Attention Citizens. Please observe the following PATRIOTIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: *
The following page and its contents have been decreed "MANDATORY" reading by the Ministry of Truth. Please read (and laugh along with) the page and listed trope examples in its entirety for the betterment of DEMOCRACY and LIBERTY! For the Glory of SUPER EARTH!
- Some of the lines the Helldivers can spout are so goddamn cheesy, and that's exactly why they're awesome.Helldiver: SAY HELLO TO DEMOCRACY!
HOW D'YOU LIKE THE TASTE OF FREEDOM!?
FREEDOM DELIVERY!- And, of course, there is what has essentially become the game and the series in general's Signature Line, which just so happens to be a groanworthy Pun:
Helldiver: HOW ABOUT A NICE CUP OF LIBER-TEA!? - Several of the loading screen tips are outright nonsense or the cracks in Super Earth's facade coming out.Did you know that tips are shown during loading screens?
Does your neighbor lift? If so, he or she may be a Cyborg. Report all suspicious activity to the Ministry of Safety.
Don't drink and drive. - The two Privates on board the Super Destroyer are completely sold on Super Earth, and pitifully naive at that. Every one of their voice lines talks about how awesome humanity is and how scary everyone else is.
- The news crawl visible in the lower right-hand corner while on board the Super Destroyer can be quite amusing to read if you take a second to stop and look at it.BREAKING NEWS: Star actress Julia Smith is pregnant! True journalism efforts reveal she's going to have twins--again!
- As intimidating as the Cyborg voice lines are, their death noises can sound pretty goofy, almost like Tom getting hurt mixed with a B1 Battle Droid dying.
- What's the death animation for the Illuminate Illusionist and Council Member? They embarrassingly fall out of their chair and faceplant on the ground. Priceless.
