NPC's Say the Darndest Things

Just recently, in fact.
In reference to my level 50 Thugs/Trick Arrow Mastermind, which makes it perfect in two different ways.
[NPC] Humberto: I saw some guys in demon-masks out by the Oil Slick. They were talking about Slaphappy, and they didn't seem happy.
Castle says something in a dev-created MA mission that pretty much suits everyone that's ever complained about anything. =P

This was very funny, because fusionette said it about my toon, who is a genetically altered pig.
I've always found the really inappropriate NPC quotes to be funny.
Like "I hope my kid grows up to be just like you!"...... when I'm on my massive exhibitionist, The Sunbather. Or some huge mutant rockbeast with dripping spikes sticking out all over. 
I always love te NPC chat on Striga, 'I don't get why we need gears this size anyway?' and the Goldbrickers, 'I used to be in a gang in paragon City, but here I get a jetpac!'
Defiant 50's
Many and varied!

I don't remember, I played it a long time ago, so I'm not sure if it's still up there or not.

My all-time favorite was actually in a perfectly ordinary, pedestrian low-level mission vs. Snakes on the red side. You walk into the last room, attract the attention of the boss snake, and he's programmed to say simply, "$VILLAIN?!" Which isn't all that interesting or funny, right? Except that I was playing this guy:
My teammates and I were almost beaten simply because we were giggling too much to control our characters.

Yeah, I got that once with Professor Neutrino, who is trapped inside a containment suit to prevent his uncontrollable radioactivity from fatally poisoning everyone around him. He was forced to conclude that the woman didn't like her kid very much.

For me, it was with pax, my triform peacebringer. "you want your kid to be a giant flying tapeworm, really?" also, i get a giggle any time an npc makes fun of my outfits...because they are more correct than they even know.

That guy sounds exactly like my Lord Atom. Except, y'know..Atom's a villain...and simply uses the armour to store the radiation at such a mass that it actually acts like a generator. And actively explodes the stuff on people, so, y'know
I find the best ones come from Sam the bartender, the one on the ground floor of Pocket D blueside near the vault. I SWEAR to god that guy listens to convos.
Somebody would say something like 'Thats just wierd' or something, and Sam would come in with 'I hear that'.
He's onto us, I tell you. ON TO US!!

I like to think that what they've seen you do makes them think, it doesn't matter if you're a flying space squid, a giant rock monster or a superpowered stripper, you're a true hero in their eyes. |

I thought superpowered strippers were heroes regardless of what people say.. MAN, have I been wrong!

Mine is the Death worshiping BS/DA scrapper. Complete sociopath, covered in magical tattoos, figured out that if he just kills "bad guys" the so-called "heroes" will leave him alone. Every time someone says it to him, I think, "And he would really like to meet them sometime. Alone."

My friends and I love themes, and we coordinate rather well. So we're all on as angels (real angels...looked up the names and everything).
We're in a dark Freakshow mission and one of the NPC's speaks up as we round the corner:
"Well speak of the...uh...angel!"
And sometimes it suits the situation perfectly.
In this case it was:
Which was amusing because her (Eve Hallow, Axe/WP Brute) description says:
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
