6* Seeing Ferra [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA3TOER0GQA#t=465 scramble all over the place in the background]] if she falls off of Torr can be quite hilarious.
7* Cassie Cage's fatality has her put her wad of chewed up gum on a hole she shot into her opponent's head, which swells up, and pops. BlackComedy at its finest.
8** If that one didn't make your jaw drop, her second fatality is utterly ridiculous but it hits RuleOfFunny like no other: ''she smashes her opponent's jaw off, takes a selfie with them and sends it to her social media account!'' You can even [[DevelopersForesight watch the feed scroll by and look at all the reaction comments]], [[GoKartingWithBowser some of which even come from other kombatants]]. Behold some of the cheesiest puns ever conceived...
9--->'''[=Kool&TheKang=]''' ''(Liu Kang)'': Now that's an [[{{Pun}} in-jaw-ry]]! / Dentists hate her! / First!\

29'''[=ReptileDisfunction=]''' ''(Reptile)'': *chomp* *chomp* *hissssss*\
30'''[=SassyJacqui=]''' ''(Jacqui Briggs)'': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Did you change your hair?]] / No selfie stick?\
31'''[=TheRealKungLao=]''' ''(Kung Lao)'': I have no quarrel with this\
32'''[=AbsoluteSubZero=]''' ''(Sub-Zero)'': You have *got* to stop saying that ''(in response to Kung Lao's comment above)'' / Man, [[IncrediblyLamePun that's cold.]]\
33'''[=Noobde=]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ed Boon's real life Twitter handle[[/labelnote]] ''([[CreatorCameo Ed Boon]])'': That jawbone? LOOZE IT! / [[UrbanLegendOfZelda Has anyone unlocked]] [[TrollingCreator Fujin yet?]]\
34'''[=DN4DN=]''' ''(Dan Forden)'': TOASTY!\
35'''Random User''': [[{{Troll}} FAKE]] / OLD / Meh... Probably not even dead / [[MemeticMutation HOW CAN SHE SLAP?!]]
36** If you pay attention, Dan Forden's [[MemeticMutation Toasty]] picture is a profile icon.
37** And the name of the website Cassie uploads her selfie to? [[MythologyGag Friendships!]]
38** Sometime, even the dead opponent will comment on the selfie. Even with the ridiculous rules of resurrection in the Mortal Kombat universe, this is quite ridiculous.
39** The very idea that people like [[MindHive Ermac]], [[PhysicalGod Raiden]], [[{{Necromancer}} Quan Chi]], and [[BlindWeaponmaster Kenshi]] use social media is bound to get a few laughs. The fact that Kenshi is likely using said social media via [[MundaneUtility Sento]] is even funnier. Guess that's one way to use a magical sword fused with the spirits of your ancestors.
40* The Test Your Luck is back, and it has more humor.
41** [[TooFastToStop Hyper Mode]] is still here, and it is funny as all kingdom come as it also [[HeliumSpeech keeps the chipmunk speech]].
42** Tilting World has the screen tilt left and right, and when things like [[DeathFromAbove raining ice balls, lock-on missiles]], [[MindScrew assists from other characters like Rain and Kabal]], and the above mentioned Hyper Mode come along, [[BeyondTheImpossible it's more a challenge of trying to NOT get a headache from trying to pay attention than trying to win, especially if]] EverythingTryingToKillYou is in effect.
43* One stage interaction for the Outworld Market involves pulling ''a little old lady'' out of the background and throwing her at your opponent. And the Tanya compatibility update made it so throwing the lady at the opponent when their life is low enough results in a Stage Brutality. Normally, she is thrown at the opponent so hard that they completely explode into pieces, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdpR02toSdM but if you hold Down while throwing her,]] she will instead leap onto the opponent and ''punch their head until it explodes''. ''While making {{Kiai}} noises''. And since the game's training mode takes place in a [[ComicBook/XMen Danger Room]]-esque facility where you can load hologram versions of each stage's interactive elements, you can have fun throwing a ''hologram'' old lady at people over and over.
44* Cassie Cage in the character select screen. Walking into the foreground as her variation is being selected she does so while putting her bubblegum in her mouth. When it's time to select a stage, she pops it in her opponent's face. As she walks away upon choosing a stage, she [[FlippingTheBird flips the bird]].
45** Johnny shows us where Cassie gets her genes from: his variation selection has him talking into his phone, and after choosing a stage, he motions the opponent to call him.
46* Keeping with Cassie, it's now been revealed that (one of) her Brutalities involves a [[GroinAttack Nut Kracker]] so lethal that ''her opponent's head pops off their shoulders''. It's also shared by her father as well.
47-->'''Cassie''': Suck on that!\
48'''Johnny Cage''': Oh no I didn't!
49** One of Kitana's Brutalities involves her killing her enemy ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQYgoAmC3kI with her butt]].''
50** One of Ferra/Torr's Brutalities has Torr roll over the opponent, [[SquashedFlat flattening them like a cartoon character]].
51** Shinnok also has a similar Brutality to the above, where [[AnvilOnHead he squashes the opponent with a summoned bony foot]].
52** Mainly, most of the Brutalities wind up like this, from [[DopeSlap Cassie Bitchslapping her opponent's head backwards]], to [[LovableSexManiac Mileena]] catapulting herself ''butt first'' at her victim's head.
53** Also, one of Kotal Kahn's Brutalities involves ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQbS859--HI killing himself]]'' as if one wants to forfeit the match and is currently the only combatant to have a self-brutality (or if one will, a [[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception Hara-Kiri.]]) Needless to say, many players found this brutality to be amusing to the point of trolling their opponent.
54** Quan Chi's Summoner variation has a brutality involving sending his hell bat to bite off the enemy's head. The name of the Brutality? "Puggles' Wrath". So apparently [[FluffyTheTerrible the evil Netherrealm sorcerer named his hellbat "Puggles"]].
55** Jason's fatalities will warrant a few chuckles for those accustomed to BloodyHilarious, but Sleeping Bag is just funny.
56** Tremor's Brutalities take the cake as the funniest in the game. For example, he turns his opponent to stone and sits down before making an effort to shatter the statue in the most nonchalant way, or crushes his opponent's head with a ball that has a smiley face painted on it.
57** Bo'Rai Cho's Brutalities involve him vomiting on the enemy, making them vomit until they die, as Bo'Rai vomits next to them; crushing his enemy like a cartoon character with a belly flop; and belly bumping ''through'' them, vaporizing them.
58* Johnny Cage has one of the most [[BlackComedy hilarious]] fatalities in all of MK. He rips into his opponent's back from behind, until he's pulling both halves of him apart. Johnny looks through the new gaping hole in his opponent's chest and goes [[Film/TheShining "HEEEERE'S JOHNNY!"]] while [[LargeHam mugging]].
59** He also has one of the most hilarious Brutalities: launching a shadow clone of himself to kick his opponent in half, then he and his shadow clone mugging for the camera.
60** Another one has him killing his opponent with a barrage of punches, then charging an apparently powerful blow... Only to stop abruptly and simply poke the (still standing) corpse to make it fall to the ground.
61* Did you RageQuit disconnect? The person you disconnected on gets the satisfaction of watching YourHeadASplode in-game to the announcement of "QUITALITY!"
62* Just the fact that Erron Black has a bullet with his opponents name on it.
63** The implication that he may have a bullet for every character. Including [[MirrorMatch himself]], "''Me''", and maybe even the [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu final boss]]. [[spoiler: It still says "''Shinnok''".]]
64** The name on the bullet he uses against [[spoiler: Predator]] is [[spoiler:"''[[MythologyGag Ugly Mofo]]''"]]
65* If you subscribe to the [[MemeticMutation "skeletons are hilarious"]] school of thought, Shinnok's bone arms in his Necromancer variation are an absolute joy to see. Said form has him summon a giant skeletal hand to attack his opponent. One of his moves is having said hand ''flick'' the opponent and Necromancer Brutality has said hand act as a AnvilOnHead, crushing the sap flat! And don't forget the brutalities (Heavy Artillery, Nether Force, Instant Karma, Skull Transplant, Get Over Here, Little Devil, Kamikaze and Shokan Flame) that do this as well!
66* Mid-fight taunts:
67** Win a round, and Erron Black will offer to end the fight [[OnlyInItForTheMoney if the opponent pays him]].
68** One of Johnny Cage's is verbatim, "Hashtag you suck."
69** Jacqui can say "SayMyName, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!" a la [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Jagi]].
70** Jacqui: Stop staring at my butt! She say this to all males except her father.
71** Even after performing a Brutality, the winner will still taunt the loser all the same, resulting in such post-mortem one-liners as:
72*** Kung Lao demanding that the opponent he just decapitated to "Learn from this!"
73*** Takeda, after ''slicing his victim's legs off'', saying a very chirpy and jovial "Knucklehead!"
74*** Kenshi: "[[CaptainObvious You show little promise]]."
75*** Kenshi can literally kick the legs off someone and just nonchalantly ask, "[[{{Understatement}} Do you need a moment?]]"
76*** Erron Black: "[[NoSympathy Walk it off.]]"
77*** Kano: "Ain't that a bitch."
78** Sonya Blade: "Spoiler Alert: you lose." Side effect of being married to Johnny Cage perhaps.
79** Johnny Cage to Sonya: "I'm in command this time!"
80** Cassie Cage vs Sub-Zero: "You're less than zero." No kidding?
81** Johnny Cage: "I hate punching pretty things." He'll say this to Sonya, Kitana, and ''himself.''
82** Tremor: "Let's rock." So cheesy yet [[NarmCharm so undeniably badass]].
83** Normally, Predator's round victory pose has him mimic the opponent's laughter. If you adjust the settings so that you need to win more than 2 rounds, however, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyU3FCX6X9s he may instead copy one of his opponent's taunts on his second round victory]], including gut-busters like Johnny's "Hashtag you suck".
84* Jason's fatalities, while still pretty gruesome, are riddled with {{Scare Chord}}s and look like kill scenes out of a campy slasher film, including a cheesy, gasping expression on his opponent's face during one of them.
85** Likewise, Jason's [[UnfazedEveryman mere presence]] within the roster. Being his first time as a GuestFighter, you think he would be like [[spoiler:his mother from the first ''Film/FridayThe13th1980'' film and have weapons aside from his machete]], but nope. He just does things like he's done [[Film/JasonX before]] [[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan hand]].
86** When the other fighters taunt each other before a match loads, usually it involves trash talking or gesturing. Jason... just kinda wanders off, no matter how outlandish his opponent is.
87** One of his moves has him walk offscreen into a lake-side mist, and end up on the other side. Yes, they made [[OffscreenTeleportation his penchant for showing up in increasingly improbable places when he's not onscreen]] into an actual ''move''.
88* You've read the backstory... You've heard of it before... But nothing has prepared you for... [[http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/File:Mortal_kombat_x_ios_johnny_cage_render_4_by_wyruzzah-d8p4s07-1-.png Johnny Cage as Ninja Mime!]]
89* Tanya's basic punch is a bitch slap. It's even called such in the command menu.
90** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gORUWaFWngE&feature=youtu.be A glitch in Jason's Unstoppable stance leaves him "getting up" after certain Brutalities]], effectively [[spoiler: no-selling Kenshi cutting off his legs by just hovering there.]]
91* The Predator compatibility update added a new Brutality for Mileena where she crushes the opponent's head... with her ass. Yes, she ''sits'' on the opponent so hard that their head explodes.
92* Mortal Kombat X, [[HolidayMode 4th of July]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7NlTkzIlZs style]].
93** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6ZMJfOgOCI Another]] HolidayMode tower for Halloween. Complete with rockets made of candy corn, exploding pumpkins and [[spoiler:and a huge spider that {{jump scare}}s the player]].
94** For St. Patrick's Day, the holiday tower included goodies like green beer that slows your character and a drunk modifier that flipped around inputs.
95** And the Easter update involves a ''giant'' monster bunny jumping around in the background of the tower, complete with a bloody bucktooth mouth.
96** The AprilFoolsDay Tower '''BECOMES UTTER INSANITY'''. Actions include: [[InterfaceScrew a tilting screen that lowers its respective player's health]], matches with either [[StatusEffects low gravity, increased speed of both kombatants, or both effects]], [[TheComputerIsALyingBastard two events that lie to you - those being the two before the final match, power-ups with question marks flying all over the place]], and [[SNKBoss Kold War Scorpion being not in the slightest bit bothered]].
97* For a bit of immature humor, Tremor's Stalag-Might Fatality involves him summoning several rock spikes to impale the opponent at an angle. One of those spikes goes [[AssShove straight through their butt]].
98* According to the match dialogues between Johnny and Tremor, it turns out Tremor is a fan of Johnny's movies. Yes, you heard it. Tremor is a fan of [[ShowWithinAShow Johnny]] [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating Cage]] [[SoBadItsGood movies]].
99* You would think that [[DrunkenMaster Our dear friend Bo'Rai Cho]] is the Season 2 pack's barrel of fun? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqpCoXqNot8 Behold.]]
100* Shinnok's Impostor variation gives him a move that permits a one-time use of one of the enemy's special technique. What move does Shinnok get when copying Bo' Rai Cho? He gets ''Fart Cloud''.
101* Leatherface has three variations: Killer, Butcher... and [[RealMenWearPink Pretty Lady]]. Said variation costume is him in a suit, looking as fat as expected.
102** There's also Leatherface's main use of his chainsaw while in his Pretty Lady variation: [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks throwing it]] [[ImprobableUseOfAWeapon as a projectile]].
103** And then there's Leatherface's motives for fighting. [[spoiler:He fell in love with Cassie Cage and fought to catch her attention. [[{{Yandere}} It doesn't end well.]] [[NightmareFuel It doesn't end well]] ''[[NightmareFuel at all.]]'']]
104* In the Alien's ending, it shows several Outworld races as Xenomorph hybrids. Shokan Xenomorph - that's more creepy than funny. What ''is'' funny is that Ferra/Torr's symbiote race is apparently compatible to the extend that the hulking Torr!Xeno has a tiny Ferra!Xeno riding on its back!
105* One of Tri-Borg's Brutalities involves it pulling off its head and chucking it at the opponent, which knocks off the victim's head. Tri-Borg then pulls a GrandTheftMe of sorts, taking control of the victim's body while it's old body sparks, sputters, and shuts down.
106** His Death Machine fatality is pretty amusing as well. While it does leave the opponent as a cube of gore, the contraption that the three bodies make is incredibly goofy looking, with having the bright colors of his bodies, it looks more like a toy.
107* Proving that ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill, one of Leatherface's Brutalities is simply bashing his victim's skull in with a hammer, again, and again, and again. Just when it seems like it's over, his victim weakly reaches up. Leatherface then proceeds to DoubleTap them with his hammer. And then follows a long {{Beat}} before "Leatherface Wins" is anounced. It's like the announcer himself was speechless.
108* One of Alien's Brutalities is to implant a Xenomorph child into the opponent via ChestBurster. While there are some special alterations done for non-human characters such as Predator, using special inputs will cause the Chestburster to have different accessories based on the host like Jason's mask, Erron Black's cowboy hat and Johnny Cage's sunglasses.
109* Using Erron Black's Tunnel Vision Brutality leaves the opponent lying on the ground dead, after which a crow will come out to peck the corpse. Oh yeah, you can shoot the crow with a special input!
110* After Sub-Zero does his Klassic "Spine Rip" Fatality and holds the victim's head up, the decapitated opponent will actually reach for it before falling over.
111[[/folder]]

113[[folder:Story Mode & Comics]]
114* In Chapter 1 of the comics, suddenly, Hsu Hao, [[TheScrappy a character well-known to be reviled by everyone]], [[CreatorBacklash even by the developers]], makes an appearance! Is it a sign that the developers are warming up to him? Well, a few pages later, [[TakeThatScrappy he's instantly killed by]] [[CreatorsFavorite Boon's favorite dude, Scorpion]]. This is CreatorBacklash taken so... 'literally' that it ends up being downright hilarious. Bonus points for Scorpion modifying his CatchPhrase to convey what Boon (and a lot of other people) feels directly.
115-->'''[[GetOut GET OUT OF HERE!!!]]'''
116* Chapter 13 of the comic has Johnny and Sonya arguing while visiting Kotal Kahn. This would be a tense moment...until you see Kotal's face, which appears to say "Well, this is slightly annoying."
117* In Chapter 19 of the comic, after Ferra recalls how Kotal saved her and Torr from Tarkatans, D'Vorah remarks that the Tarkatans had put a price on their heads. [[LiteralMinded Cue Ferra trying to find where the price is on Torr's head]].
118* Chapter 30 of the comic has some BlackComedy after Havik blasts a ship full of Shokan warriors [[spoiler:with Shinnok's Amulet]].
119-->'''Havik''': How exciting it would be if that ship was carrying explo--\
120''The ship explodes with a gigantic "BA DOOM" that covers part of the horizon.''\
121'''Havik''': Never mind.\
122''Behind him, the brainwashed Cassie and Jacqui high-five each other.''
123* The LeaningOnTheFourthWall moment in Chapter 35, where Cyrax comments that the virus Sub-Zero used was made by a developer in Chicago. The comic all but outright says that Sub-Zero got the virus from Creator/NetherrealmStudios, maybe even from Ed Boon himself.
124* In Chapter 1, Shinnok is attacking Raiden, followed by being interrupted by Johnny Cage, causing him to drop his Amulet. The all powerful former Elder God's response? Throwing a {{Sesquipedalian Loquacious|ness}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1D9C08Dv_0 temper tantrum]].
125-->'''[[LargeHam Shinnok]]''': Miserable ''wretch''! Insignificant ''speck of FECULENT SCUM!'' '''HOW ''DARE'' YOU!!'''
126** Becomes funnier when you realize he basically just called Johnny [[PrecisionFStrike a piece of shit]].
127** After finishing the line above, he fires a magic blast..... ''at Kenshi'', even though Johnny Cage was the one who caused him to drop his amulet.
128** After Johnny finished his tale about the events which led to [[spoiler:Shinnok's defeat]] at the end of Chapter 1, the scene cuts to the Special Forces main base. We see Takeda, Kung Jin, Cassie, Jacqui, and Johnny giving them the debrief. Apparently, Jin and Cassie have a bit of a feud, considering Jin's first lines to her:
129--> '''Johnny:''' Raiden told me later that I descended from some Mediterranean war cult. "Bred as warriors for the gods." I've never been able to re-summon that green halo. Raiden thinks it was triggered when I saw a loved one about to die...\
130'''Kung Jin:''' How 'bout you, Cassie? Can you summon anything like that, or did it skip a generation?\
131'''Takeda:''' Take it easy, Jin...\
132'''Cassie:''' We didn't need a green halo in Darfur... Or Iran, or Kurdistan. Did we, Jacqui?\
133'''Jacqui:''' Nope, we didn't. Shaolin monks ever sent you there, Jin?
134** Earlier in Chapter 1, halfway through the QTE sequence, Johnny smacking away a severed head of a soldier.
135--> '''Johnny:''' [[{{Squick}} Ugh, nasty!]]
136** In the same chapter, the way Scorpion appears out of seemingly nowhere may come across as unintentionally comedic to some, particularly the fact that he's revealed standing ''right next to the soldiers'' in a way that's physically impossible to have been done stealthily and in short notice. It might even come across as [[{{Narm}} narmy]] on a repeat playthrough.
137*** After a QTE fending off Sub-Zero, Johnny dishes/takes a hit and pauses to regain his footing as the camera closes up to his face. Suddenly, he feels something is amiss as he stares ahead of him with a serious look, while the camera slowly, ''slowly'' pans to reveal Scorpion standing there all along, [[https://imgur.com/a/DTf8zsm staring in a way that for some reason makes the shot hilarious out of context]]. Perhaps it's the almost innocent look Johnny has on his face as he finally senses Scorpion's presence, or the fact that Scorpion isn't poised to strike, or even taking a combat stance at all for that matter.
138* A subtle one at the start of Chapter 3 when Johnny's team prepares to infiltrate the Lin Kuei temple and the team members talk about how they're gonna bag the assassin order's grandmaster. Look at the face Johnny Cage makes behind everyone's back when Cassie says "He (Sub-Zero) won't know what hit him.". This becomes even funnier when you've played story mode before and you know how that mission eventually turns out and you're aware of the fact that Johnny was in on it all the time.
139* Johnny Cage's arcade ending. You think he would stay and protect [[spoiler:Shang Tsung's old island]], right? He soon [[spoiler:finds Tsung's secret to [[WhoWantsToLiveForever the lifespan of Edenians]]]]. Retirement will have to wait.
140* In Kung Jin's chapter, the Special Forces see Ferra / Torr for the first time.
141--> '''Cassie''': [[AllGirlsLikePonies You couldn't ask for a pony like every other girl?]]
142** In fact this is actually an ActorAllusion for [[Creator/TaraStrong Ferra]] since she [[ActorAllusion voiced as a]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendShipIsMagic certain famous pony]].
143* In chapter 5, during a QTE Sonya has to give a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown onto Quan Chi in order to break one of his spells [[spoiler: to free Johnny, Jax, Scorpion and Sub-Zero]]. Not only is it cathartic as hell to watch, but one of the moves she does is ''[[GroinAttack stomping with full force on Quan Chi's crotch.]]'' [[OhCrap His reaction]] [[ThisIsGonnaSuck before]] [[InstantSoprano and after]] is just gold.
144* At the end of D'vorah's chapter, [[spoiler:Jacqui tells the group of her [[PapaWolf father, Jax]] is being too over-protective. During the time she joins the Special Force in Johnny's group, Johnny Cage insist of telling his dad about it thinking it would be much smoother. Knowing the relationship between Cage and Jax, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck you would know this would not end well]]. Cassie Cage adds that she remembers her dad coming home with a broken jaw after telling it to Jax. Ouch!]]
145** [[spoiler: To be frank any time that Jax goes PapaWolf and being over-protective of her daughter like Jax vs Takeda. See quotes above.]]
146* At the end of Jackson Briggs' chapter, Quan Chi attempts an appeal to Jax, who was once his servant. Jax's response? [[TalkToTheFist Uppercutting Quan Chi and KO'ing him in one hit.]]
147* The fact that, in Cassie Cage's chapter, you can end the fight [[spoiler:with Corrupted Shinnok]] by giving him a GroinAttack.
148** When Cassie [[spoiler: finds out she has the same powers as her dad]].
149-->'''Cassie''': Holy shit, it does run in the family.
150* Reptile's ending, despite being a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} for him, is a brilliant and funny take on a simple trope: [[spoiler:SewerGator]]
151* The last few seconds of the beatdown montage on Raiden near the end of his chapter - while seeing Liu Kang jumping on Raiden's back (accompanied with a bloodcurdling scream) is just brutal, there's just something inherently funny about seeing all of the revenants teaming up to literally stomp on Raiden like a bunch of gangsters while he's curled up in the fetal position.
152** Just prior to said beatdown - as dire the situation is, there's something hilarious about seeing the revenants surrounding Raiden... only to start lightly pushing him to one another like a gang of schoolyard bullies.
153[[/folder]]
154
155[[folder:Trailers & Meta]]
156* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hbz8h819-4 The Cage Family trailer]].
157-->'''Sonya''': What's your update from Col. Flag?\
158'''Johnny''': He said, "Why you bothering me?" And I said, "Because [[spoiler:my ex-wife]] is a pain in the--''(CurseCutShort to gameplay footage of [[VisualPun Sonya breaking someone's neck with her knee]])''
159** Later on...
160--->'''Sonya''': Prisoner transport will be here in twenty.\
161'''Johnny''': Oh...''now'' she trusts me to babysit.\
162''(Cut to Cassie [[VisualPun in a cage]])''\
163'''Cassie''': Well, if they don't kill us, my mother will...
164* The Shaolin Trailer ended with Liu Kang tearing out Raiden's trachea and shoving it in his mouth. Considering what happened when he followed his directions last game, it's a perfect way of telling him to shut up. This fatality is topped off Liu Kang making Raiden fall downwith a gentle poke.
165* On the meta front, the Creator/ConanOBrien [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNpkSyryQz4 MKX matches]] featuring [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague Marshawn Lynch and Rob Gronkowski]].
166-->'''Conan''': Gronk, use your bumblebees! ...that's [[ARareSentence a stupid thing to say, would you ever say "Gronk, use your bumblebees]]"?
167** Their reaction to Kano disembowling Ferra/Torr (with Rob having referred to Ferra as "his life coach"), especially as Marshawn [[NoJustNoReaction puts the controller down]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere and walks off]]. They don't even show the rest of the fatality (Kano blowing a hole in the middle of Torr's head with his laser eye).
168** Second match with Cassie vs. D'Vorah.
169-->'''Lynch''': [[MakesSenseInContext She blew a bubble. She blew a bee.]]
170** Lynch finds out that Cassie's combo involves shooting her opponent in the face. This delights him.
171--->'''Lynch''': OHHH! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis POINT! BLANK! IN BROAD! DAYLIGHT!]] Rock-a-bye, baby! Yeah! HAHAHA! That's that New Jack City, boy!
172** [[ShareTheMalePain Their reaction to]] Cassie's GroinAttack on D'Vorah.
173--->'''Lynch''': What the fuck was that?!\
174'''Conan''': Oh! No! You ''can't'' do that!\
175'''Lynch''': Yes the fuck you ''can''!
176** Marshawn Lynch chanting "Lick the gun, lick the gun" repeatedly when Cassie wins... and Conan joining in.
177** Conan's [[TroubledFetalPosition reaction]] towards Quan Chi's fatality.
178* This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d25s5nJHsag Mortal Kombat X trailer]] when the ''entire population'' gathers up to see the fight while Chop Suey by ''System of a Down'' plays. After Scorpion deals the Fatality, their reactions is what you'd expect. Then they go on to another fight.
179* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfP2mhYvqL8 Jason's gameplay trailer]], he ends it by performing a Fatality on Jax, unintentionally playing straight BlackDudeDiesFirst.
180** Meanwhile, BlackDudeDiesFirst gets a strange variation where Jason is doing a fatality... on Erron ''[[StealthPun Black]]''.
181** In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n2ob-SC0SU Kombat Kast livestream]] showing off Jason, when the developers were showing off his "Unstoppable" variation which allows him to [[LastChanceHitPoint regain a small portion of health upon getting KO'd]], one of the devs chimes: "'''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis YOU CAN'T! KILL! JASON!]]'''" The accompanying ScareChord makes it all the more funny.
182* The Fatality sound effects are done by... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMeghQYbFYE fart sounds]].
183* In the trailer for the Kombat Pack 2, you've got a scene of Quan Chi and Ermac alone in the woods, in what's obviously a horror movie, which reveals Leatherface, Sektor's head on life support, which reveals the Tri-Borg, and D'Vorah about to kill Baraka, who's been infected by a Xenomorph. Amidst all that.. is Bo'Rai'Cho waking up from an apparent hangover, and then drinking from a flask. Compared to the other intros, it's completely underwhelming, [[TakeThatScrappy which might have been the point.]] In the Leatherface intro segment, he rushes out and kills ''Ermac'', one of the most powerful characters in the franchise, ''with a goddamn chainsaw.'' Followed by the Xenomorph bursting out of (maybe) Baraka's chest, with him staring at it as if to say "Goddamn it, I thought I could get in this time." There's also D'Vorah's reacton during their segment; it perfectly captures a sense of a slow "What the fuck..." given in facial form.
184* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hRsesnfYPA This video]] shows what happens when someone swaps the Xenomorph's model with another characters. Because of how the Xenomorph's hands and arm spikes are modeled, this results in a lot of FlippingTheBird.
185** The faces the characters end up making could also be considered this or NightmareFuel, depending on the person.
186* There's something funny about how Kenshi, despite being blind, is able to comment on things he'd logically not be able to see or take part in, such as being able to use social media websites or notice that Leatherface is wearing a safety apron. Then you realize that Sento is probably telling him what's in front of him. In other words, Kenshi is using a mystical sword filled with the souls of his ancestors [[MundaneUtility as a seeing-eye sword.]]
187* During a [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX MKX]] livestream, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bY5VZOlFIg this happened]], with the streamers declaring they'll make a .gif out of the moment.
188* One of Kenshi's variations is specifically modeled after his moveset in ''[=MK9=]'', where he was considered an overpowered HighTierScrappy within the competitive scene. The variation's name? [[IronicName Balanced.]]
