3The Prison might be a dark and cruel world of gore, death, and horror, but for a body-controlling blob of ooze, The Beheaded doesn't let things get him down! Even if his humor ''can'' get a little dark.
4----
5* The Beheaded himself qualifies - a bit dim-witted, a little excited, and a very selfish doofus who communicates primarily through shrugs and thumbs-ups, resulting in some amusing exchanges.
6* A rare room to find in the Prisoners' Quarters is a room where a prisoner was growing his flowers, and decided to hang himself. Upon examining the deceased...
7-->'''The Beheaded:''' A moment of silence.\
8''[Proceeds to kick an amulet off the corpse.]''\
9'''The Beheaded:''' Nah! I've got better things to do!
10* On your first visit to the Toxic Sewers, you'll meet someone hiding behind a grate looking for their rune. After defeating the boss and acquiring said rune (which allows you to use the coffin teleporters), the person will ask for it back. Of course, the Beheaded refuses, resulting in the person raging at you and the Beheaded [[FlippingTheBird giving the person the finger in response]].
11* In the Promenade, you'll find a short firing range where a prisoner had been executed for target practice, killed with a [[BoomHeadshot single shot perfectly to the head.]] Except that behind them is an [[ATeamFiring entire quiver's worth of arrows that had missed wide and embedded into the wall instead.]]
12* The Cursed Chests are one of the few things in the game, outside of the Collector and his buddies, who will speak to you. And most of what it says is trying to tempt you into busting it open by being TooKinkyToTorture. All this as it bounces around in a chipper demeanor and follows you with its beady, glowy eyes.
13-->'''Cursed Chest:''' I've been a very naughty chest. I deserve to be punished!
14* With the [[AudienceParticipation Twitch integration,]] one combines both the sheer madness of the whims of an often [[VideogameCrueltyPotential sadistic]] audience given authority to vote on boss special abilities or when to heal the Beheaded, there is also the fact that the game [[TrollingCreator invites them to mock the streamer]] under certain circumstances, especially death and falling into a BottomlessPit.
15* Rarely, but you may see a monster sometimes stand by the edge of a cliff, and inexplicably jump off the cliff while shouting out "YOLO!".
16** Even worse, they have a tendency to also do this while jumping down a foot to 3 feet a drop, really makes you wonder how badly the Malaise has affected them, huh?
17* The Beheaded doesn't understand art. Or just doesn't care. The deer actually ''is'' poorly drawn and has googly eyes, so maybe he's just a critic.
18-->''(upon interacting with a painting of a deer in High Peak Castle)''\
19'''The Beheaded:''' The King was fond of hunting, as can be seen from the painting of this... deer.\
20(''beat'')\
21'''The Beheaded:''' It's really ugly.
22* In the Toxic Sewers, there is a chance of you encountering a hidden hole leading into a wall with a dead prisoner inside it. He doesn't appear to be infected, so he must have died by trying to dig out of the prison, only to [[EpicFail somehow end up trapped inside this wall and starving]]. "Another failed escape attempt" indeed!
23* The end of the Giant boss fight.
24-->'''Giant:''' My King, you...\
25''(gives a [[{{Pun}} giant]] [[FlippingTheBird middle finger]] as he disappears into the lava)''\
26'''Giant:''' ARE AN INCORRIGIBLE ASS!!
27* The end of the Collector fight. How do you finish it off? Why, literal curb stomping. The wacky sound effects accompanying it only highlights it.
28* The description for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBtfG1R8_OY "Bad Seed" teaser]]:
29-->''The Bad Seed DLC will bring two new early game biomes and a fear-bringing boss for you to bash your head against, at least until you’re steamrolling it to death in 3 seconds flat and back to demanding more content...''
30* The ''Bad Seed'' DLC introduces a new enemy type: the Yeeters and true to their name, they will throw (yeet) Jerkshrooms, Rocks, and if you're not careful, YOU (often into nearby spikes)
31* Each and every animated trailer for the game is absolutely epic and gut-bustingly (and often pretty darkly) hilarious at the same time.
32* The new Bank biome features an optional long section comprised entirely of traps that will teleport you back to the beginning of the section if you get hit by them. The Beheaded becomes increasingly frustrated with each failure. If you succeed, open the chest at the end, and take the teleport back to the start, the Beheaded flips off the entire obstacle course!
33* A tombstone in the graveyard with the inscription, "To my late husband"? Sad but a little sweet. That same tombstone with, "To my daughter" slightly underneath? [[OutlivingOnesOffspring Tragic]]. With "To my son" slightly lower? Even more tragic. Ending with "To my cat"? Somehow hilarious.
34* The King really liked putting statues of himself all over the island.
35** Accordingly, people really liked defacing these statues as well. The Beheaded can find that people urinated on some, threw fishnets over others, and one that read, "To the glory of our illustrious ruler" had "We'll skin you alive!" scratched under it. The Beheaded gives the last one a thumbs up and declares it, "A brave and courageous message."
36** If the Beheaded finds one in the Cavern, he is amazed at the sheer arrogance it takes to lug an enormous stone statue all the way there.
