* The "well-oiled machine"-scene from the prequel ''On the Origin of [=PCs=]''. [[DisasterDominoes Due to prepared actions, Belkar charges a Kobold, and misses; Haley's prepared action is to shoot the first thing that charges, so she shoots Belkar; Elan's prepared action is]] [[EpicFail to flank attack the first wounded creature, and so attacks Belkar; and V's prepared action is to cast Lightning Bolt against the first four creatures lined up towards him or her...]]
-->'''Durkon:''' [[RapidFireComedy On tha plus side, I think tha other kobolds died from laughter.]]

'''Tarquin:''' Quite the stumper, isn't it?\\
'''Vaarsuvius:''' I should avoid casting any spells tonight, if only to give the laws of physics time to cry alone in the corner.\\
'''Empress:''' If anyone needs me, I will be up here on my throne, '''being awesome'''!
* There's a certain sadistic hilarity to Tarquin's irritation when his plan to impress Elan goes wrong. Said plan involved Elan's name being set up in gigantic flaming letters on the mountainside, which does impress Elan until Tarquin [[MoralEventHorizon reveals that the letters are made of escaped slaves being burned at the stake]]. While Elan continues to stare in horror, Tarquin grumbles to himself, "Crap, the three prisoners at the bottom of the E burned out early. Now it looks like I just [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flan really like custard]]."
* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0761.html Elan and Tarquin's duel]] is possibly the largest HurricaneOfPuns in the series.

** After a few comics building up the gladiatorial champion of the Empire of Blood, we finally get to see who it is. It's the {{Music/Queen}} reference that really sells it.
** And Roy's reaction is priceless. He goes from not wanting to even fight to this:

-->'''[[spoiler:Thog: thog]] says, "fudge the police!"'''
* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0789.html "Also, His Popularity Has Waned"]]:

'''Tarquin:''' Well, you'll miss the big fight, but you do what you need to do.\\
'''Haley:''' Come on, V. And bring the cat, just in case.\\
'''Tarquin:''' ...Huh.
** [[ParodyRetcon "Parody is protected speech."]]
* Elan effectively ''weaponizes'' his ContractualGenreBlindness. Elan expresses surprise that Nale is alive. Nale points out that [[NeverFoundTheBody a villain "dying" off-panel]] means they're certain to come back. Elan replies that of course [[GenreSavvy he knows that]], but the trope requires [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat the hero to believe the villain is dead]] for it to work:
-->'''Nale:''' [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0793.html I'm giving myself a migraine trying to understand the amount of willful ignorance that requires!]]\\
'''Elan:''' First blood: ELAN!
* Two for Vaarsuvius [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0800.html in the same strip:]]
-->'''V:''' I may be in error, but I believe the appropriate proclamation is, "Sneak Attack, bitch."\\\
'''V:''' I believe he just ceased his struggles against my mental commands to shoot you.
* Elan: "[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0801.html Wow, this whole "identical twin" thing has never worked out in my favor before!]]" Look closely at the next-to-last panel: He's handing her a sword. Go Elan!
* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0806.html "Holy Enunciation"]]:
** Durkon, noticing Elan being dropped a considerable height by Sabine, prepares to cast "Cleric's Feather Fall", more commonly known as "Heal".
** Not to mention how he can't cast a spell because his god and his helpers can't make out his accent.
* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0809.html "Except Maybe the Undead"]]
--> '''Roy:''' I guess the question is, where is Vaarsuvius now if not out here ?
--> '''Blackwing:''' Banished to another plane. Also, Elan to Haley to the palace to warn Durkon.
--> '''Belkar (slightly freaked out):''' Who said that ?
--> '''Roy:''' That bird. I think it's the one who's been on V's shoulder these past two weeks.
--> '''Belkar:''' It can talk ?
--> '''Roy:''' No probably not. I think it's some sort of magical message that was triggered when I asked were V was, like a Magic Mouth spell. Those were V's words, just coming out of the bird's beak.
--> '''Blackwing:''' You are both ignorant cretins.
--> '''Roy:''' See ?
--> '''Belkar:''' Yeah, I guess your'e right.
* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0819.html Three ingredients]]: One DangerouslyGenreSavvy dictator, one egotistical, invisible idiot, and a Ring of True Seeing, and you have the recipe for a pointed "Gotcha" glare and a massive and hilarious OhCrap.
* And two strips later, Nale complaining that his dad's GenreSavvy didn't work in regards to Elan:
-->'''Nale:''' Sure. ''You're'' the one who taught me that bards are ''underpowered.''\\
'''Tarquin:''' They are! [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy With their mastery of the narrative structure]], they ''should'' be ruling the entire cosmos by now!
* At the end of [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0821.html "Raiders of the Lost Plot Arc"]], Tarquin makes a dramatic statement.
-->'''Tarquin:''' ...Well?\\
'''Nale:''' I'm not saying, "Dunh dunh DUNH!" for you.\\
'''Tarquin:''' That is not how I raised you, young man!
* Nale has created a new Linear Guild, but still needs a [[LizardFolk kobold...]]
-->'''[[BeleagueredBureaucrat Chancellor Kilkil:]]''' ...Why are you all looking at me like that?
* In an example of BlackComedy, [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0825.html Redcloak hires some "interior decorators" for the resistance base]]:
-->'''Redcloak:''' By which I mean they'll mostly be decorating with your interiors.
* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0832.html "Loose Ends"]]:
** Another example of BlackComedy from our favorite goblin, there's his nonchalant admission to [[spoiler:killing Tsukiko]]. What really sells it is how confused he looks at everyone else's shocked reactions.
** That whole page is a good example of the classic Team Evil comedy we've come to love (especially the Demon-Roach comments in panels 4 and 8).
-->'''Xykon:''' Hmmm, don't think this change of heart means I'm letting you grow your eye back.\\
'''Redcloak:''' It never crossed my mind.\\
'''Xykon:''' Good! I like you this way. It's like we have a grumpy pirate on the team.\\
'''Demon-Roach:''' And thus began the Legend of Arrrghcloak!
* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0835.html Belkar's revenge on Yukyuk for hurting Mr. Scruffy.]] Also the fact that V and Belkar seem to be totally in sync with each other for it.
* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0837.html The Order makes it to the Windy Canyon!]]
-->'''Roy:''' So, let's see... divinations aren't working and flight is being blocked by the wind, which we can't fix in any way. do any of you have any magic that will actually HELP us find Girard ''at all?''\\

'''Elan:''' ''(singing)'' Search, search, search, search the canyon for Girard's Gate!
* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0838.html "Either Way, Really"]]:
** The conversation between Roy and Haley in the last three panels. Now, bear in mind the page's title while reading that.
** There's also V and Durkon's list of the ways human senses are inferior to the other player races.
* The Order is trying to find Girard's gate, but [[spoiler:the Draketooths are dead and unwilling to be resurrected]]. So they try to use Speak With Dead [[spoiler:on one of the Draketooths]] to find out where the gate is. The problem is, the spell allows the use of LiteralGenie for answers.
-->'''Roy:''' Where in Windy canyon is Girard's gate?\\
'''Corpse:''' Around... the rift...\\
'''Roy:''' OK, then, where is Girard's rift?\\
'''Corpse:''' It lay... between... Girard's... buttcheeks.\\
'''Elan:''' The tragic loss to the field of ass comedy diminishes us all.
* Roy figures out that [[spoiler:the Thog they're fighting isn't Thog]] and tries to take off the enemy's helmet; only to find a person ''wearing a mask with the word'' '''''NOPE!''''' ''printed on it.''
-->'''[[spoiler:Tarquin]]:''' Totally worth wearing a mask under my helmet for two days.
