Line #55 Funny/Roommates


1	''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' IS a {{Comedy}} WebComic. It's funny most of the times but sometimes it's just hilarious.
2	----
3	* The running gag of the hated fruit basket being used as a welcoming gift. Made better when [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Aziraphale]] is excited to receive it, to Crowley's chagrin.
4	** And then Ashe [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/journal/Recursive-Error-344654471 received]] the dreaded fruit basket in RealLife. TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou indeed.
5	* Karaoke. Oh yeah.
6	** Especially when Norrington is forced to sing "A Pirate's Life for Me," snaps, and lunges for Legolas, screaming [[ActorAllusion "Have at thee, Turner!"]]
7	** Also Erik singing "[[{{Irony}} I feel so pretty]]". (And James accusing Jareth with manipulating the karaoke machine. His reaction? Basically: "[[NotProven You can't prove it.]]")
8	* Movie Night, thank you very much.
9	--> '''Norrington:''': "Just because I don't like to talk about it doesn't mean I didn't rock."
10	--> '''Javert''' to '''Jareth''': You were [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath monologued to death]]?
11	* After the full drama and meta of the ''Dark!Jareth arc'' [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-183-Parent-Trap-256823412 this]] ([[ParentWithNewParamour flirty parents]]) [[MoodWhiplash hit HARD]].
12	* Jareth's [[MalfunctionMalady cold]].
13	** All random magics where hilarious but the guest appearance of [[AuthorAvatar Ashe]] is maybe the best. [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-218-Self-Insert-279724525 So this is Ashe.]]
14	* The first page of the ''Zombie arc''. [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-186-Options-259157791 What could it be?]]
15	* Erik's exclamations. "Sweet sustained sonatas!" "Sweet treble clef!" And more.
16	* In what [[WordOfGod Word of Ashe]] acknowledges is a fandom-specific joke, Aziraphel and Crowley fend zombies off from the [[Series/DoctorWho TARDIS]]. The Doctor's response? "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E10Blink The angels have the phone box.]][[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=72#/d4b9nsr ..and this is a good thing. Huh.]]"
17	* Also, the Doctor admitting that James is being [[PlotArmor protected]] not just by being dead in Canon, but by the greatest force in the world: "[[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality Narrative Convenience]]."
18	* Jareth's hilarious [[HeroWithAnFInGood fail]] [[VillainBallMagnet level]] in anything helpful. With [[HarsherInHindsight added]] [[{{NightmareFuel/Roommates}} Nightmare Fuel]] and [[{{TearJerker/Roommates}} Tear Jerker]] since the [[spoiler:''[[WhamEpisode Dark!Jareth arc]]''.]]
19	* [[spoiler:Mortal!]]Jareth having his father's [[spoiler: (The Erlkönig's)]] [[PostmodernMagik phone number on speed-dial]], labeled simply as "dad". Sounds mundane? It is, but we are talking about an [[TheFairFolk old-school fae]] [[SupernaturalElite royal]] here.
20	* James pointing out that a reunion conversation should probably wait until the villain isn't ''standing right there.''
21	* Mr. King [[spoiler:aka the Erlkönig]] telling Jadis "No wonder you were beaten by children" after [[EvilCannotComprehendGood she fails to see the value of love.]]
22	** And he also calls her ''[[AffectionateNickname my Snowflake]]''.
23	* As noted by many Website/DeviantArt commentators, [[http://my.deviantart.com/messages/#/d51qvhf on page 40 of]] ''Such Stuff as Dreams are Made On'', Mr. King goes from [[MagnificentBastard smug and teasing]] to [[OhCrap downright shocked]] in ''two panels'' at Jareth's sudden [[TookALevelInBadass jump in badass level]].
24	** Could also be that he just [[UnderestimatingBadassery underestimated]] his son though. (That's pretty easy considering how many HiddenBadass tropes the guy has.)
25	* [=NyanCat=] vesus ComicBook/TheMightyThor. Just. [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-275-Game-323693208 This]].
26	* [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony]] lifting a hand in the air and proclaiming [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-277-BOOM-326416723 "FOR SCIENCE!"]] after he and Erik blow up Eric and Jareth's apartment...while Jareth, Jamie, and Javert wonder [[NoOneShouldSurviveThat how the duo even survived that]].
27	* Jareth describing why he doesn't want to host TheWildHunt:
28	-->'''Jareth''': It's not a "honor" for me to accept! I am in enough trouble with Sarah on regular basis already without ''having your magical men's club running rampant in the common area''.
29	** Erik's {{Wall of Text}} in the same comic.
30	* Javert and Valean's reaction's to the new Les Mis castings--especially it's effect on their heights.
31	** And then Ashe gave Valjean the power to swap between both his older and newer forms whenever he wants to be 4" taller. [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/#/d5ts8b6 Javert's expression is priceless.]]
32	** Even better if you consider that [[WordOfSaintPaul Word of Pika]] in GND gave a similar ability to Javert of all people (he used it once to be John Malkovich).
33	* Erik's [[{{Nosebleed}} reaction]] to [[spoiler: Mag's]]... advances. Particularly with all the drama and buildup.
34	* Some WordOfGod ones from [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-312-Fear-367171046 Roommates 312 - Fear]]:
35	--> '''Ashe''': Javert does lock the door, but they can't put up wards strong enough to keep out the Erlkonig without also keeping Jareth out, [[WithFriendsLikeThese and no matter how much they're tempted to do that... well, Jareth's still one of theirs]].
36	--> '''Ashe''': ...a man should be able to wander his apartment in the middle of the night and not have to worry about whether [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu eldritch horrors are going to comment on his choice of nightwear]].
37	* Erik gets snippy with the student who got the role of the Phantom the school production of Love Never Dies, despite the kid just coming him for advice. Her derides the student as a pretty boy who never had to wait for anything. [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Jack Frost calmly corrects Erik that he waited 300 years for something once.]] Erik looks like he went into shock.
38	* When James gets a job as a history teacher at the nearby college, he is dismayed to realize that everyone signed up for [[Franchise/IndianaJones Dr. Jones's]] class instead of his. When he meets with the others at lunch, we get this:
39	--> '''James:''' What does Dr. Jones have that I don't have?
40	--> '''Erik:''' A [[KnightInSourArmor tough-guy exterior over]] [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Ophidophobia]] and an [[WellDoneSonGuy inferiority complex regarding his father]], [[LoveableRogue covered by enough charisma to drown all reason around him]].
41	--> '''Gandalf:''' Creator/HarrisonFord.
42	--> '''Javert:''' [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull A fourth film]].
43	* Legolas' expression at the end of page 4 of ''King's War''. Sure it's a terrifying, tragic moment...but his OhCrap face is ''hilarious''.
44	* Erik and James talking about how James will get to the Goblin Kingdom. James unwittingly teleports there, and has a shellshocked look in reaction to the few seconds he spent in the Labyrinth.
45	--> '''James:''' ...I've ''seen'' things.
46	** At then end of the arc we have thr big "we did it!" scene and...James looks like he's going to kiss Sarah? Nope, they both look stunned, he sees Eponine and kisses her. Pretty much a big "whoops, wrong brunette" moment.
47	* The fact that Phillipa tried to wish away her little brother... while she was watching the movie ''Labyrinth'' and living in the same building as the Goblin King.
48	** In addition, Erik has a new title: [[ItMakesSenseInContext Bookcase]] [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-466-To-Sender-496354270 Ghost]]
49	* [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-487-ART-528085498 Someone]] apparently decided to hang from the catwalk.
50	** It turns out to be Erik. Who didn't fall while dangling off the catwalk, but ''did'' trip on the way down because someone left a cord on the ladder. [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-488-Health-529505560 So when he gets dragged off to get medical attention, it turns out that it isn't Dr. House waiting this time]]. Instead, they get [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Baymax]].]]
51	--> '''Erik''': "[[ScrewThisImOutOfHere Yeah, no, it's not that bad. I'm gonna go back to class]]."
52	* "[[http://bookwormgal.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-490-New-Media-532612998 The video games made it in]]."
53	* What happens when [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Hiro Hamada]] takes lessons from [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]]? [[BuffySpeak Giant punchy]] [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-493-Responsibile-536781789 robot]]! ([[Film/PacificRim Stacker Pentecost]] seems pleased, though.)
54	* [[Series/SleepyHollow Ichabod Crane]] and [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean James]] are [[spoiler:cousins]]. [[http://bookwormgal.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-497-Family-Feud-542872413 Mrs. Norrington explains]] why neither man recognized each other. And then the Erlking shows up...
55	* [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-504-Scholarship-557398144 The solution]] to the disruptive behavior of the [[Theatre/WestSideStory Jets and the Sharks]] on campus that [[Creator/DCComics Amanda Waller]] devises: [[spoiler:She gives them a scholarship and enrolls them in classes]].
56	* Blank, the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Concept]] that has been attacking numerous characters for several pages, goes after an unsuspecting Javert... [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-548-Yuck-625326041 and leaves him alone with its only reaction being a standard "yuck" face.]]
