Promotional Material:

  • The entire announcement trailer is this in itself. Such highlights include:
    • It seems that without Batman, the Joker, or Poison Ivy around, Harley Quinn has managed to loosen up a bit. She's goofing off, pretending that her hand is a soldier in the midst of a dangerous mission... all the while Metropolis is getting utterly razed.
    • This exchange:
      Captain Boomerang: Keep it down, Harl. Me ears is still ringin' after that last barney.
      Deadshot: What's that? Australian for hangover?
      (Boomerang flips Deadshot off)
    • Harley, Shark and Boomerang have long grown tired of Deadshot's oft-repeated mantra:
      Deadshot: I never—
      King Shark: You never miss.
      Harley: [Mockingly] "I never miss!"
      Captain Boomerang: You never miss. Yeah, yeah, we bloody know, YOU NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT IT!
    • The Squad realizing that their target is none other than Superman, their reactions being precisely what you'd expect.
      Captain Boomerang: So, figure out who we're killing yet?
      [Harley, Deadshot, and King Shark quietly point at Superman]
      Captain Boomerang: ...ohhhh FU-
      • While Harley and King Shark still stare at Superman in horror, Deadshot takes a glance at Captain Boomerang as if saying "He's right there, dumbass!"
    • On a related note, Captain Boomerang trying to knock Supes out with his boomerang, which he blames on King Shark.
  • Calling +1 (310) 564-7047 will give you pre-recorded messages of Amanda Waller berating the squad — mostly serious except for Harley, who she berates for prank calling the line and screwing around. But then, it culminates in a message from the "whole" Squad:
    Deadshot: If you're looking for Amanda Waller of ARGUS, you're too late. Task Force X has taken charge of this line.
    Harley: Ooooooh, you orderin' a pizza? I'll have me some pepperoni!
    Deadshot: What?! Harley? I'm talking to the government.
    Harley: Okayyy, sorry, government pepperoni! Sheesh.
    King Shark: No anchovies!
    Deadshot: No, I — d — nobody is getting pizza. [Clears throat; quickly] Listen, whoever's calling, you need to know that from now on, you're answering to the Suicide Squad, and we're calling the shots. See, we got Harley Quinn: Clown Princess of Crime...
    Harley: Oh, hi!
    Deadshot: We got King Shark: Terror of the Deep...
    King Shark: [Pleasantly] Hello.
    Deadshot: And we got Captain Boomerang, th...
    [Beat]
    Deadshot: [Sighs] ...Where's Boomerang?
    Harley: Eh, got stuck in the dumpster again. Ya gotta vamp.
    Deadshot: What?! Why is he in the —
    King Shark: [Loudly, from a distance] HE IS LOOKING FOR BOOMERANGS!
    Deadshot: LOOK. We also have Boomerang. He's —
    King Shark: [Attempting an accent that does not sound like anything but his own voice] Uh, b-b-buh, g'day mates. It is I, errr, ah, Captain Boomerang.
    Harley: [With delight] Oooooh, good job!
    [Deadshot heaves a frustrated sigh]
    Deadshot: I'm DONE.
    [Message hangs up]
  • The story trailer, as expected, is chock-full of jokes:
    • Gizmo offers his rather blunt appraisal of the Squad.
      "Lemme take a look atcha. [Studying Deadshot] A musclehead... [Harley] A nutjob... [King Shark] Something that offends my EYES... [Boomerang] And a homeless person."
      [He beams from ear to ear]
      "You're PERFECT."
    • The team watches Penguin, who's also been chipped by ARGUS, attempt to waddle away from them in a panic. They of course use this as an excuse to mercilessly electrocute him, for kicks.
    Harley: Waller: the Penguin is in flight. I repeat, the Penguin is in flight.
    Waller: [Over comms] Then let's clip his wings.
    [Penguin's implant zaps him and he collapses, unconscious]
    Harley: Oh, my God! He's gettin' up!
    Waller: Hitting him again.
    [Penguin is zapped a second time, his body limply twitching]
    Boomerang: He's right out the door! Somebody stop him!
    [As Oswald is zapped a third time, King Shark chuckles and Boomer holds his hand up for a high-five from Deadshot, who ultimately grins and returns it]
    Waller: Did that get him?!
    King Shark: [Excitably] U-uh, NO! Uh, it, very much did NOT get him! Uh, Waller, WALLER... BLOW UP HIS HEAD!
    [He braces like this is going to make everyone laugh, but Harley just groans, as if he's gone too far and spoiled the fun]
    • Harley sees a LexCorp scientist's head get blown off and calmly tells King Shark that "he's not gonna make it". Tara Strong's delivery is just perfect.
  • Capt Boomerang opens the Gameplay trailer by ripping out his nemesis Barry Allen. He even wishes he could have had Batman, Green Lantern or Wonder Woman as his nemesis, but he has to put up with the Flash.
    • Later in that trailer, Deadshot tries to shoot The Flash. Considering he's The Flash, he effortlessly dodges the bullet and repositions himself behind Deadshot before anyone can even react, sarcastically asking "Did you get him?" while bouncing up and down like a child excited to open a Christmas present. When Harley (an objectively worse shot compared to hyper-skilled Floyd) pulls out her revolver and tries to shoot Flash a second time, Flash responds with a mix of incredulity and annoyance.
      The Flash: Really?! Why don't you just mail me the bullet?!

Gameplay:

  • King Shark is a literal Fish out of Water in addition to being The Comically Serious and Literal-Minded. This combination naturally leads to no shortage of hilarious instances with his often confused, but otherwise entirely deadpan, reactions to many of the insane scenarios the team find themselves in over the course of the story, such as his disappointment that the Penguin is not actually a humanoid penguin as Shark expected.
  • During a flashback to the teams recruitment Waller tricks them into injecting each other with the nanites, leading to a comical freeze frame montage of them fighting each other.
  • After Waller tazes the team into unconsciousness, they wake up on a train heading into Metropolis for their mission. When the train suddenly begins to derail upon arriving in Metropolis, the three male team members (Deadshot, King Shark, and Boomerang) are appropriately panicked about the ensuing crash. Harley, on the other hand, holds her hands up and cheers as if she were on a rollercoaster.
  • When Wonder Woman is interrogating Boomerang, she steps on him and, in the background, you can hear Harley excitedly asking Wonder Woman to step on her next.
  • At Lexcorp Luthor kills a scientist by an Explosive Leash as he's standing next to Waller causing her to be splattered in gore, at the end of the scene an A.R.G.U.S. soldier awkwardly hands her a hanky.
  • The fact that The Riddler is back YET AGAIN to the Suicide squad's annoyance.
  • Turns out Luthor managed to bring Poison Ivy Back from the Dead as a Bratty Half-Pint.
    • After coming back to base Ivy is in Penguins weapons lab, Oswald is so annoyed with her that he asks Harley to Mercy Kill him which Harley almost does.
    • Also, Penguin is dressed as The Generalissimo.
  • Before the Flash Boss Fight Captain Boomerang tries to lure Flash in by taunting him which leads to several funny moments:
    • It turns out Boomerang is using a phone he stole from Amanda Waller which she's pissed about.
    • Boomerang makes a comment about how dissapointing it is that his fanbase is mostly male.
  • After killing the Flash, King Shark tries eulogizing him for being a noble warrior, which gets interrupted by Captain Boomerang walking up to piss on his corpse. Deadshot stops him and is about to admonish him for it but is distracted by the size of his penis and is moved to congratulate him instead. In the background, Harley sneaks a peek and honors Boomer with a stern-faced salute.
  • After the Flash Boss Fight the Squad briefly end up on Earth 2 which has its own Luthor. It turns out Boomerang wasn't paying attention and doesn't get how Luthor is still alive but assumes Time Travel when asked. Earth 2 Luthor says that his worlds Lady Boomerang was faster on the uptake, what makes it funnier is that his wistful tone implies Earth 2 Luthor and Lady Boomerang were a couple.
  • In one of the tapes available to collect you can hear Batman recording his segment of the Justice Day hologram's and subsequently hear him trail off before asking what his line is. That's right, you're listening to a Bat-blooper.
  • When regular Kryptonite fails to kill Superman Earth 2 Luthor chimes in with a plan over the teams comms, the problem is that the team is in the room with Waller, they're trying to keep Luthor's involvement a secret for now and Captain Boomerang draws attention to the conversation, leading to Luthor having to explain his plan to stop Superman to Waller and make it look like it was Boomerangs idea... and somehow she actually gets fooled.
  • Between Brainiac's muscular gray body, his personality, his accent and the fact that he's an alien invader fighting a group of criminals in a Wide-Open Sandbox game it becomes funny to think he resembles Emperor Zinyak.
  • After Gizmo finds out about the Alternate Luthor he calls him "Lex Luthor 2: The Even Shittier Sequel."
  • When confronting Brainiac, King Shark gives us this refreshingly honest attempt at a Pre Mortem Oneliner:
    Any last words, tyrant? And make them memorable! Because this group is easily distracted!
