Line #41 Funny/DeusExHumanRevolution


1	* Perhaps the foremost example is some players' behavior. More than one person has created endless amusement by playing Adam Jensen as a psychopath.
2	* While talking to Pritchard at Sarif Industries, one of the offhand comments he'll make during the conversation is "Jensen, I know your body's been going through a lot of changes lately, but you didn't become a woman. Stay out of the ladies restroom." The unexpectedness of it was a real treat.
3	** It's a ShoutOut to the first game. When you first visited the [=UNATCO=] [=HQ=], you could go into the woman's restrooms, where a woman using it would chide you for being in there. Manderley would later chew you out for being in there during the first debriefing.
4	** Even made funnier when you were sneaking into the Lady's Restroom to listen in on their chat only to then get berated with that comment.
5	* The CASIE implant incorporates pheromone projection - which happens to be organized along [[AlphaAndBetaWolves alpha, beta, and omega]] types. you have to wonder if one of the devs has a...''colorful'' search history[[note]]Though in the context of the game, alpha personalities tend to look for the option that benefits them the most, betas enjoy being superior to others and like it when people praise them, and omegas will crack easily and cave to pressure, so there.[[/note]].
6	* [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential You can sucker punch anyone]] (excluding certain zones). That's right: ''anyone''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS2EpusiHMk A small taste]].
7	** It's hilarious when used ''in context''. The lady outside your apartment who scorns you for having augs? Cold cock her.
8	** If you perform a non-lethal double takedown behind two enemies, Jensen could end up kicking one of them in the back of the knee and quickly grabbing the second person and positioning them. The first person will stand back up and take a swing at Jensen but ends up knocking out the second person. Then Jensen finishes the first person off with a few body shots and a hard throw to the floor.
9	** Equally hilarious is the variant Adam does when he's facing someone. No special moves. He just hauls off and decks them.
10	*** Even more hilarious is that this has ''three'' variants: a straight punch with no warning, a heavy punch in which Jensen throws his body forward and a very quick one-two left and right punch. All of these are funny to watch due to how sudden and quick they start and end.
11	** Another one, hilarious in its brutal simplicity compared with other, more complex ones, is that Jensen just grabs the first target and headbutts him/her, then turns, grabs the second one, headbutts him/her, and walks on.
12	** Several of the two-person non-lethal takedowns start with your targets attacking Jensen first and him expertly countering their assaults. However, since you can do it on any two people, you're just as likely to counter two hardened security officers as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMl-4BndT20 street prostitutes]].
13	** One lethal takedown has Jensen ''picking up'' one of the enemies, and ''dropping him onto the other'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCcGmpuG5ew&feature=player_detailpage#t=187s followed by a quick stab through both]]. BloodyHilarious at its finest.
14	** You could perform feats of Franchise/{{Predator}}-like badassery just by generally cloaking up and then performing a takedown, or sometimes the multiple takedown. It is downright hilarious to see yet another guy look around for you, unsure where you are, and perform ''yet another'' takedown, uncloaking in the process. It might be highly energy consuming but it's worth it.
15	** The ultimate example of Jensen's epic-level face-punching prowess is that, during the boss battle with Namir, with the right timing the player can trigger a takedown and kill him with a single punch to the jaw.
16	*** The first time, it was a GoodBadBug and fixed for the Director's Cut, but apparently he retains the takedown vulnerability when he decloaks after throwing gas grenades. So you can still lay him out in one punch.
17	* Jensen's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y414Q7vVgYU dance moves]].
18	* "Malik? Remind me to never piss you off."[[labelnote:Context]]Malik just had Jensen broadcast her friend's boyfriend's murder confession on the walls of his favorite bar.[[/labelnote]]
19	** Malik mentioned that [[spoiler:Lee Hong]] is not the smartest tool in the shed. How dumb is he, exactly? Just take the code on his door: [[spoiler:1234.]]
20	** From the same mission, if you kill [[spoiler:Lee Hong]] rather than do as Faridah asks:
21	-->'''Malik:''' [[WhatTheHellHero What the hell]], Jensen, I never said anything about killing him!\
22	'''Adam:''' Would you believe me if I said it was an accident?
23	** Or if you knock him unconscious before talking to him:
24	-->'''Malik:''' Jensen! [[WhatTheHellPlayer Why did you do that]]? How exactly do you plan on [[spoiler:getting a confession]] out of someone who's unconscious!\
25	'''Adam:''' Shit happens. [[BlatantLies I'm sorry]].
26	* When Adam is flown to Hengsha, China, a gem of a moment happens when the camera pans and [[LayeredMetropolis Hengsha]] is seen. Adam's reaction to the city isn't one of wonder or interest, but rather it's a reaction much in the same way the [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe player would]] [[ThisISGonnaSuck likely react]]; bonus points for being one of the rare moments Jensen says something [[NotSoStoic outside of his typical cold monotone.]]
27	-->'''Jensen:''' Son of a ''bitch''...I'm supposed to find answers in ''that?''
28	* Taking out Zeke Sanders with a double takedown between him and Josie Thorp, especially if you trigger the one where Adam kicks Zeke to then have him [[ShootTheHostage punch Josie's lights out]].
29	* Omega Ranch is a secret facility of secret facilities. It's patrolled regularly by guards, robots, and the best electronic security that you can get...and they still get spammed by Nigerian Scam emails.
30	** Possibly due to how the security team keeps downloading animal porn and putting it on one of the scientists' computers to mess with him.
31	* Finding a "Final Fantasy XXVII" poster in Pritchard's office and the [[spoiler: Omega Ranch]] was a nice bit of self-referential humor from Creator/SquareEnix.
32	** Amusingly in [[spoiler:Omega Ranch]] the posters are in the barracks room of some soldier. That guy must be a serious geek when he isn't guarding a top-secret facility for an evil conspiracy.
33	* At the Omega Ranch, you can read elaborately-worded emails sent by an angry scientist complaining that someone keeps putting animal porn on his computer. He requests security help him catch the perpetrator. When you get further inside the Ranch, however, it becomes apparent that the security guards are the ones pranking him. [[Series/{{The Office\|UK}} They also did something with his stapler]].
34	* One of the emails you read on the Omega Ranch is from the office administrator, who notes that people have been using equipment as benches due to a lack of chairs. After a long-winded explanation of how the tensile strength is not enough to support a human's weight, he ends "In short, [[SophisticatedAsHell stop breaking shit with your fat asses. XOXOXO, The Management]]."
35	* After you hack into Pritchard's computer, you will see his email regarding to his rejected drama script from Picus TV. The producer doesn't like his script about a super hacker who saves the world via desktop (like himself) and suggests that characters such as vigilante ex-cops who fight crime while trying to maintain their morals (like Jensen) are more popular. No wonder why he doesn't like Jensen that much.
36	* In [[spoiler:the Picus Sub-Basement]], one employee complains via email that the [[spoiler:partially holographic statue of the MJ-12 logo]] out front is a waste of money that looks like something out of a Bond movie. Another employee simply retorts that "[[RuleOfCool It looks cool]]."
37	* On a side mission to find out about the death of Malik's friend, Adam Jensen has to meet with someone called Anonymous X and say the phrase [[SpySpeak "Death and Life have their determined appointments."]] To which he would reply [[SpySpeak "Riches and honor depend upon heaven."]] Adam comments it sounds [[LampshadeHanging like a bad spy movie]] but the real gem is when you meet with Anonymous X. Adam can be professional and say the phrase, he can be impatient and just demand Anonymous X to give Adam what he wants, or he can be dismissive and the conversation goes as such:
38	-->'''Jensen:''' Something, something, Death and taxes. Confucius.\
39	'''Anonymous X:''' What? Wait, that - that's not it at all! That's not even close!\
40	'''Jensen:''' Does it matter?\
41	'''Anonymous X:''' Of course it matters! Otherwise, how am I supposed to know you're- You were supposed to say 'death and life have their determined appointments'! Then I say 'riches and honor depend upon heaven'!\
42	'''Jensen:''' Okay. 'Death and life have their determined appointments'.\
43	'''Anonymous X:''' Riches and hon- oh nevermind! You ruined the whole thing!
44	** The best thing about Anonymous X is his [[ImageBoards #Chan]] hat.
45	*** As soon as Malik first says the name "Anonymous X" she immediately follows with "I know, I know..." as if saying "Yes, ''that'' Anonymous".
46	** The real kicker is the way Jensen says the "Something, something" line. Which is to say that he delivers it with his usual dead-serious tone.
47	** Even more fantastic; [[TakeAThirdOption take the third choice]]:
48	-->'''Jensen''': Nice hat. I'm here for Evelyn's autopsy report.\
49	'''Anonymous X''': What? Are you mad?!\
50	'''Jensen''': No, just impatient.
51	** The capstone to the entire thing, though, is to pay off Anonymous X when he asks for his money, and then knock him out and take your cash back. There's no real reason to do this (you can just refuse to pay him and walk away over his protests) except ''because you can.'' Hell, it's arguably just as entertaining to refuse to pay.
52	-->'''Jensen''': Word to the wise. If you're going to extort money from someone, don't wait until after you've given them what they want.
53	** Then punch him in the face anyway.
54	* After Pritchard relays Jensen a message from [[spoiler:Zeke Sanders]], Jensen takes the opportunity to correct Pritchard's pronunciation of the word "[[spoiler:[[ForeignCussWord cholo]]]]" in the most condescending tone possible.
55	* Just this:
56	-->'''Gang member''': Rest in peace, Big Rizzle.\
57	'''Jensen''': ''(completely uninterested)'' Yeah, RIP.
58	* In a brilliant case of DevelopersForesight, you might feel so inclined to break into all the officers at Sarif HQ to steal anything you can, especially when you get asked to investigate some offices. Well do that, then when [[spoiler: you revisit the building later on,]] be sure to check your office e-mails. [[spoiler: You discover that there has been an [[TakeThat office bandit']] going around stealing everything, with wild accusations flying around.]] You get asked to investigate but of course, you find [[FridgeBrilliance no leads.]]
59	* Overhearing the argument between Mei and her manager at the Hung Hua Hotel will get you this:
60	-->'''Mei''': Tell your customers to get augmentations themselves and go fuck themselves!\
61	'''Manager''': [[ScrewYourself I'm sure some of them already have.]]
62	* On the side quest to rescue a kidnapped prostitute in Hengsha, Jensen has to talk to an informant who demands a bribe. If you refuse, he'll point out that you can't expect just to knock him out, as [[LampshadeHanging he doesn't just conveniently carry that information on him]]. If you do knock him out....he really won't have that information anywhere on him. On the other hand, after you pay him, there's nothing stopping you from knocking him out and getting your money back.
63	* Trying to use the Social Enhancer on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E75ln7u_5PM Malik.]]
64	* Absolutely anything involving vending machines or refrigerators. Especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l3wOT9cSg4 this]].
65	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymtCllSsfcg Acknowledged]] [[AscendedMeme by the dev team!]]
66	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xd0LO04tis "Nice sunglasses. But it's night-time, you dig?"]] (Note, the music doesn't actually play in the game itself.)
67	* When Pritchard calls Jensen to bug him about an early mission if you've been roaming around instead of, you know, completing the objective, Jensen formally calls him "Francis".
68	* When Jensen meets a corrupt cop (posing as a hired killer to murder a witness), one of the responses is pretty funny:
69	-->'''O'Malley''': Were you followed?\
70	'''Jensen''': [[SarcasmMode Yeah, by a clown and a midget for a while. But they eventually met the bearded woman they were looking for near a coffee shop and we went our separate ways.]]
71	* Some of the Picus news crawls are hilarious.
72	-->''Wisconsin cheese-eating champion dead of lactose intolerance.''\
73	''"[[Series/SoYouThinkYouCanDance So You Think You Can Dodge Traffic]]" was pulled from the network today.''
74	* Anyone you end up bribing or otherwise paying money to can be immediately cold-cocked in the face to get your money back. You can even bypass the entire conversation/sidequest with Brian Tindall by simply rolling up to him while he's sitting there and walloping him in the nose, then taking the recording from him.
75	** Take down the two drug dealers ''before'' you talk to him, then agree to help him. When Brian tells Adam the names of the drug dealers, Adam's response is along the lines of: "Wait, ''those'' guys? Yeah, they're actually out of the picture. They'd... already stepped on the wrong toes."
76	* When Tong contacts you directly through your personal communications link:
77	-->'''Jensen:''' Tong! How did you get my frequency?\
78	'''Tong:''' [[ShoutOut Ancient Chinese secret.]]
79	** Tong in general is hilarious when he's playing dumb with Jensen...
80	-->'''Jensen:''' I'm looking for a man named Arie van Bruggen.\
81	'''Tong:''' Never heard of him. What he do? Steal your girl? Owe you money?
82	** Or...
83	-->'''Jensen:''' Vasili Sevchenko.\
84	'''Tong:''' Never touch the stuff.
85	** Which leads to some fridge humor [[spoiler: since Tong is currently wearing Sevchenko's arm, so he is actually touching Vasili.]]
86	* Windmill's apartment in Hengsha has a bunch of post-it notes stuck to his workstation. Several of them have girls' phone numbers on them... along with doodles of the [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/forever-alone Forever Alone guy]].
87	* Everyone can get Jensen's frequency, from random hackers to crimelords. And he's ''always'' surprised.
88	* In the Picus sub-basement, you can find an email regarding their plans to discredit someone capable of exposing [[spoiler:Taggart's ties to Purity First]] by forging and leaking an incriminating video. Said e-mail asks the recipient for input as to what the video will contain: "[[Creator/ParisHilton home porno]] or [[Creator/MelGibson racist drug-induced violent episode]]?"
89	* When in the [[spoiler: FEMA internment camp]] you can find a guard with the key code for his quarters in his pocket. You will also find a note from the IT guy announcing that after all the times that guy's forgotten his code, he's getting the damn thing written down so the guy will stop pestering him, no matter how many security protocols it breaks.
90	* Failing the dialogue with Wayne Haas in the Police Department gives you a two-way snark exchange between Jensen and his boss.
91	-->'''Jensen:''' Hey, uh, boss. How badly do you want that report?\
92	'''Sarif:''' If you're considering multiple homicides to get it, I suggest you back off and look for a less, uh... conspicuous way in. From outside the building.
93	* When Adam finds Sarif in his apartment, he gets out two glasses and a bottle of whiskey, and pours himself a glass while he asks Sarif a question. He clearly doesn't like Sarif's answer, and [[PokeThePoodle doesn't pour Sarif a glass]] as a result.
94	* Before you go to the convention center to confront [[spoiler: Taggart about Sandoval's involvement with the kidnapping,]] Sarif tells you that the guy is having a press conference.
95	-->'''Sarif''': Bitch even sent me an invite.
96	* The whiskey you can find in the game is of the distinguished [[FunWithAcronyms Tango Foxtrot]] brand.
97	* Meta Example: Megan Reed is voiced by Michelle Boback, who is married to Adam Jensen's voice actor; Elias Toufexis. According to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkkOETdnIOc this video]], Elias and Michelle got into an argument on the morning of the day they were to record Adam and Megan arguing [[spoiler:after Adam rescues her at the Omega Ranch and confronts her about using his DNA for her research]]. [[EnforcedMethodActing Both decided not to make up until afterwards and thus were ''genuinely'' angry at each other when recording the scene.]]
