** Hanging around The Archangel when you meet him in the lowest level of Neuro Tower elicits some funny dialogue, such as him complaining about being impaled and wanting it to be removed or how he's bored.

** Quite a few of the characters themselves. The Horned Girl's lack of thoughts/personality, particularly that moment when you realize she's saying what ''you're'' thinking. Longneck's creepy masochistic suicidal attitude. The Archangel's treatment of you, impaled on a spike of a Consciousness Orb, looking dead in the original but clearly awake/alive in the remake. The Protagonist being the only one who looks/acts like an actual human being in the game.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The more you die, the more pissed The Archangel becomes at you. At first he's just passive aggressive, but eventually he'll start yelling at you to get your act together. By your 42nd death, he's so fed up with you that he resorts to giving you the silent treatment.

** The game gives the player the option to do stupid things, such as gnawing on rocks that will break your teeth, with the descriptions telling you as much. If you do it anyway, the flavor text calls you an idiot.

* DracoInLeatherPants: The Archangel is a pretty boy with a sense of humor in an otherwise bleak setting, so it's no surprise that he's popular among those who remember this game, with some even wanting an ending in which he gets his way.

* UnintentionalUncannyValley: Most creatures in the game fall under this, due to the contrast between anime-style characters (the Protagonist, Archangel and the Absolute God) and realistic ones (the Coffin man). The remake worsens it by making everything slightly more cartoonish.

** The Twisted Coat, which prevents all ailments but Confusion and Stomachache. With a little luck, you can find the two parasites that prevent said ailments, fuse them into a single parasite, then fuse ''that'' with the Twisted Coat; never have to worry about standard ailments ever again.[[note]]The more exotic 'ailments', such as lowering your equipment's stats, won't be stopped by this. And of course, this doesn't mean it'll be immune to other effects, such as Parasite/Hungry Boxes.[[/note]]
