Pulp game (1938); a group of soldiers has just arrived to take over the Nazi advance base we the PCs cleaned out for them. I'm running a female archaeologist/professor, the officer in charge handed me some photographs of our next target to analyze about as soon as he saw me. Meanwhile, the rank-and-file soldiers are having trouble figuring out why there's a woman present at all.

GM, joking around as one of the soldiers: Why would they bring a librarian along?

Another player: {mimes cocking a gun, takes the classic "got you covered" pose} That book is two days overdue!

From our GURPS Fringeworhty game:

When Jillian passed out due to a bad-reaction to a crystal-encrusted weapon that had become attuned to another character:
Gina: "Mouth-to-mouth doesn't involve tongue, Aaron."

Upon waking from said bad reaction:
Jillian: "Ugh. Important safety tip--thanks, Egon."
(Movie quotes are actually a recurring theme in the game, we're encouraged to make them, in character, when appropriate.)

Upon trying to teleport a bad guy from another dimension to where we were all standing, waiting to ambush him.
GM: "Everybody roll."
*Goes around and collects rolls*
Aaron: "No one wants Barka here more than I do." (Shows GM a roll of 4) "No one!"

It didn't work. Something else did. The GM wasn't expecting us to try what we did, so he was a little upset that he had to give up an important secret because we did it right.

Dr. Mist and her husband Steve, discussing a reporter friend with a penchant for getting in trouble:

STEVE: "Unless she gives you another mysterious cell phone call, we barely know where to look."
MIST: "Is that why my phone is on your nightstand?"
STEVE: (Smile) "Let's just say I'm good at recognizing patterns."
MIST: "You know, I only got one mysterious call from her. Okay, so I ended up naked in Delaware, but one incident is hardly cause for a pattern."

Currently I'm playing in a low-powered Super Hero game. Our team was put together by a section of the UN to help track town a demon-worshipping cult that may be worshipping a very REAL demon.
In the last session we needed to break into an old wooden house and the GM discribed the walls as being made of essentially rice paper--

Paul: "I try the door."
GM: "The door is locked."
River: *Punches through the rice-paper wall and unlocks the door*
Paul: "Why do they even have a lock?"


Sometimes the simplest solutions get forgotten :)

This one is from a webcomic called Spinerette, but it seems to fit roleplaying games so neatly:

Tiger: "Sometimes a plan is just a list of things that don't happen."

The WoD LARP I play in had the Changeling summer games last session.

During a contest of strength:
"It is taking all my strength to not drop-kick you"(That particular character won)

During the contest of accuracy, which worked by calling shots for other characters to make:
"Your target is your own ass"
"Left or right cheek?"

A few gems from our most recent Supers adventure:

Jimmy: "There's just no explaining the Great & Powerful Trixie."
Trixie: "Nope. ...wait."


Trixie: "Turns out Trixie's feeling of not wanting to go with your plan did not go unfounded."
Mason: "I didn't know you weren't used to horsenip."
Paul: "That smells like Marijuana to me..."
Mason: "Shut up."
Trixie: "Next time we listen to the woman's intuition."
Jimmy: "You're a mare, not a woman."
Trixie: "And that's why you're single."


Mason: "Would an EpiPen break kosher?"
Jimmy: "What's in them, pork? Pork and cheese?"
Trixie: "Wow..."
Mason: "I don't think that's how EpiPens work."

From my recent Dark Heresy game.

Lan (my character) had just made a stirring speech about the Emperor and how we were all struggling against chaos so they he could have that one good day and rest for moment.

His Lordship 'That was a stirring speech, you'd have made a fine Commissar"

Lan " Thank you . Thats the second nicest thing anyone has ever told me sir."

A multi-national GURPS party, with a Chinese military police officer as their party firearms expert.

Party face-woman: "Okay, we have lots of high tempers and passionate emotions. I think we should put this to a vote."

Chinese gun expert: "Wait, that sounds a bit like democracy... accordingly, I vote against it."
