Metroid Prime/Funny

• A particular space pirate log entry in Prime, which gives clear orders to all soldiers suffering from phazon-related mutations to report to the authorities. Mutations beneficial to combat are rewarded with a raise and bigger food rations.
  • "Science Team has vapor for brains."
  • Metroids are not pets. Metroids are not for target practice.
    • Unauthorized feeding of Metroids is STILL strictly prohibited.
  • Read the Pirate Logs in the Phazon Mines discussing Samus. For further hilarity, in Echoes, they notice Dark Samus, and then they realize that there are two of you.

"Truly, we are cursed."

• • A Pirate Log about the Pirates' attempt to replicate the Morph Ball manages to become funny.

"Aran's Power Suit technology remains a mystery, especially the curious Morph Ball function. All attempts at duplicating it have ended in disaster: four test subjects were horribly broken and twisted when they engaged our Morph Ball prototypes. Science Team wisely decided to move on afterward."

• After finally defeating the Chykka, a boss that just keeps getting back up when it seems defeated, scanning the corpse will give you a long list of information about the body's condition that basically amounts, "Yeah, it's down for good now, don't worry."
• Metroid Prime: After the battle with Thardus, as Samus is turning to walk away, a small rock smacks her in the back of the head. (It conveniently makes her turn around and see a brand-new powerup!)
• Go shoot a light beacon with the Annihilator Beam. Watch any Ing in the room gleefully gallop/fly to their death.
• Admit it: At the bottom of the Phazon Mines in I, you got a sadistic chuckle out of unleashing a swarm of Metroids on the Space Pirates.
  • Also from the Phazon Mines: The Beam Troopers, Space Pirates with equipment upgrades retro-engineered from Samus' weaponry, are meant to be supreme badasses amongst the forces. Aside from the Plasma Troopers, however, they end up being insanely easier to kill. A single Super Missile will off a Power Trooper, the Ice Troopers can be frozen and shattered, and the Wave Troopers get stunned by a short-charged Wave Beam shot. (Not to mention you can just unleash the Waveblaster on them and not even bother with aiming.) Seems Science Team can't get anything right!
• This Troper was amused by the amazing stupidity of how the Triclops/Mechlops will eat Morph Ball Bombs. I'd believe that nearly every instance of the mob AI being Too Dumb to Live could be a CMOF.
  • Admittedly, the idea is that it tries to suck in Morph Ball Samus and the bomb gets sucked in instead. It's still funny to imagine them having an Oh Crap moment just before the kaboom...
  • Since they'll grab them if you are out of their range, it makes it seem as if the Triclops are simply too stupid to discern between the Morph Ball and a bomb.
• In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, the first boss you face, the Berserker Lord, trips after trying to either attack you or run away in the cutscene after its defeat, and then stumbles into a force field that zaps him and then shorts out, allowing the Berserker Lord to fall into a passing Federation ship. Oops.
  • Also in Prime 3, Gandrayda has a chance of tripping when you fire a powerful attack at her during her boss fight.
• This Troper was amused by Meta Ridley's death, in which several Chozo Statues come to life and blast him with Frickin' Laser Beams. Then he falls into the Impact Crater and...explodes! The latter is possibly justified by Meta Ridley being a cyborg.
• Just thinking about what Ridley is and becomes during these games gets funny with its ludicrousness. Before the Prime games he was a Space Dragon in charge of a bunch of Space Pirates. With Prime comes the more pronounced Mad Scientist edge to the Pirates, and Ridley becomes a Cyborg Space Dragon in charge of science pirates. And then in Corruption, he finally becomes a Mutant Radioactive Resurrected Cyborg Dragon Pirate Commander. Think of all that at once.
  • Samus also gets a few dozen CMoAs for STILL BEATING HIM A BUNCH.
• Some of the Prime 3 Pirate logs.

"After our liberation, she (Dark Samus) left us adrift. We thought this a test of our loyalty, and so we endured. Some said she abandoned us. They were promptly shot. Disciples do not doubt their leader. "

• "Hey, relax. We're the good guys. 'Justice will prevail', and all that stuff, right Samus?"
