What memes has your gaming group spawned yet?

>”MY SON!” yelled as loud as earthly possible.
The ranger and the lizardman bard were trying to bluff with minuses during the raid of Martha Stewart’s cookie factory. It worked only because the DM and everyone else were in fits of laughter over our typically edgy ranger and stoic monk going full yelling ham.

>Donkeys
One game our particularly infamous for being weird (but not Magical Realm because of how absurd it is) player had his PC enter a donkey show for cash. Some of the party followed in fits of giggles. The ninja put cayenne in the lube, the intelligent familiar of the with used it for blackmail, and the sorceress had to roll insanity.
She got ‘obsession with target’, which was donkeys. The whole thing was a quick and funny affair of two dice rolls, but it had lasting comedy for that game and the rest.
Like how the party only bought donkeys for moving things around.

>Deadly horse
Same game. The barbarian’s horse kept on critting on bites anytime an enemy ran by. It soon got a higher killcount than the barbarian, inflated by the DM letting it kill anything that ran from us.
We later ended up in a cursed area overnight. The horse became a carnivore.
The barbarian, a prince in his tribe, named it nobility.

>"FAIR SHARE" and "DESIGNATED EVIL"
Our party had a golem ally with an inflexible moral compass.
>"...as expected!"
The catchphrase of one of our players, to be used when facing the unexpected.
>"(insert name here), we meet again!",
Even when it's their first meeting, born from when one of our players would assume any mysterious stranger to be the same guy.

Elven pheromones. Also the 19-year-old female Wizard having higher strength than the 24-year-old male Warlock.

The party will always do the shuffle to get to a location if possible.

Any time the ninja has to make a jump that requires an athletics check, the party will (usually drunk) chant "Nin-ja flip, nin-ja flip, nin-ja flip..." and tap their fists on the table as if they are actually excited about him making another roll to clear a barricade or whatever he is doing.

They have gained access to a stolen military mech that they have named Metal Gear Breakfast.

Calling the party the Skeleton Keys, because I had NPCs say it was a stupid name
This is my just punishment, I guess

The only real meme in our group is never letting my character do important checks because I always critfail on crucial rolls and always crit success on meaningless shit.

>"What if elk?"
From an utterly indecipherable statement made by our most indecipherable player. Perhaps the most important question in the universe.

>Are we calling in-jokes memes now?
In jokes are nothing but memes.
A meme is an idea that spreads from person to person, and is therefore most of humanity's method of shared communications. Jokes of every sort are memes. Memetics is a super-category that contains jokes, ideals, philosophy, and pretty much everything other than mathematics.

Wolves
Our team had a bad first mission against a single wolf and the fear has lingered ever since, despite having since slayed dragons and gods.

Quite a few...

>Disapproving Fenyor
Fenyor being my character, a warrior/bard who was the only Good character in a party of Neutral/Slightly Evil guys. What happened in the end was that they all became good. Great campaign, shame it just blew off.

>Delizia invented capitalism/founded Switzerland
Delizia being the halfling rogue of the group whose only interest was money to an extreme extent. She could had accumulated so much money she could buy several cities over and over, and was generally the "baddest"
among us all with reckless stealing and plundering. She also became good in the end.

>Shar failed her roll in rolling dice.
Simply put, the unluckiest player I've ever met. She more or less got a critical failure twice per session, one day she rolled a total of 18 ones in the same session.

>Scrying cannot be cast at this moment.
The party cleric who wished to fetch us info with Scrying, but always forgot exactly how the spell worked and interrupted the game to read the rules. After a while, we didn't allow him to try anymore.

>Delizia throws a banana
When something says or does something stupid, Delizia got an attack of opportunity with a banana that hit them right in the head from wherever. No damage except for your dignity.

I have more, maybe will post them later.

>Quick [spellcaster], use [spell]!
>I'm not that kind of wizard.

With any kind of resistance or damage reduction in play:
>You take 12 damage.
>You mean 6 damage?

Before every chest.
>I sure hope it's not a mimic.
Opens chest without checking at all.

DM rolls a series of 1's or 20's.
>Why did I think rolling publicly was a good idea?

>party talks to NPC reading a forbidden magic book in a library
>party leaves except the rogue, who tries to slit his throat
>gets blasted to 0 hp
>party rescues him and backs away from NPC
> rogue survives and is then dubbed Mage Slayer

Also:
>NO CONSEQUENCES
>Can we pay the onion price?
>Need to kill some gnolls
>Neck-snapping maids
>It's what my character would do
>I thought you was corn
>Can we please kill him? He's clearly an evil dick
>Help yourselves to anything in the basement
>Shake down that priest, he might be carrying ideals
>Alsaraq, killer of god
>I ready an action to roleplay a politician
>It's the logical thing to do
>The buoyant cock

>I immediately regret this decision.

"Surprise church inspection, your doors are not nearly sturdy enough!"

From a very old Dark Heresy campaign, where we managed to crash an APC through a church door, into a den of cultists. In the silence that followed I blurted that out and it's pretty much stuck as an in joke for any vaguely similar situation, including when the breaking and entering doesn't work "Ah, everything is up to regulation"

Making puns whenever a word includes "Fill" because that was my old character's name and the whole party and the DM love the shit out of him to the point of there now being a sub-plot solo adventure going on where he got revived without any of the party members knowing.

Shit, my DM even wants to do a one-shot where everyone plays clones of that dude just with different abilities.

>*sighs heavily*

>>The Autism Box.

Our gaming group has a bunch of bar-dice cups, you know, the ones wrapped in leather with felt on the inside.
>>Be me, high INT, low WIS.

One group, we didn't have enough cups, and a buddy offered me a cardboard box, about the same size as a cereal bowl.

If the box had been bigger, I'd LIKE to think I would have realized what he INTENDED me to use the box for, which was to throw my dice into it rather than have them roll all over the floor. (gaming in living room rather than at table, using tv trays for sheets and such.)

Instead, the box is just small enough that my brain associates it with "Replacement Bar Cup".

Despite how it sounds, I wasn't retarded enough to slam the box upside down on the tv-tray in front of me. Instead, I shake that box like I'm making a martini, or rather like popcorn because every now and then a few dice would pop up out of the open lid.

A friend looks over and sees what I'm doing.

The game had to take a break for an hour because EVERYONE started laughing like lunatics, one almost fainted he was laughing so hard.

And thus began the tale of "The Autism Box" because that was a moment where I went "Full Autist".

Recently our DM has been using skeleton figures to represent allied soldiers in battles, so we've been making a lot of skeleton jokes every time we see one of them.

Thing is, these are just normal human soldiers, so the jokes don't make any fucking sense to them, and that has become the joke.

"It looks like they have a BONE to pick with you."
"Why are you making skeleton puns?! Help us!"

Spiders descend.

our meme spawned from the barbarian trying to make a spell, you can probably tell how quick "the fist of destruction" went wrong.

>Investigation: Crime Scene
I run a lot of nWoD, one character in a crazy as fuck Cowboy Bebop crossover game I ran with it had this as a skill specialty and would always try to frame situations as crime scenes for that sweet extra die. This had a ridiculous crossover with a second specialisation in a skill I forget that was just "Crime"

>Fish taboo
In a different game one of the PCs was under the impression the Deep One-esque manservant the team's mad scientist had was part of an entire race a la Lovecraft mythos, and secretly hypnotised it to find more of its kin. It came back with a diver saying it was the "next best thing".
Cue this psychic idiot trying his hardest to explain things to this increasingly angry diver who just got pulled out of the river, until he finally raged out and transformed into a giant killer pike-man thing. Thus Psychic Moron committed Fish Taboo by constantly saying the wrong fucking things to a secret werepike.

Something being correct doesnt make it ok to say.

Joey lov tha cronch.

Teehee Maccaroni is the bane of my fucking existence.

Every fucking campaign that my GM runs inevitably at some point involves running into an NPC named "Teehee Maccaroni," who the GM affectionately describes as "an epic level sorcerer who's also a retarded nudist gnome."

Teehee Maccaroni wander the countryside with a unique Rod of Wonders powered by "retard magic" shoved up his anus, and he casts the Rod of Wonders by diddling his penis. He says nothing but his own name in different inflections and the phrase "I like-a the goodberry, gimme gimme the goodberry." The GM thinks it's hilarious to have this character show up during the middle of encounters we're struggling at and start jerking off magic everywhere.

But the worst part is his chant. He wanders around chanting his name, so when he's about to show up the GM will start low;
>Tee-hee-hee, Maccaroni Maccaroni
>Tee-hee-hee, Maccaroni Maccaroni
And then get louder and louder until he's fucking shouting
>TEE HEE HEE, MACCARONI MACCARONI!
>TEE HEE HEE, MACCARONI MACCARONI!

And the table loves it! The other guys I play with think this is the best shit! Teehee Maccaroni has been our table's de-facto inside joke, our signature "running gag" for six years now. When that chant starts up, everyone else joins in like a ritual; the whole table is expected to start chanting "TEE HEE HEE, MACCARONI MACCARONI" by the end, and every fucking time I refuse because this is some embarrassing circa-2002 Penguin of Doom shit, it's always the same thing; "There goes user again! No fun allowed around user! user's just a big grouch who's getting angry because we're making him touch Teehee Maccaroni's penis again! Why won't you just let us have fun with this character, he's just here for dumb fun, you stick-in-the mud!"

These motherfuckers are all over 25 years old.

Teehee Maccaroni is going to be the death of me.

Lots.

For some reason we sing kumbayah when wenever we teleport. I can't remember where that came from. We don't do it in-character unless it fits the setting though.
In every campaign there will be a group called "the black hand" who usually die horribly. They're basically redshirts.
A retired meme is the zombie tour guide. A zombie who tends to show up as a jumpscare in creepy places and then offers tours.
Every bar has a balding middle-aged man (one time even a woman) cleaning glasses and an unexplicably dark corner to atract adventure hooks.
Fastplay adventures always turn into a mess because going off-script is expected.

The tongue-in-cheek helps offset the more serious adventures.

Our Warlock once managed to walk alone into a trap that involved a solid thirty crossbowmen and was quickly taken prisoner as trying to fight his way out at that level would've been suicide. So, any time something looks awful we joke about thirty crossbowmen being involved in some way in a sort of "that's the only way it could be any worse" kinda deal.

>"and then Demogorgon vomits out thirty crossbowmen ready for battle."
>"next thing we know thirty fuckin crossbows are gonna poke out of Juiblex here."

A-and then they all shouted "the aristocrats!" right user? P-please

>How can you have half a number?

One iteration of my friend's homebrew had one type of armor at 4.5 damage resist because 4 wasn't enough and 5 was OP. This triggered the absolute fuck out of our That Guy who not only though HP was meat points, but that it actually represented physical wounds (like each point of HP was a cut or some shit you could take).
During one of his outbursts about how his character, whose stats were literally impossible at the level he was, should be buffed to have 5 armor he, instead of saying "how can you have half a wound," said the immortal phrase "how can you have half a number."

I has a retired super scientist talk about his past exploits in a supers game and drew a total mind blank mid sentence
> I made a wonderful...reverse...uh...pig
My players now attribute everything happening to the machinations of Reverse Pig. Reverse Pig is the most interesting character in my setting.

in a game i played as a fighter, we had to find and return the king's signitory ring, which also doubled as a claim to the throne (ie the ring was the last kings, passed to the current king, who will pass it to the heir apparent) but the bard was going to school at the time to be a professional illustrator, and was studying the old disney drawings.

we all hear: the quest is to return the lost ring for the local aristocrat

the bard hears: find a fling for the local aristocats.

he thought we were being hired to find a good prostitute for the local king and of course started singing the louis armstrong/duke ellington aristocats 'dont got no swing' with a raunchy twist

so now if we run into confusing quests or someone doesnt hear the instructions, when asked we immitate the gravelly voice of louis armstrong and sing something along the lines of:
>we wont get paid a thing, if the king cant have a fling
>no, it wont mean a thing, if the king dont feel no zing

reference:
youtu.be/LNtzBqMro8A

>"Never do peyote."
In our Hunter: the Reckoning game, the PCs accepted hospitality from some hippies in Bakersfield. The subsequent freak-out ended with 2 dead hippies, and the PCs putting a bullet through their own car's engine block.

>Back-alley hotdogs
In multiple games, back-alley hotdogs have been a harbinger of betrayal or ambush. It started in Exalted, when one PC turned on another right after buying him food from a street vendor. In Hunter, the PCs fed a similar meal to their kidnapping victim, shortly before delivering him to a monster.

>Poop Snake!
Our term for any GM ass-pull that makes perfect sense for the setting and situation, especially if an adventure can be derived from it. Named after the organic waste recycling bots my friend invented on the spot for one of his settings, which led to a sewer-romp and surprising amount of character development.

Oh there are several

>Gambino
The pagan deity everyone must make offerings of three silver pieces in order to avoid his wrath. And his wrath manifests through Donovan.
It's a berserk reference

>Trying to kill myself with a knife but it only deals 1d4 damage and I have over 100 hp

>The enemy isn't in your melee range
>Why don't you throw your weapon?

>Some strange fetishes

>Can I pray?

>Dragons can breed with anything

Thread in anonymous forum about inside jokes. This was destined to be unfunny.

>It's too late to think
6 p.m.
>"Guys, is this "Base Attack Bonus" thing important? i forgot to increse it for like 4 levels"
A friend at my very first game being introduced to tabletop. That's why 3.5 has a special place in my heart

Most of them are unfunny, but most of 5he ones with the actual stories behind them posted are at least interesting.

>Shock and awe?
>Shock and awe.

Inevitable comes up during any sort of lengthy planning. Comes from a secret agent style game, with a mission a week style set up. First 2 or 3 hours would be spent painstakingly an indepth plan, plotting for several variables, various options considered.

Then everything falls apart in the first five minutes.

Also, Arachnus, a god of Giant Intelligent Friendly Talking Spiders from one campaign of mine, somehow became the single most important deity to the group, so the point where he is considered a canon god in every setting we play in.

Jake-ing a roll is to fuck up a roll you have a far larger chance of succeeding than failing.
"He's still digging" in regards to an npc both awful with directions and trapped underground
And it is always, always, ALWAYS, a fucking paracelsian's fault

Fuck. Beat me to it.

This song:

youtube.com/watch?v=6Tou8-Cz8is

We're playing an Exodus (Fallout) campaign and entered a cave searching for a serial killer. One of our PC's is a super mutant from before the bombs dropped and sang this as a war tune as we descended into the cave. We were all at low health and it looked like it'd be a tpk but we were out of options. We got chills.

Since playing Eclipse Phase a long while back in which one of the characters got us lost in the TQZ and bumped us right up to the White Zone where we promptly encountered some enemies.
They at first pretended to be friendly, and then our hacker noticed our tacnet being hit with something - he privately recognised it as pre-fall TITAN netwar shit, and the player chose to let us all know by screaming OH GOD ITS FUCKING TITANS.

This then became ‘any time something bad happens, someone will say TITANS at either ridiculous volume or a whisper’.

Now it’s moved into other games.
Hell its go t the point where my girlfriend has heard stories about it and is now screaming TITANS when bad stuff happens in the Eclipse Phase game I’m now running.

Sting bean highschooler was upset at 23 year old swole dude into martial arts. Stood up and said "FIGHT ME IRL", swole bro stands up then string bean adds "In the game..."

Two people rolled horribly on a perception check, and the only excuse that the DM could come up with was they were admiring the moon, so "Dat Moon" is now a meme.

DMing Curse of Strahd and in the death house, the cleric kept on trying to burn the creepy painting. Because of that, every single entity in the house targeted him particularly, and before they attack seemed to point at him and look as if they recognize him. I still do it on occasion.

I remember two memes from my sessions.
1st: Not the goat.
DM had us fight a magic goat that could combine with other monsters. It was a persistent boss and an overall asshole to deal with.

2nd: Don't use the knife
I got a knife that, upon stabbing something, would make me have to roll 1d1000 to determine the effect. The DM actually mapped out 1000 effects for this knife. The first time I used it, it summoned the goat and we had a boss fight on the fly.

wait i remembered more from another campaign

>50% Poop!
>Spider music
>What's New Pussycats was the bard's Inspire Courage song
>"Can I roll spider perception?"
>"I stab [object]!" (Different magic knife)
>Fucking snake gods
>"Roll strength to not break the door."

this is how i used to describe memes to people who hadn't heard the term, they're internet in-jokes.

>And his wrath manifests through Donovan.

Look for the green chicken, it means safety

it sprung up a session where our Wizard spoke to a village mayor, who at the end of their conversation said something along the lines of “my door is always open for you“ to which the wizard responded “mine too“ with a gormless look on his face. The joke was uninentional by the wizard but the entire group laughed for about five minutes straight after this unintentional invitation to anal sex.
Now whenever someone mentions doors we have trouble keeping it together.

Whenever someone fails a perception roll
>you see the king of Sweden

The saga of David Onatah is probably the greatest we’ve had. I’m on my phone so I can’t tell the whole story, but it was a wild ride.
A misspoken “silence” turned into “sirence”, and we still joke about it.
Once while playing necromunda I fired into a close combat my leader was in trying to kill a juve. I hit the leader and killed him. The guy who did it rolled his advance, it was +1 leadership. That’s how Lasblast Larry killed Easy Steve and took control of the Tunnel Snakes.
For a while GW would send us those tiny boxes of three chaos marines when we ordered the squads and we got a bit pissed.

My characters have routinely thrown mundane hammers at things and gotten critical hits. Its happened like four times across three separate characters

Step up your game. My catboy PC -did- the bullying.

Ostriches are the most powerful beings in any setting, capable of climbing sheer cliffs with their claws, generating razor sharp winds with their wings, and have feathers so soft that they actually protect better than armor.

>elk as experience
At one point in a kingmaker campaign we realized that a single elk (for our level) was worth exactly 100 XP after being split amongst the party. We now sometimes reward experience in denominators of elk, including in other campaigns.

>HISTORY CHECK
I did so many of them that whenever a new enemy and it was my first turn my DM asked me to roll history because I'd done it so many times and the rest of the group chanted "HISTORY CHECK! HISTORY CHECK! HISTORY CHECK!". I took the Historian feat when I got to level 4. It came to the point where everyone else took the historian feat and we had to compete with a NPC who had TRIPLE proficiency in History.
He got trapped in a snow globe for all eternity at the end.

>NPC mayor of a hamlet town called Dunstaine with an Assistant
>Undead attack the village. Over-tuned the encounter so PC's barely make it out alive even though I thought it would be a simple fight.
>Part of the next scene is Dunstaine getting a bandage for his injury by his Half-Dragon man servant.
>In comparison the PC's are utterly wrecked and battered
>Joke that he's probably sitting there decorated in medals
>15 minutes of jokes emerge fleshing out his character as this dumbass who everyone loves despite rarely if ever doing all the hard work
>Becomes a spin off of pic related

Been going 10+ years now

These are from different groups but I'm common to all of them.

>Is it khan?
A phrase much repeated after a particularily slow puzzle got out of hand and we spent and hour at least guessing words to input and occasionally repeating them. Every puzzle goes like this in my experience so every time we encounter them this question is asked.

>meat sleeved (past tense verb)
A phrase generally referring to the pure undiluted evil our bloody necromancer got up to. Basically the worst thing you could do and not get kicked from the group. Most people never find that line. It's brought up frequently with despair.

>how prepared are you for an invasion?
A particularly blunt use of "diplomacy" by a swell guy who had a blonde moment or twelve.

>roll the dice user (condescending tone)
Directed at me, as a result of the time we played monopoly while I was half asleep.

>I eat dirt
and
>let's rob the space ATM
Phrases referring to the idiots we had to play with back in high school.

>I'm going to corellia for some armor
A phrase used when someone splits the party in reference to the time just that happened and everyone went off across the galaxy on errands.

Another few phrases we plucked from a summary of events for some comic
>[character's name] pick's up bruce wayne's skull and begins charging the black lantern battery
and more rarely in response
>Osirus was confused and wanted to go home

Beyond that we mostly use star wars prequel memes. These are all rarely brought up of course. There was good month were "..and the sand people" was the end of every other sentence we said but we've grown since then.

A PC compliments a character
>Make a deception check

The fighter develops kinks every session or two through poor phrasing.
>"I feel up the corpses." (looting)
>Elf trys to deny stereotypes "It's not like i shag trees or anything." - "Well maybe you should."
etc.
The latest in the bunch was after the DM finishes describing the monster we're fighting. It was some kind of demon who created an illusion of an inn. When i attacked the barkeeper, she transformed into some undead werewolf-esque form. Described multiple times throughout the fight as like a Hyena. I mentioned a "Fun fact" pic related. The fighter goes to inspect the monster's genitals.

2 guys and an 'x'

x is usually robot.

...

Saying "stick around" as a one liner after every mildly 'badass' or action-movie-like kill etc.

>"Where I come from there are no x/y"
>"What are you, fucking gay?"
>Weird out of place shapeshifting joke characters
>loud slurping of drinks
>lizardman has a slightly different accent every session.

Teeth exploding through the back of one's head
Curse of rabble

I also forgot
>"I roll to gurgle"
and
>one player that's continually stabbed in the chest

>John Brockman, the hero we all need

and

>Alex isn't allowed to play Delta Green any more

The "halfling herb" that the kenku rogue liked to smoke.

>>Help someone has kidnapped the mayor!
>> It must be that fiend reverse pig!

During a FF D6 game one of our players decided to retire his old character. And the only way he could think to do that was to have him kill himself.
Just fucking hanged himself in his room in the inn. We had to role-play finding his body.

When asked, the only reason he could give was "This what I think he would do in this situation, so I used this as a way to develop his character".

So since then, everyone in my circle of friends has begun using "character development" as slang for suicide.

We haven't played together in the longest time but:
>I FULL POWER SMITE
We were playing Deathwatch and we kicked down a door into a church filled with tons of cultists. My librarian stepped up and yelled
>THIS AREA IS UNCLEAN. PURIFY IT!

I pushed smite as far as I could, guaranteeing full damage, range, and a perils. Turns out the damage also hit me so I torched an entire church full of cultists and also torched all of my hair off and very nearly killed myself. I think my character was the leader or the face, I don't remember, but we had to talk to Tau who had landed on the planet immediately after and I had to be held up with my head limply hanging to the side while I spoke to the commander to negotiate us leaving the planet.

Occasionally I'll make dumb images like this if the combat rounds are taking too long or one of the other PCs is having a particularly long side conversation with an NPC.

Every ship we own is the SUNAGOH after we ended up stealing and renaming a boat used to ship pigs. It served us so well despite reeking of pig crap

>Slappy Jim's Emporium
For whenever the DM has trouble thinking of a shop name

>Sea Crimes
Our Wizard got bored and fired cannons at civilian merfolk homes when we were diplomacizing with the vanguard

Similarly, I accidentally started the noodle incident "Lumberjack Valley", which gets more absurd every time we mention it.

>Clap hands, "It's canon"
It originated when I was running a campaign. We just finished up our first one and another player was running a prequel to that one. I made one out of character joke referencing the first game which everyone said this had to be a sequel. They were dead set on it and when I tried saying no a player clapped his hands firmly together, "Boi, it's canon."

Now the phrase is used when anyone makes a joke or ridiculous theory about a character or NPC.

>Fuck Scottland
A player and I just played through Katawa Shoujo and our hate for that country has transferred over in game.

>Elf Communism
The party's ranger is an elf who uses a hammer and sickle and tries to convince others to start the Communist revolution.A few sessions ago he managed to publish his Manifesto.
>It's late I can't use 7
A player after a certain point in the night when he has to do math he always fucks up if the number seven involved.
>Elizabeth
For whatever reason almost every character's wife or love interest is name Elizabeth. Most of them are also half-elves that get captured by a villain at some point in time. It's come to the point if we ever meet a female NPC, we just assume their name is Elizabeth.

Two words: Party tunnel.
Two more words: COMPLETE YOU

Brain worms are the worst.

Once upon a time we used a youtube playlist for our game music, disregarding the fact that our host that day had adblock turned off on youtube.
So here we are with a heavy scene, our DM narrating a vision one of the players is having: of his hometown getting raided and burned to the ground, people getting cut down and torched alive while desperately trying to escape, the demonic commander delighting in wanton murder and rape as if he's mocking us from inside the dream, suddenly getting interrupted by DANGER DANGER!
HIGH VOLTAGE! when the video changes and some random ad with this song turns on.

youtube.com/watch?v=R-FxmoVM7X4 has since become the official anthem of our group and a beloved battle initiation track.

>Attempting to affect/attack/persuade/steal from the GM
>Attacking inanimate objects
>Complaining about every other room being a bland featureless cave
>"Oh god we killed the plot again", (we have accidentally killed plot relevant npcs at least three times so far pissing off the GM to no end)
>The paladin praying at the most inappropriate moments (inn the middle of battle while a hobgoblin attacking him)
>pretending we don't notice that a few of the party members are cursed.
>My character having reoccurring amnesia because I have to keep leaving and coming back to ask what happened while I was gone.

>What does the ring do?

See, our Druid's player kept forgetting what her magic ring was supposed to do. Its function, of course, was to allow her to retain the use of any one language while Wild Shaped. Naturally, she asked the question above on multiple occasions, with her older brother (or the GM) having to remind her. My own rather oblivious replies, such as "which ring?," did not become nearly as memetic if only because me not knowing what other people are confused about is less funny than other people being confused is.

Nowadays, the question comes up every time a ring is mentioned, even if it's not described as a magic ring.

No self made memes. But my bard tries really hard to copypasta memes he's sees on facebook and tumblr because he's a fucking normie.

"HAHA I FUCKED THE DRAGON BECAUSE OF THE LAY THE DRAGON MEME" HAHA SO FUNNY AND ORIGINAL

One of the player characters kept getting his clothes removed incidentally, and became popular as a projectile for the other PCs.

From the same game, "Then our love will be... FORBIDDEN."

>Hank-related deaths

when one of my friends DMs 5e, every single shopkeeper is the same tiefling named Salazar, no matter where the party is

Contact Chuck Tingle, that's another of his books ready to go right there.

Always buying the oldest whore at the first whore house we find in a new place to using her as information gatherer, then never banging said whore whilst toting her around town on whatever mission we're on. It must be the oldest, or in better terms, "most experienced" so that somehow they have the most knowledge or something.
We did it the first time on a whim, then I forced the meme a bit to pick on the GM's girlfriend whom spectates the game occasionally since she couldn't stand the accent the gm gave it the first time we did it.

Almost all of our groups gaming in-jokes stem from one guy. He's kind of dopey and he says/does a lot of dumb things. I'll call him R.

When it seems like the DM is trying to railroad the party or something really absurd happens.
>And then an orc riding a dragon shows up!
R was DMing a Christmas oneshot that had a really bizarre ending involving a bunch of orcs riding dragons that started attacking the town, but one was friendly and we had to escape with him.

When something is built up to be really cool and then the dice ruin it, when someone throws something, when someone lies about something, or when a character gets a bit too emotional
>LIAR!
in a very melodramatic way, often while miming throwing a javelin. The origins for this one should be pretty obvious.

Whenever there's a dangerous drop
>5 foot crevasse
During our first real attempt at gaming, back in high school R tried DMing. There was a big pit we had to cross and he called a crevasse. When we asked out deep it looked he said 5 feet.

Whenever something really unlucky happens to a character or there's friendly fire
>[PC name]'s bad day!
R was playing as a gnome who's backstory was "He's pretty happy, nothing bad or traumatic has ever really happened to him. He has a wife and kids and a pet cat at home" Due to a mix of bad rolls and stupid ideas, he often found himself in very painful situations or getting accidentally hit by my character, which led to his character becoming bitter and hateful. During a particularly rough encounter, someone else in the group started the bad day joke and it stuck.

After a bit of misspeaking, some of our characters are now said to be “born an orphan.” There’s also the occasional random interludes of the cast of our long-abandoned Tomb of Horrors run hanging around in the same room they’ve sat in for several years now.

>Afro Joe smiles (no more)
Usually implies that the players done fucked up now or done fucked up real bad depending on the varation
>Tall guy with a fishing pole *did thing*
One of the PCs from an early campaign hired a wizard to teleport him around the place and usually is the explanation of why something is found dead or when a dangerous site is less dangerous because that's what he tended to do on his vacations.
>I want to roll to fail
Because once our GM argued that you can't fail if you have too high skill modifier, so out of spite we all rolled on that skill to simulate failure. We did and he had to concede on that point. Ever since then we roll to fail.

>so plan B then.

>3
What my usual expected roll is on...anything, now, after going an entire game rolling almost nothing but 3s on 2d6 (in a system where 2d6 is your standard roll for anything)
>[charname] is only 6
In many different groups, even those who have nothing to do with each other, it seems that in almost ever circumstance, the actual age of any kind of clone/genetic experiment/etc is six years, regardless of mental maturity or apparent physical age.

Memetics can be argued to not actually contain conventional "memes" due to memetics being about information transferred between a group without needed explaination. English speaking people understand English, but jokes sometimes don't transfer from a native English speaker to a German English speaker for instance.

Early images that circled around message boards like this one were memetic in nature due to knowing what someone means from a seemingly unrelated image, see pic for an example.

Common "memes" are often not memetic in nature due to often being accompanied by words or an explaination, making them non-memetic image macros.
