modern game, characters are vigilantes mowing their way through an underworld casino. One PC is firing his assault rifle on full-auto, but can NOT get a decent damage roll. After rolling 2 points of damage to one opponent (which didn't get through that opponent's body armor), another player cracked "What sort of magazines are you putting in that thing, Reader's Digest?"

The party had just taken out a pirate base, and from their "salvaged" starship, were trying to get the prisoners seperated from the pirates. They were looking for a technician for their crew.

Jeff: "Let's have the technicians come aboard and we'll see if we want to keep any of them."
Ned: "I hate interviews!"
Jeff: "I'll do all the interviews, that's what I'm good at."
Ned: "Okay." Into the PA "All the technicians move to the right. The rest of you, into the showers."
A moment of silence.
The rest of the group laughing hysterically while moaning.
GM (me): Dude, that is so not right!

1930's Rocketter setting. PC's are in a bullet scared faux German tavern run by the Amercian Bund, being shot at by a host of Bund members, some Hitler Youth, and a trio of TL6 Nazi power armour equip soldiers. One PC (that has gone Beserk) has been hit at a range of two yards with a flame thrower armed power armoured nazi. The PC's Rocketter suit, which is layered leather, silk and asbesotos, is slightly on fire. It comes around to the PC's return fire...

GM: "....Ok, -2 for range, +1 for size, and -2 for light."
Mike: "I'm on fire, right?"
GM: "Yep."
Mike: "Shouldn't I get a light bonus for my flying suit being on fire?"

I think its am amusing thing that my mind went straight to 'answering his question' instead of laughing. I'd say yes but only as per torchlight, which will be neatly cancelled out by distraction penalties. Made me smile though.

From someone else's [1] Shadowrun game:

"That was subtle; we used grenades, not C4."

[1] I inexplicably didn't note the original attribution. I will probably go find it again later, and edit this post accordingly.

Edit: "someone else" = username "John Campbell" on the Irregular Webcomic Forum.

The PC's were in a low tech campaign. They have spent the night being 'purified' by a group of priestesses, and are riding out of town on a brace of camels.

Player (mumbled aside): "...mmn, 'Erotic Art (full release)(ruminants)'".

The Action heroes are responding to a break-in alarm in the party-going (male) Faceman's hotel room. They find the (female) Infiltrator going through the Faceman's matchbook collection, sorting out all the ones with the name "Sam" on them. She believes the Faceman is selling the team out to his cousin Sam.

Investigator: "What are you doing?"
Infiltrator: "I think he's trying to betray the team!"
Wire Rat: "By picking up women?"

From my Free RPG Day run.

Superstrength Brick: Can I hit the raptor with a van door?
Me: Hell yes you can!

I was very much running the game on the rule of awesome.

Rouge: 'lo, you folks need an 'and? *Big grin* She'll be fallin' do'own thar' fer' a while no'ow, it's nearly 12 stories deep.
PC1: But we need her alive
Rouge: I know, There's a safty device at the bottom (This rouge earlier used 'safty device' to describe a bomb that 'only went off when you dropped it, not when you carried it' as a example of his idea of safty devices)
PC1: What? What is it?
*From far below there's an echoing *Splat**
Rouge: Dusty (A trained Ball of slime who the wizard had made while drunk from things he'd found in the gutter and the bottom of his beer glass in a really bad pub.)
Took all the PCs several moments IC to realize what he'd just said, then everyone burst out laughing.
BBEG: *From far, far below* There's gum in my hair!
