* Samus describing her situation towards the end of ''Zero Mission'' with "All I had for protection was my rather useless emergency pistol" shows a wonderfully dry sense of humour from our hero.

* In the original ''Metroid'', someone had the idea of typing in the password "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp75tGICd_M ENGAGE RIDLEY MOTHER FUCKER]]" [[spoiler:Apparently, the game doesn't like foul language, because this password [[GoodBadBugs takes you to a glitched version of the first screen of Brinstar]] that [[WrapAround wraps around]] instead of scrolling, making it impossible to progress at all.]]'''Warning:''' Doing this sometimes causes the game to reset or crash instead, particularly on the 3DS Virtual Console version.

* B.O.X., the security robot from ''Fusion'' gets infected bu the X Parasite sometime after you fight him. By the time you meet him again, his name is technically B.O.X.-X... or X-B.O.X.

* The fact the Space Pirates are klepto enough to steal door technology is pretty hilarious. Of all the things they stole, they are that willing to steal tech for ''doorways''.

* In a manga that parodied the NES ''Metroid'', Samus noticed that the [[MookMaker pipes that dispensed Zebs]] looked very much like [[SuperMarioBros a certain plumber's method of public transportation.]] When she tried to climb into it, she received a very painful bite on the ass. It makes one wonder why this didn't happen to Mario.

** By extension, the entire ''SuperMetroid'' Manga. Seriously, if you haven't read it, go read it. You can find it on the Metroid Database.

* ''Super Metroid''[='=]s Crocomire, who suffers a FamilyUnfriendlyDeath by being forced onto a none-too sturdy bridge over a pool of acid, then falling into the acid, which melts his flesh off, leaving nothing but his skeleton. And then, the skeleton breaks through the spiked wall behind Samus to get his revenge against her...only to crumble to dust, leaving behind his skull.

* In the ''Super Metroid'' manga strip in which Samus gets the X-Ray Scope, she tries it out on a nearby wall and...sees two Etecoons making out, who are shocked by the accidental Peeping Tom.

* In the manga snippet ''"Gourmet" Expert'', a [[MeaningfulName Samus Eater]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin does what its name implies]] (complete with OM NOM NOM). However, [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth it spits the main character back on its own]], dissatisfied. Samus [[CompletelyMissingThePoint is quite pissed that it thinks she tastes bad]].

* Super Metroid's Crocomire, who suffers a Family Unfriendly Death by being forced onto a none-too sturdy bridge over a pool of acid, then falling into the acid, which melts his flesh off, leaving nothing but his skeleton. And then, the skeleton breaks through the spiked wall behind Samus to get his revenge against her...only to crumble to dust, leaving behind his skull. Of course, Your Mileage May Vary.
* In Super Metroid, crashing into the ceiling with the Shinespark move will embed Samus's head into it with an audible thud, complete with afterimages of Samus as CirclingBirdies and double vision.

* The Yard from Super Metroid is an enemy found in Maridia that looks like a giant snail. Shooting it causes it to retract into its shell, which can then be knocked around. It actually bounces when hit, so Samus could play a game of kickball with a startled Yard.

* Many of the Space Pirate Journal Entries in the Metroid Prime games. Especially any that makes the others refrain from leaving pets near Metroids, refusing to allow Metroids to be used ''as'' pets (or target practice), or their folly of trying to replicate Samus's Morph Ball technology...

* There are a few moments when the AI reprimands Samus in ''Fusion'' and her response is akin to a guilty silence.

* This Troper was amused by Meta Ridley's death in Metroid Prime, in which several Chozo Statues come to life and blast him with FrickinLaserBeams. Then he falls into the Impact Crater and...[[MadeOfExplodium explodes!]] The latter is possibly justified by Meta Ridley being a cyborg.

* The Pirate Logs in the Prime games. ''Especially'' in Prime 2, where the Pirates are practically Butt Monkies, and many of the logs are written by pirates dissatisfied with the way High Command runs things, with tons of snark. Oh, and [[MemeticMutation Science Team has vapor for brains]], too.
** The description of what happened to the test subjects of the Morph Ball project. It's darkly humorous, but the ending line clinches it. "Science Team wisely decided to move on after that."
* After finally defeating the Chykka, a boss that just keeps getting back up when it seems defeated, scanning the corpse will give you a long list of information about the body's condition that basically amounts, "Yeah, it's down for good now, don't worry."
* MetroidPrime: After the battle with Thardus, as Samus is turning to walk away, a small rock smacks her in the back of the head. (It conveniently makes her turn around and see a brand-new powerup!)
* There are a few moments when the AI reprimands Samus and her response is akin to a guilty silence.

* "Hey, relax. We're the good guys. 'Justice will prevail', and [[BuffySpeak all that stuff]], right Samus?"
* Anthony Higgs killstealing from Samus, and Samus's reaction. She punches his shoulder in annoyance.
* Lyle, who dislikes bugs, unloading his whole ammo clip into a single tiny insect, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill still firing even after it's reduced to sludge]].
* In OtherM, Ridley's cartilaginous face can only show a few expressions. Near the end, [[spoiler:with the Queen Metroid bearing down on him when he's already been wounded by Samus]], we find out one of these is OhCrap.
