History Funny / FinalFantasyVIII

-> Cid: "So, how did it feel out there on the battlefield?"
--> ''Felt good''\\

-> Squall: "Whatever."\\

* If you chose to walk the long way round the cliff to the Dollet communication tower instead of following Selphie ''jumping straight down the cliff'', there's brief moment with Zell aping one of Selphie's poses.

* If you approach the Galbadian missile base on foot when it's time for Selphie's party to infiltrate instead of just driving up in the stolen vehicle, you're treated to a scene of cute, sweet GenkiGirl Selphie trying to wheedle the gate guard into letting her and her friends in:
--> '''Guard''': "This isn't some kinda club you can sweet talk your way into. Besides, you're just a kid. I prefer someone more mature."
--> '''Selphie''': "Up yours!"

* Summoning the Tonberry Guardian Force: "Doink!"
* Squall's first impression of Laguna (AKA his [[spoiler:father]]).
-->'''Squall:''' I dreamt I was a moron.
** YourMileageMayVary on how much [[spoiler:ParentalAbandonment]] adds to this. This troper's opinion? Makes it the funniest line in the game, probably.

* Cactuar.
** Speaking of which, Squall has several standard move patterns for his LimitBreak (with varying numbers of trigger-for-bonus-damage spots) amongst which the game chooses randomly, with some important bosses getting unique ones. The Jumbo Cactuar [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRRxqrnLa4g has this]].

* During the battle which erupts at Balamb Garden between supporters of NORG and Headmaster Cid, a staff member and two trained Balamb students corner a [=SeeD=] defending two children in the training facility. One of the children declares he will help fight, and one of the students approaches him menacingly...only to reel over after the boy kicks him in the shin.
* Irvine tries to finish off his BigDamnHeroes moment at the D-District Prison by making a casual, sauntering entrance... the effect of which is spoiled when Rinoa ''kicks him down the stairs'' and tells him to hurry up and stop trying to act cool.
* The landing at Fisherman's Horizon. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb_qhvs_nm0 The Master Fisherman keeps trying for that fish a stupidly long time (Starts around 4:30)]].
* Squall, upon discovering the identity of the Garden Master, reflects that come to think of it, he's never heard anything about him before.
-->'''Squall:''' (.........[[TheSnarkKnight What a shock.]])
* Bringing Irvine into Zell's room with you when you and Zell go and liberate Balamb in Disc 2 releases his inner child, by firing off the rifles in Zell's Room.
-->'''Zell:''' YOOOOO!! THE HELL YOU DOIN!?!
-->'''Squall:''' (I knew he would.)
* For [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII some reason]], I thought it was hilarious when Squall said "This guy '''is''' sick." about Irvine at the Fisherman's Horizon.

* I can't believe nobody mentioned when Rinoa kicked Irvine down the stairs telling him to hurry up after he was trying to look dramatic and cool.

-->'''Squall:''' (I knew he would)

** Speaking of which, Squall has several standard move patterns for his LimitBreak (with varying numbers of trigger-for-bonus-damage spots) amongst which the game chooses randomly. The Jumbo Cactuar [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRRxqrnLa4g has its own unique dance one]].

* When LaResistance are discussing what the message the Galbadians want to broadcast all around the world, Selphie guesses: "Love! And peace!"

-->'''Squall:''' (.........What a shock.)

* '''Squall:''' [''upon discovering the identity of the Garden Master''] .........What a shock.

** Within that sequence is Selphie suddenly suggesting they blow up the train with a rocket launcher. Which actually might have worked...

* Selphie suggesting they skin the [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Moomba]] [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant and use him a costume to escape prison...]] with Zell not being totally sure she's joking.

-->Zell: I hope this ain't the case but, I can picture Selphie in the pilot seat, and...
-->Quistis: ...Selphie screaming. Whoo-hoo, we're flying!
-->Squall: And standing next to her, a very excited Irvine...
** Then the party goes downstairs...
-->Selphie: Whoo-hoo! We're flying!
-->Irvine: Selphie's just amazing!
* During the battle which erupts at Balamb Garden between supporters of NORG and Headmaster Cid, a staff member and two trained Balamb students corner a SeeD defending two children in the training facility. One of the children declares he will help fight, and one of the students approaches him menacingly...only to reel over after the boy kicks him in the shin.

* When LaResistance are discussing what the message the Galbadians want to broadcast all around the world, Selphie guesses: "Peace and love for everyone!"

** If you approach the Galbadian missile base on foot when it's time for Selphie's party to infiltrate instead of just driving up in the stolen vehicle, you're treated to a scene of cute, sweet GenkiGirl Selphie trying to wheedle the gate guard into letting her and her friends in:
---> '''Guard''': "This isn't some kinda club you can sweet talk your way into. Besides, you're just a kid. I prefer someone more mature."
---> '''Selphie''': "Up yours!"
** The entire first LaResistance scene and how annoyed Squall is that they're making him fetch Rinoa so they can begin the briefing.
** Or when you arrive at Timber. The LaResistance member coming to pick you up recognizes that you are the [=SeeD=] immediately and asks you for the password. If you get it wrong, however, he decides to lead you to their secret base anyway since "these guys cost us a lot of money!"
