Favorite Line in the Comic?

[Crisis21]

What is yours?

Mine happens to be "Variable-speed corn muffins!" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0721.html)

[Nimrod's Son]

I'm going to make a spooooky prediction: "I am a sexy, shoeless god of war" and "I think I just had an evilgasm" will crop up a lot in this thread.

The one that always stuck out for me is from SoD: http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g68/Cats_Are_Aliens/Banners/Xykon.png: "Pfft! No! I'm just screwing with you. C'mon, let's get undead."

[mootoall]

"Turquoise bicycle shoe fins actualize radishes greenly!" hands down.

[Nilan8888]

How can it NOT be:

"So what are the rest of you spineless ************* waiting for? I'm a goddamn baby-making, life-taking machine! Why should I care how many people I have to kill? I can just make MORE in my TUMMY!"


Mr. Xykon, sit down: we have a winner.

[goldgecko4]

"I never want to see you!"

(And then he'll leave.)

(Just like everyone else...)

*Angry enough to kill, even...*

-SNAP-

I THOUGHT HE WAS YOU! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AND I THOUGHT I WAS KISSING YOU!

-gasp-

[Forever Curious]

"Scrubbing the monkey". Best double entandre ever.

[Capt Spanner]

Ok, so I like the cutesy ones but:

"I'll take my chances that the Afterlife ... won't have any punishment worse ... than not being with you."

[CWater]

For some reason, this one got stuck in my head:

"I require a remainder as to why raining arcane destruction is not an appropriate response to all of life's indignities.

Quickly, please, before they're out of range."

V, comic 674 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0674.html)

[BadAndyMk3]

“Neutralize Poison.”

[Scarlet Knight]

:roy: "Glaive-Glaive-Glaive-Guisarme-Glaive?"

[Gandariel]

Funny:
Mitd: yeah, he gave me a direct order
-before-
Mitd: hey, Redcloak, i need-
Redcloak: go bother someone else

i laughed SO much on this one

Serious:
ABD: you.. you MONSTER!
Darth V: we're all in the Monster Manual somewhere, aren't we? my entry lies between Elemental and Ethereal Flitcher

[Valifor]

no, no, you're all insane the best is EASILY

Soon: "Ghost-Martyr's of The Sapphire Guard, ATTACK!"

:xykon:-> :smalleek:

[KoboldRevenge]

Terms accepted. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0440.html)

Cool thing to say i say.

[Gift Jeraff]

:thog: not nale, not-nale. thog help nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail.

[Alysar]

And once again, Probability proves itself willing to sneak into a back alley and service Drama as would a copper-piece harlot. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0584.html)

[Melayl]

There are too many great lines for me to pick a favorite.

[Starscream]

:roy: "If I don't look directly at it, it can't kill my brain."

[Damaris]

:thog: not nale, not-nale. thog help nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail.

I love that one too! Two other favourite I can think of right now are:

"Woooo! Door is fixed! All hail Door, king of Doorland! Go Elan! Go Elan! I'm useful!"

and

"Cool with me. Let's go massacre something."

[TerrickTerran]

From good old V "No, none of us were altering the unimutable laws of physics. That would be wrong."

[SlayerScott]

Funny
thog - Thog wonders how thog will cope with life outside jailhouse walls.
Prison changed thog

Elan - We were only in there for 40 minutes

thog - prison changed thog quickly.

Serious

ABD - Say "Disintegrate" one more time, Vaarsuvius. For Me.

Although you could easily come up with 10 more either way...

[Amarsir]

I've always had a warm spot for "Anyone ELSE wanna discuss my creature type with me?"

[slayerx]

Not sure but i might have to go with...

"I am somewhat preoccupied telling the Laws of Physics to shut up and sit down." -Vaarsuvius

[BadAndyMk3]

I've always had a warm spot for "Anyone ELSE wanna discuss my creature type with me?"

Heh, I was actually thinking about that one earlier.

Also, I don't know if it counts as a single line, but "Disintigrate. Gust of wind. Can we PLEASE get back to saving the world now?"

[ThePhantasm]

The furthermost right vertical one on #493.

[thubby]

sexy shoeless god of war. hands down.

it's my guild's victory cry at this point.

[Zevox]

:vaarsuvius: As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero.

Zevox

[ScottishDragon]

Is there really any question which line is the best? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0439.html)

[Seraphem]

So many to choose, but each for it's own reasons, but overall, I'd have to go with the one that wins for being a pure moment of shear tear jerkingly joyious heart warming.


"hi Roy, wanna play blocks with me?"

"More then anything."

[DragonOfUndeath]

:belkar: i am a sexy shoeless god of war :belkar:

[Telasi]

Let my people handle this, we're trained professionals. Well, we're semi-trained quasi-professionals, at any rate. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0358.html)

This sums up adventurers pretty nicely, and I keep wanting to slip this line into conversation.

[blunk]

Xdfw. (#250)

[Gwynfrid]

Hard to name just one.

I always remember Hey, there's no need for racial slurs! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0579.html)

Another huge one is At least I could give you a totally kickass headstone. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0598.html)

And also: Guess what spell I cast before giving this to the bird. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0659.html)

I could go on and on...

[PallElendro]

..."Red strikes true." And that's you, Red. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0060.html)

[DragonOfUndeath]

:belkar: run my little chunks of XP run! :belkar:

[Strawfox]

wanna play blocks with me?

[Sarahsuke]

:xykon: "Hey, look, I just regenerated a finger. Guess which one." (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0191.html)

[Crisis21]

Well, since so many people are chiming in with multiples, let me just say that "You're trying to kill me, you fruit-filled bastard!" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0091.html) holds a special place in my heart funny bone.

The whole strip came out of left field, and I don't think anything has registered quite as high on the 'WTF?!' meter since.

[C-Lam]

Mine has to be :thog: if you wannabe thog's lover, you gotta get with thog's friends (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0387.html)
And :mitd: Mr. Stiffly! MR. STIFFLY! O-CHUL! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0654.html)

[RndmNumGen]

:thog: not nale, not-nale. thog help nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail.

This. So much this.

[SnowballMan]

Hey, I'd resent that implication if it wasn't based entirely on my actual behavior up until this point! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0553.html)

[Secris]

Oh gods! You shot me! You crazy *****, I can't believe you shot me!
She absolutely did not shoot you and I completely expected it!

327 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0327.html)

[Kranerian]

Order of the Stick! Your broken corpses will taste delicious lightly seasoned with nutmeg! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0103.html)
I will die happy if that line reappears at the end.

[Morgan Wick]

Order of the Stick! Your broken corpses will taste delicious lightly seasoned with nutmeg! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0103.html)
I will die happy if that line reappears at the end.

Or at least when the MitD is finally revealed. (Although at this point it might be more likely to be said to Xykon or Redcloak...)

[Ted The Bug]

:roy: "If I don't look directly at it, it can't kill my brain."

I actually used this today in conversation.

[olthar]

I like the early comics for the great one-liners.
Bwaha! I have deep-seated emotional problems! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0014.html)
Evan's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion!!! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0020.html)
Oh sweet apathetic gods! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0040.html)
and oh so many more

[Setra]

I THOUGHT HE WAS YOU! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AND I THOUGHT I WAS KISSING YOU!! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0393.html)

[Poppy Appletree]

"****-a-doodle-doo!"

"You're not my real dad." (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0401.html)

:smallbiggrin:

[Volthawk]

Terms accepted. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0440.html)

Cool thing to say i say.

Gotta admit, that death knight was badass for the time he was in the comic.

[dragonsamurai77]

I prepared Explosive Runes today.

[BridgeCity]

Not sure that it is my all time favourite line, but I've always loved Shojo's last words.

"It appears not everyone agrees with your analysis"

Awesome thing to say, while smiling, to the paladin who just had their powers stripped for killing you.

[comicshorse]

" Bluff, bluff, bluff, the stupid ogre "

A classic

[Poppy Appletree]

"****-a-doodle-doo!"

"You're not my real dad." (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0401.html)

:smallbiggrin:

Oh, but how could I forget:

"While I? I am still a dragon." (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0627.html)

[hkm]

#398

group hug!
Hold Person.

I still giggle every time I get to that comic.

[Goosefarble]

I'm a sucker for the dramatic, so I'm gonna say that mine would either have to be one of three:

Either Roy's righteous anger (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0114.html);
:roy: "YOU!
BROKE!
MY!
SWORD!"

MitD's compassion (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0654.html);
:mitd: "Mr. Stiffly! MR. STIFFLY! O-CHUL!!"

or Xykon's heated rant (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0662.html).

:xykon: "No. You're not regenerating anything. That eye? That's your individual Idiot Tax. That's what this fiasco costs you, personally. I want you to remember every moment of every day what happens if we sit on our lazy ASSES and rearrange the furniture in a ruined city instead of moving on to the next target. If I ever see you with more eyes than *******s, I'm going to shove one in the other and give your cloak to that hobgoblin."

[Swordpriest]

There are so many that it's hard to choose. :smallbiggrin: Anything with Roy and Belkar is pretty funny, and a lot of Xykon lines prompt a grin, too. I guess if I had to pick three, it would be the following:

1. "Only the honor of a paladin is unbreakable ...." "Wait, do you hear a voice?" "....even by death itself. Ghost-martyrs of the Sapphire Guard, attack!" Combined with Xykon's reaction, of course. :smallwink:

2. "I love the smell of bat guano in the morning. Smells like .... victory."

3. The "nail not-nale, not nale" speech, which I'm not going to try to duplicate here. :smallbiggrin:

[Zen Monkey]

Not so much a quote, as a palpable feeling: comic #80, the progression of Roy in panels 6, 7, and 8 as Banjo is first introduced. Speechless, then trying to argue, then surrendering all hope of progress.

[Ninjaman]

Start of darkness
Page 31

Xykon: You first scaly
Scaly: My name is not"scaly". My name is Ekdysdioksosiirwo, viridian lord of-
Xykon: Yeah, that´s too long to remember.
Shoots lightning to kill scaly
Xykon: OK, then you in the red cloak. What´s your name?
All looking at dead scaly.
Redcloak:... Red...cloak. Yes, my name is Redcloak. And this is my younger brother...Right-Eye.

And Xykons coffee speech
page 35

Page 30
Xykon: Hey, fun fact: if you beg for mercy I´ll let you live.
Paladin: Please, sir, I have a wife and child back home! Have mercy!
Xykon: Even more fun fact:I´m a total liar.
Paladin:AARRGH

[Tyrrell]

"Let Gortok answer your question with a question. Who will be the moron after Gortok's white hot anger crushes your little body into a mangled bloody pulp while Gortok sings a jaunty tune to accompany your unanswered cries for mercy ?" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0132.html)

[Crisis21]

"Let Gortok answer your question with a question. Who will be the moron after Gortok's white hot anger crushes your little body into a mangled bloody pulp while Gortok sings a jaunty tune to accompany your unanswered cries for mercy ?" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0132.html)

Personally, I like the panel immediately following that line more, but I will admit that it wouldn't be funny at all if not for the line you quoted.

[mootoall]

Sorry, I'm going to have to change mine:
"Vaarsuvius: It seems like a reasonable response to me. As the size
of an explosion increases, the number of social situations
it is incapable of solving approaches zero.

Blackwing: (whispers something into Vaarsuvius' ear)

Vaarsuvius: And that would be wrong."

[Cybertoy00]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0325.html
"Proof once again that we are the only adventurers for whom the letters 'AD&D' stand for 'Attention Deficit Disorder."

[Warren Dew]

I don't know that I have a single favorite, but "stop oppressing my culture, you ethnocentric bitch" in 202 was pretty memorable, coming from Belkar.

[Nimrod's Son]

"****-a-doodle-doo!"
Thanks to the self-defeating swear filter, I first read that as a considerably-more-offensive line from Four Weddings and a Funeral. :smallamused:

[Ajadea]

hi roy! wanna play blocks with me?
:roy: More than anything.
---
:mitd: Mr Stiffly! Mr Stiffly! O-CHUL!
---
:mitd: Oh man! You don't know what he's like when he gets like this! You gotta leave right now! Come on, you're my friend! You're my friend, you HAVE to be OK! It can't end like this! It's not fair! You need to leave. You need to ESCAPE

[ferrodoxin]

Cant decide but few of my favs are the following;

"Eugene" "Father" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0601.html)

"Nice boots" "Nice haircut" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0608.html)

"Now, see that? That's a climax" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0284.html)

But if I have to go with one i suppose this is it:
I will gladly corroborate: he does not, in fact, know anything.
At all (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0584.html)

[Ninjaman]

"Now, see that? That's a climax" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0284.html)


That very battle was the very essence of epicness:belkar:

[DragonOfUndeath]

:belkar: my thanks?? are you kidding me?? you ruined everything!! all that work to push her over the edge, and you interrupt her before she finally snaps! I guess i can always start over but all that work wasted! :belkar:
this sums Belkar up perfectly

[Mekboy]

"Tiny man is violating Gortak's personal space!"

[Yana]

"Heredity is a cruel mistress." (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0723.html)

[Zefir]

"I think I just failed a spot check" or
"Wait! I think I just failed a listen check"

Nothing can beat them

[Xerxus]

"THEN LET THE REAPING BEGIN!!" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0436.html)

[Sir_Elderberry]

What I see now is that planning doesn't matter. Strategy doesn't matter. Only two things matter: power, in as great a force and concentration as you can muster, and style. And in a pinch, style can slide.:xykon:

[Lieforcsplitter]

I have a favorite for each character:

Elan:"I'M INVISIBLE!!:elan:
Belkar:"I AM SEXY SHOELESS GOD OF WAR!!":belkar:
Roy:"I wouldn't touch your skinny uptight ass with a standard issue ten foot pole you overbearing self righteous bitch.":roy:
Vaarsuvius:"I am somewhat busy telling the laws of physics to sit down and shut up.":vaarsuvius:
Haley:"I SAID SNEAK ATTACK BITCH!!":haley:
Durkon:"Go team Cleric." :durkon:

I love OOTS, btw who is your fave character, Belkar for me.

[Marnath]

:elan: I got a 4! DID YOU HEAR ME? I GOT A 4!!!

[Ninjaman]

YAHTZEE!

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0414.html

[Kurald Galain]

"Apparently."

[Mordaenor]

"As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations
it is incapable of solving approaches zero."

This is definitely one of the all time greatest sentences ever written.

[Stmr5000]

The last scene of SoD really has the best lines, all from our favorite lich.

:xykon: "Hey Redcloak, can you please explain to me why Cinco De Mayo has broken out on my battlefield?"

:xykon: "Huh, first you blast your brother, then you lie to me about it, and now this? Did they have a big sale down at the testicle store or something?"

:xykon: "That right there? That's the difference between bonafide true Evil with a capita "E" and your whiny, "Evil, but for a good cause" crap. One gets to be the butch, and one get's to be the bitch- Bitch."

And of course...
:xykon: "ENERGY DRAIN!"

[Dragon Star]

"I rest easy knowing your revenge requires you to first outsmart someone's mount"
and "You'll be done with your sentence in a week, tops!"
take the cake.

[Crisis21]

:xykon: "Hey Redcloak, can you please explain to me why Cinco De Mayo has broken out on my battlefield?"

Getting that line explained is perhaps the best reason I can think of to buy Start of Darkness (which I do already own).

Learning the origins and motivations of Xykon and Redcloak is just icing on the cake. :smallbiggrin:

[Dr.Epic]

"Guess what spell I cast before giving this to the bird?" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0659.html)

[Theblackmage]

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i294/trytoguess/O-Chul.png: He may have all the strength, but we have the initiative. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0670.html)
:haley:: Initiative?!? Where? I got a 23! I make a sneak attack! And a spot check! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0670.html)

[Phishfood]

Well....I like a lot of the ones mentioned, but some of my favourites are these too..

"A 20lb tub of strawberry frosting is not a table scrap!" "you've been eating at the wrong tables"

"dun dun DUN"
"why is he doing that?"
"maybe you are squeezing him too hard"

"why thogs pants turn purple?"

and, for some reason...

DILL RESISTANCE!

[Puppeteer]

This one from Start of Darkness by Xykon:

I ripped off my own living flesh so that I wouldn't have to admit weakness. You're strictly little league compared to that. That right there? That's the difference between bonafide true Evil with a capital "E" and your whiny "evil, but for a good cause," crap. One gets to be the butch, and one gets to be the bitch — Bitch.

Ok, it's not just one line but it was worth mentioning it heh.

[Ricky S]

"Oh wait- did you mean we should kill the ogres? Never mind then." :belkar:
oots 211. That line always makes me smile and highlights how evil belkar really is.

Another favourite is Mr Scruffy in oots 535 "*Schlict, Schlict, Schlict* Meow?"

[curtis]

:vaarsuvius: As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero.

*whisper whisper whisper whisper whisper whisper*

:vaarsuvius:And that would be wrong.


:thog: not nale, not-nale. thog help nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail.

:xykon:You seem to have an interest in power, so let me educate you a little while I search for you. It's sort of this thing I like to do sometimes, especially for learned wizards such as yourself. Power, it isn't something you put on or take off like a jacket. It's something you just ARE. If you can lose it by blowing two Will saves, you never really had any power in the first place, you know what I'm saying? Hell, the idiot paladin understands better than you do, 'cause he got every one of those hit points I burned off of him the hard way: he earned them. 'Course, now he's also earned an upgrade to Prisoners First Class for daring to touch my pretty little bauble. It's sort of the same as how we've already been treating him, only now we get serious about it. Anyhoo, where was I? Oh, right. Your soul shenanigans are real flashy, but they had one weakness: they were still shackled to your lame mid-level ass! I used to think spells equaled power, too, back when I was alive. I've learned a lot since then. You know what does equal power? Power. Power equals power. Crazy, huh? But the type of power? Doesn't matter as much as you'd think. It turns out, everything is oddly balanced. Weird, but true. For example... Right now, power takes the form of a +8 racial bonus to Listen skill checks. So, Uncle Xykon, what's the moral of the story? A big pile of spells isn't enough when the other guy has a big pile of spells AND the strength to crush your windpipe with his bare phlanges. And they died happily ever after. The End.

:redcloak:Wow. And you have the cajones to call Xykon, "unnatural abomination"? With a straight face? (and the following argument)

[ZakRenning]

:durkon: So that explains why ye just charmed that muskrat into humpin' Belkar's bare feet.
:vaarsuvius: Hmmm? Oh, no that was merely for my personel amusement.
:belkar: What the-?! Arrgh! Get off! Wild empathy check! WILD EMPATHY CHECK!!!

[Zordrath]

Pretty much whenever Xykon opens his mouth :P Though one of my favorite lines of his is "Great. Me first." Not so much for the line itself, but the action accompanying it.

From the Order, I've always loved this exchange:

:durkon: "Dwarven tradition dictates that we drink one ale fer each number 'n tha countdown!"
:belkar: "This is a New Year's tradition?"
:durkon: "Nah, pretty much whene'er anyone counts."

Not the most sophisticated of jokes, but it still cracks me up every time I read it :smallbiggrin:

[Stmr5000]

Pretty much whenever Xykon opens his mouth :P Though one of my favorite lines of his is "Great. Me first." Not so much for the line itself, but the action accompanying it.


Uuuuurgh, I can't remember what strip that is? Could you please tell me? It sounds quite bad ass.

[Snares]

:nale: "Must... resist urge to assert... heterosexuality! For the sake... of the plan!"

:sabine: "Honey, I'm a shapechanger, it's not like we never tried-"

:nale: "Not! Helping!"

Had me absolutely in stitches.

[Zordrath]

Uuuuurgh, I can't remember what strip that is? Could you please tell me? It sounds quite bad ass.
It's from strip 112 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0112.html).

Granted, he still got beaten afterwards, which diminishes the effect somewhat in retrospect, but I still loved that moment of shattering the Order's entire plan for victory with a ridiculously simple spell.

[yaklin]

Malacks line in 735 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0735.html)
"A perpetual struggle to maintain the hit points of five nigh-suicidal tomb robbers determined to deplete them at all costs."
I like this mainly because I recently tried being a cleric and it is just so true.

[DragonOfUndeath]

:xykon: sacrificing minions: is there any problem it can't solve!

[Private-Prinny]

"Don't walk on the grass, don't litter, stop raping the cycle of life with your unclean power" blah blah blah. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0709.html)

The second I saw that line, I swore I would use it in a campaign somewhere.

[coatsy22]

Man, how did everyone miss the best lines ever, and from strip 13.


:belkar: We have a goal?

:roy: Sure. Why did you think we were here?

:belkar: Well, I just figured we'd wander around, kill some sentient creatures because they had green skin and fangs and we don't, and then take their stuff


Warms the chaotic cockles of my heart

[Illeist]

"One saving throw at a time."

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0670.html

Because nothing's better than O-Chul.

[Barstro]

:belkar: It's like you crystallized the best sex you've ever had with a woman and put in a a tiny bottle on your spice rack.

:belkar:No, wait, it's like you took that spice and snorted it while screwing her hotter sister.

:belkar:In front of her.

[Calmness]

:xykon: Choose your doom then, chicken-mage: Original Recipe or Extra-Crispy?

Or, going with several lines:

:vaarsuvius: I worship the ancient god of knowledge, keeper of secrets so mighty that even the smallest taste of them would shatter your sanity! My devotion to his arcane mysteries is absolute! I shall never renounce him! Never! Do you hear me? NEVER!

:elan: I'll throw in a free cofee maker.

:vaarsuvius: Does it do expresso?

:elan: No.

:vaarsuvius: NEVER!

[littlekKID]

Elan-I am your father.
*beat*
OH MAN! I've always wanted to say that line! :smallbiggrin:

[Dvil]

:thog: not nale, not-nale. thog help nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail.

Quoted for truth.

[PsychoticPanda]

:thog: not nale, not-nale. thog help nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail.

:smallconfused: Pleading insanity, then?

[Grendus]

:mitd: : "Yea, but it's real monopoly money this time, I learned my lesson."
:belkar: : "I am a sexy, shoeless god of war"
:vaarsuvius: : "Belkar is a horrible, loathessome, supremely selfish creature who behaves contemptibly, laughts at the pain of others, has no manners whatsoever, and whose mental acuity would be compared unfavorably to that of a table... And yet I find I still prefer him to you!"
:thog: " "But Thog just finished step 3: stuffing potato salad into giant wooden alpaca"
:sabine: " "Oh, sorry, I got kind of distracted after you said the word 'three way'"
:roy: : "I said stop it. *WHAM*"

Just a few.

[PsychoticPanda]

Fools!!! If you want an awsome line, I have the BEST.

Meow?

You can be amazed now.

[Juggling Goth]

The first one that honest-to-god cracked me up (previous ones made me grin), and still makes me giggle, from strip #006 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0006.html)

:elan: Clot, clot, clot, my bleeding arteries!
:haley: Elan!
:elan: Hi, Haley. Look, I found all these free swords. They were in my spleen.

I think it helps that I just find the word "spleen" inherently funny.

[PsychoticPanda]

:eek: I knew a guy whose cousin was hit by a rock thrown by a halfling. Three months later he was eaten by a tiger!!

Edit: "Roy, Roy"
"Wah, is someone calling me"
" No I', just shouting Roy for the hell of it."

[Jaffo]

It's not the smartest line in the comic but when it comes to pure laughter, you can't beat: "If you wannabe Thog's lover, you gotta get with Thog's friends."

Best dramatic line: Disintegrate. *Woosh*

[Jaffo]

Mine has to be :thog: if you wannabe thog's lover, you gotta get with thog's friends (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0387.html)
And :mitd: Mr. Stiffly! MR. STIFFLY! O-CHUL! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0654.html)

I didn't expect anyone else to pick that one! Nice!

[C-Lam]

I didn't expect anyone else to pick that one! Nice!

No matter how many times I read it, it ALWAYS makes me laugh:smallbiggrin:.

[Ranylyn]

I'm torn between "We can also watch it in spanish" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0047.html) or the one everyone knows about the size of explosions.

Oh, and another recent one:

"Because I'm holding a THERMAL DETONATOR!"
"That's a can of tomato soup!"

[wybrand]

You guys missed one of the best!
:xykon: "You, sir, have a serious problem with overreaction." (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0112.html)

[Gwynfrid]

I think no one quoted from the Oracle yet:

"I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I am doing" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0330.html) was a killer line. In fact, about half of the Oracle's lines in that particular strip deserve to be on a favorites list.

[Zerg Cookie]

:redcloak: Order every hobgoblin, zombie, ghoul, or whatever else we have to charge that breach in the wall, and not to stop until they can feel the ocean spray on their faces

EPIC

[Souhiro]

Well, there are quite a few:

Belkar's "I AM SEXY SHOELESS GOD OF WAR!!" but when he said it to Lord Shojo.

Lord Shojo's "Evolve or Die". Granted, it was the cleric of Loki who said it, but is HIS line.

Malack's "A perpetual struggle to maintain the hit points of five nigh-suicidal tomb robbers determined to deplete them at all costs."

Bandid Keith's "IN AMERICA!!"

[Derjuin]

One of my favorite lines, just because of how silly it sounds:

Lirian: "Excuse me, have you seen any lost bears around here?"

How does one actually tell if a bear is lost or not? :smalltongue:

[Dust]

The moment I feel utterly and totally in love with this comic was in Start of Darkness, during Xykon's sorcerer vs wizard duel. Can't quote it due to spoilers, but wow. Just wow.

[KillItWithFire]

From strip #640,
:vaarsuvius:: This-and no less-is the price of threatening my family. Disintegrate.

I just love the authority he/she takes in this line.

[Nimrod's Son]

How does one actually tell if a bear is lost or not? :smalltongue:
In fairness, it seems that Lirian's bears could talk, so I guess it would probably have been asking for directions.

[crumbpants]

"SNEAK ATTACK, BITCH!"

#396 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0396.html)

^^ my personal fav

[Crisis21]

"SNEAK ATTACK, BITCH!"

#396 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0396.html)

^^ my personal fav

Personally, I don't think that line is nearly as funny without the one immediately preceding it.

[zyborg]

" Bluff, bluff, bluff, the stupid ogre "

A classic


:thog: not nale, not-nale. thog help nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail.

Those two are probably my favorites.

[Azuyomi244]

ABD: you.. you MONSTER!
Darth V: we're all in the Monster Manual somewhere, aren't we? my entry lies between Elemental and Ethereal Flitcher

I LOVE that one!

I also like :mitd: "Mr. Stiffly! MR. STIFFLY! O-CHUL!"

[KillItWithFire]

hmmm, seems a lot of people like lines involving the black dragon and V, can't say I blame them as that is imo the most engaging story arc thus-far.

[Clertar]

One that always makes me laugh:

"Crap, another Fearher Fall?! This totally sucks!"

[veti]

"Anyone ELSE wanna discuss my creature type with me? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0538.html)"

... just reminds me sooo strongly of my playing days. It's the perfect line at the perfect time.

[Jay R]

Several excellent ones have already been mentioned, but these two also deserve a mention:

1. Technically, the "Fish" Version is a Subset of This One (title of #612)

2. "Bugsby's Expressive Single Digit!" (My bard researched this as a cantrip.)

[Silverraptor]

"I'm Chaotic." (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0230.html):smallamused:

[seadak]

"Solve a mans problems with violence, help him for a day. Teach a man to to solve his problems with violence, help him for a life time.":smallbiggrin: Probably because I read this the day my teacher made a big deal about Heifer giving a man a fishing pole instead of a fish.

[Hardcore]

:roy:"So, I've met someone who is everything I thought I wanted, and I find that I really just want to kick her in the head" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0215.html)

:durkon: "Love is an Epic-level challenge"

[Umbra]

For all the great jokes that have been made, and the epic statements that have been said, there is one quote that sticks out a bit more than the rest. It's just a few panels in SoD, but they're memorable panels.


No... not a prison anymore.

[Hardcore]

Yep, it doesn't need to be fun and witty to be memorable.

[2-HeadedGiraffe]

I've been trying to find a particular quote by Thog that I really liked, but it'll probably take another complete read through the books. I seem to remember a line that started with "Thog not know what that mean, but" and was awesome, but I don't remember the rest of it and haven't found it yet.

[Mysterious_A]

Mine's gotta be...

"...and he kept stabbing them, again and again..."

"He's a halfling, he's supposed to be jolly..."

"Why isn't he jolly?"

"WHY ISN'T HE JOLLY???"

:smalltongue:

[Kobold-Bard]

:roy:: "Nope. Charge!" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0105.html)

I love the simple beginnings of the comic. This was a truly epic moment in my first readthrough.

[Half-orc Bard]

I said nothing

[Stumblebee]

:thog: *sigh* thog fears he will never again know the majesty of the gumdrop mountains.

[Kahai]

So many great quotes, but I think my two favorite ones are.

:haley: "WHOOOO! You go, girl!"

And of course.


:thog: not nale, not-nale. thog help nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail.

[Skiersaur]

"Liberation: commencing."

I cheer inside every time I read that one.

[goodyarn]

It's difficult to pick one, but in the running are:

"Welcome to the village of Lickmyorangeballshalfling"
"Thog too pretty for jail"
"Why isn't he jolly??"
"No...not a prison anymore."

[Zerg Cookie]

I also like "Mr.stiffly! MR.STIFFLY! O-CHUL!"
best character development ever

[Grogmir]

Warning - my favorite quote is from OtOotP

:belkar: its not my fault they brought Fists to a Knife fight!

:eek: it wasn't a Knife fight until you started stabbing people!

:belkar: Exactly.

Followed oh so quickly by

:belkar: You should have a sign or something, 'please don't kill anymore than five of us'

:eek: We would rather you didn't kill any of us.

:belkar: Now you're just being unreasonable.

[HalfTangible]

A a three way tie between:

-"Gosh, son, thanks ever so much for destroying Xykon for me. My spirit will rest easy now."
-Xykon's speech about power. (it's one of Xykon's few moments where he gains depth as a character. Just because he doesn't neccesarily NEED it doesn't mean it's not cool when he gets it)
-"I can't help but notice your feeling of team spirit is inversely proportional to your number of functioning limbs, sir." (And of course: "He shoots, he scores!")

[Izar Goldbranch]

I wish I knew the exact comic number, but I always loved the one at the end of the strip where Elan and Thog were escaping from Prison.

:thog: "Escaping is fun!"

The look of pure joy on his face as he swung his axe at the guards just added to it.

[calar]

:vaarsuvius: Aren't you a violation of a certain popular fantasy writer's intellectual property?

[Nimrod's Son]

I wish I knew the exact comic number, but I always loved the one at the end of the strip where Elan and Thog were escaping from Prison.

:thog: "Escaping is fun!"

They didn't kill anyone on their escape from prison. You're probably thinking of this one. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0362.html)

[k_bukie]

:haley: Woooooo! Kick his ass, Oddly Effective Elan! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0393.html)

[Asthix]

:vaarsuvius: Aren't you a violation of a certain popular fantasy writer's intellectual property?

Man I love that line. However I am a creature of the moment so:

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g68/Cats_Are_Aliens/Banners/EmpressofBlood.png: "I am here! I am your ruler! Look at me! I am cool, but I am also very warm! Woooo!"

[willdelve4beer]

:belkar:

"Stop oppressing my culture you ethnocentric bitch!"

[Frozen_Northman]

:xykon: Sacrificing minions - is there any problem it CAN'T solve?

[LightsOnNo1Home]

HAS to be:

:elan: Yea, though I walk through the valley of Roy being really pissed, I shall fear no thwacking, for my lute and my banjo, they comfort me.

[JadeTarisu]

There are so many super-cool quotes in this comic, but for the moment my favorite is:

"Choose your doom, then, chicken-mage: Original Recipe, or Extra Crispy?"

lolz! That was an epic death knight.

[Warren Dew]

From Origins of PCs:

Roy: So, have you learned anything by this exercise?

Belkar: Definitely. It's been very enlightening. Thanks!

Belkar: (thinking) If I'm going to attack my allies, I should delay until the END of initiative order, when they'll all be tied up in melee.

[NegativeFifteen]

Not really a line, just the first four panels in strip 257.

[Crisis21]

Not really a line, just the first four panels in strip 257.

Ah, yes, the rocket skate kidnapping. POW!

[kaszanix]

For me it's totally the dialogue from Cliffport: Redemption (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0387.html)

:thog: thog wonders how thog will cope with life outside jailhouse walls.
:thog: prison changed thog.
:elan: We were only in there for 40 minutes.
:thog: prison changed thog quickly.

[NegativeFifteen]

Actually, after having just picked up my copy of Start of Darkness, I want to change my answer to:
:redcloak: DIE you public-service announcing bastard!

[Cealocanth]

I gotta say.

:elan: I got a four!

[suszterpatt]

Because of the context:

:roy: Shut up, dad. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0484.html)
