Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - BEST LINE IN GAME

[caanguloc]

I went to the store, bought groceries, put gas, stop by the library, go tot the movies... and I've managed to avoid drowning!

[666nadroj]

i rike it

[Jradgex]

It take real balls to avoid drowning

[dapoculos13]

I don't get it. Explain pls?

[mujuma]

@dapoculos13 I havn't played the game, but I guess the hilarity is based off the fact Raiden called the Colonel to merely say they avoided drowning.

[dapoculos13]

@mujuma Yeah still don't get it. :\ Thnx anyway.

[Szriko]

@dapoculos13

I can't explain it, but I did manage to avoid drowning!

[dapoculos13]

@Szriko Yay! Cuz there might've been a toilet in the core and since it's flooded.... yeah...Noone wants to drown in poo water. =S

[MrANTIeggman]

Colonel: Raiden, whats your status?

Raiden: Colonel? I've got Emma Emmerich here. We've managed to avoid drowning! Then I took an arrow to the knee...

[MrDevilzman666]

Trophy unlocked:Managed to Avoid Drowning(Silver)

For MGS HD Collection...

[Katbotz]

@MrDevilzman666 hahhahah I fucking love you. That's hilarious!

[MrDevilzman666]

@Katbotz Thanks!Glad you enjoyed my comment...

[FelixRm23]

He still does not want his scissors 61!

[WoahiFoundNemo]

*CUES THE GRANDIOSE PARADE*

[radbirdy]

Raiden: ... we've managed to avoid drowning!

Youtube audience member: Good job for avoiding drowning Raiden! Have a gold star for that! lol did you manage to avoid drowning flipping off the light switch as well haha!

Raiden: *grabs them and forcibly holds them under a sink full of water until they choke and panic and struggle to breathe*

WHO'S AVOIDING DROWNING NOW!! HUH?! WHO'S AVOIDING DROWNING NOW!!!

...

*after the ordeal*

Youtube audience member: ..wow.. I managed to avoid drowning...

[Toma4449]

@radbirdy Wow, that was umm... not funny.

[radbirdy]

@Toma4449 I clicked on your user page and it showed a picture of two fucking naked guys.. the fuck?! o_O no wonder you didn't get it

[Toma4449]

@radbirdy Of course I got it, it just was like, well, not funny.

And yes, that's called somebody going on your account and changing your background and details for the lolz, I'm just too lazy to restore it. Also, are you stating that just because somebody has two naked guys as they're background picture makes them stupid? What are you? A homophobe?

[goodnaturedjoshing]

@radbirdy lol hahaha reminds me of the vid Zach Galifianakis Destroys Heckler

[G0odf3lla]

I dont get it

[SmashMasterFox]

You have a shit-tacular sense of humor.

[choutukawaiitaki]

"OH REARRY?!"

[Enlightenedopinion92]

"I need scissors, 61!"

[majinshenmue]

I'm here because the kids at GameFAQ finds this line stupid/funny/ignorant/dumb. I don't see why. Swimming through all of that is one crazy ass and fucked up ordeal. Raiden is just expressing his excitement (and a little disbelief) that "WE'VE", meaning both Raiden and Emma, manage to come out that mess safe and sound.

[RaggaeOfFunk]

@majinshenmue

I agree, when I played this game I didn't think much of it and I still don't. Given the context it's not like it's outrageous for him to say that. It's kind of like "the laugh" from FFX. I don't get what's so "meme worthy" about it.

[Antiformed]

@majinshenmue It's just funny because it's such an absurd thing to say. If I had just navigated past mines and shit with a girl on my back, that's probably not the response I'd give. It would be more like "That was some scary fucking shit!"

[apocalypticknight]

Guys Raiden is serious. They could have drowned!

[adawk20]

149 people drowned

[BasherOfImbeciles]

@adawk20 Dumbass

[TheAtomicFury]

Raiden: "Colonel, I've got Emma Emmerich here. We've managed to avoid

DROWNING!!"

Colonel: "Cool story bro"

[Nayan1994]

this is not funny at all, get a sense of humour

[DeeKey666]

GOOD JOB

[TheRealBlueFlame]

Good job Raiden! You also managed to call the Colonel all by yourself!

What will you impress us with next?

[0xXDubstepXx0]

Grandpa Max?! D:

:mindfucked:

[Shadowdetective12]

i dont get it

[RyanOsangOfficial]

I don't get what was so funny (?)

[Kiroswan]

I wish I could avoid drowning.

[SupercellTouchdown]

Raiden: We've managed to aviod drowning

Colnel: *FacePalm* No SHIT SHERLOCK!

[Fuji086]

I often enjoy the compliments of managing to avoid drowning, it's one of my best qualities.

[somuchforthecityeh]

haha I always wondered if anyone else found this funny

[PSspecialist]

Colonel should have responded with: "I need scissors! 61!"

[theamazingempiricist]

GOOD JOB

[bobbinsthethird]

I've managed to subscribe to Motdef

[skuntishtrace]

Raiden: "Colonel? I've got Emma Emmerich here. We've managed to avoid drowning!"

Colonel: "...Fuck."

[PabloGogMagog]

Raiden sounds so pleased with himself.

[DeadToMe15]

Raiden: We've managed to avoid, DROWNING. Oh yeah.

Colonel: ... I think your crotch sui- I mean your skull suit is too tight there Raiden.

[Joeytehgeetarist]

If I was the colonel I wouldn't believe him.

[ironcross2010]

I met Quinton Flynn today at a Con and I got him to say that line! Best moment at the con!

[KennethMoreland]

We've managed to avoid LIIIIIGHT!

[Wittman789]

Anyone else let emma drown?

[luvdady]

@Wittman789 after I smacked her around a few times

[Wittman789]

@luvdady I planted all sixteen c4's on he then detonated them

[WalkmanSilver]

I'm going to go swimming in a couple of days. If I avoid drowning i'll let you know

[BetaSolution]

@WalkmanSilver It's been two days...

He didn't make it, did he?

You will be missed, friend.

[TheQueHegan]

'Colonel, ive got Emma Emmerich here....we've managed to avoid DROWNING!!!!

Colonel: Good job Raiden! Thats a purple heart for you buddy!

Raiden: 'YEAAAAAAAH!!'

Colonel: ..............idiot.

[BlackFox0911]

"All of your base are belong to us"

[Fuji086]

@BlackFox0911 Wrong meme.

[TheEverskye]

Such a feat is not possible for a human. Praise be with you.

[Cacowninja]

@borebambule It's a codec not a phone.

[Cacowninja]

Raiden:We've managed to avoid drowning!

Colonel:Those swimming lessons really paid off huh?

[xEclipzBarker]

Colonel ive got emma emmerich here

-Puts sunglasses on-

Weve managed to avoid drowning

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

[Cyberhamon]

145 people drowned.

[brocks1564]

I bet ridden felt special when cambell told him good job

[MorbidMarauder]

I drowned.

[cb19882000]

oh i get it now thanks megaman i didnt know what was so funny lol

[smithhedgehog]

I love the games but most videogame writing is unanimously bad - including the metal gears.

[AwayRain]

GRANDPA MAX!

[torchicguy]

I dunno, the "I need scissors 61!" line is pretty silly.

[VictorVonFox]

I NEED NEED SCISSORS!!! 61!!!!

[PKFlashBeta]

Raiden has skills man!

[WolfTheGamer]

You know the line wouldn't have been too bad if the delivery wasn't so freaking weird....he seriously sounds so proud of himself XD.....Come on Colonal, give him a pat on the head or something :)

[Yuglyoshi]

I do not see what's funny about this. Maybe if you have no idea about the context, but otherwise...

[megamantwelve]

@Yuglyoshi What makes it funny is the fact that Raiden is actualy TELLING the colonel he "avoided drowning". Its like, no shit, of course you avoided drowning if you're talking to him. The whole conversation is completely unnecessary.

[MetalGearSteel]

@megamantwelve if it was Snake, he'd just be like yeah, I didn't drown. Or just say nothing. :)

[nickzambuto]

@Yuglyoshi its because he seems so proud of himself, like he accomplished something great.

[strymnky4evr]

Crazy, wait- Emma? EMMA!

[PKrockin]

Wait, this line wasn't spoken in the context of being trapped underwater or something? Raiden meant it like "we're doing all right considering the situation"?

[wolfthing11]

I don't get it

[chickenwings998]

Colonel: Raiden, what's your status?

Raiden: Everythings fine colonel, though i did spend 10 minutes strangling Emma Emmerich and then i knocked her out. When she woke up i procceded to snap her neck. Dont worry i reloaded the game and this time i only knocked her out once.

Colonel: Good work raiden, thats exactly what i would have done, we need to show these women whos boss

[GAF1987]

Raiden: Colonel, we have drowned and gone to hell!

[MrBuch169169]

Cam Clarke - able to avoid drowning!

[SarahStumbleine]

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS STRIKES AGAIN!

[jetblack4ever]

Holy crap, I just now realized why Raiden sounds familiar. It's AXEL!

[watchingrob]

@jetblack4ever Yup. Quinton Flynn

[Skull0fR0ckS123]

"How many times has Raiden avoided drowning"

"OVER 9000!!"

[Thassarian09]

I've sadly never got this joke...

[stenmft21]

@Thassarian09 Drowning means by cum. and shell 1 is his nut.

[Thassarian09]

@stenmft21 Ive got a strange feeling thats not what im looking for...

[stenmft21]

@Thassarian09 it is believe me hideo kojima and capcom have been placing perverted easter eggs in all their games.

[Thassarian09]

@stenmft21 Well thats obvious :P

[Taizuko]

@Thassarian09 The joke is that he's saying that they managed to not die and that's obvious considering he's alive.

[WinstonTheFan1]

we managed to avoid vamp´s fuckin steroids

[jofish21]

love this game

[TheKvant1]

There's a lot of pressure on my torso!

[alambert83]

@TheKvant1

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHhahahah­ahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

[Surpulicious]

This is like saying to someone I managed to avoid chopping my head off. Seriously, if I was writing this script this would be my reaction as the colonel

"Raiden: We managed to avoid drowning"

"Colonel: ..............................­.............. (just looks at him like he's fucking stupid)

[CybermeN100]

i dont get it

[420goonie]

lol wtf

[BuenaVoz]

Raiden: "Colonel, I've got Emma Emmerich here. We've managed to avoid d-brpbrblll........

Colonel: "Uhh...Raiden?"

Raiden: "....."

Colonel: "RAIDEN!!!"

[BRYANUCHIHA1499]

@BuenaVoz this comment was funnier than the video HAHAHAHAHA

[megamantwelve]

I don't see why Raiden cares so much. I manage to avoid drowning every day. In fact, I'm not even drowning now.

[Curseco]

@megamantwelve XD

[sonicboom454]

@megamantwelve TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, OH DRY ONE

[TheAESolid]

@megamantwelve HAHAHAHAHAH Fucking best comment ever....

[Equilibr1st]

@megamantwelve Best.....comment.....ever....

[GhostSnake]

@megamantwelve Good job.

[mystikemo]

@megamantwelve LOL WINNING TROLL IS WINNING!

[breakfastisgo]

@megamantwelve I'm so jealous.

[VincentPrice111]

@megamantwelve Do you often swim through giant maze-like areas while carrying some one who can't swim, let alone manage breathing properly?

I think taken out of context the line can be funny, but he dealt with lots of shit while he was underwater.

Frankly, I'm surprised they both managed to avoid drowning.

[rockhopper964]

@VincentPrice111

Its a game,in games ANYTHING can happen.

[VincentPrice111]

@rockhopper964 Yeah, and all I was trying to do is rationalize why the line isn't funny and is a decent description of their thoughts and feelings on the recent events that transpired.

[Pauld0622]

@rockhopper964 NO....this is Metal Gear... anything can happen...... as long they have a game to explain why it happened :p

[DOMOMAN89]

@megamantwelve Clearly you are some sort of god, i'm always drowning.. it's unavoidable!

[soulessphilosopher]

@megamantwelve Good job. Get over to Shell 1 as soon as you can.

[thiscakeisFALSE]

@megamantwelve I am!!

(GARGLE)

[ZeXCra]

Biggest WTF moment in mgs2. I had to play the game again just to make sure i heard Raiden correctly.

[guitarsANDcars39]

i dont understand it

[armagibson]

@guitarsANDcars39 me neither ......

[DarkAnsem88]

@guitarsANDcars39 me neither.

[jonwizardk9]

ROFL

[spectrevampire]

Raiden: We've managed to avoid drowning!

Colonel: ......?

Raiden: Just thought you oughta know....we'll let you know if we drown or anything!

[Yeah10020]

Achievement! 

[ZappaFan101]

This is so good I mentioned it in one of my vids...

/end selfish plug

[Massacretalitor]

Achievement unlocked.

[brandonhud60]

How is this better than the cornol saying "i need scissors, 61"

[Surpulicious]

@brandonhud60 Because it shows how stupid Raiden is. He wouldn't be talking if he drowned, so that line was completely pointless, and begs the question how did Raiden ever make it into the special forces being such a faggy dumbass.

[wingsofhope2]

Good job for NOT drowning! You get a gold star!

[awlccl123]

Personally I prefer the "Did you say 'nerd'?" line.

[iDrankTooMuchTea01]

What the fuck? o_o

[WolfTheGamer]

@Wacko375.....same here...I loved Raiden way in MGS2 aswell...besides whats not to like he's awesome and always makes me laugh :)

[DarkKetzerisch]

Featured on TV Tropes! =D

[Wacko375]

I'm one of the rare few who loves Raiden (even before they ninjafied him) MGS2 rules! (apart from liquids arm :/ which still annoys me)

[Seijitsu0]

The part that always gets me is, he sounds so proud to have avoided drowning.

I avoid drowning on a daily basis. In fact, I flipped a light switch earlier, didn't drown ONCE.

[48to52gfy]

Raiden says the same thing after every drink.

[Djstudiosgold]

*after hurricane katrina*

Raiden: We've managed to avoid drowning!

...too soon?

[RIP302]

Colonol, Raiden here, I've managed to avoid my ex!

Good job Raiden!

[ZappaFan101]

*Raiden pisses in his pants*

Ahhhhhh!!! Im drowning!!!

[Ragitsu]

*in the middle of Arizona*

"WE'VE MANAGED TO AVOID DROWNING!"

[StrikeFreedom986]

132 people didn't managed to avoid drowning

[EvilSisterOfChicken]

is it just me or did Raiden sound like aruka-sensei from naruto

[robotfreshpies]

God I hate (MGS2) Raiden and Emma. Kill the entire mood

[WorldOfSnakes]

@robotfreshpies The Emma part in the game was so memorable...

[robotfreshpies]

@WorldOfSnakes Yeah, as memorable as getting your dick stuck in a blender

[WorldOfSnakes]

@robotfreshpies lol i was just saying it's too bad for you because you didn't like Raiden. Had you liked him, you'd have had an amazing experience with MGS2. Because truly, it was something..

[robotfreshpies]

@WorldOfSnakes There was a lot I didn't like about Raiden, especially as the main character. However I had a great time with this game, heaps of fun. Just didn't like certain aspects of it

[Surpulicious]

@robotfreshpies I always shut the game off when you make it to the big shell. MGS2=disappointment.

[EGLchan]

....I don't get it.

[SilverTrinityVGM]

@EGLchan He didn't really care that they almost drowned is the punchline here.

[EGLchan]

@SilverTrinityVGM  Who didn't? The colonel or Raiden?

[SilverTrinityVGM]

@EGLchan The colonel. =)

[nrrork]

I'm not a military man, so I guess I'll have to put this one in the hands of the good people who HAVE served. Um, did you ever radio your commanding officer to say "Sir, we managed to not whiz the entire mission down our leg in the most humiliating and catastrophic way possible!"

If you HAVE had to say that, please don't tell me. Just say it's classified or something.

[MrTheguywithalife]

colonel: raiden, whats your status?

Raiden: colonel, i got a girl with me!!! it turns out im not gay, i just look like it!!!

colonel: ...darn it, i thought we had something special=)

[theamitlifeTV]

people who dont get it

Raiden says we avoided drowning which is obvious

2. Snake gets called so much in the game it gets annoying but the calls are important

Raiden finally gets a call saying I didnt drown

3.it was pretty pointless to call and say I didnt drown and then hang up (though colonel told him to come back I was saying Raidens Words)

[supereldinho]

I don't get it...

[willawere]

Colonel: Raiden, what's your status?

Raiden: Colonel, Emma Emmerich is right now in my presence, she and I have managed to avoid inhaling water while escaping from the flood, which would therefore prevent our respiratory system from functioning properly, which would therefore kill us because of the lack of oxygen that our lungs need in order to live.

Colonel: I am afraid my dear fellow, that that statement previously established by you, is a quite obvious one my friend.

[Zguy1996]

@willawere !?!?!?

[blueguy09]

@willawere Raiden: Colonel, you know that your a stick like shaped erect figure ( penis )

Colonel: lol i know right

[Katingaan]

@willawere Redundancy Department of Redundancy.

[jknsps]

@willawere hahaha

[cookfamfour]

Why is this funny?

[Mrcrazy80]

@cookfamfour You have managed to avoid getting the point!

[Majic275]

133 people drowned. :(

[ZappaFan101]

Colonel: Raiden, what's your status?

Raiden: I've got Emma Emmerich here. We've managed discover the siccors.

Colonel: Good job! Then we are finished!

Raiden: Huh?

Colonel: You think I give a damn about metal gear or you? I just wanted to get my siccors back and continue my arts and crafts.

Raiden: No it's not over, I must complete this mission.

Colonel: Turn the game consule off. Dont you think you played long enough?

Raiden: Holy fuck! How did you....? Ok, you win.

[MARC0XZ]

I dun get this

[l0l0l0lhead]

"We've managed to avoid drowning" ? Really..? Why is this funny to a lot ? You could've drowned swimming in all that shit, no ? l0l

[zninja141]

The President is dead but we still manages to avoid Drowning! And that is what REALLY matters!!!

[luvdady]

132 are upset raiden isnt naked the entire game

[TakeMeToInfiniity]

@luvdady I most certainly am.

[Apathesis0]

Raiden sucks. He is absolutely a large part of the reason why I refuse to play anything past the tanker chapter.

[AntiReviews]

@Apathesis0 Joke's on you, buddy.

[Apathesis0]

@AntiReviews Not really. I watched my friend beat the whole game.

[falconriffle]

@Apathesis0

Cool Story Bro.

You want some fries with that rant?

[Apathesis0]

@falconriffle No.

[theprinceofprussia]

@Apathesis0 raiden's a bad ass he controls lightning practically and stops a friggin boat

[VeggiePyromaniac]

I dont get it...
