** The soundtrack of Tropico 4 is even better altought it may not be as catchy.
* [[Ear Worm]]: Tropico 3 is ''rife'' with these. ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcdftzRX0S8&feature=related La Gata Loca]'' is catchy in its odd, quirky way, whereas ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGLomkqW5rg&feature=related Verde Y Madure]'' and ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3vOb0jRr0M&feature=related Asi! Vamos!]'' take the more jackhammer-inspired approach, and...heck, about ''two-thirds'' of Tropico 3's soundtrack qualify. Made about 10 times worse if you're not a Spanish speaker yourself.
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: In election speeches, El Presidente will say that the island's rebels are "anarchists, who could not care less for this island". This mirrors the real life way in which many people believe anarchists to have [[Anarchy Is Chaos|no political ideas]], only a desire to [[Bomb
* [[Goddamn Bats]]: Thanks to how schools work in 4, ''forget'' about keeping the Nationalists happy. (Basically, they hate immigrants...but you often need to hire a foreign immigrant to teach at schools to get the ball rolling, so....)

*** BIG FURRY HUG!
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The tone of 4 is largely light-hearted, and all announcements from faction heads are at the worst darkly humourous... until you fail to provide enough food. Then Reverend Esteban will matter-of-factly inform you that he officiated at the funeral of another starvation victim today. [[You Bastard|A young child]].
* [[The Scrappy]]: [[Announcer Chatter|Juanito]] failed to win himself many fans due to his [[Broken Record|repetitiveness]] and [[Large Ham]] tendencies [[Ear Rape|(which does not mix at all well with low-fi radio)]] - so much so that the ''Absolute Power'' expansion pack allowed you to [[Alas, Poor Scrappy|execute him and shut him up for good.]] [[It Got Worse|Unfortunately, this was balanced out]] by the introduction of the ''infinitely'' more annoying [[Voice of the Resistance|Betty Boom.]]<ref>[[Take a Third Option|Alternatively, you can just disable the radio entirely in the options menu.]]</ref>
** It's been taken further - there's now an achievement in 4 for [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|killing any citizen with his name]].
