I really loved the whole The Reason circular conversation in Starship Titanic.
Player: (asks about something the AI doesn't understand) Deskbot: I can't tell you. Player: Why not? Deskbot: Because of... the Reason. Player: What is the Reason? Deskbot: I can't tell you. Etcetera, etcetera. |

It's damp. It's yellow. It appeared right after you peed behind the truck... ...what could it be!?

The opening scenes of Sam N' Max. I love the line: "Throw it (a bomb) out the window, Sam! There's nothing but strangers out there!"

Maybe not the funniest, but one of the funniest: in LSL5, in the intro, Larry's employer talks to him and then the narration window says: "you understood many words from that sentence"

I can't remember the lines exactly, but it was in Broken Sword 2 when you're trying to get into the tribal village to speak with the chief, and you have to put stuff in the box and give it to him to get him to talk to you. I remember putting stuff in like Nico's underwear, and the guards always came back with something funny to say.

Guybrush Threepwood: [singing] Oh... there's... a... monkey in my pocket / And he's stealing all my change / His stare is blank and glassy / I suspect that he's deranged!
[Guybrush meets a talking skull] Murray: I'm a powerful demonic force! I'm the harbinger of your doom! And the forces of darkness will applaud me as I STRIDE through the gates of hell carrying your head on a pike! Guybrush Threepwood: Stride? Murray: All right then, roll! ROLL through the gates of hell. Must you take the fun out of everything?

Sam: "Words like 'big' and 'large' only begin to describe this"
Max: "'Stupid' and 'inane' are the words I like to use" Gary Owens: "It doesn't smell great, but it smells better than you" Guybrush: "What's with all the dead animals?" Ozzie: "I like having them around. They remind me where I came from" Guybrush: "Burbank?" |

Hmm.
Funniest lines, there's a lot of them, I can't pick just one. But off the top of my head, I've always liked Brink's Geek Insults 101 bits in The Dig: "Come here, you phlegm-carapaced slime-faced mucus-brained furry-legged abductor of luminously intelligent but pulchritudinous Earth women!" (pause) "Low, you idiot! Why are you standing there?" "I'm still trying to figure out what you said." And, of course, the follow-up: "Come on, you ponderous exoskeleton... you cocoon-eating lobster-faced cave-dwelling arthropoidal alimentary sphincter muscle!" But then, I love geekifying insults. Funniest *moment*, however, is easy for me... it's the behind-the-wall fight scene in Secret of Monkey Island. I've always been rather fond of literary moments that play heavily on the audience's imagination (like the Grue, for instance), and IMHO this is the best funny moment of that sort I've seen in a game. Not only that, but it was a brilliant twist on using the SCUMM parser text line. Is there anyone out there who didn't fall over laughing seeing things like "Use staple remover on tremendous dangerous-looking yak"? Peace & Luv, Liz |

I think Murray beats everything I 've seen. That's humor.

Myst was once referenced to in the Simpsons, in the episode Treehouse Of Horror VI (episode #134).

Hmmm... I have quite a few:
SIMON THE SORCERER: Simon: Sorry, I was just looking for the restroom, I mean toilet. (looks towards screen) Well, that'll keep the Yanks happy anyway. Simon: It is impossible to strike up an intelligent conversation with and inanimate object. Gerald: Just wait for the next game, kid. Max: Game. Yeah. Gerald: I'm gonna, like, turn you into an 'andbag. Max: 'Andbag. Yeah. Gerald: Stop, like, repeating everyhting I say. Max: Say. Yeah. Woodworm: No-one ever thinks a woodworm has anything to say. Racism, I tell ya. Pure bloody racism! GRIM FANDANGO: Police Chief Bogen: Funny. I always thought that bees came in two colours: Yellow and Black. But you seem all RED to me, my friend. Glottis: Before, we scraped along the ground like rats, but now we soar, like eagles... like EAGLES... ON POGO STICKS! MONKEY ISLAND: Guybrush: What is this? Midget wrestling? Guybrush: Maybe we'd avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange. Van Helgen: Um... doorhinge? |

Manny: "So, your not really a secretary?"
Eva: "I'm a spy Manny." Manny: "Well...that's the last time we use that temp agency."

Well, I was thinking of the skeleton dance in Monkey Island 2, but now that it's been mentioned I have to admit the entire scene in Secret of Monkey Island in Elaine's mansion is even more hilarious. I especially loved the dialogue tree at the end.

The funniest lines, I think, are the various descriptions that Tex Murphy has for the artwork scattered around. One I remember particularly well from The Pandora Directive was "I call this one 'Sam and Max hit a ditch'."

Heh heh, I remember that episode! It has been only aired once in Finland if I remember correctly. It was weird to see a 3d animated Homer in a real world environment .

"Stupid, stupid Rat Creatures!", as uttered by Fone Bone in Out from Boneville was rather funny too...
