History Funny / MegaMan

* Cut Man appears as a BonusBoss in the Sega Saturn version of ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''. When he is defeated, he...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONJ8ix_BMi0&feature=youtu.be&t=1m35s makes just about the strangest sound in existence]].

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLFW8KiVJBU 30th Anniversary video]] that would lead up to ''Mega Man 11'' celebrates the franchise by showcasing every entry in the series through the years. In a bout of self-deprecating humor, the dearth of content after the 2010 mark is depicted by Mega entering Wily's fortress and traversing over a corridor of spikes, and the poorly-received ''Rockman X-Over'' is barely acknowledged.

* ''VideoGame/MegaMan11''
** With the announcement, we're also given a preview of the [[https://web.archive.org/web/20171204204407/http://www.gameinformer.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-Components-SiteFiles/imagefeed-featured-capcom-megaman-megaman11-coverreveal234r5t56/2018_2D00_01_2D00_cover_2D00_spread_2D00_800h.jpg January 2018 cover for Game Informer]]. It showcases 11 incarnations of Mega Man, each representing the way he was designed for the US box arts of each Classic series game. They are all drawn ''very'' accurately.
** Besides his updated design for ''11'', Mega Man's design as seen for the box art of ''8'' is also featured on the cover. Because the cover of said game used original Japanese artwork, it's the only other incarnation that is accurate to his design. This makes it stick out more among the other [[YouDontLookLikeYou inaccurate]] ones.
** When [[https://youtu.be/bur7A72tO9c Impact Man]] was revealed and shown off, some people joked that one of his attacks made him resemble a [[MemeticMutation fidget spinner]]. Lo and behold, somebody made [[https://twitter.com/MotoSyhh/status/1037302819944980480 an actual Impact Man fidget spinner]] only five days later.
** This exchange, regarding all the maintenance check-ups:
--->'''Auto:''' Oh, brother, there's no end to 'em! Doc, how about giving your favorite assistant a break?\\
'''Roll:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I don't need a break, Auto!]] You know, for a robot, you sure do complain a lot! Now let's crank it up a gear!\\
'''Auto:''' Roll, I ain't a machine! I mean, I am, but still...
* A Meta Example. The retail Switch versions of ''Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 & 2'' give out ''2'' in the form of a download code. When does the code expire? The year ''2799''. The overkill to make sure no one would receive an expired code is hilarious.

* ''10'' brings us the OverlyLongGag involving [[spoiler:the Wily Castle map, before the final level]].

* [[MesACrowd Gemini Man]] of ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' was a tough boss, being able to create a clone of himself and fight you in perfect synch. But his weakness? [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes He's afraid of snakes]].
** From the same game, we have [[AccidentalInnuendo Hard Man]]. Taking it even further, his weapon consists of him using projectile ''fists''.

* The ending of ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' features an OverlyLongGag where Mega Man points out how many times Wily has failed in the past:

** The fact that the screen of Wily's defeat in Mega Man 7, Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass were "recorded" in 8-bit style (you can tell, because Mega Man is the right colors for their respective KryptoniteFactor weapons) is even ''more'' hilarious. Also, the scenes with [[spoiler:the rebuilt Robot Masters]] interspersed through the credits.
* A meta example: It was revealed that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Hornet Man was originally]] [[http://www.rockman-corner.com/2012/12/check-out-mega-man-9s-unused-hornet.html a female robot master]]. The fans react exactly as you would expect.

It showcases 11 incarnations of Mega Man, each representing the way he was designed for the US box arts of each Classic series game. They are all drawn ''very'' accurately.

* When [[https://youtu.be/bur7A72tO9c Impact Man]], the 5th robot master for ''VideoGame/MegaMan11'', was revealed and shown off, some people joked that one of his attacks made him resemble a [[MemeticMutation fidget spinner]]. Lo and behold, somebody made [[https://twitter.com/MotoSyhh/status/1037302819944980480 an actual Impact Man fidget spinner]] only five days later.

* This exchange from ''11'', regarding all the maintenance check-ups:

* On August 15th, 2018, Dr. Wily borrowed a page from his [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog portly counterpart]] and hijacked the Mega Man Twitter. This no doubt brings about a bunch of gems, like...

** Right before he left the account, [[https://twitter.com/MegaMan/status/1029806615879286784 he referenced that his previous schemes for world domination have "faild"]], which itself is a ShoutOut to VideoGame/MegaMan6.

!![[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Cartoon series]]
* In "Electric Nightmare", Mega Man is locked in the bathroom and submerged in acid. He only has a few seconds left! Then Dr. Light walks by.
--> '''Dr. Light:''' Now why would anyone ''bar'' the ''outside'' of the bathroom door? ...OH NO!
** Earlier in that episode, we have Wily and Proto Man determine today's nefarious plot... by acting it out with action figures. Then Proto Man throws a temper tantrum and destroys them.
** Later, Dr. Wily takes control of all electrical appliances in the city, making them murderous and ''mobile''. At one point, Mega Man and Roll gets chased by a ''hot dog wagon'' which isn't even electrical!
** Roll's over-the-top reaction to a cosmetics robot giving her a bad facial.
** [[CaptainObvious "That sounded like an explosion!"]]
** After arriving at the power plant, Mega Man orders Rush to switch to stealth mode. [[BoringButPractical He proceeds to stick sponges to his paws]].
* Mega Man steals Magnet Man's power...with a high-five. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
--> '''Magnet Man:''' [[OhCrap He's getting my powers!]]
* Pharaoh Man's [[TalkToTheFist succinct response]] to Mega Man stealing his power. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7dSJN5LgsE&t=35s See it here]].
* In "Campus Commandos", Wily is stealing a building with an anti-gravity ray. Then Mega takes control of the ray.
--> '''Dr. Wily:''' Mega Man, that's ''my'' building! Give it ''back''!
** What's even funnier is when Wily reacts by smashing the Skullker's control panels, causing it to fly everywhere.
** When Roll takes revenge on Top Man, we get a top-view with him [[PinballProjectile crashing through the park]], complete with pinball sound effects.
* ''The Big Shake'':
--> '''Dr. Wily''': Submit, or I will destroy the city.\\
'''The Mayor''': I can't do that... That's slavery!\\
'''* Music Stops* '''\\
'''Dr. Wily''': Sounds good to me.
** Then, when the mayor gives in and announces his surrender to Wily in a press conference, Wily runs in, while the mayor is mid-sentence, and starts ranting while the mayor audibly crashes to the floor off-camera.
* In "The Incredible Shrinking Mega Man", Mega's forced to use a pay phone to contact Dr. Light. This on its own is funny, but what sells it is Light's reaction.
--> '''Dr. Light''': A collect call from Mega Man!? ...Yes, I'll accept the charges!
* In "Master of Disaster", Wily awakens Lotos the genie, who asks him what he wants him to do.
--> '''Wily:''' *gets the ''happiest'' tone in his voice* Well....you can start by destroying those meddling robots.
* This exchange:
-->'''Guts Man''': We're hit!\\
'''Proto Man''': ''([[DeadpanSnarker completely straight-faced]])'' [[SarcasmMode Gee...did your high-powered brain tell you that?]]
* "Let's see how you do against...[[MemeticMutation KUNG FU CUTMAN! HYAAA!"]]
* One perfect line from "The Day the Moon Fell".
-->'''Cutman:''' LOOK OUT! It's the ''blue dweeb''!
* In ''Terror of the Seven Seas'', Wily thinks he's managed to finally kill Mega Man by strapping him to a torpedo and then watching it explode. When Mega Man returns to Wily's floating fortress/super-ship, however, his reaction quickly goes from surprise to an evil chuckle and an attempt at complete and utter ''overkill''. Apparently he has learned his lesson. His delivery of the line is what sells the moment.
--> '''Dr. Wily:''' Mega Man? Impossible!\\
'''Proto Man:''' Looks like nothing you got can stop him, Doc!\\
'''Dr. Wily:''' Oooh yesss? How about... ''eighty'' laser cannons, ''fifty'' missile launchers and - hehehe - ''two'' thousand pulse power photon neutralizers?\\
''He fires them all at once, but they fail. Prompt the VillainousBreakdown as Mega Man begins cutting his way through a steel door.''\\
'''Dr. Wily:''' Guts Man! Bomb Man! It's Mega Man! Punch him to pieces! Blow him to bits! ''Pulverize him!''
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZdEZSsIZIs Cut Man is incompetent.]]
* Megaman's solution to dealing with complicated machinery.
-->'''Megaman:''' No time to be scientific! I need to shut this thing down! ('' repeatedly punches and kicks the control panel'')
* Ring Man's pissed off face after Megaman gives an IncrediblyLamePun in ''Peril Park''.
* [[https://youtu.be/dI8RPO87vSc Mega Man, you patriotic doofus.]] To quote a comment on the video:
-->''"So megaman is a japanese robot that is in a cartoon made in canada that protects presedent lincon[sic] who's from the usa. [[SarcasmMode Makes sense]]"''

* When Mega Man takes his first steps into combatting Robot Masters, he asks why Dr. Light couldn't create robots named Origami Man or Pillow Man.
* In ''[[BonusMaterial Short Circuits #3]]'', when Roll {{imagine|Spot}}s how she would react if she had Mega Man's powers, Mega Man becomes concerned...
-->"FIRE IS THE ULTIMATE CLEANSER!"
* When Crash Man boasts about his being a combination of Bomb Man and Guts Man and how advanced he is therefore, Mega Man asks Crash Man where his hands are. Baffled, Crash Man realizes this and actually ''concedes'' to the question's logic.
** The lack of hands becomes a minor running gag, such as when Dr. Wily asks Needle Man to help him move rubble, and in Spark Man's profile, which claims that he is stronger than Elec Man, but is jealous of Elec Man's hands.
* Flash Man is defeated because he is [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny jealous of Mega Man having hair, and wonders why his creator, Wily, didn't give him any]] .
-->'''FlashMan:''' So...much...HAIR!!
* The "battle" with the "Alien" in issue 12.
-->'''Wily:''' [[Film/TheWizardOfOz P-pay no attention to that man behind the hologram...!]]\\
...\\
'''Mega Man:''' Evil invaders from space? How ridiculous can you get?\\
'''Wily:''' You still fell for it! I saw you! You were scared!
* When Dr. Lalinde tells Quake Woman she "would like [her] to meet Drs. Light and Cossack and their creations", Kalinka protests that she's not a robot. Cossack clarifies that that's not what Lalinde meant - but she is still his greatest creation, and he'll... explain when she's older.
* When Needle Man is created, he stares at the cannons where his hands should be. Crash Man sympathizes.
* [[{{Crossover}} Worlds Collide]] #1: Dr. Wily and [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Dr. Eggman]] attempt to settle what to name their new headquarters ("Death Egg III" or "Wily Flying Fortress") with RockPaperScissors... only to tie every time.
-->'''Eggman:''' Wily Egg?\\
'''Wily:''' Wily Egg!
** Just... Wily and Eggman interacting. It's practically a feedback loop of LargeHam MadScientist.
* After the crossover, Wily wonders why he wants to stomp on a cartoon of eggs.
* In Issue 32's Short Circuit, Ice Man dreams of himself as a prince and Roll as Sleeping Beauty.
* The Short Circuit comic in Issue 33 had Mega Man playing a guitar. Because the issue is called "Unplugged", thus he'd be [[IncrediblyLamePun "Acoustic Rock".]]
* In Issue 37, after Dr. Wily pushes Dr. Cossack's BerserkButton, Cossack [[TranquilFury tenses up in pure rage]] and squeezes the handle of the mug he's holding so tight the mug ''breaks off the handle'', with Roll dashing in to catch it.
* Mega Man's plan to escape an ice cavern does not impress Ice Man:
--> '''Ice Man:''' THAT WAS CRAZY AND STUPID AND WE NEARLY DIED!!
--> '''Mega Man:''' [[CrazyEnoughToWork But it worked!]]
* Top Man reacting to Mega Man going through his "stage."
-->'''Top Man:''' That's not how you're supposed to do it! (Mega Man uses Rush Jet to pass a section) You CAN'T bypass those! You're missing the entire point!
* When Mega Man reaches Gemini Man in Issue 42, he walks through the door CoveredInGunge and thoroughly confused about the area he just fought through.
-->'''Mega Man:''' The eggs! The walls! This ''place''! What's going on?!\\
'''Gemini Man:''' Honestly? I couldn't tell ya. [[HandWave Experiments on growing algae or something.]]
* Short Circuits #52 directly mocking the old ''WesternAnimation/MegaMan'' cartoon, ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' and ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' with normal old Mega Man reminding himself to remember to get some basic quality control on his shows.
* In one of the Short Circuits (specifically #11, Crash Master), Dr. Wily discovers that Crash Man [[VisualPun crashed his car and his servers]], so he tries to use him to crash the stock market.
* According to the Short Circuits, Break Man, Proto Man's alias, has the power to take 15-minute breaks, as mandated by Union Man. He also had the power to make a four-month break for the Sonic Crossover.

* Flash Man is defeated because he is [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny jealous of Mega Man having hair, and wonders why his creator, Wily, didn't give him any]] (a ShoutOut to his data card from Mega Man & Bass).
-->'''FlashMan:''' So... much... HAIR!!

** When Roll takes revenge on Top Man, we get a top-view with him crashing through the park, complete with pinball sound effects.

* In ''[[BonusMaterial Short Circuits #3]]'', when Roll {{imagine|Spot}}s how she would react if she had Mega Man's powers:

* When Crash Man boasts about how advanced he is, Mega Man asks him where his hands are. Baffled, Crash Man realizes this and actually ''concedes'' to the question's logic.

* The reporter and her camera man arguing right before Dr. Light's interview, [[ActingUnnatural then turning to him, pretending like nothing happened]].
* Wily gets many of these.
** "Asshole."
---> '''Olga:''' Are you addressing me?
---> '''Wily:''' Nooooo, I am monologuing to myself out loud... ''yes'', I am talking to you.
* Rock punching out his alarm clock.
--> '''Rock:''' ...Oops.

* It's fanmade, but seeing Mettaurs being up to no good in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNTOjUHda-I Bad Bad Mettaurs]]'' is hilarious.
* Another fanmade creation: [[http://minimega.tumblr.com/ the miniMEGA comics]]. Here are some highlights:

* The ZX Gigamix drama track, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAh-X8e6uOw Help Fleuve!]]"[[note]]For non-Japanese speakers, remember to enable English captions.[[/note]] Fleuve is trying to spend time with his nephew, Sardine, but keeps getting called away by various Guardians who need his help, to his irritation. Seeing his fatigue, Rose approaches him and offers him a nutritional drink, which he accepts and consumes... as Rose tells him that he was supposed to dilute it first. Cue fainting.
