Metroid: Other M/Funny

• According to Samus herself, and as demonstrated in one of the trailers, the best way to deal with Zebesians is to give them a good kick in the face.
• Early in the game, we meet this weird creature that looks like a crossbreed between a rabbit, a lizard and a songbird, who we later know as "Little Birdy." But later in the story, however, we find out that Little Birdy is the juvenile form of Ridley, cloned from DNA scraps on Samus's suit.
• Anthony Higgs's line "Remember me?" from the Other M trailer at E3 soon became an instant meme, because nobody knew who in the hell he was, nor did he appear in any Metroid game until then. The puzzling nature of the memetic line had garnered Anthony the (temporary) Fan Nickname, Mysterious Black Dude.
• In a Shout-Out to Metal Gear Solid, when Samus dies, Adam screams "Samus, what's going on?! Respond! RESPOOOND!"
  • Now that I think of it, this Troper wonders what would happen if Adam Malkovitch and Roy Campbell met...
• Anthony Higgs killstealing from Samus, and Samus's reaction. She punches his shoulder in annoyance.
  • Right before that, the creature attacking Samus Ridley's adolescent form is defeated... when it slams face-first into a wall disguised by a hologram. In bullet time.
• Lyle, who dislikes bugs, unloading his whole ammo clip into a single tiny insect, still firing even after it's reduced to sludge.
• Ridley's cartilaginous face can only show a few expressions. Near the end, with the Queen Metroid bearing down on him when he's already been wounded by Samus, we find out one of these is Oh Crap.
• In the postgame, finding Adam's helmet jumps from a sad, mournful scene with appropriately slow music to ALERT! ESCAPE! so quickly that it causes very funny whiplash.
