opinions on each one. Lammy is too busy working with electrical equipment, and Ma-San is reading a book and doesn't care about what Katy wears. Lammy then plugs in the electrical cord, electrocutes herself, and the electrical surge results in her hairstyle turning into an afro, which Katy and Ma-San really like.
    Katy: Lammy, that's it!
  • After the flashback sequence in Stage 7, Lammy's rushing to the stage before showtime, just barely making it alongside her bandmates, apologizing simultaneously about getting caught up in a lot of mess, with Katy wearing similar clothing to Lammy (in the US version). It makes you wonder if Katy and Ma-San got into the same nonsense Lammy did.
  • In PaRappa's story mode, Thursday involves PaRappa and P.J. going to a music store to buy a guitar. Both became enamored with a wood block instrument instead (which P.J. believes is "rock n' roll"), to the point where they sculpt a brand new guitar into another wood block.
  • Another from PaRappa's side story. He, PJ, and Sunny are helping with Milkcan's performance in various ways. Sunny's helping to design costumes and shows one to PaRappa. He then requests to 'see it from the side...'
  • A third one from PaRappa's side-story, in Fright Flight, you get this nice little subversion of the typical call and response format of the game:
    Fussenpepper: I'll miss my train.
    PaRappa: You'll miss your train.
    Fussenpepper: I miss my brain.
    PaRappa: May I help you?
  • In Lammy vs PaRappa battle mode of Fright Flight, if Lammy wins, PaRappa dejectedly whines like a puppy dog. It's as cute as it is hilarious.
  • The effects that Lammy can use to alter the sounds of her guitar can't be used when playing as PaRappa. If you force it in with a cheat, PaRappa can go from sounding like a munchkin to sounding like the devil.
  • The Joe Chin laptop computer. It's grand! It's big! It's huge! It's humongous! In fact, it's so big that it is larger than the average person - and way too heavy to be carried as a result.
  • The fact that all it takes for Lammy to begin a song is to hear the word "casino", which reminds her of Chop Chop Master Onion's "Dojo, casino, it's all in the mind" mantra and leads her to imagine another thing as a guitar. These range from a hose and a steering wheel to a chainsaw, and most bizarrely, a baby.
  • The circumstances of hearing or seeing "casino" grow more ridiculous until we get to Lammy hearing "Casino in My Hair" in Paul Chuck's store - a country song with nonsensical lyrics that seemingly only exists to give Lammy an incentive to get her going once again.
  • In the JP/PAL version, when Lammy goes to Hell, she concludes that if she's dead, "then the game's over! What a stupid game!". Roll the credits... except that the game isn't really over, as Jack Smash, mistaking her for Rammy, retrieves her and tears up the credits.
  • Another case of Bait-and-Switch: Lammy pleads with Paul Chuck that she will do anything to get a new guitar. Chuck responds "Anything?" and pulls out a chainsaw; one may think he's going to kill Lammy (or at least do something to her), but in reality he's just prepping it for woodwork so the two can make Lammy's new guitar.
  • Captain Fussenpepper's Split Personality means that we can go from him fiercely shouting militaristic orders to saying stuff like "Did I eat my drink?/I thought milk was pink!".
  • One of Chop Chop Master Onion's lines in the first stage is telling Lammy to shut up - while it's foreshadowing for Stage 3 where you have to put a bunny baby to sleep, it's still silly both in and out of context.
