    Richman 2 
  • One of the chance card does nothing to the player. Its picture shows a man surprised about nothing happens, with its text says "Nothing happens to you!"
  • Speaking of which, let's just admit that most pictures in chance cards are pretty deformed and hilarious, unlike the usually serious and gorgeous character potraits. This is true in the next game too.
  • You can (falsely) accuse anyone of a certain crime at the court without any evidence, and send them to prison if successful. The thing is, of course, that it doesn't always work and can backfire and send you into prison instead.
    Richman 3 
  • You can hear laughing sounds when something bad happens to someone.
  • Salonbus is set to speak Arabic in this game, but probably because the devs didn't know any Arabic, so what did they do? They made his dialogues pictures (such as flying cash or broken hearts) and...random signs that just read like gibberish. There is even a combination of symbols that could be very easily interpreted as Symbol Swearing.
  • Jennifer might look as beautiful as other female characters in her official artwork in the official guide, but her "Winner of the Month" portrait is something else...
  • Similar to the example above, the "bad ending" image of the characters after they go bankrupt uses a somewhat hilarious "deformed" artstyle, with some images being quite funny with context actually.

    Richman 4 
  • In the Magic Hut, one of the choices is to have the characters selected by the sorceress get 3 chance cards at once. This can lead to very hilarious results such as getting a lot of cash in a card only to lose them all in the other cards, receiving a card from each opponent and then lose them all, or getting sent to jail for weeks (even better if the character has God of Unlucky because their serving time will then be doubled). Since it's possible for the sorceress to find a common thing among all the players, it's even possible to make all players go bankrupt!
  • When Baby King is put to sleep with a Sleepwalking Card, she walks with two legs while raising her arms forwards, and her stance changes to that of a walking person's instead of a crawling baby's too!
  • John Joe shoots himself in his head when he is in the last place at the end of the month's report (if the banker does report who's in last place, because she will always report who's in first place but not always the last place).
  • Since chances happen to everyone indiscriminately (some chance events do differ by maps or what tool you are using but not by characters), one can often come to funny conclusions. For example, it's obvious that everyone has a pet dog (since everyone can be fined for having their pet dogs leaving a mess). Also, girls like Xiaomei, Wu Mhi, Candy and Baby King can apparently seduce underaged girls like themselves!
  • When paying large amounts of rents, the characters will sometimes say an alternative dialogue that shows they are angry at the renter for apparently bullying them. This doesn't happen when they lose money through other methods (gods, chances, etc).
    • 5 and 6 aren't known for having a dialogue specifically for bullying. Voice clips of these dialogues exist in the files of 7 and 8 but you can't hear them normally in-game. They then return in 10 and 11.
  • When sent to the hospital, Miyamoto would ask where the "pretty nurse" is. The thing is that, unlike other games in the series, there actually is a pretty nurse in the game! You can see her when you land on the hospital tile, and she will ask you if you want to have someone get out of the hospital early.

    Richman 6 
  • This game probably has the funniest dialogues for hospitalization in the entire series:
    • Miss Money says that she wants to go to a "high-class ward" when she is hospitalized.
    • Salonbus says that he wants to go to a "president-class ward" when he is hospitalized. Remind you that he is a chief from Arabia.
    • Wumela happily says that there are a lot of fans visiting her in the hospital when she is hospitalized. She is probably the happiest person in the hospital besides Miyamoto who keeps looking for the pretty nurse there.
      • Speaking of which, one of the news is to release everyone from the hospital. The picture shows a man, still wrapped in bandages running away from the pretty nurse!
    • Alice questions that something must be wrong because angels aren't supposed to get sick, when all of the sources of hospitalizations in this game are injuries rather than illnesses.
  • Miyamoto and Ninja reuses their Japanese lines in 4 like they did in 5 in the expansion, but because of 6's unique card sets, the dialogues often don't match what's written, or look totally out of place.
  • Characters will transform into the god when they are possessed by them in the expansion. The funny thing is that, when they are put to sleep, they will transform into pigs!
  • In Alice's ending in the expansion, she hires Ninja to defeat a monster that looks like Salonbus. Not only is this concept funny in itself, Ninja defeats him by... tossing a coin at him!

    Richman 7 
  • Beck is literally just a blend of Daniel and Beckham. He even has most of Daniel's dialogues, including very personal ones like "I'm going to tell my dad!" Like, who is Beck's dad now?
  • Although not a clone of Princess Sarah like Beck is to Daniel, Wumela has also borrowed a lot of lines from Princess Sarah. Most out-of-place one is probably "I want to be in the first class ward!". She might be a pop star, but does she really deserve it as much as a princess? Or is it because she got visited by a lot of fans in the last game?
    • In 8 where they meet each other, however, their dialogues are modified. Princess Sarah in particular loses most of her dialogues in 4.
    • In 10 where both characters also exist, they keep most of their "repeated" dialogues, although in different voices and tones.
    • In 11, their dialogues are also modified, with most of Wumela's dialogues being more loyal to 6's.
  • A Nu also has a lot of dialogues identical to Wu Mhi's, sometimes just changing the "Wu Mhi" in those dialogues into "A Nu".
    • A Nu also happily wonders where the "handsome people" are when hospitalized.
  • Some characters' endings are pretty hilarious:
    • In Ninja's ending, it's revealed that Ninja is never late because he has a very demanding girlfriend that would beat him down if he is late even by a few minutes. Ouch...
    • In Miyamoto's ending, it first appears that he will finally have a spouse and family, then we see his spouse is... an ugly woman that makes him vomit.
    • In Big Gamester's ending, he finally gets enough money to challenge the God of Gamblers, only to lose the bet.
    • In Beck's ending, he kicks so hard that one of his shoes was flung out, causing the gatekeeper to catch the shoe instead of the ball, scoring a goal for Beck.
    • In Wumela's ending, she tries to become an actor, but does it badly.
  • If Li Xiaoyao is sent to prison, he will occasionally scream for help from Zhao Ling'er. Even if it's Ling'er herself who frames him into prison!
    • What's even funnier is that Ling'er also has a line that cries for help from Xiaoyao, when she is possessed by a timed bomb. Predictably, she will also say this if the bomb was set by Xiaoyao!

    Richman 8 
  • Like other installments besides 10, everyone has a unique functioning scooter (like motorcycle or bicycles). But what about cars? They just wear a fake car around their body and run with their legs! They can somehow run even further than in their motorcycles in this way, apparently.
    • Also riding a scooter in this game will not prevent you from being mauled by a dog, but running with a fake car will.
  • Sometimes when a random News event occurs, the TV that usually shows the News will fuzz, and the Newslady will have to knock it a few times before announcing the News.
  • The penguin in the memory game will wave its pickaxe quickly as if having a breakdown if you get a bad result.
  • You can seal any god and NPC with a Seal Card and then use it on anyone. Naturally, you will want to use good gods and transformations on yourself and bad gods on others, but you can actually do it the other way around and get some funny results:
    • When being used good god cards on by someone else, the character will appear confused but happy. When being used on the God of Property Card, the character will have an angry character potrait! Their reactions range from being overjoyed to thinking the God of Property is "too old or ugly", which is ironic considering how even themselves agree that God of Property is the best god and like them at other times.
    • When used bad god card on oneself, the character will usually admit their misfortune, trying to find excuses for making such an obvious mistake, or just complain about their current situation. However, Ninja outright Breaks the Fourth Wall by saying "Did I just click on something wrong?"
    • The reactions when being used on Thief, Police or Dog Card differ largely, and the characters' actual emotions often don't match the character potrait that shows up, which makes things even more hilarious.
  • The court from 2 and 3 is back, and you can also accuse opponents to be sent into prison (or backfire and make you sent to prison instead) or fine them.
  • In Story Mode, characters will have a brief conversation when they meet each other. Some dialogues can really make one give at least a giggle:
    • When Lanai runs into Salonbus, Salonbus says that he is so obsessed with Miss Money that he will not accept anyone else even before Lanai begins speaking, causing the latter to yell at him.
    Salonbus: No matter how hard you try, I will always care about Miss Money and only her!
    Lanai: What's wrong with you?
    • In Miss Money's Story Mode, at Stage 2, if Saudi Arabia is chosen, and Miss Money runs into Salonbus twice, she will ask Salonbus if he is really going to do anything to prove that he truly loves her. Salonbus decides to let Miss Money immidiately win this round, and Miss Money finds it about just right.
    • When looking for new people to recruit for her movie acting, Wumela says that she doesn't want to recruit Xiaomei because she is too young and she doesn't want to hire a minor, but is somehow OK with hiring Baby King, a literal baby, for the sequel of Home Alone. It's very possible that she admires Baby King while looks down on Xiaomei in this case.
    • When talking to Wu Mhi, Tuu Zed initially says that he is the grandfather of October before correcting himself.
  • Like 7, a lot of endings are funny to watch:
    • In Miss Money's ending, she gets diamond teeth, but ends up damaging her jaws and falling to the ground.
    • In Salonbus' ending, he enters a weigh-losing program, only to be disliked by Miss Money more for having no money as he spent all of his money on weigh-losing.
    • In Xiaomei's ending, she opens a new restaurant with her money, but forgets to hire chefs working for her, and she comes to the realization that her new restaurant won't last long and she would have to go back to circus performance again.
    • In Wu Mhi's ending, she forgets where her home is on the plane.
    • In Wumela's ending, she has to dress up as the Monster for her next movie as the Monster is working at the circus with Kimchi.
    • In Coolva's ending, after capturing King Octopus with James, she starts to be obsessed with capturing criminals... by capturing anyone who looks like King Octopus as a butler!
    • In James's ending, he decided to save the world from big threats as a superhero, then fly away after transforming, only to be hit by the solid ceiling in the building and falls back to the floor.
    James: Who made this solid ceiling of this house and plot against me? That sneaky person!

    Richman 4 Fun 
  • One of the first newcomers in 4 Fun, Jeremy, certainly isn't a blend of Beck and basketball player Jeremy Lin!
  • Since 4 Fun reuses voicelines from previous titles, one will expect the banker’s voiceline from 8 being used for characters debut there when she announces the winner of the month. It uses host King Octopus’ voicelines when announcing stages for the characters’ names instead.
  • When a character is asleep (either under hibernation or sleepwalk effect) and something that would trigger them to say something happens, they would use their sleeping quote instead. The funny thing here is that, a lot of characters' sleeping quotes are also actual dialogues (usually something like sleep talking, saying that they are not drowsy, or asking others not to wake them up) rather then snoring or groaning sounds, which means they will say this when being put to sleep, then repeat this dialogue every time they are attacked or when something happens to them. Even funnier if you attack the character multiple times, in which they will keep saying the quote.
  • Since this game contains all cards (besides time machine) from 4 plus a few new ones, it's inevitable that some characters from any previous installments do not have a proper line for a specific card. They would usually use a random happy line for these cards. Special mention goes to what characters from 8 says when they use Sleepwalking Card (despite the fact that in 8 there is the God of Confusion Card, which has almost every character say something about sleepwalking):
    • Igloo says "close your eyes", which sounds normal... until you realize that this is actually the dialogue he says when he is being used on God of Confusion Card in original game.
    • Lanai just casually says "Um...nice".
    • Wedensday says "What is sleep?", which also soudns normal. However, it's hard to not chuckle a bit when you find out that the original voiceline was used for when he is used on Audit and asks what is tax (since sleep and tax has the same pronounciation in Chinese). Fun with Homophones, huh?
  • The infamous "Sell all cards and items" chance card is also in this game, and it can happen to characters who don't have cards. If this happens, an empty dialogue box will pop up, with the character saying the quote they would say when they use Sleepwalking Card.
    • This in turn makes Lanai act a bit more normally when this happens.

    Richman 10 
  • Hibernation Card is nerfed so that it can only put 1 player to sleep per use, but Candy still says that everyone else is sleeping when using it.
    Candy: I'm the only one awake in this sleeping world!
  • Since characters use the same dialogue when they step on a mine, bomb or a dog, they would sometimes refer to the dog as an explosive or saying that someone is delibrately attacking them. This is still true in 11.
  • One of the chances is that the character falls asleep for some days. The thing is that, you can still trigger chances when sleepwalking, and it's possible to trigger this chance when you're sleepwalking and walk into the chance tile, so your sleepwalking character becomes "sleeping". As if they aren't asleep already.

    Richman 11 
  • A lot of dialogues' texts are modified in the Chinese language possibly due to Chinese censorship to include fewer things about actually harming or framing people. However, the English and Japanese subtitles and voices still contain such things. For example, Xiaomei will say "Stop framing me!" when someone uses a Frame Card on her, but the Chinese texts literally translates into "Don't bother me!" Some of these dialogues can look really funny.
    • However, even this doesn't seem to be done completely. In the same example above, you can see other characters saying the exact word of "frame" in the Chinese texts, making you wonder why the specific change has to be made on Xiaomei's dialogue when it's not really harmful after all.
    • Even funnier is that due to the censorships, all mentions of thieves are referred as monkeys!
  • Miyamoto's portrait when he's hospitalized now "properly" shows him smiling.
  • About everything in the WeGame version of 11:
    • The news where a thief steals your cards now really shows a monkey.
    • The Snatch Card is now "Harvest Card" where your opponent (unwillingly) gives you a card after you make some advertisements to them.
    • Similarly, the Audit Card is now "Lobby Card" where you somehow force the opponent to pay some cash to you after you make a speech.
    • The jail is now a school where characters will be forced to study there.
    • The changes made to minigames are absolutely hilarious. The bombs in most games are now balls so if you get them into baskets or get hit by them you'll lose despite them being colorful and harmless, but special mention goes to the former bomb game where you now try to avoid red coins, with the bomb in the background replaced with a balloon copy of the bomb character, and it even looks feminine!
