History Funny / BorderlandsThePreSequel

-->'''Birthday Cat''': Meow. Where's the party?

----> WHAT HAVE I BECOOOOOOOOOME?!

--> '''Fragtrap''': STOP! TALKING! AND GET IT DONE!

'''Claptrap''': What can I say? It's talent. Some people learn be play b-ball -- I was just born with it. I took it to the hole and I dominated.\\

** The Vault Hunters steadily getting more and more exasperated with the Claptrap trying to open the door. If playing as Claptrap the Fragtrap, he will say this:
---> YOU ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO THE FAMILY!!

--> '''Claptrap''': I may screw up from time to time, but I love myself and that's what really matters!\\

'''Aurelia''': It ''absolutely'' is ''not''!

** First it opens the wrong door, alerting the Lost Legion to their location and forcing the Vault Hunters to fight them off.
** that tries to use two work-arounds to bypass the scan: the Birthday Cat and the Racist Hot Dog. Both are as bizarre and hilarious as you would expect them to be, with the former being incredibly deadpan and as unethusiastic as possible, the second a parody of Texans who have a problem with "Truxican" immigrants.
** In True Vault Hunter Mode, Tiny Tina claims this section is her favourite part so far. Even better is when she asks if the Racist Hot Dog ever comes back and Athena answers her with a flat "No."
*** HilariousInHindsight: Athena's lying and the hot dog makes an appearance in the Claptastic Voyage DLC.
** The Vault Hunters steadily get more and more exasperated with the Claptrap trying to open the door. If playing as Claptrap the Fragtrap, he will say this:

--> '''Claptrap''': O-oh gee! I don't know about that! Integration can be kind of dangerous!\\

** [[DevelopersForesight And why couldn't Claptrap open the door?]] Jack removed his door opening subroutines to make room for [[KillerRobot combat programming]] and [[CantUseStairs stair climbing subroutines.]] He's somewhat upset when informed of the fact:

* While attempting to get into Jack's office, the Clap-trap tries to use two work-arounds to bypass the scan: the Birthday Cat and the Racist Hot Dog. Both are as bizarre and hilarious as you would expect them to be, with the former being incredibly deadpan and as unethusiastic as possible, the second a parody of Texans who have a problem with "Truxican" immigrants.

--->You are a disgrace to Claptraps everywhere.
** How does it finally get the door open? Integrating with the door panel, which involves thrusting its input tray into the machine. It gets electrocuted, overrides the system, and promptly burns out. Your character expresses great relief.

--> '''Athena/Wilhelm''': Uhhhh...?\\

'''Aurelia''': Ah.

'''Wilhelm''': Well was a team effort. I gotta thank you, I gotta give it up to Dunks Watson! And you know I gotta give ''huge'' thanks to my deity The Almighty Robot Policeman! All praise to the prime directives.\\

* There is a quest where you help put up posters for the Concordia People's Front, which appears to be composed of teenage girls and is represented by Rose, an adorably passive-aggressive campaigner described in the game itself as "about as forceful as a puppy made of chocolate". The mission can be failed simply by leaving Triton's Flat or losing out on the timer, and subsequent retries will [[ContinuityNod change to say that they need your help again.]] Instead of the usual "Oh no," that starts the timer, however, repeated tries will get:

-->'''Nisha''': You ''like'' surgery? I thought i was into the dark stuff...\\

** Athena doesn't show fuss over it. She just says that swords are cooler.

-->'''Aurelia''': In his defense, cyborgs ''are'' ludicrously cool.

'''Brick:''' But...jump pads, though.

* She tries to fool her brother by using a fake accent.

** [[DevelopersForesight And why couldn't Claptrap open the door?]] Jack removed his door opening subroutines to make room for [[KillerRobot combat programming]] and [[CantUseStairs stair climbing subroutines.]]
*** He's somewhat upset when informed of the fact:

* The Voice of Hyperion is hacked to say humiliating, stupid things. You are asked to collect door stopper books to expand its vocabulary, with your character commenting on the contents as you pick them up. (Nisha calls them [[TakeThat snooze-fests.]]) When she gives her newfound eloquence a try, Jack immediately asks her to go back to saying "booty souffle."
** Another prompt from the Dahl soldiers has her say "thug life #YOLO." This line in particular is made even more funny because she has to say it as the StepfordSmiler she is.

** At the end of the mission, Claptrap says "Why is the voice in my head saying 'booty souffle'?"

** His quest afterwards from this has him go about trying to "woo" Jack. The disturbing comments, the stupidity of his plans, and watching all his attempts fail horribly make for a good time.

---> Man, it is going to break your heart when I hit that.

* "Fresh Air", the SpiritualSuccessor to the [=BL2=] favorite "Shoot This Guy In The Face". A Hyperion scientist needs your help and claims the lab is a little too stuffy, then goes to open a window to [[TooDumbToLive the cold vacuum of space.]] He gets sucked out, you shut the window and restore pressure, and Dr. Spara proceeds to pay you because [[RuleOfFunny it was awesome.]] The end-of-quest description even says that you'll never know what the actual quest was going to be.
* In "Things That Go Boom", the birth of the EXP Loaders, one of them might randomly go "BOOM BOOM BOOM" and your character will suddenly say "Weyo." with varying degrees of enthusiasm.
** The turn-in dialogue: Tassiter asks why Jack has just submitted a patent for suicidal, exploding robots. Jack's response?
---> Because it would be awesome...?

** In a bit of dark humour, Athena notes that the "kill you and your entire family" bit is both "Excessive. And impossible, in my case."
* Once quest has Tassiter send the Vault Hunters to take evidence that could incriminate Jack from DAHL couriers; naturally, he has incentive for whoever takes the job (although Athena's is nowhere near funny). His reward for Claptrap? "I'll be your best friend." It works immediately.
* A side mission has the Vault Hunters contacted by Sir Hammerlock, asking them to collect some samples of a native species known as 'Moon Threshers', a species unseen on Pandora. Not that funny. What ''is'' funny, is that of the two you send him, he notes one is 'quite fond of slapping', while he names the other one Terry. The implication is that Sir Hammerlock is responsible for not only the rampant population of Threshers on Pandora, but also [[{{VideoGame/Borderlands2}} Terramorphous the Invincible (also known as the oldest Thresher on Pandora) and Old Slappy]], the Thresher that took Hammerlock's own arm and leg. They get bitey soon after they arrive, to which Hammerlock expresses some frustration, but he decides it's not that big a deal because "[[TemptingFate at least they're small]]".

** The line characters blurt with Jack's dry reaction to it makes this quest funnier:

* Early in the game as Jack is leading the Vault Hunter to get down to the moon, Tassiter is arguing with Jack, who pulls a FakeStatic. "Sorry crrk you're breaking fsst losing --... Asshole." Tassiter says "What was that?" "I...called you an asshole because I thought I'd hung up?"
* For the side mission "Boarding Party", Jack has the Vault Hunters look for the four [=ECHO=] logs with information he gathered on them before he hired them (in Fragtrap's case, as he was reprogramming him). When you pick up Wilhelm's [=ECHO=] log, it describes that he is affected by a mild condition called "bone waste" and has had to have his skeleton reinforced. Due to this, he now has an addiction to [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul cybernetic implants]]. If playing as Fragtrap, he'll kid around with Wilhelm with this gem...

-->'''Nisha:''' Nice overalls.

* Janey Springs advances at Athena, even better by how flustered the latter gets, and how she honestly has no idea how to react properly. For instance, when Janey tells a story about how she got a sexy scar on her stomach...

--->It's going to break your heart so bad when I finally hit that.

* The ''Court of Dreams'' and its mission "Boomshakalaka", where you help a Michael Jordan {{Expy}} perform the most epic slam-dunk in the history of Elpis. When you get him his ball, he launches off the jump pad so high he ''achieves escape velocity'' and flies off into the vastness of space.
-->[[BigWordShout BASKETBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]][[TheScream AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]][[OverlyLongGag AAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!]]
** Then you have the option of doing a slam-dunk instead of him, no ball necessary. The optional objective is ''literally'' setting yourself on fire, and in the post-game interview, each character says some rambling faux-motivational speech, as if they were actual basketball pros. The icing on the cake is Tog's sign-off line:

* A very early quest has you make and then deliver inspirational posters for Springs. At first your character seems bewildered only for her to think you don't understand her accent and proceed to talk like a stereotyped Southern American.
--> '''Springs''': "I need y'all to make me some inspirational posters, y'all. Cowboys. Donuts. Homophobia."
** After making the posters, you then are sent to deliver them to Deadlift, who apparently has motivational issues and who you are supposed to be killing right now. You then have them signed by a Scav (who is strangely delighted to do so, wondering if the package has a kitten, a knife, or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs a small kitten holding a knife]]), then you kill him because he's a asshole and proceed to slap the posters all over the place.
-->'''Scav''': "[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Tell me your secrets, knife-kitten]]!"
** You would wonder what's the point of all this if you're just going to kill every single Scav in the camp anyway. Janey's explanation?
---> My customers always get what they paid for, even if you have to shoot them in the sternums while they get it!
** Playing through the sidequest as Claptrap adds another level of hilarity: with each poster he places, his self-esteem rises, [[YankTheDogsChain until the penultimate one trips one of his safeguards]], [[LaserGuidedAmnesia wiping his memory of the whole thing]] to prevent him from becoming self-aware. [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers The final poster uses a cat photo instead]] (Janey overexposed the final batch of photos you took).

* You meet Nakayama in a cell , and release him so he can send an important message to Jack

** One quest involves getting a Claptrap to paint a picture of Jack on a wall in his favourite colour (bright yellow). When he sees the picture, Jack promptly declares that it's awful (which it is) but appreciates the colour. After the end of the quest, the picture will remain on the wall, and the little floor-cleaner-bot that normally patrols the hallway attempts to wipe away the painting by ineffectually bumping into the wall over and over and over and over for ''the entire rest of the game''.
** When turning in the last "Woo Jack" quest as Nisha, she has this to say:
--->It's going to break your heart so bad when I finally hit that.

* A very early quest has you make and then deliver inspirational posters for Springs. At first your character seems bewildered only for her to think you don't understand her accent and proceed to talk like a stereotyped Southern American ending with "Cowboys. Donuts. Homophobia." After making the posters, you then are sent to deliver them to Deadlift, whom apparently has motivational issues and are supposed to be killing right now. You then have them signed by a Scav (who is strangely delighted to do so, wondering if the package has a kitten, a knife, or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs a small kitten holding a knife]]), then you kill him because he's a dick and proceed to slap the posters all over the place.

** You would wonder what's the point of all this if you're just going to kill every single bandit in the camp anyway. Janey's explanation?
--->My customers always get what they paid for, even if you have to shoot them in the sternums while they get it!

--->Because it would be awesome...?

* You meet Nakayama in prison, release him, and go about trying to "woo" Jack. The disturbing comments, the stupidity of his plans, and watching all his attempts fail horribly make for a good time.

** Despite what you might think from reading about, he ''is'' participating. He's just changing his tone enough whenever he says "No". Especially during the last sequence where he has to say something badass.

* During the motivational posters sidequest, she complains that her clothes aren't dark enough.

-->'''JAck''': I hope you die.

--->Ohmagodsohot.

--> '''Tina''': I do not understand your meaning madam. This boy sounds like a ''child''.\\

--> '''Tina:''' Athena, you're real bad at taking compliments.

-->'''Brick''': Stop climbing on me!\\

--->'''Interviewer:''' This has been an extraordinary waste of time. What is the point of you, Wilhelm? What do you even want out of life?\\

** Tina inventing the word "dickalicious" and immediately being horrified and severely grossed out that she had ever said it.

** Tina's reaction to TheReveal that Moxxi is actually a redneck?
--->Ohmagodhot.

-->She leads these jackasses, I think? First person to shoot her in the head gets a high five and a turbo-mansion.

--> '''Brick:''' She thinks she's like thirty, just roll with it.\\

'''Brick:''' You have no idea what that means, do you?\\
'''Tina:''' Quite.

--> '''Tina:''' Athena, you are terrible at taking compliments.
** Made funnier by the fact that this is explicitly not how Athena reacts when Janey complimented her appearance (which is mentioned elsewhere as being adorkably flustered and awkward about it), so Athena is lying about being 'programmed' to not care, possibly to mess with Tina.

'''Axton:''' Watch your damn language, young lady!

--> '''Athena''': ''Noted.''\\
--> '''Nisha''': Cool. Nobody cares.\\
--> '''Doppleganger Jack''': Awesome.

'''Gaige:''' It's a highly technical process requiring skill and pizazz.\\
'''Gaige:''' And, uh, sometimes glue.

'''Gaige:''' Pssht, the Warrior? We killed the f**k out of that thing!

* The Meriff's one line after [[spoiler:his inevitable betrayal and attempt to shoot Jack in the back?]] "I surrender!" [[spoiler:Although what happens then is not funny.]]
* The Bosun's complete and absolute inability to form effective insults along with his absolutely horrid talent for nicknames. He, among other things, threatens to stomp on you with boots made of acid, named his best badass "Poop Deck" because he "kicks so much arse", and his "girlfriend" the Skipper sabotages him at every turn, from insulting his poor choice of insults to [[spoiler:crushing Poop Deck to death via shutting the door on him.]]

** At the end of the mission, [[spoiler:Claptrap says "Why is the voice in my head saying 'booty souffle'?"]]

* You meet expies of [[Franchise/StarWars C3P-0 and R2-D2]] and escort them to deliver a message to Toby Van Adobe for their mistress. What is this message? [[spoiler:That the man took her exfoliating soap, one of three bottles in the known universe, and that she had already found the other two, making the whole trip pointless. "[[{{Feghoot}} Screw you, Toby Van Adobe, you've got my only soap!]]" ]] Even before that is TheUnintelligible R2-D2 parody's supposed potty mouth.

** And if you do the optional objective to check the landing site, [[spoiler:you'll find that he's dead and he's holding some of the real, edible pizza in his hand]]. Jack's last commentary is the cherry on the top of the cake:
--->'''Jack:''' Hehehe, [[spoiler:he died]] cause he liked pizza. Makes you think, though. Or something. I dunno, I just felt like saying something.

** Then it gets really hilarious when he sees her in her [[spoiler: overalls.]]

** Tina asks if Janey is still around, and if they ever "hung out." Athena tries to dodge the question ''incredibly'' poorly and Tiny Tina then proceeds to congratulate her for them getting together, and asks for a high five. [[spoiler:Athena gives her one.]]

** Or this could just be because Athena values her privacy and romantic life more so than other people, as evidenced by her amusingly terrible dodge to the question of if she ever hooked up with [[spoiler:Janey Springs.]]

* Then there's the part in TVHM after [[spoiler:Lilith and Roland try to kill everyone]].
-->'''Tina:''' So no hard feelings for Lilith [[spoiler:trying to kill you]]?\\

'''Tina:''' Damn. That's deep. ''[beat]'' What about the last time [[spoiler:she tried to kill you]]? Like, an hour ago?\\

* All things considered, it's a pretty sad DLC. However, this doesn't make the various representations of Claptrap's psyche any less surreally hilarious. [=SUP4-EG0-TP=] (Superego-Trap) is rendered as an actual superhero with briefs, the representation of his dignity is a QuintessentialBritishGentleman, and then there's the pancake-obsessed [=M4D-TP=]...
* Claptrap accidentally inspired Mr. Torgue to create the Campaign Of Carnage.
* Claptrap accidentally [[spoiler: burned down a church]]. His defense boils down to [[ImplausibleDeniability asking who hasn't done that,]] which may [[TearJerker/BorderlandsThePresequel or may not qualify]] as ComedicSociopathy. While various Vault Hunters express disgust, (Even Willhelm, though whether or not this means he has [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]] or is just annoyed is a good question) [[TokenEvilTeammate Nisha]] [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike actually considers this]] [[ComedicSociopathy a valid defense.]]

** The fact that Wilhelm - a cyborg merc who's OnlyInItForTheMoney - is the only one to neither [[spoiler:burn down any churches]] or condone such an action.
* One of the memories you enter reveals how Claptrap got the Vault Hunter gig in the first place. After the disastrous events that led to the church getting burned down, the only competitors left for the slot were Claptrap and a latecomer, Donk; [[ForegoneConclusion How did Claptrap win the fight, you ask?]] [[spoiler:He immediately activated [=VaultHunter.EXE=] and got the rubber duck Action Package. Donk attempted to come in with a flying kick and got bounced backwards [[ChunkySalsaRule into the grinder]].]] The game even slaps a gigantic censor bar over things when it happens.

* The Vault Hunters initially act confident when [[spoiler: 5H4D0W-TP]] threatens them with the H-Source. When he reveals the [[spoiler: HumongousMecha Eclipse,]] they are... [[OhCrap less confident.]] To quote Nisha:
-->[[spoiler: '''5H4D0W-TP:''']] I'll tap into the power of the H-Source!\\
'''Nisha:''' Like I care! [[spoiler:''(Eclipse]] appears)'' Ah, [[PrecisionFStrike F***!]]
* [[spoiler: The Vault Hunters defeating 5H4D0W-TP in his EOS form and complaining about not getting a legendary drop from him. Cue 5H4D0W-TP throwing out a legendary weapon while giving the Vault Hunters a [[BlowingARaspberry raspberry.]]]]
-->'''Nisha:''' [[spoiler: WHERE'S THE FUCKING LEGENDARY?]]

** Which takes on some FridgeHorror once you've beaten the game, and [[spoiler: Lilith tries to have Athena executed.]] Because the only thing worse than a [[ShaggyDogStory long, rambly, tangent-saturated story]] about your nemesis' StartOfDarkness is a long, rambly, tangent-saturated story about your nemesis' StartOfDarkness [[spoiler: that blames you for it.]]

---> '''Scav:''' Ah crap. I didn't think you'd actually come!

--> '''Scav:''' Ah crap. I didn't think you'd actually come!

-->Main engine jettisoned! Switching to crappy emergency power!

-->You are a disgrace to Claptraps everywhere.

--> WHAT HAVE I BECOOOOOOOOOME?!

-->'''Tog:''' Back to you, voice in my head!

-->'''Nisha:''' *Cheerily* I guess when love comes it just bludgeons you together anyway. Congrats!

-->It's going to break your heart so bad when I finally hit that.

-->My customers always get what they paid for, even if you have to shoot them in the sternums while they get it!

-->Because it would be awesome...?

-->'''Dahl Soldier''': *Upon discovering the Zaford beer kegs and some the pizza was a hologram* THIS PIZZA ISN'T EVEN REAL!

-->'''Dahl Soldier''': *As you fend off his buddies* NOBODY LIES TO ME ABOUT PIZZA! NOBODY!

--->'''Athena:''' Would you like to be shot out of a cannon at several hundred miles per hour?
--->'''Doppelganger:''' Hey, uh-- do you wanna jump into a Moonshot Cannon and be fired at a planet?
--->'''Wilhelm:''' Wanna get fired out of a big-ass gun? You'll probably die!
--->'''Claptrap:''' Would YOU like the opportunity to scream through the skies at hundreds of miles per hour courtesy of the Helios Moonshot Cannon?
--->'''Jack:''' Alright, fair enough. I guess when you put it ''that way'' it does sound like a stupid-ass idea. Just... find a way to get him into the moonshot shell. I don't care how you do it.

--> '''Interviewer:''' What about the man you are now? Who is Wilhelm the Enforcer? What drives him? What are his likes, his dislikes? Please give me an answer which does not include the word "fights".
--> '''Wilhelm:''' I like steak and robots.

--> '''Interviewer:''' This has been an extraordinary waste of time. What is the point of you, Wilhelm? What do you even want out of life?
--> '''Wilhelm:''' I'm really good at killing people. I wanna be a robot.
--> '''Interviewer:''' That's pretty weird.

-->'''Jack:''' Hey Wilhelm, wanna come to the moon and hunt a Vault for me?
-->'''Wilhelm:''' No.
-->'''Jack:''' Come on, I'll pay you a couple million dollars.
-->'''Wilhelm:''' Okay. ''(End recording)''
-->'''Wilhelm''' Yep. That's my backstory.

-->Deploy hologram / Invisibility rocks / How many syllables?

-->'''Minitrap''': Knock knock!
-->'''Claptrap''': Who's there?
-->'''Minitrap''': Wub.
-->'''Claptrap''': Wub who?
-->'''Minitrap''': [[CallForward Wubwubwubwubwub]].
-->'''Claptrap''': You're dead to me.

--> '''Aurelia:''' "Hang on, I feel incredibly happy all of a sudden! Alistair must be in pain!"

--> '''Brick''': He's kind of a dick.
--> '''Tina''': Mmmm, dickalicious. Ew. Ew! Why did I say that? Ew ew ew!

'''Brick''': Not unless you wanna die. [[GameBreaker Or you found a broken-ass combination of loot]] [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall and want to show off on the ]][=ECHOnet.=]

-->"For small fee, Nina '''crush''' pain out of you!"
-->"Don't die before you pay me."
-->"Come back when dying!"
--> "Don't die. You good for business."

-->"You ain't no kinda soldier until you've died at least once".
-->"Dying's good fer ya! It puts hair on yer chest!"
-->"YOU WILL FIND NO PEACE IN DEATH, MAGGOT!"
-->"[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Dying is a crime punishable by death!]]"
-->"Dying is just God's way of making you angrier! YOU ANGRY YET, SOLDIER?"
-->"Get out of here, soldier, I don't want to see you for a while!"
-->"Remember, DAHL OWNS YOUR BODY AND SOUL! Assuming you have one."
-->"DOUBLE-TIME! HUT HUT!"
-->"THERE IS NO AFTERLIFE, ONLY AN ETERNITY OF DUTY!"

--> '''Gaige''': How about that, DT? You're descended, sort-of, from a badass military AI!
--> '''Deathtrap''': (Happy purr)

-->'''Athena:''' It turned out that the Eye of Helios, over which we were fighting to regain control, was actually the Eye of the Destroyer.
-->'''Axton:''' The Destroyer? That crazy blob of tentacles and hatred?
-->'''Athena:''' To which OTHER crazy blob of tentacles and hatred would I be referring?
-->'''Gaige:''' His ''ex-fiancée''!
-->'''Axton:''' That was harsh! Sarah wasn't mean, she just... I dunno...

--> ''DENIAL SUBROUTINE (no its not...)''

-->[[spoiler: '''5H4D0W-TP:''']] I'll tap into the power of the H-Source!
-->'''Nisha:''' Like I care! [[spoiler:''(Eclipse]] appears)'' Ah, [[PrecisionFStrike F***!]]

-->Nothing, apart from the vaguely orgasmic grunts I'll be making as I crush your windpipe with my thumbs. And I guess the "oh wow, you're the best" noises your loved ones will be making as they cheer me on. And the sloppy, wet sound of me subsequently making out with your loved ones. And the sloppy, wet sound of me subsequently killing your loved ones.
