* This Troper is not sure whether this technically belongs in this category or not, but approximately a week or so before the ''Wrath of the Lich King'' expansion came out, Thrall disappeared from his chamber for a few hours. The official forums proceeded to speculate on what he was doing and where he was during that time. This led to many responses simply saying "Jaina." But the absolute best was in response to one of these, where the poster simply wrote:

** It counts.

* For Hunters only, but:

** Step 1 - Get someone to shoot you with a Turkey Shooter.

** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1bP-m_BwX0 The Day That Deathwing Came]".

** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvF1o1ObPr0 Welcome to the Machine]".

*** In the same area, [http://www.wowhead.com/quest=28154/muckgills-flipper-or-something Muckgill's Flipper or Something].

*** Also in that area is [http://www.wowhead.com/quest=28156 Deep Mine Rescue]. This is your commander's response upon saving Dumass:

* The [http://www.wowpedia.org/A_Steamy_Romance_Novel Steamy Romance Novels].

* The Defias Messenger in Westfall's aggro.

* Drakuru's questline in Grizzly Hills, specifically the final quest where he asks you to summon him to Drak'Tharon Keep. The quest itself isn't really that funny, but the reaction of everyone in the dungeon group when {{spoiler|the Lich King}} steps out of the portal is simply priceless. Too bad everything from there's a bit of an anti-climax.

** One time in Guildchat...

"I tried that once with Flametongue, but I got third-degree burns on my hands, so I wouldn't suggest trying that." }}

"Well, it all started with a badly-timed [[Chuck Norris]] fact and it turned into that." }}

** Right after 4.03...

[[Gannon Banned|"Gamon Banned?"]] }}

** A discussion on the armor selection available to Mages resulted in the inevitable "tissue paper" comment, upon which someone remarked:

* Sometimes, you find funny things in the comments section of WowHead.

"It's because you try to turn the animal friendly by wanting to hug it. After a while, it gives in." }}

* A post-Cataclysm quest chain in the Thousand Needles area involves running around and freeing a bunch of captured baby wyverns, called pridelings. For a while after freeing them, they'll follow you around. The quest chain eventually has you taking on the [[Jerkass]] responsible for ordering the pridelings trapped. When you finally find him, and work him down to about 10% health {{spoiler|the pridelings you freed earlier swarm him, pick him up, and throw his ass off a cliff. Even the quest giver thinks that's a hoot.}}

** The very first quest you get for a goblin character involves taking a "surprise" from your assistant to the foreman in appreciation for his hard work. He gleefully opens the package as soon as you give it to him. {{spoiler|It's a ''bomb''.}} Pretty much tells you everything you need to know about goblins, right there.

* [[Tropers/Kraas|This troper]] was checking out the new jokes on his goblin rogue, and there's this one that fits ''perfectly'' for that race & class combination:

** The inevitable video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnC87uLVWwM with the proper music].

** On the topic of Uldum quests, the daily [http://www.wowhead.com/quest=28250 Thieving Little Pluckers] will probably end up a favorite.

*** The undead rock star riding a dinosaur riding a rocket-powered laser shark was originally added to the Maelstrom area in the Cataclysm beta, when testers said the maelstrom wasn't "epic enough". The shark is called "Epicus Maximus, Paragon of Epicosity", the T-Rex is called "And a Dinosaur", and the rider is called "ROCK ON".

* The revelation in a Felwood quest that an Imp's [[Weaksauce Weakness]] is ''rainbows''.

* [http://www.wowpedia.org/Quest:The_Bears_Up_There Bear Chucking]. The quest text is as hilarious as the quest itself.

** And it's succeeded by [http://www.wowhead.com/quest=29101 Punting Season].

They also have hard teeth, so don't pick them up by the mouth. }}

** Also from Hyjal is [http://www.wowhead.com/npc=39640#comments Kristoff Manheim], who was sent into an ogre cave to research the Eye of Twilight and who you encounter hanging from a chain.

'''Kristoff:''' <name>. Can I call you <name>? I am hanging from a meathook in the back of an ogre cave. How do you THINK my research is progressing, you pompous dirt-sucking ass-<class>? C'mere! C'mere you son of a swineheard! ''<Kristoff flutters back and forth on his chain, trying desperately to kick you in the face>'' }}

*** When you retrieve the key to his chain but opt ''not'' to immediately free him:

'''Kristoff:''' You... WHAT? Come over here and say that! ''<Kristoff kicks and flails his limbs in a frothing rage, his head twisting around to glare at you.>'' So help me, I will - [[Angrish|I am going to]] - I will knock your brains out! I will fill the empty cavity left behind with my boot! Come here! GET BACK HERE! ''<Kristoff strains to grasp your neck, his fingers wriggling inches from your face.>'' }}

*** And, finally, when you turn in the last quest, informing the person who sent him into the cave in the first place of the rescue:

* In Blackwing Descent, we have an encounter with Nefarian's [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|half-wit]] minion, Malorian. When you beat him, [[Deadpan Snarker|Nefarian congratulates you in the most sarcastic way possible]], and grants you [[The Magnificent|the title of]] "Slayer Of Stupid, Incompetent, and Disappointing Minions", with a [http://www.wowhead.com/spell=89798 buff] to go along with it.

** Some of the victims respond as well:

"My neck! You'll be hearing from my lawyer!" }}

* Getting the turtle mount from the trading card game (which doesn't increase your movement speed at all), and going around a capital city singing "Slow ride! Take it easy!"

* [http://www.wowpedia.org/Mammoth#Mounts Mammoth] parades.

* By the time you get to the Cho'gall encounter in Bastion of Twilight, you will likely have become somewhat tired of his long-winded speeches, with the (insane and possessed) "Gall" head continually interrupting the "Cho" head to make rambling declarations of doom and chaos. Well, when you get to the room where you actually fight Cho'gall, his introductory speech shows that Cho is getting as fed up with Gall as you are, because he tells himself several times to just shut the hell up and stop interrupting him...self.

"Murder." }}

* In the same area, Crawgol writes a field guide to silithids... which is [http://www.wowhead.com/item=50162/crawgols-silithid-field-guide ridiculously uninformative].

* The books in the death knight starting zone. Subjects include, Scourge table manners, a nutritional handbook for zombies, a Scourge-written romance novel, four journals written by a new death knight, retelling his perspective of both Scholomance and Stratholme, lampshading how idiotic and crazy the bosses of both areas are, and also that he was being hit on by a Nerubian, and finally a book listing new death knights, including [[Fluffy the Terrible|Harmony]], who was "struck down because her name was against Scourge decency."

* Upon handing in the quest "Mystery of the Sarcen Stone" in Azshara, Malynea Skyreaver has a short conversation with Custer Clubnik.

'''Malynea:''' Clubnik? I hope you die. In a fire. }}

** A brilliant example of [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]!

* During Children's Week, you get to shepard around some orphans. Along the way, they make some random commentary, some of which is delightfully adorable and hilarious:

** Dorna, the Draenei:

"If I hold my breath, what color would I turn?" }}

** Shalindria, the Blood Elf

"Boys have cooties and girls have beauty!" }}

** The Orc

"I have a rock in my nose." }}

** The Human

Mushrooms always grow in damp places and so they look like umbrellas.<br />

If overalls are held up by the snaps at the top, then why do they have belt loops? }}

* In the revamped Zul'Gurub, Bloodlord Mandokir (As part of his fight mechanic) will one-shot a player and level up, having since apparently become aware of how leveling works, he goes...

Jin'Do (the final boss, heard from the distance): 'Ey! Gratz mon! }}

* Millhouse Manastorm. Possibly the best gnome ever, even after you discover he's {{spoiler|part of the Twilight's Hammer}}.

* Although I never played WoW, I find Mysteries of the Infinite, along with its sequel, to be humorous. In the first, your future self appears to help you, and then it turns out that you are in a time loop, and must aid your past self (aka you from the first part). Both your future and past selves are quite snarky and hang quite a few lampshades.

* The Winterfin murlocs in Northrend, who all have their names in gibberish to reference their incomprehensible language. They also have their own version of Demoralizing Shout, amusingly named Demoralizing Mmmrrrggglll.

** A death knight who was turned into the ghoul minion of another death knight and retained his excellent cooking abilities.

** The writer of the book stating that you need more cowbell.

* One Alliance quest chain in Grizzly Hills starts with the player eating some amberseeds out of a bucket. When they want more, the NPC they turn to tells them how vital the seeds were and that he needs them back before you digest them. Take a wild guess how you get them out of your system.

* The Butcherbot in Tanaris is possibly the most hilariously disturbing thing in the game. It's a little robot with claws that you're supposed to call to butcher freshly killed animals. While it's doing this, it yells things like,

"I want the arterieeeeeeeees!" }}

* Overlapping with [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]], death knights have a spell in the Unholy talent tree called Corpse Explosion, which as the name implies causes dead mobs (except mechanicals and elementals due to them being inorganic) and players to explode leaving behind chunks of flesh or a ribcage. Other than being a useful spell for damaging crowds, it can just be used on dead mobs if you have a lot of runic power left [[For the Evulz|for a good laugh]].

** Hell, you can also cast it on your ghoul minions and turn them into suicide bombers.

* Chromie's reaction to {{spoiler|seeing Mannoroth being pulled through the Well of Eternity and back into the Twisting Nether.}}

* One quest in the Redridge Mountains rewards you with a Dwarven Fishing Pole. [[Non-Indicative Name|It's]] [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|a]] [[Mundane Utility|gun]], and its description reads "Dwarves aren't known for their subtlety".

* As a druid, one of the funniest things ever is the Gunship Battle in ICC. Why? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEBZUXhSbOA Rocket bears.]

* A rare-spawn graverobber in Duskwood lampshades the fact that graverobbers like her are considered scum, but your looting corpses is totally OK.

* In the blood elf starting zone, there's a quest where an apprentice mage asks you to find a spellbook in a river and tell his mentor you dropped it in a puddle so he won't take the heat. As righteous as you are, you tell the mentor the truth. He then asks you to discipline his two apprentices using a rod that polymorphs them into boars.

** Similarly in the night elf starting zone there's a quest where a satyr has you gather items from the local wildlife. When the Council of the Forest hears about what you did you're sent to gather fel cones (pinecones containing fel magic) and give them to him. He eats them and gets polymorphed into a frog.

* You help a goblin priest (who airdrops in via parachute) exorcize a "haunted tractor" in Azshara. Unfortunately you both get the tractor destroyed... and yet, the priest still tells you to remind the owner about the bill for the exorcism services.

* Maximillian of Northshire is a blowhard knight in Un'Goro Crater, who hires you as his squire. You join him as he helps three fair maidens... {{spoiler|(by chucking one off a cliff to save her from being trapped, killing another's pet bird because it was an "evil phoenix", and retrieving the purse of the last one, an apparently male blood elf)}} Later, you help him slay evil "dragons" (dinosaurs) until you anger the "Dragon Queen" (actually the Devilsaur Queen) and are forced to flee her wrath on Maximillian's horse... and try to defeat her by chucking rocks, which doesn't work out so well. Eventually, Maximillian gets desperate and {{spoiler|takes off his armor until he's down to his boxers... and asks you to chuck the armor at the rampaging dinosaur [[For Massive Damage]]}}.

* One of the death knight starting zone quests has you collect skulls of Scarlet Crusaders and New Avalon citizens for Noth the Plaguebringer. When he asks you if you notice anything missing from the pumpkin patch he's standing in front of he snidely tells you "Of course you don't, because you're a moron! Your brain was probably the first thing to die". Made funnier by this being during a particularly dark quest chain.

* "What's that smell? Ohhh! Bad dog!"
