* [[https://youtu.be/kdKjpXPrnGg?si=Dia6vLmZ9lyoEoCb This game]], which was an exhibition match between the US and UK navies. The British team brought ''nine'' ''Schlieffens'' to the battle. The commentators start laughing as soon as they see the lineups, and it only gets funnier from there. As the American team is systematically obliterated by the ''Schlieffens''' massed secondaries, there are so many shells being fired that the game servers literally can't render them all, so all we see is the American ships apparently spontaneously bursting into flames before exploding and sinking. The video description even alleges that the British team was told not to fire their main guns!

* April Fools 2021, and the utter ludicrousness of their interpretation of HMS Habbakuk; visible from pretty much anywhere on the map, 620k HP, planes that have Tallboy Bunker Buster bombs and several Cruisers worth of Secondary Armament, in-effect Thrust Vectoring propulsion, 7 knot top speed. Unlike Georgia, unlikely to ever see daylight, even in joke modes.

* When USS ''Georgia'' (a preliminary design of the Iowa using a theoretical main armament of six 18-inch guns in three twin turrets) was first shown off to the community, a lot of people thought it was a joke leading into April fools (it was announced alongside a lot of other April fools content). Indeed a lot of community contributors went along with the "joke." But April 1 came and went and Georgia began testing on the live server the next day. In a way, [[AntiHumor its funnier than anything they actually could have done.]]

** On her [[http://shipcomrade.com/?p=790 100th ship review]], she creates a completely fictional premium ship named the ''Thunderer'', which is the Tier X ''Conqueror'' with the less popular 4x2 18-inch guns loadout bumped down to Tier IX a la ''Musashi''. She treats it like a completely serious review...up until the end where she reveals it was completely fake. A year later, in quite possibly the biggest HilariousInHindsight moment that will ever happen to this game, Wargaming removed the 18-inch guns option from the ''Conqueror'', and introduced the ''Thunderer'' to the game as a Tier X premium battleship, albeit in a different form to [=LittleWhiteMouse's=] interpretation.

** [[https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/194406-wows-nightly-news-48-saying-goodbye-to-downvote/ Issue 48]] was about how the the downvote option was removed on the NA forums. It treated it like covering a funeral for the downvote emoji. The image of all the forum emojis at a funeral alone was hilarious.
-->'''Hindeburg:''' Family members have asked the community to remember Downvote "by giving the stupids the negativity they deserve."

** Regarding the skill floor of the *Admiral Makarov* [[note]] A Soviet clone of the C-Hull Nurnberg [[/note]]:
-->'''[=LittleWhiteMouse=]:''' Makarov is so damn fragile that even social-justice-warriors tell her that she needs to toughen up and stop being such a victim about incoming fire. This is not an easy ship to do well in.
