Click * Francis' hate of almost random things in ''Left4Dead''. "I hate vans." "I hate small towns." "I hate stairs." "I hate hospitals, and cops, and lawyers." and of course. "I hate Ayn Rand" Actually gets called out on it at one point.
--->'''Bill:''' Francis, is there anything you don't hate?
--->'''Francis:''' Know what I don't hate? I don't hate vests.
** Hilariously turned around in
the edit button promo for ''The Passing'' when Francis and Rochelle seem to start find something in common.
--->'''Rochelle:''' I hate those stairs.
--->'''Francis:''' I ''know''!!
--->'''Rochelle:''' I hate that bridge!
--->'''Francis:''' It's ''so stupid!''
--->'''Rochelle:''' I hate your vest!
--->'''Francis:''' [[{{beat}} ...]] ''What now''?? Ugh. I don't think
this new page. is going to work out.
** The notorious [[HumansAreBastards "WE ARE THE REAL MONSTERS" graffiti]] -- not for the message it's trying to convey, but for the {{Troll}}-like responses scrawled underneath it...with the real kicker being the whimsical, "I miss the internet."
*** Also done in one of the Crash Course safehouses, where somebody writes a {{Glurge}}-y TastesLikeDiabetes poem about somebody who died, and is ripped apart in an identical manner. "PS IM FAT" "[[MemeticMutation Cool story bro!]]" "Dear Allison / Roses are red / Violents are blue / You suck" "Jesus, lady I'm hiding from zombies and reading your poem was the worst thing that happened to me today"
** Any comment from a survivor hit by friendly fire and the dialog exchange between the survivors and the crazy church guy in Death Toll. Francis says it best:
---> '''Crazy Church Guy''': Who's out there!?
---> '''Francis''': Well let's see. I'm Francis, and that's Grandpa Bill, and-- THERE'S ZOMBIES OUT HERE, OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR!
** If you fall on a zombie, from any height, you take no damage and it dies. * squish*
** Boomers explode when they die. Like everything else, they take damage from falls, and can die from them. Since infected will often leap off buildings to get from place to place, it's not uncommon to hear a boomer explosion echo throughout an otherwise peaceful night. It's even more hilarious to watch it happen.
** The sequel has its moments, too. Especially Ellis' Keith stories. Classic, just classic.
** The locations of where the infected spawn are purely random, but sometimes they appear in the most weirdest places. This troper once ran into a Tank inside the woman's bathroom!
*** Speaking of the Infected, the Hunters seem to die in ways that make everyone on a server laugh alot of the time due to the knockback of the weapons turned on it, and if he's in the air.
** This bit from The Parish, right after all the alarmed cars:
---> '''Nick:''' Hey, I think we're gonna make it.\\
''[A bomb explodes a few meters in front of them, taking out the bridge]''\\
'''Nick:''' OH '''COME ON!'''
** From The Passing:
---> Ellis: Aw, c'mon Coach, that biker guy seemed nice
---> Coach: He's probably stolen the [[CoolCar Jimmy]] [[CompanionCube Gibbs]] [[CargoShip Jnr]] by now.
---> Ellis: He is a dead man.
