History Funny / Battleborn

* There are three characters that Attikus casts in the role of a "FemmeFatale LadyInRed" client who hires him. These are Ambra with her red ceremonial dress, Deande with her spymistress attire that has red in it, and... Oscar Mike with lipstick on his helmet. Oscar Mike is definitely [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers the odd one among the three]] and the instances wherein Mike plays the role, or at least as an accompanying companion, tend to be arguably the most comical.

** A host of a Series/{{Cosmos}}parody has trouble processing the concept of being more than one star in the Universe, thanks to the Varelsi consuming all but Solus.

* Her audio log on why she turned against the Jennerit Empire starts out serious enough... then [[RantInducingSlight devolves into her in the midst of shrieking rage at how Rendain has a]] MisterMuffykins named Constable Cuddles, acting as if this is somehow the most heinous thing he's done.

* [[DevelopersForesight When you try to access Command without having the proper rank]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIWe7Cbgt90 Nova denies you access]], [[RantInducingSlight in increasingly hilarious ways]].

As expected of Creator/GearboxSoftware the creators of ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Battleborn}}'' has quite the humor.

-->'''Nova''': (gleeful giggle)\\

'''Nova''': (giggle) AWAY MISSIONS!

* The Wolf sentry, whose duty is to heroically sacrifice his life to close the portal... and has NO idea. Imagine [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Olaf's "In Summer" song]]. Kinda like that.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnq9_nZH3mM This fan song]] is full of hilarious lyrics from the Battleborn characters boasting about their skills, but these moments stand out:

** On top of that they're not just dances, they're ''every single one of the chicken dances from Series/ArrestedDevelopment''.

*** Orendi on the other hand seems to think there'll be enough of Wolf left for her to... Well...

*** Orendi on the other hand doesn't seems to think he'll survive.

* A piece of dialogue that can pop up at the start of the mission. Due to incredibly large Varelsi portals such as the one in the mission having a dizzying effect on AI, Nova the [[SpaceshipGirl Magnus of the Battleborn's ship]] and one of the seemingly less [[AIIsACrapshoot crazy Magnuses]] gets a whole lot more crazier when the portal suddenly surges. Basically, she becomes a drunken teenage girl.

-->'''Toby''': Aww, look at how cute he is--damn it!

-->'''Phoebe:''' Well, yes, things have been a bit ''STRANGE'' lately, but come now - is that ''REALLY'' cause to believe that we live inside a computer?

'''Phoebe:''' Come now, do you really believe all the cosmos exists in a simulation?\\
'''ISIC:''' How else would you explain all the weird [[CensoredForComedy s*it]] going on lately, Ms. Hemsworth? Consider: The Varelsi, that bonkers-ass Eldrid "magic", the nigh-daily breaking of the laws of physics.. Shall I go on? I got a few hundred more.\\
'''Phoebe:''' Well, yes, things have been a bit ''STRANGE'' lately, but come now - is that ''REALLY'' cause to believe that we live inside a computer?\\
'''ISIC:''' Yup! [[BreakingSpeech And not only that: if the universe is a machine, consciousness is a cog. A cog built to experience pain, fear, loneliness, dread, doubt,]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking accidental public nudity,]] [[BreakingSpeech rejection, neurosis, and abject despair.]] [[TakeThatUs This machine was designed by monsters]] [[TakeThatAudience and is being operated by unconscionable beings.]]\\
'''Phoebe:''' ''I AM SO BUMMED OUT RIGHT NOW!''

* One of Mike's quotes boils down to him remarking that he's "on the move" and then [[{{Irony}}{ lamenting the fact that there isn't a snappier way of saying "on the move."]][[labelnote:*]]"Oscar Mike" is military slang for "on the move".[[/labelnote]]

-->'''Wolf:''' You fellas are swell. What are you doing after the mission? We should do something, because [[BlatantLies I will be both intact and alive, and not dead at all.]]
-->'''[[TheSociopath ISIC:]]''' [[ComedicSociopathy Dragging my large, metal butt over your unmarked grave! It's gonna be a great time!]]

-->'''ISIC''': Montana's theme song is stupid.
-->'''Montana''': Hey!

-->'''Wolf:''' I like you guys. We should hang out. What are you doing after the whole "blow up the portal" thing?
-->'''Miko:''' [[BrutalHonesty We... PLAN to mourn your death.]]
-->'''Wolf:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint NIIIIIICE! Count me in!]]

-->'''Deande''': So are we. And since we've arrived first, we have, uh... what are they called, Kleese?
-->'''Kleese''': Oh! "First dibs."
-->'''Deande''': YES! First dibs! WE have first dibs, so I'm afraid you'll have to deal with US FIRST, you DIB! Pahaha!
-->'''Hylis''': Well, heck, if you insist.

-->'''Hylis''': Hey wait a minute, I recognize that voice. You're Deande, aren't you? Rendain's right hand?
-->'''Deande''': Not anymore.
-->'''Hylis''': Wow! Big fan! Just a big fan of your work, that's all. Man, I get to kill the high spymaster! Back at the prison, we mainly just deal with turncoats and heretics but this is... this is something special! Guys! Guys, we get to kill Deande! Yeah! The spymaster herself!
-->'''Deande''': Hm. Apparently I'm not as popular as I once believed.

-->'''Caldarius''': I hope not. Hylis may be an idiot, but he persistent.
-->'''Hylis:''' And handsome! You forgot incredibly handsome, Caldy.
-->'''Caldarius''': Oh. Yeah, he's pretty handsome.
-->'''Hylis''': Not the response I was expecting, but... thanks! You're a SWEETHEART

-->'''Aria''': (exasperated sigh)

Oscar Mike does indeed sound like he's about to start crying.)\\

-->'''Nova''': Ooh. Ooh. Are you going to put me in the robot suit? Are you? Kleese? Robot suit. Kleese?
-->'''Kleese''': No, we'll digitally upload you into a network that you will hack!
-->'''Nova''': ... I guess that could be fun, too.

-->'''Nova''': (gleeful giggle)
-->'''Ghalt''': I've never heard her do THAT.
-->'''Kleese''': Yyyeah, that was weird.
-->'''Nova''': (giggle) AWAY MISSIONS!

-->'''Ghalt''': If the Imperium doesn't already know we're here, they sure as hell will once Nova starts diggin' into the network. She's stored locally in that terminal - if it goes down, she goes down with it. After all, there's no "backing up" a Magnus.
-->'''Nova''': Thank you for reminding me of my mortality shortly before my mission, Captain. I mean it.

-->'''Nova''': Hey, wouldn't now be an inconvenient time to be besieged by hostile forces?
-->(hostile forces besiege the control room)
-->'''Nova''': Hostile forces, inbound! Defend the network terminal! Wow, that went south quick.

-->'''Deande''': Nova doesn't get a chance to get outside the ship terribly often, does she?
-->'''Ghalt:''' Since we've been working together, Nova's never been outside the ship at ALL, come to think of it.
-->'''Nova''': We never do anything fun. But this? This is way fun.
-->'''Deande''': Rather... spirited, isn't she?

-->'''Nova''': The Thrall is transforming. Kleese, please advice your comrades what to do next.
-->'''Kleese''': HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW?! KILL IT!

-->'''Kleese''': YESSSSS! YOU DID IT, NOVA!
-->'''Nova''': I did. I did do it.

-->'''Aria''': You aren't trying to kill me? Even a little?
-->'''Oscar Mike''': I'm just here to hang out! With my bros! In fact, I'm naming you an honorary bro! I'll need your mailing address to send you your official bro certificate. It's laminated, so you can carry it around in your wallet.
-->'''Aria''': WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?!

-->'''Aria''': The Thrall are INCAPABLE of leading themselves. The only thing you dogs will listen to is the smash of an iron fist!
-->'''Attikus''': Then it's a good thing I LITERALLY HAVE ONE OF THOSE!
-->'''Aria''': Well, s**t.

-->'''Oscar Mike''': Hey bro! It's your bro! What's good in this creepy hood? Need a case?
-->'''Attikus''': I'm not in the mood.
-->'''Oscar Mike''': That's cool with me! Maybe I could be the detective this time! Or... ooh! Or YOU could be a murderer!
-->'''Attikus''': Don't give me any ideas.

-->'''Aria''': Come to kill me again so soon?
-->'''Oscar Mike''': Shut up, lady! The big guy here is working through some serious emotional baggage, and he needs support from his best friends! Like me!
-->'''Aria''': Oh, I'd love to help. Would fighting for your life provide a suitable catharsis?
-->'''Oscar Mike''': Cat harness? No, I just let them walk around. All eight of 'em!

-->'''Oscar Mike''': Yeah! See, this is the good stuff! Boil those tears away in the fiery truth of combat!
-->'''Attikus''': I wasn't crying.
-->'''Oscar Mike''': Course not! You don't have a sweet helmet to hide your tears from onlookers such as children and small animals who have evolved the ability to point and laugh without understanding the hurt they're causin'!
-->'''Attikus''': Uh... is this still about me or --
-->'''Oscar Mike''': Probably!

-->'''Attikus''': Tell me why you turned away from Rendain.
-->'''Ambra''': One crystal clear reason: he betrayed Empress Lenore. I swore an eternal oath to her, not to him or the twisted thing he wrought out of her empire. She would not have taken us down this path, committed the atrocities with which he sullies the Jennerit name every day.
-->'''Attikus''': Right, right--I also heard something about a dog?
-->'''Ambra''': That wretched, shivering little gremlin Constable Cuddles SLOBBERED on an AZTANTI RUG older than the EMPIRE ITSELF! AND RENDAIN JUST STOOD THERE COOING LIKE IT WAS A GIGGLING CHILD!

-->'''Ambra''': Well done, Thr... Attikus. In truth, I once considered you little more than a brutish pawn. I hope you will forgive me that oversight.
-->'''Attikus''': And I'm sorry for ever calling you a radio antenna with a superiority complex.
-->'''Ambra''': When did you --
-->'''Attikus''': But that's all behind us now! I've got my sights on the future! I'll need your help to win this fight, if you still offer it.
-->'''Ambra''': Ahem. Yes. Of course.

-->'''Shayne and Aurox''': (suddenly, unusually quiet)
-->'''Shayne''': (solemnly) That was weird.
-->'''Aurox''': Agreed.

-->'''Mellka''': So... you punched Rendain in the face with your big glove thing?
-->'''Attikus''': Yes. Yes I did.

-->'''Deande''': There he is! Caldarius! Caldarius, can you stand?
-->'''Caldarius''': I WANT TO KILL RENDAIN!
-->'''Deande''': And you shall have your chance.
-->(Deande turns away, calling to someone in the distance.)
-->'''Deande''': Yeah, he's fine! Bring the suit!

-->'''Hardcastle''': Anyway, we now go live to our own Manny Fetzer, backstage at the Arcfleet Arena, for a word with the fallen champion.
-->'''Fetzer''': Thanks, Dave. El Dragón, you were the longest-reigning champion in CWF history before tonight's crushing defeat. What happened? How did ISIC succeed where so many other have failed?
-->'''El Dragón''': HE RIPPED MY ARMS OFF, YOU IDIOT! GET OUT OF MY LOCKER ROOM! WHERE IS THE DOCTOR?! WHERE ARE MY ARMS?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

-->'''Nova''': I know. I know all about that. Getting kicked out by Mikes. Hey, are you about to start crying?
--> (Oscar Mike does indeed sound like he's about to start crying.)
-->'''Oscar Mike''': But now - but now that I'm here, I got all these cool new friends, and everybody's REALLY supportive, and I feel like I can drop this ultimate badass charade, and really let people in for the first time, like - y'know what I'm saying, diary?
-->'''Nova''': Oh my god, this is amazing. All hands to the bridge, Oscar Mike is having an ugly cry.
--> (Oscar Mike is inconsolable.)
-->'''Oscar Mike''': [[LargeHam I DON'T EVEN CARE IF WE DON'T SAVE THE STAR, BECAUSE I'VE FOUND PEOPLE I REALLY CONNECT WITH! AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE GROWN A LOT AS A PERSON!]]

--> '''Marquis:''' "I... [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone oh. Oh my. Young miss, I am dreadfully sorry, but I... I don't know what came over me!]]"
--> '''Kid!Phoebe:''' "Dad! ''Daaaad!'' The butler just tried to ''kill meee!''"

-->'''Shayne''': Shayne and Aurox, teen detectives!
-->'''Aurox''': WE ARE NOT DETECTIVES!

-->'''Recruiter''': "I wish there was something I could do, [[AccidentalMisnaming Billy-]]"
-->'''Toby''': "'''''[[SayMyName MY NAME IS TOBY]], YOU [[PrecisionFStrike F**KING]] MUTANT!!!'''''"

-->'''ISIC''': You think this is game? This isn't a f*cking game! [[ThisIsReality This is REAL LIFE!]] And get this: [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment If you die in real life, YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE!]] Just something for you to think about! [[BreakingTheFourthWall That's right, YOU, the one holding the controller slash mouse! I'm looking at YOU, Anthony!]]
-->'''[[StraightMan Ghalt]]''': What the ''hell'' is he talking about?
-->'''Kleese''': I have no idea.

* The 10th playthrough operation run and "last episode" of the DLC story has Attikus finally realizing at the start that he is [[Metaphorgotten bad at metaphors]].
