Line 37:
** Spoony's fascination with the "double club." And then he and Bennett spend ages thinking up double version of other weapons.
*** Made even funnier with the [[Beyond the Impossible|"Double Spiked Club"]].
* While the ''[[Thieves' World]]'' story gets ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150122004544/http://blip.tv/the-spoony-experiment/counter-monkey-thieves-world-part-1-poor-impulse-control-6001618 really]'' dark, '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131012193150/http://blip.tv/the-spoony-experiment/counter-monkey-thieves-world-part-2-the-chicago-way-6001413 really]''' fast, the story of some no name idiot mage throwing a bottle of acid at Tempus Thales face still had me laughing for five minutes straight. It couldn't have been a better punchline if Spoony had ''planned'' it because it was all set up perfectly, from the minor tangent early on talking about the devious horror of chucking flasks of acid at people in combat, to the descriptions of how he reacted to getting '''acid in the face''', it will leave you gasping for breath.
{{quote|"He got a flask of acid to the face- ''there's no good way to take that!''}}
** What makes that particular moment even more hilarious is that, usually it's impossible to hit Tempus Thales, and in fact, Spoony intended to have him dodge the flask or simply get hit in the chest and shrug it off as a mild annoyance. The problem was that the mage - precisely at that place and at that time - ''rolled a crit''. Spoony proceeds to reenact his reaction to it by facepalming and going "Oh... oh no...".
Line 51:
** His frustration with the player who created a character devoted with the goddess of death, who was always brooding and even seeking out corpses to sing her praises over. He was only kept around because he could heal people; and even then he would only heal them if they would promise to say a prayer to the goddess.
{{quote|'''Spoony''': Ugh. (''bored monotone'') "I pledge allegiance to the Reaper…"}}
* While the ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150122004532/http://blip.tv/the-spoony-experiment/counter-monkey-the-prisoner-dilemma-6010925 Prisoner Dilemma]'' vlog ([http://countermonkeybook.blogspot.ca/2007/11/concerning-alignments-throttling.html Text Version]) is mostly a serious talk about [[Character Alignment]], the part about [[Chaotic Neutral]] characters is worth a chuckle.
{{quote|'''Spoony''': A [[Chaotic Neutral]] character could very well burn down the orphanage, I would be like "Why did you do that!?" and they would be like "*Shrug* Eh.". *Shrugs* ''I can't argue with that''!}}
* An especially flaky player in the same ''Thieves World'' game once called in to say he'd be late, because he had to go back home to get his pants. "[["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer|It's so stupid, it had to be true]]" and Noah spends the next 15 seconds assuring us that he didn't make it up.
Line 60:
** The title of the Vlog alone is comedy gold. "The Importance of Wearing Pants."
** Oreo randomly licking Burton's arm near the beginning.
* In ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130516064831/http://blip.tv/the-spoony-experiment/counter-monkey-dungeon-mastering-a-great-game-6049938 Dungeon Mastering A Great Game]'', he provides a tip for dealing with players addressing a [[Plot Hole]]: simply saying "Yes, that is odd..." or a similar phrase (coupled to an enigmatic smile) can turn an immersion-breaking error into an [[Oh Crap]] moment, getting the players paranoid that things aren't what they seem.
** A wizard once mocked his half-orc rogue for his inability to pick pockets. He was promptly clubbed over the head and mugged, demonstrating that [[Call Back|he wasn't that kind of thief]].
*** The wizard's [[Actually Pretty Funny|lighthearted and amused reaction]] only makes it sweeter.
