"Oil Slick? WTH?"
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

Yes. Oh, that is quite possibly the thing I treasure seeing most in seven-odd years of playing. And I've seen the video of the five-minute Hami raid.

And that's just from APPROACHING her. |
Becky, the Tarantula Mistress: Like, Ohmigawd! Character! We are so gonna totally rock now! Like, I have always SOOO wanted to meet you! And now we can like, totally fight together and all sorts of stuff. All the other Fortunatas were all TOTALLY like 'Tarantula Program? Eeew!' And then they were like, 'Like, what are you thinking, Becky?' And I was totally like 'I'll get to meet all kinds of interesting people and stuff.' And look, here I am, like, totally fighting alongside YOU! This is even better then when I worked with Silver Mantis. She's, like, totally uptight, until you get to know her, y'know? But this is sooo much better than that. |

Vernon von Grun, extract from final dialogue: ...thank you, Character, thank you! You've made my mad dreams of making science run amok finally come true! I'll never forget you, and the world will never forgive you! |
Also, High-Roller in my signature.

Although it's already been said, my favourite so far is:
Quote:
A close second, although admittedly not really a phrase, is this conversation between a Freakshow Tank and Sky Raider Captain:| Nemesis Officer: I assure you, my good man, Nemesis is most definitely "down with the street". Word up, my homie, as it were. |
Quote:

Furious B: Yah, man! Flying Freakshow! Think of the possibilities! Lt. Krieg: You have GOT to be kidding me! Furious B: C'mon! Weld a rocket on to me right now! Lt. Krieg: ... Lt. Krieg: Uh, no. |

Ah... Hold on, Character! Let us hold on for a moment. This isn't nearly as exciting as I would have hoped. You're a good fighter, I have to admit! Not the best, but that's mainly because I'm the best. Now let's see... what can you and I do to make this more exciting? More daring? Hrm... AHA! I have got it! Just give me a moment and... [GIANT EXPLOSION] There we go! Explosions! Fire! Always good at making things more dramatic. Now, I shall make my dramatic re-entrance. If you pardon me, Character. |
Heard from many different scrappers:
"Oooo! Targets!"
*Giggles*
"Don't run, you'll only die tired."
"The side that is unhappy is not the side that the game was intended to make happy, or promised to make happy, or focused on making happy. The side that is unhappy is the side that is unhappy. That's all." - Arcanaville
"Surprised your guys' arteries haven't clogged with all that hatred yet." - Xzero45
"Wow, Blood, thanks for the great (insert task force name here)!" Hehe
From Doc Buzzsaw:
"Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaut of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. How could this have all gone wrong?"
...I forgot what experience means.
"Where's Hero Name? I was only taking a second to check my salvage!" - Fusionette
Quote:
Curses, you beat me to it... That whole arc, all of Doc Buzzsaw's dialog... So full of win.|

The best I've uttered in recent memory, after getting scrapperlock on my Bane: "Ah defeat, I should have expected this. After all, the bonkstick is a harsh mistress."
All that is planned fails. All that is born dies.
All that is built crumbles. This will always be true.
But memories remain, And that is beautiful.
A few of my favorites:

Another personal favorite of mine is whenever a sniper hits me (or tries) and I find them: "YOUR FIRST MISTAKE WAS PROVING TO ME THAT YOU EXIST!"

Some of mine:
"Laugh with me!" -Vernon von Grun (already posted, but it can't be said enough)
"PRAETOR BERRY IS STUPID." -some Praetorian clock
"Now, everyone listen to my evil plan ..." - scanner mission bosses
"Bombarding the CoH/V fora with verbosity since January, 2006"
Djinniman, level 50 inv/fire tanker, on Victory
-and 40 others on various servers

Phrase frequently used by me:
BANZAI!!!!
Translation: If you are squishy and unable to cope with the agro I'm about to generate, you are probably going to die. I apologize in advance.

I'm Infernia. I'm with the Omega Team. Glacia, my sister, is here, too. We snuck in with a supply shipment, but I didn't think it was taking us home. There's a lot I need to tell your commanders. Is Lady Grey still in command? Or Statesman? Or Blue Steel? Nothing could have killed that guy. I know we have a mission, but I've got so many questions! Like, did anyone ever figure out what was up with the Clockwork King? Or what about all that build-up on Striga Island? Oooh, I wonder if my apartment in Overbrook's still there? It probably got rented, but I'm sure dad kept the family place in Downtown Astoria. Hey, did Manticore and Sister Psyche ever get together? I always wondered about that. Aw, now I can't stop thinking about eating an Up-and-Away burger! Most Rikti food tastes like algae unless you can get its psychic 'flavor transmission'. This one time, Glacia and I found a wild apple tree while we were escaping a patrol. It was like heaven! All these years. I can't believe I'm back home. |
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
I glad von Grun is on here already. I love almost everything he says. Some more favorites from him that I don't think are on here yet:
"Are you ready, Character? Are you ready to wreak the terrible will of Science?"
"Take more bees!"
"I don't know if you've noticed but I've been trying a couple different styles of evil laugh. It's hard to pick the right one."
"I'll have to give my 2 week notice in the traditional fashion by attempting to build a killer robot or evil demi-human clone, of course, and there'll be setting up a lab. Oh, and I'll need some twisted assistants, must give back to the community."
And a couple from Viridian's arc:
"I think I'm gonna need a new arm! Cool!" - Dreck, Freakshow leader, while getting beaten up.
"And this is why I never invite Nemesis to anything." -The Center gives guest list advice.
"Mastermind Pets operate...differently, and aren't as easily fixed. Especially the Bruiser. I want to take him out behind the woodshed and pull an "old yeller" on him at times." - Castle
"We're using your body for science...nothing personal." - Vahzilok

I do love how almost all the mad scientists are probably quite nice people to work with but incredibly dangerous to work with at the same time.
Well, in that Villain Tip mission where you have to trick some heroes, Frostfire turns up and well .. he made a sad 
"I couldn't even .. save this one person."
Poor Frostie, he tries so hard.
EDIT: Who could forget when a civilian says "Did you hear? *heroname* beat down BOSS_NAME !"
That damned BOSS_NAME ...
I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...
almost anything from dean macarther lol
"you and dean share an intense high five" lol
I love it when someone makes a somewhat naughty name that didn't get genericed yet and they enter a zone and some random npc says, Hey did you hear [insert naughty name here] defeat [some random boss]. It always makes me chuckle.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
Quote:
Variant: Some players create names with precisely this in mind. One classic that comes up frequently is, "Hey, did you hear a fluffy kitten beat up [BOSS_NAME]?"
