History YMMV / CommandAndConquerRedAlert3

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:Shinji Shimada in Uprising.]]

** From the conscript. "Ever since I was little boy I wanted to torpedo dolphin with sub!"

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:Shinji Shimada in Uprising. Izumi in the same expansion later turns out to be one as well.]]
** Add Natasha to the list. One of her quotes is asking why she isn't given any little children to kill.

** While there is no way to be conclusive, we're pretty sure that, had it been around in 1945, the ''[[GratuitousRussian Krasnya Armiya]]'' would've marched into Berlin singing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRFDnfCPzpU

* UnfortunateImplications: Tanya's gone from being a brunette to a blondie for this game. Couple this with the fact that all units have occasional to frequent problems with pathfinding and even obeying the simple order of shooting something.

* FridgeBrilliance: The Empire of the Rising Sun's lack of a dedicated aircraft production structure unlike the other factions and reliance of TransformingMecha units (Mecha/Jet Tengu, Striker/Chopper-VX, Sea/Sky Wing) for air power instead may appear odd until you realise that the Empire is based on ImperialJapan, which did not possess an independent air force and which instead maintained two air forces under the command of the Army and the Navy respectively.
** Though the [[YanksWithTanks United States Air Force]] didn't achieve independent status from the Army until 1947, either, so ImperialJapan wasn't alone among the major belligerent powers in WorldWarII for not having an independent air force. That said, the US Army Air Forces had wrested a substantial amount of independence from the Army, while its Japanese equivalents were on a much shorter leash.

* WhatAnIdiot: Cherdenko attempts to escape to the only place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism! SPACE!

* CrazyAwesome: Armored War [[EverythingsWorseWithBears Bears]] being shot out of a floating AwesomePersonnelCarrier via a [[ItsRainingMen Man Cannon]] onto imperial ninjas? Their being unaware of the [[HeroicDolphin dolphins approaching to blow it up]] [[GaleForceSound with weaponized echolocation]] and amphibious tanks sent in as backup being stopped by a literal LandBattleship while a group of transforming mecha try to stop a giant blimp armed with high explosive bombs from entering the fray? [[ForMeItWasTuesday ''Tuesday night'']]

** [[spoiler:and the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Future Techs]], too. The Soviets' Uprising campaign is pretty much a BlackAndGreyMorality (at least because the Soviets have been portrayed [[CardCarryingVillain that way...)]]]]

* CassandraTruth President Ackerman arguably, He warned the Allies that the Soviets won't really stop the war and were just out to stab the allies in the back.

* ThatOneLevel: Mt. Rushmore, for being the most LuckBasedMission in the entire C&C franchise. The strategy is obvious. The president has gone crazy and if given enough time will drive his limo to a building which will cause you to fail the mission. If the President dies the weapon you need to stop from firing fires automatically and you also fail the mission. Not a problem it's not nearly as much of a TimedMission as it might look since the allies thing (who you're playing as) is HarmlessFreezing and you can just put the president's limo on ice with a cryo copter. The problem is that the enemy will routinely send anti-air jets after your copter. No problem you can just fight them off with your own jets. Except that if by random chance the debris created by a plane being shot down lands on the frozen limo it will explode and you fail the mission. Yeah, ther are a few things you can do to try and reduce the odds of this happening but nothing seems doable to prevent it. Also there's a painfully "maybe I will and maybe I won't" EventFlag which should summon up a half a dozen prism tanks into the base of both you and your partner under your control. If it happens you won't need to worry about defending your base from land threats till very late in the mission. If it doesn't your likely to be eaten alive by ground assaults. The over all strategy to win is obvious and putting it in motion is easy and simple, but it all comes down to if the RandomNumbersGod feels like letting you win or not...

** Three guess what happened?

** [[{{Stripperific}} There is not an unattractive female throughout this whole game]]. Even the poster illustrations of Yuriko play to the Japanese short-shirted schoolgirl fetish.
** Most of the Female characters have pin-up pictures.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation Futuretech can be considered this since removing the Soviet union is basically removing the main reason they sell so many goods to the allies, thus committing economic suicide to save millions of lives

* WhatAnIdiot: Cherdenko attempts to escape to the only place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism! SPACE!
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Yuriko fits this to a T.

* HamAndCheese: Just about all of the actors. You can tell, however, that this is ''exactly'' what the developers wanted: a bunch of well-known (though hardly A-List) actors competitively [[LargeHam hamming it up]] and ChewingTheScenery to add to the already absurd levels of {{Camp}}. The result, as intended, is a game that leaves you laughing your ass off even as you mow down thousands.
