4. Doom Series

The Doom series has often utilised witty titles when naming difficult options, the most popular of which being "Hurt me plenty" and "Thou Art a Smitemeister" which have been so popular that they've taken on a life of their own.

Surprisingly however, the less popular titles are the best ones, and they're mostly attributed to the easier difficulties. They range from "Hey, Not so Rough!" and "I'm too young to die", to "Thou Needeth a Wet-Nurse", "Yellowbellies-R-Us", and my personal favourite, "Be Gentle". The trend seems to have caught on, seeing as how everything from Wolfenstein to Ratchet & Clank has borrowed the idea since, giving their difficulty settings titles like "Can I play Daddy?", and "Coach-potatoe".
