the funniest thing in a game

[starlifter]

To me, one of the funniest things in gaming is to play TFC (Team Fortress Classic, a Half Life FPS online), and play Medic, and use your medikit to "infect" your opponents with the Virus!!! Dying people spread the disease to each other, and rushinto a respawn room to save their worthless newbie hides, and then infect all their respawning (and 100% healthy!) teammates!!!! It is soooo funny to stand outside the doors and listen to the coughing, sputtering, and dying.... and read the complaints of teammates to "GET THE *^#@$ OUT OF HERE, YOU *&%*@ ". Totally gut busting.

PS, I'm actaully a great TFC medic, but have not played in over a year, hehe....

The monkey island series of games is probably one of the funniest ever. So many quotable lines and hilarious situations. And the sequels have actually been better than their predecessors, something so very rarely seen.

Such a hilarious story and so many reuseable quotes have not ever been in a game since.

Aaaah, yes.
When we were young, life was so beautiful...

I have to agree with Lucky. Zak McKraken (and the Alien Mindbenders) was probably the funniest of the LucasFilm Games. Maniac Mansion (the prequel to Day of the Tentacle) was hilarious also. Actually, being able to play Maniac Mansion in the Middle of the DOTT was funny
I also liked the Monkey Island Series.

I see one of you guys said BG2. I have to agree. BG1 and BG2 where just great. In one word Minsk.

"He who lives by the Sword,
Lives a very long time."

Boo is the Best part.

Long live insane barbarians.

Hoagie's back in time, and he suggests Betsy Ross sew a flag "with a broad in a leather bikini swingin' a battle axe"

 

[Cilpot]

The insult-swordfight in monkey island 1 is hillarious!

Some Quotes from the Monkey Island series:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swordsman: You fight like a dairy farmer.
Guybrush Threepwood: How appropriate, you fight like a cow.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cabana Boy: Let me see your membership card and I'll let you through!
Guybrush: You don't need to see my identification.
Cabana Boy: I don't need to see your identification.
Guybrush: I'm not the pirate you're looking for.
Cabana Boy: You're not the pirate I'm looking for.
Guybrush: I can go about my business.
Cabana Boy: You can go about your business.
Guybrush: Move along.
Cabana Boy: Move along, move along... hey! Your mind tricks won't work on me, boy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guybrush: What's your name?
Slappy Cromwell: Cromwell, Slappy Cromwell. It's not my real name actually. My agent told me my given name just didn't have star quality.
Guybrush: What was your given name?
Slappy Cromwell: Rex Fortune, Adventure Seeker.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edward Van Helgen: What! You shot my banjo!
Guybrush Threepwood: You can't be sure of that. That shot may have come from the grassy knoll.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elaine Marley: You know... I don't think my father would approve of me dating the undead, and you're probably too nice a zombie-pirate for me anyway. Let's just be friends instead.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guybrush Threepwood: How can you see without eyeballs?
Murray: How can you walk around without a brain? Some things no one can answer.

 

[TubaGuy]

Who could forget Murray the talking skull. He was hillarious. I might have to dust off Monkey Island 3 and 4 and give them another run through.

 

[ColdWizard]

Minsk from BG2:

I trust those who pray on children no farther than they can be thrown, even if I manage to throw them pretty far, and throw them I shall!

What?! Boo is outraged! See his fury! It's small, so look close. Trust me, it's there.

I will crush your foes into little foe-shaped chunky bits!

etc.

Agreed. I found it hysterical the first time I played Warcraft and kept clicking on the unit until he says "Why do you keep touching me" as if you're queer or something. (in the words of Seinfeld "not that there's anything wrong with that")

 

[omichyron]

Even the normal Warcraft or Warcraft 2 quotes are pretty funny sometimes. "ootag" "glorog" etc.

 

[Pillager]

Definitely Zak McKraken (sp.)

Aaahhh, happy days - PC Speakers, having the choice between CGA, EGA, or sometimes even VGA graphics, full games on one floppy, etc.

While playing Microsoft Combat Simulator II, I was caught off guard on a training mission while I was learning to take off. I had pretty much mastered taking off, and I was just flying around a bit, when I fired my guns (because I like the sound! ) and was surprised to hear the instructor over the radio saying, "What the heck are you shooting at!"

Then I tried a training mission for the Japanese and was delighted to hear the guy on the radio speaking Japanese.

 

[omichyron]

I always found the game "Dark Omen" to be funny. I haven't played it for ages so I can no longer quote it word for word, but the scene where the king's wizard (or archmage, or whatever he is) is describing being attacked by that book is halarious. The flagellents are pretty funny too when describing the goblins watching them from the forest: "evil eyes..... EVIL EYES" And those ogres that tag along later are somewhat amusing

 

[scorch]

on WC3, the grunts say 'don't touch me there', 'im not that sort of orc' and stuff.


if you convert your peasents in to militia, they say 'alright, here i goto die'


theres so many goodies in it.

Once I was playing WIN ME and it said "General Protection Fault" I'm thought "what is it protecting thats so important" It did it another million times, so drove to chicago and dropped of the top of the sears tower. I looked down and while it was falling the screan said, General protection fault.

when i was playing close combat 3 against my little brother and was hiding german flame tanks all over the map. in fact, i had nothing else than those small flame tanks. then he came with his troops and su-155:s and [plasma]

 

[andyo]

I always liked the quotes in RTCW - when you sneak up on them in some levels, you hear them alking about the most bizzar things - my favorite was one level if you sneak u on them you hear two guys arguing about what wire to cut and them BAAAAMMMM

 

[Chris85]

Grand Theft Auto 3 has to be the funniest game ever made. Listening to the chatterbox, running over people, and picking up prostitutes are the most hillarious things i've seen in a video game. The new Spiderman game on the Gamecube is also pretty freakin' hillarious.
