This trophy is missable. You need to use the Spoon on 30 objects/persons and hear the Spoon give 30 different reactions to these objects/persons. You get the Spoon at the very start of Act 1 and there are 34 different reactions that you can hear. These are the objects that trigger them:
Objects that can be triggered at any time
1) Shay - "As you command sir, but I'm up for anything."
Act 1
Runaway Train Mission
2) Sleeping Bridge Man - "I'm happy to volunteer for that suicide mission sir, but I think if you just shout at the bridge man, he'll lower or raise that bridge."
Shay's Room
3) Shay's Bed - "I'm spit-shined and ready for action, sir."
Marek's Hub
4) Inhibitor - "Shut up whom?"
Kitchen
5) Knife - "Please sir, we don't work well together."
Avalanche Room
6) Whipped Cream Gun before you pick it up - "Everything's more sanitary with a spoon."
Space
7) Boom Arm Control Hatch - "Well! Well at least now I finally know what your problem is with me. I'm too fat! Fine! You know what? You're right."
Act 2
Crash Site
8) Shay's Dad before talking to Alex - "Yes, in my heart I am!"
9) Destroyed spaceship - "If this strange new world has food to eat then I will serve it to you Commander."
Shellmound at any time
10) Car'l - "I hope you're kidding sir."
11) Broken Hexipal - "I think he needs a recharging sir."
12) Choking Mayor - "Sir, you are more likely to force the object further down his throat if you attempt that. I recommend a sudden constricting pressure to the abdomen instead. Trust me. Choking prevention is my business."
Shellmound before talking to Alex
13) Chum before talking to Alex - "Sir, I hope you sent me into that foul gumbo to collect facts about its chemical composition and not because you intend to eat it. It's well past its prime, you see."
Alex's Ship
14) Alex - "It's a wonder you didn't die of malnutrition."
15) Charging Station - "No sir. I believe that's an old-fashioned charging station."
16) Schematic - "It's inedible."
Shellmound after talking to Alex
17) Chum before talking to Shay's Dad - "Not to question the mission, sir, but was there a reason you stuck me in that toxic potion?"
18) Shay's Dad - "I agree. In survival situations, it's often how we stick to our laws that defines our humanity and ensures our survival."
19) Wire - "Ha ha please sir! ...Why? Am I acting funny?"
20) Flute - "I'm always ready for play in the key of E, A and T."
Woods
21) Talking Tree - "Impossible sir. You know I've been developed with unchokeable technology."
22) Snake in Shay's inventory - "If you stuck me in that snake's mouth, I'll definitely tell you what's wrong... with you, sir!"
Curtis' House
23) Curtis after he has revealed the cat mold - "Sir, are you trying to get rid of me?"
Meriloft Entrance
24) F'Ther after climbing the ladder to Brother Lightbeard's cloud - "Only by making sure he's started his day with a nutritious breakfast sir."
Giant Fruit Tree
25) Dead Eye God's Bodyguards - "You could certainly do worse."
26) Fruit - "Oh sir, I wouldn't eat it. I mean, how can you trust food that doesn't come from a Replicator. Besides, I'm sensing a strong acid content."
Meriloft Centre
27) Vella's Dad - "Oh! Did you hear that loyalty. I think I'm going to cry."
28) Jessie - "Yes commander, but only small ones I'm afraid."
29) Eggshells - "Well, I wouldn't recommend eating them sir. They are comprised primarily of calcium carbonate, which has little or no nutrient value."
Nesting Grounds
30) Rocky and M'ggie - "Sir!"
31) Grandpa Beastender - "I bet they did and you just never listened!"
32) Cupcake - "Sir, even I, who believes spoons can do anything, wonders what kind of monster eats a cupcake with a spoon."
33) Cane - "Sorry sir, nothing left."
Meriloft's Maidens Feast Area
34) Vella's Mom after requesting a Radiation Suit - "Everybody does eventually."
As a sidenote, if you select the Spoon before clicking on a random area, rather than a specific object or person, the Spoon will respond with "Always, sir." I don't believe that this counts for the total, but if people find that it does count then I will add it in to the list.
Missable and GLITCHED
This is a very missable trophy and needs to be started in Shay Act 1 but will not be completed until Act 2. To get this you need to use Spoon on pretty much everything you can to get 30 different reactions. This trophy seems a little bit glitchy were certain things don't count.
I used a list that was posted here by DEFALT that has 31 lines of dialogue but the trophy didn't pop for me until I used it on another few things.
