1!Ground Control
2* From Ground Control 1, towards the end of the Order campaign:
3--> '''Jared Stone''': [[spoiler:"If [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Hayes]] [[BigBadDuumvirate and]] [[SinisterMinister Aegiri]] succeed in activating the polar Xenofacts,]] they will unleash a plague of death and fire across this entire section of the galaxy!"
4--> '''Sarah Parker''': *wolf whistles* "You sure are a charmer. [[DeadpanSnarker A simple 'we'll be screwed' would have done it.]]"
5** In General, Parker shows herself to be a master of snark.
6!Ground Control 2
7* The very first cinematic in campaign mode sees an NSA soldier caught admiring a woman lingerie shop when [[spoiler: CSS Astrid's]] beacon [[BlackComedy landed on him]].
8* In Viron campaign of Ground Control 2, [[spoiler: Angelus spends time commanding Virons. Then Drahk'Mar jokes that he might have the honor of commanding human troops in the future.]]
9** It's even funnier considering that in the NSA mission "Push", you can actually give him your units to command.
10* The NSA dropship in ''Ground Control II'', statistically one of the more stronger unit in the game when fully upgraded, boast some funny lines.
11--> '''NSA Dropship''': (Returning to base) "Copy that. Later losers."
12* From the 11th mission where you need to rescue Dr. Alice [=McNeal=] from the Terran captivity, General Warhurst's rant when he busts [[PlayerCharacter Angelus]] is priceless.
13--> '''Warhurst''': "CAPTAIN!! What the HELL do you think you are doing?!"
14--> '''Angelus''': "[[SarcasmMode We're having a bloody picnic, general.]]"
15--> '''Warhurst''': "Dammit, Angelus! You better survive this, as [[IneffectualDeathThreat I will personally break one bone in your body for every piece of NSA equipment you lose out there!]] Warhurst! Out!!"
