so for my upcoming dungeon, the boss at the end will be a bard who makes fun of each of the party members. His chosen performance is comedy so I figure he will need a few jokes to throw around for his minions to laugh at. After climbing a sloped ramp covered in grease and caltrops, having bee bags and alchemist fire thrown at them under a hail of arrows, they will have to deal with him and his bandit bodyguards swinging on ropes. Some of the spells i have prepared are blindness, sleep, mad monkeys, animate rope, shatter, and suggestion.

The party is made up of:

1) a "Snakeman" naga aspirant druid trying to make a kingdom safe for monsters
2) A deposed dhampir lord magus with a whip made from his brother's flayed skin
3) a chaotic evil rogue trying to secretly raise a group of brigands to power
4) a young female witch with a cackle based build, known for refusing to bathe
5) a warforged front line fighter with an erased memory who aspires to join a lawful good order
6) A heal build cleric of the god of the sun

I am making a list of one liners to give during the different phases. so far I have:

1) Ah Bastion the warforged, all the strength of a cavalry charge with none of the subtlety

2) after shattering a bow: That's the problem with archery, too many drawbacks

3)I'm not mad, I'm differently sane

4) Moron runs into a spear! What a Prick!

5)Time flies like an arrow, This flies like a (Insert projectile here)

6) Build a man a fire and hes warm for a day, set a man on fire and hes warm for the rest of his life

7)Insane? I'm a libra!

8)Let there Be Blight!!! (Throws bee bag)

9)Don't listen to him, Hes crazy!

10)Take me to your bleeder!

What I am looking for are jokes that fit the party and that is where I am struggling. I am going to try and get under the Dhampirs skin by claiming to have the same backstory but other than him and the warforged I have nothing party specific. Can any of the wittier members help me tailor this encounter or add some jokes you have used? I would appreciate it especially since I am hoping this will be a recurring enemy.

1. You (blank) and I (blank). What’s the difference between us? I actually look good doing it!

2. I hate to dirty my hands with your blood but that’s why I wear gloves!

3. I bet you’re wondering why I don’t wear thicker armor like you. It's because I actually take pride in my physique!

4. Tell me, was it nature or nurture that left you so disfigured?

5. Your face is more painful than your sword!

For the sun god's cleric, maybe a variation on the most recent OOTS (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0957.html) last panel. Something like- "When you get sick, do you just vomit up warm summer days?"

For the "Snakeman" naga aspirant druid:
- Am I hissing you off?
- Ooo, I could use a new pair of boots. Can I use your tail?
- I think I saw you at last year's limbo contest.

The deposed dhampir lord magus:
- Is your last name Belmont? Because you look like a Belmont.
- Sing or play "When a problem comes along, you must whip it!"

The chaotic evil rogue:
- Oh look, another rogue looking for treasure!

The young female witch known for refusing to bathe:
- (After attacking her in melee) And I thought she smelled bad on the outside!
- I don't think it'll matter if you're dead or not, you already smell like a corpse.
- Do people use you as smelling-salts?

The warforged front line fighter with an erased memory:
- I think I've seen you before. Well, forget it.
- I thought you were looking for a heart, not a brain Tin Man.

The heal build cleric of the god of the sun:
- How do you feel about sunburns?
- When the clouds roll in, do you power down?

This thread is reminding me of the insult/comeback challenge from Monkey Island:

I: This is the END for you, you gutter-crawling cur!
C: And I've got a little TIP for you, get the POINT?


I: Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab!
C: First you better stop waiving it like a feather-duster.

I: My handkerchief will wipe up your blood!
C: So you got that job as janitor, after all.

I: People fall at my feet when they see me coming.
C: Even BEFORE they smell your breath?

I: I once owned a dog that was smarter then you.
C: He must have taught you everything you know.

I: You make me want to puke.
C: You make me think somebody already did.

I: Nobody's ever drawn blood from me and nobody ever will.
C: You run THAT fast?

I: You fight like a dairy farmer.
C: How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

I: I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle!
C: I hope now you've learned to stop picking your nose.

I: Have you stopped wearing diapers yet?
C: Why, did you want to borrow one?

I: I've heard you were a contemptible sneak.
C: Too bad no one's ever heard of YOU at all.

I: You're no match for my brains, you poor fool.
C: I'd be in real trouble if you ever used them.

I: You have the manners of a beggar.
C: I wanted to make sure you'd feel comfortable with me.

I: I'm not going to take your insolence sitting down!
C: Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh?

I: There are no words for how disgusting you are.
C: Yes there are. You just never learned them.

I: I've spoken with apes more polite then you.
C: I'm glad to hear you attended your family reunion.

To any party member with a low Int score:
"I hear you're stupidly dangerous. Or is it dangerously stupid?"

There's also got to be a few Wizard of Oz jokes you can throw around:

"I can see a witch and a tin man, which one of you is Toto?"

"You smell so bad I'm tempted to throw a bucket of water at you. But you might melt, and where's the fun in that?"

"Wicked Witch, eh? I got your flying monkeys right here" - *casts Mad Monkeys*

"Nice boots! I might drop a house on you and take 'em."
