Funny / The Letter

Go To

  • Ash's ringtone, good lord. It's especially funny considering Ash's personality and employment. One would never expect he'd use something so ridiculous.
    (rapping) 'Sup, I'm Ash! From D-Lux City!
    Bad Guys, watch out
    Can't beat me
    Lookin' for trouble?
    Better not lie
    I'm a cool dude
    Pretty fly for an Asian guy
    • The first time you hear it is at a formal open house at the Ermengarde Mansion, much to Ashton and Isabella's embarrassment. As Ash fumbles to try and answer it and/or silence the ringer, Isabella makes her way over to him and yells at him. She then notes how she would regret not capturing what happens next on her phone as in a rare instance of catching Ash off-guard, he jumps in surprise, lets out a girlish yelp, and loses his grip on his phone, which loudly clatters to the floor after a few failed attempts to catch it.
    • It appears on the official game OST, the trailer for which is made pretty funny in its own right, after being played previews of all the other lovely instrumental pieces from the game, then hear this play at the end.
  • Isabella's equally funny voice mail:
    Isabella: Um… Becca? How do you—-?
    Becca: Press this button here… you've already started recording!
    Isabella: Oh, okay! Thanks! Hmm, let's see… (beat) Hello, there! Isabella Santos here! Sorry you missed me. Just leave a message after the beep, and I'll get back to you soon. Thank you!
    (muffled background laughter)
    Isabella: (annoyed) Shut up, Ashton.
    Ash: (gleeful) I wasn't going to say anything—- (pained) Oof!
    Isabella: I can hear you 'thinking' about it! Zach, Ash is—!
    Zach: A'ight, kids, settle down before you break anything——
    • Zachary and Rebecca's respective voicemails have their own gems as well. Zach mentions if it's Ash calling, for him to not lock pick his way into his apartment, and instead call him like a decent human being if he's not there, and for Rebecca, she mentions if it's Isabella calling, she is permitted to reheat the food in her fridge.
  • All of the referenced Noodle Incidents. ALL OF THEM.
    • The Devlin Case. Isabella found a dead body stuffed inside a couch during her first assignment as a real estate agent. Ashton in particular still likes to tease her about it.
    • Ash's infamous cooking disasters, the most notable being an unspecified pressure cooker incident, and one instance where he nearly burned down Isabella's kitchen...while making a SALAD.
    • During Ash and Becca's younger years, Ash at one point crossdressed.
  • How Ash greets Zach at the theater:
    Ashton: 'Sup, Z-Man! My main man! What's crackalakin', my homey?
  • After Rebecca arrives at the theater to meet up with her friends, she first turns to Isabella to fret over her injury, having received a call from Rose explaining what happened. Isabella opts to use Zach as a human shield to avoid Becca. Watching the scene play out in Becca's chapter, you get to see Isabella's character zip across the screen to hide behind Zach.
  • In Isabella's chapter, if you choose to go with Ash to speak with Prof. Andrew Clark, at one point during the talk, the professor brings up a few interesting tidbits on Ash back when the latter was still his student that Ash never mentioned to Isabella. Despite Ash's quiet protests, Prof. Clark continues to share more at Isabella's request and Ashton's deepening embarrassment. In Ashton's chapter, one later learns that Ash views Prof. Clark not just as a teacher and mentor, but as surrogate father figure, so the scene comes off as an Amazingly Embarrassing Parents moment. It gets even funnier on the story routes that have Ash and Isabella enter a romantic relationship, as it more or less doubles as Ash introducing his crush to his father figure, who then proceeds to embarrass him in front of her.
  • Depending on the character you're playing as, the names of other characters you speak with will be different, like nicknames as opposed to full names depending on the relationships or familiarity between the characters. Some of them are just outright hilarious.
    • For Isabella, whenever she gets irritated with Ash, his name will appear as Ash-hole.
    • For Ashton, Luke only appears as Scumbag. For good reason, as you later learn, but still funny all the same.
    • At one point in Rebecca's chapter, Luke is dubbed "Sleazy Douche".
    • For Marianne, Ash is dubbed "Asian Joe", "Asian Guy", and "Holmes"; Luke appears as "Whiskey", which is what he was drinking at the bar they met in.
  • Becca decking Luke in the head with a book in Czarsbucks. You also have the option to later "Kick him where it hurts".
  • Some of the games' Video Game Cruelty Potential options are pretty chuckle-worthy.
  • Some of the achievement names are pretty funny too:
  • Whenever Luke or Marianne are drunk, mostly thanks to amazing performances of their respective voice actors.
    • When Ash and Marianne meet in her chapter, she mocks his jacket which at least some of the players noticed.
  • Gregor/G, the bartender, likes to share the story in graphic detail of a case Ash once had where a man gouged out his own eyeball and ate it to get unruly customers to leave, give them advice about "knowing their limits", or just a good laugh.
    • G also recalls a time when someone gave Ash “the hard stuff,” which resulted in Zach having to haul an almost half-naked Ash out of G’s pub.
