** Obviously YMMV on this one, as Max also seems to be using the service as a way to seek emotional solace, rather than going to a psychiatrist, which probably led to his becoming TheAlcoholic in 3.

** Another is an American ex-cop who happens to be the exact opposite of Max in just about every way. He's a happy-go-lucky, overweight fellow with a stable family life who is in Brazil primarily to help with a charity. He also just so happens to be from the Northwest, and his accent and the way he talks about the things he has seen on the job could have come straight out of ''{{Fargo}}''.

* One of the hidden "Clues" involves Max running into an American tourist at the favela strip joint/brothel. Said tourist unintentionally hints that the prostitutes he was "enjoying" may have been a bit underaged. Max's subtle yet harsh reaction of disgust is priceless.
** And doesn't end there. Later, at the UFE police station. He encounters him again (another "Clue" you can find), only this time, he's locked up in a cell. Max, to say the least, doesn't mind letting him rot in there.

* ''Lords And Ladies'' is a costume drama series that is so painfully hammy and sappy (deaths via 'rapier-under-the-armpit' impalement count as a dramatic climax), so horrendously scripted (most of the dialogue just consists of "my lord!" as well as "my ladeh!") and so cheesily casted (the evil matriarch is played by a ''man'' in a black veil bearing a permanent devious smile) that it hardly ever fails to put a smile on a player's face.

* Six words: Vinnie Gognitti in the mascot suit. [[spoiler:The entire concept of him slipping into the squeaky mascot suit of a cartoon figure he just happens to be ''idolising'' that was given to him by his arch-nemesis, Vlad, and then finding it to be booby-trapped with a massive bomb and then has to be evacuated from his own headquarters by no one other than Payne himself is just as insanely obscure as it insanely hilarious. Still, the way he ends up dying in it is more than sobering.]]

* In the police station, you can hear a really bizarre murder case:
-->'''Cop:''' We found you out of it on V, covered in blood, burying the pieces of your wife and the pizza guy under a rosebush in the backyard. There’s a bloody chainsaw in the bathtub, and by the looks of it, they had been shot in your bed. The murder weapons have your prints all over them, and [[ImplausibleDeniability you say you didn’t do it]].
::The perp has this insane conspiracy theory going, claiming his wife and the pizza guy were in on it and setting him up as a fall guy. The cop snarks his way through the questioning, eventually saying:
-->'''Cop:''' Your wife and the pizza guy deviously conspire to set you up, they kill themselves in your bed with your gun, proceed to chop each other to pieces with your chainsaw, and finally lure you to the backyard, where they patiently wait under the rosebush to inject you with V, and when you are helpless, they leak blood all over you and call the police.

* The [[spoiler: Dearest Of All My Friends show]] during Max's post-escort-mission dream in part two is surreal, horrific, and downright hilarious, especially considering what is written on the wall.
* Also from the second game, early on, you find out the cleaners have been spying on you; when you listen to wiretapped phone conversations, one is Bravura trying to talk Max into going to AA, while another is Max calling a phone sex hotline, and being, well, Max.
* Sometimes the mooks can be heard having conversations with one another. Waiting to kill them until they finish talking is often worth a chuckle.
