Not even IN ASSOCIATION WITH TOHO CO., LTD could bring balance to the world
** The fact that all four main monsters (Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan) [[CharacterAsHimself are credited as playing themselves.]]

*** In the Spanish dub, they're called [[Creator/MarxBrothers Groucho, Chico and Harpo]] instead.

* The inclusion of [[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/system-of-a-down-serj-tankian-blue-oyster-cult-godzilla-826686/ a remix of Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla",]] sung by Serj Tankian of System of a Down is both this and a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. Like, who could have seen this coming?
** The addition of the Japanese male voices in the background. At one point, their chanting seems to synch to the main lyrics in a call-and-response. . . except it sounds more like they're correcting the singer's pronounciation.
-->History shows again and again how nature point out the folly of men. Godzilla!\\
''Gojira!''\\
Godzilla!\\
''Gojira!''
* Meta example: On Twitter, Michael Dougherty posted a teaser image of King Ghidorah, and one commenter replied "But does he still go bidibidibidibidi" to which Dougherty bluntly replied "Yes". And there was much fan rejoicing.
** He also confirms [[https://twitter.com/Mike_Dougherty/status/1136289119729016833 the names of each head]], being Ichi (center), Ni (right), and San (left), also known as [[OddNameOut Kevin]].
* One TV spot shows Rodan charging Ghidorah solo. The fans promptly began to poke fun at Rodan trying to solo ''King Ghidorah'' of all monsters with stuff like [[https://www.reddit.com/r/GODZILLA/comments/as5791/im_sorry_rodan_but/ this]].
** Also just the fact that Rodan seems to be a ChaoticNeutral figure who's just ''fighting everybody.'' He's got no morals, allegiances or loyalties of any sort, he's just one royally pissed-off pterosaur who just wants to beat everyone up.
* In a meta example, toy companies have released several rather... peculiar KOTM-related merchandise, [[https://comicbook.com/anime/2019/02/14/godzilla-king-of-the-monsters-halloween-costumes/ including a Godzilla pet costume for dogs, an inflatable Ghidorah suit with hand puppets for the two side heads, and a rather horrifying-looking Mothra mask]], among other rather questionable stuff.
** There's also the widely-mocked Rodan figure that due to its color and texture had many fans describing it as [[https://thekaijudweeb.tumblr.com/post/181917937633/submitted-by-anon-now-this-one-definitely-made#notes looking like beef jerky.]]
* Not counting Godzilla Earth, Legendary Godzilla was the biggest Godzilla (108) meters on record until Shin Godzilla came along at 118.5. Now, Legendary has gotten a growth spurt, putting him at 119.8 meters. Given their respective nations, it's almost as if the US and Japan are in a one-upmanship contest arguing; [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "No, mine's bigger!"]]
* In combination of both this and SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC-DOCbdbmw one of the trailers]] is set to, of all songs, "Mama Said Knock You Out!" by Music/LLCoolJ, in what is definitely a MythologyGag to when [[https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x34bzh1 Godzilla won the MTV Lifetime Achievement Award.]]
* The fanbase's clapbacks to critics attacking the film have been pretty hilarious at times. Notably, the fandom's collective rage at one Rotten Tomatoes critic who had the nerve to call Mothra ''"an ugly disgusting moth."'' Fans were '''not''' pleased.
** Related, the fact that the critics' main reason for hating the movie that has been parroted all over is the fact that there are a lot of [[{{Kaiju}} giant monster battles]]... [[LogicBomb in a]] ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' [[LogicBomb movie]]. Like they went into a movie titled ''Godzilla: King of the Monsters'' expecting it to be a [[OscarBait serious period drama]] or something, and their monocles collectively fell out as soon as the [[CoolVsAwesome giant lizards started wrestling each other]]. The most hilarious thing is the fact that critics are complaining that this movie had "too many monsters scenes" after they complained that the previous movie has "too few monsters scenes". Fans actually mocked them for that.
* Creator/CharlesDance and his lukewarm feelings about the film can be contrasted with [[https://youtu.be/sT_agPng1V8 his IGN interview]] where he responds to Godzilla comments. He reads all the comments with flair, humorously remarks on some of the usernames, reacts with an enthusiastic "YES!" at a ''Series/GameOfThrones'' reference, and is even offended on Godzilla's behalf when he thinks someone is "implying that Godzilla is mentally deficient".
--> '''Charles Dance''': No, he is a very very bright, very smart Godzilla.
** The comment was actually calling Godzilla a "chunky thicc zilla" (which is funny on its own), but Dance naturally has no idea what it means. He also mispronounces "homies" and "kaiju", but his delivery makes it wonderfully entertaining.
---> '''Charles Dance''': "Why are Godzilla and Mothra fighting? I thought they were ''hom-ees''?" These words I've never seen before...
---> '''Charles Dance''': "I'm hyped to see Gonorrhea--" ''What?!''
* [[https://www.teepublic.com/sticker/5117403-dang-it-kevin This highly entertaining]] merchandise for MemeticBadass Kevin Ghidorah.
** [[http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2019/10/13/ultimate-masterline-series-king-ghidorah-2019-info-and-big-photos-from-spiral-studio/ An upcoming statue of King Ghidorah]] has the first two heads snarling and a [[DeathGlare menacing glare]]. Kevin? Looking at the opposite direction looking docile.
* During the dvd commentary for the Mothra vs Rodan fight, one staff member suggested that Mothra’s retractable stinger is actually an ovipositor, meaning she could’ve [[FaceFullofAlienWingWong implanted her young into him]]. Mike Dougherty had a mini freakout over the idea of [[MisterSeahorse Rodan being pregnant]].
** You can hear the DisapprovingLook in Mike's voice when O'Shea Jackson Jr. said "[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 Life is like a hurricane.]]"

** Not only that, but supplemental material reveals that Mothra's stinger has a type of hallucinogenic/ paralytic agent in it. Rodan was probably high as a kite for the remainder of the battle.

* One TV spot shows Rodan charging Ghidorah solo. The fans promptly began to poke fun at Rodan [[WhatAnIdiot trying to solo]] ''[[WhatAnIdiot King Ghidorah]]'' [[WhatAnIdiot of all monsters]] with stuff like [[https://www.reddit.com/r/GODZILLA/comments/as5791/im_sorry_rodan_but/ this]].

* Mark asking if they have a "snappy nickname" for Rodan. And later on, he refers to him as [[Series/SesameStreet Big Bird]].

* The second trailer ends with Madison saying [[CurseCutShort "Oh sh--"]] before she's cut off by Godzilla's deafening roar, almost as if the giant monster himself was saying ''"Watch your language, little girl!"''

* Rodan being all bootlicky before Godzilla, straight after siding with Ghidorah and nearly killing Mothra. He's basically the kaiju version of Starscream.

* Godzilla’s final fight with Ghidorah takes on a somewhat funnier tone too when one considers that he’s been given the equivalent of an adrenaline shot from the nuke, therefore is probably mentally going through the equivalent of CaffeineBulletTime, only to crash as Ghidorah eventually gains the upper hand.

* The human characters arguing about Ghidorah's name and how to pronounce it. One of them even asks if it's pronounced ''Gonorrhea''.

* Still think nothing can top Godzilla's "Kiss of Death" on the Female Muto in the previous film in terms of CrazyAwesome? What about Godzilla ''lighting up Ghidorah's severed but still-living head in his mouth like a cigar, causing its eyes and mouth to light up like some morbid jack-o-lantern before exploding?''

* The idea of Ghidorah's three heads displaying differing personalities is amusing in itself, with the middle head being the intelligent and dominant one, the right head being the aggressive and irritable one, and the left head being the dimwitted, easily-distracted one. It wouldn't be too inaccurate to describe them as a dragon version of [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Shenzi, Banzai and Ed.]]
