History Funny / Fallout4

* If Nick Valentine is your companion when you're in a Brotherhood of Steel area, one of their rank-and-file initiates can scornfully remark that it's an abomination for machines to have ''free will''. Nick's response?
--> '''Nick Valentine:''' Why? Are you jealous that you had to give up yours?

---> '''Sole Survivor:''' What? The great [[{{Android}} Clockwork]] [[StealthInsult Dick]] is stumped?

-->'''Bobbi:''' [[LamePunReaction What? No.]]

* Hancock has a real [[IncrediblyLamePun ghoulish]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdzpTUnkmUY joke]]:

*** The kicker? [=DiMA=] plays along, supposing that they'll make the memories... [[IncrediblyLamePun fuzzy]].

*** Back on Takahashi himself, there's the meta-humor in the fact that he's voiced by none other than Creator/ShinjiMikami. Yes, the creator of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' is in ''Fallout''...and they only gave him one line of dialog. This is only made funnier by Nora, MacReady, and Danse himself being played by actors who've played characters in that series (Courtenay Taylor was Ada Wong for a time, often opposite Matthew Mercer as Leon Kennedy, and Peter Jessop played Albert Wesker in the Resident Evil remake).

** Get Nick, Preston, Macready, or Hancock as your companion. Head to Vault 88, build a Pommel Horse, tell them to use it. [[HilarityEnsues Observe]]. Now go back, build one in Sanctuary, and wait for Mama Murphy to hop on. You can also [[ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask carry on a conversation with your companions while they're twirling away]] on the pommel horse or struggling with the weight bench, with them not missing a beat.

* During Nick Valentine's personal quest, {{Irish mob}}ster Eddie Winter will ask the Sole Survivor just who the hell they are. This leads to one of the best sarcastic dialogue options in the game:

** Codsworth engages in a pleasant (though one-sided) conversation with the robot in English, and tells Takahashi to keep up hope someone will find the parts to fix him.

--> '''Strong''': Oh, they know. [[SchmuckBait You bait to catch more humans]].

--> '''Strong''': [[DumbMuscle Strong thought you knew!]]

** Her attempted execution story is also hilarious. So is the protagonist's reaction.

--->'''Trapper:''' Fresh meat crawling in from the Fog? Don't care if it's Mirelurk or human...\\

* If you beat the Institute with the Minutemen, but stayed on good terms with the Brotherhood of Steel, and you visit the ''Prydwen'' afterwards, most in the Brotherhood save for Proctor Teagan will be incredulous or annoyed that you didn't call in your Brothers or Sisters to the fight. But a few [=NPCs=] besides Teagan have more positive responses: Proctor Quinlan for example compliments your [[ManipulativeBastard "inspired"]] tactic of using local forces as CannonFodder to minimize Brotherhood casualties, while Senior Scribe Neriah, who's researching mutated life forms, heartily thanks you for setting off a nuclear explosion, thus giving her a golden opportunity to study radiation's effects on the local wildlife. [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame Thanks, guys.]]

** Sticking the Operators in Kiddy Kingdom will result in you being asked if they'll get a liquor ration because [[INeedAFreakingDrink they don't want to be there while sober]].

* One of the major problems that Nuka-World's Safari Adventure Zone faced was the local AnimalWrongsGroup, AFAD (Animal Friends and Defenders). [[IsThisThingStillOn Read their manifesto to get an idea of how competent these people are]].

*** Though they ''will'' sound noticeably strained when the Sheriff Protectron asks them if they've had fun in Mad Mulligan's Mine (which is full of [[{{Squick}} Bloodworms exploding messily out of buffalo carcasses left and right), proclaiming through gritted teeth that it was "more fun than a bale full of hay!".

-->'''Nick:''' It's nice to know that even when I'm about to have a foreign object inserted into my noggin;, you find new, horrible ways to laugh at my expense.* The Malden Police Department has a file on an armed robbery at Slocum's Joe, [[EpicFail which is right next door]]. There are statements from four witnesses, [[DonutMessWithACop all of them cops]]. The shotgun used in the robbery was not fired, implying either the robber [[KnowWhenToFoldEm did the sensible thing and immediately surrendered]], or the cops shot him before he even realized how badly he messed up.

-->'''Sole Survivor''': [[BluntYes Damn Right]]. You should thank me. (''posh accent'') It’s not every day I wander out to visit the peasants.

* In the Nuka-Town Market, there is the weapons’ vendor Aaron. He is (quite understandably) unhappy with being enslaved and forced to serve the raiders, but he still has his dry wit. When the player character meets him for the first time as Raider Over-boss, they can choose the “Sarcastic” response to him that leads to perhaps the funniest case of SnarkToSnarkCombat in the entire game:

-->'''Aaron''': Well, well. Look who it is. Are you here to grace my humble market-stand with your presence, oh’ great boss sir?
