The Game

  • Capital B has a GIANT GOLDEN STATUE of himself in his building, one of SEVERAL...and asks that Doctor Quack's statue (a tiny little speck compared to the several feet tall golden statue) be removed because it was "casting an awkward shadow."
  • Laylee wants a 80/20 split for profits...in her favor of course. Seems Kazooie is reborn after all.
  • In Tribalstack Tropics, there's an NPC who asks you to save her from being cooked and eaten. Said character is a skeleton, prompting the pot that is boiling her to remark that they'd need a character a bit more fleshed out than her for that.
  • One Pagie found in Tribalstack Tropics is found in a Cagie near some blowers that doesn't seem to open at all, so Yooka asks if it can just slide through the bars. It promptly smacks face first into the bars instead of going sideways like one would logically expect.
    • In the final world, Galleon Galaxy, another Pagie appears in a Cagie that won't open. This time, after Yooka and Laylee ask if it can get out by sliding sideways through the bars, it just...does. Cue incredulous ranting from Laylee at how the Pagies could have just done this the entire time, instead of the duo having to go through a set of convoluted challenges. The Pagie responds that the reason why it - and all other Pagies - never done this before, was because "the Cagies are so comfortable."
      • Similarly, one Pagie you collect in the Hub World, runs away from you after you open its Cagie, leaving the duo to comment that "at least it didn't develop Stockholm Syndrome."
  • Upon meeting Nimble, a living cloud who challenges Yooka and Laylee to a race, Yooka makes a joke about "cloud-based gameplay."
  • During Brrreeze Blok's fight when you damage him enough, he lampshades his Boss-Arena Idiocy.
    Brrreeze Blok: I knew buying that 'scorchberry' bush would come back to haunt me!
    • And then his Final Speech once you defeat him.
      Brrreeze Blok: Tell my family I went out doing what I loved...Firing projectiles at an interspecies buddy-duo.
  • When you learn the Buddy Bubble technique. Basically farting out a bubble so you can breathe and walk underwater.
    Laylee: Urgh!
    Yooka: Is there a more erm, socially acceptable method for walking underwater, Trowser?
    • A Pagie in Glitterglaze Glacier requires you to use this technique on Tubbz the hot tub in order to give him bubbles. Afterwards, he thanks you but also mentions that the bubbles left a funny taste in his mouth.
  • The banker in Capital Cashino is Capital B in a Paper-Thin Disguise, much as he tries to deny it. Yooka and Laylee take the opportunity to insult him to his face, and all he can do is pretend he's not the obvious.
  • In Galleon Galaxy, Yooka and Laylee can transform into a galleon with cannons. One of the people who needs help is a moonlet with an itch. So, being good guys, you use your cannon to scratch the itch... only to blow the poor moonlet to pieces. The background music stops and the camera pulls back a little, just to silently emphasize the gamer's thought of "...did that just happen?"
    Yooka: Oh, Laylee... What have you done?
    Laylee: Me? I thought you were the one controlling the cannons!
  • One of the pagies in Hivory Towers requires knocking over a set of giant books onto a switch. Their name? Capital Bee: Domino Edition.
  • After a long final battle against Capital B, Yooka and Laylee confront him and Dr. Quack one last time in Capital B’s office. How are they finished off? Blasto, a talking cannon who lives next to Yooka and Laylee’s home, suddenly enters the office out of nowhere looking for first aid because of something in his throat. It ends up being a cannonball that knocks Capital B and Dr. Quack onto a conveniently placed Grand Tome that closes on them.
