I heard an NPC say this: "If the drug the Destroyers all take is orange, why does it turn them red?"

 

Followed by this:

After I rescued this hacker from the Hellions (screenshotted because I didn't feel like trying to type out his name):

I'm pretty sure you can highlight in-game text in the chat windows and copy it with ctrl-C.  It might lead to some odd formatting but it's doable.

That works. I usually screenshot these things so I remember to share them later, as opposed to sharing them immediately when I see them.

Wait a minute, @huang3721!

 

What is THAT!?

 

Enhance.

 

Enhance!

 

ENHANCE, YOU COWARD!

 

...

 

No . . . NO!  They told me he was dead!  DEAD!!!

 

Oh god . . . 

It's him . . . 

 

 . . . we're doomed.

Doing Television's arc redside, and I'm inside the horror movie to get rid of the Freakshow who have somehow been sucked into it.

 

Metal Smasher: "'No, let's just watch some movies tonight,' you said!

Metal Swiper: "Dude, I had NO idea!

Metal Smasher: "Well, at least there's some violence in here to sate our media-shortened attention spans."

I used to love the lines from the Desperate Guy and Turndown Girl in Pocket D. 

 

Many of the good ones seem to be gone nowadays but man Turndown Girl had some epic burns.

 

Desperate Guy <some lame pickup line>
Turndown Girl "I like your approach.  Now let's see your departure."

 

That's the only one I recall at the moment, sadly.

Another Classic from Doc' Buzzsaw's missions:

[Troyusrex]

Whoever wrote the Doc. Buzzsaw arc has my respect! 

 [NPC] Sgt. Yorkshire: This is the LAST TIME I cover a shift for Russell. A PUN convention? Is that even a thing? He's going to owe me for this one.

 

Later...

 

[NPC] Agent Tavish Bell: I can't afford another demotion.
[NPC] Agent Tavish Bell: I... can't go back... to customer service.

 

And a bit later still....

 [NPC] Dr. Alexander: Nothing can go right for me this year.
[NPC] Dr. Alexander: Sometimes I wish I had just followed Dad's advice and taken welding.

That looks like @Piecemeal's new stuff, @Troyusrex.

You can thank them directly!

While flying through First Ward:

[NPC] Resistance Fighter: Aw, this ain't good. He done got baconized!
[NPC] Resistance Fighter: You're about to get it all polar bear-style without the syrup, know what I'm sayin'?

 

[NPC] Oppressor: When this is over...
[NPC] Oppressor: I'm going to find you and make you do the most unspeakable things to yourself and your little friends...
[NPC] D.U.S.T. Leader: I can't wait.

[Troo]

'Baconized' & 'Polar Bear Style' those are awesome.

No, I don't know what you're sayin'.

From Statesman/Ms. Liberty(?) Task Force:

 

Dr. Aeon's trap Dr. Aeon: Ah-ha-ha-ha! You 'Stupor-powered' fools have fallen into my brilliant trap! Allow me to explain: That portal didn't send you to a secret base, instead it sent you into the future, where my Web device has allowed Lord Recluse to conquer the world! Mwha-ha-ha! But don't worry, fools! I've made arrangements to have you captured by some of Arachnos's operatives here in the future. Like Regent Korol, Magus Mu'Drakhan, Shadow Spider, And Viridian, Each has part of the code needed to open this door: And set this portal to send you back to the present: So just sit tight and wait to be taken prisoner. And whatever you do, don't even think about fighting them! There's no way you could win, so don't even try it! I can't believe I just told them how to escape like that! Okay, just erase this recording and we'll start again. Bane Spider Executioner: Uh, sir? Dr. Aeon: What? Bane Spider Executioner: Uh... You said you wanted to transmit this, uh, live... Dr. Aeon: AAAAH! Shut it off! Shut it off!

 

And speaking of STF/MLTF, the debriefing of the last mission isn't particularly funny, but I still love it because it feels epic.

 

Recluse is defeated, and his plans are in ruins. Honestly, I wish I had been the one to do it, but... that's pride talking.

No, this is your day, this is your moment to shine! Look over this great city, and see what you have done today! Every person who lives in freedom from this day forward owes that freedom to your valor, your determination, and your heroism. Recluse may yet return, but you have shown the people of the world that they need no longer live in fear of his name. For when evil arises, it shall be confronted and defeated by the champions of this City of Heroes!

Villain tips for Vigilantes are fun.  Here's a bit of banter from Mangle and Stardusk

 

Mangle: STARDUSK! Get over here NOW, you pathetic excuse for a bloated, diseased heifer!

Stardusk: QUIT YOUR WHINING! I found the Amuleteer and she's an easy -

Stardusk: $player? Oh, this just got interesting.

Stardusk: And by interesting, I mean 'Awwww crap.'

I mean.... anyone who's worked in Customer Service can feel for the poor guy.

I forget exactly which ring of Dante's Inferno was Tech Support or working a Service Desk, but It's GOT to be in there, somewhere.

Random NPC commenting on Brother Hammond's mission.

 

 I don't buy Aeon's 'freak electromagnetic storm' explanation. I'm pretty sure a demon ate my dog.

Just now, while waiting for the Lusca team to assemble:

 

 [NPC] Capo Gunner: It's like I always say, 'if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, riddle them with bullets'!

[ninja surprise]

Portal corp dudes on shrooms or something...

 

 

[NPC] Portal Corporation scientist: Peaches! Sourdough! Agate! Marine!
[NPC] Portal Corporation scientist: You sing happiness go home?
[NPC] Portal Corporation scientist: Zip zop.
[NPC] Portal Corporation scientist: Boats on banana paper.
[NPC] Portal Corporation scientist: Crustacean fancy pants plaza.
[NPC] Portal Corporation scientist: Pink snowflakes write sculpture.
 

[ZorkNemesis]

Random Hellions in the Hollows.  I swear the Hollows has some of the best random conversations.

 

Blood Brother Chopper: Well, i'm just saying, we fight great and stuff.  But how can we really make a statement?

Blood Brother Chopper (a different one):  Flamethrowers.

 

EDIT: Also

PPD COP: Standard stuff.  Hellions and Skulls beating each other senseless.  I could break it up, but why?

Even Dante couldn't conceive that level of hell.

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!

[ZorkNemesis]

Skulls...Girlfriend?  I might have misread this one, but if I did, easy mistake.

 

Skulls Girlfriend: Oh yeah. Can you believe it? She dumped in for a Legacy Chain guy.
