''How do you get 100 Jews into a car?
A '''rat''' is a small background creature, which can usually be seen crawling along the ground in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Like [[turtle]]s, they can be kicked by [[Rayman]], sending them spinning though the air. They appear mostly in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], but one can also be found on the floor of [[the Fairy Council]], and several others can be seen in [[Count Razoff]]'s mansion in [[the Bog of Murk]]. As a result of their tormented upbringing under the [[Knaaren]], rats appear to derive some form of masochistic pleasure from pain – when kicked by [[Rayman]], they usually comment with perverse sentences.
– You throw in a nickel.''
''How do you get them out of there?''
At least one [[Knaaren]] has domesticated a pet rat; as [[Rayman]] is about to fall down the hole leading to the fight against [[Reflux]], one [[Knaaren]] laments to another about his dead pet rat called Sally.
– Tell them that Hitler is driving the car.''
''What is the difference between a Jew and a pizza?
Rats also appear in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', but merely as background elements and unable to be interacted with.
– The pizza does not scream when it gets put in the oven.''
