City of Hero’s: Who’s the tank
(shamelessly inspired by the timeless Abbott and Costello baseball routine)


Recently heard on broadcast in Atlas Park


Noob: AE farm team forming, one spot left
54 month vet: I’m might be interested, if ya got a decent team.
Noob: It should be good, we got a tank, defender, blaster, etc, you know the usual; they just have very peculiar names is all
54 month vet: Funny names?
Noob: You know names, hero names. Now, on my team we have Who's the tank, What's the defender, I Don't Know is the blaster--
54 month vet: That's what I want to find out. I want you to tell me the names of the dudes on your team.
Noob: I'm telling you. Who's the tank, What's the defender, I Don't Know is the blaster--
54 month vet: You know the fellows' names?
Noob: Yes.
54 month vet: Well, then who's the tank?
Noob: Yes.
54 month vet: I mean the fellow's name, the tank?
Noob: Who.
54 month vet: The dude that is tanking.
Noob: Who.
54 month vet: The meat shield?
Noob: Who is the tank.
54 month vet: Well, what are you askin' me for?
Noob: I'm not asking you--I'm telling you. Who is the tank.
54 month vet: I'm asking you--who's the tank?
Noob: That's the dude’s name.
54 month vet: That's who's name?
Noob: Yes.

54 month vet: When your tank gets XP and tickets, who gets the stuff?
Noob: Every bit of it. And why not, the dude is entitled to it.
54 month vet: Who is?
Noob: Yes.
54 month vet: So who gets it?
Noob: Why shouldn't he? Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.
54 month vet: Who's wife?
Noob: Yes. After all, the dude earns it.
54 month vet: Who does?
Noob: Absolutely.
54 month vet: Well, all I'm trying to find out is what's the guy's name that is gonna tank for you?
Noob: Oh, no, no. What is the defender.
54 month vet: I'm not asking you who's the defender.
Noob: Who's the tank!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
54 month vet: Gulp . . . do you have some other support dudes?
Noob: Oh, absolutely.
54 month vet: The controllers name?
Noob: Why.
54 month vet: I don't know, I just thought I'd ask.
Noob: Well, I just thought I'd tell you.
54 month vet: Then tell me who's the controller?
Noob: Who's the tank.
54 month vet: Stay out of the main dudes! The controllers name?
Noob: Why.
54 month vet: Because I want to know.
Noob: Oh, he's a scrapper.
54 month vet: Wait a minute. You got a Peace Bringer on this team?
Noob: Wouldn't this be a fine team without a PB?
54 month vet: Tell me the PB’s name.
Noob: Tomorrow.
54 month vet: Why do I have to wait to hear the PB’s name.
Noob: I just told you.
54 month vet: Tell me the PB’s name!
Noob: Tommow.

54 month vet: AHHHGGGRRRR!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
54 month vet: Let me try it this way, when the first group attacks--me being a team player--I want the tank to get the aggro, so I let who taunt?
Noob: Now, that's he first thing you've said right.
54 month vet: I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
Noob: Don't get excited. Take it easy.
54 month vet: I pull a group to a corner, whoever it is grabs the aggro, so who’s health starts to drop. Who runs over to what. What throws a buff to I don't know. I don't know knocks the boss back to tomorrow--a triple play.
Noob: Yeah, it could be.
54 month vet: A second group shows up and goes after your scrapper.
Noob: Because.
54 month vet: Why. . . I don't know. And I don't care.
Noob: What was that?
54 month vet: I said, I DON'T CARE!
Noob: Oh, that's our Warshade!

Shouldn't Costello be the Noob?


Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

This is pure win. And makes me want to create a character for it. I call "I don't care" the Warshade!

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Avon: No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.
