** Also, sometimes when activating said RocketPunch, Snake will yell [[LargeHam "ROCKET...PUUUUNCH!"]]

* After being thrown to the ground by Quiet, Ishmael starts throwing everything he can get his hands on at her (including a [[ToiletHumor bedpan]]), then he throws a bottle of some kind of flammable liquid at her. She completely ignores Ishmael's attacks and moves to kill Venom Snake, but the kicker? Ishmael is the real Big Boss in disguise, and Quiet's target. She accidentally totally ignored her intended target, all to kill a random medic who ''looked'' like Big Boss.
* After Ishmael sets Quiet on fire and throws her out a window and Snake asks what happened:
-->'''Ishmael''': [[BondOneLiner We gave her a light, she took the short way down.]]
** WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay highlight in their playthrough what this must have looked like to the Cipher soldiers waiting outside: they just sent in one of their best assassins to kill an emaciated man who'd been in a coma for almost a decade, and next thing they know she's falling out the window and on fire. As far as they're aware, Big Boss just committed a moment of awesome when he really didn't.
*** "That's the Boss, alright!" - Woolie, imitating a Cipher soldier after Quiet hits the ground.
** And then it gets even better. Big Boss ''did'' do something awesome...as Ishmael.
** In the game itself, there's another variation of the showerless Snake scene if Quiet is around. She storms up to Snake like a stern boss (as in Snake's mother figure) and snatches the bucket from Ocelot's hands, then proceeds to drag Snake to the showers herself...while everyone else watches.

*** Made more hilarious by that she's blatantly flirting with Snake (as Ocelot grumpily watches, too). There's also these lines from your guards in the background, which suggests that they're not staring at her, but rather, ''[[EvenTheGuysWantHim you]].'' Oh yeah, and the implication that Snake is sitting there [[NakedPeopleAreFunny almost completely naked in front of everyone.]]

'''Enemy Soldier:''' [[{{Angrish}} Rrgh!]] It is not a joke.../''*sounding dejected liked a kicked puppy*'' But it's the truth...\\
''(Snake moves around a bit in the box)''\\

'''CP:''' ''(audibly annoyed)'' This is CP. ''Knock it off!'' Out.\\

'''CP:''' ''(resigned)'' ... Copy that. Permission granted to fire that the box.\\

''(Snake covertly exits the box and hides nearby; the soldier fires a few rounds at the now empty box)''\\
'''Enemy Soldier:''' ''(audibly embarrassed)'' CP. Fired at the box, but... It was just a box. Maybe I ''was'' seeing things?/CP. Fired at the box. No response... Returning to duty.\\
'''CP:''' ''(audibly exasperated)'' CP copies. Schedule a psych. Out.

* What's the first thing Snake sees when he wakes up? A hot nurse's cleavage. Which is entirely in-character, if you recall those ''Snake Eater'' cutscene easter eggs.
* The ''Metal Gear'' series' love of butt zoom never stops even when said character is wearing a patient's gown with his butt exposed and [[BlackComedy other people in the hospital are getting brutally executed everywhere...]]

* The first time you land down on Mother Base for a tutorial, Ocelot's right there. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7JxNwWoM3E And you can still use your tranquilizer pistol.]] [[HilarityEnsues Do the math.]]

'''Ocelot:''' [[ArcWords La Li Lu Le Lo...]] ''[[ArcWords La Li Lu Le Lo...]]''\\

'''Ocelot:''' ''(speaks in his Japanese VA's voice for a moment)'' ''AHEM''... hmm.
** Even funnier? The Japanese stuff that Ocelot will mumble? It's "[[RunningGag Kawanishi-Noseguchi...Kinunobebashi...]]" As in Myoken Line train stations. Oh and you get another opportunity to torment him this way near Quiet's cell. And he'll add "Takiyama" and "Uguisunomori" to his list. [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Just]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2 like]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker old]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 times]].
* D-Dog [[PreciousPuppies as a puppy]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwOcZEpfyrk tries and fails to climb into the helicopter.]]

--->'''Diamond Dogs Soldier A:''' That dog 's all grown up now.\\

'''Diamond Dogs Soldier B:''' ''(sigh)'' Why do I even bother?

** Attack them and they'll say "Thanks for that boss".

--->'''WOO-HOOOOOOOO!'''

* Quiet's Boss battle has a semi-secret funny component to it. When she ambushes you, the game implies you have to choose between having a SniperDuel with her (which will kill her) or chasing her down to wittle away her stamina with the Wu Silent Pistol, [[DifficultButAwesome one shot at a time]]. What not many players realize, is that you can end the battle in less than 2 minutes, by tagging her with the binoculars, and then requesting a supply drop right where she's standing. When the big heavy crate of military-grade ammo falls on her head she automatically loses 50% of her stamina. Do this twice and you'll end the fight in just a couple of minutes, without needing to fire a single shot. There's just something hilarious about being able to take out the most badass, superpowered, and awesome sniper in a franchise already filled with awesome snipers -- by dropping a heavy object on her head, ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' style.

-->'''Huey''': Naturally, it will raise the probability of success for standard missions, but it functions as an improved deterrent by increasing your preemptive strike capability against enemy elements. You just deploy it in a war zone and its superior firepower puts the brakes on enemy attacks! Eventually, the whole war machine grinds to a halt! A true...''Battle Gear!''\\
'''({{Beat}}, then...)'''\\
'''Snake''': [[AsideComment Kaz, I'm having déjà-vu here.]]

** To explain: Code Talker requests for hamburgers after an intel session, and Kaz obliges. While making burgers, Kaz lets slip that he's been using the R&D Unit and GMP to develop better ones [[TemptingFate (and hopes Snake won't find out)]] which he plans to use for a side venture outside of Diamond Dogs. Code Talker soon realizes that he's being used as a focus group and suggests that Kaz use chemicals and preservatives, since people are used to all-natural food and want something more. When Kaz comes back with a burger loaded with them, Code Talker declares it to be the best burger he's ever eaten. Kaz then declares that these mass-produced burgers can solve world hunger and bring about "Pax Hamburgana," with a stunned Code Talker declaring them an "Ethnic Liberator." ItMakesSenseInContext, kind of.
** Kaz is a bit confused that Code Talker, a Native American, wants to eat a food so strongly associated with America. Code Talker goes into a [[MundaneMadeAwesome lengthy speel]] about how the hamburger is a spiritual blessing of nature, combining meat, grain and vegetable into perfect harmony. Kaz calls bullshit and says he's just making excuses when he really just likes burgers. Code Walker admits [[NotSoAboveItAll that is also true.]]
** Not to mention the implication of the last comment Miller makes about rebranding his restaurant. His western name? [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds McDonnel.]]
** The mere fact that Code Talker suggesting chemical additives [[MundaneMadeAwesome gets a dramatic sting.]]

** "What on Earth is that color?" as well as "'Frankenburger?' Just what kind of a dive did your old man take you to?"

* True to Kojima tradition, one of the cassette tapes you can unlock is just audio of a guard having an EXTREMELY loud bowel movement.
** Even better? If a guard is suspicious to your position and comes to check you out, [[ToiletHumor you can hide in a porta-potty and play the tape with an upgraded iDroid to drive them off.]] Just be sure to set the iDroid's cassette tape's audio output to include outer output of the cassette tape audio, otherwise it won't work.

* When you first meet Eli, he's leaning back on his "throne," looking like a smug little bastard. After you capture him, he's led to Pequod...where he proceeds to sit in the exact same don't-give-a-shit pose on the Helicopter. Nice to see that, without a word, little Liquid Snake is still a SmugSnake.

* [[http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Paz_(Idol_model) One of the possible enemy distraction upgrades for the cardboard box]] is an image of Paz as an ''anime idol.'' Another one, similar to the lying-down pinup girl, has Paz [[CutenessProximity surrounded by stuffed toys]] [[ReadyForLovemaking in a suspicious pose]].
** Just as funny is ''where'' you get said poster. In MOTHER BASE, near the Command Platform's Shower Unit. One has to wonder who put it there... [[note]]These posters begin popping up the moment you accomplish any Side-Op which involves extracting old Mother Base staff (the first one would be Komodo Dragon)--who, it must be remembered, will be found half-mad wandering the wilderness. The idea that after spending decades in the wild, they could still remember Paz and draw such cute stuff is a weird mix of hilarious, TearJerker and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments sweet]] even.[[/note]]
* The hospital escape is nightmarish except for one aspect, if you do a perspective flip from XOF's point of view. They send their top assassin into the hospital to kill an unarmed sick man who's been in a coma for nine years. Sounds like shooting fish in a barrel, right? Five minutes later & she falls out of a fourth-story window - screaming and ''on fire.'' No wonder they sent in an army afterwards! "Holy crap, this guy really IS Big Boss."
** But then that becomes even funnier when you stop to consider the FridgeLogic: if Quiet was your ultra-awesome, most deadliest assassin, then [[FridgeLogic why would you have an army waiting on stand-by]]? One can imagine XOF Command's orders: "Okay, gentlemen, our agent will enter the hospital and eliminate the target quick and quiet, as is expected. But on the ''off chance'' that the agent fails... you guys just go in there and get him."[[note]] "Besides, what are the odds that the target has disguised another as himself, and is thus able to fight off our agent essentially two-on-one? You'd have to be [[Creator/HideoKojima utterly INSANE]] to think of a contingency like that!"]] [[/note]]

** Considering Kaz's MSF-Brand Curry in the 70's, and his embryonic Burger chain]]...

-->'''Huey:''' Revenge! ''(raises arms triumphantly)''
** That whole bit is a crowning example of either CringeComedy or BlackComedy: Kaz and Venom Snake just went through the ''incredibly'' nasty method of exacting revenge on Skull Face by blowing off the corresponding limbs that they lost nine years ago. But when they're done…and they see just what a miserable wretch they've left Skull Face as, they realize that the whole thing is utterly fucking pointless, and walk away and tell Skull Face to kill himself if he's in so much pain. They've lost so much over the years, and are just too jaded and pissed off to care anymore. Contrast this with Huey, whose "sufferings" at the hands of Skull Face et al (interrogation, insults, and being pushed down a flight of stairs) are '''''laughable.'''''

** Even funnier is that one of the women just admits she's really not interested in either of them (and a relationship would be bad for her right now anyway), and she asks why there isn't a "Team Big Boss." Apparently it's because...''he's the boss'' and somehow that'd be weird.

** Even better - you can do this to other players in Metal Gear Online with ''any'' non-lethal throwing weapon - like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCZwxjZxzs4 an Enemy Locator]], for instance.

--->'''Soldier''': ''Get your ass up!''
--->'''Soldier''': ''Hey, the [[RefugeInAudacity circus is in town.]]''
--->'''Soldier''': ''Rise and shine, [[FauxYay sweetheart!]]''
--->'''Soldier''': ''Hey. [[DeadpanSnarker Yoga class is that way.]]''

* The physics capabilities of the Fox Engine make moments like [[http://heyspacecadet.tumblr.com/post/106311338291/goty this]] possible.

* The reactions of the enemy soldiers can sometimes evoke a laugh, especially if you [[DefeatEqualsFriendship fulton extract them]] [[AirborneMook while they are still conscious]]. Despite how quickly it can shift into NightmareFuel if they catch you and start trying to turn you into swiss cheese, it can still be pretty funny to knock out an enemy soldier and then surprise their friends as they wonder why the hell their ally is currently napping, or just their reactions to your shenanigans in general. You can actually try playing through by [[UpToEleven extracting virtually every enemy unit you can encounter]] (which is easily done especially in Side Ops). [[MemeticMutation Not for nothing is the fandom claim that]] [[ShroudedInMyth part of Big Boss/Venom Snake's legend involved]] extracting ''the whole of the Soviet army stationed in Afghanistan.''

[[folder:Out-of-Canon/Meta]]
* The continously-growing GameMod community around this game guarantees some out-of-canon hilarity if you find them.
** [[http://youtu.be/CkAJa9w-bkM All this]] is what happens if you mess around with character models.
*** Including switching the models for birds with Sahelanthropus.
** One [=YouTuber=] swapped Quiet's model with Ocelot during the "rain dance" scene. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87YXRvfMDlM The results are just as hilarious as you'd expect.]]
*** Said person did the same with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obj9ymFjtLE Skull Face]].
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyOaRbfogXo Anything that got swapped in place of puppy D.D...]]
*** Or this hilarious '''SPOILERS'''-laden [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLYxRkgfyxI reenactment]] of hospital scene.
* During part of her Let's Play of the game, Stefanie Joosten (Quiet's InkSuitActor) is told to "be quiet" by one impatient member of her chat. Her response was "But... ''I am''" in such a tone of voice that you can practically ''hear'' her smirking.
** Also funny, Stef being somewhat creeped out as a character made in her own image tries to murder the player character.
** She ends up defeating Quiet by [[CherryTapping freaking]] ''[[https://youtu.be/pwD_73oR4ME?list=PLF4A4657D954D588B&t=3192 kicking her]]''!

* The Steam description for the DLC of Eva's jumpsuit from Snake Eater includes "the chest area can be unzipped for a tactical advantage".
* A hilarious meta-example:
-->"[[Series/TheATeam Nine years ago, their private army was decimated by a secret organization. These men promptly escaped to a new base off the coast of Africa. Today, still hunted by XOF, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axfOJtmjRtY The D-Dogs.]]"
** The description makes it better by citing a fake Wikipedia article stating, among other things, that [[RealitySubtext season 3, which would have wrapped up some lingering plot threads, was canceled due to]] ExecutiveMeddling [[RealitySubtext but a rough cut emerged on YouTube years later]], and that [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain a game based on the series]] was released in 2015 by Creator/{{Konami}}.
* What's funnier than a montage of Big Boss abusing the Fulton recovery system? A Montage of Big Boss abusing the Fulton recovery system set to Music/TheCancanSong, [[https://youtu.be/1jHEV8ETTaA of course!]]

* If you start the "[=C2W=]" mission but destroyed the comms equipment already in a previous mission, Ocelot will interrupt Miller's briefing by telling him the equipment you're supposed to destroy has already been taken out. An extremely confused Miller will then congratulate you with a perplexed "Good job Boss...." and the mission instantly ends. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQI8DEeAt78 See it here.]]

* The boxes in ''The Phantom Pain'' are heavily upgraded, allowing Snake to use a cardboard cutout of a soldier to hide from enemies. The funny part? Snake can also use cutouts of ''bikini models'', which may result in guards wandering up to the cutout and ''[[WhatAnIdiot flirting with it]]''.

* Speaking of punches, if you dash and [=CQC=] Snake will simply throw a haymaker with his prosthetic hand which if lands will knock cold even Heavy Infantries in one hit. Said punch hits so hard that sometimes the enemy will almost do a ''full backwards flip'' before hitting the ground.
