Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has two, both of them callbacks to MGS1:
    • First, when re-infiltrating Shadow Moses Island, Otacon calls Snake to tell him to put in Disc 2, before realizing they were on a BluRay disc, which is dual-layered. Snake tolerates it for all of 3 seconds before telling Otacon to get a grip.
    • And during the final act, after defeating Screaming Mantis, the ghost of Psycho Mantis shows up to pull his old tricks. But after finding out the system doesn't have a memory card and (if you aren't using the Dual Shock 3) the controller doesn't vibrate, he freaks out and leaves.
    • At the end of the Act 5 mission briefing, Snake raises his hand and wiggles his fingers like an eager student. It's hilarious. And then when Mei Ling calls on him, he asks, "Anybody got a smoke?" Meryl groans, and his Psyche Meter drains.
    • The mission briefing where Sunny just walks up, snatches the cigarette out of Snake's hand, and yells "This is a non-smoking flight!". His Psyche meter drains a quarter, like "I just got my ass handed to me by a little girl. I am not a man."
    • Sneaking up on a soldier and holding them up at gunpoint, patting them down, followed by a very special knockout move. Their high pitched squeal of pain just makes it better.
      • Even funnier when done on a woman.
    • Your Mileage may very, but all of Akiba's scenes before he took a level in badass.
    • Vamp muttering "I'll be taking a nap." and falling over after getting shot in the head.
  • There's a Codec conversation with Roy and Rose that says about how Rose is a Lethal Chef. She also states that likes American military rations, after Roy had said how America has the crappiest tasting rations in the world.

Roy: America for the win.

  • In what is otherwise a fairly serious scene full of carnage, Ocelot is doing this.
  • After the epic fight between Metal Gears RAY and REX, Liquid Ocelot jumps out of RAY and... runs away, doing the most childish gestures and laughs as Snake limps after him.
  • In Act 4, if you open an optional codec before opening the back door of the nuclear storage facility, Otacon will refer back to the time when Snake defeated Raven's Tank single-handedly, calling it a Crowning Moment of Awesome and Snake "a Badass - the shit!
