History Funny / FinalFantasyXII

-->'''Vaan''': Yeah, but I never said anything about taking it back from me!

* During Larsa's introduction as 'Lamont', Balthier and Basch appears to be suspicious of his presence in Bhujerba, while Vaan seems to have taken an immediately liking to him and reassures that 'Lamont' will be in good hands during the visit to the mines. Balthier and Basch's exasperation at Vaan's eagerness to help a random stranger at face value is quite amusing to see.
** Dude just casually pat the little brother of '''[[BigBad THE]]''' ''[[BigBad Archadia-appointed Consul to Dalmasca]]'' like they were friends.

** What really sells the above is that despite being explained to that Basch is not to be revealed publicly, Vaan assures Lamont that Basch and him will keep them safe.
** Just Vaan being utterly uninformed about important people like 'Amalia' in general. Doubles as RewatchBonus.

* The party reaches Archades and it's not what Vaan was expecting, in fact, it smells more like a sewer. Balthier explains that this is where the runoff from the city proper stays because "even Empires have need of sewers." The city itself is impressive, though it "reeks of a different kind of filth."

* In a couple of cutscenes you can hear Vaan and Penelo joking around in the background of serious conversations Ashe is sharing with other party members.

** Balthier's crew discuss Lamont's really shady visit to the Bhujerba's mine before Vaan goes '[[SkewedPriorities Who cares? Let's get Penelo!]]'

* In Necrohol of Nabudis, a giant Behemoth is instantly defeated by Fury, the [[BonusBoss actual boss]] which is an [[KillerRabbit adorable bunny]].

-->'''Archadian Wayfarer''': Are you as witless as you are craven? ''I'm'' the petitioner! Me! East to the Highlands, north into the Fields of Eternity, and into the caves! Got it? You're quite sure? Shall I repeat it again!?

** Another one can be found in the Eruyt Village but suffered from amnesia. After doing some errands for him, we discovered how he lost his memories in the first place: he had found the some beautiful stone pebbles in the village and wanted to bring it home for his friend in Giza. Unfortunately, the pebbles can only exist in said village and would fade as soon as you stepped outside the area. Frustrated, he thought he could 'fool' the pebbles from fading by running home as quickly as possible. This lead him to stumble down the branches and landing smack into a bunch of trees, making him lose his memories.
** One confused Cockatrice insists that he's a chocobo and gets angry when insinuated otherwise. That is until a moogle paid to ride him - the Cockatrice got so tired that he kicked the Moogle of him and ran home.

* In Necrohol of Nabudis, [[spoiler: a giant Behemoth is instantly defeated by Fury, the [[BonusBoss actual boss]] which is an [[KillerRabbit adorable bunny]].]]
* At some point in the game, Gabranth and Vayne are talking. After they finish, Vayne dismisses Gabranth for Cid. Cid enters the room talking to [[spoiler:Venat]], but he looks as if he's carrying on a conversation with himself. Gabranth sees this as he's leaving the room, and makes a motion as if he's completely dumbfounded by what he just saw.

* At one point [[spoiler:(specifically the cutscene right before the battle with [[ClimaxBoss Vossler]])]], Fran goes against her calm self and flips out, breaking her cuffs and taking down every guard around her.

** Shortly following this, Al-Cid makes a pass at Ashe, commenting "So it is true what they say. Stunning is Dalmasca's desert bloom." Larsa looks and sounds utterly disgusted. Penelo, meanwhile, blushes and hides her face behind her hands in a cute FunnyBackgroundMoment.

* The RunningGag of various characters, even members of your own party, referring to the Dalmascan [[LaResistance Resistance]] against the Archadian Empire as the "Insurgence."

-->'''Amalia''': Resistance.

** Prior to that Jules had just finished explaining to Vaan the very concept of chops (after paying a bit of gil for it). As soon as Vaan goes off to earn said chops, you can see Fran stare accusingly at Jules, implying she knows that he's hiding something. Later we found out that Balthier had given Jules some chops but the man had pocketed it instead. Leading to the above reaction.

** Prior to that Jules had just finished explaining to Vaan the very concept of chops (after paying a bit of gil for it). As soon as Vaan goes off to earn said chops, you can see Fran stare accusingly at Jules, implying she knows that he's lying. The man could only cough before slinking away.

-->'''Montblanc''': He is a swordsman of some repute, you see, and has been so distraught he cannot sleep. He has nightmares about this Ancient Man of Mystery. Can you imagine? [[FridgeLogic He can't sleep but still has nightmares!]] How horrible, kupo!

* Just the whole Great Cockatrice Escape. One found her way to Archades and you find a bunch of imperials trying to chase this huge Cockatrice who had been running them ragged. After talking to her and sending her away one Imperial is flabbergasted at the very fact that you could ''speak'' Cockatrice in the first place.
