The game's humor is described as bizarre, quirky, and reminiscent of shows like "Superjail" and "Adult Swim," effectively blending oddity with social commentary. Players find the comedic elements to be both entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny, enhanced by expressive voice acting and animation. Overall, the humor is appreciated for its cleverness and ability to engage a wide audience, even those who may not typically enjoy unconventional comedy.
- “The art style reminds me of Superjail, and the voices were as if they ripped someone from Adult Swim... it's on-point odd humor.”
- “Loving it, a very solid early access build with great gameplay and voice acting, has had me laughing at my screen like a goober.”
- “An evil maniac, Fergooson is bestowed upon a jetpack and the command of an army of evil babies and other miscreants, by an unknown seemingly greater evil with a very peculiar silhouette residing beneath the surface of this mysterious world where the surface is inhabited by humans so stupid you will be unsure whether or not you want them to like you. The humor is very on the nose with a lot of references that made me laugh out loud but at the same time being just obscure enough that it doesn't come off as offensive, brought to life with talented voice acting and expressive animation.”
