History Funny / StarCraft

!StarcraftII
* If you complete the "Ghost of a Chance" scenario of Starcraft II, Tosh will become enraged at Raynor during the post-mission communication and will stab a Voodoo doll. It has no effect on Raynor, to Tosh's perplexity, but Tychus finds himself being hit with piercing pain and tossed around the room.
** [[ComedicSociopathy "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!]]
* "Bar Brawl", after [[spoiler:Jim's beating up of Tychus]]:
--> '''Jim''': And fix my damn jukebox.
--> '''Tychus''': L'il help here? ...anybody?
* Tychus's reaction to the Odin.
--> ''"Brutah, it is the single greatest creation in the history of mankind."''
* Terran's [[NukeEm Nuclear Missile]] has [[HeyCatch "Take it!"]] painted on its side.
* Mission "Engine of Destruction". Tychus shows his love of the Odin in hilarious ways:
--> "Now how'd I miss this button with a skull on it?"
--> "Just wake me up when you're ready. I reckon a small nuke oughta do it."
** Matt's reaction to Tychus's talks after the first base:
-->'''Matt''': Does he always talk this much, sir?
-->'''Raynor:''' Yup. Once you get him into a fight, he never shuts up.
* After the opening cutscene in which Raynor shoots the TV in the bar out of anger at Mengsk, every time you go to the Cantina (even after moving to the Hyperion), there is a paper taped to the TV that says "Don't shoot the screen."
** "P.S. I'll add the cost of the TV to your tab."
* Introduction to the penultimate mission:
-->'''Tychus:''' You know, I've been thinkin'.
-->'''Raynor:''' Scares me more than the Zerg.
* Several moments from the news broadcasts and commercials:
** Kate Lockwell breaking loose and letting out several excited cheers when [[spoiler:she's promoted to lead anchor when her predecessor, Donny Vermillion, has himself committed]].
*** Not to mention the story of [[spoiler:Donny's commission. At the time, he was wearing nothing but socks, holding a copy of Mengsk's prision manifesto and a pound of peanut butter.]]
** [[ThisTropeIsBleep Also, Kate interviewing a Dominion ghost.]]
*** We expect to BLEEP them... very soon.
** "Nuke Noodles: Call down the flavor!"
** "Take your shot at life: iPistol!"
** "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT WOMAN?! TELL HER NOT TO INTERRUPT MY INTERVIEWS!"
** All of Donny's hilariously inept attempts at censoring various news stories to favor Emperor Mengsk.
-->''(cutting Kate off)'' I'm sorry, Kate, I've just received news that - er. Um. *{{Beat}}* Cut - cut to commercial.
* "HAVE A NICE DAY <3"
* "Ain't no time to be lying down on the job, general."
* There's of course the Blizzard famous StopPokingMe quotes. The ghosts, for example, have taken their barely contained psychopathy UpToEleven in this installment...
-->'''Ghost''': Whenever I see a world untouched by war, a world of innocence, a world of lush forests and clear rivers... I really just wanna ''[[AxCrazy nuke the crap out of it]]''.
-->'''Reaper''': Thought I was signin' up to be a RepoMan, imagine my surprise...
-->'''Marine''': "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum! And I'm all out of - oh, forget it..."
-->'''Firebat''': "Ack. Turns out I ''hate'' [[Film/ApocalypseNow the smell of napalm in the morning]]."
-->'''Medic''': "Dammit, [[ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder I'm a medic, not a doctor]]! *{{beat}}* Oh."
** Even more hilarious, the Thor doesn't even wait past the fourth poke.
-->'''Thor''': "I am here! [[BreakingTheFourthWall Click me]]!"
* I can't be the only one who laughed his ass off at the "Heal Bus" comment of the Medivac's description at the Hyperion Hangar...can I?
* Swann can be relied on to bring the snark whenever.
** Post "Ghost of a Chance", regarding Nova:
-->'''Swann''': Your girl came through alright.[...]
-->'''Raynor''': She ain't "my girl", Swann.
-->'''Swann''': Hmm. Scary female assassin type that's going to wind up trying to kill you some day? She sure ''seems'' like your type.
** In the opening of "Supernova", where Raynor's force must outrun a wall of fire:
-->'''Swann''': Hope you brought your sunscreen, Cowboy.
-->'''Raynor''': Now ''ain't'' the time, Swann!
* Tychus and Raynor are discussing the completed artifact:
-->'''Tychus''': I just wish the damn thing came with an instruction manual. For all we know, we could be upsettin' the entire space-time continuum.
-->'''Raynor''': Easy, Tychus. [[ThisIsReality This ain't science fiction]].
* This exchange:
-->'''Raynor''': Say... didn't you end up gettin' married the last time we were there?
-->'''Matt''': I told you before: if I had known what the prize was, [[AccidentalMarriage I never would've joined that card game]]!
* The TooDumbToLive mentality of the AI really kicks in in Media Blitz, where [[spoiler:the Odin]] is implied to be the most powerful weapon of war the Dominion, or perhaps humanity period, has ever created. Doesn't stop any enemy unit at all from running in and attacking you without any concern for their safety. Considering the unit is so big it can knock over streetlights and crush cars just by walking around, it can be pretty amusing to see a lone marine charge in guns blazing at you.
* Watch the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG_3R9BoVvg Heart of the Swarm trailer]] and at about 1:20 see Kerrigan load her rifle and point it at her enemy with a ridiculously cute face, with her own voice saying in the background "The killing will never stop until Mengsk is dead!"
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx1JDEnrVK8 trailer]] for the official crossover mod Blizzard DOTA has some hilarious self-aware narration.
-->These heroes are forced to fight to the death in an endless battle with no purpose other than ladder points.
* Raynor got a few quotes in the Hyperion:
--> "Ahh, I like all the pretty lights."
--> "I should go for a walk outside... Oh wait."
--> "That's it. Goin' to have to start pretendin' like I'm wrokin'."
--> "Standin' around talking to my damn self..."
--> "What the Hell was I doing?"

* [=FireBatHero=] is always good for this sort of thing, whether it's his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXkoG9GnpcM insane victory celebrations]] or Much turning the tables and humiliating him with a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylg8CXCF26U#t=0m20s heart made]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylg8CXCF26U#t=4m50s of pylons]].
* In a friendly match between rivals [=SlayerS_BoxeR=] and Yellow, Boxer sneaks one of his SCV's up to Yellow's base. A common tactic of Boxer's at the time was building bunkers right outside his opponent's base, trapping them. But instead of a bunker he builds... an Engineering Bay. Then he just leaves it there. When Yellow finds it a few minutes later, you can see a smirk cross his face.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj5wNWX6Iow This game]] in which the zerg player mind controls a protoss probe and uses it to create a Nexus belonging to him. Out of that he creates a probe of his own and spells out "lol" with pylons on the map. He proceeds to create protoss units, as a zerg, against his protoss enemy.]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X3nS8GmGQI BratOK and Stephano]] who play against each other in a professional tournament. Neither of the players want to win, because that would mean going up against a crazy good player called Sen. As a result both players do impossibly funny implausible builds in attempts to lose.
--> '''[[TheCynicalBrit TotalHalibut]]:''' "Whatever the case, we've got [=BratOK=] going for the Starport here, which could of course be [[DeadpanSnarker very very indicative]] of the fact that Stephano has [[InsaneTrollLogic built his Hatchery in his opponent's natural]]."\\
'''Apollo:''' "Ehh, this is a [[BlatantLies pretty... standard build]], you know, Stephano..."\\
''in-auditorium crowd begins laughing''
** Then the way the game ends:
-->'''[=BratOK=]''': "gg gl"[[note]]"Good game and good luck"[[/note]]\\
'''Stephano''': "[[BigNo NO!]]"\\
* [=BratOK=]* has left the game.
* In DayNine Daily #[[http://blip.tv/day9tv/day-9-daily-237-funday-monday-nydus-crazy-4639489 237]], a player named Armad gets his base constantly Nydus'd. In a moment of panic, he lifts up his entire base and tries to relocate to a safe expansion, only to find that the Zerg is everywhere he goes. In the end, he sets up a circle of Barracks in the center of the maps, only to get completely overrun by the Zerg and losing the game.
* [=CellaWerra's=] 13 gate build, commentated by HuskyStarcraft [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJFG8jtU0CM "Why I am need 13 gateway?"]]
** To explain, what his ally meant by a "13 Gate" is to obtain 13 probes before building ONE gateway, but [=CellaWerra=], who never played Protoss, mistaken it as actually building 13 Gateways. To top off the humor, [=CellaWerra=] actually WON. Though, it's just as likely that he purposely misinterpreted his partners advice just for the [[DontExplaintheJoke fun of it.]]
* [=CellaWerra's=] rendition of {{Rihanna}}'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEP05i6plr8 Umbrella]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlc0S8LLtsg&feature=related Poor Idra.]] [[note]]Idra was considered one of North America's best macro-style Zerg players, and is one of the few "foreigners" to be able to compete in Korea without getting roflstomped. However, he's much better known for his {{Rage Quit}}s.[[/note]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZyzv5bkNJM Not all SC2 folks take themselves seriously, though.]] [[CurbStompBattle Husky vs. Spanishiwa]]. The first in what is likely to be an epic series of games wherein HuskyStarcraft gets his ass kicked by pro gamers.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUxF4XWtj4g In this battle]], KHB (Protoss) is fighting Artosis (Terran). At one point, it looks like Artosis' Marine/Marauder mix is about to severely decimate KHB's base when KHB rushes out a ''Mothership'' [[CurbStompBattle and proceeds to completely turn the tables on his opponent]]. Artosis was utterly flabbergasted.
-->'''Artosis:''' [[FlatWhat what]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gPxZd5O-Cg&feature=feedu HOLY F%&$ING TALKING FISH BATMAN!!]] by the folks at LifesAGlitchTV. [[hottip:*:The opening of this cast begins with Novawar giving a long rambling story that was making fun of Maximus Black's previous long rambling story (he made it during a boring match), wherein Novawar tells about a talking fish which told him a tale of a bird it met, who, desperate for food for its chicks, grabbed the diahretic poop of a man and fed it to them (paralleling Maximus Black's story where that happened). After that they get back to casting the match where there is a lot of fail, with red is looking like it was getting its ass kicked with no combat units, and blue only had two pylons left. Maximus Black, seeing blue coming in with his entire army, declared that if red won he would quit [=LagTV=]. As the assault came, red managed to sneak out most of his probes and attack the two pylons, and after being dumbfounded for a second, declares the above at the end.]]
* [[http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/idb07/whitera_quotes/ WhiteRa quotes]]. [=WhiteRa=] is an ''old'' school player originating from the ''StarCraft Brood War'' days and is currently playing ''StarcraftII'' at the age of 30 while married. He's also from the Ukraine, speaks ''some'' English, and is one of the most loved, well-mannered players.
** "make expand and then defense it". Which has reached MemeticMutation levels, where [=WhiteRa=] defenses everything.
** "speshal taktics". Which is code-named for everything from unorthodox Protoss strategies, typically involving Warp Prisms, to [=WhiteRa=]'s method of delivering a ChuckNorris roundhouse kick.
* Another one from the guys from LifesAGlitchTV... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-3ZrXOrz_0 what happens if you don't scout your opponent's base properly]].

[=Day9=] looks appalled at this and is categorically denying that he did anything to his daughter and is utterly incensed at the accusation.
