History Funny / AHatInTime

* After completing "Contractual Obligations", in subsequent acts you can find the Snatcher inside the tree at the beginning of the level, reading a book literally titled "[[CrossesTheLineTwice How to Kill Kids]]".

!!Meta
* In [=JellyElite=]'s [[https://youtu.be/-RcZ8OsyUp8 video]] on the game, he encounters "The Tale of Queen Vanessa", and notes that it's likely his main man (the Snatcher's) backstory, and says [[TemptingFate he must have been a proper joker]]. Cut to the [[WhamShot shot of the prince in shackles]], with his only remark being a horrified "Jesus fucking Christ".
* In the trailer for Nyakuza Metro, after showing off the new level, they show Hat Kid and Bow Kid… until another Hat Kid shows up. A few seconds later, several more Hat Kids and Bow Kids pile out of nowhere and goof around, advertising the Online Party feature.
** Later in the trailer, we see a huge mob of kids swarming Snatcher with packages in Mail Delivery Service. Multiple fans have noted how [[ChildHater torturous this must be for him]].
** Fans also joke about the OhCrap reaction Mustache Girl must have when fifty Hat Kids storm into her castle. Or all the bosses with all their boss arenas.
* Think all that's actual chaos? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0M28IbhAtY This video]] by WebVideo/RTGame raises you one. With frequent soft-locks and complete chaos as scenes glitch out, people get smacked, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking everyone forms queues to get keys,]] it clearly demonstrates what madness comes from a player cap of 50.
-->'''Goofy Mafia:''' ''MAFIA IS BEING INVADED BY ALIENS!!!''
** When [=RT=] made it to the "corpse" in "Murder on the Owl Express", the dramatic shot was accompanied by [[CrossesTheLineTwice four other Hat Kids]] [[SkewedPriorities dancing by his corpse]].
--->'''[=RTGame=]:''' [[EvenEvilHasStandards No, you can't just be dancin' over his corpse!]]

** One of the patrons is a Mafia member on the ship who will sometimes [[JerkAss trip you]]. When you deliver food to him, ''it's thrown in his face''.

* After DJ Grooves enters his studio with the penguins in tow, the Conductor boards up the door and bursts into maniacal laughter about their predicament... only to realize that [[DidntThinkThisThrough trapping them in their studio will force them to work harder]].

** It's possible to bounce off of the knife in the victim's back. [[CrossesTheLineTwice It makes squeaky toy noises when you do so.]]

* When gathering the broken Time Piece in the first mission, one of the tasks you get is helping a seal who got hurt, who asks to be taken to the captain. When you do he tells you that he's not a doctor and to basically just kiss it better yourself. And yes, you actually have to kiss the seal to get the Time Piece fragment.
--> ''"Thank you fow kissing my ouchie, miss!"''

* The Death Wish level [[DualBoss "Killing Two Birds"]] does highlight that, if nothing else, DJ Grooves is a more graceful fighter than The Conductor is. When it doesn't come to [[KnifeNut knives]], saw blades and indirect attacks like the [[CollapsingCeilingBoss collapsing ceiling debris]]. While Grooves jumps at you while flailing his mic and lands on his knee, Conductor does a body slam and [[FacePlant lands on his face]]. They land the same way when they dive kick from the corner and drop with the disco ball, in addition, that Conductor seems to be spinning around uncontrollably on it. When they run around in the time bomb phase to try and waste Hat Kid's time Grooves coolly skates around while the Conductor runs around flailing his wings(?) as if ''he's'' the one with the time bomb on his back. And despite this, ''[[StaticRoleExchangeableCharacter they still fight functionally the same.]]''

* The cutscene preceding the final battle really picking up the pace where everyone comes in to encourage you plays out less like a standard YouAreNotAlone and more like a parody with all the present characters ''very'' spitefully telling Mustache Girl to "Get lost!" in an incredibly aggressive fashion.

* The computer in the lobby has a Blue Screen of Death saying [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn_ipANoLeI&t=1560s "Oopsie woopsie"]].

!!Mods
* One mod for the game created a hat that [[http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1168604805 isn't a hat]]. Cue a number of joking comments about how ''[[FelonyMisdemeanor awful]]'' such a mod is. The mod's picture itself, featuring a black and white image of a face-down Hat Kid without her hat has a number of the more memorable quotes on it.
** Then there's the description for this non-hat hat:
--->'''Description:''' This mod adds a non-hat hat. Un-wear your hat today, with this fancy new un-hat made with state-of-the-art thin air.
*** One of the updates to the mod runs as thus:
---->'''Update Description:''' You can now reclaim your nothing when it is stolen.
** The "hat"'s normal ability simply makes the player fall over. Repeatedly mashing the ability button causes the player to float slightly.
* A gag dub language pack of the game's missions and Death Wish missions exists as [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1716230575&searchtext= "Better Mission Names (And other things)"]]. Much of the usually formal titles and text the game uses is replaced with something that's either [[MemeticMutation a clever refrence to a meme]], or something just plain ridiculous.
** A similar concept with a different theme is [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1796496745&searchtext= "An OwO in time"]], which changes almost every single time in the game into [[TastesLikeDiabetes overly cutesy furry exo-speak.]]
%%There's also [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1768734782&searchtext= "Some Goofy Language Mod"]], but since the person who made the most recent edit made that, it's up to you if it's worth being included in this page.

--> The closet! [[LimitedWardrobe You only wear one outfit]], so there's plenty of room for skeletons.
--> The microwave! You use it to punish food that's been bad.
* Numerous details around the ship indicate that Hat Kid isn't exactly neat and tidy. Her fridge is full of moldy and spoiled food, her washing machine and dryer are just stuffed in the basement and don't seem to see much use, and the mail room has completely empty "In" and "Out" boxes... because the letters are all piled on the floor.

--> '''Mafia:''' This awkward for Mafia! Mafia not sure what to do.

* In ''Heating Up Mafia Town'' (an Act where Mafia Town is filled with lava instead of water) you can immediately spot two Mafia goons [[TheEndIsNigh holding plaques saying "Oh no!" and "Yikes!"]].

-->It strikes you that this might be the gaudiest, most excessive thing you've ever seen. It doesn't look like there's an easy way to take it with you, either. Shame.

-->Local bird misses the only train in existence, [[JerkAss Conductor spotted laughing]].

-->Nothing on this whiteboard makes any sense to you. In fact, it mostly just looks like ramblings of someone very close to running out of movie ideas. There are no less than seven instances of the word 'reboot'.

-->These posters came out pretty great! Though, it occurs to you you never gave them permission to use your image in marketing. Actually, you don't recall signing a contract for anything here. Or even giving them any of your details.\\

-->'''DJ Grooves:''' Now tell us, darlin', what kind of condiment do you like on your tuna sandwiches?
-->'''Hat Kid:''' PECK
-->''*RecordScratch*''
-->'''DJ Grooves:''' ...'''[[OhCrap DARLING!]]''' I-I mean... fellow viewers! Look at the mouth on this young girl. She's really something! [-[[TwoFacedAside Now shoo, get out of this endorsement as soon as you can before the old penguins watching TV notice what just happened!]]-]

-->Contract: Get Out
-->Get Out
-->Just Get Out
-->''Two images of the Snatcher holding signs saying 'Get Out'.''
--> The following parts of the forest will be available: None of it. Get out.
--> Please take your junk and leave.

-->'''Snatcher:''' Death is inevitable, your time is valuable? Who labeled this? I thought these hats were made for kids!

* One of the conversations between cats you can hear has one o& them lamenting that he’s going to miss his train again. The resulting conversation ends up going through a list of the colored stations he’s going to have to go through to get to work, culminating in a list that’s so long that all he can say is a frustrated “I’m going to miss my train again”.

* The Snatcher's final contract bluntly telling Hat Kid to just GetOut, as well as Hat Kid's response to it [[https://i.imgur.com/ziCXFMp.jpg cheerfully scribbling over the paper]] so that the contract is welcoming her instead. She even takes the time to replace The Snatcher's menacing scowl with a smiley face. The Snatcher is incredulous, but he already stamped the contract, giving Hat Kid the binding last word.

* In following with the game's light BlackComedy, during the final boss fight your allies will agree to punch each other so hard they explode, essentially killing each other, so that they'll [[ItemDropMechanic drop the health-healing pons]] to help Hat Kid. The way they brush it off (if Hat Kid wins, she'll just reset the timeline and they'll be okay) makes it sound like they're just preparing to rip off a band-aid.

* When you visit the nursery, you may notice that the baby corral that the Conductor's grandkids are in has ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice barbed wire on top of it]]''. Yet the little peck necks STILL manage to escape somehow.

-->'''Snatcher:''' WHAT!? YOU'RE NOT DEAD! This book[[note]]Titled "How to Kill Kids"[[/note]] was useless! I should sue...

* The Death Wish level [[DualBoss "Killing Two Birds"]] does highlight that, if nothing else, DJ Grooves is a more graceful fighter than The Conductor is. When it doesn't come to [[KnifeNut knives]], saw blades and indirect attacks like the [[CollapsingCeilingBoss collapsing ceiling debris. While Grooves jumps at you while flailing his mic and lands on his knee, Conductor does a body slam and]] [[FacePlant lands on his face]]. They land the same way when they dive kick from the corner and drop with the disco ball, in addition, that Conductor seems to be spinning around uncontrollably on it.

And despite this, ''[[StaticRoleExchangeableCharacter they still fight functionally the same.]]''

* In Green Clean Station, there's a manhole hidden away from the regular areas that seems oddly out of place. Interacting with it reveals a inscription: [[VideoGame/{{Yakuza}} Kiwami means extreme. Soon afterwards, a Underling wearing Goro Majima's eyepatch pops out, referencing the Kiwami remake's infamous Majima Everywhere system.]]
** Right near said manhole is a wooden cage with an egg in a nest. Interacting with it plays the seal's aforementioned "Egg." line

* Oh God, the game's ending. After being caught stealing back her Time Pieces from the Empress' vault, Hat Kid is chased all over town by both her and her cronies, eventually being cornered by the Empress in an elevator-- at which point the police (one of whom is actually one of her cronies in disguise, who somehow missed the memo about Hat Kid having a bounty on her head) show up, leading her to bolt off without a proper fight. ''[[{{Pun}} It's a literal cop-out ending.]]''

%%There's also "Some Goofy Language Mod" [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1768734782&searchtext=], but since the person who made the most recent edit made that, it's up to you if it's worth being included in this page.

--->'''[=RTGame=]''': [[EvenEvilHasStandards No, you can't just be dancin' over his corpse!]]

* There's a badge that allows you to mimic the memetic Peace and Tranquility screen whenever you dance, doubling as SweetDreamsFuel because of how relaxed the "Peace and Tranquility" screen is.

* Hat Kid has what can only be described as a Roomba cleaning the carpet in the main room of her ship. You can run into it to kick it, or jump on top to ride it and make it struggle with the extra weight.

* If you build the UFO relic, Hat Kid (being an alien herself) is apparently offended by the concept, being baffled by the design of the spaceship and the fact that they're abducting cows. She even threatens within the relic description to sue.

* A ''very'' well hidden easter egg in the spaceship: by using the camera to spy inside Hat Kid's toy box you can find a note labelled "Science Stuff". It measures the intelligence of people Hat Kid comes across and among them are the Mafia (Dumb), Seagull (Smart), Little Girl (Quite possibly Mustache Girl - Dumb), Owls (Smart) and ''Kickstarter Backers'' (Smartest).
* If you check the blueprints of Hat Kid's spaceship in her bedroom with the camera you can notice the glass from the ship's bridge is resistant to comets, but weak to ''fists''.

* The Mafia goons in general look funny -- wearing chef aprons over blue pinstriped suits and talking in a bizarre accent. Certain Mafia goons will start up a game of patty-cake with Hat Kid... only to [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom sucker-punch her]].

* In ''Heating Up Mafia Town'' (an Act where Mafia Town is filled with lava instead of water) you can immediately spot two Mafia goons holding plaques saying "Oh no!" and "Yikes!".

* The "Egg" seal from the Arctic Cruise world is [[https://clips.twitch.tv/EmpathicAwkwardCrowNerfRedBlaster now a sticker/emote]].

** Right near said manhole is a wooden cage with an egg in a nest. Interacting with it plays the "Egg." sound clip.
