  • This exchange:
    Strong Bad: I hear the Cold Ones here are pretty good.
    Tycho: Aren't you, like, ten?
    Strong Bad: You, shut face. They also shake up some decent... bananaang. Banang. Banaaa-aaang. Baaaaa-
    Max: STOP IT!
    ...
    Strong Bad:...nang.
  • When the Heavy gives an increasingly brutal story of how he dealt with an Engineer as if building up to a joke. The reactions of the other three players are priceless!
    Strong Bad: (after a beat) That is some bleeped-up bleep, man!!!
    • When the story gets violent, Tycho responds by saying "Christ!" The above video on YouTube interrupts the dialogue with the player winning the hand, resulting in Tycho resuming the conversation as such...
      Tycho: Where was I? Oh...Christ!
    • Just goes to show how, even among this group of psychopaths, the Heavy takes the cake for being the most Ax-Crazy. Max sees it perfectly moral to set kittens on fire, and even HE was stunned speechless.
  • One response by Tycho if you beat him one-on-one.
    Tycho: I commend your restraint. Gabe would be showing me his balls... unless you're planning to do that now.
  • Tycho busting out and deciding to reach for a granola bar in his pants to comfort himself leads to a hilarious situation where all the other character misinterpret the action as reaching for a gun and try to shoot them. Cue them aiming their guns at him in defense, then reeling back as they realize their error. Except Strong Bad, who demands Tycho to hand over the granola bar anyway. Tycho refuses, and walks away. As a bonus, if you listen closely, there are four distinct "gun draw" noises that get played in that scene, implying the player also pulled a gun on Tycho.
  • Tycho talking to Max about...giraffes.
  • Strong Bad singing "This suuucks!" before folding. Also, in the same context, "Aw, man! These cards is bloke!"
  • Heavy recalling the Russian version of "The Gambler".
    Heavy: You must know when to hold onto your cards, and you must know when to burn them in fire. Because if you lose you bring insufferable shame to Republic and are sent to a work camp in forest.
  • The Heavy deduces from Tycho's usage of hand cream that Tycho is a Spy. Heavy doesn't like spies...
    Heavy: You have hands like young girl!
    Tycho: I got a regimen, yo. I keep them shits moist.
    Heavy: So you are more of sneaky, stabbing type?
    Tycho: In an extreme cirsumstance, maybe. Or if someone's being a huge asshole.
    Heavy: ...I keep my eyes on you.
    Tycho: Nononono! I wasn't implying...
    Heavy: [Gives him a ridiculously angry face]
    Tycho: ...shit.
  • When the Heavy loses with a good hand and a considerable stake in the pot, he gets understandably and visibly angry. He then proceeds to flip the table and spin up his minigun while roaring one of his inarticulate battle cries…before suddenly cutting back to Heavy calmly sitting back at the table and requesting a new hand like nothing happened.
  • Strong Bad's victory song.
  • When having a showdown with Max, if a card comes down that causes him to lose or that helps the player, Max will sometimes give out an oddly cheerful shout of "Frustration".
    • Max says "Make a calm and rational decision!!!" in a (perhaps intentionally) stressed and unnerving voice, and he's got an aggressive look on his face to go with it.
  • Tycho and Strong Bad discussing drinks:
    Strong Bad: What's your poison, nerd-monger?
    Tycho: A gin-fizz, depending on the occasion.
    Strong Bad: Ha! You're a girl. You pledged to a sorority in college, and you learned to make that drink there.
  • When Strong Bad and Tycho discuss video games, Strong Bad mentions this gem of a title: Snake-Boxer VI: Now the Snakes Have Fists Too. Tycho says that he can see where that would be more challenging.
    Strong Bad: That's the point!
  • Max's response to Tycho in this clip.
  • When Totalbiscuit did a pair of "WTF is" videos on this game and ended up with the Heavy as his final opponent, there was a particularly funny exchange between the two in this video.
    Totalbiscuit: Do you have the testicular fortitude Heavy? Will you risk everything?
    Heavy Weapons Guy: NO! [*folds*]
  • Personal favorite:
    Tycho: So Heavy, find any rare drops lately?
    Heavy: I do not understand.
    Tycho: When you get a kill, sometimes you get a present, right?
    Heavy: When I get kill, I get honor of team! ... Sometimes, I also get nightmares. A man does not go home to his wife and children.
    Tycho: So... no loot then?
    Heavy: OH! You mean HAT! Yes, I LOVE hats! Sometimes I get these!
    Heavy: (Creepy stare towards camera and large smile) They are the best!
  • Bad hands?
    Heavy: These cards are weak, like BLU baby team! *folds*
    ...
    Tycho: *flatly* Fuck this shit. *folds*
  • If you take too long to make your move:
    Max: It's boring times like these that make me sit back and ponder life's intricacies. Like why do my nipples exist? I don't even use them that much anymore.
  • This conversation:
    Max: I fold... WAIT! What's the one where I bet my stupidly large pile of chips all at once?
    Tycho: That's going "all in".
    Max: *excitedly* Yeah that! I wanna do that!
  • "I'm supposed to tell you that's a great hand, but all I wanna do is this!" Cue armpit farts.
  • Strong Bad's bad hand animation is a Head Desk, but he doesn't always fold.
    Strong Bad: (Bangs head against the table several times)
    (Beat)
    Strong Bad: Raise.
    • Better yet, he can do this DURING A CONVERSATION. He'll be talking to Tycho about how he thinks Penny Arcade is a crappy website, and suddenly just start hitting his head on the desk before continuing to play anyway.
  • This exchange between Max and Tycho:
    Tycho: Do you know the etymology of the word "flop"?
    Max: Nope!
    Tycho: In the early 1600s, it was when the King would take a shit on a peasant. I fold.
  • Any conversation with Tycho's bestial perversions being revealed mid-match, most notable with this exchance
    Tycho: Hey, Max, remember when you found that machine and went back to 1964 and met Momma Bosco?
    Max: Yeah!
    Tycho: Out of curiosity, did anything happen with that?
    Max: Well, Sam and I jumped through time and encountered a cow-hybrid version of Bosco on a spaceship.
    Tycho: No, I meant with Momma Bosco. Like, between you and her.
    Max: Uh...
    Tycho: You know, did you guys get down to anything "untoward?" Or "toward," even? Maybe while Sam was in the time machine? You can tell me; I'll put it in the vault. Deep in the vault.
    Max: [Audibly shocked] ...are you asking me if I ever schtupped Momma Bosco?
    Tycho: No? Never mind then.
  • Tycho's snarkisms when he's busted out:
    Tycho: Ladies, gents, it's been an honor. Also, go fuck your respective selves.
  • In a call-back to the classic running gag of "Strong Bad E-Mail"...
    Heavy: Strong and Bad, how is boxing career?
    Strong Bad: THESE. ARE. MY. HAAAANDS!
