* Many of the [[MechaMooks DeeBees]] have hilarious dialogue that makes them appear as InnocentlyInsensitive, naive, or outright sadistic. There's also a dialogue piece that shows what happens behind the scenes of their voice lines...

* Early in Gears of War 5, you see a script for Embry: The Musical, which.... is very clearly a reference to ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''.

* Baird, Marcus and New Delta Squad are discussing testing the Hammer of Dawn.
-->'''Baird:'''For that, we're gonna need a test fire.\\
'''Marcus:''' Forget test fires, we need an actual target.\\
'''Fahz:''' Uh, if we're selecting targets, shouldn't someone with real military authority be here?.\\
'''Marcus:''' [glaring at Fahz] It's Fahz, right?\\
'''Fahz:''' Yes sir.\\
'''Marcus:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Shut the]] [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] [[ShutUpHannibal up]], Fahz.\\
'''Fahz:''' Yep, sir.
* As the Swarm begin their attack on Old Ephyra, indicated by a massive tremor, Baird tries to link up with external cameras. Each attempt fails.
-->'''I.R.IS.:''' Multiple security breaches. Old Ephyra Ruins.\\
'''Baird:''' External camera sixteen.\\
''[The display returns an error stating that the camera is offline.]''\\
'''Baird:''' External camera fifteen!\\
''[The display again returns an error stating that the camera is offline.]''\\
'''Baird:''' Camera ten!\\

'''Baird:''' Ugh, dammit!

* More of a FunnyAneurysmMoment if anything, but now that [[spoiler:Dom is dead]], Marcus won't get the $20 he was owed for winning a Thrashball bet.
** Less FunnyAneurysmMoment and more BrickJoke, as one of the collectibles (If I remember) was 20 bucks, near the beginning of the game. Due to the world they live in now, the money is completely worthless

* There are plenty of friendly fire quotes that characters will utter if you manage to hit them with your shots and vice-versa. Most of them are calmly asking your assailant to get out of the way or delivering an appropriate WhatTheHellPlayer response, but [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools fortunately for us]], a few of the lines are gut-bustingly funny. [[UpToEleven And the best part is you'll hear them a lot since the fast-paced gameplay leads to teammates shooting each other frequently]].

Added DiffLines:

* Pretty much a good 1/3-to-1/2 of Cole's lines are funny.
-->''[The group is trying to outrun a wall of debris inside the Riftworm]''
-->'''Cole''': God-DAMN, this thing can eat!!
* Dom and Marcus are locked out of a heavy security door by an AI demanding proper access. Baird improvises an explosive solution, and Dom and Marcus haul it back.
-->'''Niles''': Welcome back. Do you now have proper identification?
-->'''Marcus''': Oh, yeah. We've got ''plenty'' of identification for you. ''[BOOM!]''
-->'''Niles''': ...Access granted! Please, come in!
* Dom and Marcus had just killed a Berserker using the Hammer of Dawn. This also happens to be one of the [[ThatOneBoss hardest parts of the game.]]
-->'''Dom''': How about, we never do that again?

Added DiffLines:

*** Extra funny is that the line is clearly ad-libbed by Marcus's voice actor Creator/JohnDiMaggio, which would seem to indicate that when in-character as angry Marcus, [=DiMaggio=]'s instinct is to yell at Baird (who isn't actually present at the moment).

* As pictured in the above image, there is a hilarious EasterEgg in ''Gears 2'' involving Dizzy's hat. When the player first meets Dizzy aboard his assault derrick, they can end the conversation restricting their movement early and move around before the derrick starts moving. There are 3 hats hidden around the environment that can be shot during this time. If the player shoots all of them, everyone around them will be wearing Dizzy's cowboy hat. When you get to the part where you are accosted by a Corpser, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny it will burst out of the ground wearing an oversized hat and will let rip a glorious "yeeeeeehaaaaaaw!"]].

* When Delta heads to the Stranded camp, they are forced to leave Cole and Baird behind as collateral, since the Stranded could use the extra guns. At one point, a Stranded figures out that Cole is a Thrashball star and throws the whole camp a huge dinner. Excitement is in the air...except for [[DeadpanSnarker Baird]], who is far more concerned over the Stranded's LethalChef meal.
