Funniest Thing you ever saw on CoX

[HugoLuman]

Oh man, checking through the wiki, redside version of clone arc is even better XD

Especially the wave of clones with personality disorders.

This happened a few months ago...

Virtue Magi master badge run. Ara has us all on Ventrillo (or skype or whatever, I forget). People are planning how to get the badges and go over strategy. The whole "At 40% health, do this. At 20%, pop lore pets, don't kill lights, yadda yadda" schtick...

That's when I pipe in with "Ok, you guys sound like the dudes from the Leeroy Jenkins video..."

And thus, many lols were had!

Seeing/hearing peoples reactions to the first time they saw BIG!Tyrant become mini-tyrant.

The first time I saw someone photobomb Lord Recluse's cutscene.

My favorite thing of all time, which never failed to make me laugh, though, was this....

Dr. Aeon: "I can't believe I just told them how to escape like that... No matter, just erase this recording and we'll start again!"
Henchman: "Uh, sir?"
Aeon: (annoyed) "What?"
Henchman: "You, uh... you said you wanted to transmit this, uh live."
Aeon: "AAAAAGHH!!! Shut it off, shut it off!"

My personal favourite funny moment was playing my Inv/SS Tank, Ms. Ultra.  Understandably, she was a feminist.  Exchange goes like this:

Guy on team (trolling IC): "If you're Ms. Ultra, what's your husband?"
Ms. Ultra: "Obedient"

I think the mission devolved for a minute for everyone to stop laughing.  It was one of my favourite exchanges in all of CoH and it was just a random guy who fed me a line that I could knock out of the park.  8)

I'll just leave this here -

Merryl: Hami is on vacation...  taking Heli to Atlas Park :P

That just defies description :D Well done!

One of my favorite characters to run into on Triumph back in the day was Naked Mole Rat.  Huge, pink, ran around in underwear, and could improvise conversations for hours on end with everything coming from him sounding like it came straight from a Tick comic.  He was always good for a laugh and guaranteed to brighten our day.

Oh my god, I remember Naked Mole Rat!

There was another character called "Brown Ploppy", a stone tank that would just sit cross-legged with Mudpots running.  That sound...

When body sliders first came out, I saw a short, fat (well, fat by CoH standards) old lady in nothing but a half-open bathrobe.  And just as I was drinking in that shriveling sight-- SPLORT!  Out come the Spines!  Yeeesh!

One of my favorite tricks was to use Lightning Storm on the groins of various statues to turn them into 1970s porn stars!

CoH's ragdoll physics.  And their complete lack of any resemblance to real physics.

Case in point:

I once was on a mission against the Family, on a Kin/Electric Brute.  One of the Kin brute's powers is Repulsing Torrent, which is long ranged, a targeted cone, and delivers ridonkulous levels of knockback, especially slotted for additional knockback.  I had fun with it.

One Button Man, he had his back to me, standing around punching his fist.  It was an Office map.  Above me, a balcony.  Ahead, a wall separating the hallway we were in from a breakroom with a vending machine.

I say hello in the form of Repulsing Torrent.  Button Man goes flying, gets stuck in the wall for a moment.  I run over to hit him, but he pops out of the wall, and somehow gets launched about fifteen feet into the air, onto the railing of the balcony, where he lays for a while, doing about 3 barrel rolls in the process.

He finally comes to 'rest' and starts to get up, but the animation of getting up causes him to fall off the balcony.  He lands head-first and gets stuck in the floor, like a cartoon ostrich.

Now, I'm laughing my rear off here, but I have a demonic idea.  I didn't let him get up.  I decided to launch him at the wall again, using Repulsing Torrent.  If you thought it was funny up until now, you haven't heard anything yet.

The Button Man hits the wall and glitches through.  The glitching physics squeeze him like a grapeseed out of the other side of the wall, and he careens head-first into the vending machine, positioned just perfectly so his head looked like it had been jammed into the dispenser slot, with his body slumped behind it.

I cackled so hard that I fell out of my chair, and couldn't get to the screenshot key fast enough to screenie it before the mafioso got up, sadly.

Still, I smacked an overdressed goon through a wall and into a vending machine.  Consider that one written off my bucket list.

That is a /great/ story! And yeah, the physics were awesome. :D

I think of of the funniest things I saw was one of the Wonder Twins.

Going Rogue launch night, while standing in a remarkably crowded tutorial zone:-

[The Legendary]Z. Fox: Holy Tutorial Zone 2!

[The Legendary]Acyl: Our tutorial who art on server, instanced be thy name.
[The Legendary]Acyl: Thy XP come, thy kills be done, on server as it was in beta.
[The Legendary]Acyl: Give us this launch, our daily play, forgive us our faceplants as we forgive those who PvP against us.
[The Legendary]Acyl: Bring us not to deletion, but deliver us from altitis.
[The Legendary]Acyl: For thine is the expansion, the players and the community, now and forever. Amen.

[The Legendary]Z. Fox: I don't know whether to appreciate the skill... or decry thse desecration... *tilts hand back and forth*
[The Legendary]Acyl: *smirks*

Now THAT is a prayer I'd be happy to recite!

[Ironwolf]

A character I saw: Foghorn Leghorn, years ago.
A giant muscle bound Chicken with tight buns.
Every time he was fighting, I laughed and lost concentration.
he was too much.

I imagine he looked even better after the animal mods.

That was me and I had over 50 chat binds with his insults.

The best one was after dying: Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency.

I had a guy challenge me to PvP - telling me I suck and I proceeded to lay all 50 insults on him in broadcast and the entire zone laughed until he logged off :)

City of Heroes was the best! I wish i could recall some of my story's but i'm laughing to hard from reading all of the post to think clearly atm.

[Spellcaster Hana]

Hmm...definitely when you kill an enemy and they get stuck on the wall wriggling or worse on the ceiling.

[Triplash]

Just after Freedom launched, with the remake of Atlas Park, I was bouncing around checking the place out and saw four Hellions walking single file down the street. Now I'm not a religious Beatles fan, but I do know what one of the most famous album covers in history looks like. So I jumped over and took a screenshot, thinking what the heck, might be good for a laugh. Then I completely forgot about it until a few weeks later when I was looking through the folder and saw this:

Heh. Awesome :D

[General Idiot]

Try and work out what's happening in this screenshot:

Aside from the obvious, he's what was actually going on there. That's Nemesis, in the middle of the cutscene at the end of Dark Watcher's arc in the Rikti War Zone. Now you may notice, he's not where he's supposed to be. Normally, he spawns in the center of the entrance and faces directly toward the portal. However, on this specific occasion we had two traps corruptors on the team and they decided they'd set a half a million tripmines right on the spot Nemesis spawns before we went and beat up the Rikti. So the instant he spawned, he ate a faceful of explosion for about half his health and got tossed aside before the cutscene even started. The game literally sat there for a minute before playing the cutscene, like the server itself was going 'Holy shit!' and trying to work out what to do.

[Atlantea]

Now that's a Nemesis PLOTZ!  (Ba DUM tish!) :D

[corvus1970]

Now that's a Nemesis PLOTZ!  (Ba DUM tish!) :D

Nemesis: "Ha HAH! I am here to...eh???" *DOOOOOOOOOOOOJJJJ!*
