History Funny / PuffinForest

* Reading Strahd's tome in Episode 6, when he becomes emotional and dramatic the vampire's accent starts to sound like [[Film/TheRoom Tommy Wiseau]], entirely appropriate for a man obsessed with a woman who doesn't return the feelings.

* In 'A Few Stories from Non-DND Systems I've played' Ben was not allowed to play a character obsessed with horse rights in a Song of Fire and Ice Campaign, as the characters see no reason to allow such a weirdo into their group. So then he ends up playing the EvilUncle.

* Meanwhile, during the tense situation, Gouda goes up to Strahd... and asks the name of his horse, because she still doesn't know it and fells bad about calling the Nightmare a nickname in her head. He ends up having to spell Beuceaphalus out for her. It is possibly the only non-BlackComedy moment Strahd has had thus far.

* The players describe a hypothetical epilogue situation where Gouda became the new Dark Lord and proceeded to spam her Wild Magic in order to summon all the unicorns in existence to Barovia causing them to effectively go extinct in the rest of the multiverse. Gouda's player insists that Barovia wouldn't be a trap or prison, but a safe ranch.

* In a video on ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'', Ben explains one of his favorite commanders; [[https://scryfall.com/card/scg/138/karona-false-god Karona, False God]], who's primary schtick is that its controlers has to pass control of it over to the next player at the beginning of the next player's turn. Ben describes this as "you give another player [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic Karona]], [[CrossesTheLineTwice then they pass it to another player, and it just kinda goes around the table, makes sure that everyone has it]]."

* Gouda declares she's going to spend an hour of downtime regaling an NPC with the party's exploits in Barovia, minus the fights they lost and all the times they screwed things up. The DM agrees, but asks what Gouda plans to do with the other 59 minutes.

* While discussing Ezmerelda's vampirism, Garo tries to explain to Gouda how the thirst for blood is uncontrollable and will lead to her turning evil and murdering people to eat them. She points to Boshack who is currently feasting on their enemies and Garo tries to say it's not the same... but has to admit Boshack eats people alive or dead and is evil, but at least exercises portion control. At which point Boshack starts choking while trying to simultaneously eat two organs and a femur.

* In the Obelisk Encounter during an Adventurer's League story, a party would have to push over the Obelisk to summon the high level demon. Naturally it is Ben's group to do so, and when they do, the DM at every other table are ecstatic that someone did so.

* In his next video about ''Magic'', Ben rants about a card he firmly believes should be banned from the game for being overpowered, immune to most counters and nearly impossible to remove from the board.; [[https://scryfall.com/card/roe/73/jwari-scuttler Jwari Scuttler]], a 2/3 blue crab costing two generic and one blue mana. If you're unfamiliar with magic, Jwari Scuttler is so generic that most players won't bother with it, and is on the lower end of that mana cost's power scale. Ben just hates it because Will at some point used it to win a game.

* It's a bit sad to watch Ben try to come up with something good to say about D&D 4th Edition, but it's absolutely hilarious that the only non-backhanded compliment he came up with was that the books have nice formatting.

** In general the party keeps treating Asiago as an innocent little girl who needs positive reinforcement, [[CuteButPsycho even though Asiago is a pyromaniac, has set multiple innocent people (including children) on fire, at one point was advocating cannibalism]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and has committed fraud]].

--->'''Samurai:''' See, there you go! They trust you now, because of me! That was my entire plan the whole time! ''You're welcome''.

* The picture above is taken from a video where Ben is followed around by a small pink personification of his anxiety. It seems like it is genuinely trying to help Ben, but all it does is stress him out. It even tries to get him to sleep better by playing the drums for him!

*** Ben doesn't seem to have a clear concept of what cocaine actually does, so everyone effected by it just generically acts like they're "on drugs". This stands out the most when they use it to get some angry villagers to ''mellow out''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrYkSM4OG4U "Too Many Pets"]]. A party member waits until night and infiltrates a fortress guarded by dogs in an attempt to be a dog whisperer. She finds out that the dogs turn into hellhounds at night, not that it stops her from attempting to tame a hellhound.[[spoiler:..and succeeding.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHVO0NxQ5oQ "An Abserd-ly Difficult Mission"]]. Lennithon, a fully-grown adult blue dragon that serves the role of the cult's muscle shows up...but after tanking several sword attacks, gets hit by a single arrow and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere flies off in frustration]]. And, of course, the return of Abserd, who somehow became mayor of the town.

* D&D youtube channel [=Taking20=] uploaded a video on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhYPxSlTSlI "Dumbest D&D 5e Character of All Time"]], which amounted to a character that [[MasterOfNone multiclassed into every class at a low level]]. Since Ben [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZCIh_3b5K8 published his version of this idea]] [[ItsBeenDone seven months beforehand]], almost every comment on [=Taking20=]'s video mentions Abserd in some way.

** Ben's ''Waterdeep Dragon Heist'' campaign [[https://youtu.be/O0HA0FtHUOs?t=49 takes a turn for the bizarre]] when half the party splits off and [[SequenceBreaking blunders their way into the final fight]] of a hideout by blowing a hole in the wall, and confronting Nihiloor the [[{{Cthulhumanoid}} mindflayer]]...who has a rapier, a swashbuckling hat and acrobatic skills. Turns out Ben was reading the stat block of a Nimblewright, the [[ItMakesSenseInContext swashbuckling robot]] right next to Nihiloor in the book.

* Ben ordering sandwiches, one of which is light and vegetable, and the other cheesy and meaty with a tub of dipping lard on the side. When Ben tries to claim he is having the first one, the employee simply tells him that he doesn't care nearly as much as he thinks he does.

* It's a bit sad to watch Ben try to come up with something good to say about D&D 4th Edition, but it's absolutely hillarious that the only non-backhanded compliment he came up with was that the books have nice formatting.

** On a meta level, Ben reveals he was less than thrilled to see all the comments from viewers saying he should have sacrified Garo's "silver tongue" to the hags as he obviously wasn't getting any use out of it. The DM admits he wanted the same thing just to see how bad things would go.

* Meanwhile, during the tense situation, Gouda goes up to Strahd...and asks the name of his horse, because she still doesn't know it and fells bad about calling the Nightmare a nickname in her head. He ends up having to spell Beuceaphalus out for her. It is possibly the only non-BlackComedy moment Strahd has had thus far.

Ben is recounting RPG stories. Sure, most of them come from Dungeons and Dragons, but there are also stories from Pathfinder, Traveller, Deadlands, and Call of Cthulhu. As such, expect things to go off the rails incredibly quickly.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUA5aCOF3y0 DM.exe has crashed]]: Michele, who's ''permanently invisible'' at this point, needs to sneak into a school. He uses a massive, foldable boat to knock them out and break through a wall. You can hear Ben struggling to keep himself from laughing.
