History Funny / TeamFourStarMetalGearSaga

* Grant clearly pointing out which scenes got the high-definition treatment and which scenes are still pre-rendered video from the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 game.

[[folder: General]]
* Lani doing an impression of Snake's famous ''"Hrrrgh...Metal Gear!"'' growl throughout each stream.
** Especially when a signature Metal Gear game mechanic is being questioned why it even exists.
* Ben reading the ''[[VideoGame/{{MetalGear1}} Metal Gear 1 ]]'' ''[[Literature/{{WorldsOfPower}} Nintendo Entertainment System Worlds of Power]]'' Scholastic book like an audio book prior to the Metal Gear streams on Twitch beginning and those readings being referred to as ''Bentime Stories''.
** Even Ben isn't immune to the hilariousness of this book, he had hold in laughter to a chapter where Snake covers himself in panther urine, poses like a wild cat, and roars at a pack of guard dogs to scare them off. ''PURE. PANTHER. POWER.'' indeed.
*** In the Twin Snakes finale, you can hear Lani laughing in the background at the description of how rations heal Snake.
*** Later on after completing the book he refers to it as the "canon events of the game" and a work of art compared to the "FanFic" he found to replace it, which is the real official Metal Gear Solid 1 novel more accurately based on the games.
* [[spoiler: The joke that everyone in Team Four Star is slowing being replaced by ''[[VideoGame/{{Snatcher}} Snatchers]]'' but they're doing such a bad job at it that even they can't keep track of who is already a Snatcher or not.]]
-->'''Ben''': He seems to think I'm possessed by somebody, [[spoiler:Snatcher]]s are immune to that. [[VerbalBackspace I mean hu-mans are immune to that]]!
* ''[[VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Survive}} Metal Gear Survive]]'' being a complete joke to them that the mere suggestion that they play the beta for that game instead the betas for ''[[VideoGame/{{Dragon Ball FighterZ}} Dragon Ball FighterZ]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/{{Monster Hunter}} Monster Hunter World]]'' has the entire office laughing (''even from other rooms'').

* The couch trying to figure out what percentage of The World's Greatest Detective they are with Grant being there.
* When they do Gillian impressions that end up sounding like ''[[WesternAnimation/{{InspectorGadget}} Inspector Gadget]]''.
* Everyone's faces & reactions when they find out Katrina's real age from the Japanese version of the game.
** Especially during the infamous shower scene
* Every time someone on The Couch sneezes they blame it on Snow-9 pollen.
* When Gillian and Random find a decaying corpse the trio scream in horror. [[https://youtu.be/bqIcmyx9CQQ?t=1h2m10s Kaiser screeches]]

* [[spoiler: The reveal after the Snatcher finale that Kaiser, Ben, and even Grant are actually all Snatchers without each other knowing it and complaining that the Snatcher equivalent of HR dropped the ball on that one.]]
* After the Snatcher finale & deciding to try ''[[VideoGame/{{AntarcticAdventure}} Penguin Adventure]]'' Ben, Kaiser, and Grant's reactions to the fact the main Penguin character in this game carries around a gun and other weapons.

* Kirran, Lani, and Grant at first being grateful they got tickets to ''"Motherbase"'' for their background when it's actually the torture area in ''Camp Omega'' from ''[[VideoGame/{{MetalGearSolidVGroundZeroes}} Ground Zeroes]]''.
* [[spoiler: They are spotted by the very first enemy in the very first game resulting in a panicked run to safety]]
* The usual birthday song played on Creator/TeamFourStar streams being interrupted halfway by [[spoiler: ''[[VideoGame/{{MetalGearSolid}} Psycho Mantis]]'' ]].
-->'''Lani:''' (''yelling'') HAPPY BIRTHDAY IF IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY! IF- (''record scratch stops music then static'') -Wait what?
-->'''Solid Snake:''' (''couch members look around confused'') ...What happened to the music?
-->'''[[spoiler: Psycho Mantis: ]]''' HAHAHAHAHA! WRETCHED FOOL!
-->'''Entire Couch:''' (''scared'') Aaaaaahhhh!!!
* Lani saying ''"Metal Gear!"'' in Snake's voice even more after a chat viewer suggested a drinking game for every time he does it.
* Kirran & Grant talking about Lani behind his back when Lani is actually there to hear whole the conversation without them noticing thanks to him hiding in a cardboard box.

* In Part 3, the crew have to trek through several screens of perilous, instant-kill BottomlessPits. After finally making it through (after many, ''many'' deaths), they get a Codec from a resistance member named Diane...who ''[[CaptainObvious warns them to watch out for traps.]]'' The couch's reaction is glorious, complete with:
--->'''Recoome:''' [[SarcasmMode You do well! You do well...]]
* Kirran going on a Metal Gear code name generator website and getting ''[[VideoGame/{{MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots}} Raging Raven]]'' as his code name.

* Snake having to escape a guard swarm via the garbage chute and Lani making ''[[Film/{{ANewHope}} Star Wars: A New Hope]]'' reference.
* Lani and Grant correcting chat viewers by saying that it's ''tedious'' not tricky that they must to follow the green beret soldier around the forest and the pattern to do so becomes super obvious only for Grant to get caught mid-sentence.
-->'''Grant:''' And if you haven't learned it by the 18th time you'll- (''gets caught'') You'll-WHAT!? (''now yelling'')
-->'''Lani:''' (''also yelling'') OHHHHH! You didn't learn it by the 18th time!!!!!!
-->'''Grant:''' BUT HOW!? (''Lani laughing hard'') There was this whole tree!!! (''moves Snake around tree for emphasis'')
** Grant becoming too complacent in following the soldier around and repetitively stopping in a spot where the soldier would obviously see him if he turned around and Lani having to ask what he is doing reminding him of the tree fiasco from earlier.
*** How quickly Lani wanted to kill the green beret soldier as soon as they didn't have to follow around him any more.
* Ben delightfully pointing out to Grant the ''Dr. Madnar'' connection to ''Dr. Modnar'' from ''[[VideoGame/{{Snatcher}} Snatcher]]'' only for them to try avoid the topic terribly since they are still unsure if [[spoiler: Lani has been replaced by a Snatcher yet]].

* During their fight with Gray Fox they find out that he was the man Gustava had been in love with.

** Immediately afterwards Grant lands the finishing blow, sending the three into laughter.

* Similar to being spotted by the first enemy in the original Metal Gear, they are spotted and killed by the second enemy they come across
* When the DARPA chief and Armstech president both die of heart attacks during long monologues about the pentagon, they joke that mentioning the pentagon is a trigger.
* Lani request a compilation of all of Snake's one word questions.
* Grant's admission of thinking of Smash when throwing Grenades against Vulcan Raven, the couch and the chats reactions are priceless.
* During the fight with Psycho Mantis and the lead up, the couch deliberately pretends they have never fought him before and really play up their awe at his powers.
** And of course there's the meta humor for the fight due to a special guest mod: [=TheREALPsychoMantis=]. He spams chat, randomly changes restrictions, deletes the chat log, mind controls the other mods, and echoes the game boss yells. Lani is puzzled why people are complaining as the mods are doing a great job.

* Tracking down the sniper rifle, Grant runs just inches behind a guard and triggers an alarm. He proceeds to mow down nearly a dozen guards before realizing ''they just keep spawning'' and running out of the zone...causing a soft save that means he's now down a lot of ammo and healing items.

** Realizing that one of the books Snake's carrying has Sniper Wolf as the center fold leads to Grant and Kiran pretending to be Snake trying to get her autograph...and not realizing she's shooting at him.

** Checking a storage room reveals Nikita ammo, much to Grant and Kiran's delight- the developers ''knew''.
* While Revolver Ocelot monologues during the torture scene, the couch jokes that he was kicked off of tumblr which is why he's telling all of this to snake.
* The couch's reactions to every over the top action action cut scene.
* The couch jokes that the hot card is burning Snake during a long cut scene with Naomi.
* The couch's fake reactions to [[spoiler: the Master Miller reveal]].
* Grant impression of Liquid turns into the Millionaire from Gillian's Island, something he acknowledges.
* The couch compares Liquid to Dio during his big Monologue. It doesn't hurt that Liquid is dramatically posing the whole time.

* Kirran calls Gray Fox's sword a weeb stick and Lani calls his arm cannon a Mega Buster

* Meryl vest makes her look like Marty [=McFly=].
* The couches reaction to Liquid's appearance during the chase scene. "I miss judged the fall. It just slightly hurt."
* Grant: It reminds me when I watched Naruto and how you can have the shittiest parents and still end up the best ninja. I never watched Shippuden.

* Kirran describing ''[[VideoGame/{{Zone of the Enders}} Zone of the Enders]]'' as "Otacon's nerd dream" & effectively his own nerd dream because it's a game about piloting [[Main/{{Humongous Mecha}} Giant Robots]] which Kirran is a big fan of.
* The pre-stream video highlighting the [[VideoGame/{{MetalGearRisingRevengeance}} Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance]] [[Main/{{PreviewPiggybacking}} Demo on the HD Collection's packaging]] before actually acknowledging that they will be playing Zone of the Enders that week.
** Kirran calling the stream ''"Jehuty Day"'' in reference to the popular [[WebVideo/{{Mega64}} Mega64]] video & using audio from it.
*** In the second skit video Grant makes it seem like they will play a Metal Gear by taking out the Legacy Collection but when he opens up the case the Zone of the Enders HD Collection disc is inside instead.
* Grant clearly pointing out which scenes got the high definition treatment & which scenes are still pre-rendered video from the [[UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation2}} PlayStation 2]] game.
* Everyone's reactions to the game's EARLY 2000s English Dubbing direction.

* [[spoiler: As usual they are spotted by the very first enemy on the very first stage.]]
* After being informed about an Easter Egg that let's them hear Snake's inner thoughts during a Codec conversation the couch has a field day interpreting Snake's enthusiastic ''"NO WAY!"'' thought.
** The couch calls Otacon to save the game and tries listening to Snake's thoughts during the Codec conversation again...his thought was priceless.
-->'''Otacon:''' Do you want to save the game Snake?
-->'''Snake:''' (''Couch toggles the Easter Egg'') ''NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!!!!''
-->'''Entire Couch:''' Hahahahaha!!! (''They take a moment to catch their breaths but laugh harder when reminded how they sometimes ignore comments to save.'')
* The couch meet Liquid Ocelot and begin to wonder if transplanting other body parts could create an entire army of Liquid Snake clones.

-->'''Grant:''' Just a bunch of wolves going BROTHER!
-->'''Entire Couch (in an English Accent):''' BROTHER! BROTHER! AROOOO! BROTHER!
* Grant points out that this game is much more anime compared to Twin Snakes which was more Matrix like.
* After they finish the prologue Grant wonder if this is the Roxas section of the game.

* The Couch's fake confusion at Snake's [[spoiler: (Actually Raiden's)]] voice.

* [[spoiler: Even after being told to hide and despite being unconscious a moment ago, the couch somehow still gets caught by the very first guard Raiden encounters.]]
-->'''Lani:''' How did that happen?! He was asleep!
-->'''Grant:''' I don't know! I hid behind the forklift!
-->'''Lani:''' ...You mean ''that'' forklift with the obvious open gap in the middle?
-->'''Grant:''' Oh...right.
* After listening to Raiden during the tutorial, Grant can see why people don't like him.
* The couch points out that Rose still calls Raiden "Jack" immediately after she was told to call him Raiden.

-->'''Lani:''' How did you fall!? You had a whole meter left!
-->'''Grant:''' I pressed X, and it would seem that X does not in fact "Give it to yah".
* The Couch makes Raiden save in the girl's bathroom, triggering a scene where Rose yells at him.
* Lani telling Grant how Jack & Rose's name comes from Titanic.
* Lani gets trapped in a corner and tries to shoot his way out yelling, "This is a Stealth mission!"
* The couch feigning ignorance on who "Iroquois Pliskin" really is.

** Lani & Grant being amused at the thought that Raiden streamed all his VR Missions on Twitch with him saying a ton of click-bait phrases to get people to watch & subscribe.
-->'''Twitch Raiden:''' Don't forget to follow & subscribe to my channel to keep up with all my VR Mission Playthroughs!

* Lani hiding in a locker while the guards look for Raiden only for a guard to open up Lani's locker immediately after the search is called off causing Lani to hit that guard and start up the alert again after he was safe from being found.
* During the fight with Fatman while attempting to tackle him Kirran has Raiden jump right off the platform to his death
** Followed up by the next stream with the Couch acknowledging how Mother Base is similar to the Big Shell and they can sometimes see Raiden cartwheel off the same edge sometimes.
* When Kirran had to leave early for a stream he told Lani & Grant not to do anything too exposition or plot heavy...they almost immediately get caught in long information dump cutscene right after he leaves.

*** To absolutely make sure they didn't make him miss more information they left the [=PS3=] on for the whole week in-between streams only for the game to start glitching out with frame & audio skips immediately as they picked it back up the following Thursday.
-->'''Lani:''' [[spoiler: Hey! This shit isn't supposed to happen until later in the game! ]]
-->'''Kirran:''' [[spoiler: Yeah way later! ]]

-->'''Lani:''' You know after thinking about it, we probably could have reloaded a save before the scene with the president and then just skipped over the all the cutscenes.
* "Raiden how are you doing?" "The water hurts my eyes and it wasn't covered in my VR training."

** The couch tries to drown Emma to get a rise out of Otacon, but after failing three times (and Raiden falling in the water), they settle with blowing her up with claymore mines instead only for themselves to be blown up by the mines. The chat called that "Deserved Karma".
* The chat tell the couch to crawl on Emma and call Otacon, which they start only to realize that they don't have Otacon's frequency.
** The chat tries to give them the Codec frequency but either none of them worked or the numbers themselves being auto-deleted by their chat bot because they were being interpreted as links to websites instead.
* The Couch agreeing there should be a [[Main/{{Trope}} trope]] titled "Guilt Parrot" after Emma's Parrot starts talking with her voice.
* When presented with a save point in the middle of a lengthy cut scene the couch is visibly relieved after what happened at the start.

-->'''Lani:''' Happy Birth-birth-birth-birthday! Where's Kirran?
* Like the Psycho Mantis stream, users by the names of "COL_Campbell" and "The Patriots AI" hijacked the Twitch stream's chat by making the mods glitch out, setting the game titles to Non-Canon Metal Gear games like Snake's Revenge & Ghost Babel, and giving the couch advice about Non-Canon characters like Dr. Koppelthorn, La Clown, and Pyro Bison.

-->'''Colonel:''' To the left of me there was a orange light in the sky...
-->'''Grant:''' "Colonel that's the sun."
* The couch is repetitively caught and killed while sneaking around naked.

* Liquid: "I've been laying dormant in Ocelot's arm." Lani: "The older I get the dumber that sounds."
* The Patriots rants about information & context control could be applied to Twitter and Reddit.

* The couch is bemused at the lack of response time considering there was a sword fight with the ex-president in the middle of New York.

* When Snake thinks the Major said "Virtual Mission" instead of "Virtuous Mission" the couch point out that virtual missions don't happen until years later and how they never actually never teach anyone anything useful citing Raiden.
* The couch is treated to cutscenes using historical stock footage and they note how hilarious it would be if students learned "actual history" from the game...only to be informed by their Twitch moderator (Who is also their Metal Gear consultant.) that playing Metal Gear Solid 3 is ''exactly'' how he passed history class in highschool.
* Their delightful glee that their commander in this game wanted to be referred to as "Major Tom".
* Grant avoided the trend of getting caught or killed by the first guard in this game...[[spoiler: by being killed by a Crocodile ''before'' he can even run into a guard.]]
* The couch loving all the 60s Pop-culture references and actually curious about the information.
* After hearing that they must make sure that no evidence can be left behind that America was involved with sneaking into Soviet territory they decided to use the Italian Flag Camo Face Paint to make it seem like Italy did it if they get caught.
-->'''The couch as fake Italian Snake with accent:''' I'mma justa lone Italian man sneaking into Russia!
* Sokolov making karate & action poses the couch play along saying he's a trained martial artist while noting how he just did the Kamehameha pose.

-->'''Lani:''' These buttons are actually pressure sensitive so you can aim the gun without shooting. (aims gun) DO NOT SHOOT! (shoots gun) Oops.
** Since they can't actually kill [[spoiler: Ocelot]] Kirran decides to leave a dead body on his face to gross him out as he wakes up, only for it to be pointed out later he also put that body's butt in his face meaning he'll also wake up to excrement all over him.
* The way they depict The Boss ''actually'' being Snake's mother and Snake constantly saying "But mom!"
** [[spoiler: When The Boss betrays them and throws Snake off a bridge they can only reply with a "Mamma mia!" since they were still wearing the Italian Flag Face Paint during the cutscene.]]
* When Colonel Volgin appears and says his "Kuwabara Kuwabara" chant Lani immediately switches to his Kuwabara voice from Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged.
* Lani starts singing the theme to Snake Eater only to start forgetting the lyrics so he starts lip-syncing to the female singer but still gets credit for singing the whole song by Kirran and Grant.

* After waiting for the Caution timer to count down so that they can move on towards the abandoned warehouse, and after the guards have left the area, Lani jokes that a soldier is straggling behind... [[spoiler: Only for that to be EXACTLY what happened! They very nearly come completely out of cover right in front of said guard... and he doesn't even register Snake's presence at all.]] Their reactions to this whole thing are what really sells it.
-->'''Lani:''' [[spoiler: Good thing Russia has the WORST military!]]
* The couch wonder what would happen in the game if you throw a stun grenade in cave after getting surrounded by bats. [[spoiler: Turns out that it not only kills at least 20 bats but ''every'' single animal in the cave!]]

* During his guest appearance [[Creator/LittleKuriboh Martin Billany]] was somehow able to knock down 3 guards with the same kick.
-->'''Kirran:''' Did you guys see how he knocked down all those guys with the same kick that doesn't even go above 2 feet from the ground!?
* The couch find themselves in a shootout ''with a shotgun'' causing a return of their catchphrase:

* Each player of the couch take a moment to do the infamous ''The Ladder Boss Fight'' and treat it like an actual boss fight by rotating who is in control of Snake after they die on purpose, however Kirran is reluctant to do so.
-->'''Kirran:''' (Finding out that he has to do The Ladder) What!? No!
-->'''Lani:''' Look it's only fair! (Kirran proceeds crawl to The Ladder to make things slower after suggested he speedrun it).
** Grant interpreting the Snake Eater song as a cold ''spoken'' read since he doesn't know the lyrics & Kirran interpreting the lyrics actually being about fast food.
* Kirran wanting to throw a live cobra at a guard only to accidentally misjudge the distance of the throw making it so that cobra goes after him, after backing away slowly the cobra turns around and goes after the guard who then kills the cobra. The couch then proceed to shotgun the guard in revenge, wait for a vulture to start eating him, the kill the vulture to eat for themselves later.
* Kirran delightfully pointing out the ''[[VideoGame/{{Metal Gear}} Fire Troopers]]'' that directly reference the one boss they fought in the original MSX Metal Gear.
* Lani constantly making Snake ''meow'' whenever he puts on the Animals Camouflage they received from Ocelot.
* The couch mowing down guards & Hind helicopters alike with the Anti-Air Gun Turrets.

** After receiving the RPG and firing a rocket at a Hind helicopter but missing the helicopter just leaves the map
-->'''Hind Pilot:''' He's got an RPG now!? I can't deal with this, I want to live! (flies away) I'm outta here.
* The couch believes Ocelot making poses and revolving any gun he finds to be a ''fidget'' habit of his.
* During The Fury boss fight: Lani attempting to snipe but repeatedly falling off the edge by accident when trying to avoid flames, Grant acknowledging his habit of thinking the X Button will make him climb when it doesn't after falling overboard to punch & kick The Fury, and Kirran going in guns blazing after "learning the strat" but then losing track of The Fury because of his Jetpack movement.

* After trying the "shoot first, ask question later" approach and failing, the couch actually attempt to infiltrate Groznyj Grad by using the Scientist Uniform like they're supposed to...except they also put on the Soviet Face Paint Camo thinking it would help blend them in, thus they are caught almost instantly by a guard.

* Rather than playing the game the couch watched it in movie form as a [[Series/{{Mystery Science Theater 3000}} ''MGSTFS3K'']] special.

* Gene's line "Are you worthy enough to pull the trigger?"and how the couch loved the delivery of it.

** Kirran pointing out how Gene could rival [[Manga/{{JoJos Bizarre Adventure}} Dio Brando]] with his speed and knife throwing skills.

* Lani & Grant explaining Kirran's absence as him being on a ''stealth sneaking mission''.
* Grant joking that Lani ruined the surprise of him about to pull out a really large Game Boy for the stream only for Lani to honestly be curious if they even have an oversized Game Boy prop in the first place...(''they don't.'')
* Them watching the long opening cutscene play out automatically on it's own, without even getting to the main menu yet, and joking that [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans and Papyrus]] took over the game and are playing the Colonel and Snake due to the game's lack of voice acting being filled in by beeps & boops.
* Their surprised delight to the game playing as well as it does saying how the game feels more like a Game Boy Advance game or even a modern retro Indie title as opposed to Game Boy Color.
* [[Main/{{OncePerEpisode}} Once again]], the guys get caught by a guard in the first map area and trigger an alert phase.

* The couch actually [[Main/{{MediumAwareness}} acknowledge their tendency to immediately get caught within the first few minutes of starting a Metal Gear stream]] and calls it TFS stream staple.

** Being in that maze for so long they start joking that Slasher Hawk was the only boss fight and that the other bosses either don't show up until "Ghost Babel 2", are currently getting killed off screen by Chris who is still doing the mission without Snake, or will be killed-off quickly by a cutscene like [[spoiler: Decoy Octopus]] in Metal Gear Solid 1.

* Not remembering some of the names of the exclusive characters to this game, Grant & Lani just start giving them nicknames based off of their appearance like [[WesternAnimation/{{GIJoeARealAmericanHero}} "Duke"]], [[UsefulNotes/{{VladTheImpaler}} "Vlad"]], and "Other Guy/[[Main/{{RedHerring}} Red Herring]]".

* Before they even got to play this game the couch laugh about it's reputation of being "a movie not a game" in previous streams, even claiming it that when they do get to the game it would be more like a "Let's Watch" for half of it.

* [[Main/{{OncePerEpisode}} As usual]] within five minutes of gaining control the couch is caught by an enemy. In this case being jump stomped on by a Gekko who came from off-screen.
** This gets immediately [[Main/LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by their guest [=JakatoX/JakatoXtra=], one of their admin moderators & their personal Metal Gear series consultant, who directly pointed out [[ShoutOut getting caught or killed by the first few enemies has become a series staple on the TV Tropes page and wanted to see if they could avoid it]]...he even admits not seeing the Gekko death coming and was utterly surprised it happened considering the very low odds of that happening.

--> '''Lani!Old Snake:''' (Approaching an unconscious enemy with a gun) Sorry, but I ''need'' the Drebin Points.

* After it was noted that Drebin was named after [[Film/TheNakedGun Frank Drebin from The Naked Gun movie]] Lani quotes the movie.
--> '''Lani!Old Snake:''' Who are you and how did you get in here?
--> '''Lani!Drebin:''' I'm a locksmith and I'm a locksmith.
* People nicknaming their guest Jakato "Metal Gear Howard" thanks to having some similar looks and knowing everything about the series. He thought it was appropriate since [[Funny/TeamFourStarKingdomHearts Howard was their Kingdom Hearts expert]] and took it as complement.
* During the second Metal Gear Solid 4 stream, right after having the Team Four Star moderator takeover stream the day before where the mods were chased out of the building, after being introduced on the stream Jakato replied with the line [[VideoGame/GhostReconWildlands "It's only me."]] in reference to the line [[VideoGame/SplinterCell Sam Fisher]] said after hearing Snake retired which was getting popular that week.
* The many deaths of Rat Patrol Team 01, either because of being killed off by The Frogs or getting in Snake's way causing accidental friendly fire. The couch characterizes Rat Patrol Team 01 as either suicidal or infants.
--> '''Grant:''' Alright babies, are we ready to go now? Is the school field trip ready. Have you got your snacks? Everybody bring there orange slices and their permission slippies?
--> '''Kirran as Meryl:''' Johnny took my juice box!
--> '''Grant:''' Shut up Meryl! Get on the bus. (Kirran fake cries) Your mother is getting such a phone call when we get back...

--> '''Otacon:''' You've strayed too far from Meryl and her team.
--> '''Grant:''' They're right fucking there!
--> '''Grant as Otacon:''' You can't let them out of your sight. They're a bunch of...
--> '''Kirran:''' They're children.
--> '''Grant:''' They're fucking sheep being led to the slaughter, Snake.
--> '''Grant as Otacon:''' All your teammates currently want to die so they might dive in front of your bullets.
--> '''Grant:''' Snake, Johnny's putting his hand in the blender. Meryl trying to drink the bottles under the sink.
** It being noted that Snake is still the greatest solider because the soldier generation after him are worst than he is and are complete idiots.
---> '''Grant:''' That's why snake is the best. Not because he's particularly skilled, everyone's is just terrible.
---> '''Kirran:''' He's the best we got.
---> '''Grant:''' He's greatest soldier in the world. I hear he can fire a gun without pointing it at himself. Dear god! He seems to have some kind of desire to survive.
*** The events surrounding this sequence got so bad, that to Jakato's surprise, he was given the controller in the second stream despite being barred from playing the game for knowing too much in the first stream. This completely threw him off guard with him being unprepared & not expecting to play due to him thinking himself more as a "codec contact advice guy" with Grant chiming in on how he's now a "long since retired field agent back in the field".
*** Subsequently, as he was relearning the game by playing it, he displayed plenty of skill through knowledge about the game's various weapon abilities, customization features, enemy locations, and tactics that the couch was unfamiliar with, leaving them amazed by how different his playstyle was...only to lose all his progress because Meryl got caught in by his rocket launcher blast the last second.
* After their guest Jakato gets his "groove" back with the game he starts seriously managing the Drebin points, taking care of weapon unlocks, helping the local militia against the Private Military to gain allies, and plays the rest of the level very stealthy via means like the MK. II knockout, silenced tranquilizers to the head, enemy throw downs from behind, and then eliminating them while they were asleep. The couch openly admits it probably would have taken them a couple of streams just to get to that point and maybe a few more streams after that just to learn about the Drebin Shop features outside of collecting points if was just them playing doing it.

* Kirran & Jakato trying to give many clues to Grant to see if he could piece together that [[spoiler:Revolver Ocelot is The Boss & The Sorrow's son]], explaining how Liquid Ocelot is a thing.
* Kirran making a joke about Revolver Ocelot actually being [[Creator/StanLee Stan Lee]], only for Jakato to point out that Stan Lee seriously dressed up as Revolver Ocelot for a video game award show once. [[Main/CassandraTruth Kirran refused to believe it]] until Grant pulled up a video of it confirming it to be true.

* Lani rescuing a Rebel Solider by knocking out a enemy Private Military Solider while trying to help them & being stealthy only for said Rebel Solider to wake up the enemy solider by kicking him and putting the whole area on alert
* Jakato in the chat pointing out there's a ufo crop circle on the way to find Naomi and it just happened to be International Alien Day when they were streaming.

* Grant wondering if there's an In-Game explanation as to why the Gekkos moo like a cow and immediately calling out to Jakato not to tell him if there is since he would like to keep it a mystery so he can endlessly imagine the reason.

* Lani specifically remembering Dr. Madar trying to choke Snake but is now seemingly "okay" just because he's helping Raiden but his interpretation of Old Snake still holds a grudge.
* Grant & Lani reactions to Otacon & Naomi's potential romance calling it "nerd love".
* This act being one big homage to Snatcher & Grant seeing all the callbacks to that game.
* Johnny giving away Snake's cover & Lani's Old Snake interpretation chewing "Johnny Metal Gear" out for it.
* Grant & Lani's thoughts that the Resistance Soldier is starting to think he suddenly has super powers since he keeps making guards fall asleep as he's about to get caught each time.

* Long before the playthrough, the couch have already been quoting Raiden & his voice from this game every once in a while during his appearances in the previous titles.
* They of course have Raiden dress in a poncho and sombrero as soon as they unlock that costume.

* When Paz is introduced as 16, Lani says no Lewds. As soon as he says that, the game shows her in her underwear.
---> '''Lani:''' I said no Lewds!

---> '''Grant:''' I'm sure we would have found a way to get two hours out of this fight...
* The gun stand off scene in the war room.
---> '''Lani:''' Lani: We weren't even supposed to bring guns in here!
* Out of EVERYTHING they've seen Snake do, catching the leg of Metal Gear Zeke pushes their suspension of disbelief to the point of extreme laughter.

* Before they even started streaming the game they joke that if they only play the default mission it wouldn't even take up a whole stream after hearing how short it is.
** During the actual stream Kirran and Grant hand the controls to Lani, assuming he would be able to complete the main mission as soon as possible...[[Main/{{OncePerEpisode}} within the first few seconds of the game Lani fires a gun he thought was silenced to take out a light and ends up putting the entire base on alert, getting caught in the process]]...The resulting aftermath caused the default mission to take up a majority of the stream.
---> '''Lani:''' This is a TFS plays Metal Gear! What were you expecting to happen?!
* The couch reaction to Kiefer Sutherland as Big Boss.
---> '''Lani:''' Boss, do you need a lozenge? Your voice seems...
---> '''Grant:''' I just wanna hear the Boss, 'Chole, how far am I?'
* The couch wrapping their heads around the fact that Paz, Chico, and a PSP Title are important to MGSV as well as the canon.
* Kirran realizes that XOF is FOX backwards moments before it's reviled on screen.
* The couch reaction to Boss' 'kept you waiting'.
---> '''Lani:''' Snake, who are you talking to?

* While waiting for an alert to die down, Lani hids near a cave.
--->'''Lani:''' The only place we didn't check is that cave by the cost and that's haunted. I'm not going there.
--->'''Grant:''' We can't go by that haunted alcove.
--->'''Kirran:''' Last time Gary went in there he came back without a butthole.
--->'''Lani:''' And it turned Steve gay.
* Grant bemoans the fact they can't do a Snake impression as he just sounds like Kiefer Sutherland now.
* Grant jokes that Chico talks like George from Revengeance.
