Why are Link's iron boots only heavy when they're on his feet?

Why does Donkey Kong wear a tie but no pants? (Potentially resolved by MrAmPm with a yogi bear analogy)

Post any oddities or things you thought were a tad bizarre when playing video games. I find it fun to point these out in a very not serious manner.

Bonus points if others have played said game and not noticed!

Do you really want to know where the postal dude keeps the cats? The same dude who works for Ron Jeremy wearing a Mario hat and Mustache and uses a leaf blower in reverse to pelt cum stained tissues at Sarah Palin and her group of Australian Hockey moms?

The Secret of Monkey Island is the caverns beneath the giant monkey head. The first time I played Arkham Asylum I didn't get that he was drawing a bat, but then it just clicked in my mind! But how can the Just Cause dude survive jumping off pretty tall buildings without a scratch?

Inside a bag made of a parachute.

It's the same as Victoria's Secret: It has a penis.

Remember, Batman is pretty intelligent; the batgel shape isn't just for decoration, it's the most efficient design to cause explosions with minimal damage done.

Same in Mafia II, overtake a cop at a red light or drive toward them in oncoming traffic, no problems. Accidentally clip a parked car or have a pedestrian walk into your slow moving car and ENEMY OF THE STATE! APPREHEND HIM! Or when some dick pulls out right in front of you, giving you no time to stop and the cops give YOU a ticket.

Why when you kill 'not important' ppl in single player games they die with 1 bullet but when you kill someone important, it takes you 9999999 bullets, and even after that you both have a long conversation, and only then he dies?

I always found curious, funny and rather stupid that guys like Kratos, Dante or War (Darksiders) can rape and destroy big huge bosses and plenty of demons but they can't destroy a simple and fragile wooden door. In fact, this applies to all the games which have locked doors.
