Funny / Oddworld

Spoilers Off for moments pages. You Have Been Warned.

General

• Seriously, the ways Abe or his allies/enemies can get killed in most games, whether accidentally or deliberately, are almost guaranteed to give the player a good laugh (well, up to a point).
  • Even funnier is that Abe makes a Minor Injury Overreaction style shout each time.
  • The sound Abe makes when falling down a bottomless pit (or after being shot off the stage from the background for that matter) can qualify, as it sounds more like he is going down a slide then falling to his death.
• In the first two games, the player can actually have Abe hit a wall.

Abe's Oddysee/New 'n' Tasty!

• Abe's farts, which causes laughter in other Mudokons.
• Abe just simply says "oops" in response to a Mudokon's death. Especially funny when you're doing a run where you're killing every Mudokon you possibly can.
• The message you get when you kill every Mudokon you can possibly kill:
  Whacking all those Mudokons was no accident. You twisted creep. Molluck commends you. Enjoy your bonus...!

Abe's Exoddus

• The first time Abe opens a Bird Portal for a Blind Mudokon, said Mudokon will run right past the Portal and slam into the wall before jumping through the Portal.
• Abe farting near other Mudokons will cause them to take a step away from him. This actually can prove useful for precision manoeuvres, especially with Blind Mudokons.
• Talking of farts, Abe can use them as an explosive projectile after drinking Soulstorm Brew. Even better is that you can possess them.
• One of the Glukkon's names is "Aslik".
• When Aslik decides to tighten the security of Soulstorm Brewery, he proudly proclaims that Abe would have to be invisible to navigate the facility. Of course, this is when Abe gains the power of invisibility.
• Angry Mudokons can slap each other to death.
• "If you have any further questions, please feel free to pull the lever to your right!" Said lever drops a boulder onto you and kills you instantly.
• Possessed Glukkons walk with accompanying sound of a xylophone, and their voice commands are quite over-the-top.
• This line from Director Phleg, definitely the hammiest of the three board members:
  Director Phleg: It ain't my fault, it's that Abe guy! First Rupture Farms, now Necrum Mines! There ain't no bones ANYWHERE! No BONES, no BREW! I AM TOTALLY SCREWED! MY CAREER IS OVER! [Pathetic crying] And it's ALL that blue BASTARD'S FAULT!
• The Security Phone cutscenes are all funny but Phleg's takes the cake.
  Director Phleg: HEY! THIS IS DIRECTOR PHLEG!
  Slig: Yessir!
  Director Phleg: DISENGAAAGE OPERATION LIGHTNING BOLT!
  Slig: Eh? What?
  Director Phleg: DISARM. THE MAIN GATES!
  Slig: Oh.
  Director Phleg: DO IT, YA IDIOT!
• The three Mudokon spirits are appropriately named "The Three Weirdos".
• This cutscene when Abe is sneaking through the stock exchange;
  Glukkon 1: HEY! THAT BASTARD ABE'S HERE!
  Glukkon 2: I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO IS AT FAULT HERE!
  Glukkon 3: You're not pinnin' this on me!
  Slig: (On phone) I'm tellin' you, it's that Abe guy! Sell, dump it, lose it, just get rid of it!
  Glukkon 3: Oy...I work hard, I work hard!
  Glukkon 1: WHAT IF HE GETS TO THE BOILER?!
  Glukkon 2: The boiler?
  (Zoom in on Abe)
  Abe: The boiler?
  (Zoom out to the Glukkons)
  Glukkon 2: What are we going to do?
  (On Abe)
  Abe: The boiler!
  (Back to Glukkons)
  Glukkon 2: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!
  (Back to Abe, he grins and makes a thumbs-up at the camera)
• In the good end, as the Soulstorm Brewery goes up in flames, the Brewmaster's only concern in the face of his imminent fiery death is that he dies after finally acheiving his brewing goals.
  Brewmaster: "It's not fere. We had TWICE ZE FLAVAH!" *boom*
  • The temperature gauge he's reading doesn't bother with a reading, and just displays "OOPS".

Munch's Oddysee

• Similar to Abe's farts, Munch has the ability to burp. They both have disgusted reactions to each other's gas.
• Possessing a Slig or a Vykker allows you to infuriate other Sligs and Vykkers by yelling ridiculous insults at them. They will respond with a random insult of their own that occasionally contains a censored Sound-Effect Bleep. If you do this long enough, then they will start a fight with your possessed enemy and try to kill it.
• When Munch is surprised after learning that Gabbit eggs are sold and eaten as food products, Abe responds with: "You know what's in a Mudokon Pop?"
• The various interactions with the Mudokon Shaman.
  Outer ring, stupid! Stand on the outer ring! (if you attempt to summon him while standing in the center of the shaman circle)
  Hey, your bud's takin' a beatin'! (if you speak to him while Abe or Munch are being attacked)
  Oh that ain’t good! Looks like your buddy’s dead! (if Abe or Munch dies)
  No Respect! or "Fine. Be that way!" (if you decide to skip his monologue)
• Good ending:
  • Lulu the Glukkon's funky entrance to the Gabbiar auction, where he is dressed like a pimp. Complete with funky background music.
  • "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
  Mudokon Native: Somebody's really pissed off...
  • Abe asking Munch if he can handle all the baby Gabbits, to which Munch responds: "I don't know. I haven't thought about it."
  • After leaving Vykkers Labs, Abe lampshades the fact that facilities such as Vykkers Labs typically get destroyed after he leaves. Munch then explains to him that the Fuzzles got their own plan. Shortly after, the two Vykkers Humprey and Irwin return to the R&D room, where they see a bomb, which contains a message that says "GUESS WHO" (implicating that it was left by the Fuzzles as payback for being experimented on). They start crying before the bomb explodes, destroying Vykkers Labs.
• Some of the Daily Deception headlines. "WE'RE SCREWED!!!"
• The reaction from Glukkons after you possess them and make them lose all their money to Lulu's Fund.
• If Abe attempts to command Fuzzles, they will growl at him. If Munch attempts to command Mudokons, they will laugh at him.
• If Abe is invisible and says "Kick some booty!" while standing near Sligs, they will respond with "Yeah, we kick booty!". They also say the same thing if they kill Abe or Munch.
• If Abe or Munch die while near Mudokons, they will respond with "Aw, that's terrible" or "Oh no, that's no good"
• In the Sloghuts, you can torture Sligs by using the crane to drop them in Slog pens and watching them get chased around by Slogs.
  • Also in the Sloghuts, if a character gets caught in the meat grinder, then a cutscene shows them running for their lives before exploding into pieces of flesh that resemble chicken drumsticks.

Stranger's Wrath

• The name of Stranger's first bounty is "Blisterz Booty". He has a brother called "Boilz Booty".
• The third bounty that the Stranger brings in, The Lootin' Duke, upon hearing that he'd be sharing a cell with the aforementioned Blisterz, freaks out, screaming about how he's not going back to being Blisterz' cellmate and how he still has his "dignity".
• When Stranger needs the assistance of a snooty Clakker to get to a Bounty and is refused, he decides to tell him a joke. "You heard what the five fingers said to the face?" Stranger then punches him and threatens to tell him more jokes if he doesn't help him out.

Soulstorm

• The iconic trailer, showing the Mudokons' train heading for the brewery:
  Alf: "Holy SHIT."
• One of the items you can craft is a flamethrower, using some brew, a battery, a lighter, a steel hose, some wiring, and a fire extinguisher. The description just sells it.
  Well done. You've taken something that was designed to extinguish fires, tinkered with it and made it into something that makes fire at a prodigious rate. Your momma would be proud.
• The first cutscene to feature CEO Morguer, head of Necrum Mines, has two for the price of one.
  • Firstly, there's the Slig newsreporter commenting on Mullock's greed, noting that normally, the people of Mudos expect Glukkons to be greedy, but somehow Mullock is too greedy even for them to tolerate.
  Slig Reporter: Now, we expect Glukks to be greedy — heck, we even bank on it! But this Glukk doesn't just take the cake, he steals the whole cake delivery blimp, and then makes a run for it!
  • Secondly, when Morguer muses that maybe the Soulstorm Brew is losing its effect, his Slig security chief promptly declares that to be the most terrifying thing he's ever heard Morguer say, even given the kind of work they do.
  Morguer: Hmm... would Mullock really burn his own farm down? Or is the brew failing us?
  Slig Security Chief: Um, Mr. Morguer? I know we're in a creepy business, digging up bones and stuff, but sir? That's the most terrifying thing I have ever heard you say.
• Abe describing his encounter with the Keeper to Alf and Toby. He lets slip that the Keeper is female. Alf promptly shows his priorities by asking if the Keeper was hot. The moment, however, is sold by Toby behind him at the train controls, facepalming in the most embarrassed, exasperated manner possible.
  Abe: Alf, she was the oldest thing I've ever seen.
• No matter the timeline, Aslik is the picture of incompetence. After berating a minion for waking him up with "conspiracy theories" (ie, the ongoing issue of a Mudokon slave revolt), he settles back, puts his headphones back on to go back to his nap...and proceeds to miss the high-speed, gunfire punctuated entry of Abe's hijacked train into FeeCo Depot outside the window off to his side.
• After Mullock forces his Slig Chauffer to zip down into the Brewery to spy on Morguer, Aslik, and the Brewmaster's conversation, the Slig is... less than confident in the plan.
  Slig Chauffer: Easy. So says the guy with no f*whoosh*ing arms!
• Mullock successfully bribing Aslik and Morguer's disgruntled Slig security detail to his side behind their backs via his Slig Chauffer, exploiting the fact that the Glukkons in question were arrogant and stupid enough to stiff the guys with all the firepower. The result is a sort of parody version of Order 66. In addition, the Sligs, again via the Slig Chauffer, not-so-subtly threaten Mullock with the same fate should he stiff them as well.
  • Mullock's reaction's when the Sligs are subtly threatening him is also fairly amusing, since we see him force himself to stop mid-reply to calm down, and even then his tone is less-than-enthusiastic about having to make the promise.
  • Just before they're gunned down, you can see Morguer meekly trying to hide behind Aslik.
