* Throughout the ''Media Blitz'' the broadcasters around the city keep blaring pre-recorded messages from Mengsk, showering Odin with praises (since this event was supposed to be a showcase for it) which serve as a darkly-comical and ultra-cynical counterpoint to the sight of the rogue Odin trashing the city.

* When playing on Brutal difficulty, be prepared to see funny sights like pirate mercenaries fighting for The Dominion in some missions. This includes the Duskwings who ''defected'' from The Dominion, meaning they betrayed The Dominion and got rehired by them as mercenary units. Those Duskwings must be really worth the money if they were welcomed back just like that; money ''really'' talks it seems.

** Yes, the Protoss heroes in "In Utter Darkness" might be fighting to the death against impossible odds, but they still manage to get in a few quips before then. Mohandar -- in a way -- breaks the in-universe fourth wall as if they know they exist in a vision of the future.

* On a meta level, one particularily difficult SelfImposedChallenge is to finish the campaign using only marines. This gets particularily difficult on the mission "Maw of the Void", in which fields dealing DamageOverTime covers the map. The only way to do it is to use orbital drop pods to land as many marines as possible right under the protoss mother ship, which will then create a black hole and temporarily erase the marines from existence, giving the player time to send in another round of marines, with the two groups dealing enough damage to destroy the objective. As [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWRfm8ocl3g one streamer put it]], those poor marines are getting shot out of a spaceship in rickety drop pods, sucked into a black hole before getting spit out again and dissolved om a molecular level while madly firing. "All in the name of archeology".

** After "Cutthroat", where you get Vulture bikes. Swann isn't impressed with them, much to Raynor's annoyance:
-->'''Swann''': Those goofy mercs are still using Vultures, can ya believe it? Damn things are death traps even when you ain't got people shooting at ya.\\
'''Raynor''': Careful now, Swann. My old Vulture saved my skin more times than I care to remember. I ain't gonna listen to you trash talk a classic piece of engineering like that.\\
'''Swann''': Classic?! I suppose you could call 'em that. 'Course most folks like a bike that don't explode on them when the repeller seals freeze up, or the fuel cells start leaking radioactive waste - but hey, who cares if it's a ''classic'', right?\\
'''Raynor''': No one likes a smartass, Swann.

* 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.

* 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. Then later when Nova gets ahold of it...
