In past Halo games there were always laughs to be had (partly because we enjoyed the game) like killing Cpt Keyes straight away on The Pillar of Autumn, killing Sgt Johnson over and over again throughout CE, finding the easter eggs and skulls like Grunt Birthday in Halo 2.
There is no humour in Halo 4. Sara Palmer and the other menile new characters are uninteresting. Grunts aren’t funny or quirky anymore.
If you found any funny Halo 4 moments, pray tell.

I lol’d when I took h4 out of my console and didn’t bother to put it in the case. Thought about it then decided it wasn’t worth the 2 seconds of effort, just threw it on the floor. I’m not sure where it is now, I haven’t even looked for it
Usually in Halo the marines and soldiers tend to say some funny things when fighting. I haven’t really looked for it, but has anyone else seen them say anything in Halo 4?
I agree, Halo 4 took itself too seriously. I know everybody wants a dark, “gritty” game/story nowadays but sometimes it’s good to just unwind a little bit.
Yeah I agree the marines don’t say anything interesting now.
I think there were a few scripted humorous scenes.
The first one that comes to mind is in the first level when Cortana is explaining how some parts of the ship are not stable and Chief almost falls to his death, followed by “right…”
Not hilarious but the kind of dry humor Halo has that is amusing.
What else like that happened, trying to remember…
Also when Lasky orders a fully armed Pelican to “chase down Chief” in case he got away.
I miss grunts screaming “DEMON!!” when they see me.
Only humor Ive seen is a vid on YouTube of two marines standing guard (voiced by Conan O’Brian and Andy Richter)
There is the Conan easter egg.
And the one inshutdown where a Marine is testing out the Mantis. The guy tells him to look up, but the Mantis looks down. The marine cries “aww! Who inverted the looking stick!”
Don’t forget the hologram tea-bag… which I’ve never been able to do for some reason. It’s funny though (multiplayer but still).
Well, cortana does say the occaisonal funny.
For example, the (god awful) mission reclaimer when you first see the Mammoth.
“Well, someones overcompensating.”
I also remember something when they find an intact Warthog after the FUD crashes. I think it was funny, but I can’t remember…
This is pretty much the only thing you can do with Lasky. 
There’s no easter egg associated with him like there was with Captain Keyes (“Hi, my name is Keyes”, Megg, Proto-Gravemind’s pipe) and Sarge.
Worst part is that he deloads before the Mammoth even reaches any enemy. So we can’t have Lasky running at Grunts. Remember Johnson in Halo 3? How you could bring him unarmed and have him running and screaming?
When Halo moves away from this invincible NPCs nonsense that was reintroduced with ODST and brings back Halo 3’s tried and true resurrection system for them, that’ll be the day I have fun.
have anyone tried the marines, WITH the IWHBYD skull on? i haven’t really played with the skulls yet.

I’ve had one make a reference to Spartan Linda but that’s about it.
Oh right… don’t forget the Red Vs Blue Easter Eggs in Spartan Ops. Those are hilarious.
