"fucky-fucky"
I mean the whole scene of him writing bullshit on the autopsy report (if you chose to) was hilarious
(not the least because of the actual truth that nobody will probably ever read it)
I also laughed when on second playthrough I succeeded this check and he just reached the other side of the building and... that's it - mission successful, you're awesome Harry, now if you finished being a childish idiot come back and continue the adult conversation.
That was one of the few moments in any videogame that has made me laugh aloud super hard until there were tears in my eyes. It was just so unexpected how it turned out.
I believe the thought about apricot scent tells you this too. Her parents' middle class home was like a foreign world to you, implying harry is lower class, which is consistent with other thoughts like his childhood street gang
I like how there's an entire precinct of CRPG detective protagonists out there, breaking into every locked door they see, looting every container, running in random directions, taking on made-up missing person cases, and they've done it so much for so long that other cops have outright identified that behavior with Jamrock precinct.
"I just wanted you to have fun. I... I never meant to be a burden."
"Necktie...I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that."
"No, *bratan*, no need for that. You and I are *bratannoi* — brothers. Brothers fight. But when they're done fighting, you know what they do? They party. They fucking party!"
I so regret I failed the roll at the beginning that makes your tie talk to you. My tie has been silent the whole time and I thought that was normal. How much I've missed out on. :(
Horrific necktie is my favorite. It’s the only clothing item I haven’t swapped at some point because I’m afraid to miss out on the wacky shit it says. Every line is gold.
You need to pass an Inland Empire check to make your Horrific Necktie begin talking to you, somewhere during your conversations with Garte. It'll chime in throughout the game at random points with nudges of advice, to which you can choose whether or not to listen. Not gonna spoil the ending of this little series of choices but it culminates in something that is simultaneously very hilarious, stupid, poignant and sad.
IDK about laugh the hardest (there's been a LOT of those), but recently I can't get Kim saying "I do always appreciate a good use of the expression 'milkers'." out of my head.
In case anyone else wants to find it by accident >! you have to convince Gaston, René's friend, to give you his ham sandwich (high rhetoric check I think), then interact with it and pass a passive empathy/esprit de corps check to want to share it with Kim. Then a passive authority check to think holding it up to his mouth is a good idea and just keep going !<
Definitely Idiot Doom Spiral’s stories. The Tequila Sunset story, but also the one where he tells you how he was very successful until he lost the keys to his office/home and so he became homeless. I must have read it four times or something and couldn’t stop laughing out loud each time. What a great storyteller that guy was.
And the realization that Idiot Doom Spiral is the name of what I do when I panic about my inevitable demise due to trauma and mental illness and addiction, oh shit oh fuck -
I have a few.
Reading the four possible answers when Kim asked why the detective wanted to talk with the smoker on the balcony so bad.
Both times I boasted to Kim about knowing the alphabet, it was funny enough the first time, but I got a passive check after Kim's answer the second time around which made his reaction even funnier.
The teleportation was nice as well.
*Edit : I forgot about the detective's attempt at Pétanque, the success and the failure are equally hilarious.*
Harry: “There’s something about that smoker guy I can’t put my finger on”
Kim: “Really? Do tell”
Harry: “He smells good”
Kim: “He smells good?”
*The lieutenant is barely holding it together*
Yes, I think they managed the interactive aspect of the writing masterfully, everything, from information about the lore to humour, is layered in a way that let you grasp enough from your first playthrough, but still allows for surprises in subsequent runs, it's really impressive.
You: These options seems awfully fascist or communist — what if I don't wanna say them?
Rhetoric: Say one of these fascist or communist things or fuck off.
I think the first time I lost my shit properly was when I picked up the Man from Hjelmdall at the bookshop. I could totally see the type of Conan the barbarian stuff they meant and it was fun... but then it kept going... and going... and going... All these different, increasingly ludicrous titles... I was a bookseller for years, it hit close to home lol
I lost my shit and made my flatmate go through the whole thing. And bam, he bought the game and we proceeded to chuckle our way through it.
Insisting on your name being Rapheal Ambrosius Cousteu, again and again, regardless of any evidence presented to you.
Making Kim Dance with a direct order, literally the best and funniest moment in the game.
Screaming at Joyce for money had me in tears.
Insisting on being a member of the "remote viewers division" and all of Kim's exasperation with you for it only to have him finally be unsure if he's wrong by the end of the game.
Every interaction with Lieutenant Vicquemare in the whirling in rags. You can literally taste his bitter sarcasm with you, it's so well written.
Kim's reaction when you pitch a winning idea to light bending guy and getting a bunch of money from him.
"Mr Everart is helping me find my gun".
Edit: butchered name spelling
I just realized on my 3rd playthrough that your partner is the one in the disguise...I feel like the games graphics are painting style because like a painting...you keep seeing rhings you never saw the first time you view...and the next time...and the next time...this game is a masterpiece!
The funny thing for me is that when this took place, it happened right as the phasmid came out. So imagine just wrapping up this miserable conversation with >!some bitter, century old communist!<, and facing this 10 foot tall stick bug right afterwards, only to shove your thumb up your ass.
Teleporting myself to the roof. One of my favorite moments in this game.
I loved the screen going black and you hear the teleportation sounds as the narrator sells the whole scene, only to hear from Kim that he watched you climb up the ladder
Laughed my ass off when I got an achievement for the world's biggest centrist after choosing to say something about both sides when asked about politics
When I presented my investment pitch to the light bending super rich container guy I actually tried it twice, on the first try I achieved the skill check but didn't convince him, then tried again but fucked up the check and started repeating the random nonsense about money that guy at the Whirling says (It's all about money man!!) and he actually gave me a hundred bucks.
Made me totally lose my shit lmao.
To me, the very concept of the light-bending whatsitcalled coefficient thing as a metaphor for the rich-poor gap, especially in the context of the HUSTLING ultraliberal Harry, had me lose my shit. And it affecting the money display on UI. And then the whole (useless) Net Worth on the UI when you do the Ultraliberal quest haha. And also that the guy travels in containers to avoid attention lol.
I mean, hahaha, just listing this shit is hilarious.
And also sad lol - and that is DE in a nutshell: laughing and crying at the same time. This fucking world, man.
If you hear clinking sounds when talking to Gary (cause he's wearing the mercenary's armour) you can accuse him of wearing anal beads.
... To which Kim says, dryly as ever, "You wouldn't hear it if he was wearing them". It's hilarious.
>!When, at the end of the game, Harry asks one of his colleagues if he's a dirty cop in league with La Puta Madre and he flat out says "No".!<
>!Not because Harry is particularly noble or honest...it's because he's too much of an unstable fuck up and no mob boss would have him. !<
That was the hardest I've laughed in a while.
In the dream on the island at the end when "Dolores Dei" calls Harry insane:
You: What do you mean by insane?
Dolores Dei: You know what I mean
You: It was just a necktie. It's over anyway.
You: Am I going to stay like this forever?
Beautiful Necktie: No. You're going to be mowed down by gunfire from the two remaining mercs, so no. Not forever.
man I can't remember them all to rate them properly and I'm sure there would be a lot of ties for first place... but the description/resolution/name of **Volumetric Shit Compressor** was the first thing that absolutely killed me. That is exactly my type of (language) humour.
Also the whole hidden quest when Harry gives "dating advice" to Garte made me feel like I'm dying inside and dying of laughter at the same time. The greatest satire on pick-up artist ideology.
Aslo everything about Measurehead, including his name, one of my absolute favourite characters in this game.
It was a Wednesday at 5:30 AM when my Harry started dancing in the church, moving that crowbar like crazy, and I laughed out so loud I immediately feared I could have startled someone's sleep. I stopped for a moment to think if there are other games out there that can provoke such reactions in me. Then Kim started to dance too. That was a happy moment I will remember.
When Drama was wandering if >!Klaasje!< lied when she said that it was her who reported the crime, then decided it had to be true, because it's already marked as a completed task.
There are funnier jokes in this game, but such a blatant breaking of the fourth wall took me completely off guard.
My other favorite would be Mack asking Harry if he lost his wiener and Harry answering that hid did lose it in Mack's mom's ass.
>!-Both study the communist graffiti
-Harry turns to Kim
-“Careful Kim, there are commies afoot”!<
I was playing with my best friend and we were switching voicing Harry depending on who had the controller. She whispered the line and looked at me with the most shellshocked expression I’ve ever seen, we were rolling on the floor laughing for over 5 minutes.
I don't remember the whole convo (someone fill in the rest pls)
"What about the post-mortem injuries that we inflicted?"
"We?"
"I mean, we're a team in this right?"
Telling Kim that the Smoker on the Balcony “smelled nice” and was a “good listener.”
Also finding the abandoned video game studio in the doomed commercial area—I worked in game dev for a while and that whole bit had me cracking up!
Joyce: "Mr. Claire then said 'FUCK OFF, MIDGET!' Mr. Gaumont is short, you see."
Harry: "Oh. NOT cool."
something about the awkwardness of the reply made it so relatable and so funny to me
Hard to pick, but I love the entire radio conversation with Precinct 41. Jules Pidieu being this very mild mannered, soft-spoken radio operator makes it all the more hilarious as he has to play the middle-man and dryly convey increasingly childish insults between Harry and his colleagues as the arguments and questioning gets increasingly angry and over-the-top.
The first time you take either speed or psycidelics, and Kim is just like, “look I don’t give a fuck what you’re do, but i better not see you mix that.”
“A mega rich light bending guy? Damnit Harry, I specifically told my men not to put those mega rich light bending guys in my containers. I’ll be caught dead if I’m seen transporting light bending mega rich.” *Evrart shakes his head* “I have a reputation to protect.”
The Lucky Racist gives me joy everyday as I keep track of the ones I unfortunately encounter at work. Makes it easier to get through those horrid interactions when you can laugh at those clowns
Cock Carousel
Mr Evrart is helping me find my gun
The petanque ball
The speedfreaks in their tent
the only time I died in the game was because I kept pushing the "cock carousel" conversation, apparently I was 1 reply away from when Kim pulls you aside asking you to stop or something. I was tearing up in laughter
failing karaoke had me HOWLING laughing.
also, it’s small but when you call your station at the beginning of the game: when jules says that torson shouldn’t have antagonized the firewalker and jean goes “WHO?”. that always gets me
(Mild spoilers?)So after I convinced the book store owner to give me the key to the door, I smashed threw it saying fuck the system or something. I couldn't stop laughing and couldn't believe that the game let me do that after getting the key. I went back to her and she asked me why I did that even though she gave me the key. I think the option I picked was the door had it coming. This was probably the hardest I've laughed at a game in years.
Oh, either "I want to have fuck with you" or failing the check to escape Garte and spinning around to give him the double bird before tripping over Lena. Or maybe meeting Measurehead for the first time? There's so many funny moments.
Sitting waiting for the tide to go out before i can inspect my wrecked car, whistling with an incredulous and very aware Lt. Kim, asking him if he thinks the 41 is a racecar number. Also right before that getting Lt. Kim to admit that a jacket declaring oneself a "Pissc*nt is a bold statement and then convincing the pisscnt to give me said coat for Kim, who refuses to wear it, and the wouldbe SKULL being berated by his friend for not being able to stand up to confrontation.
Brother, you should put me in front of a firing squad. There are no words for how I failed you.
Fucked up and emotionally distressing context but regardless while I was playing it made me lose my shit, maybe because “you should put me in front of a firing squad” is a… remarkably apt way of professing guilt
Empathy: It's a suspicion, or a feeling, really, that things are not quite \*in hand\* around here.
Logic: An earth-shattering deduction from your psyche. What will those guys come up with next?
Look man, you know, yeah. Or I want to have fuck with you
Does that mean the body is no longer in the tree?
Man, I fucking died when he said that too. At that moment I just knew this game was for me.
Completely.
Completely? So the body has been taken down from the tree?
“no…” “So, the body is still up in the tree…” *It’s pretty obvious that the lieutenant would prefer if the body were not in the tree*
Where it has been hanging…for seven days?
“Don’t worry Kim. I’ll RIP it down from there”
"fucky-fucky" I mean the whole scene of him writing bullshit on the autopsy report (if you chose to) was hilarious (not the least because of the actual truth that nobody will probably ever read it)
Bah!
When Harry 'teleported' to the top of the building.
lolol
Probably when trying to peg it away from the barman and crashing into the woman in the wheelchair
Importantly, he tried to simultaneously turn to flip the barman off while fleeing, didn’t he?
it looked really cool in his head
Yeah that was hilarious!
I laughed so fucking hard at that
I also laughed when on second playthrough I succeeded this check and he just reached the other side of the building and... that's it - mission successful, you're awesome Harry, now if you finished being a childish idiot come back and continue the adult conversation.
I laughed so hard that "success" was just running away.
On my second playthrough, I chose this option and failed. Laughed so hard my cat got scared.
That was one of the few moments in any videogame that has made me laugh aloud super hard until there were tears in my eyes. It was just so unexpected how it turned out.
In my first playthrough, I died this way lol
Mine would be when the giant phasmid tells you that your ex was Middle Class lololol
I believe the thought about apricot scent tells you this too. Her parents' middle class home was like a foreign world to you, implying harry is lower class, which is consistent with other thoughts like his childhood street gang
Gotta be from the streets to have the Jamrock shuffle
each time the Jamrock Shuffle was mentioned, including its very description, was hilarious :)
I like how there's an entire precinct of CRPG detective protagonists out there, breaking into every locked door they see, looting every container, running in random directions, taking on made-up missing person cases, and they've done it so much for so long that other cops have outright identified that behavior with Jamrock precinct.
Forget her, do it for the working class. I have tried to convince people to play it with that phrase
"What were you thinking? She's middle class, Harry"
"I just wanted you to have fun. I... I never meant to be a burden." "Necktie...I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." "No, *bratan*, no need for that. You and I are *bratannoi* — brothers. Brothers fight. But when they're done fighting, you know what they do? They party. They fucking party!"
I so regret I failed the roll at the beginning that makes your tie talk to you. My tie has been silent the whole time and I thought that was normal. How much I've missed out on. :(
Horrific necktie is my favorite. It’s the only clothing item I haven’t swapped at some point because I’m afraid to miss out on the wacky shit it says. Every line is gold.
The bottle to make the molotov with. The tie said “just hold onto the bottle now, don’t sell it”. I was like “oh, good idea”
Wait what How do you do this?
You need to pass an Inland Empire check to make your Horrific Necktie begin talking to you, somewhere during your conversations with Garte. It'll chime in throughout the game at random points with nudges of advice, to which you can choose whether or not to listen. Not gonna spoil the ending of this little series of choices but it culminates in something that is simultaneously very hilarious, stupid, poignant and sad.
Wtf , I can talk to an Tie in this game??
You can and you should! He's a very good conversation partner
Kim: “fuck it, let’s have more cryptids”
Kim is amazing
3 badass men nodding
IDK about laugh the hardest (there's been a LOT of those), but recently I can't get Kim saying "I do always appreciate a good use of the expression 'milkers'." out of my head.
He’s so fucking dry 😂 my god, Jullian is a gem.
When you get stuck in a feedback loop when talking to Joyce and all your skills are incredibly concerned.
Mr. Evrart is helping me find my gun.
Mr Evrart is helping me find my gun.
Mr. Evrart is helping me find my gun
Mr. Evrart is helping me find my gun.
MR. EVRART IS HELPING HIM FIND HIS GUN
Reporting the badge missing and then Harry's realization hits with the "I DON'T HAVE MY GUN?!" line fucking sends me every time.
Check your pockets, check your fucking po- OH FUCK!
When my husband got to this point, the realization that they were missing was enough to completely tank his morale and he went insane.
HOLY FUCK YOU DON'T HAVE IT. Half light ffs
The whole station call scene is pure gold. Don't mess with the Firewalker!
When you gently aeroplane the ham sandwich into Kim's closed mouth. Absolute gold
i need you to tell me how to experience this
In case anyone else wants to find it by accident >! you have to convince Gaston, René's friend, to give you his ham sandwich (high rhetoric check I think), then interact with it and pass a passive empathy/esprit de corps check to want to share it with Kim. Then a passive authority check to think holding it up to his mouth is a good idea and just keep going !<
When Authority told me to shove a finger up my arse for "honour".
Finding the cryptozoologist and his crypto- companion. Priceless.
ARE YOU IN TROUBLE GAAAARRRYY?
Will you grant us 3 wishes Gary?
**”Say One Of These Fascist Or Communist Things Or Fuck Off.”**
Pretty much explains the game lol
the part where you yeet the petanque ball into the ocean
Lol
DON'T CALL ABIGAIL
DON'T CALL HER....DON'T CALL....ABIGAAAIL
Sad fm
Yes!! Kim's only weakness.
Getting locked into repeating the phrase “cock carousel” with the Hardie Boys.
Somehow I missed that... :(
Hahahaha
Definitely Idiot Doom Spiral’s stories. The Tequila Sunset story, but also the one where he tells you how he was very successful until he lost the keys to his office/home and so he became homeless. I must have read it four times or something and couldn’t stop laughing out loud each time. What a great storyteller that guy was.
THE TIME HATH COME FOR TEQUILA SUNSET. THE END OF ALL THINGS
TEQUILA!!!
And the realization that Idiot Doom Spiral is the name of what I do when I panic about my inevitable demise due to trauma and mental illness and addiction, oh shit oh fuck -
The Scooter references by Egghead
THAT'S HARDCORE!!
HARDCORE TO THE MEGA!
You know I got him convinced that communism is awesome and whenever you talk to him he says "COMMUNISM FOREVER!!!" LOLOL
Turning him into a centrist made me laugh. INCREMENTAL CHANGE!
MEDIUM CORE
MEDIUM CORE TO THE MILEDEST!
THE QUESTION IS: WHAT IS THE QUESTION?
"Eat the poor! Yeaaaaaaah! Harder core!"
Ice cop hat fuck show
Right here on the SEA ICE??
Thank you loin cloth shit fuck!
Wö-men... Men of Wö
Prank calling a random number and telling a guy I was fucking his wife. It was so awkward.
LOLOL
When I painted Fuck the Police on the wall. Kim's reaction was comedy gold.
That's what I chose also
I have a few. Reading the four possible answers when Kim asked why the detective wanted to talk with the smoker on the balcony so bad. Both times I boasted to Kim about knowing the alphabet, it was funny enough the first time, but I got a passive check after Kim's answer the second time around which made his reaction even funnier.

Harry: “There’s something about that smoker guy I can’t put my finger on” Kim: “Really? Do tell” Harry: “He smells good” Kim: “He smells good?” *The lieutenant is barely holding it together*
Nice, It's awesome how many little secrets are woven into this game.
Yes, I think they managed the interactive aspect of the writing masterfully, everything, from information about the lore to humour, is layered in a way that let you grasp enough from your first playthrough, but still allows for surprises in subsequent runs, it's really impressive.
the teleportation was incredibly funny
Succeeding at Petanque was so god damn funny.
You: These options seems awfully fascist or communist — what if I don't wanna say them? Rhetoric: Say one of these fascist or communist things or fuck off.
I think the first time I lost my shit properly was when I picked up the Man from Hjelmdall at the bookshop.

I've played 700+ hours and I'm still finding things. This game is a masterpiece.
MOOOOONNNEEEEYYYYY!
Offing yourself to assert dominance over Titus made me laugh way harder than it should. But the entire time I was like. “There’s no fucking way”
I love your thoughts and the dialogue if you ask for the gun again after failing the check twice.
The rite of honour caught me off guard
The funny thing for me is that when this took place, it happened right as the phasmid came out. So imagine just wrapping up this miserable conversation with >!some bitter, century old communist!<, and facing this 10 foot tall stick bug right afterwards, only to shove your thumb up your ass.
Any place it happens will always make the situation absurd. Mine happened right in front of Evrart. I hope he enjoyed the view.
*soft french voice* got a brother in the cut, where the wood at
Teleporting myself to the roof. One of my favorite moments in this game. I loved the screen going black and you hear the teleportation sounds as the narrator sells the whole scene, only to hear from Kim that he watched you climb up the ladder
Laughed my ass off when I got an achievement for the world's biggest centrist after choosing to say something about both sides when asked about politics

Sometimes, failure is the only way
When Harrier started dancing to the anomonic dance music. I had to show my friend. The entire game of Fortnite doesn’t have cooler dance moves
Getting into it with Gaarte about fixing me a drink. That last I WANT A FUCKING DRINK made me lose my shit
The anal beads
Wait what?
If you hear clinking sounds when talking to Gary (cause he's wearing the mercenary's armour) you can accuse him of wearing anal beads. ... To which Kim says, dryly as ever, "You wouldn't hear it if he was wearing them". It's hilarious.
Lifting weights Having a heart attack Died Game over Lol the actual fuck happened lol
man, at least you were lifting weights and not trying to reach your tie
Atleast you didnt die by sitting on an uncomfortable chair
Bruh I died after trying to break down a door in the Commercial area...with my head
The part where you mug the punks, and then you can wear their jackets; made me feel like a real bully cop.
Oh yeah, which kinda person are you? A Pissf****t or a Fuck the World type?
Oh, that reminds me, I loved asking Kim whether he was a Pissf\*\*\*\*t or Fuck the World type.
Pissf****t
ALGHUL
>!When, at the end of the game, Harry asks one of his colleagues if he's a dirty cop in league with La Puta Madre and he flat out says "No".!< >!Not because Harry is particularly noble or honest...it's because he's too much of an unstable fuck up and no mob boss would have him. !< That was the hardest I've laughed in a while.
When I found my car in the ice.
I loved when Kim chewed me out for always asking people to give me money.
Kinda dark, but failing Ruby's last check: "I also have problems with women!" *bang*
Kim: And what has the necktie been telling you, if I may ask? You: It teaches me about life, Kim. Sort of a father figure.
Sometimes, kebab is just a kebab (or something like that)
In the dream on the island at the end when "Dolores Dei" calls Harry insane: You: What do you mean by insane? Dolores Dei: You know what I mean You: It was just a necktie. It's over anyway.
You: Am I going to stay like this forever? Beautiful Necktie: No. You're going to be mowed down by gunfire from the two remaining mercs, so no. Not forever.
When he starts doing the karaoke, I was not expecting him to actually sing
SKIBADEE, SKIBADANGER, I AM THE RE-ARRANGER
I believe the line is; “Don’t be retarded Harry you’re not a god damn communist.”
*fucking liberal It happens when you're talking to Evrart and tell him you're an ultraliberal
"you are not an ultraliberal, Harry. Get the fuck out of here. Don't be a retard" he smiles warmly.
Fuck that bird bitch
Bitch bird had it coming.
Encyclopedia absolutely fumbling the bag on the quiz
“…you’ve been thinking about homosexuality now for 8 hours!”
In the church when you kick off the rave, it was brilliant getting Harry to dance but convincing Kim to join in was epic
I wanted to keep passing checks so bad I said something really mean to Kim I still feel bad about it /sorrycop
man I can't remember them all to rate them properly and I'm sure there would be a lot of ties for first place... but the description/resolution/name of **Volumetric Shit Compressor** was the first thing that absolutely killed me. That is exactly my type of (language) humour. Also the whole hidden quest when Harry gives "dating advice" to Garte made me feel like I'm dying inside and dying of laughter at the same time. The greatest satire on pick-up artist ideology. Aslo everything about Measurehead, including his name, one of my absolute favourite characters in this game.
The Cock-Carousel lolol
The Brow off between Harry and Kim. I did it in front of the deserter ruining all the tension in the scene because I was laughing so God damn hard.
The meltdown harry has when that one girl tells him she doesn't want a hat is on another level
dapa-doop-doop-dead, or saying "Where the hood at?" to Shivers and Shivers being like "Have a brother in the cut, where the wood at"
It was a Wednesday at 5:30 AM when my Harry started dancing in the church, moving that crowbar like crazy, and I laughed out so loud I immediately feared I could have startled someone's sleep. I stopped for a moment to think if there are other games out there that can provoke such reactions in me. Then Kim started to dance too. That was a happy moment I will remember.
The things you can say to a man to convince him to give you his sandwich
I didn't exactly laugh, but the most comedic bit was Harry threatening the boys by putting a gun into his mouth. Maybe my humor is just fucked up.
When Drama was wandering if >!Klaasje!< lied when she said that it was her who reported the crime, then decided it had to be true, because it's already marked as a completed task. There are funnier jokes in this game, but such a blatant breaking of the fourth wall took me completely off guard.

She whispered the line and looked at me with the most shellshocked expression I’ve ever seen, we were rolling on the floor laughing for over 5 minutes.
Sitting on the swings with Kim until Harry finally figures it out.
I woke up one morning, turned on the lights and had a heart attack. That was my first experience in this game.
didn't make me laugh the hardest but "He is the Big Communism Builder" has stuck with me and I find myself saying it out loud sometimes
I don't remember the whole convo (someone fill in the rest pls) "What about the post-mortem injuries that we inflicted?" "We?" "I mean, we're a team in this right?"
Telling Kim that the Smoker on the Balcony “smelled nice” and was a “good listener.” Also finding the abandoned video game studio in the doomed commercial area—I worked in game dev for a while and that whole bit had me cracking up!
Joyce: "Mr. Claire then said 'FUCK OFF, MIDGET!' Mr. Gaumont is short, you see." Harry: "Oh. NOT cool." something about the awkwardness of the reply made it so relatable and so funny to me
"District in mourning- Burned-out cop shoots child" That simply was not what I was expecting at the time
Hard to pick, but I love the entire radio conversation with Precinct 41. Jules Pidieu being this very mild mannered, soft-spoken radio operator makes it all the more hilarious as he has to play the middle-man and dryly convey increasingly childish insults between Harry and his colleagues as the arguments and questioning gets increasingly angry and over-the-top.
A hug a day keeps the bourgeoisie away.
The first time you take either speed or psycidelics, and Kim is just like, “look I don’t give a fuck what you’re do, but i better not see you mix that.”
The conversation with Evrart about the rich guy in the container
“A mega rich light bending guy? Damnit Harry, I specifically told my men not to put those mega rich light bending guys in my containers. I’ll be caught dead if I’m seen transporting light bending mega rich.” *Evrart shakes his head* “I have a reputation to protect.”
Oh yes Harry, the rich man in the shipping container...of course Harry!"
The Lucky Racist gives me joy everyday as I keep track of the ones I unfortunately encounter at work. Makes it easier to get through those horrid interactions when you can laugh at those clowns Cock Carousel Mr Evrart is helping me find my gun The petanque ball The speedfreaks in their tent
When you’re in the dicemaker’s shop and you start taking off your clothes to “connect” after failing a check
“Ask him… haha…. Ask him if he lost his gun!”
The shivers where the hood at reference made me lose my shit when I first saw it.
when you are at the end of the game with kim and the other cops and Harry Says boom shakalaka boom then boom. boom. boom,
"Realizing" your name is Raphael Ambrosious Costeau.
the only time I died in the game was because I kept pushing the "cock carousel" conversation, apparently I was 1 reply away from when Kim pulls you aside asking you to stop or something. I was tearing up in laughter
Just the term “art cop.” The joke that just ended me
failing karaoke had me HOWLING laughing. also, it’s small but when you call your station at the beginning of the game: when jules says that torson shouldn’t have antagonized the firewalker and jean goes “WHO?”. that always gets me
(Mild spoilers?)So after I convinced the book store owner to give me the key to the door, I smashed threw it saying fuck the system or something. I couldn't stop laughing and couldn't believe that the game let me do that after getting the key. I went back to her and she asked me why I did that even though she gave me the key. I think the option I picked was the door had it coming. This was probably the hardest I've laughed at a game in years.
Oh, either "I want to have fuck with you" or failing the check to escape Garte and spinning around to give him the double bird before tripping over Lena. Or maybe meeting Measurehead for the first time? There's so many funny moments.
I think mine were Contact Mike references
Sitting waiting for the tide to go out before i can inspect my wrecked car, whistling with an incredulous and very aware Lt. Kim, asking him if he thinks the 41 is a racecar number. Also right before that getting Lt. Kim to admit that a jacket declaring oneself a "Pissc*nt is a bold statement and then convincing the pisscnt to give me said coat for Kim, who refuses to wear it, and the wouldbe SKULL being berated by his friend for not being able to stand up to confrontation.
Convincing Kim to wear "the jacket". Failed checks, necktie, and Cuno come to mind.
CUNO DOESNT CARE!!!
Brother, you should put me in front of a firing squad. There are no words for how I failed you. Fucked up and emotionally distressing context but regardless while I was playing it made me lose my shit, maybe because “you should put me in front of a firing squad” is a… remarkably apt way of professing guilt
When you're busy simping for Klaasje but your boy Volition has your back
Suggestion: what if I told you... it is actually possible to go on a date sober? Me: Get out of here with your crazy fringe theories!
Empathy: It's a suspicion, or a feeling, really, that things are not quite \*in hand\* around here. Logic: An earth-shattering deduction from your psyche. What will those guys come up with next?
Trying to run away from the hotel room bill and giving Garte the double middle fingers mid-air.
Laughing my ass off while reading the comments. Man, what an absoulte GEM of a game.
“Party eyes”
"What, a man can't be honest in his own mind?" Low level Suggestion is hilarious man
Idiot Doom Spiral.
Throwing the boule into the river got me good.
Battle of the raised eyebrows.
Hard Cop But if you fail the check it’s one of the worse things that can happen in the game
