From the review:
Nauseatingly sweet content should have no place in the Mortal Kombat series, but developer Probe saw it fit to include a more compassionate way to cap off Mortal Kombat II's bone-crunching violence: new "friendships." Because nothing says "Hey, sorry about the broken jaw, concussion and life-altering trauma and injuries" like creating a magical rainbow with your hands.

Those ironic finishing moves are present in the actual arcade game. I can understand the presence of the friendship moves, if only for Midway saying something akin to "take that, you stupid moral guardians". But the "babalities"? Those are just idiotic -- and just saying "babality" just sounds putrid.
