When the DM says "You see a Beholder"
An experienced player will rush forward and give it a big ol' hug because it couldn't possibly be a real beholder.

When the DM says "It looks like you could easily make the jump, just don't roll a 1."
The new player picks up their d20.
The experienced player says "Whoa back up there sparky. We make camp.". The following morning they memorise Wall of Stone and fabricate a bridge. Just to be safe side they ask the new player to walk over it first.

Lost in Dark Sun
Honest to goodness, this actually happened at my last session. The party were fighting this dragon, and in the previous round the Eldritch Knight had thrown his dust of dryness into the dragon's mouth.
The Eldritch Knight and Lore Bard are new players, while the Land Druid and Thief Rogue have played 5e before.
EK Fighter: I want to retrieve that pellet.
Thief Rogue: Are you crazy!? He didn't recharge his breath weapon this round!
Land Druid: Yeah, and I've already lost one death save over here! Just kill it!
EK Fighter: But if I get that pellet back . . .
DM (me): *clears throat* Yeah, um, let me read you the disclaimer in the Player's Handbook. Wizards of the Coast is not responsible for the consequences of splitting up the party, sticking appendages in the mouth of a leering green devil face, storming the feast hall of a hill giant steading, angering a dragon of any variety, or saying yes when the DM asks "are you really sure?"
*everyone bursts out laughing*
Lore Bard: *smacks the table* best moment of the night!
Land Druid: 40 years I've been playing this game, and that's the first time I've seen the DM read the disclaimer aloud!
EK Fighter: My mistake. Okay! I'm gonna hit this thing!
