This one isn't all that obscure (to me anyway) but it really struck me when I read it. If you've never talked to the Umgah before they become controlled you can ask them if they know any good jokes. This is the response:
JOKE. YES. JOKE. HERE. IS. JOKE. WHEN. IS. A. SLAVE. NOT. A. SLAVE. ANSWER. WHEN. HE. IS. A. SLAVE. MASTER.
Very telling when you consider who it is that's controlling the Umgah.
I only had this come up once during my conversations with the Melnorme, but I found it hilarious :
"This very morning, I was just saying to subordinate Ochre `Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum! I smell the feet of a Hu-Hu-Man!' We laughed and laughed. What a synchronicity!"
Although the planet (don't remember name)scene would've been cool. And the launch system, too.
...Kathmandu?

I cannot believe what I have just heard. Captain, you are a heinous SLAVE-TRADER! Your exchanges with the Druuge have become a horror story throughout the starbase! If anyone here is stupid enough to join your crew, I expect the RU cost will be skyhigh. If you weren't our only hope for freedom, Captain I'd kill you where you stand. As it is, expect me to bring charges against you when this is all over.
That would have to be the most obscure thing I'd ever encounter in my gameplay--in fact I don't think I've actually encountered it; as evil as I am, I can't stomach the idea of selling out my own race. Other races, on the other hand....
