Funny / The Last Days of FOXHOUND

Many, many strips hold these, but there are plenty to note:

• This strip.
  Psycho Mantis: That conniving backstabbing son of a bitch Santa Claus!
• "Do I look like a masochist? Don't answer that." Here.
• Liquid tries to point out that he's Foxhound's C.O., not their mother.
  Wolf: LIQVIIIIIIID! MANTIS IS TRYING TO MAKE ZOMBIIEEES!
• Mantis's necromancy.
  "Zombie": (EXPLODES IN A HUGE SPRAY OF GORE)
  Mantis: Huh. Oh well, still got thirty-seven more.
• Before that, the rest of the gang has come in to investigate. Naoimi's there as well. When asked why, she tries to make a joke:
  Naomi: Me? I just love being around dead bodies.
  Everyone Else: Stares blankly at her
  Naomi: That was a joke. You know? Ha ha?
  Wolf: I vas just thinking: how could zis get any creepier?
• Ocelot and Solidus talking about the plans for taking over Metal Gear. They end their conversation:
  Solidus: I'll be in Europe working on START 3 the whole time, but feel free to contact me by CODEC anytime.
  Ocelot: Okay, see ya. ...Wait.
  Solidus: Yeah?
  Ocelot: You're going to be negotiating a nuclear disarmament treaty.
  Solidus: Yes.
  Ocelot: At the same time we are testing an impossibly powerful nuclear weapon. In secret.
  Solidus: And?
  (Beat Panel)
  Ocelot: Can I hug you?
• Ocelot's interrupting Solidus'...activities on CODEC.
  Ocelot: Where are you?
  Solidus: In the Oval Office. Now piss off! (looks down) ...Not you, babe. Keep going.
  (Later)
  Ocelot: For the first time, I feel like I really understand Mantis.
• "I will find your mother's grave and fuck her corpse!" Especially when you realise that his mother is The Boss. The most badass soldier in history. Who gave birth to Ocelot during the Normandy landing. Somehow, she'd find a way to kick Mantis' ass for that if he ever tried. What's even funnier is how Mantis tried to justify this threat when a mailbag letter called him out on making a threat like that despite his hatred of sexual contact.
• Ocelot learns that Sergei Gurlukovich was planning to have him assassinated:
  Ocelot: Wait, were you going to try and kill me?
  Gurlukovich: Shalashaska! Don't be ridiculous, we would never-
  Ocelot: Oh my god, you WERE gonna kill me!
  Gurlukovich: My friend, I-
  Ocelot: That's ADORABLE!
• When Liquid attempted to hire some new FOXHOUND members. He mentions when they tested Reader Rabbit:
  Liquid narrating: Reader Rabbit...No. Just No.
  Reader Rabbit: Can you spell "cat"?
  Psycho Mantis: Can you spell "Lapin à la moutarde?"
• Liquid and Octopus's Mushroom Samba.
  Evil Cro-Magnon Carrot: TASTY HUUUU-MAN!
• The explanation to why Sniper Wolf's outfit is so... revealing.
  Sniper Wolf: I mean, look at zis!
  Liquid Snake: I am looking at zis.
• Baker finding out that FOXHOUND will be sent to Shadow Moses for the REX testing, after being relieved that Dead Cell isn't being sent.
• Pointing out how pointless Liquid disguising himself as Master Miller was in the original game.
  Ocelot: What good's a disguise gonna do? It's Codec.
  • Made even funnier when you remember that the reason Octopus and Ocelot looked at each other for one panel was because they had a Codec conversation earlier on in which they mentioned how they could see each other.
    • Not to mention this whole thing came up specifically because their original plan was to use Octopus to disguise as Miller, even though Codec is audio-only.
• Rewinding memories can be hilarious.
  MSG3 Ocelot: "Mrrrrowww!"
  * Russian soldiers appear *
  Sokolov: "GRU operatives!"
  * VHS rewinding sounds and screen effects *
  MSG3 Ocelot: "Mrrrrowww!"
  * Russian soldiers appear *
  Sokolov: "GRU operatives!"
  * VHS rewinding sounds and screen effects *
  MSG3 Ocelot: "Mrrrrowww!"
  * VHS rewinding sounds and screen effects *
  MSG3 Ocelot: "Mrrrrowww!"
  * VHS rewinding sounds and screen effects *
  MSG3 Ocelot: "Mrrrrowww!"
  * Decoy Octopus, Sniper Wolf and Vulcan Raven are snickering *
  Liquid Snake: Come on, man, one more.
  Psycho Mantis: * choking back laughter * "All right, all right, one more. But then we have to get going."
• Berthold discovers that his previous visit to Shadow Moses had unintended consequences.
  • "God, I told you to stop following me!"
  • It turns out that Sniper Wolf is a grandma.
• Gurlukovich calls Ocelot through a "secure" line. Ocelot reveals that there are no less than four American agents tapping the line. Hilarity ensues. Even funnier is that the last one is Richard Ames from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, a known Patriot agent.
  "Nice job guys. No, really. Way to go."
• Colonel Campbell to the President. "With all due respect sir...this is totally fucking insane."
• Raven being stopped at the U.S./Mexican border in a tank. And being allowed through.
  Border Guard: Alright, your inspection is done, go on ahead.
  Raven: That's it?
  Border Guard: Yessir, you're all clear.
  Raven: ...So there is absolutely no problem with me bringing a tank across the border.
  Border Guard: 'Long as there ain't no Mexicans hidin' inside, and we checked that.
• During a trip into Ocelot's mind, Raven and Mantis witness the moment where Young Ocelot was playing russian roulette... with three revolvers... juggling them. Then The Boss comes and snatches the one that was about to shoot. Their reactions sells it.
  Raven: ... How—
  Mantis: Shut up, I'm doing the math.
  • Later, Mantis tries to figure it out with Ocelot recreating it. He still gets it wrong, and Ocelot notes he doesn't know how she knew it either.
    Mantis: Damnit, how did she do it?
    Ocelot: Buddy, it's been forty years and I haven't figured it out yet.
• Chinaman's introduction.
• Wolf and Ocelot have a small shooting contest.
• We finally discover The Boss' weakness: The Sorrow's Puppy Eyes.
• When Raven and Mantis go on a journey to the center of Liquid's mind and find that the metaphor for Liquid's mind is a building which has more than a passing resemblance to a giant penis. Imagining the exact way the characters would say their lines seals it.
  Raven: Wow. Just... wow.
  Mantis: Freud would shit his pants.
• The REX testing...doesn't exactly get off to a great start.
  (After a significant time is spent on an Activation Sequence...only to peter out at the very end)
  Liquid, over the radio: Your interface continues to impress me, Doctor Emmerich. How long did you spend animating that particular piece of metal falling off?
  • Things don't get any better, leading to a Failure Montage. Eventually Liquid gets fed up and says he has a better idea for tomorrow:
    (The next day, Liquid is sitting on top of the railgun.)
    Liquid: Okay, now you [Ocelot] throw me the missile.
• "Yeah, okay, I'm with you. The guy who designed this place can just go to hell."
• After Ocelot instantly figures out Shadow Moses is a front for building a Metal Gear, he wonders who couldn't figure out something so obvious. It immediately cuts to Otacon playing with Transformers action figures.
• Immediately after FOXHOUND captures Shadow Moses, Ocelot gets rid of his inhaler for Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, basically preparing himself to screw over anyone at anytime.
• Liquid introduces Ocelot to the DARPA Chief, unaware that Ocelot knew the DARPA Chief from when he was Sigint.
• When Ocelot and Mantis are in the hospital after a fight with each other, Octopus takes the opportunity to make it as uncomfortable as possible for them.
