While Voices of the Void is primarily billed as a horror game, there are also plenty of moments that (intentionally or otherwise) can bring some levity and laughter into it.
- The presence of the ragdoll physics, and the dedicated ragdoll button, can allow the player to launch Kel around at will, or watch them faceplant onto the ground from a great height then get back up as if nothing happened.
- While the mannequins are generally unsettling, particularly the walking variants or the rare one that spawns outside your bedroom window, occasionally you'll find one sassily standing in front of a closed door with its hands on its hips, as if asking you where you think you're going.
- One of the signals you can get is simply a low-fidelity rendition of "Happy Birthday to You". This would sound ominous if it wasn't for the fact that the signal is visibly coming from Mars, meaning it's just the Curiosity Rover singing to itself.
- The Arirals are a source of this when they aren't being unsettling, as despite the paranoia of them being invisible, they'll at worst smack you around for messing with their stuff without permission rather than seriously harm you. Thus, most dealings with them just feel like dealing with the average house cat without the ability to just pick them up and put them in a pen if they misbehave, which is especially appropriate since they're feline aliens.

, who steals a light from the Ariral camp, only to realize one of them followed him home, causing an amusing chase sequence of the two throwing objects at each other until he tries to hide in a locker. The Ariral opens the locker, slaps his shit (or as some commenters interpreted it, kicks him in the nads), leaves, and when the player checks on where he left the light, it's gone. Don't steal from the cat aliens, folks, it never ends well. - One event you can get involves several eerie blue lights emanating from above the main complex. Examining it further reveals they just set up a few "light tubes" at the windows and on the roof... which is of course them poking at the fact that they do actually use their ship to alter the gravity in the main complex.
- If your reputation is low with them, they'll start taking advantage of the paranoia they're causing you by engineering different fake sightings. From planting cutouts of hopkinsville goblins on the staircase of a dish while you're busy maintaining it, to making miniature catapults to launch cutouts of greys at you, to faking an email from your superiors discussing an issue with the radio tower to get you to walk out into a trio of three dimensional greys that are still made of wood. They'll do anything for a cheap laugh, and a signal early on reveals they really are just doing this for a cheap laugh."ack ack ack teuz iz roæB" Translation
- If you throw a shrimp pack at an ariral, they will pick it up, eat it on the spot, and proceed to throw the empty package at you and knock you down.

- The fact that it's possible to find Maxwell in the game is funny enough, but Joel of Vinesauce managed to find Maxwell in the game, and upon petting them, the cat turned into a skeleton, played the opening riff of Bad to the Bone, and exploded. Joel's reaction was nothing short of a roller-coaster of shock and hilarity.
- The ending of Halloween mode. After connecting all the pumpkins, you are told to scan a signal immediately. Do so and you receive the "spooky" signal of The Skeleton Appearing, which covers the whole screen and plays its usual music.
- Kerfur Omega is known for being able to write down server hashcodes, but it can still fix the servers. How does it do this compared to the original model? By turning it off and on again now that it can reach the power switch.
- Rufus can be terrifying, but there are a few aspects that are chuckle-worthy:
- Rufus is just plain goofy-looking muppet-like creature. Also, he has a tendency to get stuck on things, especially rocks.
- The droning that accompanies Rufus' presence in the world is unnerving, but at the same time it can be amusing if you recognize it as being the same droning sound effect from the original Five Nights At Freddy's.
- The kill screen if Rufus catches you. Rather than being a clinical message from the local aliens about the status of Dr. Kel and/or the planet itself... Well, best let the message speak for itself.>Begin
skill issue
get fukced
lmao
>End - Rufus can be killed in one hit with the crowbar (which is risky but awesome and hilarious if you pull it off) or by making him step on explosives.
- There's an alternative version of Rufus called "Thiccfus". It's just Rufus but slower and with a rotund body. He also makes stuff he steps on explode.
- And lastly, the command you can use to banish Rufus? "rufus.fuckoff".
