Funny / Marathon Expanded Universe

Beware spoilers; per Spoilers Off, spoilers on Moments pages are not tagged. These are separated into folders by scenario for this reason.

Eternal

• From Eternal, "A Friend in Need" has you encounter an old friend whose reaction to seeing you suddenly appear and provide assistance to their situation is amusing.
  Leela: You! Of all the people I would expect to meet here and now, you are among the last of them.
• During "This S'pht Again‽" (formerly "S'pht'ia"), time travelling shenanigans lead you to a previously visited location, but in its past. This has some effect of the inhabitants noticing your presence when you are trying to stay hidden. Leela points out the obvious.
  Leela: That is not good news.
  • And in a callback to Durandal's threats in Marathon 2 to teleport you into space if you delay the mission's progress, Leela gently nudges you to progress when you use certain terminals again in that level.
    Leela: No, I already have access to this clan's network. You can find more terminals in the tower to the south of the compound. You know that tall, round building we saw earlier while we were falling? That tower. I'm sure you can find your way there.
• In a later plank ("Eádem, sed aliter", formerly "Dread Not"), she's flabbergasted at some actions you take (jumping into a garbage disposal teleporter) to exit the previous level. She's not happy when you catch up with her, although she accepts that you may have had no choice due to interference from the main antagonist.
  Leela: What the hell do you think you are doing? Do you have some sort of death wish? A waste disposal transporter...of all the stupid...uhr!
  
  I'm sorry, you just caught me a little off guard there. That transporter you just took is used for lifting wastes and such up to orbital platforms for processing. Let me put it in simpler terms for you: it beams things into space!...I mean, I understand you don't know where any given transporter goes, but did you honestly think a garbage disposal would transport you anywhere remotely pleasant?
• Leela also has some darkly amusing choice words for you in "The Philosophy of Time Travel", during the end of one of the failure timelines. (Actually the last one before the end.)
  Leela: I know you pity Hathor so, but the next time somebody says to you, "I am the Dark One, your eternal enemy, and I think you should do this, trust me," I would recommend that you do the opposite of whatever it is she suggests.
• Meta example. During a Rampancy.net Let's Play stream of Eternal, in a late stage plank, the team discover a little secret. Said secret contains a suspiciously familiar looking weapon from a certain other sci-fi franchise. The reactions can be seen here.

  Message in the Stream Chat: George Lucas is gonna sue somebody!

Rubicon

• From Rubicon: On "Prize Payment Schedule", if you don't immediately cut the power, you can read some terminals that would be otherwise shut off. You might wonder if there's any useful information stored there...
  Lysander: Good luck finding what you're looking for. I understand that certain items can be mighty tough to locate when you don't have the proper information.
  Lysander: No, there's no information on Achilles here. I don't know what possessed you to access this terminal.
  Lysander: I'll be honest with you: there used to be a map on this terminal, with the route to that thing you're looking for highlighted in bright purple. But since I'm being honest, I've also got to admit that I've removed all data pertaining to locations aboard this orbiting substation. Sometimes the truth hurts.
• Lysander also makes a bit of an amusing stealth call back and mythology gag to Durandal's past. (Although this is in the wake of Charlie's tragic final moments and going offline which you/the SO caused earlier.)
  Lysander: I have no desire to be opening doors on this station for an extended period of time. It's boring.
• Also from Rubicon, there is a darkly amusing moment when you get to betray Durandal and help Tycho by, instead of installing an uplink chip programmed with a virus on it on the intended target, installing it on Durandal's ship. The result is a terminal with scrambled text where Durandal seemingly demands to know what you did and calls you a "stupid monkey". The log on and off logos are also corrupted and you might interpret the logon text as a messed up curse at your actions. Adding to the black humour, you can find another terminal where Tycho remarks "Now that was funny."
• On a related note: the final terminal of "iwannavacuum" is a normal conversation with Durandal—which is to say, multiple pages' worth of text. At the conclusion of its Tycho Plank counterpart, Tycho simply remarks, "that was fast," and teleports you out within seconds.
• Near the end of one of the planks (the Pfhor plank), you find yourself on the Pfhor homeworld, and there are large areas with a rather nasty-looking fluid. Durandal decides not to elaborate on what it is to stop you from avoiding it.
  Durandal: Yes, that brownish purple goop is disgusting. Yes it smells strange. Yes it is a part of the Pfhor biology. No, I am not telling you what it is. I'd never get you to leave your current location if I did. Hold your nose and jump in; I promise it'll be a short trip to the next elevated area.

Mararthon Yuge

• Mararthon Yuge is completely and utterly silly. From the fact that the first weapon you get is a literal pile of shit, how several terminals have an image of a mustachioed man just put in for no reason, the constant references to Donald Trump, to even the very textures, this mod is one you can't play with a straight face.
