Context Funny / Skullgirls

Go To

1!!The Game
2* They really mean it when they put "Press Any Button" on the title screen. Go ahead, try something like a shoulder button or the D-Pad. That should warrant a chuckle.
3** On the Steam version, adjusting the volume settings counts as pressing any button. How's that for DevelopersForesight?
4* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPpJtVUnmlI This [=HP/HK=] victory pose from Filia]].
5** It made it into the Mobile version as one of the victory poses!
6* Pretty much all of Parasoul's story mode intro. Especially the part where Parasoul instructs one of her soldiers to send soldiers to help her hunt the Skullgirl down...and get Umbrella some ice cream. Said soldier who got the order then calls it [[MundaneMadeAwesome "Operation Chocolate Dawn"]].
7* Ms. Fortune's line to [[HollywoodPudgy Filia]]: "Can ''I'' have a cheeseburger?"
8** She doesn't appreciate having it turned around on her, though:
9--->'''Cerebella:''' [[WebOriginal/LOLCats You can has cheezburger?]]\
10'''Ms. Fortune:''' [[NWordPrivileges That's]] ''[[FantasticRacism racist!]]''
11** Even Robo-Fortune does it!
12--->'''Robo-Fortune''': [[AC:Can I have been acquired a cheezburger?]]
13* In Ms. Fortune's story, she comes across Valentine, who is fascinated by her body's HealingFactor and wants to study it. Ms. Fortune [[MistakenForGay thinks]] [[LesYay Valentine is hitting on her]].
14-->'''Ms. Fortune:''' ...Er, sorry, creepy lady. I'm not interested.
15** Later in Ms. Fortune's story, she finds Valentine in a church with Double and we get this gem.
16--->'''Valentine:''' Aw, she followed me home. [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe Can I keep her, Double]]?
17* One time the announcer spat out this gem.
18-->'''Announcer:''' Now you're cooking with gas!
19** Any of the announcer's annoyed reactions to a lame match ending via chip or time over:
20--->'''Announcer:''' This racket's flopped.\
21'''Announcer:''' Awwwww, c'mon!\
22'''Announcer:''' You call ''that'' a fight?\
23'''Announcer:''' Cut, cut, ''cut!''\
24'''Announcer:''' ''Call my bookie!''
25* Should your opponent actually be dumb (and unlucky) enough to let you kill the last two of their characters at the same time onscreen, John "Dangerous" Rockefeller will laugh, and it earns you a trophy.
26* When knocked out with her head off, Ms. Fortune's head tries to get back up. She only gets far enough to show the audience her incredibly silly face before flopping back down.
27* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Itb_la_lCQw Republican Double]] voice pack.
28-->"'''I AM ABOVE THE LAW!'''"\
29"'''ANCIENT VETERANS HAVE EARNED OUR TAX DOLLARS!'''"\
30"'''RICH PEOPLE NEVER TRULY DIE!'''"\
31"'''[[UsefulNotes/BillClinton I DID NOT HAVE PUGILISTIC RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN]]!'''"\
32''(At Beowulf)'' "'''IT'S ADAM AND EVE, NOT ADAM AND ''CHAIR''!'''"\
33''(At Ms. Fortune)'' "'''YOU'RE STEALING JOBS FROM REGULAR CATGIRLS!'''"
34* The announcement of a ''playable'' Robo-Fortune and the Real Soviet Announcer voice.
35* Potential DLC character Stanley Whitefin [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US7RbhjMo78 explains the Indiegogo fundraiser]] while creating the first prototype of Robo-Fortune. It ends up [[StuffBlowingUp exploding spectacularly]].
36* The combo meter itself delivers these sheerly by how CrazyPrepared it is. The highest prepared combo of 999 is simply titled "You Can Stop Now."
37* Squigly's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEJJbcxqy48 story mode in the PC beta.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhxLWdTgjDo And the ending.]]
38-->'''Marie:''' [[MemeticMutation Two weeks?]] ''[[AscendedMeme Two weeks...?]]'' '''[[BerserkButton TWO WEEKS?!]]''' ''[[SkywardScream RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHH!!!]]'' [[TrollingCreator I'll teach you to troll me!]]'''
39* Squigly's [[AssKicksYou snapback animation.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13MOzUSngeY Here's a video of it being done 6 times with a close-up of Leviathan's face after.]]
40* Filia and Squigly meet in the latter's story mode. Filia tells Squigly and Leviathan that she's lost her memory and Samson is helping her find the Skull Heart so she can use it to get better. Leviathan accuses Samson of taking advantage of Filia's amnesia, manipulating her into going after the Skull Heart because he wants her to be turned into a Skullgirl. Samson responds by being a {{jerkass}}, insulting Squigly's appearance and then telling Filia that she can't trust this undead chick, who ''has'' to be working for the Skullgirl. At this point both [[NotSoAboveItAll Squigly and Leviathan]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil want to beat the crap out of Samson]].
41-->'''Squigly''': [[ApologeticAttacker My apologies in advance, Filia]]. [[FalseReassurance For what it's worth, we will aim for the boor infesting you]].\
42'''Filia''': [[WhatTheHellHero That's still hitting]] ''[[WhatTheHellHero me]]'' [[WhatTheHellHero in the head!]]
43* Speaking of hitting people in the head: if you play as Ms. Fortune, detach her head, and then kick it while it's on the ground to send it sliding away, sometimes she'll respond by yelling "Wheeeee!"
44* Big Band's win pose is a [[http://youtu.be/HI6-dmI3Xto?t=20m42s thing of beauty.]]
45** Speaking of Big Band's winning, one of his quotes is: "I have to go, my planet needs me." All while casually blasting off.
46** Big Band's Level 5 Blockbuster does nothing, [[LethalJokeItem save the fact that you can make music as long as the meter isn't fully depleted, that and enable a]] [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar One Hundred Trumpet Fist]]. Trying this with the ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' ThemeSongPowerUp is just a fair warning for your opponent that [[YouAreAlreadyDead they're pretty much screwed.]]
47** Or to look at it another way, you're finding out [[Manga/StardustCrusaders how long your opponent can move in frozen time]]. Big Band even shouts "[[{{Kiai}} TUBATUBATUBATUBATUBA!]]" during the super!
48* The entirety of DLC candidate [[AnimeChineseGirl Feng]]'s EpicFail of a backstory. While originally meant as a joke, it's now considered to be canonical: Natives of Feng's homeland are practitioners of geomancy, but Feng is incredibly bad at it. So much so, when she tried rearranging the furniture in her apartment, [[MundaneMadeAwesome the resulting feng shui was so bad]] ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome that it opened a portal to the afterlife]],'' which is how she got her [[HeadPet ghost birds]].
49* While the first half of Double's ending is pure horror, the other half shows us Aeon's room. Which is a cluttered mess filled with everything from a Samson wig, a Painwheel backpack, the Necronomicon, and a Ms. Fortune body pillow. Especially funny because this means that one of the ''Skullgirls'' equivalents of God is a cringe-inducingly blatant fangirl.
50* Fukua's story mode: The entirety of the story (drawn in a slightly SuperDeformed style to illustrate how it's off from canon) is revealed to be AllJustADream by Filia having a nightmare of Fukua putting on a Filia mask and claiming to be her. After she rinses her face off with the bathroom sink, Filia stares into the mirror... only for a JumpScare of Fukua being in the reflection instead of herself. TheStinger has a second jump scare of Umbrella and Annie also in the reflection (Annie being there makes all the more hilarious considering the scene is one big homage to the last scene of ''Series/TwinPeaks''[[note]]"Where's Annie? Where's Annie?! ''WHERE'S ANNIE?!''"[[/note]]).
51** After clearing Fukua's story mode, a new cutscene is unlocked: A joke cutscene where Filia talks with Samson about using the Skull Heart to wish for infinite hats, since Samson keeps on eating hers every time they get ready for a fight.
52** The announcer's "This battle is all in the mind" remark takes on a deeper meaning, because it is actually true.
53* Normally, we really don't put one character here and call it a day, but with ''[[RealityWarper Peacock]]'', that is probably the quickest way to actually get it done for listing Peacock's moments of humor. Case in point, her attacks, all being based around cartoon-ish ideas, ranging from literally poking her opponent, [[EpicFail missing a football kick]] [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]]-style, [[MusicalAssassin singing a deadly note on a rock guitar]], pulling characters into a BigBallOfViolence, using miniature '''CANNONS''', using AbnormalAmmo for her guns like baseballs, ''bowling balls'', and '''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros BULLET BILLS]]''', and even having one of her ShadowOfImpendingDoom attacks be Avery on a '''''STEAMROLLER!'''''[[note]]And yes, Avery ''does'' shout "[[MemeticMutation WRYYYYY!]]" when the steamroller hits.[[/note]] She has to be seen in gameplay to be believed.
54** One of Peacock's Blockbusters is placing a massive bomb. Mix this with her Level 3 Blockbuster, and cue StuffBlowingUp as your foe takes a '''MASSIVE''' chunk of damage.
55** How many fighting game characters can you name that reference "[[Film/SilentNightDeadlyNightPart2 GAR-BAGE DAY!]]"?
56*** On top of all this, her wise-cracking quotes range from LaughablyEvil and AxCrazy, to being ReferenceOverdosed to other classic comedians - see the [[ShoutOut/SkullGirls Shout Out]] page for them all.
57** Hell, even her DummiedOut alternate ending wasn't pulled because it was a DownerEnding (like most of the scrapped endings for other characters), [[GainaxEnding but solely based off of how off-the-wall it was]]: First, [[SweetTooth Peacock wishes for all of the world's oxygen to be turned into chocolate]]. The [[ArtifactOfDoom Skull Heart]] ''[[EveryoneHasStandards REFUSES]]'' to grant [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough this clearly idiotic wish]]. Then, Peacock wishes for [[PreciousPuppy everybody to be turned into puppies]]. The Skull Heart refused to grant ''that'' wish as well. [[HilarityEnsues Cue the]] AxCrazy HeroicComedicSociopath and the OmnicidalManiac EldritchAbomination [[MoodWhiplash bickering with each other, calling the other]] [[WorstWhateverEver "The Worst Wisher/Wish Granter Ever"]].
58*** To make it even better, that happens right after a pause in the script, meaning Peacock could just be making wish after wish and failing for it to work or be sensible, or made a wish SO DUMB and SO IDIOTIC yet the Skullheart could STILL grant it. Either way, it makes the scene way more hilarious.
59* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5-ZR1DxxDQ Unstoppable Force Eliza Meets Immovable Object Big Band.]]
60* Eliza's [[http://37.media.tumblr.com/c10053151eeb8235c215fe1e4eb7a9c2/tumblr_nabyalvelV1tx6aapo1_1280.png placeholder loading screen image]] on Endless Beta is ''hilarious''.
61* Eliza's intro line when facing Valentine: "Were you blessed by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taweret Taweret]][[note]]a fertility goddess[[/note]], or [[FakeBoobs by a scalpel]]?"
62** If you're the type for punny mythology references, Eliza's moves contain a few: Khepri Sun (Khepri being a solar god), Upper Khat (a pharaoh's headdress), and Albus will occasionally exclaim "Let's duat!" during his assist (Duat, the Egyptian land of the dead).
63** Horace's quotes of Falcon Dive; a bird screech, him shouting "Screeech!", and him saying "I am screeching!" in his usual BattleButler way.
64* Beowulf annoying Double with his bravado even after she trapped him in Gehenna is an understated comic moment.
65* At the end of Beowulf's story, he starts working alongside Annie in her Girl of the Stars show. Cut to Peacock sitting on the couch clutching at her head with an utterly confused expression, mostly at the way Beowulf suddenly changed from playing a minor reocurring villain in a funny costume to a central hero in shiny armour.
66-->'''Peacock:''' This show doesn't make any sense. Who is that idiot? Didn't he used to be a bad guy?\
67'''Avery:''' Who cares, as long as there are sweet, sweet toys?\
68'''Tommy:''' What the heck are you guys talkin' about?
69** Towards the end of it, as Beowulf and Annie look out at the catacombs after defeating Marie and Double, the Penguin Feral Referee from Beowulf's Hype-boosted Canis Major Press is just randomly standing there as if he's been there with them the whole time!
70* One of Beowulf's running gags is how he'll [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson proclaim his triumphant return to half the neighborhoods/wards in the game.]] But when he gets to [[EldritchLocation Gehena]]...
71--> "Finally! The Wulf has come back to... [[WombLevel wait, what?]]"
72** Beowulf's storyline also manages to give ''Double'' of all characters a scene that has an odd amount of hilarity to it given the horror involved. After she reveals she was posing as Zane, she does so by opening the false body's face to reveal her "Sister Agatha" disguise wearing Zane's glasses and a smug grin. After Beowulf calls her insane, she replies with a ''pun''.
73---> "I'm afraid you are mistaken, Beowulf. ''You're'' the one who is '''''IN ZANE!'''''
74* The entirety of Robo-Fortune's story. Highlights include Robo-Fortune having a Keyboard Cat talksprite, Valentine's drawing of Ms. Fortune, and there basically being NoFourthWall.
75-->'''Robo-Fortune:''' '''... Also, did you just give away a major plot point?'''\
76'''Marie:''' Don't worry, nobody will think [[WhoWritesThisCrap any of this nonsense]] is canon.\
77'''Marie:''' [[GenreSavvy Now let us act out our existential angst as this genre demands... in an ostentatious final boss battle.]]
78** Furthermore, it makes no bones about making Brain Drain, who is normally TheDreaded, look absolutely ridiculous.
79** The entire starting point for the story is Valentine sending a "Report" covered in scribbles about how cool Ms. Fortune is. Brain Drain promptly [[NotSoStoic loses his shit, tears the report to shreds, and begins yelling]].
80--->'''Report:''' hed comes off! tail sword so kewl! adorable feral kitty awwww :) blood?? so dark & hardkore! omg so funny heehee amazing can we keep her???\
81'''Brain Drain:''' '''THAT'S JUST STUPID!!!''' I could make something better in every way! ''I'll show her...'' (His GlowingMechanicalEyes [[GlowingEyesOfDoom suddenly surge with power]]) '''''[[LargeHam I'LL SHOW THEM AAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!]]'''''
82** How does Brain Drain learn that Valentine is a traitor? The radio switches on and screams that the nurse has led the Skullgirl right to them. ''Right after Brain drain wonders if he can still trust Valentine''. Brain Drain pretty much goes "Yeah, called that one."
83** After finally constructing Robo-Fortune, Brain Drain is inexplicably wearing glasses and a shirt with a loose tie and rolled up sleeves while smoking a cigarette, as if he's human.
84--->'''Brain Drain:''' Identify yourself.\
85'''Robo-Fortune:''' '''[[VideoGame/MegaMan7 I AM MORE THAN A ROBOT]]. [[ByNoIMeanYes Except... not really]]. Playing off error.''' ''(Begins playing piano)'' '''[[Memes/OtherInternet DOOT-DOOT-DOOT-DOOT-DO-DO-DOO, DOOT-DOOT-DOOT-DOOT-DO-DO-DOO]]'''\
86'''Brain Drain:''' ''(FacePalm, with CrossPoppingVeins)'' [[NoJustNoReaction NO. None of that]]. Just state your name and objective.\
87'''Robo-Fortune:''' '''Dramatic [[{{Pun}} PAWS]].''' ''({{Beat}})'' '''I am Robo-Fortune. Created to destroy the Skullgirl as well as all who stand in Lab 0's way.''' ''(Makes SuperDeformed cat smile)'' '''[[Memes/OtherInternet Can I having been acquired a cheezburger?]]'''\
88'''Brain Drain:''' ([[CollectiveGroan Ughhh...]]) ...I suppose this will have to suffice. Now get out there and execute your mission. I'm going back to the drawing board to think about where I went wrong.\
89'''Robo-Fortune''': '''BEEP BOOP. [[PlotArmor Plot shields]] operating at maximum; I [[DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist will not fail]], barring [[RageQuit control unit apathy]].'''\
90'''Brain Drain:''' [[Film/RobotJox Crash and burn]]. If you see Painwheel, tell her I'm sick of her ignoring my messages.\
91''[Robo-Fortune is seen going up an elevator. Scene changes to a trapdoor on the outside. It doesn't open, and something hits causing a dent with an audible GONG! The trapdoor opens to show Robo-Fortune in pieces.]''
92** Robo-Fortune fights Valentine and gets called out since they're on the same side leading to...
93--->'''Valentine:''' Why are you attacking me? We're on the same side!
94--->'''Robo-Fortune:''' BEEP BOOP MEOW. I am sorry, but my creator really wanted to prove he could do better than: Quote, ''(Makes finger quotes and plays a recording of Brain Drain)'' "That stupid cat in those dumb drawings." ''(Normal)'' End quote.
95--->'''Valentine:''' Of all the petty, ridiculous...
96--->'''Robo-Fortune:''' He has also labeled you a traitor.
97--->'''Valentine:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext What!? This is what I get for trying to save Christmas?!]]
98** Among the first things Robo-Fortune says in her story, she makes a reference to the PlotArmor that is oh-so prevalent in the game.
99** If Robo-Fortune fights Ms. Fortune in a match and wins a round, Ms. Fortune falls over with an annoyed "Not. Funny!" Sorry cat lady, it actually is.
100** The ending of Robo-Fortune's story has [[ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast giant Robo-Fortunes]] declare war on human fallibility and lay waste to everything. It then cuts to Venus and Aeon, who are absolutely astounded that everybody did their jobs for them.
101*** There's also the cutscene before the ending, where Robo-Fortune returns to Brain Drain, [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe who's utterly bamboozled that]] [[DarkHorseVictory Robo-Fortune actually stopped the Skullgirl]].
102----> '''Brain:''' (WildTake) You SUCCEEDED?!?! [[IMeantToDoThat I-I mean, of course you did. I built you after all.]] [[TranshumanTreachery Never send an organic to do a machine's job.]]\
103'''Robo-Fortune:''' '''BEEP BOOP. [[HypocrisyNod Your brain is organic, and has the most important job of-]]'''\
104'''Brain Drain:''' ''[[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject Moving on!]]''
105* Near the end of Annie’s story mode, Big Band and Squiggly promise to keep Valentine at bay so Annie can handle Marie. Which [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/4bc2beee3219142c422566781b443e66/79a8d0528ea6d42d-75/s540x810/119790a197be86702815cb72c59c9df0f62baa5a.png leads]] [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/8fdde2ef2f5210652fa9bd6adc8cf0a0/79a8d0528ea6d42d-61/s540x810/74bb69d3e9d3e495f4726186dd364b2a8f96ebf1.png to]] [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/0cb89cc50c6672a16dde8868c5e2ddc3/79a8d0528ea6d42d-29/s540x810/9a7b08adf02b7845e931fe8dde061cc40a6842ce.png this]] [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/ff9035fa789be1e9cfd3570952b2397f/79a8d0528ea6d42d-1a/s540x810/0d81f0e740f7f79ae39ed1584238f94efa48d40d.png exchange]]. Valentine is [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/c1e5de01444465244840fdd934543786/79a8d0528ea6d42d-e3/s540x810/149a76977cacab6c424c43200efa4fed09abbd7d.png not]] [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/bc7e36bc734c117e41fe3c18e0dfcf2a/79a8d0528ea6d42d-45/s1280x1920/7e61b3a5ddbbe6c2d5d2946b2c081d07aaf5b145.png amused]].
106** At the beginning of Annie's story mode, she fights Robo-Fortune. It's not an attack, her show's production team found Robo-Fortune outside, fixed her up, and offered her a role as a MonsterOfTheWeek. Aftwards, Robo-Fortune does her piano-cat impression for Aileen.
107* A couple of Umbrella's moves have Hungern cause their opponent to be trapped in a large bubble, ''VideoGame/BubbleBobble''-style. Most characters react how you'd expect, ranging from confusion to just plain annoyance. There are a few exceptions, and some of the non-exceptions are also pretty funny:
108** Peacock, with George by her side, suddenly gains ''snorkeling gear''.
109** Ms. Fortune [[CatsHateWater absolutely freaks out and her tail puffs up.]]
110** Painhweel is furious and whips out her NightmareFace.
111** An annoyed Valentine whips out a canister of oxygen and breathes from it.
112** Squigly is just a bit surprised, but Leviathan is terrified.
113** Double and Big Band, due to their large body masses, are particularly crammed into Umbrella's bubbles.
114** Eliza's pose is pretty much copied straight from Egyptian murals.
115** Robo-Fortune's (utterly terrified) head falls off, despite the regular Ms. Fortune keeping her head on.
116** Annie sits down on Sagan with a look of total annoyance on her face.
117** The most hilarious of all of these is Fukua, who ''actually got new art specifically for this''. What does she do? Why, perform Shadow the Hedgehog's pose from the ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' box art, of course! To add to the hilarity, she's inexplicably holding a banana in her pointing hand.
118** Debatably topping even Fukua is Marie, who [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1-aoE4KowJQ takes an impromptu bubble bath]], complete with a skeletonized rubber duck.
119* Speaking of Umbrella, her story mode has some gems, too. For example, when she's contemplating what atrocities Cerebella said her parents committed, Beowulf comes along, trying to advise her to get home safely. Umbrella's response?
120-->'''Umbrella:''' Look, mister, I'm trying to have an existential crisis here, and it's really hard when you won't leave me alone.
121* This exchange during Painwheel's Origin in ''Skullgirls Mobile'';
122-->'''Medici Goon:''' Go ahead and say that to me again, and this time, LISTEN to yourself.\
123'''Medici Goon:''' Okaaay. [[ARareSentence A giant saxophone wearing a trench coat]] hit three of our-- [[CassandraTruth ...oh.]]
124* One of Black Dahlia's Blockbusters, Parting Gift, has her toss a batch of dynamite that sticks to any character in its throwing arc. And when we say "any character", we do also in fact mean ''your assists'', enabling them to become... ''acceptable collateral'', as some might say. On top of that, after spending another bar to perform the super again, Dahlia pulls out the detonator... and won't hit the switch until you press a button (at the cost of one more bar of meter draining, at which point she hits it automatically). Gotta wait for just the right time, after all!
125* Black Dahlia's story mode may be a [[NightmareFuel very jarring]] [[TheBadGuyWins tonal shift]] from the other two in the season 1 pass, but that doesn't mean it lacks it's funny moments. The ''[[ArtifactOfDoom Skull Heart]]'' of all things is made into a ButtMonkey as it tries repeatedly to get someone to make a wish on it to no avail, in a vein similar to Peacock's scrapped story mode ending. And could anyone have guessed that Black Dahlia's story mode is where we would get the canonical debut of ''[[AprilFoolsDay Fuk]]''''[[LethalJokeCharacter ua?]]''
126** Fukua doesn't disappoint just because she's reached canon status either. Her dialogue mostly consists of her trying to warn everyone about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt - which might be rather serious if it was anyone else and at a different time, but there is just ''so'' much more going on when she shows up that her dialogue is absurdly out of place to the point of hilarity. Though, it becomes a bit ''less'' funny when you reach [[ApocalypseHow the end of Black Dahlia's story mode]] [[CassandraTruth and realize it wasn't a joke.]]
127** Ms. Fortune [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath getting crushed into the Life Gem like she is at the end of Cerebella's story mode?]] Horrifying. The fact that it happens so ''abruptly,'' at the hands of Robo-Fortune's so-called "trash compacter" mode? ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice Hilarious.]]''
128* One of Marie's lines when grabbing the opponent and spinning them around suggests that she's trying to teach them ''the hokey-pokey''.
129--> You put your right foot in and shake it all about!
130* An update in early February 2024 re-introduced the Soviet Announcer, now voiced by Gary Schwartz. Yes, as in ''[[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 THAT]]'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJQ_Qq4LptY Gary Schwartz]]. No lines were removed (in fact, a few were added, mainly just to reference Heavy), meaning that we essentially have ''semi-official recordings of Heavy doing [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders DIO's time stop]]'', among other things.
131
132!!The Webcomic
133* Following a grim prologue of a first chapter, the second chapter opens to Parasoul interrogating Beowulf in his apartment.
134* Panzerfaust is constantly knocking stuff over while in Beowulf's place.
135* The car that Parasoul's squad takes isn't that tiny. However Panzerfaust in his armor is so big that he smushes Molly, who is driving.
136* Parasoul's group finding Theodore dead is admittedly pretty grim. As they are investigating though, they catch Ms. Fortune in the middle of trying to break open a briefcase. Her response to being scene is as amusing as it is familiar.
137-->'''Ms. Fortune:''' [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 Uh... meow?]]
138* Episode 3
139** Adam calls Panzerfaust "Mr. Articulate". The insult flies over Panzerfaust's head. Although Molly states after beating Adam that she would tell Panzerfaust.
140** The next round of sparring has Molly face against Parasoul while Adam is forced to face Panzerfaust. While Molly is able to hold her own for a bit, Adam is desperately trying not to get crushed.
141** The second half of the comic focuses on the Anti-Skullgirl Lab. Peacock's entrance is as over the top as one would expect.
142* Episode 10
143** It introduces us to the character of Ferdinand.
144--->'''Adam:''' Wait, I know this guy... He used to be an Egret, but got the boot for...what was it again Molly?
145--->'''Molly:''' (Checking her notes) Shrine to Princess Parasoul found in his quarters, as well as numerous hand-written loveletters. Personal sketchbook with repetitive romantic phrasing and, uh... reciepts from various tattoo parlors
146--->'''Adam:''' Oh, right.
147--->(cue snickering from the Egrets following Ferdinand)
148--->'''Ferdinand''': It... it was hardly a shrine. And for the record I only sent three of those letters...
149* Episode 13
150** One of Lorenzo evil plans include [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/e8998ddea9dd7fef5cbb7b5199e61637/19d0c4e5908f5c3a-75/s1280x1920/6eb7b80cf47ba0c37a9659fa6bd7c31f49da8714.jpg making a gold statue of himself]] like some cartoon villain. Not to mention it doesn't seem he knows that pure gold is too soft for that.
151** Umbrella having [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/550bbc90d97853d9258848914733f149/19d0c4e5908f5c3a-f7/s1280x1920/3198c655415974f6eb6d9bea6deb3bffeb20d648.jpg Among us eyes]]. That's a funny shout-out.
152* [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/skullgirls/episode-14/viewer?title_no=2734&episode_no=15 Episode 14]]
153** We get to see how the Fishbone Gang stole the life gem from Lorenzo, and it is HILARIOUS!
154** A cleaning crew (who look like the Manga/LupinTheThird gang) was sent to clean up the mess caused by the fights in the earlier chapters only to get mugged for their clothes by most of the Fishbone Gang.
155** How do the Fishbones deal with Ottomo? Sinker (the Piranha Dagonian) targeted Tom via leaving a glass of brandy. The schmuck actually left his mech (muttering "Ohboy, ohboy, ohboy!") only to get hit with a sleeping toxin courtesy of Toady (The pufferfish dagonian) and dress Tom up like a little baby.
156* Episode 18:
157** Due to Big Band joining Parasoul's squad on the way to Maplecrest, this means poor Adam is squished between both Ben ''and'' Panzerfaust in the back seat of the car.
158* Episode 19:
159** Look at Cerebella's face when she and Eliza catch up to the Fishbone Gang, and one of them starts putting on the charm for Eliza.
160* Episode 23:
161** Ms. Fortune's first-time reassembling herself. After pulling herself together, she takes a few steps...and immediately falls to pieces.
162-->'''Ms. Fortune:''' What am I even sweating for? Cats always land on their f- ''(Collapses)'' '''EEEEET!''' This may take a while.

165!!Meta
166* On the Meta side of things, some of the voice actresses from the game have a few rounds with each other, and each one of them descends into Crowning Moment of Funny material. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5KyECTrAkE The first video alone]] includes Creator/{{Erin|Fitzgerald}} (Parasoul) descending into raving insanity for about 30 seconds and putting twists onto her existing lines, while Creator/{{Sarah|AnneWilliams}} (Peacock) raves about shouting things like "I see London, I see France..."
167** "Look at that, I crowned a princess!"
168*** Pretty much any line Sarah says due to her being a LargeHam.
169** "TAKE THE SHOT! '''''TAKE THE GODDAMN SHOT!!'''''"
170*** "Where the ''hell'' are my followers? Goddamn Egrets!"
171** At the end they are ''both'' reduced to incoherent screaming.
172---> '''Sarah''': Did we just have sex?! Is that what happened here?
173** Throughout the video, Erin frequently faux-yelps whenever an attack lands on Parasoul; to some people, these might sound more of [[OrgasmicCombat ecstasy]] than pain.
174** The battle between [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4cZkhiP5g0 Laura (Valentine) and Sarah (Peacock)]] is pretty glorious as well. Starting with Sarah shouting "HELLOOOOO NURSE!!", followed by Laura trying to convince Sarah there is candy in her truck, prompting Danielle (Painwheel) to say "Don't go in that truck, I made that mistake and [[BodyHorror look at me now!]]" Also "''WHAT'' HONOR?! I'm a [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] ''cartoon'', [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch you bitch]]! I have ''nothing!''"
175*** [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes "The merry-go-round broke down!"]]
176*** Sarah's Peacock gets away from Laura's Valentine, who was sawing her head off in mid-air:
177----> '''Sarah''': No, no! It's elective, it's ''elective'' surgery!\
178'''Laura''': I dunno...I could really help you, uh, look better in that dress...\
179'''Sarah''': You--Have you ''seen'' my measurements on the website?! I have no figure, there's ''nothing'' you can do for me!
180*** Then, in Round 2, there's this moment after Sarah successfully lands an Argus Agony Blockbuster move:
181---->'''Sarah''': "Oh, there it is! Finally, I countered her! I countered her. Look what I did, Mom! Look what I did! Are you proud of me?! Do you love me now, Mommy?!"\
182''(Peacock then gets hit by an EKG Flatliner attack)''\
183'''Laura''': "No. No, Mommy does not love you at all."
184*** Speaking of the EKG Flatliner, Sarah often lets out a high-pitched "EEE!" when she gets hit by one.
185*** And then there's every time when Laura accidentally activates the EKG Flatliner in the air and misses, followed almost ALWAYS by "NO NOT IN THE AIR!!!"
186*** And when Peacock sends out the big bomb, they frantically try to get as far away from it as possible.
187** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Bhcp4Aa7w Erin (Parasoul) vs Laura (Valentine)'s 1st fight]]. Anything from near the end of Round 1 and onward is just going to have tears coming out of your eyes, and most of the time it's going to be Erin's innuendo or LargeHam moments. These moments are connected to each other practically in the span of seconds, and it doesn't even end there:
188--->'''Erin''': (after just beating Laura) OHHHHHHHHHHH, ''YES'', THAT FELT GOOD! OH, I AM HEALED! Praise the Lord!\
189'''Erin''': Oooh, I feel better already! You ''are'' good for my health!\
190'''Erin''': You don't know how to operate your titties the way I know how to operate ''my'' titties! My titties are all ''organized''.
191** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGWE8S3C1OM Kimlinh (Ms. Fortune) takes on Laura.]] The inevitable HurricaneOfPuns, followed by Kimlinh managing to pull off Fortune's head grab.
192--->'''Kimlinh''': Yes! I ''nommed'' you!... Your boobs taste funny. They taste like ''plastic''.\
193'''Laura''' ''(after winning a round)'': You might be a Skullgirl, but I'm a Skull'''''woman!'''''
194** And now they [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xBvD_iF1nk play the story mode]], with some dubbing involved. The hilarity in these cases however stems not only from the voice actresses, but the cameraman, AKA one of the Egrets. Crowning goes to his performance as Dr. Avian, and [[ItMakesSenseInContext Fat Albert!Double]].
195*** "I'm thirteen; I'm a fucking neonate!"
196*** "Dr. Avian! Who did this to you...?" (beat) "''WHERE THE FUCK '''WERE''' YOU?! Look at me!''"
197---->"Oh my god, [[EyeScream my eyeball isn't even in my socket anymore!]] What the hell is this!?"\
198"Oh quit your bitching, I got none."
199** Also, Brain Drain.
200** And now [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7ZI5MpmY8A they got Rich Brown back to dub Big Band's story mode]], and you can see him getting more and more into it throughout the three parts. Includes Kaiji's reprised role as Brain Drain for a sustained cutscene conversation, Rich Brown's Bing Crosby impression and the RunningGag that Dr. Avian isn't actually dead, among many other moments.
201--->'''Kaiji!Irvin:''' Sorry, Ben, she's with me. Little flakey, but she gets the job done... in the end. She's helping me do some recon.\
202'''Christine (or possibly Sarah):''' At least he's getting a little [[{{Pun}} pussy]] action on the side.\
203'''Rich!Big Band:''' You used to cuff 'em, not cuddle 'em.\
204'''Kaiji!Irvin:''' And you used to not beat up women randomly [[SarcasmMode but y'know, we all change I guess]].
205** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqUwQ8FrIio playthrough of Parasoul's story mode]] has a few gems too. Among them include Parasoul descending into madness [[RunningGag (again)]], [[ShoutOut/{{Skullgirls}} Molly being voiced by a Wobbuffet]], and this moment after Umbrella pokes Parasoul's chest:
206--->'''Erin!Parasoul:''' We'll go after we return to the castle. Get your finger off my boob.\
207'''Sarah!Umbrella:''' ...I'm stuck.
208** The training series, Mike Z trains Parasoul. Where Mike [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin trains Erin in the fine art of using Parasoul]], while slipping into many faux accents, from German to French to British to... [[Funny/BlazBlue of course]] [[MemeticMutation Russian]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-QGQyL7qjQ Parts 1]],[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4fH6r1uIwY 2]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQv1bnKATkM 3]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dNc7W3HSTM 4]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuqyyKm7gIY 5]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8r69cRJknI 6]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uTnLCIFCak 7]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeMgwltjwjQ 8]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDCnRqCutF4 9]]
209*** Then he tries to do the same with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0PFo3F3Wwo Peacock]], at least until Sarah starts singing "[[Music/TheBeeGees Stayin' Alive"]]. Mike Z has none of that and [[CurbStompBattle ends it right then and there]].
210** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqDdnZhobp0 Christine (Filia) and Cristina (Cerebella) fail at trash talk.]] And it's adorable.
211*** [[LameComeback "Um, yeah! You- you're terrible!"]]
212*** "Let me hug you."
213*** [[Wrestling/RandySavage Macho Man]] Samson.
214** A bunch of voice actors have a Skullgirls party at Creator/LittleKuriboh's house. Highlights include:
215*** Charlotte Ann, the voice actress for Double, finally shows up. Naturally, this leads to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Z03UzBlns Democratic Double versus]] [[WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids Republican Double]]. "[[CallingYourAttacks REPUBLICAN CAR!!]]"
216*** Also makes an appearance in the playthrough of Ms. Fortune's story mode:
217---->'''(Republican) Double''': HEY, HEY, HEY, Lady Valentine! The Skullgirl has requested your presence at the Cathedral.\
218'''Valentine''' I'll be there soon, Double...\
219'''(Republican) Double''': YEAH!\
220'''Valentine''' ...Return to Marie and let her know I found Lorenzo...\
221'''(Republican) Double''': ALL RIGHT!\
222'''Valentine''' ...His minions led me right to him.\
223'''(Republican) Double''': FUCKING AWESOME!\
224'''Valentine''' I just had to stop and perform a little experiment on our feline friend here.\
225'''(Republican) Double''': That's sexual!\
226''(Later, at the Cathedral of the Trinity)''\
227'''(Republican) Double''': HEY, HEY, HEY! I'M A NUN AND THIS IS A CHURCH! YOU IN MY HOUSE NOW, MOTHERFUCKER!
228*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aGM-TTdLBw Then she goes against]] Martin himself doing his [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Abridged!Yami]] voice the entire match.
229*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWlniQ3joS8 The fight]] between the [[TheOtherDarrin original voice]] of Peacock, Marianne Miller [[note]] who happens to be Martin's wife and is apparently drunk[[/note]] and her successor, Creator/SarahAnneWilliams, as ThereCanOnlyBeOne. Then they both follow Erin's example and go batshit insane.
230*** [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela Cristina Vee]] [[TookALevelInBadAss Taking A Level In Badass]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6ik-3DZvx8 winning]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zh8eBF5oXc every]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX6RMND36LM match]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BphMvC7bKSw she]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iggPl0iXni4 played]] -- not surprising, as she was already declaring her intention to learn the game months before it came out. Naturally, it gets to the point where they just want someone to beat her, but she never lets off her LetsGetDangerous moment.
231** Two of the Egret voice actors have a MirrorMatch, both using Parasoul, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OWk9CGE6AM to hear their own voice lines]].
232--->"Eric, let me touch you with my umbrella."\
233"No."\
234"Lemme touch you with my umbrella."\
235"No."\
236''"Lemme touch you with my umbrella."''\
237"Dude that's gay."\
238'''"Let me touch you with my umbrella!"'''\
239"You gotta say no hom-"\
240'''"LET ME TOUCH YOU WITH MY UMBRELLA!"'''\
241'''"Say no homo first!"'''\
242"...No homo."\
243''"There, ok fine."''\
244'''Sarah:''' It's not gay if the tips don't touch!\
245"Wait, what about if it's ''just the tips'' touching?"\
246'''Sarah:''' Then you should probably have a long talk afterwards.
247** As well as Ms. Fortune's mentioned above, the other cast playthroughs of story mode are each gems in their own right. From Double's playthrough, and to the tune of 'In The Navy':
248---> ''In the Trinity... You can lose your fucking mind, IN THE TRINITY!''
249** In Filia's story playthrough, Christina loses to Marie several times. With each one, the space-filler sprite of Filia at the side of the screen switches to become increasingly sad, and then angry.
250** The [=VAs=] are at it again during the Breast Cancer donation drive: ''Every'' main voice actor for the game except for Danielle attended, and they did more story mode "dubbing". Since Del also couldn't come[[labelnote:*]]Because there is no "Del" and Patrick Seitz was still keeping the fact that he voiced Samson a secret[[/labelnote]], they got ''Mike Z'' to dub Samson... which, of course, he did in his '''REAL SOVIET DAMAGE''' voice.
251** They held another livestreaming event for the Breast Cancer donation drive: The only absent VA was Christine (with Danielle and Sarah making late but grand entrances). Even more story mode "dubbing" ensued. Other highlights include Laura, Cristina, Kimlinh, and Erin all singing "A Whole New World", most [=VAs=] taking requests for other character voices, and Squigly's formal debut and the [=VAs'=] reactions to it.
252*** The videos for the stream can be found [[http://www.twitch.tv/eightysixed/videos?kind=past_broadcasts here]], with most of the events happening in [[http://www.twitch.tv/eightysixed/b/362778320 this one]].
253* Also on the meta side, people's reactions to Double. See the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyC4PQwdONc#t=65s iron gamers at 1:05]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H43VcZh53e0#t=587s Maximilian's first reaction at 9:47]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Cnhe4lcic#t=343s his comment on her at 5:43.]]
254* After the patch came out, Mike Z did a series with Crossover Counter TV to promote the game for the hardcore community. And in one video, guess who returns? [[CallBack SOVIET]] [[Funny/BlazBlue MIKE]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an7mQobK-PU&feature=player_embedded Z!]]
255* Mike Z introduces the voice of Big Band:
256-->'''Mike Z''': So I'm just gonna let him say hi and convince you all that he should be doing this character.\
257'''Rich Brown''': Hello. How's everybody doing out there in chatland?\
258'''Mike Z''': That's really all we needed.
259** Rich has since become a recurring guest on Salty Cupcakes, and his epic voice has led to many a [[MemeticMutation chat meme]] based on the fact that his name is ''[[AwesomeMcCoolName Rich Brown]]''.
260* A ''very'' drunk Sarah [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VDMPwCQSq0 regales us]] with [[BlatantLies the magnificent story]] [[MemeticBadass of Yu-Wan]].
261** [[https://youtu.be/4yX2OwFu61M It's been animated so Peacock tells the story.]]
262* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DR7zOsO7Rc Baby Skullgirls]].
263* At Salty Cupcakes, when [[AccidentalInnuendo people start talking about all the team name innuendo that can be had]] [[http://www.twitch.tv/eightysixed/b/413654202?t=01h05m33s with some of the upcoming characters]], Danielle (Voice of Painwheel) [[ShipperOnDeck starts adding "I ship it" after every new name.]]
264* Big Band will be able to play actual music with his standing Medium Punch. [[http://www.twitch.tv/eightysixed/b/457037833 Mike Z demonstrates using "Charge!" as an example.]] (Starts at 2:50)
265* The GilliganCut between two of the Skullfaced videos.
266-->'''Creator/ErinFitzgerald:''' I am remaining sober this evening, for I am ''Irish'', heh-and if I get drunk, it will all go to hell too very quickly.\
267'''The next video:'''\
268"Erin Fitzgerald has been drinking for the past seven hours. She's fine! Look at her. She's Irish. I don't know..."\
269'''Erin Fitzgerald:''' Happy Saint Patrick's Day, egrets. I decided since that it was Saint Patrick's Day, I was gonna go hard. Erin go brah.
270** And the best part? ''[[NeverGetsDrunk She never got drunk for the entire series.]]''
271* [[VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead The Typing of the Skullgirls Encore.]] [[http://www.twitch.tv/eightysixed/b/489057398 It must be seen to be believed.]]
272* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXN5yr4dGIc Fukua]]...a TakeThat to Capcom's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dC-Hl33Xqpk Decapre trailer]] for ''Ultra VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' in the form of a palette-swapped and moveset-altered version of Filia. But, as the video description says, Lab Zero believes in taking a joke as far as it can go...which means Fukua is an ''actual, playable character'' now.
273** The best part? Look at her [[https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/Skullgirls/Fukua#Colors alternate costumes]]. Most of them are references to other clones and/or palette swaps in video games.
274* The game's method of CopyProtection is a bit of a chuckle. If your copy of Skullgirls is pirated, a message will display saying "[[NonSequitur What is the square root of a fish? Now I'm sad.]]" What makes it funny is that it managed to trick a lot of pirates into an EngineeredPublicConfession as they went to Twitter to ask about the message just to be told that it means they pirated the game.
275* Before officially being cast as Beowulf, Kai Kennedy made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQLlzFxS6yA a concept voice reel]] of him. His ridiculously hammy voice is worth a few laughs by itself, but some of the quotes are just gold too.
276-->(to Filia) ''Hey nice hair, I'' '''[[BigOMG OH MY GOD]] [[WhatTheHellAreYou WHAT THE HELL IS]] [[PrehensileHair THAT THING?!]]'''\
277(to Squigly) ''[[TheSymbiote You got]] [[OurDragonsAreDifferent a dragon]] huh? Well I got a [[ChairmanOfTheBrawl chair]], [[ExplainExplainOhCrap so...]] [[ThisIsGonnaSuck yeah...]]''\
278(to Eliza) ''Aw sweet, I love your records! But I'm still gonna have to suplex you. [[ApologeticAttacker Sorry.]]''
279* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4A-z_GmPlc Skullgirls version of Lore In A Minute]], complete with the voice of Kira Buckland (voice of Marie). WARNING: Contains spoilers for Squigly's Story Mode.
280--> ''Now it's up to you to [[ImprobablyFemaleCast pick a girl]] ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg or a giant tuba-man]]), fight your way to the lair of the Skull Heart and defeat the Skullgirl's [[SNKBoss three super-cheap forms]], claiming the Skull Heart for yourself in [[BlatantLies what definitely probably will not backfire ever]].''
281* The website's official bio and description of Robo-Fortune:
282--> ''Robo Fortune is the creation of Brain Drain, the psychic director of ASG Lab Zero, and stands as a testament to her maniacal creator’s unmatched pride and petulance. Built to demonstrate loyalty and cunning, Robo Fortune fails to deliver either to any measurable degree. Employing cutting-edge technology, she sets out to hunt down the Skullgirl, and to engage in easily avoidable conflicts.''\
283''Is the ASG Project’s latest creation the ultimate cybernetic soldier? Have Brain Drain’s mechanical machinations set the world on a treacherous path? Is Robo Fortune’s faulty programming more of a feature than a bug? Has science gone too far?!''
284* The entirety of the "Skullfaced" series.
285* This page in a cheat book. It's hilariously bad. http://m.imgur.com/gallery/zvFFPjF
