* In the cutscene for "Clones Down Under", Carville briefs his generals on Yuri's cloning operation in Sydney. While Carville takes the whole thing seriously, the general whose face is visible looks at Carville with an expression that just screams "[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe This is fucking absurd.]]"
* In "Trick or Treaty", President Dugan implores the commander to protect the peace negotiations by saying "[[VicePresidentWho You don't want the Vice President running the country, do you?!]]".

* For both the base game and ''Yuri's Revenge'', there's an occasional "glitch" in the walking animation for the Engineer. Sometimes, the walking will briefly freeze and he continues to slide forward. This makes it almost look like the Engineer is ''roller/ice skating!''

** This gets even more hilarious when you [[FridgeBrilliance realize that]], while Yuri may be an unhinged lunatic, he hasn't come up with any original idea of his own. The bio-reactors? He stole that idea from ''Film/TheMatrix''. Brutes? ''ComicBook/TheincredibleHulk'' with the SerialNumbersFiledOff. Making an army of inferior clones of himself? Every cheesy sci-fi ever. Brain-powered tank? ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}''. The grinder that turns soldiers into HumanResources? {{Film}}/SoylentGreen. Yuri '''has''' indeed been watching too much TV.

* In the Allied ending, Romanov is captured... hiding underneath his desk, [[ItMakesSenseInContext in his underwear]]. Underwear with ''[[GoofyPrintUnderwear hammer and sickle motifs on them]]''. He must really love the Soviet Union.


Added DiffLines:

** Romanov is playing with a toy rocket and making ''woooooosh'' sounds.
** In the moon mission you can train Cosmonauts, who are essentially Rocketeers with laser guns. One of their death screams where they're shot down is pure BlackComedy.
-->'''Cosmonaut:''' WE NEED MORE FUNDING!

* This is the first game in the series that allows you to garrison civilian structures to add to your infantry's offensive and defensive power. Any building can be garrisoned, from office buildings or the Pentagon to fast-food restaurants. But what puts it in this section is the fact that when you garrison a building, it visually changes: sandbags appear, barbed wire, barricaded windows... even appearing on a ''Port-A-Potty''. Some of the fast food mascots like [=McBurger=] Kong can bandannas and machine guns!

* In Allied Mission 3, the mind-controlled General Carville cheerfully extols the virtues of communism while stirring his coffee with a Soviet flag. He's "realized" the commies just want the same thing as Americans: female companionship and a big steak.
* In Soviet Mission 7, General Vladimir is shown wiping his boots with the American flag in the occupied White House. It should be insulting, but his casual disregard for America is [[CrossesTheLineTwice just so humorous]].

* If you fail to destroy the Psychic Beacon in time in the eighth Allied mission, Tanya gets mind-controlled and you are treated with the only failure cutscene in the whole game, where Tanya tries to plead the commander to join the Soviet cause just like her... but you'd be excused for thinking that Tanya was acting like she was drunk.
