Bread Eggs Milk Squick / Video Games

• Your opening narration in 77p egg: Eggwife. Your beloved eggwife is the bread to your butter, the wife to your egg, and the shit to your pizza with a bit of shit on it.
• One of the achievements in AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity is called "Air. Wind. Sun. Pain. I am all of this, and your mother makes a fine pasta dinner."
• In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, lazy villagers can comment on how they don't like people going on trends like disliking pineapple on pizza, being afraid of clowns or being grossed out by the word "moist". Then they will go and talk about how "Pizza is whatever toppings you love, man-onions, peppers, pineapple, moist clowns, and hot, melty cheese."
• We have Vieri De'Pazzi in Assassin's Creed II, as Ezio is leaving Firenze.
  Ezio: What do you want, Vieri?
  Vieri: So many things! A larger palazzo, two new steeds, a prettier bride... oh, and yes... your life.
• Courtesy of The Joker in Batman: Arkham Origins, when he sees that Bane has apparently died by Batman's hand:
  Joker: Well, I'd love to stay and celebrate your victory, but I've got stockings to stuff, mistletoe to hang — and about fifteen skyscrapers to blow up before sunrise. Ciao.
• In Battlefield 4, there is a near verbatim example. One of the collectible dogtags (named "Shopping List") reads: "EGGS MILK BREAD BLOOD OF MY ENEMY"
• In Bugsnax, Beffica's summary in the journal notes that she likes "gossip, photography, and breaking and entering".
• The character creation in Deltarune does this when you're building your character's personality; when asked for a favorite type of food, you can answer with sweet, soft, sour, salty, pain, then it goes back to normal with the last choice being cold.
• Dragon Age: Origins:
  • Zevran complains about stumbling into a Town with a Dark Secret: "Just once, I'd like to walk into one of these places and discover a lively dance, or a drinking festival, or an orgy. But alas, no."
  • Zevran also gives this gem: "Magic can kill. Knives can kill. Even small children, launched at great speed, could kill."
  • The gift item "Chasind Sack Mead" is said to taste like "warm summer days and apple blossoms on the wind, with an unexpected aftertaste of Father going off to war, never to return."
• Dragon Age II has a particularly silly piece of advice on one of the loading screens:
  Don't play cards with a Qunari, it's impossible to tell when they're bluffing. Don't play cards with an elf, they never pay their debts. And don't play cards with a dwarf, they'll kill you if they lose.
• In Dwarf Fortress, looking inside the mind of one of your denizens will often string together the most recent thoughts with little regard for context, which unless your fortress is going genuinely incredibly will usually lead to something like this:
  He has dined in a decent dining room lately. He has slept in own magnificent bedroom recently. He has witnessed the decay of the body of a loved one lately. He has been satisfied at work.
• Eat Me's description states: "May contain dairy, carnage, puzzles, nuts."
• The Elder Scrolls:
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion plays this with Weebam-Na describing a failed restaurant that specialised in meals made of rats. (Of course, given that this is a town where about half the population are bipedal cats, this might have been a sound move. Might. If khajiit didn't prefer sweets, that is.) Double-trope score for being a Shout-Out to the Glimmer Man.
    "First this guy decides he's gonna make a million, opens a fancy restaurant: Rats in a Cream Sauce, Rat Flambe, Rat Necrom with Bonemeal Gravy, Deep-Fried Rat, Lemon Rat and Wild Rice, Rat Ragu with Powdered Deer Penis! Of course, when the guards found out, they ran his sorry butt out of town, but they left the rats. Rats!"
  • Falanu Hlaalu, the alchemist in Skingrad, has a typical, mundane Oblivion conversation with you until she drops this bombshell:
    "I'm the only alchemist in Skingrad. Not much business here, but I can't go back to Morrowind. It's just like anywhere else in the Empire. By the way...do you happen to know what the fine is here in Cyrodiil for necrophilia? Just asking."
  • Even better, because the PC can respond, (presumably equally deadpan), "Is it the first offence?" After receiving the reply "Let's assume, no." the response becomes "Around 500."
  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim got a rather brilliant one in the "Dark Brotherhood" questline. Nazir gives the Dovahkin the task of murdering the bride at a wedding — and she's the cousin of the Emperor, and her assassination will spark a chain of events that lead to the Emperor's assassination. When he comments about it, he says "You'll have a lovely time. You'll mingle with the guests, have some cake, stab the bride during her reception, and leave with some favors."
  • Skyrim has another one when you look at Mercer Frey's grocery list. It reads: "Milk, goat cheese, turnips, cauterizing agent, eggs, flour, cheese."
• The typical day of a player in Elona includes working in farms, exploring dungeons, paying bills, slaughtering a whole town's worth of children...
• One of the DLC maps in Fire Emblem Fates features Silas listing off the things he did to stay up all night, complete with a Lampshade Hanging afterwards:
  Silas: I'm so tired! I've tried every trick in the book. Drinking coffee... jumping jacks... Licking a toad. ...That last one's not real, is it? They were messing with me!
• Grand Theft Auto:
  • One of the talk radio shows features a woman who saw her family murdered in front of her eyes, and is drugged up pretty high in an attempt to deal with the traumatic memories. Evidently, the drugs aren't quite enough, as she has a tendency to reveal slightly disturbing facts about it out of the blue in an unnaturally perky tone. And towards the end of the show, the drugs begin to wear off...
  • From Grand Theft Auto III: "I also like jazz, and cooking, and bestiality so the Internet is really good for my hobbies." Wait what?! Oh Chatterbox, you have such a deleterious effect on my driving skills...
  • In the fourth game, minor character Bluesy St. John's cabaret performances end up like this sooner or later. Usually sooner.
  • In Grand Theft Auto V, during the "Daddy's Little Girl" mission.
    Michael: Who the fuck are these people?
    Tracy: Oh, you know, TV people, celebs, serious drug dealers...
    Michael: Since when did TV people and drug dealers start hanging out?
• A chapter of Halo: Combat Evolved is named "Fourth Floor: Tools, Guns, Keys To Super Weapons"
• In A Hat in Time, when you examine the bookcase on Hat Kid's ship:
  It's a bookcase. Also known as a 'cool word zone' or a 'thing you can't even slightly fill yourself, Steven, you'll never find a publisher, and all that time you spend in your study is time you could spend with your kids', depending on where you're from.
• The House on Usher:
  • The game menu is a cluttered day planner which includes the following shopping list:
    Milk
    Bread
    Garlic
    Wooden Stake
    Silver Bullet
  • A to-do list attached to a calendar in the garage:
    Buy chloroform
    Find jackstand pin
    Fix pet enclosure
    CALL EXORCIST!
• The art gallery in Ib has this list of rules:
  No loud conversation. No photography. No food or drink. No touching the displays. No fountain pens. No leaving ever.
• In The Inner World a visual inspection of Conroy's garbage dump prompts the following list.
  Robert: Hmm, an old vase, a broken spindle, the right hand of a guy from the city, the scarf I gave Conroy for his birthday...
• In Jade Empire, the majority of the Black Whirlwind's Backstory conversations go this way. An amusing mix of Ax-Crazy and Boisterous Bruiser, the mercenary Whirlwind will often begin with an amusing war story about something he thinks is relatively harmless, then offhandedly mention cleaving innocent women in half, or letting wine-soaked rats get too close to a fire. At one point, Minister Sheng's litany of complaints begins with having dogs defecate in his shoes, being told he was smelly and being insulted by local children, and ends with his office being burned to the ground.
• In King's Quest II+, Ma Pumpkin's description of Hagatha combines this with Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: "You know her type...green warts, pointed ears, cannibalistic, doesn't put her trash out."
• Kingdom of Loathing:
  • According to the hippies, pontiuspilates is "an exercise regimen designed to relax you, bring your body into alignment, strengthen your core, and fracture your spine." They get the bonus points: you reply, "Wait, what was that last one?"
  • In "Beyond The Looking Glass", which is one big reference to Alice In Wonderland, you find a plate of pastries. A few say "Eat Me", a few say "Drink Me", and one particularly off-putting one says "Spank Me Like A Bad, Bad Donkey".
• In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, there is a side quest at the top of a tree where a minor NPC asks Link to bring the answers to five riddles. The answers to the first three riddles are fairly common fruits or mushrooms, the answer to the fourth riddle is a harmless fish. The answer to the fifth and last riddle is the hoof of a Lynel, a brutal centaur-like monster and the game's renowned Boss in Mook Clothing.
• In Magic the house where you bombed as a magician has a list of cocktail recipes fastened to the wall. The first four perfectly normal cocktails are followed by "Vampire's Delight", which is composed of one part Scotch and one part monkey blood.
• In Mana Khemia, Jess' method of attack involves throwing items from her bag. In order: chemical tubes, potted plants, bombs, and a life-sized chariot. Yep, it's that kind of bag...
• Mass Effect 3:
  • Done deliberately and very sarcastically by Joker while discussing how out of it Citadel news is: the new Blasto movie breaks box-office records, tips for redecorating, "and oh yeah a big-ass Reaper invasion".
  • Liara does this in Citadel just to troll Shepard when she is asked how she got ahold of an incriminating phone call.
    Liara: It involved the weapon's biometric data, salarian intelligence, and a hanar prostitute with camera implants.
    Shepard: Seriously?
    Liara: No. But the truth is boring.
• Doctor Thomas A. Beanies from Mewgenics refers to himself as a self-taught scientist, cat expert, geneticist, and drug dealer.
• In Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent, Nelson says this to himself after his investigation starts to take a turn for the weird:
  Nelson: I miss my office. It's warm in my office. It's safe in my office. There are no maniacal gnomes or chainsaw-wielding waitresses in my office!
• The Neverwinter Nights community module "Sanctum of the Archmage" contains a series of magic computers in the ruins that form most of the first chapter, with the option to play games on them. "Global thermonuclear war" is innocuously placed among the other, more traditional games (also a Shout-Out to WarGames, mentioned above).
• Night in the Woods: On day 3, if you examine the family portrait on the second floor, Mae has this to say.
  Mae: Home. Where everyone knows my name. And my mom's name. And my dad's name. And about that time I put that kid in the hospital.
• In Night Trap, this is combined with Black Comedy: In the second part of the driveway, Jeff and Tony meet up with Weird Eddie for a scare:
  Jeff: [waves] Hi, Eddie! Bye, Eddie!
  Tony: Hey, nice of you to drop by, Eddie!
  Jeff: Oh, and let us know when you wanna die, Eddie! [Eddie gets frightened and runs off from the scene]
• In Oh...Sir!! The Insult Simulator, You can start with "Your father never watched Star Wars" and work your way up to "Your sister flashes people in the park".
• The introduction to One Game in Search of a Story:
  You wake up at three in the morning feeling like you've forgotten something.
  What could it be?
  You brushed your teeth, you destroyed the evidence of your recent robbery, you took a shower, you gave a small child marijuana...
  
  OH NO! YOU FORGOT TO GIVE THIS GAME A STORY!
• One of the chained up peasants in Overlord: Raising Hell, who hangs from a wall in Melvin's kitchen, pleads "Will someone just give me some food? Potaoe peelings, apple cores, a brussel sprout even... anything!"
• Planescape: Torment has Vrischka's Curiosity Shoppe — most of the items are... less than ordinary, like a monster jug containing a real monster, a bottle of angel's tears, and a demon's tongue. Then there's the baby oil.
  Vrischka: From only the finest mewling mortal babies!
• As described on this page: "According to the source code leaks, Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum have decreased encounter rates when played on the dates of Jan 1st, Spring/Autumn Equinoxes, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, and 9/11."
• Happens a couple of times in Portal:
  • At the beginning of one chamber, GLaDOS helpfully informs you that touching the Grimy Water 'floor' "will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your official testing record, followed by death."
  • During the final Boss Battle, the Logic Core will give you the recipe for the cake. It starts with many of the ingredients you'd expect (flour, eggs), then moves on to a few you wouldn't expect (rhubarb, crackers), a few that are downright dangerous (explosives, carcinogenic preservatives), various pieces of equipment (adjustable aluminum head positioner, injector needle gun), and some that are just plain wrong (licorice, fish). In retrospect, maybe it's a good thing the cake is a lie.
  • The ending theme song, "Still Alive," contains several examples:
    • "Aperture Science/We do what we must because we can/For the good of all of us/Except the ones who are dead."
    • "I've experiments to run/There is research to be done/On the people who are/Still Alive."
    • "I'm not even angry/I'm being so sincere right now/Even though you broke my heart/and killed me/And tore me to pieces/And threw every piece into a fire."
• Not to be outdone by its predecessor, Portal 2 also has some examples:
  • A wall sign in the old labs invites you to "KNOW YOUR ALLERGENS: Pollen. Animal dander. Plastics. Antimatter".
  • One of Cave Johnson's prerecorded speeches helpfully informs Chell that the old Enrichment Spheres are made of asbestos, to keep the rats down. So, you should "Let us know if you feel a shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough, or your heart stopping."
  • On a Dummied Out poster — "Know your time travel paradoxes. Always avoid... Future self, your father, past self, Hitler."
• In Presentable Liberty, the player character periodically receives new minigames from their "Happy Buddy". At one point, he lists off all the things he had to sell in order to buy the latest game — his house, his food, one of his lungs...
• Psychonauts brings us the Rainbow Squirt Pledge of Purpose: "To promote niceness. To make the world prettier. To share candy with everyone. To obfuscate the true nature of the Milkman. To protect the Milkman at all costs. To destroy all who would harm the Milkman, or threaten to reveal his secret objective."
• Rallo Gump has the description of the planet Gump's geography:
  From the mountains...to the valleys. From the sheer rock faces...to the volcanic spike fields.
• In Saints Row: The Third, the Protagonist is discussing his/her concerns with Pierce, one of the Saints' lieutenants, about an imminent attack by an anti-gang organization called "STAG." Pierce, however, seems a bit distracted.
  Protagonist: With STAG in town, we need to be careful, Pierce.
  Pierce: Huh? Oh, yeah, I totally agree.
  Protagonist: Our place might be compromised...
  Pierce: Whatever you say.
  Protagonist: ...and we should get some horses and mount a charge on STAG...
• In Sam & Max: Freelance Police, Hugh Bliss manages to do this even when his actual words are nothing but Squick. The Bread, Eggs, and Milk are all in the bubbly falsetto with which he speaks the line.
  • Also in the series, Bosco's sells weapons in addition to food and (in the past) baby care.
• One of Valentine's match start quotes in Skullgirls is:
  Side effects include nausea, headaches, and death.

  • The Wii version has this exchange.
    Tails: ...oh there you are. Where'd you run off to?
    Sonic: I did a little shopping, grabbed a bite to eat and trashed a giant killer robot.
  • Bonus points for Tails' reaction being "Oh, really? They've got shopping here too?"
  • A few of Eggman's PA lines have this as well.
    "Please refrain from throwing coins, trash, or small children into the reflecting pools."
    "Next stop, the Tropical Resort. Here, you will find: breath-taking views from our giant Ferris wheel, amazing deals from our shopping mall, and constant risk of bodily harm."
• The intro to the Strider NES game goes as follows: "The Striders: They are the toughest group of people who execute acts such as infiltration, abduction, explosion, instigation, etc." Put it down to the game's characteristic bad translation, probably.
• When Amuro comes back in Third Super Robot Wars Z: Tengoku-hen, AG references that old horrible comic (about him getting mad and punching out a monitor upon seeing Giren's speech) and the novel (about what he called Sayla there, about him dying to a beam bazooka, and of course the pubic hair thing).
• In Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood, if Guybrush tells Judge Grindstump "I want a change of venue!":
  Guybrush: Your honor, I'd like to request a change of venue!
  Grindstump: Where to?
  Guybrush: Oh, how about back at your place... just you, me, a jug of grog, a loaf of bread, and some scandalous legal briefs...
  Grindstump: [gets ticked off] CAPTAIN THREEPWOOD WILL TERMINATE HIS CLUMSY AND OFF-PUTTING ATTEMPTS TO SEDUCE THIS COURT AT ONCE! ARRRR!!!!

    Demon Bride Elaine: How dare you!! I have a wedding ceremony to plan, a dress to pick out, a reception to arrange and some bridesmaids to slaughter! I don't have time for this!
• Team Fortress 2: It's the middle-ish part of a century a lot like the one we just had. A simpler time. There are three TV stations, one phone company, and two holding corporations that secretly control every government on the planet.
  • In the "Meet the Medic" video, the Medic's conversation with the Heavy borders on this, with him entertaining his patient with a funny story about medical malpractice (the doctor stole the patient's skeleton), and finishing with "Anyway, that's how I lost my license." To make things worse, he's telling this story to a patient while in the middle of an operation. While the patient is conscious.
    Heavy: Should I be awake for this?
    
    
    Medic: Well, no. But since you are, could you hold your ribcage open a bit more?
  • In "Meet the Sniper", the sniper goes over a few of his professional standards: "Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet."
• In the Touhou Project series, one of Sakuya Izayoi's official profiles states:
  She does a maid's duty perfectly: cooking, cleaning, washing, babysitting, knife throwing, etc.
• Tomodachi Life: "I keep everything in my wallet! Cash, credit cards, toothpaste, extra socks..."
• Style, sophistication, the ability to launch napalm into oncoming traffic. If these are the things you look for in an automobile, it's time you test drive Twisted Metal.
• Undertale has Mettaton boasting at various points some variation of "DRAMA! ACTION! BLOODSHED!" There are also the key cake ingredients in his "Cooking with a Killer Robot" scene: flour, milk, eggs... and a human soul.
• The Untold Tales Of The Vocaloids: in Iroha Library, there is an visitor who remarks the library has many things in its collection, including "science, drama, fantasy, and ecchi books."
• Some of the quest descriptions in World of Warcraft fit the bill nicely.
  Horzak Zignibble: Workers act like it's their job to complain. If it isn't the backbreaking labor, the long hours, or the low pay, it's being turned to stone by basilisks. It's always something!
