Metal Gear 2's "deadly poisonous Zanzibar hamsters".

Naked Snake's Flanderization into trying to eat everything in sight, and wondering if it can be eaten if it's not.

↑ As part of the Mind Screw, near the end of the game a fake Game Over message is displayed with the words "Fission Mailed" instead of "Mission Failed" and the game continuing in a smaller window. As an unaware player can easily die thinking it is a real Game Over screen; the term is used to describe failures of a higher level than normal, as well as the trope it named.
↑ One of Raiden's lines. Popular for its Narm, as his tone suggests it's something for which he should be very proud.
↑ One of the fake Colonel's codec messages after Arsenal Gear is partially infected with a virus. Popular for its absurdity. Used to parody people who post Insane Troll Logic on the Internet. Time Cube is a prime example of the type of thing that gets this response.
↑ Yelled by various characters after a Game Over in most of the games.
↑ Mannerisms particular to Revolver Ocelot.
↑ The Boss reveals her caesarian scar as part of her explanation of her backstory.
↑ Liquid and Snake spend a lot of the first Metal Gear Solid yelling at each other.
↑ The original Metal Gear had a lot of this.
↑ About half of Snake's dialogue is copying someone else.
↑ The Colonel yells this in Metal Gear Solid 3 after a Game Over or killing a character that appears in a chronologically later game. Used when someone does something that would mess with time.
↑ The reaction all the guards have when they discover the player. Used when someone is surprised.
↑ A Suspiciously Specific Denial your Mission Control gives you at one point. Believe or not, there is in fact a trap on that train.
↑ One of Otacon's first lines, part of his Establishing Character Moment as a collosal nerd with a tenuous grasp of reality.
↑ A snowclone based on Ocelot's claim that he can kill anything with the twelve bullets in his two revolvers.
