Funny / Aliens: Colonial Marines

• On a spaceship that's coming apart; the group is trying to reach the cargo bay, where a dropship is waiting for them. (paraphrased)
  "How far is it?"
  "You want that in meters, or the number of things trying to kill us?"
  "Eh, it's about the same."
  "About four hundred, yeah."
• After a cataclysmic spaceship crash (sadly only in the gameplay demonstration):
  Sergeant: Look at me, how many fingers am I holding up? (Three Fingers)
  Winter: "One."
  Sergeant: Eh, he's fine.
• Cruz shutting down O'Neal's attempt to be allowed to go with Bella's team after the marines arrive at Hadley's Hope is an amusing Genius Bonus for those familiar with US Marine Corps slang: Cruz calls O'Neal a "nugget" when giving the latter his orders, implying O'Neal is acting like he's fresh out of boot camp. What really sells it is when O'Neal quietly asks Winter if Cruz had really called him that. Winter's response?
  Winter: That's affirmative, nugget!
• In "The Raven" O'Neal warns Winter over the radio about the Boiler aliens, but doesn't know one important fact about them. Winter criticizes him for not mentioning that they explode.
  O'Neal: They explode?!
• One of the Audio Logs you find in the Weyland Yutani labs:
  Scientist: The tranquilizer we have been introducing into the Queen's food supply has been keeping her docile...
  Alien Queen In Background: (DEAFENING SCREECH!!!!!!)
  Scientist: (Awkward laugh).... uh, relatively.
• Unintentional examples from the game's bugginess: an alien caught up on something, making it appear to dance and this◊ bizarre animation of an alien that blindly strolls right past the player during a stealth section.
  • The fact it was found out that the reason the AI is so bad is due to a ''1-letter spelling error''.
    • Even better is the subtle way Gearbox themselves acknowledged the mistake.
• During a firefight in the Space Jockey's ship, as the player and NPCs are attempting to outrun a score of xenos:
  Hicks: "There's one on the gun!" (referring to the Space Jockey's seat)
  O'Neal: "That's a gun?!"
  Hicks: "I DON'T KNOW!"
• This bit all the way at the very end, when Bishop attempts to download the information from the Micheal Weyland synthetic decoy.
  Winter: Is this...dangerous?
  Bishop: There are tubes in my brain.
  Winter: Dumb question, incredibly sorry.
• From a meta standpoint, the fact that the aliens' Artificial Stupidity was due to one (yes, one) spelling error in the game's coding. You can just hear the collective Alien fan base groaning and/or slapping their foreheads in frustration/disbelief.
  • Gearbox would later poke fun at themselves with a tweet asking "Feeling teathered to your current job?"
