{{quote|''"[[Laugh Withwith Me]]!<br />
[[Evil Laugh|RAAH - HA - HA - HA - HA - HAAAAA!]]<br />
I don't know if you've noticed but I've been trying a couple different styles of [[Evil Laugh]]. It's hard to pick the right one."''|[[Mad Scientist|Vernon von Grun]]}}

Line 10:
* "Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaut of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. [[Gone Horribly Wrong|How could this have all gone wrong?]]"
* "I spent 1000 Mission Architect tickets and all I got was [http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Payoff_Badge this stupid badge]!"
* The last mission of the Cloning Facility arc in ''City of Villains''. {{spoiler|You go into a bank, everyone panics, the guards draw their guns, you go up to the bank teller and say, "I'd like to make a transfer." You drain an Arch-Villain's bank account. While doing so, the Teller tries to say something, but: "No small talk." After the transfer is complete, she thanks you for not robbing them today.}}
* This is an overlap with [[Good Bad Bugs]]. During Mender Ramiel's first mission, if you're playing as a character that can summon stationary pets (such as a Tree of Life or an Acid Mortar), they will also gain the awesome power of an Incarnate, granting them immunity to their own built-in immobilization. This allows them to follow you all over the mission and provide extra damage (even though you don't need it. At all.)
* During one of the Praetorian invasion events in the Rogue Isles, an admin [[Role Play|Roleplaying]] as Lord Recluse began to exhort his followers to protect the Isles' shrimp supply, because surely we weren't [[Lampshade Hanging|foolish enough to believe]] that our entire economy was based on an endless cycle of stolen money.
** And at the end of a later invasion, the admins entered the game as a pair of [[Humongous Mecha|War Walkers]] and began to pull [[Michael Jackson]] dance moves while handing out titles.
* The admins provided a series of Funny Moments during the Praetorian Invasion in their roleplaying signature characters in the admin channels. Like this line from Emperor Cole in response to Neuron and Antimatter's bickering:
{{quote| '''Emperor Marcus Cole:''' ENOUGH! Get back on track for this invasion or I'm turning this army around and we're going home!}}
** And then Infernal's response:
{{quote| '''Infernal:''' INFERNAL WANT MORE DEMONS. NO GO HOME}}
* Positron's answer to a [https://web.archive.org/web/20120905030842/http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=113233 forum question] about why he never lifts a finger to help the heroes dying at his feet:
{{quote| '''Positron:''' All that crap is grey to me, no XP.}}
* In Twinshot's introductory mission, the security terminal asks you to identify yourself. One of the dialogue branches is ''rife'' with movie [[Shout -Out|Shout Outs]]: the choice is [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|"My name is Inigo Mon--"]], and the console responds ''"Really?'' You're ''really'' going [[The Princess Bride (Filmfilm)|there?]] [[Take That|That joke is over twenty years old.]] Just for that, [[Mission: Impossible (TV series)|this console will]] [[This Page Will Self -Destruct|self-destruct in five seconds."]] Your character then spends the next several dialogue boxes sputtering and trying to stop it, but the console continues counting down...[[Spaceballs (Film)|and skips right to two, prompting you to shout "WAIT! What happened to three?!"]]
* The Circle of Thorns in the Halloween tip mission are...kind of dumb.
{{quote| '''Minion''': They said Praetoria was [[Grey and Gray Morality|shades of gray]]. [[Comically Missing the Point|This looks awfully blue to me.]]<br />
'''Minion 2''': [["No. Just... No" Reaction|Seriously?]]<br />
'''Minion 2''': I'm going to let them kill you. }}
* For Valentine's Day 2012, they added "valentines" that the player could deliver to the intended recipient, or misdeliver them to someone else. One is from [[Distressed Dude in Distress|perennially captured]] Midnighter Percy Winkley to [[Ditz|ditzy]]y wannabe villainess Flambeaux; the alternate option is to throw it in a trash can "where it will never be able to harm the universe" – considered the correct choice.
* There is a level 50 Rogue-to-Hero AlighmentAlignment Mission where the player opts to rescue Cabal witches from Crey for a promised reward. But one after the other the 'rewards' the Cabal witches provide are useless mundane items - a charm to prevent headaches, for example. By the end of it, the rogue has abandoned all hope of a decent reward - and then they're attacked by a hero who thinks they're working ''with'' Crey.
* [[Valley Girl|Becky the]] [[Perky Goth|Tarantula Mistress]], as a general rule. But if she accidentally falls into the acid under you during the mission where she appears, she'll last just long enough to get out one final "Bummer!"
