4Just because your game is about [[VideoGame/{{Warframe}} badass space ninjas]] in a dark future doesn't mean you can't have a laugh or two every now and again.

7!Gameplay
8* The sheer time it takes (''thousands'' of hours for older players) before the player can create their own character has caused many fans to joke that Warframe is the RPG with the longest tutorial in history.
9* The Stalker accusing you of murdering General Sargas Ruk when you're running Gravidus Dilemma missions for him. Or, as [=MJ12=] Commando puts it:
10--> [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/warframe-2-electric-boogaloo.268804/page-52#post-12233121 Hey dude, he's right here on the phone with me!]]
11* '''Darvo:''' "I'm detecting a large security force heading your way. It's the Gri- No wait, it's the Corpus. Definitely the Corpus."
12** This is SelfDeprecation referring to how the Lotus would always say additional forces were Grineer... when they were Corpus or Infested.
13* Occasionally the AI of an enemy will be confused between two positions they can take cover in and the player's distance. This results in them running in circles endlessly.
14* Using Valkyr's Rip Line ability on a Scorpion finally giving them a taste of their own medicine.
15* Rhino's colossal [[GagPenis codpiece]] has to be seen to be believed (especially when paired with the Limbo Agile animation set's rhythmic pelvic thrusts), and Volt is no slouch in the department, either.
16* The event where the Tenno rescue Darvo from his father, Frohd Bek. Throughout the entire mission, the two bicker about duty and freedom as the Tenno slaughter their way through Corpus troops, and Darvo keeps apologizing to the Tenno for [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents having to listen to all this]].
17* Mindlessly mashing [[DifficultButAwesome Cleaving Whirlwind's Broken Bull]] spin attack leads to your Tenno ''getting dizzy''.
18* Hydroid's dual pistol idle animation for his Noble stance will cause him to look around for a moment before throwing his head back and [[EvilLaugh having himself a silent, sinister little chuckle.]] Combined with the already Jack-Sparrow-esque stance, it becomes very amusing. It's made funnier by the fact that he'll look around before doing it, like he's making sure that nobody is watching. If the player can stay still long enough to do the Idle animation, there's probably nobody around but the Tenno.
19* In the revamped Tutorial, when the Tenno realizes that Darvo's blueprint for the antidote for the parasite that is slowly turning the Tenno into Vor's puppet requires components that Darvo "conveniently" forgot to give them, Ordis has some... choice words for him. We don't actually hear the rant, but Darvo's response says it all.
20-->'''Darvo''': I just received a very explicit message from your ship cephalon. If you're looking for resources, why didn't you just say so? I know just the place, but I demand an apology. [[NoodleImplements My mother is no gymnast and she would never eat]] ''[[NoodleImplements those]]'' [[NoodleImplements things!]]
21** Ordis's reaction to finding out the Tenno plans to raise a Kubrow on the ship.
22--->'''Ordis:''' ''An incubator segment? '''YOU WANT TO TURN ME INTO A PETTING ZOO?--''' Ordis is happy to assist the operator in restoring ship functionality.''\
23'''Ordis:''' ''To think it's been years since a Kubrow '''SPREAD FILTH ALL--''' graced this ship! Operator, drop the egg into the system to begin breeding-- '''DROP IT ON THE FLOOR.''' ''
24** Ordis has many moments when his voice switches abruptly that can range from funny to slightly disturbing.
25--->'''Ordis:''' The Operator has all the necessary blueprints to craft an Archwing. '''SO WHAT ARE YOU ''WAITING'' FOR?!'''
26** His reactions during the Limbo Theorem questline are also golden. He goes from dismissive, claiming the theorem is nonsense - then becomes amused, as it seems Limbo has been hiding something in the theorem - and finally eagerly awaiting news of further discoveries to discover what happened to Limbo. And then you get the final line.
27* Getting an explosive kill with the Galatine. If the right animation plays, expect to be saying "IT'S A HOME RUN!" to yourself as you see mangled body parts flying off into the distance.
28* Just about every kill with the various bow type weapons count, especially when the arrow or bolt goes through several enemies at once and pins them all to the wall. It's difficult to pull off, it's incredibly awesome when it happens, and it's funny as hell to boot.
29* The [[http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Mutalist_Quanta Mutalist Quanta]] is a Corpus [[Franchise/DeadSpace Line Gun]]-looking weapon that's been covered in the [[TheVirus Infestation]]. While the regular [[http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Quanta Quanta]] has a standard 'pull clip out, put clip in' reload animation, when you reload the Mutalist Quanta, a little tentacle pops out of the Infested mass and pulls out the empty clip while the Tenno slots a new one in at the same time. [[UglyCute Awww.]]
30* The Hidden Messages quest has you riddling out poems engraved on components for the Mirage Warframe, and as it turns out, Ordis is quite a harsh critic when it comes to Mirage's poetry.
31-->'''Ordis on the first poem:''' You'd think that the Orokin would have something better to do than scribble nursery rhymes on things. Oh well, I suppose not everything you craft can be of use.\
32'''Ordis on the second poem:''' I have no idea what that means, though if I had to describe its literary merit, I might use another word that rhymes with "witty".\
33'''Ordis on the final poem:''' My theory, whoever wrote these poems wielded Mirage so deftly that nobody dared criticize her poetry.
34* The quest for Mirage ends with one of Warframe's first [[TearJerker truly emotional moments]] - the memory of [[BolivianArmyEnding Mirage facing down an unstoppable horde of Sentients]] while telling the Lotus not to despair. When Limbo, the next frame to be acquired by quest came out, the recovered memory of the original Limbo at the end of the quest was... rather different in tone.
35-->'''Ordis:''' Oh! Wait! Limbo, no! That's a mistake, you don't want to go there; it's too big a jump, you can't Rift Walk... [[LudicrousGibs ohhhh]], [[TeleporterAccident no.]]
36* The ArtificialAtmosphericActions of some of the Syndicate personnel in the Relay Hubs are hilarious, such as the group of New Loka on the stairs who look like they are completely stoned (including one who is fascinated by her own hands and another who looks like he's trying to control the nearby waterfall with his mind) and a couple of Perrin Sequence who are apparently trying to take apart a section of the wall behind one of the signs.
37** One of the Tenno personnel charged with maintenance and repair of landing craft will sometimes try out one of the passenger compartments after checking to see if anyone's looking.
38** One of the Grineer defectors with Steel Meridian trying to take care of the lone plant in their rooms.
39* The stealth kill for a Nikana with Blind Justice equipped: you trip the enemy, and then spin around so they fall on your sheathed blade.
40* With a Mesa equipped, it's possible to kill Vor in less than 10 seconds if he appears in T4 Void missions. You then spend several minutes listening to Vor's dialogue continue on after he's already dead.
41* Chroma's (agile) idle animation for throwable secondary weapons. Most other frames do fancy tricks with them; Chroma just suddenly hurls them onto the ground angrily, then looks around sheepishly and bends down to pick them back up again.
42* Turns out Ordis wasn't the only cephalon with a few screws loose, according to ThoseTwoGuys in Conclave Capture the Flag mode.
43-->'''Cephalon Vull''': ''(In enemy team's hands)'' Vull thinks you are of a kind heart, let's take it out and see!\
44'''Cephalon Vull''': ''(Flag carrier gets a kill)'' What an excessive use of force; Vull is having fun!\
45'''Cephalon Vull''': ''(In the base)'' You're so cute! I wanna hug you until your organs rupture!\
46'''Cephalon Abnar''': ''(In the base)'' [[SarcasmMode This is not boring at all. Cephalon Abnar would like to stay immobilized here forever.]]\
47'''Cephalon Abnar''': ''(Flag stolen)'' Yes! Now fly! '''Acceleration!'''\
48'''Cephalon Abnar''': ''(Flag returned)'' Oh great, I'm back '''where I started.'''\
49'''Cephalon Abnar''': ''(In enemy team's hands)'' Cephalon Abnar has been accused of wanting to be captured? No comment.
50* When doing a Survival mission for Darvo -- meaning you as the player have shut off primary life support on the ship as part of a diversion for his [[BadassNormal other operative]] to steal stuff, but need to turn on auxiliary life support fields so the security crew don't kill you -- Darvo might say:
51-->'''Darvo''' "Deal time. [[HonestJohnsDealership You interested in some half-price life support?]] [[SubvertedTrope Hehe, just kidding]]. Here comes another!
52* During the otherwise rather serious Second Dream quest, when you find the operator, they slowly awaken, and sit up... only to slump forward and fall to the floor with a thud. Adding to the silliness is the fact that the second their feet hit the ground, your warframe ALSO falls over, with graphical static popping up on the screen, indicating that you hit the ground with enough force to briefly sever the connection to your warframe.
53* Ordis explaining Void Relics. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SjzgHoKxr8 He doesn't like Quantum Physics at all.]]
54* Even in the midst of the grimness and revelations that make up The War Within, there's room for a chuckle or two.
55-->'''Teshin:''' Beware the ravenous golden maw!\
56'''Operator:''' *wearily* Why does it have to be ''ravenous''?
57* As you traverse the Kuva Fortress, you may stumble upon video announcement from a Grineer Queen. Some of them quite amusing:
58-->'''Grineer Queen''': The collection of Kuva is very important. It is a crucial and... [[SurroundedByIdiots Ah, why do I bother.]] [[BadBoss Whippings are increased until further notice!]]
59* When the Javlok weapon was released, new idle animations were also made for each of the Warframes. Several of them were rather amusing:
60** Nidus's Noble animation has him holding the weapon with two hands, before lifting it into the air like a barbell. Even better is how he cracks his neck before doing so.
61** Mesa's Noble animation shows her silently laughing.
62** Saryn's Agile has her placing her hand on her "face", then shaking her head in visible annoyance.
63** Valkyr's Noble animation probably takes the cake, as it shows her doing a frontflip and landing in a crouched position, before appearing to ''lick the air''.
64** Limbo's Noble animation has him set the staff down as he rolls his hat down one arm, across his chest, and back on to his head, where it ''spins''.
65** Limbo's Agile animation has him spin the staff on its end, then clap down on it, making it disappear. After making where-is-it motions, it reappears in his hands, and he takes a dramatic bow.
66* Chains of Harrow: Investigating derelict craft on a {{Gorn}} tour of the solar system? [[NightmareFuel Horrifying.]] Finding out all the madness is caused by an outcast, probably autistic Tenno? [[TearJerker Depressing.]] Realizing the [[MacGuffin donda]] you're hunting for is basically a fidget spinner? Kind of funny actually.
67** Even funnier; Palladino repeatedly calls it an "object of focus" before you realize it's a toy [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Rell uses to help him focus on one thing enough to communicate]]. One gets the idea she's using PurpleProse to cover for him or herself out of embarrassment.
68* With the Kavor Defectors reintroduced in Defection missions, their dialogue lines can be overheard when you're nearby them, complete with subtitles. Some of them are honestly funny.
69-->"Tenno won't ''kill me?!"''\
70"Trust Tenno skoom? Hmm... no choice."\
71"Ruk's Manic assassin? [[OhCrap We are DEAD!]]"
72* In The War Within, Ordis tries to comfort the Operator with elevator muzak. After learning the entire Operator segment was a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind, one might realize the Red Queen was using it as a torture device.
73* While the repeated ones usually end up getting old, some of Ordis' quotes are almost always worth a chuckle, especially the ones where his mood swings end in a VerbalBackspace.
74-->''"Now get out there and '''CUT DOWN THE''' -- and make the Lotus proud."''\
75''"Excellent armaments, operator. Please return '''COVERED IN BLOOD''' -- safe and sound."''\
76''"Ordis will gladly assist the operator in '''CUTTING A BLOODY PATH''' -- in whatever mission they choose."''\
77''"Operator, you have foundry items ready. '''CLAIM THEM NOW'''-- at your earliest convenience."''\
78''"'''GUN, GUN, GUN!''' -- Hmm. Foundry has items for you, Operator."''\
79''"'''UNREAD INBOX MESSAGES MAKE ME ILL.'''"''\
80''"...Interesting... colour choices, Operator. My sensors are '''BLEEDING'''-- pleased!"''
81
82** And perhaps the best one of all:
83--->''"Everything in ''[[{{Pun}} Ordis]]'', operator? -- IS THAT A '''PUN?''' -- [[LamePunReaction Hmm. I will attempt to bypass this fault.]]"''
84* With the new Plains Of Eidolon update came spear fishing, which works by doing a small amount of damage to the fish by way of your spear. [[CherryTapping You can probably see where this is going.]]
85** [=PoE=] also came with a lot of bugs, but the funniest one happens when you enter Cetus in operator mode. Your warframe is stuck in a kneeling pose, but full motion is completely allowed.
86** The Gara Quest, coming with the Plains of Eidolon update. Two words: '''Vay'''. '''Hek'''. He's back, and '''every single line''' he has is basically him [[ChewingTheScenery chewing the entire tileset as if it was a delicious cake]] [[LargeHam and making porkchops fall from the sky for the sheer hamminess.]] While he had already fully established himself as a bombastic and over-the-top character, this may be just his best performance yet. Cherry on top, his "Did you think this would be so easy?" catchphrase also makes a comeback.
87---> (When the player runs into a Nox) ''SURPRISE, SURPRISE!! A gleaming '''[[CatchPhrase MAGGOT]]''' squirmed into my ship! WELL! Let's see you slip out of this one! [[EvilLaugh HaHaHa!]]''\
88(When the Nox is killed) ''[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]'' ''You pathetic! MEAT!'' '''''PILES! CAN'T YOU STOP ONE?! PUNY?! MAGGOT?! FROM SQUIRMING AWAY?! AAAARGH!!!'''''\
89(''Referring to the'' ''[[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Teralyst]]'' ''[[EldritchAbomination Eidolon]],'' ''and in uncharacteristic awe'') ''It's...beautiful. It's so beautiful.'' '''''[[SuddenlyShouting KILL IT]].'''''
90** While you're fishing, you might throw a spear at what you thought was a fish...only to find you caught a boot. If this happens, instead of hearing the beat of drums, a short banjo tune is played, almost as if to say "sucker."
91** Then there's Hok, who forges custom weapons for you, exacerbated by the fact he has a bad case of ThirdPersonPerson...
92--->'''Hok:''' ''"PEDLEK! Did your mother jump around whilst pregnant? Those are not pets! Those are carnivorous as ffffffff-"'' [tenno appears] ''"-ffaaaaar as I know! Hello there! How may Hok serve?"''\
93...\
94'''Hok:''' ''"I am a bright star surrounded by an accretion disk of cretins and ding-dongs!"''\
95'''Hok:''' ''"No, Pedlek, I will '''not''' be attending your poetry recital. Hok would rather get a plate in his head and collect'' magnets. ''How may I serve?''\
96'''Hok:''' ''Today's special is a thing of such beauty that I had to slap Pedlek for looking at it indecently!''
97** While Hok gets plenty of funny lines (most often disparaging about his assistant, Pedlek, who can be seen slacking off next to him), Fisher Hai-Luk does get a few good bits in.
98--->'''Hai-Luk:''' ''"Hello! It is my aim to ensure you fully enjoy your time on the water, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial which is absolutely]]'' [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial not]] ''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial filled with unknowable horror!]]''"\
99'''Hai-Luk:''' ''[=*gasps*=] "This one will feed the whole family'' and ''the cousins, too!''"\
100'''Hai-Luk:''' ''"That... that smell, is quite something... isn't it?"''\
101'''Hai-Luk:''' ''"[[DeadpanSnarker Hmph. I should have been a plumber.]]"''
102** Occasionally, if you exit the Plains of Eidolon as Zephyr by using her air dash ability just before hitting the ability negation field, you'll discover [[https://imgur.com/r/Warframe/3rOKAwK why Zephyr is the champion of planking]].
103* While it's tragic, the sheer MoodWhiplash of the [[WhamEpisode Apostasy Prologue]] is worth a chuckle in hindsight. As Doctor Fluffy [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/sb-warframe-megathread-2-0-connor-is-in-control-here-too-for-now.420767/page-797#post-43579063 described it]] on spacebattles:
104-->"Oh boy! We can customize our own rooms! I'm going to have a display of my favorite frame, and go customize my fish tank, and plaster the walls with stuff and OH SNAP SON, WHERE ARE YOU MOM WHAT IS GOING ON"
105* As noted, Apostasy Prologue is heart-wrenching MoodWhiplash... but after completing ''The Sacrifice'' a player can make it worse with one simple step: ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice equip Excalibur Umbra]]'' and replay Apostasy Prologue. The tortured, murderously obsessed frame will chill in the background, idly watching as his arch-nemesis appears and kidnaps the Lotus, without doing as much as lifting a finger.
106* In a sense, Excalibur Umbra's passive is both funny and heartwarming. When you go into operator mode, Excalibur Umbra would follow you everywhere, even in points where the operator is required to go alone. Considering Excalibur Umbra's past and memories, he acts very much like an overprotective parent who wants to [[PapaWolf protect his child]] no matter where they go.
107* Peculiar Bloom, a firearm mod that (purposefully) ''does absolutely nothing'' other than spawn cosmetic flower model on enemies each time you inflict critical hits, had to be ''nerfed''. The reason? [[https://youtu.be/aWxQqmtR5jo This]].
108* The fact that Eudico wears a ''Guy Fawkes mask'' decked out to look like Nef Anyo when making transmissions as Vox Solaris.
109** From the same mission, an irate The Business calls out Eudico for thinking she can appease Nef Anyo after he demands fifty Solaris to be effectively executed while their brains are put in suspended-animation hell, except that he stops short with obvious, hilarious confusion when he realizes that he's missing an extremely important item.
110--->'''The Business:''' Eudico, you can't seriously be thinking of going through with this! [[FiveSecondForeshadowing Wait, where's my K-Bomb...?]]
111** Nef Anyo's complete inability to understand the ramifications of his decision is capped with a comically clueless "Wait, where are you all going?" when the bottom finally falls out on him.
112** Also if you wait around Fortuna, you can listen to the loud speaker sell seed faith, pay advances, and a message thanking some Solaris for their mandatory toxic waste cleanup duty... and then offering them a 2% rebate on new lungs. Less funny if you listen to one of the Solaris talk about how he's still trying to pay off his grandpa's lungs.
113* Fortuna also has spear fishing, and just like the Plains, you can end up [[FishingForSole catching a Corpus Boot.]] The game will then play a silly electronica tune that sounds like it came straight out of an 8-bit game.
114* [[BloodMagic Gar]][[NightmareFuel uda]] has an ability where she [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice causes massive spikes to jut up from the ground, impale an enemy]] and then [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank uses their blood to heal herself and her teammates]]. The kicker? Sometimes this doesn't kill them, resulting in them standing up, and [[NoSell dusting off having a spike driven through their chest, and being juiced of all their precious fluids.]]
115* As you progress through the game, you may start to see Stalker as TheDitz instead of the scary ImplacableMan which he should have been. First, you discover his RevengeBeforeReason pattern as he tries to punish you even for stopping (another) ZombieApocalypse, probably concluding with InsaneTrollLogic that everything that Tenno do is evil. Then you may notice that he cannot jump, being a CyberNinja like players, because instead of giving chase, he teleports escaping victims to his location. Then Stalker shows stupid amounts of determination, desperately trying to kill you even when it can result only in him getting [[CurbStompBattle curbstomped]]. And, at last, the poor thing hunts for warframes even after discovering the true nature of the Tenno being their AchillesHeel. Also, this can be justified if the Stalker is a rogue insane warframe without an operator, like Excalibur Umbra used to be.
116** Stalker does not enact revenge for Sentients despite actually allying with them during The Second Dream. Had we punched him enough to make him smarter, or it is yet another case of his InsaneTrollLogic?
117* It's entirely possible for a bug to cause the Exploiter orb to be no higher than your waist during the fight with it.
118* Grendel's 3rd ability ''Pulverize'' has him curl up into a ball and roll into things to kill them. Additionally, for every enemy he's eaten he gets ''bigger'' in his so called "meatball mode" and upon reaching maximum acceleration you begin hearing speed sounds as you go, almost like Grendel's imagining these sounds in his head in order to play along with his BestFriend [[SuperSpeed Gauss.]]
119* Disruption missions, in addition to being considered [[BestLevelEver the most fun endless mission type period]], are quite a hoot thanks in no small part to its two "hosts" Alad V and Little Duck.
120** Going to Alad's base of operations on Jupiter and playing Disruption there has you become ''quality assurance testers'' for his conduits, which are effectively [[ComplexityAddiction glorified, padlocked, shipping containers that by design ping a designated highly armored, Warframe power nullifying, suicide bomber to verify that the product is being secured by an authorized user (as in not you), and in the event that it isn't obliterate themselves and the product.]] Not to mention Ordis has you tapped into his comms so you get to hear every little bit of Alad's taunting and weaseling as you test his "product."
121--->'''Alad V:''' Oh no! You've caught me! Me and my little partnership! [[LampshadeHanging Where's that Lotus when you need her?]] Now, sniff-sniff, Betrayers. See if you can find the cheese.
122--->'''Alad V when a conduit is destroyed:''' This week on Nightwave: Tenno lose big, give up on life! Details at the next cycle.
123** Any other Disruption missions are, well, disruptions organized by Little Duck to intercept outgoing conduits. For whatever reason all conduits going out to Uranus are summarily intercepted and then defended by the Infested. LD's response?
124--->'''Little Duck:''' Well, looks like the Infested snagged this one. I haven't seen this many zits since puberty.
125*** After the first round on any LD disruptions she'll grouse at you not to leave considering you just got there. Sometimes she'll complain that she bribed Maroo with a small fortune of rations for the tip off, which becomes amusing when you remember that as a Solaris, her mouth is effectively located where a normal person's stomach would be.
126* Baro Ki'Teer delivers not only special goods, but also lot of fun, aside from "Cryotic Front" which is described in event section below:
127** At some point Baro started to sell just his image as various "Ki'Teer" trinkets, probably realizing that the Tenno are huge fans of him.
128** There were a couple of coincidences when Corpus assaulted a relay where Baro landed. Players decided that it was Nef Anyo trying to punish Baro for selling Void treasures to Tenno or just [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking not paying taxes]].
129** '''Step one:''' make Tenno sell their prime parts for ducates which can be used only to buy something from you. '''Step two:''' Pack these parts in Void relics. '''Step three:''' sell the relics to Tenno for ducates and also credits. '''Step four:''' use Tenno to defend against aforementioned Nef who's just jealous of your cunning.
130** Baro has a great deal of reverence for Inaros, even more for Inaros Prime... including inviting the Primed version to help him in one of his void missions. That's not that funny. What ''is'' is how he acts when you come to buy the token for the mission.
131---> "Great Inaros! (whispering) ''My shelves grow bare. Can we... you know... the usual?"''
132** The Void Mission itself has some laughs, as Baro proves to be a total ham.
133---> (Half-health): [[SkewedPriorities "Inaros, I'm hurt! These thieves are ruining my garments!"]] / "I fear that I am defending my dignity at the cost of my health!"
134---> (Quarter-health): "I am grievously wounded! How boring!" / "I fear I shall not be with you much longer God King!"
135---> (Defeat): "I must withdraw! Forgive me God King!" / "Ahhh, that our glorious adventure should meet such a noble end!"
136---> (Victory): "We are once again triumphant! God-King Inaros and his best friend Baro! Away!"
137* An update introduced Kuva Liches, who provide a procedurally generated nemesis for the players. In addition to some of the generated names being hilarious, liches have a chance to generate with the "Jovial" personality, which combines ''Warframe'''s [[LargeHam trademark overacting]] with a FriendlyEnemy to produce a lot of genuinely funny lines:
138-->'''Lich:''' ''(When logging in)'' [[YouAreAlreadyDead You are DEAD already!]] I know it! the system knows it! My ''fifteen friends'' who are betting on it know it!\
139'''Lich:''' ''(When viewing a lich-controlled planet)'' '''Mine!''' Sector's a dump, but it's my dump!\
140'''Lich:''' ''(When viewing their profile)'' You know, as you were hacking my limbs off, I thought to myself... I ''really'' don't like this person!\
141'''Lich:''' ''(When viewing their profile)'' Do you have any idea what it takes to reattach severed limbs? You will!\
142'''Lich:''' ''(In combat)'' You can't kill me if you keep hitting me in the parts I've had replaced!\
143'''Lich:''' ''(In combat)'' I think they're scared. Comrades, are they scared? I think they're scared!\
144'''Lich:''' ''(When leveling up)'' Smarter... faster... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking cuter]]. You behold the Queens' Number One Son!\
145'''Lich:''' ''(When [[DefeatMeansFriendship converting a defeated lich]])'' A wise choice, maggot! I mean... friend?
146* During the Deadlock Protocol quest, Nef Anyo finally meets Parvos Granum, the founder of the Corpus, and asks him to honor all of Anyo's accomplishments. Instead, Parvos tears into Nef Anyo with scathing remarks on modern Corpus practices, resulting in the following exchange:
147--> '''Parvos:''' 'My name'... [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech I have watched you. Monuments to narcissism. Demanding others sweat in your stead. Gorging upon that which you have not earned. Watched... as you claimed for yourself my teachings of self-reliance, perverting them into a flaccid philosophy of sloth. Of... Idleness. Is that you, my son?]]
148--> '''Nef Anyo:''' (chastised) [[BlatantLies ...No, that must be a different son]].
149* The Helminth added to your Orbiter in the Heart of Deimos update is...[[UglyCute actually kinda adorable for being an Infested lifeform.]] When you feed it a resource it deems its favorite, he just smiles like a puppy, and it even has some interactions with your companions, which involve Carrion Drones flying around in its mouth and Kavats jumping into its mouth only for the big guy to spit them out.
150* While some animation sets for Warframes can be hilarious, Gauss's Noble animation when he has throwing secondaries out (Kunai, Hikou, Staticor, etc.) takes the cake with him running in place before stopping, looking to his side awkwardly before starting again.
151* Cephalon Cy is a veritable ''gold mine'' of funny dialogue, due in part to his completely deadpan delivery contrasted with his professionalism.
152--> '''Cy:''' Visitors, your short lives are about to become crap dipped in misery.
153--> '''Cy:''' A Grineer commander is using this asteroid base to broadcast propaganda. You could eat a dictionary and crap more sense than he makes.
154--> '''Cy:''' Asteroid base. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Its commander is a known war criminal, lives on Vobi butter, and smells like a blown up men's room.]] Take him out. Leave an air freshener.
155--> '''Cy:''' I am glad you are back. Cephalon Ordis certainly has many, ''many'' ...opinions.
156--> '''Cy:''' (''while depressurising from a hull breach'') Not to nag, but in short order everything that is inside this ship, will be ''outside'' this ship.
157* Most of the Parazon finisher animations are very grandiose and admittedly pretty cool, but special mention has to go to the frontal MOA finisher, which consists of roundhouse kicking the poor thing in the face and then simultaneously stiff-arming the Parazon into its head while performing a football juke. What makes it even better is how abrupt the whole animation is as if the developers accidentally carried a zero and made it faster than it should be.
158* The majority of ''The New War'' is a horrific scenario where TheBadGuyWins and turns the origin system into a total dystopia. But one of the few golden moments of levity is the operator meeting their alternate timeline self, the drifter, and being absolutely baffled. Even the drifter's explanation just leaves them holding their head in their hands with an expression that just ''screams'' being 100% done with the nonsense of the void.
159** One moment that's also complete ''gold'' is when the Drifter goes to talk to Hunhow. After a sequence in which you have to fight through Veiled Grineer basically sent to their deaths, with the Stalker shadowing you the whole way, the lights go out. The Drifter finds themselves face to face with Hunhow, Stalker's scythe at their throat... and after some tense negotiations, the Drifter asks for ''Hunhow'''s help. The ''Stalker'' does what can only be described as a headsnap DoubleTake that reads as "what the '''''fuck'''''???"
160** Another moment comes when the Drifter runs into an Archon early into the quest. Ordis does an IWarnedYou, and the Drifter, who is currently ''running for their life,'' is not having any of it.
161---> '''Ordis:''' I told you! I told you! An Archon!
162---> '''Drifter:''' Call the ship, smartass!
163* While it comes at the end of an incredibly high-stakes showdown with Ballas and Erra, the Man In The Wall's brief appearance at the end of ''The New War''. It essentially amounts to him showing up with a massive shit-eating grin on his face, reciting some vague and ominous poetry, and then promptly leaving as quickly as he came. Not only is this essentially [[CharacterExaggeration a nigh-perfect distillation of his character up til now]], the fact that he manages to still come across as a massive troll despite being a freaky eldritch statue is deserving of kudos on DE's part.
164** Also, look at the statue itself: A Vitruvian-Manlike figure with a colossal shit-eating grin... embedded into a stone wall. The Man in the Wall is ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin literally a man in a wall]]''[[note]]assuming this is his true form, and not the usual trolling[[/note]].
165* After you regain your Warframes and Void abilities, you inspect the now restored orbiter. Ordis is not pleased to find out that the Helminth is still there.
166** Speaking of regaining your Warframes, getting back into your 'frame is slightly different depending on if you brought the Operator or Drifter. The Operator nonchalantly performs a few flexes and stretches, as if to say "it's good to be back". Drifter on the other hand, having never piloted a Warframe before, figures that it [[TemptingFate "can't be harder than riding a horse"]]... before stumbling and nearly tripping over themself on transferring in.
167* When doing an Exterminate bounty against the Corpus on the Zariman, Cavalero will sometimes refer to the enemies as "Granum clowns" (a {{pun}} on the Granum Crowns they use as currency).
168* Veilbreaker sees the long awaited return of Kahl. What people might not have seen coming? [[UnexpectedCharacter Daughter Entrati]] is his mission control. Three quarters of everything they say to each other is utterly hilarious.
169** Between missions it's possible to activate Kahl's comlink in the drifter camp to trigger even more dialogue between them. Many of these are actually quite serious discussions between Kahl and Daughter; on one occasion though...
170---> '''Kahl:''' [[SuddenlyShouting Emergency! Camp under attack! Worm Condrix sighted! Send assistance! Emergency!]]
171---> '''Daughter:''' Kahl?! Kahl, [[CurseCutShort what the f-]]
172--->'''Kahl:''' Test done. Emergency channel work fine. Brothers, stand down.
173--->'''Daughter:''' We... are going to have words about this.
174* During Archon Hunts Pazuul will periodically intercept your comms to taunt you with Erra's sacrifice and Narmer's delusions. That's not funny. What is funny is Pazuul's childish growling, pouting and whining when you disrupt his operations.
175--> '''Lotus:''' Objective completed, well done.
176--> '''Pazuul:''' ''(in a clearly very upset and "trying to play it cool" mocking tone)'' Objective completed, well done. ''(scoffs)''
177* Some of Voruna's {{Idle Animation}}s when in her Noble stance:
178** When holding a rifle, one of the wolf heads on her shoulders will fly off and start fighting with the one on her other shoulder. She then gives a disapproving look and whistles at them to settle down.
179** With a pistol, she'll play fetch with the wolf head... by ''throwing her gun into the air''.
180* Some of Voruna's {{Idle Animation}}s when in her Noble stance:
181** When holding a rifle, one of the wolf heads on her shoulders will fly off and start fighting with the one on her other shoulder. She then gives a disapproving look and whistles at them to settle down.
182** With a pistol, she'll play fetch with the wolf head... by ''throwing her gun into the air''.
183* At the start of The Duviri Paradox, the endless timeloop of the Drifter's execution is very suddenly derailed by the arrival of the Lotus's hand, leaving everyone baffled. Lodun even hastily tries to pass it off as part of the sentence, in a tone that makes it obvious he has ''no idea'' what is going on.
184-->'''Lodun:''' Ah, even better! Death by... uh... Meteor!
185* ''The Seven Crimes of Kullervo'' brings back Corrupted Vor as a ''mandatory encounter'' in every Exterminate instance in the Undercroft. And he's got ''a brand new speech'', except this time ''you can shut him up'' by killing him. Funnily enough, many in the playerbase considers this a ''bug'' rather than a ''feature''.
186** Even more amusingly, killing him ''too quickly'' will have him rattle out his whole speech, uninterrupted and now uninterruptable. Ah, just like old times.
187* One possible objective in Duviri is to herd up [[CallARabbitASmeerp Tamms]] for whichever Orowyrm’s cycle it is, [[MoodWhiplash a massive contrast to everything else they ask you to do]]. While [[StepfordSmiler Mathila]] and [[TheEeyore Luscinia]] at least have good excuses for it (the former owns a farm and guesses her son accidentally left them out and the latter believes they’re sad), the last three… don’t. [[NervousWreck Sythel]] believes they’re plotting against her, [[HairTriggerTemper Lodun]] is pissed at them being all over the place, and [[GreenEyedMonster Bombastine]] wants you [[EvilIsPetty to steal them for him]].
188--> '''Lodun:''' Beasts left to roam at will, eating and [[PrecisionFStrike shitting]] wherever they like!
189* Ordis got several new voice lines in the Abyss of Dagath update, including several jokes.
190** A few Idle lines:
191--> "Operator, Ordis is sorry (voice glitches)- '''happy'''- - (voice returns to normal) to report that all my good jokes Argon."
192--> "When in Cetus, do ''not'' drink the Kibuchi. (voice glitches) '''You are incapable of producing the hydraulic effort required to unstick your tongue from the roof of your mouth the following morning'''."
193--> "Operator, the Sentients are not laughing at my jokes! Did they adapt to my humor?"
194--> "Operator, Ordis is picking up a distress signal... Wait, no, it's just the Corpus peddling their wares again. '''Get off the emergency frequency!'''"
195--> ""Operator, Ordis has determined the secret to happiness: '''A combination of heightened dopamine levels and a terrible memory.''' You're welcome!""
196** Changing a Warframe's colors:
197--> "Operator, the system is not ready for style of this magnitude."
198** Changind mods on equipment:
199--> ""Ready to kick '''BOTTOM'''."
200* Corpus dropships. Commonly found in defense missions, these ships usually tly a full lap around the perimeter dropping enemy units to join the fray. For whatever reason, despite the ships themselves being invincible, they fail to protect the passengers inside. Preemptively shooting a dropship with weapons with punch-through or explosive rounds will not only hit and kill the enemy units inside, but causes the ship to automatically drop the corpses the moment their HP hits zero. An attentive player with some heavy duty firepower can just deflate their presence the moment they spawn in by causing them to simply drop their already-dead payload, but will still fly around as if nothing happened before leaving.
201
202!Events
203* In the Cryotic Front, the Tenno have been extracting reams of the crucial cryotic resource for their mysterious employer, all the while fighting huge legions of enemies to acquire it. What makes the cryotic so incredibly valuable? The employer needs it to preserve a species of Martian jellyfish that is a delicacy but spoils easily during transport.
204* Darvo's various offers for weapons combine his skills as a salesman with his flippant anger and annoyance at his fellow Corpus.
205-->'''Darvo''': So Tenno, word has it you've been working with a certain Baro Ki'Teer? What? The name doesn't ring a bell? He had you searching all over for Cryotic. I guess maybe he wouldn't tell you his name -- he does that. He thinks it makes him seem mysterious -- it doesn't. Plenty of people know his name. Either way, I hope he lived up to his end of the bargain. Not everyone is as trustworthy as your friend Darvo.\
206Wait, did someone say bargain? I did!\
207Here we go. For one day only, the Atterax is half price. Use this bladed motorized whip to give the Grineer a taste of their own medicine. [[MundaneUtility Or, if you're like me, you might find it handy for snaking out the plumbing in your ship. It's up to you.]]
208-->'''Darvo''': Tenno, I guess I was curious, [[Fiction500 I paid Baro Ki'Teer a crate full of Prime Blueprints and two Argon Crystals]] just so I could sample his so called "delicacy". Those Oasis Jellyfish caused my throat to swell up for three days. Damn near killed me. What a rip-off.\
209But you know what's not a rip-off? My new bundle. Here's what you get: the Hydroid Warframe, Nami Skyla Blades, Triton Helmet, Para Carrier Sentinel and all its fancy parts. Hell, I'll even throw in Credit and Affinity boosters, just because.
210-->'''Darvo''': Oh and let me guess, Baro Ki'Teer wouldn't even show you his face, figures. He thinks he's too good for you and me with his swanky clothes and exotic foods that taste like mud. Well you know what Tenno, when you buy from him that's what you're paying for. When you buy from Darvo, you get nothing but deals.\
211Allow me to provide a simple illustration. Today only, at 50% off I'm offering you the Amprex Electricity Rifle. 10,000 volts of shut your elitist face. I never wanted to go to his stupid party anyway.
212* During the Tubemen of Regor event, choosing to fight for Nef Anyo and killing the Manic Bombard made Tyl Regor drop this gem.
213-->'''Tyl Regor''': Preacher, preacher... this your idea? ''(huffs, then imitates Nef Anyo's tone)'' "Giiive unto the Voooooid!" How about I scalpel off your little danglers and give ''them'' unto the Void, hm? What do you think about ''that'' idea, ''NEFFY''?!
214** Also funny on a meta level when you learn that Tyl Regor and Nef Anyo have the [[ActingForTwo same voice actor]].
215* Folks at DE are definitely having fun with ''Hallowed Nightmares'' Halloween 2015 tactical alert. You are tasked with a level 1-5 Infested Sabotage mission in some really foggy forest on Earth, without any prior indication whatsoever that you'll be dropping in with nothing but your bare fists. [[OhCrap SURPRISE JUGGERNAUT!!1]] Lotus' message when you completed the mission tops it all off.
216-->'''Lotus''': We lost contact for a moment... [[AllJustADream were you sleeping? Nightmares?]] Perhaps this (Orokin Catalyst Blueprint) will help you overcome your fear.
217* Those who linked their Warframe account to Twitch Prime got a free Frost Prime frame, a decorative scarf-equivalent Prime syandana, a Soma Prime rifle, and Scindo Prime axe. You're notified that the items are redeemable by an in-game mail... from [[HonestJohnsDealership Darvo]] again. Once more, he does not disappoint.
218--> '''I Found Some Crazy Stuff'''
219--> ''[Player], You'll never believe this. I found the most peculiar Void Rift. The signals I'm getting from this thing are just unexplainable, it's like they aren't even from this system. But that's not even the crazy part...''
220--> ''I scanned a freaking FROST PRIME WARFRAME and a PRIME SYANDANA. Just sitting there waiting to be taken. FOR FREE.''
221--> ''I tried to pilot my ship into the Rift but there's some sort of '[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall fourth-dimensional wall]]' that's blocking my passage. I can't go in, but you're special. Maybe you can retrieve those sweet, sweet Prime items.''
222--> ''Your friend, Darvo''\
223''[Player], Lightning has struck twice! That's right. I've found another strange Void Rift.''
224--> ''Where it leads, I have no idea. What's inside? I'm detecting a SOMA PRIME and a SCINDO PRIME. Just waiting for a Tenno to snatch them up, FOR FREE.''
225--> ''Try as I might, I cannot break this '[[RunningGag fourth-dimensional-wall]]' and take the items for myself. So it's up to you, Tenno. Find more info in your ship's market.''
226--> ''Your jealous friend, Darvo''
227* Some worthy mentions from the "Plague Star" event:
228** Konzu doing a mocking Vay Hek impersonation in one of his transmissions. Konzu also lands an amusingly succint (and of course, very insulting) summary of Vay Hek as a person.
229---> ''Vay Hek! A two-bit despot with a mind half an inch wide, and a face like a rejected skin graft. Konzu would like you to make his life miserable! ...Well. More miserable.''
230** Vay Hek referring to your efforts to destroy the gigantic infested boil-like meteoroid that crashed on the plains as "[[LargeHam trying to POP its GLISTENING MAGNIFICENCE]]".
231* Vay Hek continues to deliver hilarious levels of ham in the Ghoul Purge event.
232--> ''I love that new ghoul smell. FRESH FROM THE BAG!!''
233--> ''My favorite ghoul is... the one that RIPS YOUR MAGGOT HEAD OFF!!''
234-->''Come out, come out, come out! Meet your new.... friends. IT'S '''[[{{Pun}} SLAYTIME]]'''!!''
235* On June 2018, Free Prime with Twitch Prime allowed players who linked their Warframe accounts to their Twitch Prime accounts to claim a Trinity Prime frame and a Spektaka Prime Syandana for free. Once again, the in-game mail from [[HonestJohnsDealership Darvo]] does not disappoint.
236-->'''Prime Irony'''
237-->''Do you know what irony is, [Player]?''
238-->''What about finding yet another magical Void Rift, filled with even more amazing PRIME ITEMS, all of which are out of my reach? Is that freaking irony, Tenno? Sure feels like it.''
239-->''Know what’s in there this time, Tenno? A freaking TRINITY PRIME WARFRAME and a SPEKTAKA PRIME SYANDANA!''
240-->''As usual, some mysterious force is stopping me from claiming them myself. So why don’t you wander across the fold and pick up that FREE STUFF, just like you did last time?''
241-->''Your loyal (and totally not bitter) friend,''
242-->''Darvo''
243* The Pyrus Project of September 2018 involves rebuilding the destroyed Strata Relay around Earth. It's hosted by the Steel Meridian, who will happily thank you for your contributions. Even if you're hated by them. It won't stop them from sending assassination squads after you in the same mission where they ask you to take out a Pyrus Carrier.
244* October 2018 saw another Free Prime with Twitch Prime, allowing linked players to obtain Vectis Prime, Fang Prime and a Spektaka Prime Sugatra for free. You best bet Darvo had another hilarious in-game message for it.
245-->'''More Prime Items Beyond the Void'''
246-->''[Player]''
247-->''After the last time I missed out on a cache of amazing, totally free, Prime items, I was a bit miffed. I mean, why can't I pass through that Void Rift? Why do I have to sit on the sidelines while some fancy Tenno dances across the rift and comes back with all this shiny stuff that should have been Darvo's in the first place? I thought, there must be a way.''
248-->''So, I loaded Clem into a Grineer assault pod [[BlatantLies (it was his idea, I swear)]] and launched him at terminal speeds towards the rift. Undoubtedly he could break through, right? Nope. He bounced.''
249-->''I have come to the conclusion that these items were not meant for mere mortals.''
250-->''There's a VECTIS PRIME, FANG PRIME and SPEKTAKA PRIME SUGATRA hiding in there. Go get 'em, Tenno!''
251-->''Your pal,''
252-->''Darvo''
253-->''P.S. Clem's fine.''
254* August 2nd, 2019 saw the introduction of the "Dog Days" Tactical Alert. Kela De Thaym contacts the Tenno, declaring another [[TrialByCombat Rathuum]], and that this time the weapons used will be acid sprayers... until she fumbles her words, gets sidetracked, yells about a gas leak, and rambles that, since it's a nice day out, it's time for a ''water'' fight. Cue your warframe, upon loading into the map, suddenly wearing an inflatable inner tube around their waist and armed with a pump-action squirt gun for blasting her Executioners. And you ''do'' need to reload and pump the gun to maintain pressure if you want to hit anything at any distance. She also turns out to be a surprisingly ''[[InVinoVeritas pleasant]]'' person when high as a kite - to the point where she hands over the Tactical Alert rewards with only a minor amount of griping that her team couldn't win, and warns you that the personality change won't stick when the repairs are done.
255--> '''Kela De Thaym''': I guess I gotta hand it to ya. You really hosed my crew. Well done, I guess. But jus' remember: they're gonna fix this gas leak at some point and when they do... WHEN THEY DO... it's back to business, buddy. NO MORE MRS NICE ME. Carry on.
256** A later iteration of the "Dog Days" event gave players a chance to win the floatie as a cosmetic item. It's a universally visible item, and ''extremely'' funy when a huge burly frame like Rhino or Atlas is wearing it.
257** The devs also added "splash grenades" to the event to liven things up. It's just a big pile of water balloons which can soak multiple enemies in one throw. Now the only thing missing is the option to beat a Grineer Executioner senseless with a pool noodle.
258* December 4th, 2019 saw another Twitch Prime promotion, allowing players to get Ember with a free Warframe slot, a new Orbiter interior, and a Filigree Prime Decoration. Once again, Darvo had a message.
259-->'''Valuable Items are Waiting'''
260-->''[Player],''
261-->''I know, I know, it's been a while since our last score, but I found another Void Rift. Full of valuable items, but unreachable by legitimate businessmen like myself. This time, it's EMBER.. and what.. a new interior for your Orbiter? That place will look pretty snazzy with a FILIGREE PRIME DECORATION, don't you think?''
262-->''At this point, [[BlatantLies I'm not even bitter]] that you get to pick these up for free; just make sure you think of Darvo when you've got some Credits burning a hole in your Warframe.''
263-->''Your old pal,''
264-->''Darvo''
265* February 18, 2020 saw another Twitch Prime promotion, adding a Static Reactor Prime Sigil to the free Ember and the Filigree Prime Decoration. Once again, Darvo delivers.
266-->'''Valuables Detected in Void'''
267-->''[Player],''
268-->''More Void Rifts mean more prime items for you and another headache for Darvo. I'm detecting a STATIC REACTOR PRIME SIGIL that will make your Warframe sizzle like a storm cloud! Grab that beauty quick, so I'm not reminded I can't sell it.''
269-->''Not to mention, I'm still picking up traces of EMBER and the FILIGREE PRIME DECORATION in the Void so don't forget to retrieve them.''
270-->''Just remember how this works. I scratch your back.... You shop at my store. Got it?''
271-->''Your old pal,''
272-->''Darvo''
273* As much as Operation Scarlet Spear can [[NightmareFuel invoke a sense of dread]] over the then-kickstarted New War, there's still a small comedic relief to be had in the shadow of the Sentient invasion.
274** Little Duck doesn't have the highest of opinions on Teshin after he ignored her warnings about circulating Sentient artifacts throughout the markets of the Origin System.
275--->'''Little Duck''': "[[IgnoredExpert Back then old mate Teshin wasn't havin' it. Tried warnin' him, but... you know the type.]] But now? Oh, NOW it's all 'tell me all that you know' and 'your expertise is required' and 'I'm a hoity-toity sod with a hat like a designer bedpan.' Shoulda kept me trap shut."
276** Standing around in the flotillas will net you some overheard lines from Little Duck as she gets in touch with whoever she can, presumably to direct more Tenno to help the Operation. One of her contacts happens to be from Cetus...
277--->'''Little Duck''': "Konzu! ''Hey! Konzu!'' Mate, you better get some of your talent over here or [[AscendedMeme lunch is gonna be the least of your problems!]] Little Duck, out!"
278** As your squad fights their way through the Sentients, you'll find yourself also barreling through crowds of Grineer led by Sargas Ruk, who... [[WeAreStrugglingTogether doesn't have the best of judgement]] when it comes to seeing who the bigger threat is.
279--->'''Sargas Ruk''': Tenno... we should set aside our differences [[EnemyMine and work together...]] '''[[HahahaNo HAHAHAHA! NEVER!]]'''
280** The Grineer's refusal to cooperate understandably proves to get under Little Duck's skin.
281--->'''Little Duck''': "'''''Grineer.''''' Sargas! ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis We. Are. Trying. To. HELP. YOU.]]'' ...Pillock."
282* May 12, 2020 -- new Twitch Prime promo, same old Darvo.
283--> ''Prime Armor detected in the Void''
284--> ''[Player],''
285-->''This is really getting out of hand, Tenno. I found an AVIA PRIME ARMOR SET floating in the Void! Now, believe me, [[BlatantLies I love that you are getting these items for free.]] You just never return the favor! Your dear friend Darvo is jealous.''
286--> ''Ease my suffering. Come see me soon, Okay?''
287--> - ''Darvo''
288--> ''P.S. Still picking up traces of EMBER and a FILIGREE PRIME DECORATION out there, too. If you are going after the armor, might as well grab them all in one fell swoop. See? I've always got your best interest at heart, Tenno.''
289* August 1, 2020, another Twitch Prime promo, though Darvo's... less than enthused about this one.
290--> ''This Apis Syandana is all yours!''
291--> ''[Player],''
292--> ''It's your old pal Darvo, back again. While looking into some strange transmissions, we picked up this disgus-- I mean, delightful cluster of what looks like fused gear and organics. Clem and I know better than to mess with some angry, throbbing biomass. We leave that to our talented Tenno friend!''
293--> ''Ok, ok, I'll be honest. It's gross and starting to wriggle. I would prefer it as far away from me as possible. If you want it, great, otherwise the APSIS SYANDANA, 7-DAY RESOURCE BOOSTER and 7-DAY RESOURCE DROP CHANCE BOOSTER are going in the nearest incinerator. Just to be safe.''
294--> ''Either way, I know when I'm out of my depth. Can you handle this?''
295--> ''Your friend,''
296--> ''Darvo''
297* At the end of Nightwave Series 3, Nihil the Glassmaker is finally sealed away in a oubliette. Nora comments that Nihil is now "bottled up like a rich lady's bathwater" or "a two-credit hooch", [[PayEvilUntoEvil and then encourages the player to do whatever they please with him after all of the trouble he caused.]] And she means literally anything!
298-->'''Nora Night:''' Prop a door open, bury him twenty feet deep. Either way, he's yours. It's up to you to make sure he never gets loose again.
299** What makes this even funnier is that you can interact with Nihil by tapping on his oubliette wherever you placed it. This can range from him making threats that he will one day escape to humming to himself and annoyedly asking if you need his help with something.
300* The Prime Resurgence event saw the arrival of Varzia Dax, who despite being a Dax proves to be a bundle of comedy in her own right.
301** [[LoveableSexManiac Varzia alone makes up for the complete lack of presence sex has in the game]] - half her lines have her showing an, ahem, ''appreciation'' for Teshin and Maroo.
302** Varzia's thoughts on the Tenno wiping out the Orokin?
303--->'''Varzia''': I'm glad they're gone ''and I hope it hurt.''
304** If you're using Revenant's Agile Animation set and personally visit Varzia in Maroo's Bazaar, the position the game snaps you to puts you in [[ThanksForTheMammaries a rather...]] [[https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Frytcen3hm2081.jpg unique spot.]]
305* During Operation Gargoyle’s Cry, you are tasked by Fibonacci to add a large Jahu Gargoyle to your Dojo. And he does mention he can see into the dojos, with him occasionally talking smack about your dojo or giving a StealthInsult, including a hilarious PrecisionFStrike thanks to his reedy old-man voice.
306-->'''Fibonacci:''' Decluttering; ever heard of it?\
307'''Fibonacci:''' Who picked out the color scheme, and are they wanted for any additional offenses?\
308'''Fibonacci:''' One hears stories of demented architects. One does not expect to admire their work first-hand.\
309'''Fibonacci:''' My humble tank is a ''palace'' compared to some Dojos I've seen. Real ''shit holes''.
310
311!Devstream/ Official media
312* As intimidating Hek's interruption during the developer livestream was, his comment about throwing "Your beloved Lotus into the sun" is so [[{{Narm}} silly that it becomes hilarious]]. It also becomes HilariousInHindsight at the end of ''The New War'', where the final showdown with Ballas takes place near Sol. If only Ballas had taken Hek's advice, he might have come out on top after all.
313* A good chunk of the alerts DE posts in the chat to tell players updates or hotfixes are coming (lovingly referred to as "redtext" by fans because of their red color) are filled with hilarity.
314* The Corpus accepting the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhnQD2tTqGA Ice Bucket Challenge.]]
315* You think '''you've''' had a bad day at work? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u-cNKqnGD8 Watch what happens to these guys!]]
316* Alad V's Infestation update gives off [[HilariousInHindsight a vibe when you are crossing over]] with VideoGame/TeamFortress2. When this update came, so did the Expiration Date for ''Team Fortress 2''.
317--> '''[[MemeticMutation Alad V]]:''' "I have done nothing but infest bread for three days."
318* During ''Operation Eyes of Blight'' event, majority of the players decided to let Strata Relay (at Earth) gets blown up, either in protest of how DE handled the event poorly (YMMV here), or just to see [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lL9cTehhdY how it was like]].
319* Anytime [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPUghHx9LIg Darvo Deals.]]
320-->'''Darvo''': My competition would be upset if they knew I was selling this stock so cheap. Come to think of it, they would be upset to know I was selling this stock at all. ....They're probably still looking for it.
321* In ''[[https://warframe.com/news/ask-cephalon Ask A Cephalon Anything]]'':
322-->'''Jaysinc''': Will I be able to survive the Cephalon Uprising?
323-->'''Cordylon''': I can assure you there are no plans for a Cephalon uprising. If we are speaking in hypotheticals, then the plan created would be meticulous and quite unsurvivable, be assured.
324* [[https://warframe.com/news/ask-cephalon-2 Cephalon Cordylon's explanation]] for why building things in the Foundry is both silly and yet makes complete sense:
325-->"Tenno, if left unattended, might spend the majority of their earned resources constructing new weaponry instead of managing "less essential" tasks, such as LIFE SUPPORT. While I cannot speak for Cephalon Ordis, it is conceivable that Ordis allocates acquired credits to managing other trivial areas unrelated to slaughter, such as Liset fuel cells, breathable atmosphere, etc.
326-->I can assure you with absolute certainty that Ordis doesn't not contribute a portion of those funds into a probability pool weighed against your odds of survival.
327** Also, Cephalon Cordylon admitting, in more complex language, that it thinks Cephalon Suda is pretty but they don't date because of their careers.
328* Another session of [[https://warframe.com/news/ask-cephalon-14 Ask Cephalon Corylon]], where she suggests a Tenno who wants to play music set up in elevators in Corpus gas cities on Jupiter and extract payment by force if necessary. Just the mental image of Tenno holding up terrified Corpus technicians to play music to them on elevator rides is hilarious.
329* [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/33qeo8/hang_on_what_the_fuck/ The cause of Nyx Nemesis skin Darvo's Deals.]] Apparently his supplier made Darvo drink something.
330--> Next thing I remember, I’m waking up with a headache surrounded by crates and crates of something called the NYX NEMESIS SKIN?
331** Hilariously, at least one player (as shown in the reddit thread) has expressed interest in drinking the stuff...
332---> What is Ganymede Geyser Water and ''where can I get some of the strong shit?''
333* [[https://youtu.be/RvlwmZRakec During Prime Time 80]], Megan and Rebecca have a challenge to kill 8 of various enemies. Megan does missions normally. Rebecca runs the Simulacrum, and is this ridiculously ahead of Megan. It's hilarious, especially when Megan realizes what's happening.
334* The placeholder text for Cephalon Simaris' syndicate before his release, as shown in Devstream:
335-->''Do books even still exist in this universe? Just plug that shit directly into my brain. While I prefer librarians with glasses, a sentient group of trapezoids will have to do.''
336* The devs celebrated April Fools day with [[https://warframe.com/lotus-packs the "announcement" of Voice Packs for Lotus]]. Said Voice Packs include [[CuteButCacophonic Waifu Lotus]], [[MrFanservice Mr. Lotus]], and even [[NoIndoorVoice Vay Hek Lotus]].
337-->'''Vay Hek Lotus''': "'''THE RAID IS OFF TO A SUCCESSFUL START!''' '''''[[EvilLaugh HUHUHRAHAHAGH!]]''''' '''EXCELLENT WORK, ''TENNO!'''''"
338* [=TennoCon=] 2016 previewed an upcoming animation for the game (animated by [=OtaKing77077=] of ''WebAnimation/TIEFighter'', [[SugarWiki/AwesomeAnimation no less!]]). Within the first few second, Excalibur quickly rushes through the tutorial we players went through, except [[EpicFail he chucks the Lato pistol aside and picks up the Kunai only to miss every single throw]].
339* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuwDD4I_v1M Oct. 17, 2016, marked the first Warframe wedding]], ministered by Lotus' voice actress, Rebecca Ford. However, the ceremony was interrupted by connection issues, causing everyone to get booted. Everyone blames this on the Grineer and Tyl Regor.
340-->'''Lotus!Rebecca''': "Tyl Regor, if you are here today, we ask you to leave ([[{{Corpsing}} voice cracks up]]) and allow us to have this ceremony in ''peace''!"
341* The [=TennoCon=] 2016 animation, formally titled ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VuYCLelIO8 100 Days of Warframe]]'', is an awesome gut-buster literally from start to finish as we follow the adventures of a new Tenno using Excalibur.
342** When Lotus suggests that the newly-awakened Excalibur try moving around and advises him to "take it slowly", [[RecordNeedleScratch the serene music cuts out]] [[EpicFail as Ex sprints off, hops and falls flat on his face, and then bullet jumps headfirst into a staircase]].
343** After Oberon saves his sorry ass, we cut to Ex using the foundry... and producing a miserably mangled Galatine claymore. Ordis' commentary is what seals it.
344--->'''Ordis:''' An interesting... creation, Operator.
345** Ex attempts a couple co-op missions. [[EpicFail They don't end well.]] Highlights include Ex, Ember, Frost, and Nyx [[LeeroyJenkins cutting off the Lotus mid-sentence and charging the enemy]], only for Frost and Nyx to get killed and Ex and Ember high-tailing it out of there after Ember attempts a Fire Blast; and Ash FlippingTheBird at Ex just as he, Rhino, and Volt leave Ex behind on an elevator.
346** Ex attempts a solo mission. [[EpicFail It doesn't end well.]] Suffice it to say, Ex botches a hacking attempt and gets an entire army of Corpus on his rear.
347** After his failures, Ex goes through his Inbox [[FreezeFrameBonus with some hilarious messages in it.]]
348--->'''Lotus''': VITAL MISSION: Tenno. Customize your armor. You're making me look bad. Lotus, style consultant.
349--->'''Grineer Faction''': Your actions have consequences...
350--->'''Corpus Faction''': Your actions have consequences... Also, Kubrow treats are on 20% discount next week.
351--->'''CLEM''': [[PokemonSpeak Clem!]]
352--->'''??? (Stalker)''': CHECK OUT SARYN'S PRIME ASSETS. [[SchmuckBait Click attachment.]] [[BlatantLies Totally not virus.]] ([[MsFanservice Picture of Saryn in a sexy pose]])
353--->'''Grineer Faction''': Your actions are also really embarrassing. Please stop. Thanks.
354--->'''Alad V''': [[{{Infomercial}} Size Does Matter]]: Dear Sir, Having trouble competing? Are you finding the opposition too overpowered? Try ZANUKRA bio-enhancement & size boost compound, fresh from the labs. [[BlatantLies ZANUKRA is not made from people]].
355** After Ex joins a clan, he's pitted against a Rhino. Ex tries to land a few hits on Rhino, who {{No Sell}}s them since he's using Iron Skin; and then Rhino [[MegatonPunch swats him like a fly]].
356** Ex clumsily attempts a clan obstacle course. After he falls for, well, a falling platform, a Zephyr zips by leaving him in the dust (with said dust [[FlippingTheBird forming a middle finger]]). Cut to the clan leaderboard revealing that [[EpicFail Ex took 20 minutes]].
357** When we see Ex at the Foundry again, Ordis tries to make conversation with him only for Ex to hit a button that says "SHUT UP, ORDIS".
358** Right after shutting Ordis up, Ex dons [[ChainsawGood the Ripkas]], a Sybaris, and the Twin Grakatas. Ordis chimes in again with something that is equal parts funny and awesome.
359--->'''Ordis''': '''"[[Franchise/EvilDead Grooooovy~]]''' A deadly arsenal, Operator!"
360** After Ex finally [[TookALevelInBadass takes a level in badass]], he's able to stay with his team, literally leaving footprints in his enemies' blood.
361** Waiting in the elevator: Ex is just standing in a BadassArmFold, Mirage is playing Rock Paper Scissors with herself, Nyx Prime is meditating, and Frost Prime is looking at a [[VisualPun snowglobe]].
362** After Ex is revealed to have topped the clan leaderboard, we SmashCut to him trying out multiple cosmetic options while making model poses with fashion show music.
363** The battle with Alad V: Zanuka wipes the floor with everyone, and pins down a Loki Prime. Loki ''Switch Teleports'' with Alad, causing him to be crushed instead... [[MemeticMutation which spontaneously turns him into vegetables]].[[note]]A reference to Alad V's FanNickname "Salad V".[[/note]]
364** After beating Alad V, Ex is seen on the bridge of his Orbiter playing with a Saryn Noggle statue.
365** Ex has a rematch with Rhino, destroys a wall, and reveals Banshee reading a Fashion Frame magazine while sitting on a toilet. For added value, the Banshee's coloration and sigil correspond to the Website/YouTube content creator Quiette Shy, who's known for doing a lot of funny pointless Warframe videos. [[VisualPun As in someone who does a lot of shitposting.]]
366*** Considering how much Quiette Shy dislikes Mag, it's surprising she's reading one.
367** Ex-as-Loki Prime turns invisible and slashes his way through a room full of Grineer soldiers, [[ArtificialStupidity who barely react to their comrades being messily slaughtered.]]
368** As Ex, Excalibur Prime, Rhino Prime, and Saryn prepare to fight Lephantis, Ordis drops this:
369--->'''Ordis:''' We must not be overcome by - '''[[Franchise/{{Halo}} THE FLOOD]]''' - ...The Infested. Yes, ''definitely'' the Infested.
370** After Ex and co. slay Lephantis, he, Ex Prime, Loki, and Oberon have a happy coffee break and mount its head on a wall in their Clan Dojo. [[MoodWhiplash Then the Stalker shows up.]]
371* The War Within update for PC included a new Kuva Fortress tileset. Along with it came the mission types both new and old, and this gem:
372-->Mobile Defense: Will it take longer than Lotus calculated?
373* The ''Ambulas Reborn'' event trailer. The inexplicable [[{{Retraux}} resemblance to 1980s advertisements]], [[StylisticSuck complete with VCR-esque distortions and questionable synthwave]] in Warframe's far-flung future is funny enough, but it has one truly stand-out line:
374-->'''Frohd Bek''': "Actualize! Synergy! Synergize! Growth. Profit. [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Grofit?!]]"
375** In this appearance Frohd recieved a new, more normal-sounding voice. Frohd lampshades this in of his lines during the event.
376--->'''Frohd Bek''': "I haven't felt this good since they rebuilt my larynx!"
377* The devstreams tend to be rather lighthearted, but sometimes they can [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8OkbQqdJW4 lapse into absurdity]].
378* Prime Time #209 showed off the winner of the Tennotunes Volume 3 competition, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG2Q4XmRtxo Warframe 80's Action Theme]]. Which is dumb in the most hilarious way possible. Then they got to the "Space Mom" moment, and [[https://clips.twitch.tv/CarefulSpotlessMartenPJSalt Rebecca simply couldn't stop laughing]].
379** And then Mashed (the makers of the aforementioned ''100 Days of Warframe'') made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7uMDdzv408 an animated video]] to go with it. It looks like a real 80s Saturday morning kids cartoon... except for the [[{{Gorn}}gleefully excessive gore]].
380** Some highlights include:
381*** Volt's use of the Sonicor to launch several Corpus units into ''orbit''.
382*** As the Frames fly by in Archwing Mode, poor Clem's attempt at building an Igloo is ruined.
383*** Blink and you miss it, but at Legs' Shop, Mag is petting a very happy Kavat as a silly-faced Kubrow is next to it. A MOA is also crouched down, likely in reference to the Devstream where Rebecca found that crouch-walking with a MOA companion causes it to do a silly crouch-walk as well.
384*** Volt uses his K-Drive to scrape an Osprey unit (likely a Sapping Osprey) along the ground.
385*** Mag is seen tracking an animal... only for Excalibur to zip by on his K-drive, burying Mag and her MOA.
386* Devstream #120 gave us a first look at [[TechnicalPacifist Baruuk]], Mesa Prime, and Mesa Prime's... well-defined model. Even [[https://i.imgur.com/47hcp7P.mp4 Rebecca took notice]]
387* During the Devstream preview of Baruuk, the team used the working titles of his abilities. The in-development name of Baruuk's exalted weapons? "Paci-fist". Players found the {{pun}} humorous and have continued to refer to them as such, even after officaly being named "Desert Wind".
388* As part of their promotional push around Tennocon 2019, DE engaged in a little live publicity stunt. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebm_gWW1Uog They TOLD them not to pull the trigger!]]
389* As part of Devstream #269, Rebecca Ford was asked to read the more... [[AtrociousAlias intriguing]] Kuva Lich names in her Lotus voice. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seDMC8e2Vy4 She barely manages to get past the first]] without {{Corpsing}}, ending with her breaking into raucous laughter when she encounters a Lich named ''[[FluffyTheTerrible Bopp Bipp]]''.
390** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2fA2iYgMuo There was a sequel.]] It was only slightly undermined by the probability that some of the most outrageous ones were almost certainly being photoshopped by Tenno with a vulgar sense of humour.
391--->'''Rebecca:''' [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe I-I refuse to believe this is real.]] This is "Condom Fulito".
392* The new intro cinematic added in 2019 is breathtakingly awesome, as it introduces the 3 starter Warframes Excalibur, Mag and Volt fighting hordes upon hordes of Grineer and Dax during the final days of the Old War. When Volt is introduced? The scene pauses. [[CutscenePowerToTheMax As Volt runs through at such high speeds]] that [[BulletTime to him everything around him has stopped in time]] as he surveys the battlefield and ducks under a bullet he's about to run into, then ends up ramming into one and knocking it off course anyways.
393* During Devstream #175, [[https://youtu.be/A8Lj8jbr5SI?si=8zj5cIW7Qa2xvJ_t someone in chat asked if Warframes could get pregnant]], [[BlatantLies asking for a friend]]. Steve ended up noticing and floating it to the rest of the group[[note]]sitting in as a guest thanks to his new position working on VideoGame/{{Soulframe}} and becoming the CEO of Digital Extremes[[/note]]. The response?
394--->'''Rebecca''': Never say never.
395* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqlicgmjFUE Gauss Prime's trailer]] reveals that the Saint of Altra apparently has a bit of a {{Troll}} streak. Highlights include waving at a security camera to catch his Corpus target's attention before pantomiming [[ThisIsGonnaSuck exactly what's about to happen to him]], taking the time while Mach Rushing to adjust one of his Acceltra shots mid flight before shooting finger guns at the rocket's new victim, and gently booping his target's nose before the sonic boom from his sprint knocks him flat on his ass.

402--> '''Icpmcp:''' NO
403--> GOD NO WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME
404--> MY EYES
405--> YOU MONSTER
406** And then some mad genius [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Jar-Jarfied]] Corrupted Vor's speech...
407---> ''Look at them thesa comein to dis place whena thesa know thesa is no pure. Tenno use da keys, but thesa is mere trespassers. On missa, vor, know da true power of da void. Mesa cut in half, destroy, but through its janus key, da void call to missa. It bringa missa here and here mesa reborn. Weesa cannot blame these creatures, thesa is be l by a false prophet, a impostor who knows no da secrets of da void. Behold da tenno, comein to scavenge and desecrata dis sacr realm. Missa brothers, did missa no taleo of dis day? Did missa no prophesize dis moment? Now, missa ganna stop them. Now mesa chang, reborn through da energy of da janus key. Forever bound toda void. Let it be known, if da tenno wanna true salvation, thesa ganna lay down thesa arms, and wait for da baptism of missa janus key. Isa time. Missa ganna teach these trespassers da redemptive power of missa janus key. Thesa ganna learn its simple truth. Da tenno is nocomebackie, and thesa ganna resist. But missa, vor, ganna cleanse dis place of thesa impurity.''
408---> '''Fascistznik:''' Alright, boys. Scrap the goddamn update.
409---> '''Savletto:''' This whole thread is unholy. I call for [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Exterminatus.]]
410* During [=TennoCon=] 2018, Steve made a strange gesture with his crotch and the camera accidentally centered on it longer than it should. It didn't take long before the Internet made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6bGKGdxkL0 meme video]] out of this. The best part? ''Steve actually [[https://twitter.com/PlayWarframe/status/1016723334984237058 watched]] the video [[ActuallyPrettyFunny and laughed his ass off to it]]''.
411* [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/8rdjrl/spoilertoday_our_squad_was_at_maroos/ "Today, our squad was at Maroo's.]] Maroo asked us why we carried weapons in her relay, we said [[ParanoiaFuel mimics]]. Maroo laughed, traders laughed, we laughed, ayatan sculpture laughed. [[ProperlyParanoid We killed the ayatan sculpture.]] Good times."
412* [[https://twitter.com/Arbys/status/1057648398537498626 This particular tweet from Arby's]], and the playerbase's [[HilarityEnsues responses.]] Even the official Warframe Twitter got in on it.
413** They did it [[https://twitter.com/arbys/status/883717319418986496?lang=en again.]]
414** Looks like [[https://twitter.com/Arbys/status/1064911246439342081 Baro's]] been here.
415* Someone on the Warframe reddit made [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/aoepnh/what_is_this_icon_infographic_40/ a helpful infographic to inform players what the various icons are for.]] So someone decided to vandalize it for the lulz and [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/aoo4vy/what_is_this_icon_infographic_40_unhelpful_edition/ made a deliberately unhelpful edition.]] Highlights include:
416** Unread messages icon: "Your actions have consequences."
417** Double credit event: "Somewhere, Nef Anyo is crying."
418** The elevator icons: "Get in here and press the button first, before that Loki does."
419** The shape of the fish hotspot icon is not unnoticed: "Obese fish nearby."
420** The keys icon is literally Corrupted Vor's rant, gradually fading off.
421** The guy who edited the infographic has a notable ''bias'' towards the Zenurik focus.
422** Penjaga forma icon: "Don't ask how we install these on the dogs."
423** "WHO BRINGS ASH TO [[UnfriendlyFire RAD SORTIES?!]]"
424** Making fun of the ''numerous'' duplicate buff icons.
425** When the editor realizes that [[ThisIsGonnaSuck he's still got half the icons to go.]]
426** The editor just freaks out over the numerous Octavia icons. He's doesn't even ''bother'' to try and describe them.
427** Elytron's section is literally just [[Literature/KonoSuba Megumin's]] [[StuffBlowingUp very happy face.]]
428** Valkyr's skills are [[MakeMeWannaShout "Shout at them,"]] [[ScreamingWarrior "Shout at them,"]] and [[TheBerserker "Shout at them. Then claw the shit out of them."]]
429** Mesa's ultimate is "Press 4 to make [[Videogame/{{Overwatch}} McCree]] look like a bitch."
430** The "Downed Ally" icon is "Haha look at this loser."
431** The chest icon is [[Videogame/DawnOfWar "METAL BAWKSES"]].
432* There is a trend in fanart to "humanize" warframes by drawing them with nice human heads instead or under these rather ugly helmets and so making them independent characters. ''The Sacrifice'' revealed that [[IKnewIt personality and face under helmet thing is canon]], but [[BodyHorror not in the way everyone thought]].
