* Harley having difficulty with the demonym for Corto Maltese, so she just angrily calls her captors "''VideoGame/MarioKart'' racing d-bags".[[note]]Corto Maltese is named after the real-life Italian comic book [[ProtagonistTitle and character]]. Mario, on the other hand, is named after a real-life Italian American, Mario Segale. However, in the film, the locals speak Spanish. Later, Peacemaker assumes the locals drink fernet, a type Italian hard liquor popular in Argentina.[[/note]] The correct demonym in this case being Corto Maltesian, [[BrickJoke as per Silvio.]]

** When Bloodsport comments that they would have to kill him if a "[[PaperThinDisguise shark shaped bloke with a mustache]]" creeped up on them like that, King Shark yells "FUCK!" and throws a tantrum.

* As Flag is listing all the ways that Thinker could be killed for doing the wrong thing, Harley [[FelonyMisdemeanor cuts in]] with "having vanity license plates", "mismatching blacks" and "coughing without covering your mouth."

* The utter [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe bafflement]] of Harley and Flag at the sight of TDK's [[DetachmentCombat powers]]. Turns out "TDK" is short for ''The Detachable Kid'', an obscure DC supervillain. No wonder he dodged questions of his identity.

*** This frustration is even better when one realizes that since Flag's entire team, including Weasel, was supposed to die as a distraction for [= DuBois =] team. Waller isn't disappointed that Weasel's (apparently) dead; she's just annoyed with her people's incompetence on sheer principle.

I feel like tons of people (both on this site and off) miss the point of the scene with Savant and automatically brand him a Dirty Coward. Going back into the massacre would've been a Stupid Sacrifice on his part, which he basically admitted beforehand by sloppily declaring Weasel dead. The whole backing behind calling the rest of Task Force X "amateurs" is because they don't know how to prioritize survivalism over combat when it's necessary.


* The team is getting decimated, Harley and Flag are pinned down, the music swells as Savant surveys the carnage and gets ready to burst into furious... [[DirtyCoward no, actually he screams like a girl, turns around and books it right back into the sea]]. Not even Waller's demands for him to turn back can stop him... until she blows his head apart, of course. Probably one of the most twistedly funny examples of BlackComedy and a SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome blended together in recent years.

** Just how perfect a puzzle piece Starro the Conqueror is for the film. It's a cosmic-level threat '''well''' above the Suicide Squad's pay grade. . . yet it's also so terribly comic-book ''goofy'' (yet terrifying in concept) it fits right in with the film's tone.

** In the entire taking-turns-threatening-Thinker scene, the ''only'' line left for the utterly unintimidating Polka Dot Man is a milquetoast "Yeah" at the end.
