History Funny / TotalWarWarhammer

** Another Grudge that pops up after fighting the Vampire Counts concerns a group of Dawi merchants who were murdered and raised as undead thralls… because the vampires wanted to perform a play that required dwarfen “actors”. For their part, the Dwarfs seem to take more offence at the vampires' particularly awful choice for the play instead of the whole "murdered Dawi" issue, in an almost un-Dwarfish display of odd priorities.
-->Their bodies have been risen and made to preform a dread revel; a puppet re-enactment of Jeager’s travesty of a play, ''“Stoutheart Beardcomber and the Ostlander’s Wife".'' A terrible Grudge, for it is indeed a terrible play!

--> "Ouch! He headbutted me in the groin!"
** You might also hear: "Stabby time!"
* As traits are still assigned to characters as they were in previous games, the various legendary lords can gain traits which are hilariously out of character. Examples include Grimgor Ironhide deciding to become a farmer and Mannfred von Carstein developing a fear of vampires.
** And the descriptions for them are full of snark. For example, some describing characters in general (full of life, regal, etc.) often end with "We'll see how long that lasts."
--> Enchanter: "Famed for his mastery of magic. Also his extreme arrogance and pedantry. Certainly bullied as a child."
--> Lucky: "Finally made some armour saves, did you?"

--> '''The Armor of Gork'''; ''Bashed together out of the blackest metals of the underground together with the reforged suits of slain stunties, this armor is thick, heavy, and said to be blessed by Gork himself! Well... he spit on it anyway.''
--> '''Battleaxe of the Last Waaagh!'''; The infamous event known as Ragnarok will see the world destroyed in an orgy of fire and slaughter at the hands of the Greenskins. This is rumored to be the Axe that will kick it all off. Best swing it with caution... or not!

--> Go! Pillage! Burn! And be the beautiful, brutal goats you all know you are in your hearts.

* When Vlad von Carstein was announced for the third free DLC, one information about him was that he gives Vanguard Deployment to EVERYONE IN HIS ARMY. People quickly caught on this and deduced that [[Tabletopgame/Warhammer40000 Creed]] taught him how to turn his UNPARALLELED SKILLS IN NECROMANCY into TACTICAL GENIUS. This almost completely negates the slow movement of zombies and the Vampire Counts' lack of missile units. Also it's hilarious to see an army of undead appearing right from the flanks or behind and seeing your enemy simply losing it.
** [[MemeticMutation "When did that entire undead army get there while I was looking away for five minutes? The commander of this army must be some unparalleled practitioner of the dark ar-VLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!" ]]
* In ''The King and The Warlord'' DLC, both the Dwarfs and the Goblins decided to incorporate a special middle finger to the opposing faction with the help of their respective Regiments of Renown, the Gob-Lobber (a Grudge Thrower that launches [[AbnormalAmmo a rock with a screaming night goblin tied to it]].) and the Loonies of Eight Peaks (Night Goblin Fanatics who use a [[GrievousHarmWithABody Dwarf tied to a chain as a weapon]]).
** The same DLC gives us Squig Hoppers as a Greenskin light cavalry unit - while the base concept of a deranged goblin riding, or rather trying to hold onto a bouncing mouth-with-legs as it scrambles towards the enemy, is funny enough what really sells their comedy value is one of their death animations where the last spasm of the Squig sends both parties into the air with the goblin reaching the ground first only to be crushed by the descending Squig corpse. Complete with slowly-relaxing extended arms.

-->"Treemen are not permitted to hold positions on the Elven Council. ''What tree racism is this!?''"

--> I’m sure wood elves are lovely folks but I know if I ever see one, there’s no way I’m not ending up mulched around a sapling. If that sounds a lark to you, hey, the Wood Elves have arrived!
* The Old World Edition patch notes gave us this gem:
--> Orion, The King In The Woods, has issued a proclamation throughout Athel Loren denying his resemblance to Mel Gibson.
* A rare Gem, given how far apart the factions start, but the "ask for peace" message from the Norscans to the Orcs is particularly good:
--> ''"We don't want peace with you Orc - we just want you to fight [=SOMETHING ELSE=]!"''

--> ''"Your vile stench is too much! We are ready for peace!"''

* During one campaign battle for the Greenskins, the game notifies you that a Steam Tank is approaching by saying, "Beware! A tankity tank approaches!"

* During one campaign battle for the Greenskins, the game notifies you that a Steam Tank is approaching by saying, "Beware! A tankity tank approaches!"
* For most people that don't know anything about High Saurian, the Lizardmen language, the war cry "Bok! Bok! Bok!" comes off as being unintentionally funny because it seems to them that ''a big, scary dinosaur-man is supposedly announcing its intent to kill someone by talking like a chicken''.
