Line #40 Funny/Manhunt


1	''VideoGame/{{Manhunt}}'' might be one of the more disturbing games ever made, but it still manages to sneak in some funny moments, no matter how grim they may be. As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff as per policy.]] '''Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.'''
2	----
3	* One Skinz tries to "avoid all the action" and still get his pay by locking himself in a shed and watch German porn. What's the only way to get him to come out? Smashing the fuse box.
4	-->'''Skinz''': "Ah, that's just freaking great! The fuse is fried again!"
5	* As batshit insane the Smileys may be, some of the stuff they say is ''hilarious''.
6	--> '''(Chasing the player)''' Just give up the damn shoes, you ''crazy-ass [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment shoe-thieving shoe thief]]!'' \
7	'''(Upon finding a dead ally)''' Let's all lay down like this guy! Maybe he's onto something!/You take a rest pal, we'll find the filthy thief. \
8	'''(Attacking the player)''' GIMME YOUR HEAD JUICE!\
9	'''(Spotting the player)''' Hey who are you? [[SuddenlyShouting HOLD ON, AREN'T THOSE MY SHOES?!]] / He's over there, and ''(Distressed gasping)''' HE'S GOT MY SHOES ON!''' / There he is, wiggling his squiggly witchetty ass!\
10	'''(Taunting the player after killing them)''' He's turning into a pupa! chuckle Pesky witchetty man! / Hey wait a minute! These aren't my shoes after all. / Ha ha ha! Well whaddya know, they're'' '''his''' ''shoes!''\
11
12	** The quotes above come from a Smiley whose sole motive to murder Cash is because he suspects he stole his shoes, and he's only one flavor of lunacy in the gang. For example, there is a Smiley who believes he's hosting a grand party;
13	--> '''(Idle)''' [[SarcasmMode 'I'm a vegetarian!' You think you're so marvelous!]] / Sometimes I wonder why I invite all these ungrateful idiots at all ({{Angrish}})!\
14	'''(Calling for backup after taking damage)''' This isn't considered polite behavior! ''Security!''\
15	'''(Finding a dead ally)''' Passing out before the main course? ''Really?'' / Looks like someone else has overdone the punch.\
16	'''(Hearing the player create noise when out of sight)''' Who said that?! I don't care for open criticism, I'll have you know!\
17
18	** Even the normally tragic Smiley known as Barry, who murdered his wife and is now impersonating her, can have something funny to say that breaks the tension of a normally grueling set of levels;
19	--> '''(Spotting the player)''' Kids, your daddy's finally come home! ''(Under his breath)'' He must be finished fucking that whore...\
20	'''(While fighting)''' I've faked it! I've always faked it, ''I'M FAKING IT NOW.''\
21	'''(When losing track of the player)''' Don't try hiding out there in the garage! ''I dumped your liquor!''\
22	'''(When commanding a checkpoint door)''' Oh no, you're not leaving this house to see ''her''. Girls, lock that door! / Barry? Barry?! ''Where is that '''shit?''' '' ''(To Smiley manning the door controls, with a sweet and motherly tone.)'' Open the door.\
23
24	* The Cerberus are the final faction to fight and some players will likely gain more than a few frustrating deaths to them, but their MildlyMilitary nature provides some comedy.
25	--> '''(Idle Cerberus, speaking into radio)''' Did you get that? ''Hello?'' Fucking thing's screwed-
26	--> '''(Radio operator)''' ''Watch your language, Bravo-2!''
27	--> '''(Cerberus)''' Oh shit-yes sir!
28
29	--> '''(Cerberus)''' ''Look, when I say "cover me", I don't mean ''' 'shoot my fucking ass off', okay?!''' ''
30
31	--> '''(Unintelligible radio chatter)'''
32	--> '''(Cerberus)''' Keep off this channel.
33	--> '''(Aggressive unintelligible radio chatter)'''
34	--> '''(Cerberus)''' ''Yeah, well I'm fucking telling you to keep off this channel!'''
35
36	--> '''(Cerberus)''' Well ''one of us'' is gonna have to go in there and flush him out! ({{Beat}}) [[WhyAreYouLookingAtMeLikeThat Why's everyone looking at me?]]
37	--> '''(Cerberus)''' ''Let's rush him!'' ({{Beat}}) Okay I'll go by myself, but at least cover me!
38	--> '''(Cerberus)''' Okay, I'll storm in on my own, but if [[UnfriendlyFire I get hit by any of your guys again]], ''I'll fucking kill you!''
39	--> '''(Cerberus)''' ItsQuietTooQuiet. ''[{{beat}}]'' [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat I've always wanted to say that!]]
40
41	--> '''(Cerberus)''' He's hold up here someplace, you copy?
42	--> '''(Radio)''' Can you get a positive ID?
43	--> '''(Cerberus)''' I'm telling you, it's him!
44	--> '''(Radio)''' ''Confirm'' that, Delta.
45	--> '''(Cerberus)''' ''Just move it!''
46
47	--> '''(Cerberus Leader)''' Starkweather's lost it! And Ramirez never ''had'' it!
48	* Some of Starkweather's comments when Cash kills a hunter. Depending on your sense of humor, otherwise it's just plain disgusting, given that it's implied he's masturbating to the kills.
49	--> '''Starkweather:''' Oh my god, I've had an accident. I'm serious man, you brought me off.
50	--> '''Starkweather:''' You're really doing it for me, I ain't been this turned on since -- [[NoodleIncident well, let's not go there.]]
51	* Although the fight with Piggsy is often cited as the most terrifying boss fight of any game, Cash's "executions" on him end up being hilarious. First, when weakening Piggsy with the first three executions, Cash jams a glass shard into Pigsy's back, causing him to [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl squeal in pain]], and bitch-slap Cash off of him, [[DirtyCoward before running off]]. This causes Cash to [[{{Facepalm}} clutch his forehead]], less out of pain, and more out of seeming to silently say YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe (this is the only time any enemy ''in the series'' takes more than one execution). Then, the first time you lure him onto the steel platform, Piggsy [[OhCrap realizes his weight]] isn't doing him any favors [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere and runs back to his original stage]]. Then the second time, he only has enough time to grab onto the edge of the floor as the platform completely gives out from under him, letting his chainsaw slide to Cash's feet. Cash then finishes off Piggsy by cutting off his hands, and causing all 1,000 pounds of his lardy ass to splatter several floors below him.
52	** Piggsy may look disturbing, [[NightmareRetardant at least there's plenty of his voice lines that sound pretty ridiculous.]]
53	--> '''Piggsy''': [[{{Understatement}} Piggsy forgot why here]].
54	--> '''Piggsy''': Not playing! Squeal [[DudeNotFunny Not funny!]]
55	--> '''Piggsy''': Stop. Snort Not fair!
56	--> '''Piggsy''': Piggsy's angry! Squeal [[LargeHam ANNNNNGRRRRRYYYYYYY!!!]]
57	--> '''Piggsy''': Piggsy bored. Snort [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Going home.]] Snort Go to bed and SLEEEEEEP!
58	* Forcing some poor schmuck to take shock therapy? Not funny. But looking at the electric box, [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope and seeing the neat, printed warning label that says]] "[[SophisticatedAsHell Please Note: This Really]] [[PrecisionFStrike Fucking]] Hurts!"? [[CrossesTheLineTwice Hilarious.]]
59	* In the [[JustifiedTutorial tutorial level]] of the original ''Manhunt'', some graffiti on the wall is [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall pointing out your first target]], (who is facing away from you until you kill him) with the message "[[LampshadeHanging Kill this dumb fuck]]".
60	** Immediately after that, when you're introduced to the "Hiding in the Shadows" mechanic, there's another message, this time pointing to a conspicuously shady segment of the wall: "[[CaptainObvious Hide, you shit!]]"
61	** "[[CaptainObvious Here's the crowbar, you wanker!]]" exists just after the above (at least) in the UK release. [[JumpScare You aren't getting it for free, though.]]
62	* Sometimes the fat shirtless Skinz will have a tattoo on their torso that reads "Fuck Off".
63	** On a similar note, one of the Hoods wears a jacket emblazoned with the word "FUCKER" in all capital letters.
64	* In a morbid way, there's something funny about Cash standing behind an enemy like [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner Wile E. Coyote]] with his arm raised while his oblivious victim says things like "Where Are You Dumb Chicken Shit Bastard" or "Think. He plays with me."
65	* In the level "[[UnsexySadist Sexual Deviants]]" of the sequel, the "Dungeon" has [[BondageIsBad sexual torture scenes]] that make ''Film/{{Hostel}}'' look tame by comparison. However, sneaking into the Dungeon makes the subsequent terror almost bearable - there's a guard manning the door, and he won't let you in since you aren't one of the aptly-named Pervs. So, do you need to kill a Perv, [[DressingAsTheEnemy and dress up in his gimp suit?]] No, not quite - [[OffWithHisHead you chop off one of their heads]], and hold it up to the door slot to [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy fool the guard]].
66	--> '''Guard''': Georgy-boy, c'mon in! ({{Beat}}) [[FailedASpotCheck Geez, you look like shit]]...
67	--> '''Leo''': [[LampshadeHanging Dumb fuck can't tell his mother from his meth dealer]].
68	** Apparently, a canned line of dialogue can be BlackComedy, again from [[AxCrazy Leo]]:
69	--> Looks like we're [[IncrediblyLamePun a-HEAD]] of the game, Danny! [[DontExplainTheJoke Get it?! A- (Sigh) Forget it...]]
70	** A lot of the lines of the fat Perv with a truckers hat and a green vest are absolutely hysterical, due to him being convinced that him and Danny are lovers.
71	--> '''Perv''': Fuck me then leave me, huh!? [[HypocriticalHumor Typical male!]].
72	--> '''Perv''': Don't worry [[InherentlyFunnyWords snugglebutt]], I'm coming!
73	--> '''Perv''': (In a sing-song voice) [[CrossesTheLineTwice My boyfriend is a corpse!~]]
74	* In the Level "Safe House" of the sequel. The final shootout takes place in a porn cinema.The fact that you commit acts of violence while you can hear the actors moaning in the background is hilarious.
75	** This conversation between two [[TheMenInBlack Watchdogs]] from the same level:
76	--> '''[[UpperClassTwit Watchdog]]''': Spengler, look for Higgs and Spaulding - they should be coming from the "adult specialty shop."
77	--> '''Spengler''': [[BrutalHonesty It's called "porno", genius.]]
