History Funny / DevilMayCry5

If you head into the Gallery and into Nico's Reports, it has all of the info on the characters and various enemies of the game written by Nico herself. Some of her reports are gold:
* Nero: Nico notes that he's the proprietor of Devil May Cry, the finest mobile business in Fortuna. She compliments herself on fixing him up with "bitchin' hardware" and thinks he's grateful, but is "just too shy to say thank you. I get it". She also talks on Nero being able to still fight better with one arm than other people with three, but then says "takin' on the new demon king minus your good arm ain't exactly the height of common sense"...and then flips to note that it gave her the opportunity to dream up the Devil Breaker!
* V's Familiars: As she describes Griffon's capabilities, she ends it off with [[DoubleEntendre "I sure as heck can't find out anything more about this pecker".]] As for Shadow, she notes that it wouldn't play nice with humans, but with V it's "as meek as a buttercup in the breeze. And don't tell me it's just cause V's good with animals."
* Nico: She starts off by calling herself "God's gift to gunsmithin' and the queen of machines", boasting about her Grandma Nell Goldstein and wondering whether Nero realizes how lucky he is to be partnered up with her. She also comments on her other attires, her work attire making her feel like she's "donnin' the holy vestments of the church of the gun. And I am ALWAYS ready to preach!" and her Fatigues wear having her note how she takes precautions because "more than once I've been fiddlin' with the vitals of some netherbeast only to have them blow up in my face", before talking about how her face deserves protection and [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall how hiding them "makes y'all a little sad, but hey, absence makes the heart grow fonder."]]
* Death Scissors has her note that being a master engineer means you've got to have a profound respect for the laws of physics... then she notes that when one of them drifts through the walls, it gets on her nerves.
* Qliphoth Roots has her note how their skin is so thick that it takes hours working on them to actually cut through, before noting "what other kind of plant could survive in the underworld".
* Kyrie's profile in the Library has Nico talking [[AmbiguouslyBi about how beautiful she is]] before saying "She'd be beating the boys back with a stick if it wasn't for Nero".
* Lady's profile has Nico note that she's never seen Lady do anything that didn't involve killing demons, before saying "she's kinda messed up", which is kinda a case of "the pot calling the kettle black" given Nico's [[NightmareFetishist gushing over Artemis and other demonic things she can make]]. Lady's fatigues description has Nico saying if fell onto her shoulders to "keep [Lady's] assets safe from pryin' eyes". She also guesses that Nero would've enjoyed seeing her in something flashier, but "round here you're thankful for what you can get".
* Trish's profile has Nico recalling a comment Trish made on Nero, saying [[DoubleEntendre "He was so inexperienced when he first met me"]] before Nico proceeds to ask [[CovertPervert "Now what's that supposed to mean?"]]
* Nico's Weapon Reports on certain Devil Breaker arms also tell how she came up with their designs in the first place. Her "inspirations" can be a little weird and hilarious at times.
** Gerbera:
--->'''Nico:''' I thought up this beauty while gazing at a bed of flowers— African daisies, to be precise. What? Can't a girl have a little grace in her gear box!?
** Helter Skelter:
--->'''Nico:''' There was this weird slide in the park near my house when I was a kid, see? That's where I got the inspiration for this design.

* If you head into the Gallery and into Nico's Reports, it has all of the info on the characters and various enemies of the game written by Nico herself. Some of her reports are gold.

* There's a FunnyBackgroundEvent in the beginning; Nico and the "[[InSeriesNickname Crew Cut]]" soldier are watching Nero fight the Empusas, although you have to wait for a while and adjust the camera to see the hilarious part. Nico helps Crew Cut stand, then pushes him toward the nearby concrete barrier, causing him to trip awkwardly.

* This comment from Nico which is triggered if you stay idle in the beginning of the stage or try to walk back to the van.

** Dante has him form a heart using his own Summoned Swords and brush his hair back like Vergil does during his win pose and smugly smirk at the camera. It's easy to picture Vergil being mildly unamused at the scene.
** Nero's has him basically recreating Vergil's infamous 'I need more power!', only he says ''he's'' the one with it. It's hard not to laugh at his [[https://youtu.be/K-39YafDxDs?t=33 shit-eating grin]] while delivering the line, especially since he's doing so right in front of a keeled-over Vergil.
** V's turns his cane into what is effectively a [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber]]. The best part? Beating the mode unlocks them as taunts, ''and'' V's version also acts as a minor but still somewhat noticeable buff to his cane's damage.

** Then there's the fact that the taunt where he spins a spectral Force Edge (now called Mirage Edge here) in the air to juggle an enemy makes its glorious return from ''Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition''!

-->'''Griffon''': Right sunshine, now put a fire under it! We gotta get moving! That annoying pimple Nero is making a bee line for Urizen and if he gets there he’s gonna -- URK! ''[snatched at the neck by Dante and then tossed]'' -- SQUASHED LIKE A BUG!!!

* Hey, are you a ''Devil May Cry'' player that's so good, you make bosses look like child's play? Well, good news! If you somehow beat Urizen IN THE PROLOGUE (Especially with the weakened Nero you have at the beginning!), you are treated to a secret ending where everyone lives happily ever after and Urizen is [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain treated as a joke]]. The guy who singlehandedly ruined Red Grave city? Just a stepping stone for you to see the crew in a family photo. Of somewhat special note is the CreditsGag, where the credits play at a super fast speed. It's really interesting that the [[DevelopersForesight devs have thought of the possibility]] that players might win a [[HopelessBossFight boss fight where you are supposed to lose]].

* Just like in the Prologue, you can completely defeat Urizen in this mission even if his second phase is meant to be a HopelessBossFight. In doing so, the game will treat you with the same fast-scrolling credits.

* On the side of the van Nico drives has the phone number "6-MY-GOD-099" underneath Nero's Devil May Cry neon sign.
* Some bits of the conversation between Nero and Nico [[EstablishingCharacterMoment already demonstrate]] their friendly banters and VitriolicBestBuds dynamic.

** When Nero spots demons in front of them, he informs Nico and we get this exchange:

* It's part-awesome and part-FunnyBackgroundEvent, but when Nero's bullets hit a sign during the slow-motion shoot-out sequence, the sign's trajectory is altered yet it still manages to hit another Empusa's head in the background.
* After Nero lights up Nico's new cigarette and they drive off, there's a disclaimer subtitle at the bottom that says:

-->'''Nero:''' That's the floor's fault, not mine.

-->'''Nero:''' Demons helping each other out? What's the world coming into?

* The [[https://youtu.be/CNFoFNcd1Ws?t=113 cutscene]] where Dante gets the Faust Hat is just ''gold'', outdoing Nevan and Lucifer's cutscenes in terms of sheer cheesiness. How, you ask? Why, by Dante channeling Music/MichaelJackson and pulling off a brief dance routine that wouldn't be out of place in one of his music videos after manifesting a scarf of demonic energy, complete with moonwalking, pyrotechnics, and the neon "Devil May Cry" sign on Nico's van flashing in the background. Nico, who gave him the hat as a gift, looks like a little kid who just met her idol and is cheering for him, while Trish just stands there, [[TheComicallySerious absolutely stonefaced]] and probably ''very'' glad she isn't actually Dante's mother. Somebody had to mocap Dante doing this. That somebody is now a ''legend''. Seriously, just try to keep a straight face when Dante gets the Faust Hat as pictured above. Oh, and did we mention that this happens ''deep inside the Qliphoth''? Imagine Urizen's reaction when the tree responds to the hat and dance, ala Ronan the Accuser's utter confusion at the [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy dance-off]].

* One of Dante's new weapons is the Faust Hat which causes him to go into a ridiculously campy stance when wearing it.
** On top of this, the Faust Hat can be seen as a dual TakeThat in two respects. The first is towards the infamous ''[=DmC=]'' presentation event at [[https://youtu.be/b_Pz8WiEW4U?t=103 GDC 2013]], where art director Alessandro Taini thought the original Dante was too flamboyant and [[UnfortunateImplications negatively compared him to the cowboys]] from ''Film/BrokebackMountain''. The second was people assuming that Red Orbs being purchasable via micro-transactions would mean that the game would be understocked with them to ensure that people bought them as in-game currency. Now not only is one of Dante's weapons a cowboy hat that he wears ''exceedingly'' flamboyantly, but Red Orbs are easy enough to acquire that they serve as the Faust Hat's ''ammunition''.

-->'''Nero:''' It's the floor's fault, not mine.

* After Nero lights up Nico's new cigarette and they drive off, there's a disclaimer at the bottom that says:

* Hey, are you a ''Devil May Cry'' player that's so good, you make bosses look like child's play? Well, good news!

** If you replay this mission after beating the game and get the S-rank, one of the [[https://twitter.com/An_ca_te/status/1106244772346376193 photos is that of Nero on the phone]] with Nico and a comatose Lady in the background. Apparently, Nero took Nico's teasing of telling Kyrie seriously.

* [[DumbMuscle Nidhogg]] is...not the sharpest tack in the pile. In fact, that's something of a gross understatement. The entire time you spend fighting the thing, Griffon continually takes the piss out of him for his stupidity. When he's at 50% vitality, he gets so upset that he practically starts ''crying'' because Griffon is ''being mean to him''.

** More detail. According to Kamiya's [[https://twitter.com/PG_kamiya/status/1054669347258421249 Twitter]]: Dante (and Trish) pull in around $1,500 a month fighting demons. He keeps just a hundred bucks a month for personal use, pizza not included. His new designer jacket costs ''eight thousand dollars''.
** Also the fact that Dante is [[RunningGag once again]] starts bringing up his toilet when trying to negotiate a job offer, just like in ''1'', ''3'' and ''4''.

* Remember all those motorcycles Dante used to ruin in every single game? Now he gets one of it as a ''weapon''!

** Lady nervously peeks her head out of the shower room, noticing Dante, Trish, and Morrison casually loitering about just a few feet away. Judging by the fact that she's still clearly wet and more than a little bit skin is showing, it appears she forgot to bring a ModestyTowel, leading to a very rare case of [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside Naked People Trapped]] ''[[InvertedTrope Inside]]''. Lady also [[https://youtu.be/4kpvPFqMEiM?t=240 peeks her head]] out of the shower room in the Mission 15 menu screen.

* A {{YouTuber}} by the name of idk has uploaded music Devil Trigger and Bury the Light, except it's covered by none other than people in 4chan (Especially /v/). Not only are they SoBadItsGood, but you can actually see that they've put much of their efforts in. Not to mention both videos are filled with memes and shitposts with every beat, which also cranks the amusement UpToEleven.

* In chapter 12, V finally gets his name... [[LineOfSightName by looking at his poetry book.]]

** This is especially true when you summon her ''inside'' the Qliphoth. Somehow the pay phone absorbed by the tree still gets out and she manages to drive the van ''into'' the tree. Bonus points for Nero deciding to chill and read a nearby magazine while waiting for her to get inside the tree.
*** The magazine Nero picks up is later seen being read by Trish in mission menu screens thereafter.

* Vergil's Sin Devil Trigger form has something that looks like exhaust pipes on his head with blue energy radiating from them.
** It'd be bad enough if the horns simply emitted flame energy, but it actually gets sillier when you take a close look at them. The horns are ''replicas of the Yamato's handle'', which borders somewhere on the line of ridiculous and NarmCharm.

** Nero inspects one of his Devil Breakers while Vergil sits next to him, either giving Nero a DisapprovingLook or being bored out of his mind. He also looks as if he's trying to make awkward conversation with Nero, going so far as to open his mouth before shaking his head and going back to watching him out of the corner of his eye. He can be seen as being quite adorkable. If one look closely at Vergil's eyes they may realize that he appears to be ''looking at the player'' as if they were sitting across from him, even looking back at them when he turns to face Nero. It all makes Vergil's glances appear as if he's trying to wordlessly ask what Nero's deal is or ask for help with him.

Judging by the fact that she's still clearly wet and more than a little bit skin is showing, it appears she forgot to bring a ModestyTowel, leading to a very rare case of [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside Naked People Trapped]] ''[[InvertedTrope Inside]]''.

* Due to how Cameo System works you can be matched with [[https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/993513340529590685/E28385DBEC8C4DDA6DC491F60DA04F78115C7451/ two ghosts of yourself]].

* Beating Bloody Palace as Dante has him form a heart using his own Summoned Swords and brush his hair back like Vergil does during his win pose and smugly smirk at the camera. It's easy to picture Vergil being mildly unamused at the scene.

** V's turns his cane into what is effectively a [[Franchise/StarWars light saber.]] The best part? Beating the mode unlocks them as taunts, ''and'' V's version also acts as a minor but still somewhat noticeable buff to his cane's damage.

* Dante ends up fighting King Cerberus. A stronger version of Cerberus from DMC 3 who wields fire and lightning along with ice. And Dante taunts him the same way he did his predecessor in 3.

* At the start of the mission, Nico gives Dante the Kalina Ann II, which Lady commissioned after losing the original in the prologue. It’s very possible that Dante picked up the original in mission 11. And, once you have both weapons, Dante can dual wield them.

* During their climactic battle, Dante taunts Vergil about his abusive parenting by calling him out for ripping off his own son's arm. Vergil's response is "My son...means nothing to me!" which sounds cold-hearted even for Vergil. But upon finishing the fight...Vergil's first line in the cutscene is "...Nero is my son?" There are a couple of ways to read this train of thought so that it makes sense, and the morbidly funny way is that Vergil is so caught up in his determination to kill Dante that he basically ''reflexively'' countered Dante's insult ''without actually thinking about what he was saying and realizing what it means'' and the revelation for Vergil is a ''very'' DelayedReaction. Even ''after'' that, it ''still'' takes him a couple of seconds to remember that, yes, he did in fact knock a girl up in Fortuna quite some time ago. Apparently this was LostInTranslation (the actual dialogue was supposed to be Vergil simply being clueless and not understanding what Dante is talking about) but the way it comes across in the English script gives the sequence its funny outcome.
* Once Vergil finally gets the hint, he almost nostalgically muses how long ago "that" (ie: sex with Nero's mom) was. Dante is half-tempted to stop the fight just so he can learn how the hell that happened.

* In ''Special Edition'', there's something hilariously terrifying about having to fight [[DuelingPlayerCharacters Dante]]. Pretty sure anyone that's played ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'' would be treated to some [[OhCrap serious flashbacks]]. Even if it's now [[GameBreaker Vergil]] that's the player character here instead of Nero!
** Remember abusing the shit out of [[CounterAttack Royal Guard]] when playing as Dante? Now have fun being on the receiving end as Vergil! In case ''[=DMC4SE's=]'' Bloody Palace wasn't enough!

* In the scene leading to the final fight after Nero {{Offhand Backhand}}s Dante to the floor with one of his bringer wings/arms and during "I won't let either of you die" speech, Dante interrupts with "Not gonna die, my ass; that bitch slap almost killed me!" And right before the fight, when asked if he agrees to the proxy duel, Dante goes "Whatever. I don't really care. I'm just gonna sit this one out." before laying back down as if he's given up on talking either of them out of it.
** Dante then gets revenge alongside Vergil by backhanding Nero so hard he flies a few good feet away.
*** Later on, you can see that Nero is actually injured on the side of his face that Dante hit. Looks like he got him back for that bitchslap!

* In ''Special Edition'' Vergil Mode adds on to the ending, extending past Dante's "Jackpot!" and for all the snark they manage to put a heartwarming spin on it all showing even two of the most powerful demon slayers on the planet were normal kids once.

[[folder: Nico's Reports]]

* Death Scissors has her note that being a master engineer means you've got to have a profound respect for the laws of physics...then she notes that when one of them drifts through the walls, it gets on her nerves.

[[folder: Visions of V]]

* Chapter 2 shows how V got his clothes. Turns out, he got Griffon to attack some thug before stripping him down and stealing his clothes. What really takes the cake is the fact V went so far as to ''accessorise,'' even taking the mans rings and neckless for no discernible reason.

** If you replay this missions after beating the game and get the S-rank, one of the [[https://twitter.com/An_ca_te/status/1106244772346376193 photos is that of Nero on the phone]] with Nico and a comatose Lady in the background. Apparently, Nero took Nico's teasing of telling Kyrie seriously.

* In the flashback to Dante and V's first meeting, we see Dante getting a job that offers its payment up front. Apparently he's been without work for the past eleven years since in his own words...

** Also the fact Dante once again starts bringing up his toilet when trying to negotiate a job offer, just like in ''1'', ''3'' and ''4''.
** Dante accepts the job on the condition he doesn't have to go to Patty's 18th birthday party. Apparently, the experience is so hellish that Dante would rather go through ''literal'' Hell than attend it. Although to be fair on Dante, ''Before the Nightmare'' gives context why he didn't want to attend: he dreads being around and forced to socialize with so many "[[https://twitter.com/DMC5Info/status/1101861884058316800 normal people]]" because [[HeroicSelfDeprecation he considers]] [[IAmAMonster himself a freak]], and he was still planning to celebrate Patty's birthday with her [[https://twitter.com/DMC5Info/status/1102204985553707010 afterwards]], just not around her friends.

* After clearing the main puzzle of the mission and moving a statue in his way Dante takes the chance to drop this gem.

* When V calls for Nico on the phone, she ''breaches through the concret like a submarine''.
