Guild Wars 2

For me, the most hilarious moment after knowing a little about Destiny’s Edge is when you first properly go to Lion’s Arch, and as you go up the stairs, you see a bunch of kids of all races playing with each showing, showing how racially diverse Lion’s Arch is.

Then you stop to listen to the kids and realise they’re roleplaying as Destiny’s Edge, and picking roles… and the charr kid goes “I’m Logan, and I’m gonna run away.”

Total spit-out-drink moment there. XD

Also, after their argument and they all walk away in different directions… HEY EIR! YOU FORGOT YOUR DOG! Maybe it’s a bug or something, but Garm just stays there. XD

During a part of the Asura personal story, Mr. Sparkles says something like, “Prepare to don the behind hat,”. It is one of the funniest things I’ve heard in the game’s dialogue.

The funniest thing in personal story are ALL quests with your Priory mentor Sieran (lvl20-40 quests). She is the most cheerful, excited, curious, lively character ever.

2nd funniest thing is letter from The Magnificent Captain Jayne (“Lucky you!”) you receive/steal during one of Order of Whispers missions.

Magister Sieran… at first I was annoyed, but I’m starting to like the over-enthusiastic sylvari x’D
Tybalt is great fun too

“the mission received a hiccup.”
“A hiccup!? More like a tuberculosis!” -Rytlock Brimstone

Tybalt turning into Demi:
“Burn me, I’m a human girl! Whoa, I’ve got two hands and some lovely…apples.”
subtile Tybalt… Very subtile… x’D

The Sting… when you set up a trap for the White Mantle.

I love Logan.

Wasn’t a fan of this twist.

Can’t recall the name of the mission atm, but it’s one of the first orders quests where you launch a mini-golem and remote control it to lay out mines and then taunt the enemy into them. First of all, the whole description of the mission that the npc gives is hilarious. Then, that part when the mini-golem waves his arms and makes his taunting sound cracks me up.

ROFLOL! love it.

This bit was genuinely funny.

But this bit was unintentionally funny, because Trahearne is such a fey, pseudo-Shakespearian flouncer.

from a choice at Character Creation my Norn character had a mission where he had to help fix what he had done after getting terriblely drunk with a Charr and they did stupid things like driveing around a Charr Military Weapon of War. And a witness saw my Norn and the Charr and quoted what my character said (In my signature below my message i quote what my character said while Drunk) and the Charr commented on remembering the tree being stupid.

I love what my character said, they probly ran into a tree!

‘Victorificness’. I loled during that whole exchange

Heh, yes, that got a laugh out of me too since I can’t say I care for the guy either.

Also, after their argument and they all walk away in different directions… HEY EIR! YOU FORGOT YOUR DOG! Maybe it’s a bug or something, but Garm just stays there. XD

That combined with the absolutely weird facial expression that the wolves have in this game gave me the impression that he was as unamused by the brouhaha of brainless brats as I was. Hey Garm, wanna tag along and be my buddy instead?

The best (and intentional) humor value so far was in the “passed out at the moot” norn story arc. That is just a hoot, at least early on — it gets more serious later, but your drinking buddy can still be counted on for the occasional funny line. He’s in sooo much trouble and he knows it. And yet, when it’s all over, there’s still a bit of a “hey let’s do it again” kind of banter between him and you.

I was also amused by how Sieran (the Durmand Priory mentor) got berated by her boss for her flakiness. Normally I don’t like the arrogant asura babble, but in this case it was deserved. He has some amusing expressions/insults that play on her being a plant.

@Xriah: now imagine doing that scene with a bleedin’ sylvari. As in, popped out of the Pale Tree’s very own pod. You go from being her treasured and trusted child with a crucial mission (the early, cultural story-arcs) to Generic Featureless Stranger whom even your own mother doesn’t recognize. It’s a serious game-killer for me.

So punny it’s awesome

Wasn’t a fan of this twist.

It got worse:
Traherne: I will go with you. Our fates are bound together and from this day forward we fight as one.

Me: Fight as one? Does that mean we’re married now? Noooooooo….

Here’s another one from my norn warrior. I got to turn into a minotaur and so had to pretend to be one as the sons of svanir were rounding me into the pen with the real minotaurs.

Focksbot.6798:

Really, when I was playing my sylvari I wanted to say, “Well Mom, I guess I know who’s your favorite son… I’ll be sure and visit you in the old tree home… yeah…”

@Jennytheturtle: That cracked me up too.

This and pretty much everything Tybalt related. By far my favorite character in the game. I kept laughing out loud and people would look at me like I was crazy.

I also love the part in the sylvari mission where you have to drug the gladiator to get back Caladbog, and you end up drinking some of the hallucinogen yourself, and in the end start going as loony as the dude in the arena. Capped it off at the end when your Order of Whispers contact was all “Hmmm, stronger than we thought.”

My biggest laugh out loud moment was unfortunately unintentional.

We’d just cleansed the Source of Orr, and as the beautiful cinematic was winding to its close, at the moment when we saw the pure flowing fountain that represented the result of so much hard work and sacrifice…

Trahearne’s random dialog triggered, and he loudly announced over the cinematic, “Moving on!”

Wow, way to kill the mood. Glad you care so much about this mission, Trahearne. :P

I didn’t chose particularly funny story options, but some things out in the open world are hilarious. For example, one of my favourites was when the harpy pheromone potion had led to a kidnapping, and an NPC asked something along the lines of, “Who would buy a product that gives you harpies?”

No doubt, I just had a little sad that ole Mom acted like she didn’t even recognize me during that part.

“Gorr’s oh so convenient death is merely a ruse. But whose ruse? We need more clues.”
“Keep that up and I’ll give you a bruise, lose…er.”

It was so silly when I got to this part.

Well you know what Caithe said to Cadeyrn, when the Pale Tree wouldn’t listen to him, she said he wasn’t First Born so why should she? Whats our sylvari characters 20th born, 200th? 2000th?

Anything with Tybalt in it.

Retaking claw island, when trahearne first commands the 3 orders. Once we start moving out, he randomly comments “this won’t end well” as the army continues marching forward with us still standing behind.

Oh man, I can’t breathe. <applause>

Is Carys supposed to make a chainsaw noise because I broke out laughing when I first saw her run into a bunch of risen revving a chainsaw.

It makes me sad knowing I’m never going to get to play through all the possible story lines and thus going to miss so much.. QQ

The Whispers quest with the pirates, with Tybalt pretending to be one of them, and setting up a drinking game.

The Asura Dynamics path, Zojja “This lab has everything you need. Plus, it’s not mine, so I don’t care if you break anything”

In the Charr Flame Shaman father path : Rytlock’s “That was too much fun to stop now. Here – I’ll hold him up, you kill him again!”

Besides ‘have at you, leafy!’ which is now in my gaming vocabulary and ‘lovely apples’ (argh, I miss Tybalt) there’s one other….

…the conversation between the two Sons of Svanir guarding the pen in the Minotaur story. I just about died when I realized one was giving a half-serious argument for bestiality. “They’re so warm…and fluffy..and they smell nice. And we don’t allow women in here, so how are we going to continue our lines?” I could just imagine the side-eye his partner was giving him when he picked up what the man was saying.

I found the whole part about the two asura lovers that turned into golems particularly funny, and weird and kind of cute. Im hoping I’ll see them again in some part of an expanded storyline.

Agree on everything tybalt related, also the drugging the gladiator part in the order part of the sylvari storyline. Hilarious.

Ninth Requiem.3250:

In the Charr Flame Shaman father path : Rytlock’s “That was too much fun to stop now. Here – I’ll hold him up, you kill him again!”

Where does that come up? I chose to ambush the badguys at their lair to interrupt their ritual rather than warn the Citadel, so I guess that’s why I missed it?

It might be repeated but I didn’t do the flame shaman path and I remember that line. I believe it is from the last mission of the honourable soldier storyline.

From the Drunk at the Moot quest line. I wish these guys would come back.

This line is from the last mission of the Ash Legion storyline.

The Gear warband reappeared in my personal story on Orr.

I find hilarious every mission with Galina Edgecrusher and Snarl Backdraft. They have hilarious dialogues, especially between each other.

Total spit-out-drink moment there. XD

Also, after their argument and they all walk away in different directions… HEY EIR! YOU FORGOT YOUR DOG! Maybe it’s a bug or something, but Garm just stays there. XD

This was the one piece of sheer brilliance in the entire personal story.

Interestingly this also marks the high point for the personal storyline because the unnecessary deviation into the pointless organization part that occurs imeddiately after this marks the beginning of the lowest point in the personal storyline.

One of my personal favourites:

Just did a story step on the loyal soldier father storyline, and there’s a character that’s afraid of ghost cows, which do exist.

The Grawl comparing their various gods in that racial sympathy storyline was funny. Demmi Beetlestone: “Now I know why it’s called the Order of Whispers. Nobody would brag about this plan.” The “Blacked Out” during a moot Norn personal storyline. Anything involving your friend Lord Faren in the human noble personal storyline. Several parts of Asuran Statics storyline: from the Snaff prize: “If entries that nearly killed us all were disqualified, it’d be a pretty lonely contest.” During the atmospheric invention storyline, Zojja says something along the line of if he embarrasses the Council, or even if he only kills a few of them, the result would be chaos. If your sparring partner in the Charr storyline is Reeva, she is always good for laughs. The Snarl and Galina dynamic is entertaining in the Iron Legion storyline and the Vigil storyline.

Also, in the Quaggan personal storyline: Quaggan, sounding personally hurt and insulted: “The Jotun are Foo, and won’t share with Quaggan” You: “The Jotun are Foo, alright.”

JohnLShannonhouse.1820:

Also, in the Quaggan personal storyline: Quaggan, sounding personally hurt and insulted: “The Jotun are Foo, and won’t share with Quaggan” You: “The Jotun are Foo, alright.”

Crap, I should have gotten the Quaggan! Dang!

Cowrex.9564:

Crap, I should have gotten the Quaggan! Dang!

When given a choice, ALWAYS choose Quaggan.

Except the quaggan are slow-moving melees that tend to walk back and forth inside AoE during the mission where they “help” you. The hylek were okay, the grawl kicked butt and the skritt ripped the risen to shreds. The grawl arc was pretty funny, too, listening to grawl argue about whose god was greater.

Aw man. I’m almost to 80, but I have a terrible memory when it comes to quotes!

But a lot of these I do remember, and I have laughed out loud on so many occasions XD

ANet, you guys are brilliant.

Also favorite moments are almost anything involving Elli, just because she reminds me of the fox demon announcer from the Dark Tournament arc of Yu Yu Hakusho.

priory questline (making the shadow shard):
sieran: “if this works we’ll have a perfect containment method”
sieran: “if not we’ll be lost in shadow forever, ok, let’s begin” starts
you: “wait, what?”

priory questline (making the shadow shard, about 2.5 seconds after the previous):
gixx: “WHAT ON TYRIA ARE YOU DOING!?!”
sieran: “don’t worry gixx, all the theories made sense”
gixx: “SENSE!?! YOU CAN’T APPLY SENSE TO TECHNOLOGY!”
gixx: “you, novice, protect me while I make this make less sense!”

whispers questline (meeting tybalt):
you: “hi, are you my contact with the order of whispers?”
tybalt: “GAH NOT OUT LOUD! what part of ‘secret society’ do you not understand?”

whispers questline (locating demmi):
tybalt: “Demmi’s been kidnapped by pirates! cool! … I mean interesting”

whispers questline (the drinking contest):
announcer: “it’s everyone’s favorite cheap date: one drink dan!”

after claw island (priory):
gixx: “ok, nobody move, or bad thigngs will happen”
magister: “sir I don’t feel too…” explodes
gixx: “what did I just say?!?”

after claw island (priory):
gixx: “well done, you channeled the human god of mass murder without turning into a divine blood-crazed psychopath”
you: “what?”
gixx: “oh, right, I forgot to mention that”

that’s all I have for now, after claw island things get a lot more serious

Small pink fleshlings…. that one made me laugh so hard the first time XD …
The missions with Cai were actually pretty amusing.

This exchange:

Tybalt: “Yarr and rarr and blimey, matey! How’s about you let us fellow pirates through? Avast, and bosun the prow-cap, sailor!”

Jackdaw Jailer: “Who did you say you were again, fella?”

Tybalt: “I’m Two-Tibs Awhisker, and this is Bloodcovered Backstabbin’ Blackjack the Blade. Yarr. Raise the crow’s foot and rope down the jib-jabber-gabber…thingy…”

Jackdaw Jailer: “You’re kidding. Mates! We’ve got trespassers! Shank ’em!”

He should’ve said his last name was Threepwood. That would’ve fooled them for sure.

Two words: GHOST COWS.

The sheer deadpan disbelief the male charr PC delivers his comment in the quest just sells the entire thing.
