Native Well thought lines!

One of Vice President Asliks commercial lines goes like this:

Keeping the trains on time!

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't some dude in germany once keeping the trains on time and then suddenly he started killing loads of Jews..?

The game designers have thought this well through

Anyone else found something similar?

I think you're referring to Italian Fascist dicatator Mussolini, who is said to have made the trains run on time. Which is actually a myth, but it's a well-known one.


He didn't kill Jews but he didn't treat them particularly well. Which, as it happens, is why my grandfather never completed his engineering degree at the University of Pisa.

Lungbusters - Who wants to grow old anyway?
Expresso - Hyper-caffeinated so you don't have to be

Mostly the slogans made me laugh. As far as actual lines I can't think of any that I found particularly funny. Although there is a difference between context and delivery.

In the good ending of AE when you see the remaining Mudokons huddled together in a cell, you can hear one say "Aw this sucks". The way Lorne (I assume) delivered that line makes me crack up every time.

The cutscenes with "Big Face" in AO were my favorite especially when Abe puts his hand up to the moon, "Said our land was changing , was unbalanced at best" that was a sad line.

I think nearly every cut scene in AO was very well thought out.

They not only rhymed but had deep meaning to them as well. Or something cliche like that.

There was a little "poem" about paramites.
