The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some users finding it acceptable while others criticize the use of a non-country-specific rave package instead of the original soundtracks for the US and UK. Additionally, there are complaints about the music cues being out of sync with the dialogue and a desire for options to disable voice acting. Overall, the music aspect is seen as needing improvement, particularly in terms of localization and question accuracy.
“The music, sounds, and animation hold true to the real game.”
“I have no issues with the rave music.”
“However, I think that the original music should be used in the corresponding countries, e.g., US and UK.”
“The final answer music cue comes first before the dialogue.”
“The music is the 2007 rave package (not country specific - the US and UK use the classic music), and the questions are all mixed up and bad.”
“Also, they did a fairly decent job on internationalization, but the UK soundtrack is wrong, and so is the set.”

The humor in the game is initially entertaining, with some players finding it amusingly absurd, reminiscent of a late-night Adult Swim show. However, this enjoyment tends to wane as players reflect on their investment, leading to mixed feelings about the overall comedic value.
“Funny AI characters add a unique twist to the gameplay.”
“The game used to be hilariously bad, not gonna lie.”
“If you don't care about money and want to play a game show that feels like it was directed by Tommy Wiseau and Alan Resnick for Adult Swim at 2 AM - it's pretty damn hilarious at times.”
