Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance/Funny



Raiden

  • The Mariachi costume sequence. Short version, Raiden dons a mariachi outfit as a "disguise", opens a sewer grate, and hops down it while Mexican guys are looking at him with a major "WTF is he doing?!" look on their faces. Even better, after he turns to them as says 'Adios, amigos" and pops down into the sewer, both guys just decide to invoke the MST3K Mantra and pretend it never happened.
    • Even the game mocks Raiden for this one in the armor select screen:

"Traditonal garb for Mexican folk musicians, purchased by Raiden at a souvenir shop south of the border in a misguided attempt to blend in with the locals."

  • When he needs to escape Denver fast, he decides to jack a motorcycle. As he drives away, the camera pans over to the ground where he was standing, revealing he wrote how to contact him and an apology for taking the bike into the pavement. what gets even funnier is that we find out in the Jetstream DLC that he actually stole Jetstream Sam's bike, which is even MORE hilarious because that's EXACTLY who he runs into while going down the Colorado highway.

Doktor

  • Raiden decides to hop out of the transport chopper he and Doktor are in to take on some bogeys trying to shoot them down. After a brief protest, Doktor tells Raiden (about to jump out the window) to "enjoy your flight". Raiden remarks "and people say Germans aren't funny" in response before jumping.
  • This hilarious bit of Accidental Innuendo:

Doktor: Perhaps, but first you need to take a DOOMP.
Raiden: I... Wait, what?
Doktor: A DOOMP? A digital-optical output mounted proxy.

Armstrong

  • After a going on a massive roid rage after Raiden destroys Metal Gear Excelsus, he starts beating the shit out of Raiden, twists him into a literal human ball, throws Raiden up into the air (with a shot of Raiden in comically bug eyed terror/shock), then as Raiden is about to land, literally punts him in the ass as an imaginary football crowds cheers. It's even more hilarious in context.
    • A smaller, but no less funny moment happens during the second half of the beat down, where he socks Raiden so hard he skids across the metal floor they are fighting on his metallic jaw, which results in Raiden hurriedly getting up, trying to wave away the heat from his now glowing white jawline.
    • Over half of Armstrong's dialouge is a Fountain of Memes:

"NANOMACHINES, SON!".

Don't fuck with this senator!

  • Hell, even Armstrong's Motive Rant his real one is funny as hell, if for no other reason than the sheer amount of Cluster F Bombing he does while making Raiden his bitch.

"'I have a dream.' That one day every person in this nation will control their own destiny. A nation of the truly free, dammit. A nation of action, not words, ruled by strength, not committee! Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to think - to act - for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chickenshit bureaucrats. Fuck this 24-hour internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit! Fuck American pride! Fuck the media! FUCK ALL OF IT! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it - we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes a new America will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged and the strongest will thrive - free to live as they see fit. They'll make America great again! [...] In my new America, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for money. Not for oil! Not for what they're told is right. Every man will be free to fight his own wars!"

    • This has a mini moment of hilarity at the beginning, with Raiden's Flat What over how the beginning of the speech obviously sounded like the beginning of Martin Luther King's speech.
  • In a dark moment of funny, at the end of the Jetstream DLC, after Sam gets his sword arm sliced off, Armstrong extends his hand to give him a handshake.....to the side where the arm is currently bleeding out. Even Sam found that one darkly amusing.

Jetstream Sam

  • After defeating Sundowner, Sundowner calls Sam, who trolls him over his loss:

Sundowner: I gotta...make a call...
Sam: Cut yourself shaving?
Sundowner: *chuckle* ...Asshole...
