** "Ask us about Sevastapol safety protocols" while they are trying to strangle you to death. Very safe.
** When you’re running away from them, usually while they are trying to murder you, they may say "running causes accidents".
** "You’re becoming hysterical" is quite darkly funny by itself. Especially since it’s incredibly obvious that you’re becoming hysterical at a synthetic trying its best to kill you. When the robots are trying to kill you and are hostile on sight, it becomes simultaneously horrifying and hilarious when this robot that is trying to kill you on sight says that you’re becoming hysterical for trying to defend yourself from the robot that murders humans.

Added DiffLines:

* The Xenomorph itself can veer into Black Comedy territory:
** Just the fact that it’s heavily implied that this one Xenomorph is hunting you specifically, out of hundreds of humans on the ship, because it has a sense of pride and is frustrated at you for constantly evading its attempts to kill you. While it’s horrifying that a Xenomorph can develop these kind of emotions, it’s also weirdly funny that it stalks you across a huge spaceship because it’s salty that you survived it.
** The Xenomorph’s stalking also falls into this. While being hunted down by the Alien is one of the most horrifying experiences in gaming generally, it can be quite funny when you evade a damn Xenomorph simply by crouching behind a table and moving around like a weird game of Ring around the Rosies. The deadliest organism in the universe, stopped by a table.

* When Ripley returns to Kuhlman after encountering the Alien in medical, she's pissed he sent her down to medical when he knew the Alien was there. Kuhlman's retorts,"Now that's unfair. I thought it 'might' be there. There's a difference."

** The fact that Ripley gets increasing more frustrated and deadpan as more issues come up adds a bit of humor as well. By a later point in the game, she pretty much can be heard rolling her eyes whenever an update comes in.

* After he jettisons you from the main ship, you tell Waits that you want to "discuss" the ethics of his actions. This is immediately followed by you finding ''a shotgun.'' It seems that Amanda has the same definition of "discuss" that her mother does - namely, threaten shit until they apologise and/or fix their problems.

* Nothing says "I am so sick of this shit" like Amanda's responses to Ricardo when he tries to make her aware of "something wrong with the androids":
-->'''Ricardo:''' I'm about to rain on the parade, Rip. Something's wrong with the androids...
-->'''Ripley:''' Something's ''been'' wrong with the damn androids since I got here!
-->'''Ricardo:''' No, this is different! I just saw a bunch of them together in public gathering areas. That's not normal!
-->'''Ripley:''' (sighs) ...Great...

* There's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo7Lq4C3KUM certain spot in the game]] where a hallway has a stack of crates that you can crawl though, [[InsurmountableWaistHighFence but the Xenomorph inexplicably]] ''[[InsurmountableWaistHighFence can't]]''--it won't even try to jump above them. It can bypass it by using the vents, but it still makes for a very fun way of teasing it by moving back and forth between the crates.

* When heading to the detachable genimi lab, you can find a child's toy robot in a break room that talks when you get close to it. After asking standard kid questions about playing games, drawing pictures, singing songs, and the like, it starts to spout Seegson propaganda.

* Right before you find the bolt gun in the Engineering Decks, you come across a bulletin board with three letters of complaint on it with an angry message from Chief Porter underneath them, reading: "I don't want to receive another of these. STOP fucking weaponizing the tools!". Apparently, making bolt guns is a favourite pastime for bored engineers.
