Funny / Battlefield: Bad Company

Go To

  • The first game's launch trailer perfectly showcases both the Frostbite engine's real time destruction capabilities, as well as the wacky tone of the characters and plot.
  • Happens several times in Bad Company 1 (listen in on the first mission, when Haggard talks about Miss July and his cousin). Despite how serious Bad Company 2's campaign tries to be, it still has its comedic moments.
    Haggard: "Shit, that tore it. Get outta my way, I gotta save me some cheerleaders!"
  • The game has a strangely-funny clanging sound that plays to indicate you've scored a headshot. Doubly funny is that, with some weapons, said headshots are not instantly fatal, meaning you can hear the sound repeatedly if enough bullets connect with the head.
  • Hidden throughout the game are conversations the squad have, about the war, impending death, God, what superpowers they might have, the UFC, and who would win in a fight between Hulk Hogan and Brock Lesnar.
    Sweetwater: Religion confuses everyone. Thankfully I am not held back by that superstition.
  • Assuming you're not a fan of the Call of Duty franchise, the two jokes against Modern Warfare 2 (i.e. the "Special Ops douchebags with pussy-ass heartbeat monitors" and the "Snowmobiles are for sissies!" lines) are screamingly hilarious. Also, the parody of the infamous "F.A.G.S." - Friends Against Grenade Spamming commercial ("F.R.A.G.S." - Friends REALLY Against Grenade Spamming), where Sweetwater lampoons the idea of "celebrity endorsements" in general, before the exasperated celebrity in question blows Sweetwater away with an attack helicopter.
  • The Bad Company 1 beta had a glitch where you could crush an allies light tank (the MEC one) by backing up into them in a main battle tank. Instead of just colliding and pushing the smaller tank, your MBT would literally drive up it and completely crush it- even causing the wreckage to disappear.
  • Haggard single-handedly invades a sovereign nation, in search for the gold, instantly labeling them as war criminals
    Redford: Is this your idea of fun, Haggard?!
    Haggard: Well, yeah.
    • Leading to:
    US Army Trooper: Lay down your arms, or we will take you by force!
    Haggard: Yeah?! Says You and What Army??!
    Sweetwater: What!?
    Haggard: I Always Wanted to Say That.
    Sweetwater: Why?
    Haggard: Sounds cool. Shuts 'em up.
    [full contingent of tanks and gunships surround them]
    Haggard: Oh. That army.
  • B-Company's first encounter with Legionnaire troops ends with them examining a body and digging through his pockets for gold, and Haggard and Sweets end up bickering like kids.
    Sarge: Move out!
    Sweetwater: Wait, Sarge! Knowledge is power! Rumor has it that the Legionnaire pays his troops in gold bars!
    [Everyone pauses]
    Haggard: I'll just check for a pulse in his pockets... [Picks up a small gold nugget] Well, slap me hard and call me El Dorado!
    Sweetwater: OK, El Dorado, let's have a look at that.
    Haggard: Hey hey! Finders keepers!
  • The game's banter is quite amusing, such as Sweetwater instantly falling in love with Mike-One-Juliet, a.k.a. Miss July, purely from the sound of her voice, and Haggard questioning the possibility of her being a Butter Face.
    Haggard: I've been thinking about this Ms. July. How do you know she's good-lookin'? Cuz, I got a cousin who's got a beautiful voice, but a face like a can o' dog food.
    Sweetwater: Isn't that the one you dated?
    Haggard: Yeah.
    Sweetwater: ...Cool.
    • When your trek takes the squad along a golf course, driving a tank gets this line from Haggard:
      Haggard: "Driving a tank on a golf course!" Forget visiting new places and being outdoors! If they put "Driving a tank on a golf course" in those Army brochures, enlistment would skyrocket!
