I'll second the Exploding Planet as well. It was fun. The last mission, while tough, isn't really impossible. I would suggest a travel power and a lot of AoE for it. And don't be afraid to use insps.
Bonus points for deliciously corny costumes.

Wicked, Wicked Wonderland - # 1224
@ancientspirit
Reason: This arc is just plain fun. Nifty custom characters. Clever writing. Interesting plot. Fun souvenier for completion. Plus, great innuendo kinda reminiscent of Jessica Rabbit "playing pattycake" in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. 
Be sure to read all the bios and NPC dialogue.

Thanks for including "Wicked, Wicked Wonderland," and saying such nice things about it.
It's been sitting at about 200 plays/4 stars for awhile so I hope being listed here rekindles some interest in it.
I know it's a dev's choice ,but Saul Rubenstien's Discount TF by Ascendant. If you want to see a funny, well done, and one with attention to detail, this is it.

Title: Limits of Parental Tolerance
This arc made the villain in me sing. Every parent has things that bug them about what their kid watches on TV or listens to as music, but not often do they get to do something permanent about it.
I thought this arc was really well written, funny and had some of the fewest spelling and grammar mistakes I've seen in a while.

Arc 1472
I played this arc the first week that the MA debuted, and it remains one of my favorites. This is a compelling, well-balanced arc for the 1-14 level range.

It was a lot of fun to put together, and it's gotten generally positive responses. I think if I can manage to find the time to do more arcs, I'll probably continue with this format: short arcs in a humorous (I hope) style.

Exploding Planet

Author:@ Fantastic Foe
Reason: I have never played any other arc like it. It created a whole new world, complete with a language and at the same time was so funny. I loved this arc!
Warning: You may fail in the last mission. I cheated by getting help and beat it by 1 second (yes it is timed and i normally don't care for timed, but it this care it fit).
Tons of fun
