Default funny TR moments of the past...

its been awhile since i played on chronicles but if any of you remember, on the black isle with young lara, she encountered the grim reaper in a old church... on the cutscene when grim is fascinated with some strange orb on one of the church benches he walks towards it, and then suddenly i heard some happy, jolly fast organ music for about 10 seconds...it ruined the tension but was really funny. maybe a glitch.

any of you remember any funny comments made by characters or weird music? e.t.c

No, that funnt high-pitched organ was no glitch. It's part of TRC's soundtrack.

The funniest thing in TR1 was the way the giant legless mutant died - you shot it and when it "died" it raised one arm, looked straight ahead, looked underneath itself, then straight ahead again, then it moved its arm in front of it, got up, then fell and exploded. What a death!

haha, i remember that, but that fast organ thing completely wrecked the tension when the reaper was there, it sounded so goofy. i was certain it was a glitch.

dont you think TR1 was the scariest tomb raider, on that level where you stand in the entrance looking at all those lines of circulating 'eggs' whatever you call them, knowing that they are going to explode and scare the hell out of you! lol did anyone else just leg it and keep shooting like crazy holding your breath!

I believe you are referring to the extra-short cutscene when Lara collects the bone dust from the bench. Yeah, I LOVE that little tension-ripping tune. I think Core were just taking the piss, trying to make us laugh. It worked for me.

The funniest scene for me was the first time I was playing the Venice levels in TR2 and finally figured out that I was to 'drive' the boat up the ramp and through the overhead glass room where the green dragon (secret) is on the timed run.

I went at it with customary gusto and speed and then you see Lara and boat flying through the air from the other end with her pony tail completely vertical. I just kept thinking she was going to shout 'Geronimo!!!'

" Move along cheri... you make place look crowded."

You're havin' a laff ent ya!! Apart from 2 vagrants a drug dealer and that 'weirdo' in the park there's no-one else outside.
The bloke with the Harley don't count, I think he's gay anyway (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Apart from that are you trying to insinuate that our Lara is a lady of negotiable affections?!! Back off lady, this is the Tomb Raider you're talking to!

Wasn't the guy on the Harley Kurtis Trent? He also appears when Lara emerges from the drainage pipe under the pawn shop when she outruns the fire from the exploding bomb - he is across the river flicking cigarette ash about the place.

I agree this replying. But Was this funny?!?!
I thought there were no much funny situation in the levels of TR.
Rather there were sometime absurd(=nonsensical) scean, so I laugh
sometime during the game playing. Normally, Those are all of BUG sorting...

e.g.

(TR_03): Frog-Man
(if you sucess in this time, this Frog-Man don't move... hehe~ )
(TR_03): BUG-dancing
(TR_05): BUG-disappearing(=you don't shoot him, you miss Secrets.)
(TR_05): BUG-don't following this Ending BOSS(=Cybog in Red-Alret in TR_05) to Lara.
(I waited too long to time at the first time.)
(TR_05): BUG-don't know security number too far away for gate in 13F
when the gaurd push the number.(=Lasor exam passenger window room)
(TR_02): Don't you think you've seen enough? etc. hehe~

yeah but what wasnt funny was when you played the game for the first time and was really full of adrenaline kicking its ass and finally you beat it and was like OH MY GOD I WON WOOO and then its explodes and its sodding head comes flying at you and kills you.

NOT IMPRESSED!!!!
