Funny / Beneath a Steel Sky

• The fact that the humour turns up in the oddest of places adds to the effect.
  Rob: [noticing the security camera] That thing's watching me... good thing I'm naturally photogenic!
• On multiple occasions other characters comment on Rob's jumper. The player never sees anything but a small sliver or red peeking out from the collar of his coat. About halfway through the game he needs to change into a radiation suit, and naturally he removes his coat for this, which is when the player finally sees what the jumper is all about. It is... a bright red jumper with a large yellow smiley face on the front. Definitely not something you would expect the protagonist in a dark dystopian cyberpunk setting to be wearing.
• Joey in general is just a mass of funny lines being so human like in his interactions.
  • He's absolutely miffed at being stuck in a cleaning robot and when Robert asks Joey to jump start a transporter robot with his extending probe....^note The probe port is on the transport robot's butt
    Joey: This is embarrassing Foster, you aren't going to watch are you? I've always suspected you of being a voyeur.
    Rob: Come on - Just do it!
    Joey: Here goes.... [extends his probe from the top of his shell into the Robot's port and starts it] There, how was it for you?
  • If Robert attempts to go on the scrap metal lift while Joey is in the room, when Hobbins comes in to tell Robert off, Joey will chime in at a point
    Joey: He's right Foster, that lift is designed for light machinery, not a hulking animal like you.
• Inside the TravelCO there are travel posters for the United States and the UK. You can click on them and Rob will react to them.

  Rob: (for the US poster) A big female robot with a welding torch!

  Rob: (for the UK poster) What a dump! I wouldn’t want to go there!

• In the cathedral Rob can enter a massive vertical ventilation shaft reaching deep underground. He refuses to go closer to the platform's railing stating that the air current may suck him off.
• When talking with the shady club's doorman about suspicious events going on in the city, the doorman remarks Rob may wake up dead one morning.
• The entire trial scene is one massive joke, but what tops it off is when you decide to question Hobbins and ask him, why did the pipe burst. He says it's because somebody cut the power cable and released steam in the power plant. My, who could've done that?
• In the finale, Joey/Ken darts into the control room asking Rob, if he needs a hand ... all the while he's missing his whole right arm.
