* Chie's joke ending. She ditches the investigation to [[SkewedPriorities chase after a beef bowl from Aiya]], down to dramatically challenging Akihiko to a fight over it (complete with hanging the bowl from a nearby telephone pole as the prize.) She wins and either keeps the bowl while taunting Akihiko, or offers to share (which he refuses as a matter of pride.) She prepares to take a bite... and wakes up in Junes surrounded by the Investigation Team, who promptly tell her the case has been solved. When she asks what happened, Yu calls her out for ditching the investigation to chase and eat something she ''[[AlienLunch found in the TV World.]]'' Her ending narration, combined with her nervous laughter, is the cherry on top.

* Junpei, after meeting fake Rise, comments that the encounter is so going to his 'NightmareFuel' folder. Junpei, what kind of site have you been visiting, Wiki/ThisVeryWiki?

* One of Yukiko's motives for fighting: revenge for her boxed lunch! Gets turned UpToEleven in her joke ending. How much? First she force feeds her boxed lunch to Yu (after fighting him), who passes out after making a noise [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=UblOzEGCFtc&t=52m19s akin to that of a dying animal]] (she thinks he's sleeping comfortably as a result). She then later offers the same to the rest of the Investigation Team, all of whom balk, but eat it out of respect, making her think they're happy to eat it. Last of all, she attributes everyone getting sick later on to causes other than food poisoning.

-->(Player Kanji) [[NeverLiveItDown I thought it was steaming up in here... Do your thing.]]

-->(Player Elizabeth) Do you even need me here? Can I go home?

-->(Enemy Ken) I don't like dogs... [[NoodleIncident One bit me during a case.]]

* Try using Adachi as your navigator and his analysis and advice will mostly consist of him roasting the ''Ultimax'' cast (or you) and getting bored watching the match.

-->'''Yosuke''': Can we stop talking about potato chips?!

* Any interaction with Kanji, Akihiko or Teddie leads to hysterical misunderstandings.
** Same with Elizabeth, but for different reasons.
*** Special mention goes to Elizabeth [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu ignoring Shadow Labrys during her]] MotiveRant, with Shadow Labrys completely losing her composure once she realizes Elizabeth just doesn't give a crap.
*** When Shadow Labrys finally loses it and attacks Elizabeth, her completely bored, "This is a waste of time" tone she takes when reciting her PreAsskickingOneLiner CatchPhrase.
----> '''Elizabeth''': *sigh* So it is. Your fate is in the cards...
*** Also during the confrontation with Aigis, Shadow Labrys disguised as General Teddie is goading them to follow the rules… then Elizabeth just tosses her grimoire into the TV, ruining it. Problem solved.
*** Well, almost solved. The speaker still works, as is shown after the fight with Aigis. Of course, Elizabeth just snaps her fingers and blows the speaker up. And then acts innocent about it.
----> '''Elizabeth''': Oh, my! Flames have suddenly burst from the speakers! How dreadful...
----> '''Aigis''': That was 180% your doing!
*** That's not all. Her reason for doing it? ''She wanted to join the competition and interrupted General Teddie before he could announce the next matchup.''
*** (Referring to the invisible walls) "Such parlour tricks [[SophisticatedAsHell can get stuffed!]]"
*** Elizabeth's ending is a combined SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome and SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments, as [[ThePowerOfFriendship the entire Investigation Team shows up to support Yu after he loses to Elizabeth, and they collectively threaten to fight her to protect him]]; this both causes Elizabeth to have her first true OhCrap moment, as well as gives her the EurekaMoment that kicks off her journey and causes her to awaken her [[PlayerCharacter Fool arcana.]] Immediately afterwards, as she's preparing to leave, [[MoodWhiplash Chie realizes they don't even know who she is...]]
---->'''Chie''': You haven't even told us your name!
---->'''[[CloudCuckoolander Elizabeth]]''': '''[[LargeHam It's Elizabeeeeeeth~!]]'''

-->'''Yosuke''': (answering phone) Hel--
-->'''Chie''': WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT "CARNIVORE WHO'S DISCARDED WOMANHOOD" CRAP!?
-->'''Yosuke''': Oww, you almost blew out my eardrum...

-->'''Naoto''': K-Killjoy!? What is this? Who came up with this demeaning epithet?!

--> '''Yosuke''': (To himself) Ahem… sorry, Nanako-chan. (To Yu.) Haa haa! That Nanako-chan! What a dummy, right!?
--> '''Yu''': That's it… your life is ''forfeit''!

** And later…

--> '''Chie''': Oh, it's Yosuke… what a letdown.

* Early on Yosuke comments about having Teddie keep the [=TVs=] up in the TV world in case someone gets trapped there and Chie mentions that no one would be careless enough to fall into the TV. Kanji falls into his family's new TV after falling asleep. Not to mention half of Kanji's story which includes his joke path that he's still thinks he's in dreamland seeing his wish came true all the sudden without realizing.

--> '''Akihiko''': Your chest is [[HiddenBuxom overdeveloped]].

* Kanji's route is a goldmine of laughter.

-->'''Shadow Yukiko''': "I've got my lacey unmentionables on. Are you ready?"

** And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKciKVkUp1o this one]] has a [[EarWorm short but catchy song]] playing over sped up footage.

* During Yosuke's arcade mode, he discovers everyone's acting weird because [[spoiler: it's an illusion to get them to fight each other.]] Yukiko said that Yosuke kept demanding her to wash his back, which leads to this:

** What makes this funnier? [[spoiler:General Teddie is [[LesYay Shadow Labrys.]]]]
* The whole exchange between Yu and Yosuke in the latter's story mode and later, in the manga [[spoiler:due to the effects of the illusion]] Yu seems pretty… ''protective'' of Nanako.

* Chie's joke ending. She ditches the investigation to [[SkewedPriorities chase after a beef bowl from Aiya]], down to dramatically challenging Akihiko to a fight over it (complete with hanging the bowl from a nearby telephone pole as the prize.) She wins and either keeps the bowl while taunting Akihiko, or offers to share (which he refuses as a matter of pride.)

--> [[spoiler: I look around at all of my friends, and I see them staring and smiling at me, [[TheUnsmile but their smiles]] [[WhatTheHellHero are hollow and cold.]]]]

* Early on Yosuke comments about having Teddie keep the [=TVs=] up in the TV world in case someone gets trapped there and Chie mentions that no one would be careless enough to fall into the TV. [[spoiler:Kanji falls into his family's new TV after falling asleep.

** That was practically the biggest goldmine of laughs after all is said and done. [[spoiler: When they finally got out of the TV world, practically ''all the customers'' took pictures of the group appearing out of nowhere, especially since they consist of a woman in a spy catsuit with a fur coat, a half-naked guy wearing a cape, a pop star idol, a famous boy(actually a girl) detective, two robot girls (one of which is carrying an axe the size of a desk), the local store mascot, and the rest of the investigation team.]]
*** [[spoiler: And of course, cops show up, and everyone proceeds to run like hell out of there. Labrys, being a FishOutOfWater, has no idea what's going on, and Teddie, being rather stupid, also hasn't a clue. Rise is more concerned with her phone, Kanji tries to pick a fight every once in a while and Naoto repeatedly stops him. This is all conveyed in text but nevertheless, it's hilarious.]]
** [[spoiler:Labrys' annoyed grunt and flailing legs when she winds up stuck half-way through the exit TV because the axe/thruster combination that attaches to her back is too large.]]
* Aside from the general hilarity of watching Kanji smash through the tournament all while thinking it's a dream, there's also the fact that a lot of plot-critical elements [[spoiler: (such as the involvement of the Mysterious Entity in the tournament's events)]] simply fly right over his head without him noticing them.

* At Yukiko's joke ending, when she comes across Yu, there's no illusion confusing their words for either of them, [[spoiler: but Yu attacks Yukiko after she offers her boxed lunch, thinking that the real Yukiko would never endanger her friends like that.]]

* The final boss in Teddie's story mode. It's [[spoiler: just Kanji, who thinks the tournament is still going and wants a fight. And Teddie goes along with it so he might be able to get Labrys to kiss him]].

* When Chie sees [[spoiler: real]] Teddie for the first time in her story mode, he makes a funny noise.

* A lovely exchange between Teddie and "Miss President" [[spoiler: aka Labrys]] in the Yukiko storyline:

* Teddie has several win poses in which his body unzips and his human form emerges. In one, he's his usual BishieSparkle Teddie. In another, he's BishieSparkle Teddie again... [[NakedPeopleAreFunny but he's forgotten to wear clothes]] (and uses his bear self as a ModestyTowel). The third? [[spoiler:''Alice Teddie''.]]

** Now you folks are asking yourself "How'd [[ButtMonkey Junpei]] manage to end up at Inaba in the first place"? [[spoiler:He was so tired from coaching baseball that he dozed off in the train and dream he won the championship and was about proposing to Chidori causing him to end up at the very last station, which happens to be Inaba station.]] This is also a bit of a TearJerker, though, considering that [[spoiler:Chidori has been dead for over two and a half years by this point(her survival in Portable is non-canon), which suggests Junpei still isn't over her death]].
*** Actually, its pretty much confirmed that Chidori's revival is canon, as the necklace that Junpei has in Ultimax is actually a gift from Chidori.

* Kanji's over the top lust over cute animals [[spoiler: and nearly make Ken mistook his obsession over him]]. Poor Koromaru.

-->[[spoiler:'''Ken''': O-Ohh, you meant Koromaru!]]

*** becomes more hilarious when Yosuke (in the manga) [[http://bato.to/reader#e987db67f54b8af9_10 actually didn't call her a dummy but has an "outie" bellybutton!]]

----> '''Elizabeth'''" *sigh* So it is. Your fate is in the cards...

---->[[spoiler: '''Yukiko''': Wait...what was her name again?]]

-->'''Aigis''' Uhhh… I'm a… [[BlatantLies Transfer student!]] I have blue eyes, blonde hair… Uhhhh… [[GatlingGood Gatling cannon.]]

** Yukiko then decides to hold an impromptu quiz show, asking innocuous questions about Inaba to determine the real Kanji. The last question is a math problem and after one of the Kanjis correctly answers, she and Teddie strike a [[PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Phoenix]]-worthy pose and proclaim that he is the fake since the real Kanji would never be able to do the math so easily.

* Junpei, after meeting fake Rise, comments that the encounter is so going to his 'NightmareFuel' folder. Junpei, what kind of site have you been visiting, ThisVeryWiki?

** After a battle with Yukari, Ken will sheepishly remark about Feathermen Rangers, trying to hide his childish ways--Yukiko, a girl 4 years older than him and nearing adulthood, gleefully exclaims her love for the show and excitedly volunteers to be the red ranger. (In the JP version, she recites the show title as the rangers would on the show, and afterwards says she likes the red ranger the best out of all others).
