RP Comedy

RP comedy is maybe the hardest thing for me to get but I love it when it hits.
One of my favorite scenes these last few years started as mundane trying to ICly fix a hot tub with @Tat and @YetiBeard characters (plus one person whose bmd name I don’t know) and it just spiraled into hilarity that compounded on itself and had very little to do with fixing a hot tub. And makes no sense out of context, but such is comedy.
I want something else to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-byeShe/Her or They/Them

The fight for the life of the Garou caern is raging. My Corax did his bit to help them out before the fight. So now he’s just hanging back, watching.
Then, mid-fight, a little bat spirit starts gunning for a wounded Garou laying in back nearby. So my Corax flies in to fight it off.
The two proceed to get into a slap fight where neither could really hurt the other meaningfully, with the entire scene of people going crazy about it.
Eventually a Ratkin engineer breaks it up by firing a sonic pulse at the spirit, which the ST allowed on the grounds that the fight was NEVER GOING TO END otherwise.

lol, a recent favorite: what started as a scene where my character invites over his friend to make sure he’s not about to make bad choices after traumatic events, quickly spirals into everyone getting high. The friend, at one point, mentions that once upon a time a girl gave him her number, and since he doesn’t have a phone he has been giving out this number when people ask for his.
My character latches onto this and decides that if this poor girl has been getting phone calls meant for the friend FOR YEARS NOW, they need to call it to figure out what’s been going on. Except they’re wizards, and don’t know how phones work. So they end up heading to a phone booth (it is 1992 London) to try and figure that out, while both are high as kites. Hilarity ensues.

I enjoy humor in my RP.
Today while listening to @Snackness talk about one of her scenes, I was reminded of the time me and @KarmaBum had characters “escaping” a hospital via icy fire escape and just… failing
Over and over.
It was a good time.
Give me yours!
You and @Rathenhope tried to KILL ME WITH A CAR.
In Occam I trust.

@Yam is one of the funniest fucking RPers I have ever had the pleasure of RPing with IN MY LIFE. The absolute LACK OF EGO and WILLINGNESS TO BE GOOFY. Amazing.

Speaking of wizards, one of my favorite amusing scenes was where my character wanted to be magic confectioner and ended up making an animated Gingerbread Man. Who got away. And she and her friends had to chase it all over the school, all while it made rude gestures and created Home Alone-esque food-based traps for them.
They ended up sticky, wet, and smelling of popcorn by the time they caught it.

I was a brand new player on Darkspires. My character approached the scene of… something going on, to find bits and pieces of some creature that had been splattered.
Branwen (RIP Usekh), having noticed my character’s queasiness, flew down in crow form (Darkspires was a game taking place in the Dresden Files universe), picked up a… ewh… testicle, and wiggled it at my character. “Is this yours?”
I hurt myself laughing… then the damned bird swallowed it. xD

Oh man, that was a brilliant one. Fucking Erik.

I always had fun with the concept of messengers on Arx, but one of my favorite memories was receiving a really spicy one after one of those big assemblies and just on a whim wondering, ok but what if my character said something really dumb and fucked this up? Knowing the other player would run with it.
The growing disgust in her responses while we cackled OOC was just
It’s stuff like that that makes me miss having the spoons to play, and remember this hobby fondly!

I always enjoyed getting messengers on the tortise that arrived months after the fact.

@Tez Oh my GOD how dare you compliment me SO STEALTHILY by @ing me
AND THE PPL THAT UPDOOTED YOU
I LOVE YOU ALL im cry ;_;
I love comedy in RP. A lot of my friends are fucking great at it and I am 100% shamelessly biased. My favorite kind of RP comedy is the kind where it’s not just amusing, it’s side-splitting hilarious and it affects YOU as the PLAYER so now you get to channel that mirth AUTHENTICALLY through your character.
There have been multiple times where I’ve posed my character trying to resume the flow of the scene but then having to continue laughing in the middle of it because I was still cracking up. Shout out to @ham @sao and @Pyrephox
Naturally, @Tez is amazing at it too. I haven’t played too much with @tsar but I STILL remember how amused I was when Erik came to patch up Gil’s broken nose. scar has been absolutely killing me.

Me and @hellfrog and @Rathenhope being elitist and wearing hats.

@Yam the praise of the praiseworthy is the highest honor. you are consistently funny.
-
I keep struggling to come up with specific examples of things that were hilarious, and yet so many of my favorite RPers have made me laugh. One shout out:
@junipersky Whoever is next the Dominus is still going to have an inexplicable stick tchotchke in the Dominus’s room.
-
@sao I GOT TO RP ABOUT THE STICK!! I think. Maybe. I might’ve just been examining every single object in your room and every object within an object. I feel like I ICly asked about that stick though.
Also how could I forget @Rathenhope who ALWAYS rolls with the punches for comedy. I am particularly fond of a fish-out-of-water character he played in a WoD game with me.

@Yam so help me I’ll get a newspaper and bap you with it.
