I had the same issues. Your post is nearly a carbon copy of my own, and the responses you're receiving now are somewhat the same that I got back then.I had a a couple of players who were hell bent on making every reference from MP, the Simpsons, Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings ("Meat's back on the menu boys!") and although I could certainly put up with most of it, I drew the line when it became the only responses I would receive. The fun for me ended so I unfortunately had to end the game in it's entirety and start from scratch with a new group. And although they too quoted MP and all of the others, it was less so. It was nice to role play again.My situation was extreme while I think yours is probably more tolerable. Don't suck the fun from the group with negative reinforcement. I would simply not respond to them and wait for them to settle down.Another way to deal is to have a chat session before you start play. Talk about work, what you all did during the week, tell jokes, talk about movies, books, other RPG systems, miniatures, model building or whatever it takes to get it out of their system. Once they get a chance to make their jokes and relax, then they may be more apt to settle down and role play.I don't know, it might or might nor work.</blockquote>
