History Funny / RuneScape

* Entering a certain spot in Tarddiad after having unlocked "the Ravensworn" title will spawn Bran, a crystal raven. The funny part is that, [[GoodBadBugs as long as you don't interact with this raven, you can keep spawning it repeatedly]], which can result in [[https://runescape.wiki/images/Bran_%28multiple%29.png?b2455 this]].

-->'''Player''': My world is an ocean of paaaain...

-->'''Ozan''': Dung kalphites... [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why did it have to be dung kalphites?]]

* [[TheScrappy Yelps]] during the Mighty Falls. Turn on the sound so you can hear his voice, which is both annoying and endearing at the same time. [[ThatOneAttack This isn't quite so funny if you're the one playing the quest]].

* [[ObfuscatingStupidity Traiborn]] summoning the Thingummywut. It also doubles as a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Traiborn. what makes this funny? Before doing the Love Story quest, listen to what Traiborn says about Thingummywuts...then watch the cutscene. It is glorious. And really freaking huge.

** To wit, by the time you get to the third person in the list of people you need to speak to about summoning Big Blue, the World Guardian is at their wit's end, ''[[RantInducingSlight raging]]'' at the fact that '''yet again''' are having to do tiny little favours for people instead of them doing their favour first, because, y'know, the fate of the damn '''''MULTIVERSE''''' is at stake!

** [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Acting Guildmaster Reiniger]] gets to "just be Lottie" at the party for about 2 minutes before the player [[WeNeedADistraction causes a distraction]] with a BarBrawl, starting with Reiniger's fancy dress being ruined by glass shards while [[NothingIsFunnier the commotion can only be heard but not seen]].

* The well-deserved TakeThat to [[MarySue Kara-Meir]]'s "stirring speech" [[{{Naytheist}} against Brassica Prime and Marimbo]] prior to 2014's "Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza":

* In one of the old (now removed) letters from Postbag from the Hedge, Romeo explains how he obtained his Moonclan cape, usually only available to members of the Moon Clan and people who have completed Lunar Diplomacy. [[RefugeInAudacity He stole it from]] ''[[MuggingTheMonster an elderly man wearing a blue party hat]]''.

--> You fiddle with the pipes. The price of seismic wands crashes. Panic sell wands.

-->'''Padomenes:''' Feeling better?
-->'''World Guardian:''' [[PrecisionFStrike Oh go f-]]
-->'''Sir Owen:''' [[CurseCutShort Yes, so moving on very quickly.]]

* In-universe in the first set of journals from the Warforged Archaeology site. Repurposing the goblin ritual dance masks with no eyeholes and to look like rival gods results in a slapstick spectacle that has ''Bandos himself'' laughing too hard to care that nobody's dying.
* By hunting dinosaurs, you can earn hunter marks, which you can then buy titles to show off your skills at hunting dinosaurs. It starts with 'X the Novice Baiter', then 'X the Apprentice Baiter' and so on. Jagex apparently twigged to what people would expect the last title to be, so rather than 'X the Master Baiter', it's 'X the Very Good Baiter'.

* After completing "Violet is Blue", players can introduce themselves to people of Yeti Village. One of them is Yeren, an adventurer who [[NotSoDifferent travels the lands looking for people to help, monsters to slay and doing any favours anyone has]].

'''Player:''': Why won't this work? What good is living in a magical world when I can't just rub two items together and solve the problem?

* On the Advanced Barbarian Agility Course, one accident that can happen is the player accidentally losing their footing while trying to do a cartwheel on the balance beam and landing [[GroinAttack on their crotch]]. This can also happen on the tightrope in Balthazar's Big Top Bonanza.

* On the Advanced Barbarian Agility Course, one accident that can happen is the player accidentally losing their footing on the upper-level plank obstacle and landing [[{{GroinAttack}}|on their crotch]].

** Pirate Pete's highly melodramatic, over-the-top and uncorroborated sob story. And the player's [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]] [[SarcasmMode response]].

** In A Clockwork Syringe, the pirates refuse to tell the player why they have a box of women's apparel because "[[HelloSailor What happens at sea stays at sea]]."

** Killing 6 bosses in succession and delivering awesome {{Postmortem One Liner}}s after he's finished.

* At one point, Ivy was glitched in that, rather than using a woodcutting hatchet in the player's inventory, the cutting animation played out using whatever item was equipped. This led to players chopping down ivy in ways such as punching it, [[EpicFail hitting it with a pickaxe,]] and [[http://images.wikia.com/runescape/images/f/f7/Chop_w_Sally.gif banging a salamander against the wall.]]

-->'''Dr. Fenkenstrain:''' Yes, but the sawdust came right off [[CrossesTheLineTwice with the cheese grater.]]

** Philipe levels up (quite frequently, in fact) during his battle against the Cave Wolf Matriarch and gets a "Quest Complete" screen. Bottom of the rewards list? ''[[WellDoneSonGuy Some self-respect]].''

-->'''Ozan''': Dung kalphites... [[WhyDidItHavetobeSnakes Why did it have to be dung kalphites]]?

* In "Some Like it Cold", one of the escape plans mentioned involves creating a second iceberg and moving all of the seals onto it. Even Teddy the polar bear cannot decide whether it is madness or genius. Other plans involve activating the nonexistent fire alarm, lassoing an albatross with underwear to hitch a ride, lying on their backs to spell HELP(won't work since penguins have white bellies), and launching out of the blowholes of killer whales. Also, Megapenguin.

-->'''Brassican perk:''' [[RandomlyDrops Always sometimes cabbages]].
* Near the end of "Sliske's Endgame", it is possible for the player character to have a TooDumbToLive moment by insulting [[TheMaker Jas]]. [[DoNotTauntCthulhu It doesn't end well]].

* [=RuneScape=] has seen its fair share of silly player titles over the years, mostly from [[{{Microtransactions}} Solomon's General Store]], but the crown jewel goes to the custom title won from the Game Blast 2018 charity auction, who opted for it to read [[https://runescape.wiki/w/EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]] ([[OverlyLongGag that's 25 [=Es=], count 'em]]), [[https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/8bcsrf/spotted_the_winner_of_the_gameblast_2018_charity/ owned by a player]] [[OneLetterName named E]] who apparently has a reputation as a CloudCuckoolander.

** When forced to do your chores again, the player somehow manages to screw up every single chore. Scrub the dishes? Break a plate. Sweep the floors? Break the broom in half. Cut some vegetables? ''[[EpicFail Break the knife on a carrot]]''.

*** Apparently, [[TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight it worked]]. We later see him redoing the Sea Slug quest, where he immediately gets a bunch of sea slugs latched onto him... and they decide to let him go. Because even for an all-consuming hivemind that wants to take over the world, ''even they don't want to deal with Dave.''

** To add insult to injury, this counts as a regular death, meaning you will lose most of your carried items. It also means that [[FinalDeathMode Hardcore Ironman]] characters will be KilledOffForReal, though the game explicitly warns about this.

* If you're feeling a bit evil today, try using a hatchet on [[Main/{{Treants}} Quercus]] (an ent that can be found between a bridge in Edgeville and a western Grand Exchange wall).

** The examine test of the evil spirit in question is "The pun was intended."

-->''Sadly the mithril bar does not spontaneously melt and fill the mould you have made.\\

--> The brave and magnificent Ozan, who writes his own descriptions.

--> '''Player:''' Oh really? Well, if you don't mind I've got a request if you wouldn't mind helping. It shouldn't be much for an adventurer like you. After all, it's only... [[SuddenlyShouting ONE SMALL FAVOUR!]]

** In A Clockwork Syringe, the pirates [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar refuse to tell]] the player why they have a box of women's apparel because "[[HelloSailor What happens at sea stays at sea]]."

-->'''Holstein''': ... Well, Brassica threw cabbages. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar I will leave it up to your imagination]] [[DungFu what Marimbo and her followers threw]].
