Go To

Despite being serious and dramatic, Dark Parables has its funny moments.

Jack and the Sky Kingdom

  • Prince Leonard asks Jack if all he can do is run. Jack replies, "I prefer to call it a strategic retreat!"
    • It's especially funny because this is happening in the background, with the two men bouncing around on various parts of the scenery like little puppets. One can only imagine the expression on the detective's face as she was watching.

The Little Mermaid and The Purple Tide

  • The credits sequence has some truly awful fish puns.

The Thief and the Tinderbox

  • When first threatened by the Big Bad, the detective gamely remarks that "Okay, maybe we didn't get off on the right foot..."
  • The credits assign wedding-related tasks to the various participants in the game's development, such as "Dressmakers," "People in the front row at the wedding," and "Rich In-Laws."

Requiem for the Forgotten Shadow

  • The credits are once again filled with playful (and even self-deprecating) humor, and assign different names to the assorted teams who worked on the game. These include "Anaben's Grand Council," "Plot-convenient lantern makers," and "Fairytale Detective Fan Club."
