History Funny / MechWarrior

** At one point, Mason complains [[FeelingTheirAge he's getting too old for this]]. These missions take place in mid 3041, a full ''twenty-six'' years after the campaign canonically starts in 3015, meaning he's being sincere.

* One of the Pilots you can hire is wearing an old Neurohelmet. Old here meaning from the original sourcebooks and looks like a cross between Abe Lincoln's Stovepipe hat and Galactus' helmet.

--> “Feel free to approach the targets if you find them difficult to hit. Your secret is safe with me: [[{{DeadpanSnarker}}I will not tell a single soul of your incompetence, trust me.”]]

--> '''Gunner''': "[[JoinTheArmyTheySaid Join the army, see the galaxy]]!" What the hell was I thinking?

* The physics engine sometimes has a field day when a 'Mech is destroyed, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI8nwktbuiY like so]]. Particularly hard hits can sometimes cause 'Mechs to backflip. Amusingly, catastrophic ammunition explosions [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nEB_lBiEzE occasionally produce much more entertaining results than just an explosion]].

* ''All Systems Nominal'' is a series of animations based on ''[=MechWarrior=] Online'' made by [=NoGutsNoGalaxyTV=] member, PLEXI that features all sorts of {{Fandom Nod}}s, name based gags and general silliness that humanizes the 'mechs themselves rather than the mechwarriors piloting them.

--> '''George Ledoux''': "Take them out of an Atlas and stick 'em in a Camaro, I bet they'll learn a lot about humility!" We should put that in there, see if anyone notices. "I have no weapons! *explosion noises*". [[note]]This outtake was originally about a line talking about taking the the big league [=MechWarriors=] out of their ''Atlas'' and sticking them in something like a ''Chimera'' to teach them humility.[[/note]]

--> '''George Ledoux''': "Take them out of an Atlas and stick 'em in a Camaro, I bet they'll learn a lot about humility!" We should put that in there, see if anyone notices. "I have no weapons! *explosion noises*".
--> '''George Ledoux''': "First time they fire that monster [presumably referring to a PPC], [[{{Overheating}} you can bet some pilots panic]]!" [[{{Corpsing}} Hahahahaha]]! I read that one.

--> '''Duncan Fisher''' upon the death of a 'Mech with an AwesomeMcCoolName such as an Awesome: That 'Mech did ''not'' live up to it's name.
* Also in ''Mercenaries'', your 'mech will sometimes do the monkey after a successful match. Yes, your 'mech ''can dance''. This is due to the fact the game doesn't assign any unique AI actions for your 'mech sometimes, thus if you turn as player control is taken away for the cutscene, your 'mech will keep turning on it's own.

** “Geisha House” contains [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar “use your imagination.”]]

--> “Feel free to approach the targets. Your secret is safe with me: I will not tell a single soul of your incompetence, trust me.”

--> “Out there at Nav Alpha is a drone mech. It is not fast and has outdated weapons. Nonetheless it is dangerous to fleshy-headed mutants like yourself.”

* The cheat to disable overheating is “freebirthtoad.”

** “Geisha House” has [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar “use your imagination.”]]

** “Oh Just A Building” contains “Activision.” (Destroying this building causes your mech to explode!)

** “Fastmart” contains “Yummy treats.”

* In one of the urban missions, there’s a far-off building that, when inspected, reveals itself to be Activision’s offices. Destroying it results in your mech ''exploding.''

* The [[DrillSargeantNasty instructor]] in the tutorial missions is full of this.

--> “Out there at Nav Alpha is a drone mech. It is not fast and has outdated weapons. Nonetheless it is still a threat to fleshy-headed mutants like yourself.”
