Hands-down funniest thing I've ever heard in a game:
Our party had stealthily crept into a cult lair where a horrible sacrifice of babies to some demon was being performed. The evil in the air was palpable.
We closed to within striking range of the vile cultists, and struck!
The cult leader, an imposing hooded figure who radiated evil said, in the GM's best dead-serious, booming voice:
"YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR IMPOTENCE!!!"
It took at least half an hour to restore order to the gaming table.
On that note, one of my first 3E characters was a half-orc fighter/barb, with a dire flail. So anyway, we're in the Keep on the Borderlands (converted from the old OD&D module), and we're fighting an ooze of some sort. Barbarian hits the ooze, and one of the flail balls gets dissolved. He flips the flail around, and hits it with the other ball. At the end of the combat, I ask the DM what condition my flail is in.
DM: "Oh, it's got all this slime and gunk on it."
Me: "UGH! I'VE GOT SLIME ALL OVER MY BALLS!"
(group goes nuts)
Me: "... LET ME REPHRASE THAT!"
(group goes nuts some more)

Then there was the time we were in the Arteeteetee'o'ee'ee, and we busted down a door to find a rather indignant water mephit. The mephit didn't take kindly to having a bunch of rowdy adventurers bust down its door, and spit acid in my face for 4 points of damage. My blade-dancer wannabe took great offense at this, drew her sword, and criticalled the hapless, three-foot-tall, 3HD mephit for 39 points of damage.
As I said in my
writeup, "that will teach him to spit in my face."
Actually, there are too many funny things that happened in that session to relate here. Go check out that URL! It's all true, I swear.
