Amateur plumbing! Skinny dipping! Albert Wesker! Sometimes, intense and earnest efforts to be scary result in the opposite effect: an unintended moment of hilarity in your otherwise terrifying game.

    Layers of Fear has a child run full tilt into a wall and just kinda bounce off. It is honestly one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
  • I've actually expected the boulder punching QTE that is so popular and apparantly known in game that someone from a remote village like Heisenberg knew about it.
  • @nonspiderweb
    Deadly Premonition? I think the whole game qualifies as an unintentionally hilarious moment.
  • "Pick-up lines such as this one:" *Youtube immediately plays two ads *
  • In deepsea horror game 'Iron Fish', you can encounter an angler fish that appears to be Frankensteined from a bloody severed human head, mouth gaping and eyes bugging out. Right, that's horrible. But then it starts (loudly) spouting paternal platitudes, calling you "Petal" and promising to alway believe in you. Less nightmare from the depths and more greeting card sent by your nan when you leave secondary school.

    I thought they were gonna bring up Dylan for the Quarry. He had me dying most of the time -"Herd of bears 🤨" -"Yeah, I've heard of bears" 😂😂

    "It's structural perfection is matched only by It's need to go wee wee." 😂😂😂
  • @rickdaniel7341
    “The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me” had a victim of the killer just fall down a trap door like a Looney Tunes cartoon. All that was missing was a slide whistle.
  • @philiphunn194
    "Confusingly gorgeous giant lady"? Nothing confusing about it, Jane.
  • @markusnixon3156
    "I'm sure that's just the pipes." That delivery was perfect! 🤣
  • @SirFlopsy
    In the first Alien vs Predator game there is a sound bite you hear as a marine from one of your squad mates. I probably don't remember it exactly, but it goes something like this: "Is that a boot? It better be a boot!" silence for a few seconds "Hey, it's a boot!" That always cracked me and my brother up.
  • @chriswest6988
    "he'd use them as utensils, or as a urine cup." The insane word choice of "urine cup" over like "chamber pot" or another real term for a thing people pee in made me think he was either drinking out of it, or somehow even worse, it was a worn device.
  • @QabalisticBass
    Ethan's coat stitching back together is a clue for the ending. I though it was just silly when it first happened but it's actually pretty clever.
  • @jekebe4858
    Ethan's hand injuries started out grim but ended up being almost a blooper reel of trauma in hindsight... Gets stabbed to a wall and lopped off with a chainsaw? Oh DevilMia, what're ya like? Cheeky girl. Cuts it on barbed wire in the INTRO? Oh Ethan, you clumsy doof. Two fingers gnawed off by a cadouwolf? Guess that piano career is still off the table. But the one that really cemented the comedy was the one listed. I mean... stressful scene trying to get away from psycho vamp, find a way out, and SLICE! Watching that in the playthrough and Andy's banter to go with it legit made me laugh.
  • "Their structural perfection is matched only by their need to do a wee-wee...". LOL. I was not prepared for that line. Bravo Jane! And somebody check on Ellen,,, And try to get that sandwich away from her,
  • Outsidextra should do a video for the opposite ones, funny games with unintentional scary moments like Tomodachi Life and more!
  • @adriankerrison
    "The only thing they fear is you" is about Jane checking in on the Discord during streams
  • @danmoar94
    5:00 I love it when Ellen goes all "Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner."
  • @blakely207
    The commitment to not only making that horrible sandwich but also taking a bite is commendable
