3* The entire torture scene with Rick Trager can be kind of amusing with [[FauxAffablyEvil his nonsensical and casual friendly comments]], which can make the scene a bit of a BlackComedy.
4-->'''Trager:''' (after a JumpScare) Buddy!
5** While pushing you around in a wheelchair he says some fairly funny things.
6--->'''Trager:''' (When passing by someone strapped to a bed) Shhh, shh. [[TongueTrauma You weren't putting that tongue to any use anyway.]] Truth be told, I was just tired of licking my own stamps.
7** "HOLD UP THERE BUDDY, I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YA!"
8** "Let's teach you the seven habits of highly eviscerated people."
9** "Oh, goddamn it, how did you get out? We're gonna have to do something about those hamstrings."
10** "I gave you a chance, didn't I? Didn't old Rick try to give you a hand? Well I can't help somebody who doesn't want to be helped. You're fired."
11** "Should have cut his feet first, amateur move."
12** Shortly before Trager appears, Miles can find one of his "files," written after the disaster that wrecked the asylum and let the Variants loose. Trager describes his murders as "slimming back personnel" for cost savings, admits to being "new to this whole 'doctor' thing," and confirms that "now I can say with absolute certainty that a person can't live without his kidneys."
13** After Miles kills Trager by trapping him between floors with an elevator, he writes a sarcastic note if you view the corpse with the camera on how to make "Trager Juice."
14---> "Step one: Squeeze."
15* In the sewer level, if you go into a certain locker, Chris Walker will check the one next to it, see there's nothing inside, close it.... and open it again. Yes, he checked the same locker twice. Because why not. Well, the Walrider ''can'' appear out of nowhere, so having something in there ''could'' be possible.
16* In the Courtyard level, there's a shed where you need to retrieve a key. Don't all those metal tools on the wall look like delightful ways to defend yourself? Too bad you can't pick them up. Just to make sure you get the memo, though, that chainsaw you see up on a shelf? No, that's not real--someone drew on the shelf with chalk. Yeah, Red Barrels' developers really trolled you that hard.
17* Miles' sequences of being a DeadpanSnarker are priceless.
18-->'''Miles:''' I wake up and some doughy old man with a face like an alcoholic kiddy fiddler in a homemade priest outfit calls me his Apostle. Not a job I asked for.
19-->'''Miles:''' ''(Trager)'' talks like a white collar business school douchebag, probably has a set of golf clubs in the trunk of his Audi.
20-->'''Miles:''' The man sounds like Film/DrStrangelove's anemic brother.
21-->'''Miles:''' I can't believe Father Martin one-upped Jesus Christ himself in shitty ways to die.
22-->'''Miles:''' I know I've said it before, but fuck this place. I've still got [[FlippingTheBird those fingers]] left.
23* There's a brief moment in the game where Miles just barely misses a jump, causing the floor to collapse, also causing him to drop his camera. As you watch it slip through the floor, Miles feebly lowers his arm, as if thinking "Well, shit."
24* At one point Miles is being flanked by a duo of bad guys, so he climbs out the window and shimmies across to escape them. Their incredibly deadpan sarcasm is pretty amusing:
25-->'''Brother One:''' My God, he vanished.\
26'''Brother Two:''' Vanished without a trace.\
27'''Brother One:''' I detect sarcasm.\
28'''Brother Two:''' It was my intention.
29** They even point out that Miles must think that they're stupid. Even better, they don't bother reaching out the window to grab him or wait around. It's like they're indulging him like a kid! ... [[FridgeHorror Which is also kind of horrifying]], [[RuleOfFunny but still.]]
30* The twins' nudity seems to be a spreading trend. When you get close to Father Martin in one of the final levels, and encounter his flock praying in their rooms, not a single one of them is wearing pants. This appears to have been entirely voluntary, as you can always spot pants hanging over a nearby chair in the same room. Maybe it's a tradition of his church?
31* In a rather GallowsHumor sense, upon pressing the elevator button in the lobby at the beginning of the game, a screaming inmate is dropped from somewhere far above you down the elevator shaft. It's an achievement in the Xbox One version.
32* When Miles is navigating through the Prison Block, he comes face-to-face with all sorts of disturbing and gory imagery thanks to the Variants... And then there's a guy who calls out to you from behind an impassable gate, but when you confront him and he realizes that you're not who he's looking for, he trails off shyly before turning around and fleeing awkwardly into the distance.
33* When Miles encounters the Walrider for the first time, if the player is fast enough, he responds by [[NoJustNoReaction slamming the door in its face.]]
34** Hell, when opening a door containing ANYBODY, from run of the mill inmates to the subbosses to the Walrider, [[NoJustNoReaction slamming the door in their face is the ONLY reaction players will often take.]]
35* In Whistleblower, you hear an inmate banging threateningly behind the door in front of you. Open it up and the inmate stares at you menacingly... before turning around and proceeding to hammer his head on the other door.
36* [[GallowsHumor You gotta admit,]] the way Eddie in ''Whistleblower'' decorated his lair can have these moments. Written on the walls are cutesy little sayings you'd find on a home decor sign ("Welcome Home," "Love makes a house a home," "If mama's not happy, nobody's happy," "A woman's work is never done," etc.) [[RefugeInAudacity ...written in]] [[CouldntFindAPen blood.]]
37** One room is set up like a design studio, and is filled with mannequins... [[DecapitationPresentation with the decapitated heads of Eddie's victims]] [[RefugeInAudacity speared atop them.]]
38** When he's hoisting Waylon up on a pulley to hang him from the ceiling, Eddie quips, [[BlackComedy "If this is you on the honeymoon, I'd hate to imagine our anniversary!"]] Not to mention he says that Waylon is heavier than he looks, which Trager also said to Miles when picking him up to strap him into a wheelchair.
39** When Trager says that Miles is "heavier than [he] looks", the good "doctor" states that a little cardio wouldn't hurt... Likely, [[DontAskJustRun cardio is the ONLY exercise]] [[RunOrDie that Miles has been doing all night.]]
40** This bit of unused dialogue of his is pretty funny.
41---> '''Gluskin:''' Did I...? Oh, lord! I forgot to give you an anesthetic, didn't I? Eddie, you doofus! I'd forget my own head if it wasn't screwed on!
42* The way the Cannibal shouts "MINE!" when he spots you might count.
43** "Feed me! FEED ME! ''FEED ME!''" Beyond his voice getting higher each time he says it, it's a little hard not to think of [[Film/LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey II.]]
44* The Murkoff Soldiers finding "Dr." Trager's corpse, mistaking him for another dead asylum staff member.
45-->'''Soldier 1:''' What kind of sick fuck would do this to somebody? Even took his damn pants.
46-->'''Soldier 2:''' Tell you one thing: [[FullFrontalAssault I've seen enough dick and balls tonight]] to last me a lifetime.
47-->'''Soldier 3:''' [[GroinAttack And not all of them attached to a man.]] Let's wrap this up and get back to the truck.
48* The achievement for clearing Whistleblower on Insane [[FinalDeathMode (if you die, you have to start aaaaalllll the way back at the beginning)]] is called [=BowelWhistler=]. One can only assume Red Barrels called it that because [[BringMyBrownPants all that'll go through your bowels for the next few days will be just a whistle of air.]]
49* Whistleblower also features this [[ARareSentence odd insult.]]
50-->'''Dennis''': [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Go find yourself a 'possum titty!]]
51* This journal entry by Miles for its spectacular descriptions:
52-->'''Miles:''' I'm already beat all to hell, picking broken glass out of my scalp, couple cracked ribs. Nearly killed by a deformed giant, looks like somebody tried to fuck-start his head with a cheese grater. He throws me through a wall, knocks me unconscious. I wake up and some doughy old man with a face like an alcoholic kiddy fiddler in a homemade priest outfit calls me his Apostle. Not a job I asked for. There are words scrawled in blood everywhere. I'm getting an ugly feeling in my gut that the "Priest" is writing them, and for my benefit.
53* If you're one for BlackComedy, at one point in Whistleblower, you come across a bunch of inmates playing basketball with a human head. Then once you interrupt them, they're indignant about you interrupting their pickup game.
54-->"Shirts and skins or fuck off!"
55* Near the end of Whistleblower one can find a poster telling Murkoff staff what to do in the event of an evacuation order. The list is fairly standard stuff like not using the elevator, proceeding outdoors in an orderly manner...except for the last one, which simply says, "Don't cry."
56* A really dark example, a patient [[HypocriticalHumor accuses you]] of being a sick pervert as you accidentally stumble across him...[[ILoveTheDead having intimate moments with a headless corpse.]] Made all the funnier by his gesturing.
57-->"What, you like to watch?! That's sick. You're sick!"
58** A similar one happens in ''Whistleblower'', where you find a variant masturbating over a bunch of bloodied corpses. He proceed to call you a sicko too for watching once he realizes you're there... without actually stopping.
59* In Issue 2 of ''The Murkoff Account'', Pauline realizes Trager roofied her. After forcing him to ingest a full drink of his own drug, the scene cuts to her staring at Trager's coke stash. Cue Pauline counter-drugging herself to high heaven on cocaine, eyes wide, with MotorMouth.
60* In Issue 3, Paul comes up with this gem to discredit Waylon:
61--> THE TRUTH IS HERE, BY WAYLON PARK. [[ConspiracyTheorist OWL SOCIETY'S RACIST BATTLE AGAINST WHITE CHIROPRACTORS. YOU CANN'T SEE THE TRUTH IF YOU DRINK FLORIDED WATER]]. [[CloudCuckoolander YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH IF YOU'VE BEEN WILFULY VACCSINATED]]. [[TinfoilHat SHEEPLE RAYS UP AND CLENSE YOUR BODY OF THE TOXINS CLOUDING YOUR BRAIN EYE.]]
62* In Issue 4, after pissing off something bad and having to burn a swarm of hostile ants off of himself, Marion ends up chasing down Simon Peacock [[NakedPeopleAreFunny in his underwear.]]
63* One from the players: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uZ4iZgpCdw it is possible to troll Chris Walker.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN5R-RI_zg4 And Trager.]]
