See here and here for funny moments in the sequels.
- Though much of the time spent in Santa Destroy is deliberately meant to be as tedious as possible, many of the NPCs lines of dialogue make it more than enjoyable. Many of them treat busy work as if it's some sort of ritual to appease the gods!
- Another great moment came in four words: "Mister Sir Henry Motherfucker". Too perfect.
- During the trip across the beach to fight Holly Summers, Travis destroys multiple electric fences, and as he tries to walk over them, the game shows a cutsene where he steps on a land mine and gets blown a few feet away. After he destroys the last one, we see a cutsene where he almost puts his foot on a landmine, stops, smirks as if to say "not falling for that again" and steps over the mine... only to step right on another one. Cue Skyward Scream.
- Just before said trip, there's the look on Travis' face as he's rubbing suntan lotion on Sylvia's leg.
- In the cutscene before you fight Holly Summers, she throws three grenades into a pit with Travis inside it (complete with cartoonish whistling noises). Holly then casually waves as Travis is launched into the air with three explosions while he lets out a rather girly scream.
- Admittedly the result of a Good Bad Bug on Bitter, one player had Travis pull off a wrestling move on a Mook during the Bad Girl boss fight. During this time, Travis had thrown his beam katana skyward. When Travis was then knocked out of this by Bad Girl using another Mook for her Fastball Special, he stood up without his katana. He was then able to beat Bad Girl with Travis apparently using nothing at all to charge beam attacks and slash her to pieces. Travis didn't get it back until the cutscene after. Guess Sylvia wasn't kidding when she said to "Trust your Force!"
- Speaking of Bad Girl, if you're smart enough not to fall for her One-Hit Kill Wounded Gazelle Gambit move, she'll shout a petulant little "Fuck!" as she gets back up.
- Some of Travis' problems with the Beef Head video store, from returning a video of someone, possibly Travis himself, getting it on with a pillow to a botched attempt at recording a naughty video and returning the copy to the store.
- The death wails of the many Mooks Travis slaughters throughout his adventures, including "MY SPLEEN!", "MOMMA!" and "I'M STILL A VIRGIN!"
- On your way to fight Shinobu, you'll encounter a mook who'll activate a sprinkler, causing Travis' beam katana to short circuit and electrocuting Travis in turn. The result: Travis is continually shocked into an unstoppable waddle, unable to attack the incoming goons, with the background music sped up.
- Travis trying to block Dr. Peace's bullet by hitting it out of Destroy Stadium like a baseball, though when the bullet makes contact with the beam katana, the force of the impact sends Travis flying a good 50 or so feet and crashes into the wall, Looney Tunes style.
- Speed Buster trying to fix her Wave-Motion Gun by kicking it after Travis puts it out of commission.
- The ENTIRETY of the fight with Harvey Volodarkski, mostly based on his OUTRAGEOUS Accent, and the fact he's so Affably Evil. Here's a gem of line in the prefight scene (right after he calls Travis to the stage as a "volunteer").Harvey: Tell the audience your name!
Travis: Travis Touchdown. It's a good name, dont'cha think?
Harvey: It's a fine name indeed! You have your parents to thank for that!
Travis: My Parents Are Dead. (smiles)
(beat)
Harvey: Oo-WHOOPS!!! Touchy subject!- And even though this inevitably led to one of the LEAST funny and Scariest parts of the whole game, Harvey's initial Freak Out over Travis blinding him is darkly amusing:
Harvey: AAAH!!! IT'S DARK! SOMEBODY TURN ON THE LIGHTS!! I CAN'T SEE SHIT!!!- If Travis escapes from the death trap during his duel with Harvey, the two immediately stop the fight to wave at and bow for the audience before resuming the duel. The audience which, might we add, only consists of Sylvia and hundreds of empty seats.
- Lose a weapons clash with Harvey and he will turn your beam katana into a magic wand that looks like it could be used by a protagonist in a Magical Girl show. Made funnier if Travis happens to be wearing his Bizarre Jelly outfit.
- Lose a weapon clash with Bad Girl and she’ll nail Travis in the crotch. She simply stands there as he recoils in pain.
- The entire ending is a riot, as the game dips straight into medium-aware surreality for its final moments, with characters conversing about delaying the game and raising its ESRB rating further while calling each other out on surprisingly convenient plot revelations so close to the end.
- Speaking of the ending, Jeane concluding her disturbing backstory with a cheerful "That's my story", all while Travis looks on in shock.
- If you slowed down the footage you'll find out that Travis became visibly shocked and horrified not when Jeane tells him they were half-siblings, not when she said that their father molested her multiple times, but when she told Travis that their dad kept her in a rotten appartment.
- And then comes the True Ending
- Firstly, when an assassin breaks into Travis' bathroom to take his rank.
Travis: You gotta be shittin' me!- Then, Henry's response to Travis after the latter thanks him for saving him.
Henry: You're a disgrace to yourself, and all those you've killed.- After the Final-Exam Boss, comes a bunch of ass pulls out of nowhere. Namely, the fact that Silvia is Henry's wife...and Travis and Henry are twin brothers. Followed up by Travis berating Henry for waiting until the end of the game to reveal these bombshells...which it turns out Henry was trying to tell him back in his debut, but Travis interrupted him!
- And even then, Henry tells Travis that he has to end the game because Travis is the protagonist and Henry's just the "cool and handsome foil who happens to be your twin brother".
- And then, after the Bolivian Army Ending and credits,Silvia appears and makes fun of the ending, and says that it's too bad there won't be a sequel...which ending up being a complete and total lie.
- The chilling boss intro text-to-speech voice having to say Harvey’s full name, Moiseiwitsch is kind of a mouthful for someone that raspy.
- Every so often, when you go into Travis's bedroom, you can see Jeane the cat holding onto a blade of the ceiling fan and spinning around at high speed.
