* [[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.

* When statting out [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron]], Ben gave him ranks in Deceive, Craft, Notice (perception), and basically made him an evil blacksmith. Which [[Literature/TheSilmarillion pretty much describes Sauron's character perfectly]].

-->'''Guy''': Hmmm... This guy's good.

* 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]] [[OlderThanTheyThink seven months beforehand]], almost every comment on [=Taking20=]'s video mentions Abserd in some way.

** After springing a trap, Ben decides to test if it's "Magical healing fire". Turns out it is.

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUOyaevNQJY "D&D Stories: funny moments from my campaign"]], two of the players had tried to hide in the kitchen, but kept getting jumped by guards, and had to kill them, and hide their corpses in a closet. Eventually, they ran out of space, and had to get... Creative. They cut up the guards, and put them wherever. They escaped later, and the two other players that hadn't been there tried to hide in the kitchen.

* Every time the Tortle wizard shows up in the Malikar campaign, the players insist on calling him [[{{Franchise/KungFuPanda}} Oogway]], much to his increasing frustration.
* The defective Sword of Warning that shows up in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM96lCbhC3o "My players LOSE the final fight"]], which vaguely warns the players about anything bad about to happen, even if it's something as trivial as stubbing their toe.

** They actually managed to play Sauron pretty in-character, everything considered. An obstructive, micromanaging bureaucrat.

** 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.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHVO0NxQ5oQ "An Abserd-ly Difficult Mission"]]. Lenathon, 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]].

* In the second Malikar video. For context, two of the players had tried to hide in the kitchen, but kept getting jumped by guards, and had to kill them, and hide their corpses in a closet. Eventually, they ran out of space, and had to get... Creative. They cut up the guards, and put them wherever. Eventually, they escaped.
