"Serious Sam 3 is a constant prelude to itself, an ode to destruction forever building to greater crescendos, an orgy of cartoon violence that keeps on inviting new participants instead of slowing down and catching its breath. Each new weapon marks a leap upwards in the scale of its increasingly absurd onslaught of enemies and crumbling scenery, and each time you’ll think 'Good grief, this is ridiculous: there’s no way it can top this.' But it does. It always does."
Rock Paper Shotgun

There was only one sure thing I knew when starting HS. That was that this thing would go batshit insane in ways I couldn't begin to imagine. In fact, it was practically the mission statement.

We're here to make coffee metal. We will make everything metal. Blacker than the blackest black times infinity!
Nathan Explosion, Metalocalypse

Asker: "No One Can Hear You" [was] one of the strangest Adventure Time episodes yet.

"That descended into the absurd rather quickly."

"Remember when we just robbed banks, eh? What innocent times those were."
Lester, during a questline centred around preventing a world war, Grand Theft Auto Online: The Doomsday Heist

"Oh, hello. Have a big ship. Done? Have a bigger ship. Having fun yet? Bigger ship. Had enough? No? Even bigger ship. Just about sick of this? Oh, nonono, we're not done yet! CHECK THIS MOTHERFUCKER OUT!"
Meckell, describing the Shivans, Spacebattles.com forums

"I thought I was just in for a fun little mech game! I had no idea I'd entered the 'furries commit war crimes' timeline!"

Cobalt_Heroes25: Remember when the strangest thing that happened was when Tony Stark publicly admitted he was Iron Man?
Capt_Cracker: I remember how big that announcement was. And how cavalier Tony was, just dropping it in the middle of a press conference. That was a completely unreal moment. Every now and then we get talking about the weird stuff that goes on, and people laugh because I call that "Iron Man Press Conference" the weirdest thing so far. But, think about how much we actually knew and saw before that? Since then, we've been invaded by aliens at least twice, there's at least two gods running around, a guy from the 40s was frozen and survived, and there's that giant-ass performance art thing in the middle of the ocean. And that's just off the top of my head. Stark, for some bizarre reason, gets top billing because he was the genesis behind everything.
