History Funny / UntilDawn

* If Jessica is the only survivor, she has no idea whatsoever what's happened. As far as she knows, she got dragged into the woods by a bear, woke up in an old mineshaft, and some hillbilly psychopath chased her outside where she got rescued. She has no context for any of it at all.

* One cliffhanger with Matt and Emily has them being surrounded by wild animals. Except those animals are ''deer'', and as soon as the story returns to them, Matt's response is basically "Wait, what are we scared of?" and walk through them. It zig-zags around to [[BlackComedy another kind of funny]] when it turns out that the deer ''can'' actually present a danger -- namely, if [[SchmuckBait Matt tries to pick a fight with one]].]Incidentally, this ''is'' TruthInTelevision.

** And guess what happens less than ten seconds later? [[spoiler:Their fun time gets ruined. ''BIG TIME.'' That Wendigo must have taken it as a personal challenge. The game even shows its POV during the speech. The whole thing is telegraphed so blatantly that no matter how scary they try to make her getting snatched, it's still really funny.]] This might become ''even more funny'' if [[spoiler:said Wendigo was ''Hannah'']]. The image of [[spoiler:a very nightmarish creature going all "Oh '''HELL NO'''!"]] is just way too funny to let go.

* While the voice acting in this game is generally fantastic, there is one moment during [[spoiler:the saw prank where Galadriel Stineman gives an [[BadBadActing incredibly forced scream that sounds so fake, you'd swear Ashley was the one acting, not Josh.]] To make it funnier, most screams (for instance, when Jess is snatched) are not subtitled, but in this case, the subtitles not only show the scream, but don't capitalise it, which reinforces how strained it sounds.]]

-->'''Ashley''': You were on your phone, you dip! What were you tweeting? "Hashtag there's a freaking ghost after us?"

* While meant as a dramatic scene, Ashley and Mike [[spoiler:mistaking Wendigos for zombies]] and immediately coming to the conclusion that [[spoiler:because Emily was bitten she'll turn into one of them]] comes over as [[{{Narm}} unintentionally hilarious.]] They [[spoiler:mistake the Stranger's comment that turning Wendigo requires eating people while ignoring it was Emily who was bitten and not the other way around.]]
** Also during that scene, Emily will be ''very'' displeased if she learns that [[spoiler:Wendigo bites aren't infectious and Mike almost shot her over nothing:]]
-->'''Ashley''': Please, Emily, please just try to understand...
-->'''Emily''': Understand the palm of my hand, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!]] ''(slaps Ashley)''

-->'''Mike''': Oh my God, totally, we're sooooo gonna make out!

* If Jessica is the only survivor, [[spoiler:she has no idea whatsoever what's happened. As far as she knows, she got dragged into the woods by a bear, woke up in an old mineshaft, and some hillbilly psychopath chased her outside where she got rescued. She has no context for any of it at all.]]

* One cliffhanger with Matt and Emily has them [[spoiler:being surrounded by wild animals. Except those animals are ''deer'', and as soon as the story returns to them, Matt's response is basically "Wait, what are we scared of?" and walk through them.]] It zig-zags around to [[BlackComedy another kind of funny]] when it turns out that [[spoiler:the deer ''can'' actually present a danger -- namely, if [[SchmuckBait Matt tries to pick a fight with one]].]] Incidentally, this ''is'' TruthInTelevision.
** If Matt [[spoiler:doesn't kill the elk, which is the best decision to take]], he'll encourage Emily to follow him calmly. Then we see Emily stiff has a board, holding into herself and sliding towards Matt one foot at a time, in the most hilarious way.

-->'''Jessica''': I think Josh was flirting with me.
-->'''Mike''': Mmkay. You want him to join us?
-->'''Jessica''': ''(excited)'' Wait, really?
-->'''Mike''': What? No!

-->'''Jessica''': I saw something! Something moved!
-->'''Mike''': Okay! It's probably just, like, a bat or something!
-->'''Jessica''': A bat?!
-->'''Mike''': I'm comin' after you -- just stay put!

-->'''Mike''': Well, it's not gonna ''bite'' you!
-->'''Jessica''': MICHAEL, THAT'S WHAT BATS DO! THEY ''BITE'' ME!

-->'''Chris''': ''(after falling in and landing on his back)'' Ugh.... I'm okay! I should have paid more attention in climbing class...
-->'''Josh''': [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe ...]]you mean "gym"?

-->'''Josh''': Do you have an app that can get you laid?
-->'''Chris''': Well, actually, there ''is'' this one--
-->'''Josh''': Dude, you don't. The answer is that you don't.

-->'''Josh''': You up for hunting in the dark for a little bit?
-->'''Chris''': No. But I'll do it.

--> '''Chris''': Okay. I'm gonna open the door. You ready?
--> '''Mike''': Uh-huh.
--> '''Chris''': You ready?

--> '''Mike''': Just do it already, whoever it is has probably gone by now.

--> '''Chris''': Oh no you don't- ''(gun is taken away from him)'' Oh, I guess you will.
* In a [[BlackComedy morbid sense]], during Josh's [[spoiler:hallucinations, when the giant pig head appears, he can ''punch it''.]]

* The way [[spoiler:The Stranger]] discovers Emily [[spoiler:if she tries to hide from him in the mines]]. He simply walks up to her, casually takes a look, and goes "Hmpf".
* In Ashley's first sequence, [[spoiler:Matt {{Jump Scare}}s her through the binoculars and walks up to the platform to greet her, laughing gleefully... then sheepishly petering out and tripping over his words as she responds with annoyance.]]
* Mike often expresses his rage or surprise by saying things like "Fuck nuggets!" or "Jesus hot sauce Christmas cake!" His similarly colorful way of trying to refocus and take his mind off the pain if he [[spoiler:loses his fingers in the sanatorium.]]

* [[spoiler:Wendigo Hannah]] is still wearing [[spoiler:her panties from when she was human.]]

* A mild and short-lasting bit of MoodWhiplash when Mike holds [[spoiler:Josh]] at gunpoint for [[spoiler:making taunting comments about Jessica during TheReveal]], if Chris chooses to [[spoiler:strike his arm to make him drop it.]]

** And if Chris decides to defuse the situation by [[spoiler:knocking Josh out cold]] instead;

-->'''Mike:''' ''(conversationally)'' I was just messing with him, man! ''(inspects [[spoiler:an injured Josh]] with mild interest)'' Just trying to scare him. You know, [[spoiler:give him a taste of his own medicine]], that kind of thing.

* In the mines, if the player chooses for Emily to [[spoiler:hide when being pursued by the Stranger, he will find her, but then give her a bag of flares and tell her to leave. Emily falls backwards, rolling down to a lower area of the mine and landing on her back... then before she can even take a breath and recover, the bag hits her on the stomach.]]
* The [[spoiler:boiler]] sequence. The moment you realize that [[spoiler:the guy coming after you in a robe is only Chris.]]
-->'''Chris:''' [[spoiler:Boom! You just got monked.]]
-->'''Sam:''' [[spoiler:[[BigWhat ...WHAT?!]]]]

* If both Matt and Jessica survive, you take control of a bloodied Matt in the mines. After [[spoiler:you find a lantern]], you immediately go into a difficult-to-pass QTE where [[spoiler:Jessica breaks a shovel over Matt's head]]. Even if you fail, however, Matt shrugs it off, and his relative lack of a reaction makes it funny.
* As Mike begins to escort [[spoiler:a mentally unhinged Josh]] out of the mines;

* Considering one of the characters has PlotArmor, the scene where [[spoiler:Jess is kidnapped and Mike has to rescue her]] can be funny as hell if you keep failing the [=QTEs=].

** Arguably even funnier in a [[BlackComedy Black Comedy]] way if Mike [[spoiler: just lost his fingers mere moments before. Poor Mike's just not having a good night...]]

* In retrospect, Mike telling Jessica that no bear (or anything else) was going to open the cabin door is pretty funny. [[spoiler:After all, the Wendigo didn't open the door -- it just pulled Jess ''through'' it]].
* Sam's [[SarcasmMode epic battle cry]] when charging [[spoiler:the Wendigo tackling Mike.]]

** Observant players may notice that [[spoiler:Wendigos are [[{{Irony}} skin-and-bones emaciated]],]] not to mention that [[spoiler:the cannibalistic murder-demon]] looks genuinely pissed that someone called it "fat".
* Josh is clearly going through some [[spoiler:SanitySlippage while he's taken away and tied up by Chris and Mike,]] giving lines like "Can't tie 'em up if they just ''wiggle arooound!"'' and "Ooh, sleepover. Can we order pit-zah?" Pretty much all of his babbling is golden.

** It's very easy to miss, but if you have Chris [[spoiler:knock the gun out of Mike's hands when he points it at Josh, the latter will briefly try to reach for it with his leg.]]
** If Chris chooses to [[spoiler:save Ashley over Josh in the first death trap]], Josh antagonizes him:

* When you encounter [[spoiler:Psycho!Josh as Sam and attempt to escape, it's possible to do so successfully as you eventually hide in an elevator shaft. Doing so will result in Psycho!Josh standing right above her and saying: "Here, little kitty. Here, pussy pussy." Also, realizing he can't find her, he will say "Fuck!" before leaving. Hearing that word suddenly uttered by the distorted voice is pretty funny.]]
** [[spoiler:In the beginning of the same chase, if you have Sam hide under a bed, Psycho!Josh will find her and laugh as he pulls her out, as if he's cracking up at your choice of hiding place.]]

* In a BlackComedy sort of way, [[spoiler:The Flamethrower Guy's]] death. After going on and on about [[spoiler:the Wendigos]], how long they have been tracking them, and going into great detail about how [[spoiler:the Wendigo]] will slowly tear you limb from limb so you can suffer, watching [[spoiler:him]] be swiftly decapitated with no fanfare is unintentionally hilarious.
* At one point, when you're controlling Ashley (or Chris if he's alive), you can find a trapdoor. Now, bear in mind that the path leading to this trapdoor involves following Jessica's voice... even though you as the player ''know'' that can't be her, and the characters know that [[spoiler:Wendigos can imitate human voices]]. Plus, the trapdoor is ''rattling''. If you open it, [[spoiler:a Wendigo jumps out and tears the character's head off]]. Shocking when it happens, but in hindsight, there's a huge amount of [[TooDumbToLive "What did you think was going to happen?"]] There's even an achievement for it: [[spoiler:"You Let The Wrong One In"]].
** This moment in particular has tripped up multiple Youtubers during their Let's Plays of the game. They make the decision to investigate Jessica's voice at first [[spoiler:only to remember almost immediately after that the Wendigo can imitate voices and realizing they accidentally just led (mostly Ashley) to certain doom.]]
* If Matt is still alive at the radio tower scene, Emily will scream in panic that [[spoiler:the Wendigo]] is coming to kill [[{{Its All About Me}} her]], ignoring that Matt is also in peril.

* In a way, the part where Sam is listening to music while bathing [[spoiler:only for the camera to reveal the Psycho standing behind her before leaving could be seen as this. While definitely creepy, another way to see it is like Psycho!Josh just went "Oh well, she's busy. I'll come back later."]]
** Fridge-Funny: if one does the math right, Sam had been bathing for two to three ''hours''! [[spoiler: One can interpret that Psycho!Josh must've been standing there for quite a while, and then left wondering "Oh my goodness, how long does a girl have to bathe anyway?!"]]
* During [[spoiler: his encounter with the Wendigos on his second trip through the Sanatorium, Mike gets a little too confident in himself]].

* Some of the dialogue can be kind of narmy in its delivery. As was repeatedly lampshaded by Game Theory:
-->'''Emily''': It was just a prank, HAN!

* During [[spoiler: his encounter with the Wendigos on his second trip through the Sanitorium, Mike gets a little too confident in himself]].

-->'''Mike''': Yeah, I got the moves. Fuck yeah! [[OhCrap O-oh shit!]]

* In a way, the part where Sam is listening to music while bathing [[spoiler:only for the camera to reveal the Psycho standing behind her before leaving could be seen as this. While definitely creepy, another way to see it is like Psycho!Josh just went "Oh well, she's busy. I'll come back later."]]

*** This moment is even funnier if you've seen Markiplier's playthrough.
