Even without context:
"I'm not special needs, you guys are just dicks."
(The character in question has Phantom Voices, and is generally treated, by the other party members, as if he's crazy. But we think the quote stands on it's own.)

We're still in game (I'm unconscious, or as we call it from our Hero gaming: GM Option land):
GM: Dwayne, you're right behind him.
Dwayne: I hit him with my penetrating strike.
Savannah (OOC): Is that what the kids call it these days.

Dwayne: I hit him with my burning strike.
GM (after damage is determined): He bursts into flames.
Alice (OOC): Can you smell what the rock is cookin'?

Chris: Is there anything I could use to restrain him with?
GM: It's an S&M dungeon!
Savannah (OOC): Yeah, becaue everyone has one of those in their house.

Alice: Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the critical failure didn't kill me, it just requires me to check to see if I have a heart attack--which I made that roll so I'm alive . . . just in desperate need of medical attention.
Johnny: How many critical failures is that for you tonight?
Alice: Eleven.
Savannah: What? MonkeyFist isn't doing enough damage to you? You need to bring it on yourself?
GM (MonkeyFist bridging his fingers): Excellent!

During a tense session of In Nomine, a lighter moment occurred when a mortal hotel employee needed help fixing his car -- a job admirably suited to the group's Malakite of Lightning, Sasha.

Kay: "Sasha, would you mind looking at his car?"
Sasha: "Is the Pope Italian?"
Kay: "Actually, Sasha, I thought the Pope is Polish."
Jesher: "Isn't he German nowadays?"
Sasha's player: "Stupid real life ruining that joke."

The saying (not really a joke) has always been "Is the Pope Catholic?"

Playing a super strength martial artist anti-hero in a supers game:

Me: "I'm going to disarm the thug."
GM: "Okay, that's a grapple check."
Me: "No. That's a Power Blow to the shoulder."

In a Hero system Travelller campaign, Roric and Xill, the two supposed muscles in the group, are in a "controlled" street fight because someone lifted the wallet and communicator from Dante, the pilot of the group. (The planet/city we are in allows such street fights as long as the fines are paid up front.)

Xill hands his laser pistol to Robert (the very wealthy accountant) because the fight is melee weapons only.

Seeing this, Dante turns to Roric and says, "Do you have anything you want me to hold for you."

Roric thinks for a second and says, "With the way you loose things, I don't think so."

I know. But for a warrior angel who was not socially adept, it was the kind of almost-right thing that fit perfectly. And set up a great punch line. :)

Fred: "Can I hear Timmy? Are my Phantom Voices back?"
Nyko: "No, you're getting the answering machine."
Alice (me): "You're geting Phantom Voice Mail."

Tonight's game:

During a module, a PC got attacked by an animated cauldron which made a successful grapple.

Me: In Soviet Russia, pot gets on YOU!

The pot then swallowed the PC (the main melee of the group), who hacked his way out and finally split it in twain with a critical strike.

PC: I beat pot!

Earlier, while investigating, the group comes across loggers who try to intimidate them into leaving the logging camp. The largest of the "greeting party" plays spokesman and comes across as a big, but kind of stupid redneck.

Big logger: We don't take kindly to your type 'round here!
PC: What type is that exactly? (gestures to the fact that the party is made of a sylph druid with a lion, an oread ranger, human wizard, and a half elf inquisitor)
Big logger: Stranger types - I ain't seen you 'round these parts.
PC (local ranger who hasn't had dealings with the loggers): Well, I'm from the area. I've seen you guys around.
Big logger: Well, I don't recognize you!
PC: That's because I don't come around here in the day when you're awake.
Me (ooc): I don't think trying to pass yourself off as a night-time stalker is going to endear yourself to them.
PC (ooc): Crap, I guess it does kind of come across that way...

After convincing the loggers that they're here to help, they're able to talk to the foreman. After asking some pertinent questions,

PC (in an attempt to figure out how far the the plague has spread): Is something wrong with your men?

Foreman: Well, Bobby's a bit slow - as in, the wheel is spinning, but the hamster's dead. But the rest have a good head on their shoulders.

After finding some equipment on bodies hanging in a tree (which includes a couple of crossbows, but no bolts in the loot description):

PC: Are there any bolts for them?
Me: No... you know what? I'll give you a break... (makes some *incidental* rolls to claim that a quiver was stuck in the branches and falls out of the tree - including a roll to see if they get shaken lose by the character climbing the tree. So far, it's his lucky day, so I roll to see if the bolts fall out and stab anyone when the quiver gets shaken lose.)
Me: I've got good news and I've got bad news. The good news is, there are crossbow bolts. The bad news is, they're sharp!

Upon entering a room where they spot a half-eaten crow,

PC: So this guy was LITERALLY eating crow!

EDIT:

Wizard: The fish can tell us!
Me: *blank look*
Wizard, ellaborating: The druid can speak with the fish!
Me: She can? Tamla, I didn't know you had a spell that allows you to speak with fish.
Wizard: She doesn't. It's her language - she can speak Aquan.
Me: Well, yeah. SHE can speak Aquan. But the fish doesn't speak Aquan... in fact, the fish doesn't speak anything.

As a mythical aquatic marsupial, I approve of this metaphor.
