*** Then a third commercial mentions that they now offer a [[IncrediblyLamePun Com-patty-bility]] guarantee, in that each of their "flavor bulbs" are keyed to be edible by a specific species -- if you can't eat it, the flavor bulb ensures ''the patty simply flees from you.''

*** A possible conversation between Cherub and Verge reveals that Sectoids ''are'' just as allergic to human foods as the ad suggests, and Verge is willing to get around this by splitting costs with Cherub just to taste the food vicariously through a mind link. The way he describes, of all things, a ''Philly Cheesesteak'' makes it sound like he's done nothing but dream about it for years on end.

* During the tutorial mission, the party muses on where Verge is - Whisper informs them that he hailed a cab and is on his way. But what really pushes it into funny territory is when you get the puppeteer ability for him at his final rank, as one of the things he may say simply is ''"Let me drive"'', implying that he "Hailed the cab" by mind controlling its driver and driving himself to the crime scene.

** One poster, which eagle-eyed players may notice hanging in office cubicles, shows a ufo flying in a blue sky over green fields with the caption "[[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1847007-x-com You Should have Believed]]" (the title of [[ConspiracyTheorist Floyd Tesseract's]] radio show) which is obviously inspired by the original AgentMulder's famous "I Want to Believe" poster. [[KlingonsLoveShakespeare Apparently, even alien invaders-turned-conspiracy theorists are fans of]] Series/TheXFiles.
* Torque notes to Verge that she's surprised XCOM would recruit aliens like him. When Verge points out ''she's'' an alien, she denies it - [[BoomerangBigot she was hatched on Earth, making her an Earthling]]. The poison sacs, fangs and scales just means that some Earthling hatch luckier than others.
* A commercial is about "Burger Palace" is a chain of burgers opening across the city, following a rebranding and some trouble with the "Truth and Reconciliation Commission". The implication that they are ADVENT Burger, forced to rebrand after the war.
** The commercials for Burger Palace get more and more weird.

*** Then a third commercial mentions that they now offer a [[IncrediblyLamePun Com-patty-bility]] guarantee, in that each of their "flavor bulbs" are keyed to be edible by a specific species - if you can't eat it, the flavor bulb ensures ''the patty simply flees from you.''

* One of the random radio chatter dialogues that can come on between missions is an advertisement for a [[AlienLunch live grub based cereal]] called [[NoIndoorVoice BIG CRUNCH]] ([[BreadEggsMilkSquick The cereal that writhes!]]) that can be eaten by Humans and Hybrids. But not Sectoids because it's apparently toxic to them. Cue disappointed Sectoid in the commercial.

'''Verge:''' [[HaHaHaNo HA. No.]] [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome The steel does nothing]]. [[BrutalHonesty We are completely exposed to psionic incursion]].\\

*** The first reveals their burgers are made of Kelp protein, which means that if they truly were [[ToServeMan using excess human meat]] during ''X-COM 2'' like it was speculated, they've been forced to switch it up.

--> ''What kind of [ADVENT] contraband? Plasma grenades, or those [[FashionVictimVillain stupid]] [[FacelessMooks helmets]]?"

*** The [=NotDog=] commercial goes on [[RattlingOffLegal to read a series of warnings in a rapid fire manner]]: That no alien should eat more than one pack a week without consulting a licensed gene therapist, that [=NotDogs=] should never be exposed to sunlight, and that [=NotDogs=] should be discarded if they are "the color perceived by humans as blue".

* There is a billboard that has a picture displaying a ''Faceless'' coming to the rescue of a cat. Yes, [[DemonicSpiders Faceless]]. The concept of a fifteen foot red-eyed sludge monster taking a page out of Superman's book is hilarious.
