History Narm / SilentHill

* The comics aren't immune to narm. ''The Hunger'', a bonus "motion comic" in ''The Silent Hill Experience'', is a nigh-apocalyptic epic, but has some [[OffModel weird art in places]]. The very first panel shows the main character "walking" through a foggy Silent Hill by literally ''sliding'' across the screen. It looks like one of those Website/{{Newgrounds}} games that WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} would poke fun at.

* The very [[SarcasmMode polished]] [[ObviousBeta HD]] [[PortingDisaster Collection.]] For instance, the scene where [[https://youtu.be/58n-Gg1GrE4?t=9m56s James goes to the Lakeview Hotel.]] Cybil was right about the drugs!

* On that note, some of the weirdest things in the game occur in the "normal" world. Along with the super's odd and disgusting keepsake, there are also notes detailing an incident where the apartment building's tenants ganged up on a PeepingTom and stripped him naked (referred to as "skinning" him), which is treated like an ordinary group activity. They might have been going for a disturbing effect with much of it, but [[TheComicallySerious the completely straight-faced way it's presented]] (everyone involved treats this bizarre stuff as if it were perfectly normal) makes these moments feel like they came out of an unusually dark Creator/MontyPython sketch.

* While the games' soundtracks are excellent for the most part, it is kind of amusing when MaryElizabethMcGlynn informs us (in "I Want Love") that "[her] Swiss cheese heart knooooows! Only kindness can fill its hoooooles!" (Swiss cheese, really?)

* Not even ''Pyramid Head'' -- the game's iconic ImplacableMan and '''the freaking face of the series''', whose sheer scaryness earned him a spot in the very first entry of [[NightmareFuel/SilentHill2 Silent Hill 2's Nightmare Fuel page]] -- is inmune to this. Whenever he walks, his head actually bobs back and forth as he drags his Great Knife behind him. This detail [[NightmareRetardant saps some of the scaryness out of Pyramid Head]] when he decides to quickly leave the room where James has his first personal encounter with him, looking more like a spooky masked chicken.

** The redubbed version on the HD Collection somehow manages to make James’ pizza line even more ridiculous given the way Creator/TroyBaker reads the word [[SuddenlyShouting pizza]]. Now James goes from being annoyed by Eddie’s lack of enthusiasm to brings pizza hater in one dub change.

Even a terrifying and emotionally-charged SurvivalHorror video game series like ''Franchise/SilentHill'' can have some inappropriately cheesy or unintentionally goofy moments.

* In a game filled with grotesque, twisted monstrosities that reflect the psyche of the titular town's inhabitants, you'd expect the final boss to be at least equally or more horrifying than the rest. Now prepare yourself for your greatest foe yet, one that is bound to haunt your dreams to your very grave: [[spoiler: A generic BigRedDevil. We repeat: A [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Big. Red.]] '''[[PrecisionFStrike Fucking.]]''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Devil,]] complete with demonic GeometryMagic and falling meteors. ''Out of all things''. Not only does it come out of nowhere with little to no characterization, but the thing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwCedAHwJzs&t=45s looks so out of place]] that you'd be forgiven if you mistake it for something ripped out of ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' or ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'']]

** What really sells that last one is how he actually closes his nose and looks disgusted at first, but when he finds what's making the smell, he goes back to his normal reaction, as if to say "is ''that'' what that was?"
