History Funny / Splatoon

-->'''I'M BAAAAAAAAAACK'''
-->'''AND I BROUGHT THIS REALLY NICE COAT'''

* [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob vs. Patrick]] took [[ReferenceOverload every opportunity it could to make jokes]].

* In the Splatoon 2 story trailer, Marie formally introduces herself as one of the Squid Sisters. Cue AwlwardSilence as the player character doesn't know who they ''are''.

* 2 of the new weapon types are a Gattling Gun and a Bucket, the formed of which has it's default as the '''Heavy''' Splattling. Naturally, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eR_DGGvg8Y TF2]] [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/996/568/15c.jpg jokes]] [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/975/615/7b3.jpg were]] [[https://squidboards.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FAQk2DSa.png&hash=b41675417e4b07b5b214993742eb1f5b bound]] [[http://67.media.tumblr.com/9907c0bec786b48f3cb59c9117980f74/tumblr_nsurtnEfKU1qlld5to1_1280.gif to]] [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/001/004/626/00a happen]] [[http://i.imgur.com/N7gSLYD.jpg eventually]].

'''Marie:''' [[BreakingTheFourthWall That's called draw distan]] [=--Er...--=] It's smog. *cough*

'''Marie:''' [[BreakingTheFourthWall That's called draw distan]] --Er... It's smog. *cough*

* In the game itself, we have this moment when describing Moray Towers:
-->'''Callie:''' It's so foggy I can't even see the ground!\\
'''Marie:''' [[BreakingTheFourthWall That's called draw distan--Er... It's smog. *cough*]]

* [[http://splatoonus.tumblr.com/post/115216490439/so-this-whole-time-i-thought-splatoon-was-going Now you can have your squid and eat it, too!]][[note]]Unless you ''are'' a squid, then just make a freakin' quesadilla![[/note]]

* In the North American release, trying to buy Spyke's wares without enough money produces the line, "You wot, mate?" It gets funnier each time you cause a break in his usual laid-back demeanor.

* The game makes use of Miiverse to post randomized Miiverse messages as graffiti onto the main plaza in Inkopolis and onto the games single and multiplayer levels. This can sometimes result in amusing pieces of graffiti, with some of the most popular including ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' references and occasionally internet memes like Pepe the Frog. ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'''s graffiti "M" is also a popular Miiverse post too. The occasional [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} "GARY WAS HERE! ASH IS A LOSER!"]] on the walls is sure to get a chuckle.

--->'''[[spoiler:Marie]]''': [[spoiler:This just in! Agent 3 is standing around [[TakeYourTime doing absolutely nothing!]]]]

-->'''[[spoiler:DJ Octavio]]''': [[spoiler:You can't handle my spicy wasabi beats!]]\\

-->'''[[spoiler:DJ Octavio]]''': [[spoiler:GYAHAHA! No snow globe can contain this DJ!]]\\

-->'''[[spoiler:Callie]]''': [[spoiler:Hey, Gramps? I don't think we can make it to [[FictionalHoliday Squidmas]] this year.]]\\

* Despite the obvious parallels to SuperMarioSunshine, according to [[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wiiu/splatoon/0/1 an Iwata Asks]], the developers ''actually forgot'' that the game existed. To quote:

--->'''Callie''': I... uh... um... stay fresh?\\

--->'''Gifs of a caveman activating a robot and running away as it shoots lasers at him'''
--->'''Feazo''': past vs future splatfest looks pretty promising
--->'''Squid Research Lab:''' We agree.

* When the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Red vs. Pokémon Blue'' Splatfest was announced, Callie expresses shock that the Vulpix she was trying so hard to find only existed in ''Blue'', which she believes is the "inferior version." At first, Marie seriously considers not trading her own Vulpix to her. When the Splatfest results were announced (at least in the NA version), Marie did trade her Vulpix after all...except she got the last laugh by naming it "BLUEISBEST", prompting further frustration from Callie as she tries to figure out how to rename it. [[labelnote:The kicker?]][[CriticalResearchFailure Traded Pokémon]] [[DontExplainTheJoke can't be renamed.]][[/labelnote]]

* Sometimes, a pair of Inklings will be doing a perfectly synchronized breakdance in front of the café. Most of the time, there will be a jellyfish boy right next to them having the time of his life [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XQ2xvL521I flailing about wildly, thinking he's dancing with them.]] The Inklings seem to be humoring him by ignoring him and letting him have his fun.

* After Callie wins the Naughty vs. Nice Splatfest, Marie actually congratulates her on the victory. The ''lack of'' a diss or insult catches Callie off-guard!
