Funny / Metal Wolf Chaos

Metal Wolf Chaos is a mecha action game famous (or infamous) for its over-the-top dialogue, cheesy Engrishy voice-acting, and eschewing American politics with hilarious results, despite coming from the Land of the Rising Sun and the same studio that brought you Armored Core, Otogi: Myth of Demons, and King's Field.

Unmarked spoilers below!

The game itself:

• The opening scene of the White House stage: The President of the United States of American bursting through the White House with his mech suit by rocket jump front-flipping his way out of the Oval Office, while screaming "LET'S PAAAARTYYYYYY!!!" at the top of his lungs as he welcomes the coup d'etat forces!
• An Easter Egg in the opening stage, where if you continuously shoot the memorial of Michael's father, he'll speak to him from beyond the grave, with Michael comically begging for forgiveness.
  • It can also be done during the Fight House stage for a bunch of new lines. This time, Michael nearly giggles, when asking for forgiveness.
• Michael Wilson's one-liners, such as:
  "HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?!"^Explanation His warcry when unleashing a Blaze Attack. He also shouts this after stopping Richard's battle tank on Liberty Island and hurls it off the bridge.
  "I'll make you guys like perforated cheese!"^Explanation From the game's opening cutscene before entering the Title Screen where Metal Wolf was taking on the coup d'etat forces in an U.S. military outpost.
  "You guys are roast chicken!"^Explanation Also from the opening cutscene, before unloading a Macross Missile Massacre on the coup d'etat.
  "SUCK ON MY MISSILE PUNCH!"^Explanation From a DNN anti-Metal Wolf propaganda where Richard unleashed a barrage of missiles at Michael during their encounter in New York, only for (fake) Michael to charge towards Richard, dodging the wave of oncoming missiles, manages to grab one mid-flight, and clocks Richard in the face with his missile.
  "What. Ever."^Explanation Before and after thwarting Richard's schemes on Liberty Island, and his opinion on Peter McDowell changing his mind about Metal Wolf.
• The way Jody reveals the callname for each mission: with a drum roll.
  • The first time they encountered this, YouTuber ScribeD and his friend Mike were left in stitches.
    Goddammit, why did they have to have the drum roll?!?!
• Jody's somewhat crazy remarks during missions encouraging the player to demolish everything they see in a stage.
  Jody: "The enemy forces have usurped a building making it a target. The building was opened two years ago on April 25th. It's named the Haokan Denkai China Building. Each season it is decorated with gorgeous lights. Their Christmas tree tops them all. Over 800,000 people came to see it last December. For such a long time, I've been wondering how lovely that gorgeous building would look if it were destroyed. I feel bad for the owner, but hey, let's smash the hell out of it!"
• DNN's anti-Metal Wolf propaganda and their reporter, Peter McDowell, also provide some comical gems:
  • The anchor mourning over destruction of San Francisco after Michael liberated it from Richard's clutches, where he then comically broke down in tears which caused the news segment to cut to a Relax-o-Vision scene until he got himself back together and then claimed that Metal Wolf is meaner than Satan.
  • During the Chicago stage, Peter McDowell began panicking over the increasing toxicity in the air of the city... and eventually became worried about not having enough time to make instant noodles.
  • A later DNN news segment which lies about Richard curb stomping Metal Wolf in New York with his own mobile armor to win gain political support.
  • Another late game news segment by DNN where the anchor gleefully threatens an overly drawn out list of people affiliated with or sympathizing with Metal Wolf, including friends, co-workers, and family members four times removed to either surrender or face public execution.
  • For those who find Peter McDowell bothersome, they can shoot his new helicopter down. (However, he will escape to annoy Michael and Jody another day.) You can also unlock a humorous bestiary entry on his news helicopter and there's an achievement in the XD remaster for taking his helicopter down a certain number of times.
• Many scenes involving Richard Hawk, such as:
  • Richard greeting Michael in New York with his new pet: a giant spider tank armed with an energy wave phaser rampaging throughout Manhattan.
  • Antagonizing Michael on Liberty Island as he sends out a massive unmanned battle tank to destroy the Statue of Liberty with Jody and Michael's co-workers taken hostage and perched on the torch, then leaves him for dead while his tank deals with Metal Wolf because it was time for his afternoon tea.
  • During their showdown in Las Vegas, Richard at one point hams up the feud by taunting Michael like a school bully and starts calling him a chicken.
• Some of the game's joke weapons, which may have been put there for laughs or wreak even more mayhem than your standard weapons, of which includes:
  • A grenade launcher that fires bouncing footballs that explodes on contact, and the weapon itself is painted to resemble the American flag.
  • A sniper cannon that shoots quick-firing baseballs, and the cannon is made of wood like a baseball bat. You can even hear Michael shout "STRIKE!" when he fires it.
  • A Gatling gun that fires a barrage of wooden arrows.
  • A party cracker shotgun so you can really party with the coup d'etat forces.
  • A brightly colored elephant-shaped bubble blower that douses enemies in torrent of bubbles.
  • A shark-shaped missile launcher that fires homing shark missiles that freezes enemies.
  • A pirate cannon that fires cannonballs that create huge explosions.
  • A fireworks multi-missile launcher that showers enemies with festive explosions.
  • A dragon-shaped railgun that fires homing dragons.
  • The handguns and assault riffles with the "PA" suffix fire paintballs instead of live ammo, yet these can not only lay waste to simple infantry troops, but the paintballs can boost your Burst Gauge's fill rate, allowing one to prep Blaze Attacks even faster than other weapons.
