History Funny / KillerInstinct

** HilariousInHindsight now that we know Jago is Orchid's brother.

** ARIA's stage ultra, in which the victim is knocked out the skyscraper window and spends a solid 10 seconds comically waving their arms as their fall is viewed from multiple angles, sparks erupting as they make contact with the [=UltraTech=] logo on the ground.

* The backstories for Fulgore and Riptor are presented as operating manuals, and while they have some vanilla funny moments, such as the Riptor manual telling you to refrain from making Film/JurassicPark jokes to them because they don't like it, a lot of it is just straight up BlackComedy that turns [=UltraTech's=] ComedicSociopathy UpToEleven.

* Riptor's Ultimate Combo involves her tail-whipping her opponent into the air and jumping after them, only to barely miss taking a bite out of her enemy. She's so pissed after her embarrassing whiff that she flails around in disappointment and just roasts her opponent alive. She then curls up in their flaming ashes like a tired cat.
* Orchid's Ultimate Combo in the original game. She flashes her breasts at the opponent, who does an EyePop and dies on the spot. [[DevelopersForesight If she does it to another Orchid]], the other Orchid stomps in frustration instead.

** There's also the way their bodies spasm when Hisako breaks them from the inside. Spinal's skull actually pops off his body cartoonishly for a moment.

* Hisako's Ultimate. Sure it's creepy, but the looks of OhCrap from the opponents as she slithers up behind them [[https://youtu.be/lGeE_cr4-zQ can be comedy gold]]. Not even ''[[HorrifyingTheHorror Gargos]]'' is immune.

** Kilgore's Ultimate has it fire a huge rocket and hold it's foe for the impact, exploding just before the impact. The result? One [[ImOkay dazed Kilgore]], getting itself back up. As for it's foe...they generally deliver either an OhCrap face (Kim Wu's in particular stand's out) an ThisIsGonnaSuck face, with Saberwulf, Riptor, Rash, and both sides of Eyedol being most noticeable. Kan-Ra however, [[GoOutWithASmile Goes with a evil smile instead]]

--> '''Kim Wu:''' "I've got a ''[[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons friggin' dragon!]]'' [[DeadpanSnarker You can see how this ends, right?]]"

** Another funny thing to note is his encounter with '''ARIA'''. '''ARIA''' triggers her [[FusionDance Instinct Mode]], and Eyedol triggers his. What signals Eyedol's Instinct? An WoundedGazelleWarcry with ''both halfs'' of Eyedol's head, [[{{Beat}} shortly]] before realizing what he just did, with an rather silly look on both halfs of his face.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhqucXmpgdg Spinal's ending in the first game.]] [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer We are not making any of it up.]]

** Kilgore's Ultimate has it fire a huge rocket and hold it's foe for the impact, exploding just before the impact. The result? One [[ImOkay dazed Kilgore]], getting itself back up. As for it's foe...they generally deliver an ThisIsGonnaSuck face, with Saberwulf, Riptor, Rash, and both sides of Eyedol being most noticeable. Kan-Ra however, [[GoOutWithASmile Goes with a evil smile instead]]

* A commercial for Dell laptops and Film/SpiderManHomecoming has Peter Parker seeing his teacher as Mira and one of his fellow students as Kim Wu.

* Kilgore, Fulgore's predacessor, has its intro framed as its activation sequence. However, it seems self-aware of its [[FlawedPrototype issues]], and in response to its miniguns jamming, it actually stares at them, starts shaking them angrily, and flares its chestplate in frustration before taking a proper stance.

** Hisako's stage ultra, which is a nice mix of funny and creepy. The victim is knocked to the right side of the screen after a few smacks from the winner. Suddenly, ghostly black hands begin to [[DraggedOffToHell drag the victim under the ground]]; the victim struggles as much as they can, but they're sucked under...but then the hole opens back up, as the victim has ALMOST successfully escaped. The winner proceeds to quickly run over and knock their opponent back down into the pit with a quick strike. Especially funny when either Kan-Ra or Rash do it, because the former bursts into evil laughter when he does it, and the latter screams in fear like a cartoon character before knocking them back under. Even better is with General Ramm, who [[GoombaStomp jumps on the opponent like they're a goomba.]]

** His trailer also adds in something hilarious: So Gargos is free in the world [[spoiler:thanks to Kan-Ra thinking he can control him]], and nobody has a way to stop it. So what does Kan-Ra decide to do? Summon ''another'' interdimensional warlord to serve him and kill Gargos. While Gargos just let the idiot alive, Eyedol isn't anywhere near that merciful.

* Eyedol's new design is hideous, but as a result of his design, he is two characters in one that have a chance to switch off every time a special move is used. So how do you try to invoke the change on command? Punch the ''shit'' out of the inactive head until it wakes up. It does damage to Eyedol, and it's possible to kill yourself with it if you do it too much.

* In his reveal trailer, despite how cool it is, [[spoiler: Gargos apparently being able to punch rapidly from across the screen brings to mind the Stands from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.]]
