Taunting 101

Posted

I think it's a bit of a let-down that the game has Taunting as a power but all we get for a sound effect is something that sounds like a cow suffering from constipation.

So, I would like to suggest a few lines that could be used specifically against certain bad guys.

Please feel free to add your own.

Damned - “Attack me? Well, in your case I guess you’re You if you do and you’re You if you don’t.”

Bone Daddy – “So… Bone Daddy… is that what you had to do to get that rank in the first place?”

Clockwork (general) – “Your momma was a toaster oven!”

Assembler Prince – “So you have all those Gears running around inside you, huh? Is that like the clockwork version of fleas or is it more a ‘marital aid’ kinda thing?”

Strange Clockwork Activity in King’s Row (singing)- “I’ve been beatin’ on Paladin… All the live-long day… I’ve been beatin’ on Paladin.. So please send a badge my way…”

Embalmed Cadaver – “So.. you drew the short straw, huh?”

Cadaver or Abomination – “Stumbling walk… vomiting green stuff everywhere… unintelligible speech… most of your clothes missing… is it Saint Patrick’s day already?

Mortificator – “Seriously.. You know Doc Vahz… he dresses some of them in tight black leather shorts and the ‘better’ ones in full black leather body suits with hundreds of buckles on it.. he’s not a scientist.. he’s a fetishist isn’t he?”

Any Eidolon – “Wow.. Allllll those buckles.. must be a pain to get out of that suit.. and yet here you are in the sewers all day.. listening to the water.. all that water.. rolling and flowing.. dripping and sloshing…”

Circle of Thorns Archer – “You know that’s a crossbow right? You also know archer’s use bows, right?”

Hordeling Lasher – “Nice tongue… At least now I understand why all the Circle wear robes.”

Soul Mage – “Hey, I have a question.. was John Belushi as <censored> up as everyone said he was?”

Succubus – “Oops.. you gotta little something.. there.. right at the corner of your mouth.”

Lost w/ TV Helmet – “Oh great! They’re televising the World’s Ugliest Dog competition!”

Lost w/ Stop Sign Armor – “Okay.. I’ll sing and you do the dance… here we go.. STOP! In the name of looooove.. before you break my heart!”

Anathema – “Seriously dude.. next time you visit the tanning booth.. wear sun screen..”

Any Lost – “Okay, we have a two step process for your re-entry into normal society.. first step: The Lost Cure… second step: Soap.”

Outcast Charger – “So your powers are electricity-based, huh? Water and you don’t mix then… explains the smell.”

Outcast Cooler – “Before we fight could you hold my beer? It’s gone all warm again.”

Outcast Match – “Can you make just your head light up? And then stand really straight with your arms tight to your sides… Why? No reason.”

Any Trollkin – “Trollkin? TROLLKIN? Isn’t that what they called those little hair dolls back in the 70’s?”

Ogre – “Okay, so which Shrek jokes HAVEN’T you heard yet?”

Any Troll (singing) – “It’s not easy.. being green..”

War Wolves – “What did I tell you about licking yourself when I have company over? Bad doggy!!”

Vampyri – “Wait a sec.. I have something for you.. Now where did I put that coupon for one free session at Tan-O-Rama?”

Yellow Ink Man – “Yeah… ‘Ink’… right…”

Any Tsoo – “So, are you Crouching Tiger or Hidden Doofus?”

Sorcerer – “Nice hat.. You know if you could see better you wouldn’t teleport into walls as often as you do.”

Tsoo Boss: Lost Son – “And I’m sure your Father appreciates it.”

Tsoo Boss: Sky Fall – “You should train this small chicken to announce you whenever you enter a room.. it would be a riot!”

Any Shaman – “No no! Don’t jump up! Don’t bend over! I can see why they freakin’ banished you in the first place!”

Avalanche Shaman – “Ack! I said I DIDN’T want to see why they call you an Avalanche Shaman… and no I don’t have any toilet paper.”

Spirit of Desire – “Okay.. seriously? The 60s are over… deal with it.”

Spirit of Sorrow – “Oh lord… Now I’ve seen it all.. An Emo Tikki.”

Sapper – “I’d make fun of you but quite frankly you guys are usually dead before I could get half the words out anyw… ah crud.”

Hercules Class Titan – “Come one… Come all.. Come and see the world’s only Co-Dependent Robot!”

Any Female Crey Field Agent – “Yeah, baby.. I’m locked and loaded and slotted with Knockback.. no one kicks in mid-air like you do.”

Crey Cryo Tank – “All that refrigeration hardware and they didn’t put in a beer tap? And you people call yourselves scientists.”

Paragon Protector (singing) – “I think I’m a clone now… there’s always two of me just a hangin’ around… I think I’m a clone now… yeah I can stay at home while I’m outta town…”

Any Harlequin/Attendant – “Hey… wouldya lookit that… where did that pole come from? And who turned on that music?”

Any Strongman – “No, really bucket-head… I’m sure they love you for your mind.”


Illusionist – “Yeah.. I understand… I mean your surrounded by scantily clad women all day.. Petticoats are a great way to hide the fact that you’re a little hippy.”

Ring Mistress – “One Dame to lead them all, One Dame to mind them, One Dame to bring them all and in the x-frames bind them.”


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

Well done. You win another internetz. How many are you up to now?

I laughed, and sang, out loud at several of these. Only problem is, you hit ALL of the obvious ones, so now it's going to take a while for me to think of anything for the obscure.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?

A: You crash into another one.

I remember going to a Hami raid back around I5, and the taunt tank had a pile of these types of taunts. Hundreds of 'em. About the only interesting part of the Hami raid.


They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Fixt. The first was the song it was parodied from.

True enough. Also, I just listened to the whole Weird Al song, and the line from the OP isn't actually in his song so it's entirely possible Steelclaw had almost the same idea.

Warhulk: So....do they just pop the top off your tank and sprinkle in some flakes to feed you or...?

Combined Zeus Titan: And I'll make the head!, together we will form....

Hydra: They say that Aphrodite sprang fully formed from Zeus's head... I guess you guys came from his nose, huh?

Arachnoid: Yeah... I was going to generic you for copying Spiderman.. but umm... Peter Parker you ain't... Peter Putrid maybe..

Wolf Spiders: Those little red lights on your helmet.. if they turn green does that mean you're "done"?

Crab Spider Longfang: Whoa, dude... I liked the Ginsu commercials on TV too.. but don't you think this is a bit much?

Follow Up: Wait a second! Let me find a tin can and a tomato!

Crab Spider Webmaster: Hey! I'm glad to see you! We wanted to really party down tonight.. We have the music but were wondering if you'd stand in the corner and use Suppression for the light show.

Bane Spider Scout: Yeah, those lilac-colored shoulder pads... really intimidating.. seriously.

Night Widow: I can see why you're a widow... judging by the outfit I'd say your husband committed suicide in reaction to what you spend on hats.

Fortunata Seer: I never got why they call you "Seers". As near as I can tell there are no eye-holes in that thing. Shouldn't they call you "Fortunata Stumblers"?

Tarantula Mistress: Whoa! Okay, I agree that a little bondage and restraint can be kinky.. but DANG woman!

Toxic Tarantula: Hey, you know what would be hilarious? If I took the life support tube and swapped it with the toxin tube!

Mu Striker: Mu Striker.. nah.. doesn't flow.. I'll just call ya Cow Puncher.

Mu (general): Hey, at Arachnos Company picnics do they tie small strings around your feet and let the kids carry you around as balloons?

Mu (general): Your arms and legs are bound up so how do you get undressed to go to the bathroom? Is that why you guys are always floating around hunched over?

Cabal(any): Okay... I loved "Bewitched" as much as anyone... but there's such a thing as taking it too far.

Gremlin: Anyone got a bucket of water?!

Cimeroran Legionarii: Wow... nice skirt.

Cimeroran Engineer: ACK! I preferred the skirt!!

Minotaur: Whoa, you looked ticked. Yeah, I heard that Mad Cow Disease is a b**ch.

Cyclops: Hey, Mister Depth Perception... I'm right in front of you! No, I'm not 20 feet away.. I'm right there. Oops! Missed me!

Coralax(any): Hey, I just said that Aquaman was a stupid concept for a superhero.. there's no need to take it personally!

Devouring Earth(most of them): Yeah, yeah... I know you're all dangerous and stuff.. but I have a hard time being scared of something that looks like the villain from a Scooby Doo cartoon.

Marcone (any): Okay, seriously guys, the 20's were EIGHTY FREAKIN' YEARS AGO... get over it!

Firbolg(any): Technology is amazing... The world's first ambulatory, self-baking pumpkin pie.

Freakshow(any): It took six million dollars to build Steve Austin as the bionic man... I'm thinking you guys spent.... hmm... $29.95?

Juicer Chief: Sorry to hear about your girlfriend's accident.. but you really should have asked if she had metal fillings before you kissed her.

Meat Doctor: Yeah, I'll take a half pound of honey baked ham aaaaand.. make it a full pound of the roast beef.

Freakshow Tank: Sorry, you may have been cool back in the 50's or 60's .. but if you can't transform into a car or jet or toaster oven or something.. you just can't hold my interest.

Goldbricker (any): Wait a sec... your BOSS calls you Goldbrickers? He does know what that means, doesn't he?

Boomer: Let me guess... they named you that because your the first one to find out that your rocket pack DOES ignite your um... "natural methane emissions"... right?

Infected: See? If you'd listened to me and drank Pepsi instead of Coke you wouldn't be having this problem.


Come people.. surely you make fun of the on screen baddies while playing? What are YOUR taunts?

(The one with the fish flakes for the War Hulk was hilarious, by the way.)

(I've used all of the following lines in-game. One of my villains is a Spider-Man homage.)

Circle of Thorns Mage/Archer/Guide: Uh, I guess this is a bad time...should I give you guys a few minutes to get changed out of your bathrobes?

- (Follow up): Oh, wait, I get it. Oranbega's a freakin' maze. I bet you haven't seen your closets in years.
- (Follow up 2): I'm guessing the real reason your civilisation collapsed is 'cause folks couldn't find the bathroom.

Luddite Hacker: So...do you go on the Internet with an abacus or something?

Nemesis/Fake Nemesis: You do know 'Nemesis' was a Greek goddess, right? Hey, I'm not judging or anything. I just can't help but notice you're carrying that staff all the time...and are those smokestacks compensating for something?

Positron: Ack! ACK! PUT YOUR HELMET BACK ON, DAMNIT! Oh jeez, my EYES!

Mynx: See, I'm trying to figure out why Synapse chose you as a sidekick. Where did he find you, Pocket D?

Statesman: Oh, wait, you got your powers from the Well of the Furies, not Furries. Right, sorry. My mistake.

Ms. Liberty: Hey baby, will ya increase my security level for US dollars?

Rikti: Well, you guys are aliens, right? For a small fee, I can get you a green card...

Rikti Monkeys: Wait, wait, stay right there. I've got a Controller friend who wants to set you on fire...

Carnies: Hey, you girls should merge with the Oranbegans. I mean, they already wear dresses and funny hats. The Circus of Thorns! It'll be a sensation!

Mu Striker/Adept/Guardian: Sooo...does this 'blood of moo' thing mean you guys take animal husbandry to the next level?

Warriors: Warriors...come out and plaaaaaaay.... o/`

Any Nictus/Kheldian NPC: So, are you a Kheldian in 'idiot form'?

Romulus (ITF Final Mission): Yeah, I know you're proud of finally hitting 50, but jeez, humanform Warshade ain't a great build...
- (Follow Up): And the SG colours don't really suit you. I liked your old costume better...
