Game stopping events... (funny)

[PrinceZane]

Mmk. I don't know if there's a humor thread going or not, but I'm gonna make one (If there is let me know and we can just transfer this there or whatever)...

Topic here: Things that someone has said/done that pulled the gears to a grinding halt and everyone erupting in laughter.

This one happened not long ago, feel free to share any and all experiences:

Characters involved - Bard (named Uri "You-re") and Rogue (Zane - 3 guesses who that is..)

Zane goes out for a bit to get some fresh air and a little scouting. Upon returning to the mansion the wizard made knocks on the door......
Zane - *Knock knock*
Uri - Who's there?
Zane - Uri...
Uri - *immediately* Uri who!?
Zane - Uri Tarded, now open the door or I'm dropping you like a bad habit...

A few seconds went by after the comment and the entire room erupted in laughter. And Uri became self conscious. Way to go me with my mighty Cha of 10!

Con game of Proton High School (high school supers). Jack Quinn (the insufferably virtuous and powerful class president) and his arch-nemesis Horatio Hiss (mentalist and all around bad-boy) had been going at it for a good long while when someone decided to introduce Lady Hiss (Horatio's mother) as a character.

I was playing Horatio, and I thought I was ready for anything... prepared to fend off embarrassment or unreasonable demands or parental bullying.

I wasn't ready.

The player said "Lady Hiss slinks sexily out of the limousine and looks over the school-yard, mid-brawl. 'Rati, darling,' she says (looking at Horatio), 'who is that scrumptious specimen?' (looking at Jack) 'I simply must have him!' "

And then the player put down the index card upon which he had written: "Goal: Take Jack Quinn as her slave." Everybody but Chris (playing Jack) and myself went into absolute hysterics. Chris and I just looked at each other with naked, unrestrained fear in our eyes. It was... so horrific... on so many levels. It was fully sixty seconds before I could even manage to desperately stammer "M-m-m-m-MOTHER!"

In a game with two players, one a fighter type and the other a jester (2e kits). They enter a banquet hall to be surprised by the BBEG (a la Darth Vader from the scene in Empire Strikes Back). Before I could begin the BBEG's monologue, the guy playing the jesters blurts out, "I drop my pants and sit in the pudding!"

This caught me, the other player, and my wife who was in the kitchen and listening completely off-guard. We laughed for a good 5 minutes, and then spend another couple minutes wheezing, wiping eyes, and trying to get the game back on track.

Here are some past threads of the same vein.

Just recently...

The party are all dwarves, with the exception of one xeph who's filling in for a dwarf lost in the line of duty, and they're exploring the Whispering Cairn. Or rather, they're sleeping off the last expedition in their rundown old shack...

Me (GM): You awake to the sun streaming in through the cracks between the boarded up windows, and the sound of birdsong, which abruptly stops as a bird falls through the ceiling into the room.
Thorin: I pick up my warhammer and slam the bird. "Moradin provides!"

And, for whatever reason, this struck all of us as the height of comedy. I think it was all of the caffiene, but it took five minutes to get back on track.

Demiurge out.

Hmmm... so it seems I've been foiled. Bah!

Anyway, our group is known for a good gag at least 2 per week, unfortunate my mind is lacking today, as I think of them I'll keep adding. Feel free for anyone else to post or whatever...

In a recent campaign we were playing in medievel Europe. The DM had forgotten a map of Berlin that he needed for the session. As he is searching, he asks, "Berlin is bisected by a river, right?"

one of the players without missing a beat replied, "No... that was a wall..."

Very funny.. went onto the DM screen on our quotes that live forever.

Hmm... while reading some of the old posts reminded me of a time...

Same chars...

My halfling rogue has an interesting background. The main highlights are paranoid schiz, clepto, and "hates anything that seems 'right'" (basically, if everything is in order and the way it should be, it's not right and he has to "fix" it). And he's very greedy (read "emphasis on the clepto").

Well, mayor of town X asked what our fee would be for helping the city with Y problem. Gold was talked about. As was the resurrection of the wizards stalker, something with the fighter and the fighter's guild, the cleric wanted a new deity, and I wanted the mayor's chair.

Well, he was reluctant to give up his char, but soon after I got it. I put it in my house with all my other collections (one day i'll describe it, pretty sexy to the imagination...). Well, we go back to the mayor's place a week later when we're done, and he's got another chair. I demand for it and he says he simply had another made. So I do a disable device on it. I successfully dismember the legs of the chair to collapse whenever the next person sits on it, but the mayor succeeded his spot. As he took a breath to call the guards, my savior (aka our elite wizard) casts a suggestion spell on the mayor to "just sit and calm down, and celebrate our recent victory"

... so the mayor fails his save... smiles, hails us for our victory, and collapses to the floor. By this point my char is sprinting out the door, tumbling down the stairs fleeing back home, cackling the whole way (and somehow manage to SoHand the mayors butler's money pouch).

Good times... good times...

In a Vamp LARP I was playing in, I came up with a character who had been brainwashed into thinking he was living in the Star Wars universe (I actually came up with a pretty good backstory for why this happened). The character considered himself to be Luke Skywalker. Upon his arrival to the city and introducing himself as Luke Skywalker, another one of the PCs introduced himself as Chewbacca. He then went around introducing me to all of the other PCs, giving each one of them a different character name from the movies. From then on, I referred to the PCs by their Star Wars name.

An amusing, potentially annoying, schtick, but I was careful to not to push it too much. Casual references to this or that. But, I did make it a point to refer to everybody by their Star Wars name when I remembered.

One night, the player playing "Chewy" was dealing with something or other in game, making him deeply introspective, forlorn or whatever. Basically, he walked into the scene with a "Don't Screw With Me" face. I walked up to him and said in a perfectly innocent, wide-eyed way "What's wrong Chewy?". The player couldn't keep a straight face, nor could anybody else who heard. Froze the game up for probably 15 or 20 minutes while everybody was laughing their heads off.

Not so much stopping as interrupting.
We were playing our weekly game at the University in the meeting room we always use. When suddenly we hear a loud shout "ALRIGHT EVERYBODY PUT YOUR WALLETS, JEWELERY, WATCHES, iPODS AND (etc) ON THE TABLE!"
We all snap to attention and lock the door. for 10 minutes we're all umming and arring. Turns out some drama students were practicing but failed to alert those in the local vicinity.




So when we told the police what happened we all had a little laugh. Thats right, we called them right away and I am still annoyed by drama students.
