Funny / Divinity: Original Sin II

Despite that this game is Darker and Edgier than the previous Divinity: Original Sin, this game is still capable of making the players chuckle.

The Game Itself

• "Treated Like Cattle" is a little funny quest in which you save two people who were turned into cows. Between their banter as well as the fact that one of them actually becomes male... it's obviously intended to be funny.
  • Those two cows also whisper to one and another while arguing about whether they should ask for the PC's help or not. You can then point out that you understand everything they just whispered.
• The Optional Sexual Encounter is hands-on-feet hilarious. One can only imagine how many takes it took for the voice actor playing the narrator to read the lines without laughing.
  • For record: you can have sex with Fane. After the act he's impressed by your creativity with bones and tongue (even though he still didn't feel anything).
• Play as Lohse or put the Jester Tag on your character. You can make some moments unintentionally funny, but sometimes characters will find your comments amusing.
  • There's one moment where you encounter a chest in the swamp surrounded by Noxious Bulbs and heads on sticks. Talking to the heads normally explains how this is all an obvious trap (to them, not necessarily to the player if they stand safely next to the chest) and some exposition about Braccus Rex and the Gargoyle Maze, but someone with the Jester or Undead tag can invoke a Hurricane of Puns. They aren't amused.
• Chicken Claw is outright hilarious. Turn every tough opponent you meet into a chicken and they will temporarily run away.
  • For clarification: unlike in many other games, bosses do not have Contractual Boss Immunity. Once their physical armor is down, the lowliest bandit and the game's final boss can both be turned into a chicken for a couple of turns.
• Stack items such as chairs or boxes. Bonus points for sitting on the chairs that you stacked.
  • Bonus points if the NPCs sit on a chair you just stacked on top of a tower of boxes or a torch.
• When the Red Prince finally meets the Red Princess, they almost immediately fulfill their calling inside the carriage. The player can peep on the action, with the Narrator commenting that it's the first time you've seen the "beast with two backs and two tails", leading the player to wonder if the tails are involved somehow... and that they should continue watching. Strictly for educational purposes, of course.
  • A lizard character might wonder if they are going to do that thing with the tail that they enjoyed so much.
  • If you eavesdrop enough, the Red Prince will angrily snap at you and demand an explanation. One of the answers you can give is that you are jealous of Sahda. The Red Prince is at a loss of words, and tells you they will talk about it later.
• While Arx is in dire straits, the young girl acting as Town Crier is good for a laugh or two.
  Bella The Scoop: Hear ye! Hear ye! Paladins promise the Good Counsel School will reopen soon! People respond: no hurry!
  Avatar: *Tell the kid she should be in school.*
  Bella The Scoop: Hear ye! Hear ye! Stranger threatens kid! Town Crier unhappy! *She sticks her tongue out at you, then gets back to work*
• At one point while playing as Lohse there is an option to attempt to change the subject by haphazardly mentioning that you can swallow swords.
• One can invoke some Soundtrack Dissonance and Mood Whiplash by speaking to Lohse at the end of her personal quest and having her sing... in a room full of dead bodies and bloody pools.
• You can feed Buddy the dog Atusa's leg. He doesn't take it well and attacks you.
• Dagmare, one of the Four Sisters, lament how unlucky she is with her love life. She mentions her past lovers: Kniles, Ryker and Roost, all who have been by slain you in the previous chapters.
• One of the sourcerers in the Fort Joy caverns is an elf, whose biggest headache isn't that she's stuck in a nightmarish prison camp, but that she's hiding out with a group of children who have screaming competitions.
  Rulah: You know what they do? They play a game called 'Scream'. In this game, they see who screams the loudest. I feel the Divine's loss so sharply during 'Scream'.
• On the Nameless Isle, you can find a Sword In The Stone guarded by a quartet of automatons. Pulling the sword activates the robots, and even causes the Narrator to let out an "Uh-oh."
• If you let Fane die by not recruiting him into your party before reaching Reaper's Coast, you can find his spirit with the others below deck. You can talk to each lost character, who express various degrees of sorrow, etc. at their circumstances. Not Fane, though. He's ecstatic that he's dead — now he can spend his time observing humanity, and now no one will pester him about being a skeleton!
• The sheer unexpectedness of approaching a Fire Slug and having it suddenly snap at you in a posh woman's voice. The princess, it turns out, isn't bothered at all by being turned into a monster or waiting in a cave for a very long time; she's ecstatic to hear that Braccus Rex is dead and she can finally start courting again! As a Fire Slug.

Other

Game Master Mode with Matt Mercer

Pre-Game

• The very first player character we're introduced to is Choyper the elf, who's starting as a wayfarer because that outfit shows the most of his chest. Choyper is played by a woman, who speaks in an imitation of Joan Rivers' voice.
• Bikeman manages to get through the whole character creation without saying his character's name, and thus without telling how anyone how the hell to pronounce "Tethysthysehes."
• During the shopping spree, Choyper gets a... peculiar helmet.
  Choyper: Oh my God, this headpiece is out of control though! What would my mother say?
  Tethys: She would say 'I wish I'd eaten you and your other kin to become stronger.'
  Choyper: Ha, probably!
• Baze Beardweiser manages to get a reputation of -30 with the starting vendors

Thulkas Thicket

• When Matt asks what the players want to do when they spot something ahead:
  Tethys: I want to skitter into the bush, because I'm a goddamn lizard.
• A traveler asks the party what they're doing, and it takes a good bit before one of the players remembers they're trying to find Choyper's missing sister. And no, Dodger, Choyper's player, isn't the one who remembered.
• Choyper tries to speak to a group of attacking wolves but doesn't know what to say, to which Tethys suggests offering them wolf money. And Choyper does. Unfortunately it doesn't work, and the wolves later yell about how they have plenty of pocket change during their attack.
• Matt describes a use of Tentacle Lash as "you hentai the air."
• Everyone's reaction to Jenkins the blood goblin, as well as the little noise Bikeman makes for it.
• Baze's solution to dealing with a polymorphed wolf is to intimidate it into becoming his pet, which he names Little Coxie.
  Jesse Cox: I kneel down. And I grab the chicken on the ground.
  Matt: *realistic chicken squawk*
  Jesse Cox: And I look into his eyes.
  Matt: *noises of chickenly fear*
  Jesse: And I say-
  Baze: Chicken! Chicken. I know you were once a great wolf. Bu now? Now you're somebody's dinner. And I've got to say to ya: I can spare ya. If you just become my pet. My pet chicken.
  Matt: *laughing* Go ahead and make an Intimidation check on the chicken.
  Tethys: I think it's contemplating suicide.
• Baze gets a natural 20 to convince a goblin's pet boar Goober to abandon it's master and join the party instead, followed by Thethys's frustrated rant about all times this has happened.
  Tethys: Ever since I've started travelling with you guys, we've killed thirty-seven goblins, all of their companions, we've had three hawks, two pigs, five chickens, and twenty cows, and I'm not picking up the feces this time.

Thulkas Ruins

• Apparently someone managed to slip all the boxes, creates, and barrels from the shop at the beginning into Sir Vin-Deez's inventory, and it took him half an hour to notice the encumbrance because they're all invisible in his inventory.

Oburras Peaks

• Thethys's "snap lizard decisions."
  Matt: Do you wish to withdraw and sneak past, or approach and announce yourselves?
  Tethys: *speaking very quickly* Without consulting anyone I draw my wand and set their explosives on fire.
  • Followed by her defense of her actions:
    Tethys: Look at it this way! Consider the benefits: they might catch on fire.
  • And her reaction to the detonation:
    Tethys: This is the most glorious thing I've witnessed since the last time I set people on fire.
  • And her excuse when the party tries to claim they weren't responsible for the blast:
    Tethys: Your explosives were very clearly haunted!
• Choyper's attempt to deescalate a fight is so bad that not only does he throw up, he causes everyone on the other side and most of the people on his side to vomit in response to the sight.
• Baze tries to recruit a bull to the party and fails. No so funny... except he tries the same thing with a gigantic, furious turtle. Everyone knows this won't end well, except Baze, who remains cheerful even as it charges.
  Tethys: Look, if we all disguise ourselves as Japanese children, it won't harm us.

Durykast Graveyard

• While everyone else fights poison oozes in a crypt, Vin-Deez is wandering the graveyard still trying to find a ring.
