Help me build a cliche/comedy dungeon

[Vortling]

Greetings ladies and gentlemen. I am in need of your assistance. I intend to put together an adventure/dungeon consisting of cliches and comedic references of the D&D variety.

Said adventure will start in a tavern where the group will be approached by a mysteriously shrouded old man who tells them of a dungeon filled with danger and treasure.

Said dungeon will be located underneath a gazebo.

There will be an orc guarding a chest in a 10' by 10' room somewhere in the dungeon.

The adventure may end with rocks falling and everyone dying.

Wrack your brains and post all the adventure and dungeon cliches and comedy ideas you can. (Yes I do intend to run this adventure here once it's put together)

[Gralamin]

Watch Slayers TV (As well as Slayers Next, and Slayers Try, and Slayers Revolution). Liberally steal.

[Oracle_Hunter]

Kobolds with Traps.

Monsters that make no sense in the dungeon (say, a couple of Ogres standing in a large room, while the dungeon entrance is barely big enough to fit a man-sized creature).

Wandering Monsters that make even less sense (a Displacer Beast hanging out with some goblins; a Djinn chilling with a couple of orcs; Rust Monster and an Iron Golem).

[NEO|Phyte]

There must be an area of Darkness, filled with shadows. The only way to proceed is to magic missile the shadows.

At the tavern, there MUST be an adventurer with an ogre-slaying knife. He adamantly refuses to part with it. The dungeon itself must have ogres.

[Maerok]

At least one NPC is a half-demon/half-angel/half-black-dragon vampiric paladin trying to combat his/her ancestry but is subsequently killed off with a force cage and cloudkill combo later on.

BBEG is trying to build a Locate City bomb, or a million-commoner quarterstaff railgun.

[Draz74]

Don't forget a demon statue with a Sphere of Annihilation inside its mouth. Maybe with a warning sign posted on it, because this isn't you-know-what-dungeon.

And a big idol with really valuable gems for eyes, guarded by lizardmen. Don't forget that either.

[Weezer]

you need a gazebo of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[Oracle_Hunter]

Overtly complicated death traps.

Traps need not cause actual death; find a copy of Tomb of Horrors for examples of both kinds

[dwagiebard]

You need a dragon, of course! On top of a pile of gold.

EDIT: Tomb of horrors (3.5) can be downloaded here!

[Stupendous_Man]

Overtly complicated death traps.

With unnecessarily slow lowering mechanisms.

Class! Love it!
referencing this I presume?

Anyhow, DnD came from Lotr I guess so you could just rip the **** outa that. or maybe they come across another party in there with all the cliche class/race combinations; Half orc barb, half elf bard, elf ranger ect

[Kris Strife]

every npc is named Bob, reguardless of gender.
The final room containes a vorpal bunny rabbit.
The most devestating trap needs to stop just before it kills the PCs and a sign that reads 'Out of order' needs to pop out.

[TheEmerged]

There absolutely *must* be a princess/damsel in distress to be rescued -- who turns out to be in the other dungeon/castle/lair...

The person who gives the party the quest turns out to be the BBEG, who is actually testing the effectiveness of his countermeasures/tricking the characters into uncovering the artifact/etc.

There should be at least one side quest that is deceptively easy ("Kill the giant rat"). Let the players believe they've succeeded, only to meet the REALLY giant rat (this was lampooned in the Bard's Tale remix game a few years back).

[Fishy]

Maze of twisty passages, all alike?

[Trizap]

maybe instead of a BBEG at the end, there is only an old man who angrily shouts at them: "ey! you kids get outta m' dungeon!"

[Kris Strife]

have the BBEG be a LG wizard with alzheimers that accidentally turned himself into a lich but hasn't noticed yet.

[joe]

If you're looking for over the top cheesy bad, you could check out the original Castle Greyhawk module. Though I would never recommend playing it otherwise.

[Oracle_Hunter]

Cursed Items! Hilarious Cursed Items

Mix them in with regular treasure, or just put them all in a pit somewhere. Your party Rogue will climb down and start trying stuff on, I promise

[Thurbane]

All secret doors have a big red S painted on them; all concealed doors have a big red C with an arrow poitning to the door.

[Vortling]

This is absolutely excellent! Keep them coming!

[chronoplasm]

Have a mimic in there, except instead of a treasure chest it looks like a toilet.
Also, put a treasure chest in there that the orcs use as a toilet.
Potty humor is pretty easy.

Also, you know those fungal spore monster things that look like Beholders but aren't? Throw those in there. In fact, just fill the place with stupid, ridiculous monsters.
Be sure to have at least one large monster inside of a room that it couldn't have possibly squeezed into.

[Mando Knight]

Ahem. TVTropes: The one-stop shop for all your literary device needs.

[TheThan]

The 100 foot long elder dragon crammed in a 10'/10' room.

When the players open the door, all they see is the dragon's smoldering red eye. He's pissed cause someone locked him in a room that's way to small, and now he wants to just kill something to make him feel better.

I read it and laughed. So uh.. Agreed.

Perhaps a door that leads the players onto a large catapault.. Willing to fling them at the wall.

[Thurbane]

A room full of massive iron and stone humanoid statues, none of which are golems!

[Moose Fisher]

Something from Alice in Wonderland, like the Mad Hatter Tea Party. The Mad Hatter would toss hats on top of the PCs that do various hilarious/harmful effects (but only one or two hat would be useful).

A branch of the dungeon with the four elements as a theme. If you don't want them to go through too much you can say the elements canceled each other out and now there is simply a 50'X50' room filled with treasure.

Genies that grant wishes, but in the worst way. Bonus points if you grant a wish a player accidentally says.

A room where the floor is built like a see-saw. Nothing bad happens though aside from shoving them into the other door.

A food dispenser... Monsters's gotta eat y'know.

An effeminate male with spiky hair wielding a ridiculously large sword. Best paired with a woman with long, flowing hair of unnatural hair color, a quiet mercenary, and some kind of animal.

Another party made up of a stupid fighter, kleptomaniac thief, apathetic wizard, and a cleric.

A room just like the one you are playing in, with people just like the players, playing a game just like yours.

Infinite portals.

[chronoplasm]

One of the doors in the place is trapped. When triggered, the trap releases a hammer from the ceiling that is supposed to swing down and crush whoever is at the door...

...Except the hammer breaks a wall open to reveal a treasure trove.

[Oracle_Hunter]

A room that will kill you.

The wall is a monster, the ceiling has monsters hiding in it, the floor is a monster, and all the furniture? Mimics

Ideally, your players should act like this by the time you're through with them

[Stupendous_Man]

Another party made up of a stupid fighter, kleptomaniac thief, apathetic murderous wizard, and a cleric delusional bard.

Fixed it for you.

That's not quite what I'm going for but I'll take what I can get. If I did want that I could always go for a reprise of Tucker's Kobolds.
