History Funny / MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvwxq44vLw0 Watch what happens]] when Naked Snake fakes his death in front of [[spoiler:The Boss. As she is well acquainted with how the fake death pill, she merely slashes at your fake death-induced "corpse", depleting your actual health instead.]].

* When Ocelot and Snake have one final hand-to-hand duel at the end of the game, Ocelot uses an opening to go for an [[EyeScream eye jab.]] Snake briefly grunts- before the camera cuts to reminding us he's got an [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] and a useless eye, panning out to show him wearing a [[JustForPun snake-eating]] grin in absolute smugness before Ocelot realizes his folly.

** In the end, Raiden decided to go forward to Metal Gear 2 and kill Solid Snake (circa Zanzibar Land) there, complete with actual 8-bit graphics. However, he gets shot by Big Boss, claims that he should have killed him when he had the chance, then the screen fades to black. The last line involves Rosemary saying that [[HilariousInHindsight there will probably be a]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain MGS5]]. And sure enough, Raiden does return as the main character in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'', salvaging something out of the sheer humiliation the poor guy had to put up with.

** [=MGS3=] takes a lot of potshots at Raiden. One of the Codec conversations has Major Zero and Snake talk about the Raiden mask, which ends with them talking about the guy it's based on:
--->'''Naked Snake:''' What do I do if I meet that guy?\\
'''Zero:''' Beat the crap out of him.
** There's also this gem after you get Raikov's suit and call the Major.

*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Yzy-ucz0Y Payback]]: The DCI ''wants his handshake, dammit.''

* At one point in the prologue, Snake sees a guard at the bridge. He looks up, notices a beehive up in the tree... and his face splits into that hilariously wicked smile on the top of this page.

''(Raiden teleports to the FinalBoss scene, and gets a nice view of The Boss's AbsoluteCleavage... [[MoodWhiplash and promptly gets bitch-slapped, while Snake stares in shock]])''\\

* The conversations Snake has with Para-Medic and Sigint about his cigars.

* When [[spoiler:escorting a badly-wounded Eva through an enemy-patrolled forest, when her stamina gets near-empty, she laments on how hungry she is, and even whines about how badly she wants some [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Instant Noodles]], though it actually helps at her beginning spot in the second forest area as she ducks down, thus having her harder to spot by the enemy soldiers whilst you take them down, thus keeping both you and her out of trouble and risking an Alert happening.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvwxq44vLw0 Watch what happens]] when Naked Snake fakes his death in front of [[spoiler:The Boss]].

** Ocelot's meow, it's so disarming and anticlimactic. And he uses it to call in his soldiers, so it gets used more than once.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_inline_nhmwakix861sd85l8.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Likely also your face when you and Snake find out there's a beehive over a {{Mook}}.]]

* The Food codec calls. Often times, they're long and incredibly one-sided on Para-Medic's part, so he often gets so bored and just spaces out, [[RunningGag then asks how it tastes]]. He even asks the tastes regarding foods like [[TooDumbToLive mushrooms that are explicitly poisonous.]]''

'''Naked Snake:''' It was poisonous.\\

** The Secret Theater videos are all pretty funny. Sadly, they were left out of the HD re-release though. Most notable examples including:

*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Yzy-ucz0Y Payback]]: The DCI '''wants his handshake, dammit.'''

* The trailer for the 3DS version features a cameo by [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Yoshi.]] Yes, really. And Yoshi replaces the Kerotan frogs in the 3DS version.

* The very bombastic Bond-like theme song loses its sheen somewhat when it gets to the line about eating tree frogs.
* Big Boss falling in love with the first Cardboard Box of the series, and claiming that he feels at peace when he is inside of it, as if it was his destiny for him and the box to meet. What clinches it is Sigint's disbelief at Big Boss using the box as a means of camouflage and saying that he doesn't wanna know what he means when he says that he feels safe inside the box, promptly ending the conversation. Furthermore this gives a hilarious insight into why Snake (and even Liquid, according to Super Smash Brothers Brawl) likes the Cardboard Box so much, it runs in the family.
-->'''[=SigInt=]:''' Uh... Snake? What are you doing?\\
'''Naked Snake:''' I'm in a box.\\
'''[=SigInt=]:''' A cardboard box? Why are you -- ?\\
'''Naked Snake:''' I dunno. I was just looking at it, and suddenly I got this irresistible urge to get inside. No, not an urge - ''more'' than that. It was my destiny to be here; In the box!\\

'''[=SigInt=]:''' ...\\

'''Naked Snake:''' ''You'' should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean.\\
'''[=SigInt=]:''' Man, I don't wanna know what you mean! Between you and Para-Medic, is everyone but me that is hooked up with the Major strange!?\\
'''Naked Snake:''' [[ShrugTake Uh, er, uh.]]\\

** Becomes HilariousInHindsight when you consider what happens when Paz or [[GayOption Kaz]] join you inside your box in ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker Peace Walker]]''.

'''Naked Snake:''' What's wrong?\\
'''Para-Medic:''' I, uh... that's... that's great! Um, Snake, can you excuse me for a second?\\

'''[=SigInt=]:''' Beats me... maybe it's all in his mind.\\

'''Para-Medic:''' Okay, Snake, I'm back. ''Yes'', the Russian glowcap is a glowing mushroom, so it'll recharge your batteries when you eat it.\\
''(Snake grumbles)''
** Of course, when Snake gets an Ural luminescent mushroom and asks Para-medic if it tastes good due to looking like a shiitake mushroom, she assures him that will. Upon eating it though, it turns out to be poisonous. Calling Para-Medic after that, with the tone of how she responds, you have to wonder if she was sincere about her guidebook having an error, or [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation if it actually said that it was poison and Para-Medic wanted to get back at Snake for all the previous times]].

* Snake nerding out on the customizations of his new 1911 pistol.
** And ignoring all the FanService EVA provides... The lady gets understandably frustrated by his antics.
*** For what it's worth, the player can acknowledge EVA's... presence by pressing R1 during the cutscene.
* At one point in the prologue, Snake sees a guard at the bridge. He looks up, notices a beehive up in the tree... and his face splits into that hilariously wicked smile on the top of this page.
* The second time you meet Ocelot, he pulls some of the fancy gun twirling he'll be known for, then twirls it into his holster. Then pulls it out and puts it back in the right way.
** And during the final duel between Snake and Ocelot, Ocelot promptly jabs Snake in the eye. [[spoiler:That is, the eyepatch-covered eye he blew out by accident.]] Snake just grows a big, smarmy grin as Ocelot realizes his mistake.
* Every time you save a game with Para-Medic, she'll give a small conversation about [[TheMovieBuff a movie she'll recommend to Snake]]. Many of the conversations are hilarious:
** At one point, Para-Medic talks about a new movie that just came out in Japan called ''Film/Godzilla1954''. She thinks it'll be a big movie franchise, and a successful American version will be made later. [[ItWillNeverCatchOn Snake has his doubts about Godzilla.]] To be fair, he is right about [[{{Film/Godzilla1998}} an American adaptation]] [[TakeThat not being successful]]... [[{{Film/Godzilla2014}} though Para-Medic was right too, in the long run.]]
** One interaction has Para-Medic bring up ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'', which Snake ''has'' heard of, but doesn't like because "Real spies are nothing like Film/JamesBond." This prompts ''[[CoolOldGuy Zero]]'' to butt in and start geeking out over Bond.
--->'''Zero:''' Maybe if you changed your name to Double-O Snake?
** One conversation, she brings up ''Film/TheWarOfTheWorlds'', but fumbles the summary because she pretty obviously chickened out and didn't actually see it, much to Snake's amusement. Even when she tries to digress by sharing a story of her and her family's reaction to [[Radio/TheWarOfTheWorlds the older radio adaptation]], Snake insists on her admitting that she hasn't seen the movie.
** During the conversation about vampire bats, Snake stops Para-Medic from talking about vampire movies. The examples he gives of B-movie titles include ''Attack of the Vampire Doughnuts'' and ''Dracula Versus the Space Hippos.''
** Among the ''many'' references is this gem:
--->'''Para-Medic:''' Hey Snake, have you ever seen ''My Mother was a Teenage Spider Queen from Mars''?\\
'''Snake:''' I can't say that I have...\\
'''Para-Medic:''' ...Neither have I.\\
''(call ends)''
* Sigint [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nolq5EPpOcA talking about a nightmare]] he once had [[ToiletHumor where a giant turd shot turds at everything and turned everything into turds]]. The single most hilarious part about this is that it's actually fairly accurate {{Futureshadowing}} regarding Metal Gears as a whole. (Unfortunately, the conversation was cut from the HD and 3DS releases, since the Guy Savage demo/nightmare sequence that comes up when loading from a certain save point, which was also cut from those versions, is required to trigger the conversation.)
* When Naked Snake asked if he could more or less make the first part of his codename true:

'''[=SigInt=]:''' Say what?!\\
'''Naked Snake:''' ''My pants.'' Can I --\\
'''[=SigInt=]:''' Aw, hell no! This FOX Unit is a nut fest!\\
'''Naked Snake:''' ''(cackles)''

'''[=SigInt=]:''' Wha -- ???

--->'''[=SigInt=]:''' ... and [[BottomlessMagazines it never runs out of ammo?]]\\

'''[=SigInt=]:''' ''(portraying confidence)'' [[SureLetsGoWithThat Ah...! I get it. Yep, that'll give you unlimited ammo.]]

''(Naked Snake abruptly ends the call)''.

-->''(Raiden teleports in, Terminator-style, and gets knocked out of the way by Naked Snake)''\\

''(Raiden gets [[BlackComedyRape [=*ahem*=]ed]] by Volgin, resulting in the camera shaking off-screen as he's being... Roughed up. Yeah, let's go with that.)''\\

'''''Raiden:''' The legendary... Big Boss...\\

** The Secret Theater videos are all pretty funny! Sadly they were left out of the HD re-release though. Most notable examples including:

*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry4oiluyPFs Gotcha This Time]]: Snake slams the butterfly-shaped C3 bomb too hard, causing the timer to reset to 0 and detonate the other charges, destroying the hangar. His expression is priceless!

*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUvKM3fXUD0 The Ultimate Weapon]]: The Boss and Naked Snake plays a serious form of Rock, Paper, and Scissors...naturally the Boss is winning. Until Snake throws a hand gesture that [[AllYourPowersCombined incorporates all three hands of Rock, Paper, Scissors into one]]. Seeing it sends with The Boss into a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome breakdown at the technique]]. Though once she finishes processing it, [[SoreLoser she certainly doesn't ]][[NoFairCheating take Snake's cheating well...]] '''[[NukeEm At all.]]'''

*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2JTqx3-W4A Basashi]]: [[spoiler: Para-Medic takes the boss' place in the cutscene where Naked Snake reunites with his mentor, but the Boss is still '''very damn pissed''' that her scene is taken away from her when she watches from afar, with her [[HighPressureEmotion anger so hot it generates steam on the top of her head]], complete with hilarious train sfx and style, all the while Para-Medic]] scolds snake for thinking about being so hungry he can eat, well...

*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37V_g-tpigk He's Still Got It]]: [[OldSoldier The End]] somehow shirks off his urge to challenge Naked Snake after spontaneously waking up during the scene with him in a wheelchair when Tatyana walks by, with an added mini-glamour scene that shocks him awake and instead pursues... '''more tastier endeavours.''' Along with teaching Ocelot a lesson... '''[[spoiler: twice.]]'''
* Talking to the people in your codec list (call Eva last) with the crocodile hat on shows you that the word "normal" does not apply to anyone involved with the FOX unit.
* The part when you rescue Sokolov. He follows Snake outside, imitating his MOVES, and somehow ending up with a KamehameHadoken gesture, at which point the camera pans over to Snake, staring at the scientist with a complete "What the fuck are you ''doing''?" look on his face.
* '''''ALL''''' the {{Easter Egg}}s in the third game qualify. Take your pick: between the conversation between Para-Medic and [=SigInt=] about Snake and the glowing mushrooms, calling Eva after you call everyone else with the crocodile head thing on, wear the scientist suit in the jungle, etc.
** [=MGS3=] takes a lot of potshots at Raiden. One of the Codec conversations has Major Zero and Snake talk about the Raiden mask, it ends with them talking about the guy it's based on:
--->'''Naked Snake:''' What do I do if I meet that guy?\\
'''Major Zero:''' Beat the crap out of him.
** There's also this gem after you get Raikov's suit and call the Major.
--->'''Major Zero:''' Ah, your Raikov disguise has turned out nicely.\\
'''Naked Snake:''' Yeah. Not even his own mother could tell the difference.\\
'''Major Zero:''' Indeed. You're starting to irritate me already.
* The "Snake vs Monkey" minigame. Your only objective? Sneak up and capture the monkeys from ''VideoGame/ApeEscape''.
** When you complete a mission, Snake does a cute little victory dance. When you finish the last one, Snake does his dance... while looking at a pin-up poster on the wall.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0kDVVg7vWY&feature=player_embedded The opening video.]] Just... that.
* The trailer for the 3DS version features a cameo by... [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Yoshi.]] Yes, really. And as of now, Yoshi replaces the Kerotan frogs in the 3DS version.
* On NewGamePlus, if the player calls The Boss when Snake is wearing the Tuxedo or GA-KO camo, the following conversation occurs:
-->'''The Boss:''' Snake...\\
'''Naked Snake:''' What's up, boss?\\
'''The Boss:''' Don't you "What's up" me! Just what do you think you're doing?!\\
'''Naked Snake:''' What do you mean?\\
'''The Boss:''' "What do I mean?" What is that camouflage you're wearing?\\
'''Naked Snake:''' Oh, this. What do you think?\\
'''The Boss:''' Of all the...\\
'''Naked Snake:''' Looks pretty good on me, doesn't it?\\
'''The Boss:''' Are you out of your mind? You can't wear that in battle! It's like saying to the enemy, "Hey, here I am! Shoot me!"\\
'''Naked Snake:''' Well, I'll admit, it's a little on the flashy side...\\
'''The Boss:''' Then why don't you--?\\
'''Naked Snake:''' But it does look good on me, doesn't it?\\
'''The Boss:''' ...\\
'''Naked Snake:''' You don't think so?\\
'''The Boss:''' Listen, wise ass! Camouflage isn't going to do ''jack'' if it doesn't help you ''blend in with your surroundings''!\\
'''Naked Snake:''' Well, I think it looks good on me...\\
'''The Boss:''' ''(exasperated)'' Fine! Wear whatever you want!\\
'''Naked Snake:''' ''(in the most dejected tone of voice possible)'' I-I thought you'd like it...
* Snake's thinking noises. Hm? Hrum? Grh? Guu? Gmm. Urh?
* Granin tells Snake where Sokolov has been moved to despite them being on different sides because Snake complimented him on his shoes. Even EVA sounds confused over this.
* At the conclusion of The End's FinalSpeech, ''his dentures fly out of his mouth in a gratuitous 3-D manner''. Talk about MoodDissonance.
** How can we forget, in the lead-up to the fight, one of his eyes suddenly popping out, Looney Toons style, to look through his sniper?
** One way to defeat him is to [[spoiler:save your game and then let the system clock advance one week. When you resume, The End will be dead of old age]].
* After escaping the jail cell, keep the transmitter in and go to the waterfall for a really funny hidden cutscene.
* In the HD remake, the achievement/trophy you get for [[NonstandardGameOver killing Ocelot]] is called [[JustEatGilligan "Problem Solved, Series Over"]].
* Ocelot's meow, it's so disarming and anticlimactic. And he uses it to call in his soldiers, so it gets used repeatedly.
* A certain player commonly known as Gishiki no Hito(儀式の人, translated as 'The Ritual Guy') demonstrates some uncanny, ''perfect'' understanding of the game. Here's a Youtube footage by Zeixpe: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le23bsVURds&list=UUqfWsZ0TxMdINAPhjFu2YTA&index=1 Watch the insanity take place here]].
** Better yet, if you happen to own Nico Nico Douga account, why don't you go for the [[http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/1881149 original cuts]]?
* If you get a Dragunov early enough, you can snipe The End as soon as you see him in his first cutscene and skip his entire boss battle.....though you do get smacked by a wheel from his wheelchair after he explodes.
* If you throw a frog at Volgin during the fight, he'll actually stop fighting you and take a few seconds to focus all of his attention on the frog. The icing on the cake is this absolutely hilarious line:
-->'''Volgin:''' A ''tree frog''!? Kuwabara. Kuwabara.
* Volgin himself is so inept at being a proper villain that he ends up giving you all of his information while he's torturing you for yours. Not only does he reveal what his Philosopher's Legacy is, he goes over the following: its entire history involving a shadowy group that he's a part of, reveals the exact method to access it, and goes the extra mile and tells you where the key is held while being '''completely''' unaware of it. Not only does he spill his guts to Naked Snake, the confirmed American spec-ops soldier (who he might understandably think won't escape), he does so in front of Ocelot (who's an undercover spy), Eva (who's an undercover spy), and the Boss (who's an undercover spy).
** In a [[BlackComedy horrible]] way, Volgin's method for "interrogating" Granin. He stuck Granin in a metal barrel and just punched it until Granin died from the electrocution/punching. He treats this whole affair like he couldn't get Granin to confess when he didn't even try to question him.
* Snake's battle with The Fury is pretty tense, but sometimes when he kills Snake (or if you use the Fake Death Pill) he sounds rather surprised.
-->'''The Fury:''' Oh, he's dead? ...did he feel the fury?
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvwxq44vLw0 Watch what happens]] when Naked Snake fakes his death in front of [[spoiler:The Boss]].
* The existence of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgaYe4ZYYyY The Ladder]]'', one of the greatest boss fight in video gaming. It is infamous amongst those who played, and it even comes with its own rendition of the main theme song.
* During the river section with The Sorrow, he tries to guilt Snake with every man he killed during the game. The devs planned on player having Snake shoot every soldier in the balls before killing them, turning the entire part into one big joke with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaz3O3o4Ndw the spirits clutching their wounds and telling him that they wish he'd get his nuts popped]].
-->'''Soldier''': I'm worthless now!!
** DevelopersForesight reaches absurd levels with one ''very'' specific scenario in The Sorrow boss battle. Kill a soldier on the Krasnogorje mountains, wait for a vulture to peck on their corpse, then kill and eat said vulture. During the boss battle, the soldier's ghost will have a vulture on its shoulder, and will scream at you, "You ate me!"
* Talking to Para-Medic about the Siberian Ink Cap and how it can give you the hangover from hell if you consume one after drinking alcohol, Snake gets offended that she would suggest he'd be drinking on a mission. She claims to be knocking back a shot right then, only to reveal she was joking. Cue Snake saying, "[[INeedAFreakingDrink I need a drink...]]".
** As an added bonus, if you don't trigger this conversation until after meeting with Granin, Snake will throw in a line about warning Granin about the mushrooms. This just confuses Para-Medic.
* During the final battle with Volgin, it's possible for Snake to [[https://youtu.be/rLtXIbf5ZYI?t=397 accidentally get run over by EVA on her motorcycle.]]
* It can be hard to take some scenes seriously depending on your choice of face paint and uniform, such as going shirtless and using the nation's flag. Or wearing the Raiden mask, the lips of which do not move. Snake talking to EVA in the fight against Volgin and the Shagohod, while wearing the Raiden mask, is hilarious.
* Apparently while stranded in a remote Russian jungle, cut off from official support, Ocelot managed to order not one but ''three'' Colt SAA's. ''And'' a stock. [[spoiler:And a blank.]] And get them with enough time to learn how to juggle and twirl them. And then he uses this skill to impress Snake during their boss fight. And it works. And also he apparently learned how to swat bees by twirling said guns, or he just figured they'd be more efficient than swatting with his gloved hands.
* Appropriately enough, falling off the famous ladder will kill you, as it's quite a long fall. [[https://youtu.be/bwDCcto2yk4?t=1547 Falling off literally the first rung of the ladder however...]]

* During the final battle with Volgin, it's possible for Snake to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLtXIbf5ZYI accidentally get run over by EVA on her motorcycle.]]
