Funny / Double Dragon Neon

• Marian getting cold-clocked being the first scene of the game, and Billy's slightly exasperated "Marian! Aw, man; not this again."
  • What really makes that scene is the freeze frame right on the moment of impact and the funky mission bumper music playing.
  • Even funnier, If you decide to enable damage numbers, the gut punch that Marian gets at the beginning of almost every Double Dragon game is 999 damage!
• Skullmageddon's 80's Skeletor voice.
  Skullmageddon: Damn I'm humerous!
• Williams' lines.
  "There's more where I came from!"
  "I'll never die!" (As he's dying)
  (Coming at you with a cartwheel kick) "Gymnastics!"
  • Whenever you knock a Williams who is looking down a bottomless pit into said bottomless pit.
    "I wonder what's down there..."
• In Bro-Op, you can revive the other player by standing near their downed body and mashing the button. The graphic they use for this? A pencil going into the spokes of a mixtape and frantically winding it back onto the spools.
• Skullmageddon's Bad Boss tendencies, especially when you break his TV's.
  "This is coming out of Williams' salary! ALL OF THEM!
  "THAT'S A PLASMA SCREEN! That's expensive!"
  "Williams, I'm docking your pay for this!"
  "WILL YOU STOP destroying my things?!"
• While in Skullmageddon's rocket-dojo, Billy and Jimmy end up outside. How do they survive? By holding their breath of course! But not before making a one-liner about there being no air then sucking in air, WHILE THEY'RE IN SPACE.
• The title of the Mission 6 boss: The Expensive Experiment Giant Tank. Then you blow it up.
• Mission 7's intro:
  "What is this? Some kind of lab?"
  Mission 7: Some Kind of Lab *funky music*
• In the countryside, when you destroy the monuments, Billy shouts "Sacrilegious!" in the same excited way he'd shout "Awesome!"
• When you get close to the weak point of the Giant Tank, Skullmageddon asks why they even installed one.
  "IDIOTS! Don't let them near the glowing red weak point! (beat) Why does it even HAVE a weak point??? Couldn't you have put a cover on it??!?"
• After defeating the Tank, rather than the standard "Billy and Jimmy move forward to Skullmageddon's palace", the tank knocks down the Killacopter, causing it to crash into the tank. This creates a massive explosion that knocks Billy and Jimmy out. Skullmageddon, clearly a little confused, quickly tells his mooks to capture the brothers Lee.
• The fourth wall-breaking ending credits song ("Dared to Dream") to Double Dragon Neon, wherein Skullmageddon sings about being defeated by the Lee brothers. The funniest part comes at the 1-minute mark, when he sings "Here's a medal for your victory" and the Achievement Unlocked/Trophy Unlocked dialogue pops up.
  • He's got plenty of other moments as well:
    • Right after you press start for the first time in the 360 version, you get an achievement called Skullmageddon's Curse that's worth 1 GS, with the description "Nyah ha ha! Now finish what you have started!": a lot of people like to keep their GS divisible by 5 and the score can only be evened out by getting the achievement described above, which involves defeating him.
    • Right before you encounter him for the first time, you can find a hair pick from a barrel: if you throw it at him, it'll pin down his hat on his head, making it so that he can't use any attacks that involve removing it until he takes it off while complaining how he could be done in by such a mundane item.
    • When trying to kill the Lee brothers with a helicopter, he's heard saying "Of course helicopters can fly upside-down; don't be ridiculous. SHRED THEM!" and then proceeds to do just that.
    • If you pause the game while fighting him, he comments on it in a variety of ways:
      "Oh fine, just pause the game!"
      "I was just about to swing my sword!"
      "I'm flashing orange so quickly! Quick, just hit me a few more times!"
      "When I'm about to swing my sword, just punch me and I'll stop! I'll save you a trip to the Internet!"
• Skullmageddon's summation of Billy and Jimmy's tirade to rescue Marian.
  Skullmageddon: Nyaaaaaaaa—YOU! You've taken my pride, you scrapped my Rocket-Dojo, laid waste to my laborotory, broke my televisions, and murdered countless Williamses! All I wanted was a date! This. Ends! NOW!
• The "Forbidden Moves" you can perform, which involve one bro crouching behind an enemy and the other pushing them over him.
• The Bros have some great lines.
  (Knifing an enemy) "Knife to meet you!"
  (Hitting with a baseball bat) "Hole in one!"
  (Hitting an enemy with a pistol) "I just hocked a luger!"
  "Better hold our breath. This is a hard vacuum!" (And they proceed to do just that)
• Mecha Biker also has some good lines.
  (at the start of the battle) I feel crazy!
  (after killing the Bros) Hey, buddy, I do what I want!
  (after having his bike destroyed) Being on-foot sucks!
• Training Wheels is easily one of the funniest mixtapes.
  "Dad took off my training wheels!
  Boy oh boy, how great it feels!
  In no time, I'm cruisin' around!
  Immediately fell and smashed my teeth out!
  Fractured my jaw!"
  • The mixtapes on the whole. Many of them are pitch-perfect parodies of '80s hits and bands, to the point of qualifying on that alone, but by far, the standout is "Weapons Up," a verbose, T-rated pastiche of "Fuck The Police" with Kaufman himself on vocals.
  I dislike law enforcement with a vengeance!
  They're just bullies with the worst of intentions!
  Just the thought gets me and my friends so mad,
  Gonna find a cop and kick him in the gonads!
• In Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, the Key occuped your subweapon slot until you found the correspondent lock and had very little range in spite of somehow hitting four times as hard as the whip. Attempting to Item Crash it still worked as a dodge but would result in Richter looking confused. Double Dragon Neon has its own Key as a Shout-Out to that, but this one really is worthless as a weapon: not only it does little damage but the Bros have a several seconds long uninterruptible animation where they push the key, attempt to unlock thin air and then gesture with spread arms in complete confusion.
• Per Word of God when the game was run at SGDQ 2013, "We played it completely straight up until that point," with "That point" being Skullmageddon's intro.
