* Several characters in the roster wonder out loud what Zenyatta did before the Crisis, and all his possible answers are all hilariously non-sensical, as according to the man himself, he has either collected tickets for a laser tag arena, was a water park lifeguard, drove a tractor, served coffee or [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers massaged sheep on a free range pasture]]. What acts as the kicker is that if Genji or Ramattra are on the team, they reveal that they also have no idea what Zenyatta was like in the past.

** Bastion responds with an elephant sound. Hopefully Ganymede doesn't get too jealous...
** Roadhog, whose pig motif is arguably the most pronounced AnimalMotif in the entire cast... actually states his favorite animal is ''Pachimari''.
** On the flip side, some characters' answers are [[CaptainObviousReveal exactly what you think they'd be:]] Mei likes penguins, Widowmaker likes the black widow, and Kiriko simply answers "Really? Take a guess".
