* The sequence in the Otacon ending of the Twin Snakes version, where Snake and Otacon are walking down the snowy pathway. Otacon slips and tumbles down the rest of the way. Snake can only shake his head. Naomi's straight-laced closing narration playing over this just makes it more hilarious.

** ''Twin Snakes'' also modifies the commander portraits in Mantis' boss fight room to that of Silicon Knights CEO Dennis Dyack, cutscene director Ryuhei Kitamura and, of course, Mr. Kojima. They all begin laughing at the player too. At one point, Mantis seemingly sets the room on fire, including the portraits. Poor Dyack gets reduced to a charred skeleton while Kojima...looks at him with mild interest.



* Liquid gets few (intentionally) humorous moments, but this one referring to his ally Gurlokovich is pretty amusing. He just sounds so disdainful.

* After escaping the gas room, and before confronting Liquid at the Metal Gear Rex (before the cutscene starts), get out your sniper rifle and shoot at Liquid's head. Liquid responds by rubbing his face, as if scratching an itch. [[MadeOfIron Of course, this fits with Liquid's ability to absorb a ridiculous amount of damage]]. [[note]]This only works in the [=PS1=] version. The ''Twin Snakes'' has the cutscene begin as soon as Snake escapes the gas room.[[/note]]

** Naturally, when the game was remade for the [=GameCube=] as ''The Twin Snakes'', the references to [=PlayStation=] Creator/{{Konami}} games were removed...and replaced with references to Creator/{{Nintendo}} games (''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee''). Additionally, if you had a save file for ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'', Psycho Mantis would also specifically indicate the player's fondness for Creator/SiliconKnights games - the very same developers of ''The Twin Snakes''.

*** Even funnier when you remember that in both [=MGS2=] and [=MGS3=], the latter taking place decades ''before'' this one, he was spinning a gun around with his left hand without an issue in most of his appearances, so this was a legit clumsy moment from Ocelot.

* While in jail, you could do anything you can think of to annoy the guard. "Shut up in there, will ya!!!"
** Also, "(What) the hell are you doing?"



** Ocelot also does a [[NoFourthWall Fourth Wall banger]] to the player during the interrogation stage. ''The Twin Snakes'' had Ocelot specifically point to the camera during this, to add to it.
--->'''Ocelot:''' [[NoFairCheating Don't even think of using autofire... I'll know.]]
** Ocelot dropping his revolver while trying to twirl it with his left hand in ''The Twin Snakes''. Especially with how he [[OhCrap just stares at Snake for a second]] before picking it back up.

* In Calling Nastasha while having weapons and gear equipped will have her give you some helpful information about them. Call her while you're hiding in a cardboard box, and she'll give a much longer and ludicrously well-detailed spiel about corrugated cardboard's history, construction, and its many practical applications, [[TheComicallySerious all with a completely straight face]]. Additionally, calling her while smoking leads to one of the [=PS1=] version, when few times someone talks with Snake sees Liquid walking towards him and Meryl/Otacon about cigarettes while they're trapped under not rebuking him for smoking (take a good look at the Jeep, and smoke Nastasha's equipped with). Apparently compared to the dangers of nuclear...anything, Nastasha just mutters "Uh-oh", sees smoking as if the lesser of two evils.
* If you call Miller while on a noisy floor, he'll give the player advice for sneaking around in real life. In a nice riff on the [=PlayStation=]'s lack of finer analog stick control, Snake then remarks, flustered, that he literally ''can't'' do what Miller advised (''Twin Snakes'' omits
this isn't bit and simply has Snake acknowledge the ''very worst thing advice, referencing the [=GameCube=]'s improved control stick tech and Snake's ability to walk slowly). Then Miller suggests that could possibly happen''.Snake put his socks over his shoes - or just crawl.



** Not to mention Otacon [[BringMyBrownPants pissing himself]] earlier. ''Twice''.
* Near the end of their conversation Snake suddenly asks Otacon if he's feeling well. Otacon is confused by his sudden concern, and Snake awkwardly explains he's just nervous because the last two people he rescued suddenly died in front of him.
* If you call Snake's codec team after interacting with Johnny, you'll hear Snake talk with a cold. The original even has Snake sound very, very bunged up.

* Vulcan Raven suddenly bringing up the Eskimo-Indian Olympics during his pre-fight taunts, with Snake sarcastically quipping that he must be really good at the muktuk eating contest. Raven ''confirms this'' with the same gravity he uses in the rest of the conversation. You are now picturing Vulcan Raven at the Eskimo equivalent of a pie-eating contest (except you are eating a raw slab of whale skin and blubber). TTS changed Snake's quip into a belief that Raven excelled at the "Stick Pull" and "Four Man Carry" events.
** Raven immediately afterward compares the upcoming fight to an ear pulling contest. [[AluminumChristmasTrees Which happens to be a very real event in said olympics.]] For that matter, so's the muktuk eating contest.



* If you fail to follow Meryl's footsteps across the small minefield, and set off a mine, Meryl will shrug her arms as if to say, "Well, I tried."
