What are some comedic encounters/scenarios you've thought of or played through?

>New guy has an enemy recruitment skill in a fuckaround game
>Let him decide who's in the dark hole below them and try and turn them over because fuck it it's his first time
>Manages to summon the ghost of Macho Man Randy Savage
>Tear ass all over the ruins while every player does their worst MMRS impression and derail the whole game

A lone AI on a space station invites the party to seemingly sadistic, but actually benign game show

In my kung fu game I had the party run into a group of mischievous monkey spirits who had fallen under the sway of a cursed crown that made them slightly more intelligent but also made them want to conquer china.

It was meant to be a joke filler encounter, it almost turned into a TPK and now the word "Scatapult" is perma-banned in my gaming group.

We unintentionally took a throw away enchanter npc and turned him into Lem from Better off Ted. The DM thought this was so funny he gave the guy an actual name and goals and now we get to look forward to finding out what he did with a crate of rats given to him by the party rogue for some scrolls of disintegration and plans to work on custom poisons.

The party is asked to deal with the rat problem in the basement of the inn. The rats are sentient and have established a small town in the basement.

That's hilarious. I have to use that some time.

Had a small session with my group where I decide on the spot to do a bandit encounter because the party willingly went down an alley, they were ambushed by a handful of cockney bandits that shit talked a lot.

This resulted in basically a giant insult fest going back and forth in stupid accents about who’s mother was more of a farm animal and who would fuck what.

A thug with a heart of gold inadvertently boosted himself high up the underworld's ranks. He asks the party to get him out of it without needing the witness protection program.

I played a generic super chad barbarian in a pathfinder campaign, i leanered trap sense and instead of using it to detect booby traps he would have all this trannies fawn over me and if i rolled low for trap sense i would have to romance trannies

This was only made comedic due to the gods of chance, but still.
>playing VtR
>Several sessions earlier, the Gangrel player refused safe haven to Daeva player because he had fucked up
>As a result, the next few sessions were Hell for the player, as he robbed, murdered indiscriminately, and slept in the sewers.
>Swore he would get revenge
>Eventually manages to trick bad guy into thinking Gangrel was the source of all his problems
>Bad guy sent Daeva in with a team to kill Gangrel
>Gangrel's Hellhound was killed, his ghouls held hostage, and he is tied to a chair with several guns and swords pointed his way
>Daeva finally has his revenge
>Decides to enjoy it
>Gloats as he is about to behead Gangrel's ghoul lover
>Rolls
>critical failure
>Hits one of the bad guys mooks instead
>Tries to prove his loyalty by trying to kill Gangrel
>Mooks just shoot the shit out of him thinking he was trying to attack them.
>He dies
>Mooks flee from scene
>Gangrel gets untied by ghoul, wondering what the fuck that was all about.

Not exactly what OP was looking for, but it was one of the funniest scenes I've GM'd

Critical failures of this nature are cancer

I normally agree with you, but it felt deserved because of how much the Daeva player was gloating.
Plus the mook was holding her in place, it wasn't like he was across the room or anything

My players had pissed off what was basically the Kobold Illuminati and had a pair of kobold assassins chasing them for awhile. Initially they'd pop out of random fake papermache boulders and trees. Later when the party gained control of a tavern/inn, the kobolds would show up in elaborate costumes, more often to eat there than ambush because the PC's hired the best chef in the kingdom to run the kitchen.

Hitting a restrained target should be an insta-hit
Shit GM/10

Yeah in retrospect I should have done it differently, though he did have like no points in any physical skills IIRC

However, it did lead to a very enjoyable rivalry between those two player that lasted for several sessions more.

Stop having fun wrong

Stealing this, can only imagine them getting a bunch of prefight shit talking going, only for it to get out of hand, with passers by stopping to watch and an enterprising food vendor setting up shop nearby. Months later it becomes a weekly thing, people from all corners of the city gathering to watch a bunch of bards and thugs have a verbal throwdown.

On another note, once we played an online megatropolis game, basically a D&D campaign confined to a mega city. The DM let us help flesh it out by providing a wiki that we could use to add notable NPCs and other grouos. Us players named all the group's after not bands and pop artists. We named a gang of back alleys thugs the backstreet boys, there was a group of female merchants nicknamed the spice girls, things like that. We had a blast writing that wiki.

Spending all my fate points to do an acrobatic act over an exploding catwalk in Artificer Armor because I didn't want to reroll my kind of rare weapon during acquisitions while the Profit Factor was temporarily lowered.

>Playing as dwarven fighter based on Hulk Hogan (not related)
>My party comes across a river with a goblin encampment on the other side (the objective)
>Not a bridge in sight
>lightbulb.jpg
>"I'll throw my rope across the river at a tree for a bridge, brother"
>nat 20
>rope goes through tree
>we slaughter the whole camp
I probably shaved off 15 extra minutes with that move alone.

A PC went searching through the trash once outside a building to find a necklace or something, and found a homeless man. I did this jokingly without thinking, but they demanded to know more and kept asking the man questions. I tried making him reluctant to talk, but high rolls and charisma forced me to make a backstory about this man.

Thus, Vladim the grand trash wizard, honorary member of the guild of trash wizards was born.

I like this character, and I'm sure the guild of trash wizards can offer some interesting quests.

My players in Dark Heresy once hid in a janitor closet to get out of line of sight of some cultists, and ran into the janitor, who promptly informed them they weren't allowed in there. They ended up handing him several Thrones to let them stay.

>Party member defects to his god, gets turned into a giant golem thing
>Party elf has sword from opposing god to kill nascent deity, goes for a duel
>Gotta distract party member former bro
>Spend entire edge-of-seat dramatic final battle using FREEDOM powers to blow off bro's limbs and taunting him to keep him off the elf while they have overblown anime bitchfight
>Nature vs. machine showdown with an angry golem chasing a midget around in the background, with repeated screams of "I'LL CRUSH YOU TO PASTE!" and "GIMP! GIMP! GIMP!"

Sounds like Charlie Work

The set up to a Rogue Trader campaign:

>hired to escort cargo for one end of the galaxy to the other
>haven't heard from captain in days
>kick down her door
>multiple bodies worth of blood, no bodies
>message written in blood on the far wall
>none of us can read Gothic

Evil spell caster's familiar can crawl into a suit of armor golem and pilot it.

Serves as a midboss.
