The Gamers

  • Whatever Nimble will be doing, it will be comedy gold. Hamming up his grief after his sister died? Stealing pants of a bar patron, while he's on a barstool? Backstabbing a guy with a ballista? Retconning his own death, three times?
    • And speaking of backstabbing with a ballista - the result is Ludicrous Gibs, made even funnier by the flat, emotionless delivery of the GM.
  • During the campfire scene, Rogar is met with a vision by the Princess...except everytime there's a significant line between either of them, the other players keep on interrupting with their own lines (which are noted to be just as cheesily delivered as Rogar's "I shall smite thee with my mighty bladenote ), despite everyone except Rogar supposed to be asleep. The supposed sleepers then end up flopping over onto the floor after they remember that detail. After the princess reveals the identity of her captor (The Shadow) and the running gag of everyone saying his name three times in a row dramatically, Rogar's player ends up forgetting that he's supposed to be awake after the GM points out that everyone is supposed to be asleep, and flops to the floor as well, before being reminded that he's awake and jumping back up.
  • The sudden, panicked scream of Ambrose, once his player recalls he has a severe case of potamophobia.
  • Party members taking turns with attempt to knock Ambrose unconscious, by duking it in his face.
    • Then the Overly Long Gag of Rogar sending the poor wizard flying with his punch, and everyone impatiently waiting for him to finally land... right before which the GM rolls dice and declares the lethal damage.
  • The abrupt appearance of the girl from down the hall during post-battle celebration, among the game characters, yelling at everyone due to the ruckus they are making.
  • The first team's encounter with the Shadow results in a groin attack, causing the Shadow to speak in a high pitched helium voice.

The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising

"I backstab the book!"
  • Also,
    "I'm Mort Agrippa. You see, I summon zombie ninjas. Are they ZINJAS? Are they... NOMBIES? I don't know!"
  • The undead, roasted turkey, further made hilarious due to the Stylistic Suck special effects.
  • Hide behind the mound of dead bards!
  • Cass says the four natural elements alone are weak, but together they form the fifth, strongest element Boron. Which, for those of you who are not chemistry nerds is the fifth element on the periodic table
    • When they meet the Lord High Inquisitor for the first time:
    Flynn: "Hail, random, creepy knight-guy."
    Lodge: Dude. Bardic Knowledge.
    Flynn: "Right. You're totally..."
    Lodge: The Lord High Inquisitor.
    Flynn: "The Lord High Inquisitor."
    Lodge: Of the Holy Grand Illuminated Order of Therin.
    Flynn: "... What he said. Hail."
  • The introduction of Brother Silence and Osric is punctuated by the former wearing a pair of fake elf ears, which the Hierophant immediately rips off to emphasize that he is "not an elf!" much to the amusement of the party.
    • It becomes much funnier in hindsight given that the D&D world is strongly implied to be connected to our world, which means that Brother Silence genuinely did want to pretend to be an elf for some reason, and everyone around him is just rolling their eyes in reaction to him.
  • Cass attempts at sounding smart are hilarious by themselves, but the final one takes the cake
    Brother Silence: He who stumbles around in darkness with a stick is blind. But he who... sticks out in darkness... is... fluorescent!
    [Cut to the table, with everyone looking completely confused at Cass]
    Lodge: (Beat) Lose 50 experience.
  • "I've got firewood!"
  • The scene where the fight against Mort Kemnon is interrupted by a giant cat!

The Gamers 3: Hands of Fate

  • Any scene in Hands of Fate where Gary hallucinates about Chibichan. Or talks about hydras.
    Chibichan: "Look, dude, you can't harass the mascots, OK? [subtitle: Cease your chattering, manflesh.]"
  • The Shadow's sarcastic bantering with the characters.
    Brother Silence: Shut up.
    The Shadow: I'm the antagonist. I can't antagonize?

    [Ruckus from outside their gaming room]
    Brother Silence: What was that?
    The Shadow: My minions. Minioning.
