* 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.

* Garo's patron warns him that Strahd freely scry wherever his name is spoken. That in itself isn't funny, but the party freaks out on realizing that it isn't actually a secret and they'd been warned by multiple different NPC characters only to completely ignore it.

The rest of the party leaves it all up to Ben who, true to character, completely misinterprets Strahd's promise to not kill the rest. The DM enjoys making this worse for Ben, like describing an adorable werewolf cub being menaced by a thrall.

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.
