Your group's jokes.

Last night, my campaign started up again.

The first encounter was against a bunch of greaser vampires.

They're the tunnel fangs. And they ruled.

After the fight, one of them pissed his pants (which showed as a blood stain on his crotch) before he was immediately eaten by a Nightcrawler.

Aaaaaaaaand now you're imagining some blue guy that teleports.

Is this some sort of homebrew Fallout game?

being an Avatar the Last Airbender homebrew, every time something is destroyed, we all shout, " My Cabbages!" (or, on occasion, "My cabbage patch!"

every time a person talks in character when their character is not present, someone else shouts " cricket!" and the person being talked to brushes an imaginary cricket off their shoulder

our ex soldier earthbender has taken to creating a list of things the others need lessons in, and whenever we mess something up he goes, " that's for next class, xyz." (so far we need lessons in Proper interrogation techniques, medical treatment, prisoner keeping, and Where to Hide whilst being chased out of town by a Mob you just chloroformed with a giant chloroform mist illusion of the Ocean Spirit please waterbenders never do that again")

No, it was just a one-off reference to Fallout, despite that I've never played any Fallout games for more than a few minutes.

Our online group consists of a bunch of Americans and one lonely Brit, so whenever someone mentions that there's a football game on TV, they have to add, "And before you comment, dt, what you're thinking of is called soccer. Football involves people trying to kill each other, not prissy little ballerinas who fall over when someone looks at them funny."

FTFY ;)

Now, now. It's not nice to point out the homoerotic subtext of American football. Otherwise I'm going to point out how in every soccer match the players always wind up playing footsie

Just like every basketball game winds up with copious ball-handling. And every baseball game is about trying to catch the batter's balls. And billiards is all about working the shaft to knock some balls around.

Sports are Gay, is what I'm getting at. Much better to play Tabletop.

Are you suggesting that activities that typically end with a bunch of men getting naked in the shower together might have homoerotic subtext? I'm shocked!

any time a player wants to tell something to another player when the characters are not in the same room/area, it is prefaced with "cricket, cricket" and ended with "cricket, cricket"

this has led to quips such as " the crickets are being really helpful tonight" and " man, for bugs they have some good ideas" and "do I need to get some bug spray" and my personal favorite " WE ARE INSIDE A HOUSE HOW ARE THERE CRICKETS—wait. yeah, smart crickets. let's do that."

My 13th Age group took all of ten seconds after the wizard picked up colour spray to nickname it a "Can of Rave".

Going into insane detail about Spiderwebs and Tapestries.

I was the newb in the group and was completely terrified about dying early on and I let my paranoia/inner troll get the better of me.

Long story short, the Elvish monastery did NOT appreciate it when I burnt down every spiderweb and tapestry that was connected to the WOODEN ceiling in an attempt to bypass any "ceiling inclined" ambushes.

I'm in a Pathfinder game where the GM has players roll to confirm critical fumbles, with a "miss against that AC" meaning that you render the weapon unusable. For bows, this results in a broken string. When the party thief managed to destroy 3 bows in 2 combats (I, the party bard, have make whole, so repairs are thankfully easy), we now all make "duck and cover" jokes about whenever he goes to shoot anything, along with "helpful" comments like, "Have you ever considered the joys of a longsword?" and "They have enemy archers! Quick, switch to their side!"

What's Spiderwebs and Tapestries? I can't find it off a google.

...

Oh you mean actual literal... See, cause it follows the X and Y formula, so I thought it was some sort of offshoot..

Nevermind.>>

Oops I am sorry ,dawg, I as a really bad habit capitalize random things, and capitalized Spiderwebs and Tapestries. I didn't mean to make it sound like the most boring offshoot conceived.

But yes our DM will spend upwards of 3 minuets describing how marvelous, priceless, and illustrious the tapestries are, before quickly mentioning how Gnomish fire salve has prevented more fires than water itself.

Speaking of tapestries, have I mentioned that it's a running gag in campaigns I'm in that characters get "embroidered in fire?"

Quite a few years ago in a 3.5 D&D game of ours, we were all level 9 or 10, our party was in a black dragon's lair. We reached the dragon's chamber, which was blocked by a huge adamantine door. Now our cleric was the strongest character in the party, and he was obsessed with saving princesses. When we reached the door, he got a psychic message from someone; it was a princess locked inside the room with the dragon! Immediately he shouted "PRINCESS?!"

Now it was time for him to roll a Strength check to open the door. He rolls.... a natural 20. The whole table starts laughing.

The DM stated that he kicked the door OUT OF ITS HINGES. Yes, a level 9 human cleric, kicks an adamantine door off its hinges. It's both a Crowning Moment Of Funny and a Crowning Moment Of Awesome and is still one of me and the DM's inside jokes.

"PRINCESS?!" *BANG*

Some of us noticed there were often mentions of doors in our GM's descriptions. So we started to point it out, point out when there weren't doors, and finally called him "door master"^note MP instead of MJ/MD in french.

There was also the time where he introduced a race of draconic humanoids and showed us a picture of one... which kinda-sorta looked a bit like a goat (it had horns, and a spike below its chin that looked like a goatee). So we took that and ran with it, never calling them anything else... including the PC that took this race (he joined mid-campaign). Oh, and we got the GM to call them "goats" more than once. And we branded him "goat master" too^note MC in french.

And then there was the time when we tried to find him names for the whole alphabet. MA, MB...

The group me and my buddies formed had the running joke of the Blinged-Out Knoll. Basically, thanks to a ring of wish we came into immense wealth and then proceeded to frequent spend loads of it at the arcane weapon shop, run by a knoll. Each time we came back there my buddy (the DM) described the knoll as wearing increasing amounts of finery and jewelry. Eventually the thing looked like Mr. T. Thus, the blinged out knoll was born.

He even returned in a second campaign, lol.

Early in one of our campaign, there was a gathering of princes (the PCs were among the servants) and one of them, Treggyl, was married. His wife, Adara, ended up poisoning him (outright OOC knowledge and strong IC suspicion) but for years, to the GM's annoyance, we never ever mentioned her by name, only calling her "Treggyl's wife".^note even though she was technically Treggyl's widow

The trend only ended at another gathering a year or two later in-story (7+ years later IRL) with our PCs now nobles. My character decided to join a dance since I was indecisive, I let the choice of partner come to a dice roll: My character ended up dancing (and flirting) with Adara^note both knowing full well when and where they first saw the other, as my character had an unforgettable look (HUGE pointy ears) even back when he was a servant and that's when we stopped calling her "Treggyl's wife" at last.

We have the "dropped a boat on 'em" joke, where through a series of good search rolls, my players made a boat fly, and then decided that the easiest and most effective way to beat a boss was to position the boat above him and switch off the flight enchant.

It still makes me angry.

In my group's crazy Nintendo crossover homebrew thingy, the resident loony plays as Meta Knight. Somehow, we picked up the joke of him flickering out of existence for half a second whenever anyone nearby says the phrase "intrepid heroes".

One member of my 40k gaming group won a torunament game because a unit of daemons had a banner (the banner gives +1 to combat resolution, which was enough to turn a tie into a win and cause an enemy unit on a objective to fail its leadership test and break, on the last turn of the game), so now "I have a flag" (after a Eddie Izard sketch) has become a meme in our group.

Also, due to somebody mispronouncing the name, the Bloodthirster of Insatiable Rage is now known as the Bloodthirster of Insensitive Rage. He yells very rude things at the enemy soldiers.

In my Exalted group, the joke was the phrase "Sword Problems" —as in problems that needed to be solved with a sword. We used that to describe a lot of things, although sometimes I had to inform the party that not all problems were sword problems.

In my Legend Of The Five Rings group, there's a lot of jokes about buses, especially "Yogo Yubiko's Party Bus." It started with joking that our party's Kakita Duelist dodged the bus and redirected it at the poor NPC Crane Clan yojimbo when the aforementioned Yogo Yubiko (another PC, a Scorpion Clan character with the Crab Hida Bushi School) tried to get him into a (non-letal) duel with the Mirumoto Swordmaster (one of the few other people in court who was his equal). Then more bus jokes happened (such as that the Akodo had "Detect Bus" as a skill, because he can always tell when Yubiko is up to something). There's also a joke that the head Phoenix at court, an Isawa Air Tensai has an Iphone that she's always playing Candy Crush on (the GM was trying to explain that she always seemed disinterested and that metaphor stuck).
