    In-Game 
  • One of the game's taglines is "Don't be a dick", citing teabagging as a specific example. If you actually do teabag someone in-game, you get treated to a special voice line.
  • All the mercenaries have very classy insults.
    Rhino: "Your anger, while understandable, is none the less futile."
    Phantom: "Hey, asshole! The asshole store called and they ran out of you!"
    Arty/Sawbonez: "You may say that, but it sounds like 'I love you.'"
  • Every mercenary also has access to special taunts, some of which stand above the rest.
    Aura: "Aw, bitch, bitch, bitch."
    Arty: "Ah, go fuck yourself."
    Thunder: "You are so very dead. Just like dreams."
  • The Defibrillators are mainly used to revive downed teammates. It gets funny when you accidentally kill any enemy in your way with them.
  • Before they reworked the tutorial to be more informative and useful, Skyhammer's sequence ended with him repairing a generator, only for it to explode and fill the room with poisonous gas. The game just buggered off and swap you into Aura.
  • The "sorry" voice command typically gives a short and generic voice line, but it occasionally brings out really long gems.
    Bushwhacker: "I thought I was sorry before, but the veritable tsunami of regret and apologies I’m currently experiencing. Why, it may never truly end. The river of language overflows its banks in shame, yet I still cannot express how truly sorry I am."
  • The mercenaries usually spout generic "Aw, yeah!" voice commands. Kira is an exception.
    Kira: Kawaii!
    • Even if she doesn't say it, she provides another gem.
    "In your balls!"
  • Melee-only Phantoms and Kiras are typically looked down upon for being loads. A skilled enough player who decides to do this can run circles around the enemy team, leading to a shower of salt.
  • Every merc, aside from the usual expression of gratitude, can say pretty weird or flirty stuff after being revived.
    Thunder: "I see white light. Then, I see you. Prefer light."
    Aimee: "I'm alive... and stuff."
    Kira: "Aw, you're so cute! Wait, is that a side effect?"
  • The hammy ways most mercs announce their abilities.
    Fletcher: "Fire in your hole!"
    Nader: "Like little eggs of death!"
    Thunder: "I bang you all!"
  • The male announcer is pretty snarky regardless of whether you win or lose.
    "Ah, well. You tried."
    "Mission completed, but you made that look like hard work."
  • Virtually everything Fragger says.
    "I just gave you a second asshole, asshole!"
    "I thought I saw my mother. But she lives in Vermont, and that makes no sense. ANYWAY, BACK TO KILLING."
    "I've had dolls' picnics hurt worse than that. Much worse. Dolls are mean, man."
    "You call that a wound, yeah? Well, I would also call that a wound."
    "It's like shooting turkeys! Quite heavily armed turkeys, but I think the analogy still stands!"
    "You suck like a vaccuum cleaner. But less usefully. You don't even clean stuff up. You don't even have an electric cord, or a nozzle. You're not even an appliance! ARE YOU? Are you?"

    Lore 
  • The reason that Phoenix lost his leg is because he tried using his nanites to remove a calf tattoo.
  • Vassili missed a shot against a political candidate and is now wanted by the government.
  • One of Sparks' identities is a police officer named Jeff.
  • Thunder's bio suggests that he actually isn't actually Russian and is just pretending to be for whatever reason.
  • Phantom incriminated his commanding officer with livestock.
  • If you have a secret you're just dying to share... Arty doesn't give a shit.
  • There are a few voice lines that aren't accessible in-game but can be found with some digging.
    Sawbonez: "My classmates are all doing boob jobs and here I am."
    Vassili: "I work best alone. I eat best alone. And I sleep best … (sobs)"
    Stoker: "Madam in the morning, you’ll still be a horrendous harridan and I’ll be drunk."
  • How Sparks got the tech for her rifle.
    A Senior Pirin executive was known to frequent the local karaoke bar after work, and it is likely that the card was lifted whilst they were belting out 80s classics. An expert in impersonation, Sparks then walked into the facility and stole the tech.

    Videos and Update Pages 
  • From the "Mercs In Training Video".
    "As they say: "What's a little radiation sickness when there's money to be made?"
    "The number one key to teamwork is this: Don't be a dick." (cue Arty teabagging Skyhammer)
    "To revive me when you're a medic and I'm just lying there in agony. (Beat). In agony. (Beat) In agony!."
  • In Nader's introduction video, her Martyrdom ability is showcased being used on a teabagging enemy.
  • The video revealing when the MOFO update was planned to hit.
    Shoe: (clips cut from the earlier videos): You should expect the update to hit in early November. In Early November. In Early November. Early November.
    Shoe: "When's the BLEEP update!"
  • From the MOFO update video.
    Male Announcer: "I need someone to swear at to feel whole."
  • What's better than the snarky Jackal commander reacting on your victories and defeats? Having him react and/or recite community-submitted voice lines, of course!
    Jackal Commander: "Kira! What the bloody hell is a cow-eyenote ?! Knock it off!"
    Jackal Commander: "Colon, Dee!note "
    Jackal Commander: "A meme update! Finally I can uninstall!"
    Jackal Commander: "Which fucking genius thought shootin' explosives at a lab containing potentially volatile drug samples WAS A GOOD IDEA?!" (beat) "Oh, that was me!"
    Jackal Commander: "Are you even listening to what I say, mercs?! ARE YOU?!" (beat) "What..? They can't t—... they can't talk back? Oh, that explains everything. Sorry!"
  • The MercServ Tutorial videos. Basically, they give as much information about the game mechanics as possible while also keeping their signature snark, including little figurines of mercs hopping around while doing objectives.
    • E is for "Emmo."
