* The various Tadpole and Possum badge challenges are so ridiculous given their nature as ''[=boy/girl=] scout accomplishment patches''. One really has to wonder what unfortunate kid had to break into a government installation and launch a nuke to earn Tadpole: Codebreaker, or kill a specific number of things with a ''Fat Man'' for Possum: Atomics Fan.

** When you first enter the vaccine into the Nuka-Cola database, the computer will ask you to fill out a survey of which target demographic you think the new "flavor" will impact the most. One of the options is "PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO GET SICK AND DIE!"

* In the Van Lowe Taxidermy basement, you can find, not only evidence of robotic tinkering, and a retcon that Robotic Workbenches existed before the war, but also that the name for such a device is Custom Robotic Assembly Platform (CRAP).

* An Army base in West Virginia is now using Mister Gutsy robots as Drill Sergeants to train new recruits; the former Drill Instructor, in order to retire and earn his pension, has to over spend his last few months in the Service overseeing the transition and providing updates on how the Gusty's are doing. His report indicates that the robots are unable to climb stairs (or indeed any steep incline), one of them reverted to his Mr. Handy programming and began to landscape the base grounds (poorly), they continually refer to him as a "Commie Loving Bastard," and one Gutsy killed a recruit, after firing 17 stray rounds into him.

* The teddy bears are back and up to their usual questionable fun throughout Appalachia. One throws himself a barbecue (complete with 25 year-old hot dogs), while another pair force a third to "walk the plank." There's one wearing a Ranger's Hat and sunglasses, holding a cigarette and hunting rifle. Another one cooks his "friend" in a pot on a stove. Even better, ''Fallout 76'' adds variations such as Bubblegum Bear, Teddy Fear, and Comrade Chubs, so they're not all the same brown bear as in years past. One of the most demanded patches, other than the usual badly needed gameplay fixes, is a way for people to display the bears they find at their C.A.M.P.

* One quest from Rose has her tell you to [[ShmuckBait befriend a Deathclaw]], if you live long enough to come close to it you will get the option to make friends with it, [[RealityEnsues it doesn't work]] and Rose calls in [[TooDumbToLive shocked that you would even try it.]]

* In Wastelanders, you encounter a Raider NPC named Weasel who temporarily joins you. She has a collar around her neck to act as her voice (as her real voice was damaged.) It sounds like a nasally, high-pitched computerized text-to-speech voice. Fisher, the one who programmed it, forgot to include certain words, including curse words so she has to supplant them with "poop", "fornicate", "the hot underground place". He even forgot to include the word 'explosives', forcing her to instead use 'big boom'. Needless to say, she is '''not''' happy.
--> '''Weasel''': "I wish I could say the right word. Big boom makes me sound like a baby."

* A random encounter added in Wastelanders has a terrified Settler run past you, pleading for help from a hostile creature attack. His bloodthirsty pursuer? [[WeaksauceWeakness A single chicken]]. You can kill the chicken and earn the Settler's grateful thanks...or leave it be and watch the poor wastelander flee off into the sunset, still fleeing from the killer poultry.

* Insult Bot. A protectron programmed by the Watoga High School robotics class to go around and insult people as an insult comic.
--> '''Insult Bot:''' "One of us is slow, devoid of a personality, and has no friends. The other is a protectron. Zing!"

* With the release of Wastelanders, justifying how new players can be leaving Vault 76 if a year has passed... you and a few other Residents decided [[DefectorFromDecadence screw it I don't care about Reclamation Day and just stayed.]] With the Mr. Handys in charge (and no security personnel to toss em out personally), they just sat around the vault doing whatever for a year. The only reason they're leaving now is that [[DidNotThinkThisThrough the Vault has run out of food to keep everyone alive.]] Even the Mr. Handys are a bit upset by it if you mention to them you love living in the vault! When you leave, the story explictly acts like the base game content has already been solved by your fellow players and you're playing catch-up.
** Possibly made funnier by the fact that the Overseer is stunned if you tell her you just now left.
---> '''Overseer:''' "Well, you can start pulling your own weight and get caught up with the rest of us! Jeez, you were supposed to leave ''months ago.'' '''''What were you even doing in there!?'''''"

* When 2019 dawned, an unexpected bug caused the game's nukes to become unusable. For a few days, the Appalachian wasteland need not live under the specter of nuclear war...at least until a hotfixed restored the nukes' functionality.
