* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dzhF26cYaU original teaser trailer]] for Metal Gear Solid 4.
----

----

* From an episode of ''HeyAshWhatchaPlayin'': "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAa5Fp-BSaE Metal Gear Solid Storytime]]". Kudos go to simplifying the plot of the first game enough that a little kid probably could understand it, while keeping in Snake's fascination with [[BabyGotBack Meryl's ass]] and all of the other major plot points.

[[AC:MetalGearSolid]]
* In the original MetalGearSolid, while in jail, you could do anything you can think of to annoy the guard. "Shut up in there, will ya!!!"
* MetalGearSolid: Psycho Mantis saying the games Solid Snake - no, the player likes! It is also one of the Easter Eggs found before your fight against him, along with the photos of the developers behind him.
** Ocelot also does a [[NoFourthWall Fourth Wall banger]] to the player during the interrogation stage.
-->'''Ocelot:''' "[[NoFairCheating Don't even think of using autofire...I'll know.]]"
** Ocelot dropping his revolver while trying to twirl it with his left hand in ''The Twin Snakes''. Especially with how he just stares at Snake for a second like "oh shit" before picking it back up.
* In the PS1 version, when Snake sees Liquid walking towards him and Meryl while they're trapped under the Jeep, and just mutters "Uh-oh", as if this isn't the ''very worst thing that could possibly happen''.
** From the Gamecube version, the long pause between Snake's "on the battlefield, you never think about what's next" line and the scene fading out. You can literally feel him regretting saying that.

[[AC:MetalGearSolid2]]
* "WE MANAGED TO AVOID DROWNING", yes it's {{Narm}} - but it is fucking hysterical, especially Raiden's delivery.
** "You have to find the node!" "Did you say 'nerd'?"
** Raiden, do you actually enjoy [[VideogameCrueltyPotential abusing helpless animals]]?!
** I WON'T MAKE YOU SAVE / DO NOT SAVE
* Raiden disses [[CompanionCube The Box(TM)]].
-->'''Raiden''' Pliskin, I saw someone wearing a cardboard box just now...?
-->'''Pliskin:''' A box? I don't know anything about that. You sure you weren't imagining things?
-->'''Raiden:''' Of course I'm sure. Do you think it's one of the members of Dead Cell?
-->'''Pliskin:''' How should I know?
-->'''Raiden:''' I don't want to fight someone like that.
-->'''Pliskin:''' Why not?
-->'''Raiden:''' Because it looks so dumb. Anyone who's willing to be seen like that must be completely insane. I mean, he's a psycho; there's no question about it.
-->'''Pliskin:''' Um, yeah...
** Later, when you get the box, Snake goes on a tirade about how the carboard box is the most essential and useful tool in an infiltration mission.
--->'''Pliskin:''' Look, I'm not exaggerating when I say the success of your mission hinges on how you use that cardboard box.
** If you listen to Raiden carefully, it's sounds like he regrets dissing it earlier.
* Use the directional microphone on E.E. when she's crossing the struts, then call her after that. After that, she runs into Johnny Sasaki and HilarityEnsues. Also, try shooting the cardboard box that you see between the struts, using the codec when you're in the bathroom, messing with the projectors in the Tanker, talking to Otacon (and later Snake) about Pentazemin to cure seasickness, etc.
* Particular mention to [[http://webspace.webring.com/people/wt/thegear303/advice.htm Otacon reading Chinese proverbs.]]
* Many of the [[spoiler:AI Colonel]] codec calls, including the infamous "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68mbFvenlaQ&feature=related I need scissors! 61!]]"
* From ''Substance'', there's the Snake Tale "External Gazer", which already has a MindScrew plot about mythical sea monsters and virtual reality missions before the kicker: forcing Snake to play as Raiden as CoolAndUnusualPunishment, with his only hope of survival being to RageQuit.

[[AC:MetalGearSolid3]]
* When Naked Snake asked if he could more or less make the first part of his codename true:
--->'''Naked Snake''': So... can I take off my pants?
* Same game, shortly after calling [=SigInt=], you get his really, REALLY bad nightmare of a Metal Gear made entirely of shit that shoots rockets, turning other people into shit. [[http://sigintdream.ytmnd.com/ No, really]].
* ''Metal Gear Raiden: Snake Eraser''.
--->''(Raiden teleports in, Terminator-style, and gets knocked out of the way by Naked Snake)''
---->"You've created a time paradox! You can't go changing the future like that!"
--->''(Raiden gets knocked into the air by a motorcycle, lands on top of Ocelot, who he kisses by accident)''
---->"You've created a time paradox! Don't mess with the future! You have to understand the future!"
--->''(Raiden gets [[RapeAsComedy * ahem* ed]] by Volgin)''
---->"You can't do that! The future will be changed! You'll create a time paradox!"
--->''(Raiden teleports into the right time and place to stare at The Boss's AbsoluteCleavage... and promptly gets bitch-slapped, while Snake stares in shock)''
---->"Time paradox!"
* A certain radio conversation with [=SigInt=], if you're wearing a Cardboard Box.
--->'''[=SigInt=]''': Uh... Snake? What are you doing?
--->'''Naked Snake''': I'm in a box.
--->'''[=SigInt=]''': A cardboard box? Why are you...
--->'''Naked Snake''': I dunno. I was just looking at it, and suddenly I got this irresistable urge to get inside! No, not an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; In the box!
--->'''[=SigInt=]''': Destiny?
--->'''Naked Snake''': Yeah. And then when I put it on, I suddenly got this feeling of inner peace. I can't put it into words. I feel... safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. Like I'd found the key to true happiness.
--->'''[=SigInt=]''': ...
--->'''Naked Snake''': Does any of that make sense?
--->'''[=SigInt=]''': Not even a little.
--->'''Naked Snake''': ''You'' should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean.
--->'''[=SigInt=]''': Man, I don't wanna know what you mean! Between you and Para-Medic, is everyone but me that is hooked up with the Major strange!?
--->'''Naked Snake''': ...
--->'''[=SigInt=]''': Yeah, well, anyway, I suppose even that dumbass box might make a decent disguise if you wear it inside a building.
** Becomes HilariousInHindsight when you consider [what happens when [[{{Lolicon}} Paz]] or [[GayOption Kaz]] join you inside your box.
* Try the conversation about the glowing mushrooms.
--->'''Naked Snake:''' Para-Medic.
--->'''Para-Medic:''' What's up?
--->'''Naked Snake:''' You were right.
--->'''Para-Medic:''' About what?
--->'''Naked Snake:''' I ate a Russian glowcap and it charged up my batteries.
--->'''Para-Medic:''' Huh?!
--->'''Naked Snake:''' What's wrong?
--->'''Para-Medic:''' I, uh... that's... that's great! Um, Snake, can you excuse me for a second?
--->'''Naked Snake:''' Sure.
---> (She leaves. Snake can still hear her.)
--->'''Para-Medic:''' Did you just hear that?
--->'''Sigint:''' Yeah. There's no way eating a bioluminescent mushroom would cause your batteries to recharge.
--->'''Para-Medic:''' What do you think it means?
--->'''Sigint:''' Beats me... maybe it's all in his mind.
--->'''Para-Medic:''' You mean like a placebo effect?
--->'''Sigint:''' Why not? You've seen how gullible he is.
--->'''Para-Medic:''' I guess there's no harm done. Should we let him keep believing it?
--->'''Sigint:''' Sounds good to me.
---> (She comes back)
--->'''Para-Medic:''' Okay, Snake, I'm back. Yes, the Russian glowcap is a glowing mushroom, so it'll recharge your batteries when you eat it.
---> (Snake grumbles)
* Talking to the people in your codec list (call Eva last) with the crocodile hat on shows you that the word "normal" does not apply to anyone involved with the FOX unit.
* The part when you rescue Sokolov. He follows Snake outside, imitating his MOVES, and somehow ending up with a KamehameHadoken gesture, at which point the camera pans over to Snake, staring at the scientist with a complete "What the frick are you ''doing''?" look on his face.
* '''''ALL''''' the {{Easter Egg}}s in the third game qualify. Take your pick: between the conversation between Para-Medic and [=SigInt=] about Snake and the glowing mushrooms, calling Eva after you call everyone else with the crocodile head thing on, wear the scientist suit in the jungle, etc.
** [=MGS3=] takes a lot of potshots at [[ButtMonkey Raiden]]. One of the Codec conversations has Major Zero and Snake talk about the Raiden mask, [[FandomNod it ends with them talking about the guy it's based on]]:
---->'''Naked Snake:''' What do I do if I meet that guy?
---->'''Major Zero:''' Beat the crap out of him.
** There's also this gem after you get Raikov's suit and call the Major.
---->'''Major Zero:''' Ah, your Raikov disguise has turned out nicely.
---->'''Naked Snake:''' Yeah. Not even his own mother could tell the difference.
---->'''Major Zero:''' Indeed. You're starting to irritate me already.
*** You could shorten a few of these entries by saying that the codec is a {{funny moment|s}} enabler. Most especially the ones in [=MGS2=] and [=MGS3=].
* When Naked Snake fultons Cécile.
---->'''Naked Snake:'''Ever know what its like to be a bird?
---->'''Cécile:'''What? AAAAHHHHH!!!

[[AC:MetalGearSolid4]]
* ''MetalGearSolid4'' has two, both of them callbacks to [[MetalGearSolid MGS1]]:
** First, [[spoiler:when re-infiltrating Shadow Moses Island, Otacon calls Snake to tell him to put in Disc 2, before realizing they were on a [=BluRay=] disc, which is dual-layered. Snake tolerates it for all of 3 seconds before telling Otacon to get a grip.]]
** And during the final act, [[spoiler:after defeating Screaming Mantis, the ghost of Psycho Mantis shows up to pull his old tricks. But after finding out the system doesn't have a memory card and (if you aren't using the Dual Shock 3) the controller doesn't vibrate, he freaks out and leaves.]]
** At the end of the Act 5 mission briefing, Snake raises his hand and wiggles his fingers like an eager student. It's hilarious. And then when Mei Ling calls on him, he asks, "Anybody got a smoke?" Meryl groans, and his Psyche Meter drains.
** The mission briefing where Sunny just walks up, snatches the cigarette out of Snake's hand, and yells "This is a non-smoking flight!". His Psyche meter drains a quarter, like "I just got my ass handed to me by a little girl. I am not a man."
** Sneaking up on a soldier and holding them up at gunpoint, patting them down, followed by a very special knockout move. Their high pitched squeal of pain just makes it better.
*** Even funnier when done on a woman.
** Your Mileage may very, but all of Akibas scenes before he took a level in badass.
* There's a Codec conversation with Roy and Rose that says about how Rose is a LethalChef. She also states that likes American military rations, after Roy had said how America has the crappiest tasting rations in the world.
--->'''Roy:''' America for the win.

* When Naked Snake asked if he could [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean more or less make the first part of his codename true]]:

** Becomes HilariousInHindsight when you consider [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean what happens]] when [[{{Lolicon}} Paz]] or [[GayOption Kaz]] join you inside your box.
