History Funny / DeadRising2

* Chuck and Frank sneak into a security room with one single visible guard. Chuck looks at Frank, whispers, "There's just one guy," and sneaks into the room... only to stand upright, loudly announce his presence and try to intimidate the guard to keep quiet, all while the alerted guard's partner throws him a rifle and steps in with his own, giving the poor guy an OhCrap reaction. But what sells the scene is Frank's reaction as he watches the poorly thought-out plan unfold - as the guards begin shooting, Chuck barely dodges by diving into the next toom, while Frank had already nervously moonwalked out.

* During one of the cutscenes with Bibi, Chuck/Frank tries to back out of doing her favors, when he gets some advice from her (tied up) audience,

* You find two survivors in Uranus Zone who are both wannabe-comedians trading really terrible jokes at each other. You have to give a trophy to one of them in order for them to follow you to the safe zone, much to Frank's disbelief and annoyance. The one who you don't give the trophy to will proceed to loudly cry over and over again for the entire trip.

-->[[spoiler:*after [[LethallyStupid sawing an unfortunate woman in half]]*]]

** At least Chuck got actual movies to watch. Frank only gets one feature, a one hour commercial for a time share company. Watching Frank try to stay awake during the DREADFULLY BORING presentation is hilarious, and as an added bonus, watching the entire cutscene nets you [[spoiler:the Psychopath hairstyle.]]

* In the final battle with [[spoiler:Tyrone King,]] Chuck and him will have the following exchange:
-->'''[[spoiler:TK]]''': You gotta risk it all, if you're ever, really, gonna...

-->'''[[spoiler:TK]]''': You gotta risk it all, if you're ever, really, gonna...
-->'''Frank''': ''(throws him off the railing and to his death)'' [[{{Metaphorgotten}} FALL TO YOUR DEATH!?]]

* When giving [[spoiler:[[ZombieInfectee Tyrone King]]]] Zombrex, Chuck responds to [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl his yelp of pain]] with "[[MyGrandmaCanDoBetterThanYou My daughter takes this better than you.]]"
** And when he [[UngratefulBastard tries to snark back with]] "[[spoiler:[[PapaWolf You raised her right, Chuckie.]] [[AndYourLittleDogToo It's a real shame she has to die...]]]]", [[TalkToTheFist Chuck socks him in the face]].

--> '''Chuck''': "Your beard is stupid!"

* In the Yucatan Casino, there's a bonfire with a prompt marked "Money to Burn". Activating the prompt has you throw $100 dollars into the fire and ups the price to do it again. This can be repeated with an ever climbing price tag for a measly "Pyromaniac" bonus and a sliver of PP each time. But burning cash up to and including the $100,000 denomination nets you the illustrious [[spoiler:"Stupidity Bonus"! At least it's worth a bunch of PP. And lampshaded by Frank.]]

** And then there's his death scene. [[spoiler: He tries to go for one of his ice bombs atop his truck, but can't reach them due to how short he is. He knocks one onto him and freezes himself. As he freezes and utters his LastWords, Frank completely unflinchingly walks up to the statue and nonchalantly pushes it over with his foot and [[LiterallyShatteredLives shatters]] [[IceBreaker it]], walking away without even changing his facial expression]].

* ''Off The Record'' has this lovely gem after [[spoiler:Psycho!Stacey]] gets crushed:

* Carl Schliff's LargeHam tendencies when during his introduction cutscene and subsequent boss fight.

* Frank wearing a wrestler's outfit in the completely different version of Terror Is Reality in the trailer.
** Wait, it gets better; after you're done playing [=TiR=], you can wear it. FOR THE REST OF THE GAME. There's something hilarious running around killing zombies in a wrestling outfit, a viking helmet and yellow sneakers.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWf7uxjJ0DY opening cutscene]] for Off The Record's sandbox mode.
-->'''Helicopter Pilot:''' So, Frank West; you here to get your next big scoop?
-->'''Frank:''' No way, pal! I'm not here for work. This... ''[[IncomingHam is my VACATION!]]''
-->''Frank jumps out of the helicopter towards a horde of zombies below with a cheerful smile on his face, the screen freezes while in mid-air like in action movies while incredibly cheesy music plays in the background.''

* Some Chuck's lines in ''Case West'' after destroying Phenotrans security cameras can be this. Notable ones include "Mind your own damn business!" and "It's rude to stare!"
* ''Off The Record'' has this lovely gem after [[spoiler:Psycho!Stacey]] gets crushed:
-->'''Frank:''' [[BondOneLiner I always thought you had a crush on me.]] Too bad I don't dig [[SquashedFlat flat chicks]].

* The entirety of the E3 2011 Uranus Zone trailer for Off the Record.
* The entire boss battle with Evan, which is a complete 180 in mood from the battle with Adam in the original Dead Rising.
** Especially, ''especially'' this line:
--->'''Frank:''' I don't think you're going to sell a lot of ice cream right now. And I am ''not'' getting into your car.
** This line from Frank when Evan finds out his identity:
--->'''Frank:''' [[HereWeGoAgain Oh, this]] [[ThisIsGonnaSuck never goes well.]]
*** The sheer sight of the [[BrickJoke autographed Frank picture]] suddenly flying up, pausing right in front of Frank for a whole ''three seconds'' and Frank never reacting to it is hilarious.
*** All the more amusing if Frank is wearing headwear that hides his face, like a Servbot helmet. How can Evan recognize him if he can't see his face? Maybe Frank West is just a big ol' trigger for him...
** There's also something hilarious about Evan running around after he loses his stilts.
** After this, Evan has a grapple attack where he runs up Frank and starts pounding on his face. Wiggling the left stick (or mouse) to get him off you will have Frank push him off and punt him across the sky like a football.
** And then there's his death scene. [[spoiler: He tries to go for one of his ice bombs atop his truck, but can't reach them due to how short he is. He knocks one onto him and freezes himself. As he freezes and utters his LastWords, Frank completely unflinchingly walks up to the statue and nonchalantly pushes it over with his foot and [[LiterallyShatteredLives shatters]] [[IceBreaker it]], walking away without even changing his facial expression]].
-->'''Frank:''' "[[BondOneLiner That guy kinda cracked me up]]."

* Frank's Zombie Walk move he can learn.
--> (Completely nonchalant) "Brains."

--->'''Frank:''' [[HereWeGoAgain Oh, this never goes well.]]

* The mad scientist's hair resembles [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Dr. Wily's]] hair style a lot.

!!''Dead Rising 2: Case West

* During the [[spoiler:Chuck Greene]] boss fight in ''Off the Record'', Frank can yell a number of things. The context, by the way, is [[spoiler:Frank having started the fight by accidentally grabbing the doll Chuck uses to replace his dead daughter.]]

* In ''Off the Record'', one of the skill moves that Frank can learn as he levels up is the Snapshot. With this move, he grabs the nearest zombie in front of him and inexplicably takes a selfie with it. Yep. What helps is that it nets a decent chunk of PP in the "Outtake" category.
* In ''Case West'', Frank [[spoiler:inadvertently sets off the intruder alarm which attracts enemies to his and Chuck's position.]] After the fight, he uses old cliche lines to the person on the other end of the radio to try and signal that nothing's wrong. He looks up from his position to look at Chuck, who just shakes his head with the same stony face he usually wears.
* One point in ''Off the Record'', TK forces Frank to fetch him a men's silk thong.

* Among the survivors are four nerds playing ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. Normally, it takes Chuck a while to convince them to come with him. If he has a woman in his party, [[AllMenArePerverts they join immediately]].
* There's another survivor in ''Off the Record'' in the Uranus Zone, where he's surrounded by "[=NPCs=]" (zombies). When Frank rescues him, he's a video gamer who constantly breaks the fourth wall. He also mentions that his hands are for gaming, not fighting. This is true, since if he's given a firearm, he can't handle the recoil and is always knocked back when he shoots.

** This GenreSavvy line from Frank when Evan finds out his identity:

-->'''Frank:''' I always thought you had a crush on me. Too bad I don't dig flat chicks.

-->'''Chuck''': ''(throws him off the railing and to his death)'' [[IronicEcho Win big?]]

-->[[spoiler:*after sawing an unfortunate woman in half*]]
-->'''Reed:''' "Dammit! Not again!"

* The message "Barn Burner" results in you putting out a fire in the doorway of one of the arenas. Once that's done, the woman will actually HIT ON CHUCK, causing him to simply respond with "...". Additionally, speaking to the man to recruit both survivors will reveal that they set the fire to keep the zombies away, but that they [[DidntThinkThisThrough didn't realize how that would trap them in the room]].
