[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5307880, member: 19675"] Last year, my PC was on point and rolled a 10 for his Spot check, telling the party the path ahead "Looks clear." The party advanced and was jumped by a foe that we took down quickly, after which my PC was asked to scout the way again, and again checked the path ahead. After rolling a 9, he declared the path ahead "Looks clear"- all an accidental re-enactment of a scene from[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88vlVe8CBPY"] [B][I]Pitch Black[/I][/B][/ame] After the last syllable was pronounced, smirks turned to guffaws for the next 5 minutes. But sometimes you want to deliberately interject a bit of humor into the game, and you play a wiseass PC, or you look for an opportunity for a pun, a funny movie quote or some such. Sometimes, though, you come up with a line you KNOW will make your buddies laugh...and have no way to set it up. For instance, I have always wanted to tell a NPC scrutinizing the party that "These aren't the Druids you're looking for." Anyone else have a one-liner or pun you haven't been able to deliver?
