"You know this because you are psychic" is a good one in my books, definitely.

Indeed, heaps of LOL. The last thing I need is more crap to rub in my face.

Easily the best quest text *ever*. I dare you to find something not only more humorous but strangely exciting and terrifying all at the same time.

I always like the Area 52 Neuralyzer debuff.

Here's my favorite (read the PS on page 2):

Watching the NPCs run away from the mini Mechanical Yeti gave me a few good chuckles when I did it. Also the many references they make to other games (like the Zelda reference: "The secret lies on the easternmost peninsula" or however that goes).

Not strictly quest text, but it is in the category of "flavor". I like the gnome that gets released from a cage at the end-boss in Arcatraz.

I've had endless laughs with some of the NPC dialogue in the game. Here are some of my favorites (in order of when I found the corresponding screenshots):

(1) Solo quest in Area 52 where you bring something back to a goblin. He does something dangerous and unwise with it, it blows up and a "Doctor" is summoned. After a bunch of talk back and forth he says "Dammit, Boots, I'm a doctor not a priest! Clear!!!"

(2) Below one of the Manaforges in Netherstorm, you encounter Agent Ya-six who gives you a mission. And he sends you off with a reflection of himself to help you out. As the reflection appears the conversation goes like this:

Reflection of Ya-six says: Look at that handsome grouping of chaotic energies!
Agent Ya-six says: Oh stop! You're going to make me turn red and then someone is going to mistake me for Ethereum and kill me.

(3) The quest text for "Ripple Recovery" and "A Sticky Situation" from The Hinterlands. For brevity, I'll just say that it ends with the quest-giver's comment, "Onward - for great booze!"

(4) From Apothecary Dithers at The Bulwark while on your quest for the Scholomance Key. Part of the quest text: "I'm an apothecary, not a banker. If I had gold lying around, I certainly wouldn't be here. ... I guess I said the quiet part out loud again. Oops."

and probably my favorite...

(5) When you complete the turn-in for the quest "Of Thistleheads and Eggs..." you give a Rotten Arakkoa Egg to Tobias the Filth Gorger in Shattrath City. When you do so, he takes it, eats it, then walks a few steps away and belches loudly. Then everyone in about a 20 yard radius starts puking green slime all over the place and this little kid named Gordie yells "It's a complete and total barf-o-rama! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" -- which is a reenactment of the pie-eating contest and barf scene from the movie "Stand By Me" Totally hilarious!

Captain Winky tells me that the Dark Irons in the Depths got all the good stuff. Ain't that right, Winky?



ARRR MATEY! IT BE RIGHT!

See what I'm saying? You need to get in there and bring me back some samples of the good stuff.

Get in there and shake your moneymaker!

OH WONDERFUL!



DELICIOUS! Look at all these goodies!

Take one for yourself, . There's plenty to go around.

I know what fanny pack means over in America, but holy hell that was funny. When he "took a whiff" and yelled "DELICIOUS! Look at all these goodies!" I was completely in stitches. Also, "Get in there and shake your moneymaker!", LOL?

My favorite is a drop, but you commonly find it while working on the Azsharite quest in Azshara. It's the crystalized note (in two forms, no less).

Everytime I get to the Plaguelands, I go up to Smoky LaRue, to see what tasks he would offer me. And I always say to myself, "That IS asking a lot..."

The only quests that ever made me laugh were the poop quests in Nagrand.

You! Mighty Warrior of the Alliance! Who has slained countless powerful foes such as Ragnaros! Nefarian! Hakkar! Ossirian! Onyxia! The 4 green dragons spread throughout the corners of the World!

...go pick up some poop for me kthnx.

There's been a few things in game that craked me up. The plane with snakes all over it Nagrand...

The corki quests. That damn kid is so annoying. First off his name alone makes me laugh, then I have to rescue him like 4 times. The conversations he has with the ogres are pretty leet. "mmm me hungry. Me turn Corki into poop." lolol

The starship trooper bug invasion of Toshi's station. "come one you apes! you wanna live forver!" And then they roam out mounted on their mechostriders... "rough riders! Move out!"

I haven't been to Outland, where apparently the best ones are, but there's a quest in the Draenei starting zone with an A-Team reference.

Not to mention the quest giver's name itself is kinda clever.

I love the text you get when you turn in The Phylactery of Kel'Thuzad:

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22520


The phylactery is all that remains of the master of Naxxramas. Your better judgment dictates that you destroy the phylactery, preventing the lich from ever reforming. Thankfully, you seldom listen to that internal voice of reason.

Someone at Light's Hope will pay you hugely for this artifact. Who cares if Kel'Thuzad regenerates to full power?

It isn't quest text, heck it isn't text at all, but why do the dwarf flight masters tell you to "Keep yer feet on the ground."????????
