Go To

1* While it’s definitely [[NightmareFuel horrifying]], Khan's explanation for why the ghosts exist is [[BlackComedy darkly hilarious]]: [[spoiler:the nuclear war somehow ''blew up the afterlife''. Whoops.]]
2* This exchange:
3-->'''Commissar''': ...The Party teaches that only the Communist way can show the true path through the tunnels...
4-->'''Soldier''': Comrade Commissar, what does the party teach about the two-headed mutants that roam the Frontline?
5-->'''Commissar''': Um... er...
6-->'''Soldier''': Well, so much for the entertainment.
7-->'''Commissar''': SILENCE!
8** In itself a reference to the same line in the book, although Artyom gets ignored when pitching it to religious nuts.
9* A joke for those who are familiar with Russian slang: The series' fully automatic lead-hurling shotgun is called the ''Abzats'', which literally translates to "paragraph" - but is also Russian slang for "Oh shit." Given how much damage this thing can deal up close, it's a very fitting name.
10* Ulman [[spoiler:dicking around on the intercom]] in D-6.
11-->"People of Metro! We have awaited your arrival! We are those who are called the Invisible Watchers. Your time has come. And now you will feel our wrath!"
12* Artyom's {{Idle Animation}}s have their moments.
13** The Bastard on its own has two examples:
14*** He accidentally breaks off the fire selector after fidgeting with it. After a {{beat}} where he's clearly thinking "Shit, ''that'' wasn't supposed to happen," he sticks it right back on.
15*** He starts tossing it up. After a few times, the gun disappears. As he looks up, it crashes back down into his hands.
16** He pulls the Duplet's stock so hard it comes off. He's hasty to put it back on.
17** He shocks himself with the Universal Charger.
18** He plays the air guitar on the Kalash 2012.
19** He rings the bicycle bell on the Bigun.
20** He puts his finger in front of the hammer on the Ashot... which then closes on him, as he grunts in pain and pulls his finger out.
21* This exchange.
22-->'''Guard''': Face to the wall! This is an inspection.
23-->'''Comedian''': C'mon, quit harassing me! I don't swing that way!
24--> '''Guard''': Cut the bullshit! Prepare for inspection!
25--> '''Comedian''': I'm always prepared for this! Doctor, could you check my prostate while you're at it? I'm pissing kinda funny, it's glowing, must be the radiation.
26* Ulman as he and Artyom arrive at Polis; his response to a guard asking who they are.
27-->"Oooh, we're Nazis! Come to take your station!"
28* During or after the fight in the Bandit station you can crawl through a large maze built of crates presumably hoping for loot. Instead you fond a bandit smoking a hookah full of Khan only knows what, so completely stoned he missed the massacre going on around him even if you went loud.
29** Artyom can also take a hit once the Bandit is dead which warps the screen and scrambles your controls for a bit.
30* After you meet Khan for the first time in the game, you can look around the bandit leader's room and you'll find a teddy bear on his cot, right next to the head of a nosalis mounted on the wall. Just try to imagine that big tough bandit leader curled up on his cot, hugging his teddy and sucking his thumb while he sleeps.
31* Bourbon has some funny moments, like when he's trying to open a gate and starts talking to it.
32--> "Open up, baby, and I promise I will come back and refurbish you. Also get you new paint."
33* While crossing the front line between the [[DirtyCommunists Reds]] and [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis]], Artyom muses in a journal page that the two sides are not so different, especially in how they treat spies, so [[TemptingFate he can't let himself get captured]]. Literally less than a minute of gameplay later, he opens the wrong door and gets captured by a pair of Nazi mooks.
