This series provides examples of:
- Adaptation Personality Change: Snake is more of a goof whose personality quirks, such as his fondness for cardboard boxes and occasionally perverted tendencies, are brought up to eleven.
- Battle Strip: Done by Liquid before fighting Ghost. This is paired with The Coats Are Off since it's the only thing Liquid's wearing on top.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: Makarov and Liquid. This is subverted when they're revealed to be Co-Dragons to Bobby Kotickovich.
- The Can Kicked Him: While infiltrating ActivistSun HQ, Ghost hides in one of the bathrooms and kills a guard in the stalls.
- Double Knockout: Occurs in the fight between Snake and Master Chief.
- Dressing as the Enemy: Inverted. Ghost dresses a captive guard in his trademark face mask. The other guards take the bait and kill their comrade.
- Freudian Slip: A distracted Snake says while Otacon and Naomi brief him about the mission:"I'll do my breast- er, best."
- Gun Porn: Being tied to the Metal Gear and Modern Warfare universes, this is no surprise.
- His Name Is...: Parodied. This is done by a guard watching a captured Ghost just as Snake knifes him in the neck. The guard continues repeating "his name is" and Snake keeps stabbing him before he can reveal the name.
- Lampshade Hanging: Ghost, as the Straight Man of the duo, spends most of his time pointing out the ridiculousness seen in the Metal Gear series.
- Male Gaze: Snake, and later Ghost, gets it bad whenever Naomi talks. It's one of the reasons why Ghost wears shades.
- The Man Behind the Man: Kotickovich is this to Makarov and Liquid.
- Mini-Mecha:
- What Modern Gear turns out to be.
- Metal Warfare, which Ghost comes across, is also one.
- Ms. Fanservice: Naomi. There's even a dream sequence in which she starts taking off clothes, letting down her hair and shaking it loose, and gesturing to her breasts.
- My New Gift Is Lame: Before heading out on a mission, Naomi and Otacon give our heroes gifts. Snake gets a beauty of a rifle with a scope and bipod. Ghost gets some skeleton gloves to match his mask. He does end up wearing them, though.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Kotickovich is a clear one to Bobby Kotick, the CEO of Activision Blizzard. ActivistSun is an obvious one to Activision too.
- Spit Take: Done by Snake when seeing Liquid in the series beginning on a TV in a coffee shop.
- Talking Is a Free Action:
- Snake stops in the middle of sneaking up on a guard to take an unnecessarily long Codec call from Otacon. The guard never turns around.
- In another scene, Master Chief stops fighting with Snake to allow him to take a call from Ghost.
- Wham Episode: Episode 3 showcases the introduction of Master Chief.
- You Killed My Father: Unit is this case, as Ghost's motivation throughout the series is to find the person responsible for the death of all the men in his previous squad. Kotickovich is responsible.
