** "''He's a twentieth level monk[[note]]As Spoony notes, it's actually a wererat[[/note]][[note]]Although it's possible that the DM just modified the campaign since he apparently did make it harder.[[/note]]!''" *loud squeak by Oreo's squeaky toy that almost sounds like a frightened squeal*
*** The visual of the barely alive Tandem stabbing the remains of the Doormouse, to the point where his party members had to drag him off.

** The multiple {{Not Making This Up Disclaimer}}s he gives for "Castle Greyhawk", including the legendary mage Mordenkainen is a dimensional traveler who films movies in his castle using real monsters, an encounter with the cast of ''Franchise/StarTrek'' (complete with phasers), and getting into a fight with [[NorseMythology Thor]] because you walk into his dressing room.

* The ending of The Other Dirtiest Book in the Game, where he talks about a monster called Creamy Ooze. Yes, it's exactly what you think it is.

* He compares Bards in AD&D to the [[{{Dune}} Kwisatz Haderach]], which is not all that inaccurage, given the high stats required for entry into the class.

** Describing how during the aforementioned flamethrower incident [[MidBattleTeaBreak everyone else stops fighting to stare at the flaming sith lord running past]].

*** "Lycanthropy. [[{{Beat}} (Slight pause)]] I didn't know you o

* While the ''ThievesWorld'' story gets ''[[http://blip.tv/the-spoony-experiment/counter-monkey-thieves-world-part-1-poor-impulse-control-6001618 really]]'' dark, '''[[http://blip.tv/the-spoony-experiment/counter-monkey-thieves-world-part-2-the-chicago-way-6001413 really]]''' fast, the story of some no name idiot mage throwing a bottle of acid at Tempus Thales face still had me laughing for five minutes straight. It couldn't have been a better punchline if Spoony had ''planned'' it because it was all set up perfectly, from the minor tangent early on talking about the devious horror of chucking flasks of acid at people in combat, to the descriptions of how he reacted to getting '''acid in the face''', it will leave you gasping for breath.

** "[[{{Planescape}} Sigil]] is a shitty... [[FreudianSlip uh, city]] shaped like a donut... a donut [[ItMakesSenseInContext on top of an infinite pizza]]. I don't make this up, it's a torus. [{{beat}}] It's a donut."

** "Yeah, I compared DarkSun to MadMax. Still can't get [[RunningGag beyond Thunderdome]]".
** He mentions that the main god of goodness in {{Dragonlance}} is called Paladine. Cue "[[RunningGag What's a Paladine]]?"

** The title in a meta sort of way, for being [[CMPunk a reference]] that has nothing to do with the video, isn't brought up in it, and few people are going to get.

** Crazy Mike, given a SurferDude voice by Spoony, is described as being "a half-[[KeanuReeves Keanu]]".

** His amusement with the electronic dice when musing over {{Shadowrun}} and ThePriceIsRight applications.

* The miscellaneous teases of Jinx, PushingUpRoses' gnome druid. Her lower intelligence stat results in many YouNoTakeCandle jokes.

* It's revealed that PushingUpRoses opted out, Jinx leaving as a result with an in-story reason. The party jokes that "(Her) planet needs (her)!"

* Spoony's first character, Lance Stormshield, drinks two potions...and explodes. It gets even funnier from there.

** He talks about stun and kill settings on blasters in ''StarWars'' and then contrasts it with ''Franchise/StarTrek'', mentioning that in the recent reboot it's now colour coded: "Blue for stun, and red for ''OUCH!''"

** Spoony's constant battles with the auto-focus. Especially funny if you watch StuartAshen's videos, where this has become a RunningGag, and are now watching Spoony discover the same problems for himself for the first time.

* Likely not an intentional example, but he comments about how when you've got a Superman-esque boy scout character in the party, you shouldn't throw acid in people's faces. Considering how his ''Thieves' World'' campaign all started with one of the [=PCs=] throwing acid in somebody's face, that may have funnier than it was meant to be.

---> '''Spoony''': Ugh. (''bored monotone'') "I pledge allegiance to the Reaper�"

* In "[[http://spoonyexperiment.com/counter-monkey/counter-monkey-they-duel-thats-what-they-do/They Duel. That's What they Do.]]", Spoony recounts a story of his only game of TabletopGame/LegendOfTheFiveRings, where he spent an hour creating a character, another hour being confused at the setting (which he knew nothing about at the time), five minutes offending the Crane party member (by [[BlueAndOrangeMorality accepting an offer of tea before refusing it three times]] and carrying a katana) and the final five minutes being chopped into fishbait by said Crane party member ("Because they duel."). He's still bitter about it.

** Explaining why the Tantric Mage is the worst class because they require having sex to renew their powers -- which due to the logistics of most adventures would mean [[CoitusUninterruptus doing it within sight of his companions ''for hours'']].

** Realizing that he's [[DiggingYourselfDeeper digging himself deeper]] the more he complains about the feats that let you extent a sexual act for ludicrous amounts of time.
