From a Shadowrun game I ran after the character infiltrating a group got found out and was running away for his life:

"God dammit! Being on fire sucks! Oww. Oww. Water. Please God water. YAY! A river!"

From 5 minutes ago, working on a picture:

Me: "I changed Sasha's mouth, like you asked, and updated Simon's lip a hair."
Monkeyfist: "You gave him a hairlip?"
Me: "NO!"
Monkeyfist: Laughs manically as he leaves my room.

The PCs (modern-day game) are trying to make their getaway. One of the designated getaway drivers seriously flubs his Driving roll twice. Another character in that car shoves the driver aside, takes the wheel, and aces his Driving roll.

On a TL6+3^ world, in a guild dedicated to subtly solving weird problems:

Administrator: 'So yeah, we now have an MD.'
Teammate 1: 'Good.'
Teammate 2: 'So, [administrator], are you planning to terminate us as unwanted witnesses or something?'
Teammate 1: 'What? Why?'
Teammate 2: 'Because I know this MD. He's a coroner.'

Top Secret game back in high school. Sole PC is West German (shows just how long ago that was).

PC: So, what's the name of my agency?
Me: The Deutsche Nachrichtendienst*. The D.N. ... D. Oh, crap.

* German Security Service

--------------

AD&D game in college: one of the party bought himself a war dog to take along to the dungeon. They find themselves at a fork in the tunnel.

PC1: Which way should we go?
PC2: I dunno.
PC1 (to me, the DM): What does the war dog think?
Me: What the hell do you mean, "what does the war dog think?!" [shrugging, in a Scooby Doo voice] Ri-uh roh!

--------------

Another AD&D game a year or two later. The PCs have contracted with the Thieves' Guild to steal something, and want to make sure they won't be cheated.

PC: How can we be sure you won't just walk off with our upfront money?
Guildmaster (me): Hey, I'm a thief, not a crook!

--------------

Torg game about ten years ago. The game isn't really about saving the world, it's more about the low comedy between the PCs. My character is depressed over nothing going right and everything just getting worse and worse.

GM: Okay, you have about two weeks of downtime before your next mission.
Me: I spend the entire time drunk.
Other PCs: Whoo! Party!
Me: No, not like "fun, silly, lampshade on the head" drunk. More like "go to bed with a gallon of whiskey and not get up until it's gone" drunk.

--------------

GURPS Space game about five years ago. The PCs are selling a McGuffin back to the foreign spies it belongs to. The foreign nationals all have an Outrayjuss Cherman Akzent.

Foreign Spy: Ekzellent, so ve vill meet in ze park at dusk, und zen ve vill inspect each other's packages to make sure all ist korrect.
PCs: [laughter]
Me (OOC): What? Oh.

GM: Hokay, so to recap, combat has just started, they're surprised, and Brody is somewhere upstairs, everyone else is rested back to full health and FP and inside the main hall.
Staver (out of character): Jorgan looks... like a giant furry thing? Like his icon? Trying to figure out what I'm screaming.
GM: Jorgan looks like a very large bipedal bear.
Staver: "BEAR! It's a BEAR we've got BEAR AAAAAAAUGH!"

"Okay, from now on everything between here and the Temple of Peace dies."

True to their word, the party proceeded to slaughter everything that approached them from bunny rabbits to frostbite spiders (the game was based on Skyrim). I thought twice before sending a priest out to greet them at the steps. When they knocked on the temple doors and the priest asked where they had come from, the answer:

"Just follow the trail of carcasses."
