Despite all the carnage of Invincible VS, there are some funny moments.


    open/close all folders 

    Pre-release 
  • Allen's reveal trailer is framed through an original animation of Invincible and Rex both playing the game at the former's house. Then when Invincible beats Rex with Allen, Omni-Man shows up.
  • For April Fools 2026, Invincible VS's social media accounts jokingly revealed several last minutes addition to the roster, including Adam Wilkins, Thicc Omni-Man, Rapidly Aging Flaxan, Allen's alien cat, and the coup de grace, the subway train from Mark's fight with Nolan.
    • Thicc Omni-Man is described as "once thought to be two giant tomatoes" and has the playstyles "Alluring and juicy".
    • The "Invincible Train"'s description calls it "great for father-son bonding" and has the secondary playstyle "traumatic", just to rub it in further.
    • Rapidly Aging Flaxan is given a fake moveset that's just dying instantly whenever the player does literally anything.
  • When the Open Beta concluded, a statistics sheet was posted on the game's social media accounts, showing typical things like how many matches were played, most picked characters and so on. One of the statistics listed was how many times Invincible lost, which happened 1284218 times. Even in his own game, Mark cannot catch a break.
  • A week leading up to the release of the game, Aleks Le note  and Malese Jow, the voices for Invincible and Dulpi-Kate respectively, visited the Skybounds office for a few promo videos.
    • In most of the videos, Aleks is wearing a full Invincible cosplay. No matter what.
    • In the first video, Malese is excited to be in the offices to help promote the game. As she mentions getting dressed for the occasion, Aleks walks in, in the aforementioned cosplay.
      Malese: (Beat) You gotta be fucking kidding me.
      Aleks: (Happily) I’m-
      (Cuts to title card)
    • Aleks and Malese reenact a few of their lines from the game. And get up to antics while doing so, such as Aleks threatening an Invincible Funko figure, Malese leaving an elevator filled with cutouts of characters from the show (and Aleks standing amongst them in his cosplay) and Malese beating up Aleks while a green screen is used to clone herself.
      • Among these antics is Malese saying Kate’s line of how she never had a normal childhood. Normally pretty sad, except not only is Malese saying this in actual therapy, but Aleks, still in his cosplay, is her therapist.

    Gameplay 
  • Invincible's taunt is to quickly take out his phone and send a text message after it rumbles in his pocket. He even hold a finger up while telling his opponent that he needs a few seconds, as if this text message mattered more than the fight.
  • Anything that has to do with Rex Splode is this.
    • From his Deep Dive video, the developers couldn't find any better word to describe him other than "asshole". So what Fighting Game Archetype does he represent here? The Zoner, one of the most annoying archetypes to fight against.
    • His taunt has him flip an exploding coin over his shoulder. Not only can it deal damage, it can kill his opponent if they’re at low health via blowing up their torso. There’s even an achievement for doing so.
      Rex: Keep the change!
    • Rex's ultimate, otherwise known as "The Salute". It starts off with him using explosive attacks before capping it off with him throwing several letters at the opponent (which spell out "FUCK YOU") and exploding them, all while giving the opponent the double deuce.
      Rex: Read fast, dickhead!
    • His win quote against Conquest.
      Rex: You look like a freaking pervert anyway.
    • Should he clash with Cecil, he has some choice words for his leadership skills. Fast food workers could tend to agree or disagree.
      Rex: I bet Burger Mart has better bosses!
  • Thula's win dialogue against Rex is relief that she doesn't have to hear his half-witted quips anymore.
  • The computers in this game has a unique tendency to perform a taunt every time they kill a character. If being the victim of Unsportsmanlike Gloating when playing online isn’t bad enough, even the game itself will make fun of you.
  • Cecil’s inclusion in the game is this. While Power Creep, Power Seep is in play allowing him to stand toe to toe against everybody else, it’s amusing to think how a normal man with a few guns and a teleporter is able to take down heroes, aliens, and even Viltrumites.
    • Black Comedy comes into play when you realize that said normal man can also be victim to the various supers and ultimates everyone else can dish out. Especially if it’s Omni-Man’s ultimate, where he uses Cecil to destroy the Flaxan’s home planet before dropping a mountain-sized rock on him.
  • Normally, Allen’s backwards walking animation has him making a beckoning gesture towards his opponent. But if he’s at low health, he lifts his finger up, as if telling his opponent to wait a minute.
  • Allen's Ultimate, "Tough Love", has him give his opponent a beatdown… while also telling them to stop being a douchebag. And in a nice Call-Back, he asks right before the finishing blow if they exist on Earth.
  • Invincible’s forward special, “Invincible Punch”, can kill low health opponents by punching their head clean off. Not only can it be a Surprisingly Sudden Death to anyone not expecting it, even Mark himself is taken aback by it.
    Invincible: Woah! Okay then.
  • Allen’s Arcade ending has him hype himself up as a hero after helping stop the Viltrumite invasion of Earth, only to panic after Thula, who he thought he’s killed, gets back up to attack him.
  • Instead of a traditional game over screen or a “Would you like to continue?” prompt, losing a match in the arcade mode nets you this prompt.
  • Rex’s DLC costume has him wearing nothing but a towel, referencing him cheating on Eve with Dupli-Kate. As a result, Rex is just barely subverting Full-Frontal Assault whenever the skin is used.
    • And even then, because of Rex’s athleticism in gameplay, he is constantly giving up skirt shots up his towel, revealing his (censored) junk. Hell, his win pose in this costume gives a full view of said junk in a freeze frame.

    Pre-fight intros 
  • The entire reason why an Atom Eve Mirror Match happens is because one of them dated Rex.
    Atom Eve 1: This is stupid. If we work together, we could do so much good!
    Atom Eve 2: I won't work with anyone who'd willingly date Rex Splode.
  • Thula's pre-fight dialogue with Eve is less of a threat and more of a genuine question.
    Thula: Why is it that everything you make is pink? There are other colors.
  • A Conquest Mirror Match has both versions positively elated that they get to fight the other.
    Conquest 1: Haha, yes! This is going to be the best day I've had in a long time!
    Conquest 2: I don't know where the fuck you came from, but bring it on!
  • Nolan and Cecil don't have much to say to each other, and it's hilarious. Also, the silence as the camera pans up Nolan's body and focuses on his head for a full second before the phrase makes it ten times funnier.
  • Mark's always got time for an asskicking.
    Battle Beast: Hello boy, I look forward to licking your blood from my snout.
    Invincible: Yep, snout-licking is not on my schedule. But I can fit you in for an asskicking!
  • Cecil’s willingness to work with villains is a known character trait of his, but in one intro, he gives a job offer to Battle Beast of all people.
    Cecil: You know, if you could learn to follow my orders, I could offer you a job.
    Battle Beast: I take no orders. The only pleasure I know is violence!
    • Considering how poorly keeping Sinclair and Darkwing II went for Cecil, and with how Battle Beast nearly killed not only Invincible, but almost every member of the new Guardians, one wonders how poor that fallout would have gone if Battle Beast accepted.
  • Even among the Proud Warrior Race that is the Viltrumites, unkempt facial hair is treated as Serious Business.
    Omni-Man 1: Your moustache looks... unkempt. What a disgrace.
    Omni-Man 2: You Bastard! I keep my moustache pristine.
    • Gets better if one if them is using the Coalition of Planets skin, which gives Omni-Man a rather thick moustache and a full-blown beard.
  • Considering what Rex is doing, future H.R. decisions are going of be the least of his worries.
    Rex: I hope this doesn't influence H.R. decisions in the future.
    Cecil: Are you kidding me!? You are so fired, you little shit!
  • Pot calling the kettle black.
    Allen: Is your superpower just never shutting up? (chuckle)
    Rex: Takes one to know one, dickhole!
  • According to Allen, all humans have double vision.
    Allen: So awesome that humans have two eyes. You can watch me kick your ass twice!
    Invincible: That's not how vision works, jackass. And you're not going to win.
  • Robot has an incredible comeback against Bulletproof's comment about his numerous names.
    Bulletproof: Robot, Rudy, Rex? You gotta kind of identity crisis don't you?
    Robot: A hundred other heroes have powers just like yours. Which of us has the crisis?
  • Battle Beast gets the wrong idea of what a leopard is.
    Powerplex: Get out of my way, you oversized snow leopard.
    Battle Beast: Leopard? Are these the unmatched warriors of your planet?
  • Lucan has a surprisingly witty comeback for a Viltrumite.
    Cecil: God, the mustaches are getting old. You people ever think about getting a new style?
    Lucan: How hypocritical. Hair like yours is out of fashion galaxy wide!
  • He does it again with Monster Girl and the tone of his voice implies he enjoyed coming up with it.
    Monster Girl: Hey, I heard about you. Holding-his-own-intestines-guy.
    Lucan: Ah, a human insult. And you must be dead in seconds girl.
  • Battle Beast is not one for cleanliness, it seems.
    Battle Beast: I will bathe in your blood and let it wash me clean.
    Bulletproof: Nah, nah. You’re supposed to use water. That’s why you smell so bad!
    • Bulletproof has a genuine tone of realization when he says it too, implying Battle Beast actually stinks.
  • Conquest’s famous line doesn’t quite take on someone like Rex.
    Conquest: Stand ready for my arrival, worm.
    Rex: Aw, you say that to all the girls?
  • Ella will not be going through the same song and dance that most women do with Rex.
    Rex: New girl! You want me to show you around or... no? Fight instead? Okay.
    Ella Mental: Yeah, I heard about how you 'show the girls around.' Not interested.
  • Powerplex is a sympathetic Anti-Villain that a lot of the heroes understand and even sympathize with his plight. Unfortunately for poor Scott, everyone also finds him too annoying and whiny to take seriously.
    Atom Eve: Before you start crying about any revenge schemes, remember I’m no damsel in distress!
    Dupli-Kate: Oh look, it’s Mister Blame Everyone Else. How’s that going?
    Allen: Why are Earth dudes so pissy? I didn’t do anything to you!
    Cecil: Come on, one track mind. Let’s get this over with.
    • Invincible is not helping himself look better in Scott’s eyes by going straight for the jugular.
      Invincible: You know I’m not part of your family, right? Isn’t that who you usually kill?
      Powerplex: You’re one to talk, murderer! You know what you’ve done!
      • Even Omni-Man and Monster Girl get in on the cruel natured ribbing.
        Omni-Man: You’re gonna kill me, like you killed your wife and kid?
        Powerplex: How… dare you talk about them?! HOW DARE YOU?!

        Monster Girl: Back off electricity boy, before you fry someone else you care about.
        Powerplex: How dare you mention that to me?! It’s not a joke!
    • Rex makes a note of Scott’s vigilante name.
      Rex: Powerplex? You sound like you sell solar panels.
      Powerplex: I don’t give a shit about a cool name. And neither will you.
      • Implying even Powerplex agrees with him.
    • Likewise, Rex is also not that sympathetic to his quest to kill Invincible.
      Rex: I know you’re looking for Invincible, but trust me, I’m way cuter.
      Powerplex: Are you making fun of me?! This is. Deadly! Serious!

      Powerplex: I have a mission to achieve. If you get in my way, I’ll get rid of you.
      Rex: Yeah, yeah, killing Invincible. We’ve all heard it a million times.
    • Attempts to avenge the Unopans on similar flawed logic hits a snag, as Allen points out.
      Powerplex: You failed to save your own people! You should pay!
      Allen: Uh, dude! That was before I was even born!
    • Any of Powerplex's dialogue where he is looking for Invincible can come across like he Failed a Spot Check if Invincible is present for the match, especially if he is on his team.
  • Beauty standards varies across the galaxies, and apparently where he’s from, Allen’s drop dead sexy.
    Rex: I know you’re an Alien, but do you have to look so fucking creepy?
    Allen: What?! I was on the cover of the Unopan Beefcakes Charity Calendar!
    • Considering that Unopans were nearly extinct by the time Allen was born, the fact that somewhere along the line, they recovered their population enough that they decided something as banal as what is essentially a sexy firemen calendar was something worth doing.
  • Allen Mirror Matches borders on full Screw Yourself and Distracted by My Own Sexy territory.
    P1!Allen: I’d hate to ruin a face that handsome but duty calls!
    P2!Allen: Damn right! And it’s my duty to look great and kick butt!

    P1!Allen: I’d want to be me too, but you need to tell me who you really are!
    P2!Allen: I’m the awesome yet humble hero, Allen The Alien. Who the fuck are you?
  • Invincible attempts to pull a Tastes Like Friendship with Allen. Allen admits it almost succeeds.
    Invincible: Last chance… we can settle this peacefully, go out for Burger Mart… what do you say?
    Allen: Don’t try to tempt me with your planet's tantalizing delicacies!
    • Though a conversation with Cecil reveals he later changed his mind. That, or he lied so he’d have an edge in the conversation.
      Cecil: Stay away from my planet and my people, Unopan.
      Allen: Gladly! Earth is a shithole and your food sucks rocks!
  • Certain phrases transcend galaxies. And Allen is all to happy to use them when applicable.
    Allen: On Unopa, we have this phrase, "stick up your ass". It means-
    Cecil: (Sounding beyond annoyed) Jesus. Shut up and attack me already, you moron.
  • While most of the intros are Badass Boasts, taunts or threats, one of Rex's responses to discovering his opponent is Conquest is...not quite as confident.
    Rex: Fuck! Conquest!? I'm about to shit my pants!
  • The only logic Rex sees in getting cloned is where there is none.
    Robot: I'm sorry, Rex... my mind in your body was just a logical choice.
    Rex: You cloned me so you could bone Monster Girl! There's nothing logical about it!
  • Battle Beast inadvertently calls Lucan fat in one of his intros.
    Battle Beast: Your midsection is larger than others of your kind. Are you as strong?
    Lucan: I am just as strong. But now I am angry!
  • Cecil does not hesitate to bring Universa to Earth's "power source".
    Universa: Are you the keeper of this world's power? Take me to it now!
    Cecil: Yeah, follow me. We keep it in a place called "the White Room."
  • Even Rex is aware of The Immortal's Memetic Loser status.
    Rex: Serious question here— have you ever won a fight? Or do you just keep dying?
    The Immortal: I've spent more time winning battles than the average lifespan.
  • Rex takes Immortal telling him that he should have never been considered for the Guardians as well as you could expect.
    The Immortal: Cecil should have never called you up from Teen Team. You're a child.
    Rex: Fuck you, you goddamn geriatric hypocrite.

    Story Mode 
  • Ella Mental's reaction to meeting Invincible for the first time. They had to incorporate the Running Gag in somehow.
    Ella Mental: Oh my god, you're-
    [Title Card]
  • The meta humor of the fighting game being about...a fighting game, due to everyone under the Technicians' control effectively being thrown into situations that are an excuse to provoke fights.
  • Upon snapping Cecil out of his trance (read: punching him in the torso), Rex immediately realizes what he did and pleads for Cecil to not fire him.
  • Shortly after being freed and caught up to speed on the situation, Lucan confidently gives the solution: Just break out of course! He flies into the walls of the Kinetic Chamber as everyone yells for him, only for him to bounce harmlessly off the wall. As Invincible explains, that was something they already tried.
  • While an awesome moment for Mark, him attacking the fake Cecil without explaining to everyone what he figured out until after the battle. To most of the group, Mark just started attacking their boss for no reason.
  • While the Technicians turning into clones of the Viltrumites is a dramatic moment, the fact that the still have their regular voice while in disguise comes off as unintentionally silly.
    • During the battles against them, the voices carry over to gameplay. The lines do not change to reflect the voices. It ends up coming across as the Technicians really getting into roleplaying as the villains.
    • The fact that they were able to mimic Cecil’s voice fine while imitating him, but didn’t even try with the Viltrumites. Granted, doing so would not matter since their covers already been blown, but still amusing to notice.

     Other 
  • The loading screens include chibified versions of the cast doing some silly stuff. Enough of an amusing distraction while waiting for the game to load. Such stuff includes:
    • Some of Invincible’s training from the season 3 teaser such as him lifting weights, doing cardio, and Cecil tapping in his shoulder before teleporting behind him and slapping him.
    • Battle Beast beating Invincible senseless. Even in chibi form, poor dude can’t catch a break.
    • Cecil shaking his head. Another has him teleport away. He just looks like he hates how he looks.
    • Rex-Splode making a heart symbol with his hands. Besides the fact he’s one of the last people you’d expect to make such a gesture, the look on his face implies his doing this to hit on someone.
    • Speaking of heart symbols, Ella makes one out of fire.
    • Rex-Splode simply doing the finger guns.
    • Atom Eve using her powers to try on different clothes.
    • Omni-Man doing the Think! Pose.
    • Omni-Man wide-eyed and panting after killing the guardians? Grim and tragic. Omni-Man wide-eyed and panting after killing the Guardians in chibi form? Morbidly goofy.
    • Battle Beast roaring. Except, because of the chibi art style, it looks more like he’s aggressively meowing.
    • Battle Beast standing victoriously while being showered in blood. An otherwise grizzly yet epic sight makes him look like a downright gremlin in chibi form.
    • Finally, Invincible simply crying. Poor guy.
  • When selecting versus, Allen and Atom Eve can be seen arm wrestling… with Atom Eve using her constructs to go up against him.
    • The extras menu has Rex reading a Seance Dog comic with a bored expression. Nothing odd about that. Then you remember that Rex likes reading home decorating magazines. You get hit with the hilarious implication that Rex of all people would find a comic boring in comparison.
  • An incentive for ranking up is new borders to commemorate your new rank. What’s the border you get for reaching Guardians Of The Globe, the highest rank? A border made out of the body parts of the original guardians.
  • Just the fact that for some reason, every Viltrumite, including Omni-Man’s Viltrum uniform, has an unlockable pink color palette. Considering how some of them call out Atom Eve's usage of pink…
  • Shortly after Cecil’s reveal, fans and players quickly swarmed to the Season 3 premiere, where Cecil revealed the cost for each of his teleports is “Higher Then The Domestic Output Of Liechtenstein”. Considering that Liechtensteins GDP was 8.58 Billion USD in 2025 and how much Cecil teleports in gameplay, memes quickly were made about how badly he’s ruining the US’ economy to get a meaty combo going.
    • The Official Invincible VS account recognized the meme and released a separate video detailing how much one combo would cost. The answer? $60.640 Billion Dollars.
    • One of the titles you can unlock for mastering Cecil is simply The Domestic Output Of Liechtenstein.
    • Then, much like with the Open Beta, a statistics sheet for the game's first week since launch was released with one of the listed statistics being Cecil's taxpayer bill. It amounted to $6.59 Quadrillion Dollars.
  • One of Rex Splode's DLC skins is just him in a towel, and the promotional material decides to milk the Fanservice for all its worth.
  • The Immortal's infamous reputation of a jobber follows him into Invincible VS, as the thumbnail for his gameplay trailer on release was just him lying dead on the ground.
