Self explanatory but what is your funniest moment in the whole BG series? whether it's something you did, saw, heard, or something that remided you of something in real life.

For me it was when I first got into D&Ding (or rpg games in general for that matter) and I started fooling around with the Console droping Cow kills on enemies :D .

Another moment for me was when I was trying to kill Silke in Beregost, I got so frustrated i decided to cheat by consoling about 50 killer chickens to kill her, and that's when I discovered the "Drizzt Defends" command (although sometime after)

"Bondari Reloads".

(Edit) The whole Bondari scene really.

Bondari reloads is great.

Edwin becoming Edwina was another good one for me. "Her" lines, I thought, were far funnier than Edwin's.

"You're untouched by the civilization, he'll cast magic missile and I will backstab!"

Lillarcor, Cespenairs' comments.

"Minsc, I'm curious. That tatoo on your face. Does it have some tribal significnce or did some nursery school asault you with blue pastels?"
"I don't likie the tone of your voice, dark elf. The face I have is the face ladies like! Boo likes Minsc's face too, don't you Boo? Don't you?"

und viele mehr!

This is the BG2 TOB forum right? :confused:

It is also the forum where general topics covering the whole BG series from the beginning till the end should be posted. This topic is exactly where it should be.

When Minsc meets the Pirate Lord :)

Jan's interactions with the party.

Tiax from when you meet him and in Spellhold.

Bondari.

'In two days Tim will be able to tell me about my dagger!'

'I say farewell in a manner suitably unfettered by civilisation.'

Seeing Thalantyr casting the amazing 'Antichickenator' was pretty funny too.

Or the hobgoblins in Firkraag's dungeon. 'We won't kill old ladies for a job anymore! Only for fun. That's OK I think.'

(Breaths a sigh of relief that Tal approves ;) )

I thought pcs lines to the Pirate lord in Brynlaw were hillarious. And for anyone that's played the Imoen romance, when Imoen steals the Bracelet from the merchant.

The Korgan/Aerie conversation were fun.

Definitely the Bondari sequence. That was histarical.

The first time I killed Firkraag with a Quivering Palm, I just sat here laughing about the absurdity of it.

Deinfitely Bondari reloading. I was laughing so hard I had to pause the game for a few minutes.

Lillarcor...though I'll admit I didn't read the write up so it took me the better part of an hour to figure out where that voice was coming from.

And Cespenar 's Martha comment was another great one...

I definitely agree that the whole Bondari thing is the funniest thing in the whole series.

However, the time I laughed the most was a completely random coincidence:

The party enters the tavern in Trademeet for the first time. Viekang sees the PC, screams like hell and "explodes". Immediately after, Imoen says: "Now I remember why traveling with you was always so much fun!"

What a heartless b...!

Totally random, but it had me rolling on the floor!

Any other "unintentionally funny" moments?

The Bondari sequence is pretty funny, though it would have been nice if the designers had decided to write a plot for ToB rather than a buch of silly episodes such as Bondari and the were-chinhilla. :)

I thought it was here on the SP boards, but I remember someone telling the tale about how the party was getting slaughtered, and his PC died. However, right before the 'dying/game over' movie (get a mental picture of this movie, first) Imoen started saying her 'injured' line so that this played over the movie:

"Someone give me a hand over here, please."

CamDawg, I was just about to post that, actually. Yeah, it was here on the SP boards that that was discussed. In fact, there was a funniest moments thread here about a year ago.

That Bondari thing was hilarious. It was also pretty funny whenever Nalia says that "How are we helping people by trudging around in here?" whenever I was helping her do her quest.

Almost all of Minsc's quotes.

There's the conversation Imoen has with Keldorn in ToB...where she says that she is attracted to him, but actually steals his ring...very funny.

Almost all of Jan's conversations...especially the ones with Anomen and Minsc and Boo!!

Minsc vs Pirate Lord...HILARIOUS!!

Chromatic Orb got the Black Dragon in Suldenesselar after a Lower Resistance...I thought that HAD to be a bug, but it was pretty funny.

A jester of mine sang an entire roomful of baddies into killing themselves...man, that was FUNNY!!

In general I go for humor that's not silly or dumb like Minsc so that's out (well three hip-hip-hoorays for me then :rolleyes: ) I enjoyed the witty and constructive humor like the Keldorn/Imoen and Mazzy/Jan Dialogs, and the one about Ano the half orc was hillarious.

I thought it was here, glad to know the brain isn't going soft yet... didn't want to take credit for someone else's joke after all. :)

Some of the spontaneous player lines can be unintentionally funny. Nalia's dungeon line is one (especially if it occurs when clearing out her own keep) and I got a snicker the other day when Minsc started yelling his "hamsters and rangers everywhere, rejoice" line while we were disguised as drow in the Underdark. Subtle and Minsc just don't mix.

Just so ya'll know, these were taken from the NPC Interactions Guide in the Tips & Tricks section on SP...these would definitely count as some of the funniest moments in BG...

-------------------------------
Imoen: So. You’re part of the Order of the Most Radiant Heart, right, Anomen? The paladins and Clerics that run around Amn getting outraged at everthing?

(If Anomen passed his test)
Anomen: I find your description bordering on insult, girl ... but, yes, I am a member of the Order. Why?
Imoen: Well, a full hundred of them marched up all solemn-like up to Candlekeep about ten years ago, all to donate a single book to the monks. Do you know anything about that?
Anomen: No, but it sounds like something the Order might do, depending on the book.
Imoen: It was a big book, as I recall. I stole into the archive to look at it ... did you know it had all sorts of pictures of naked men and women? Total filth! I’m surprised the Order even had something like that.
Anomen: No doubt it was a book of great evil. Perhaps the Order gave it over to the care of your monks so that it would not be used by those of impure intentions.
Imoen: Well, I don’t know about that. Winthrop caught me peeking and gave me hell like you wouldn’t believe ... but I noticed he kept the book in his room after that point.
Anomen: Vile girl! I’ll not listen to any more of this! Go bother (CHARNAME)!

(If Anomen failed his test)
Anomen: Ha! An apt description of those blowhards, if ever I had heard one. No, dear girl ... I am no member of the Order, although I was a novice. Why do you ask?
Imoen: Well, a full hundred of them marched up all solemn-like up to Candlekeep about ten years ago, all to donate a single book to the monks. Do you know anything about that?
Anomen: No, but it sounds like something the Order might do, depending on the book.
Imoen: It was a big book, as I recall. I stole into the archive to look at it ... did you know it had all sorts of pictures of naked men and women? Total filth! I’m surprised the Order even had something like that.
Anomen: You don’t say? Well maybe the Prelate was finished with it and gave it to the head of your monks as something of a present? Those paladins are quite the repressed lot of stuffed shirts, you know.
Imoen: Oh, they’re not so bad, I guess. Better them than some of the evil I’ve seen ... they can just be kinda pompous, as I remember. You’re not as bad as I figured you might be, though, Anomen.
Anomen: Well, I’m glad you think so. I escaped from their clutches just in time, I suppose, eh?

----------------------------

Keldorn: Imoen! What ... are you pawing at me yet again? Do you think I do not notice. You are trying to pickpocket me, aren’t you!?
Imoen: Well, no ... I just ...
Keldorn: Just what? Out with it girl. I won’t have a party member stealing from me.
Imoen: No, no, that’s not it! I ... I was just ... I was just trying to find out if you’re as muscular under your armor as you look.
Keldorn: Eh? What’s this?

Imoen: Oh, I know that you’re married and all that, Keldorn ... but do you have *any* idea how good you look? I ... I can’t help myself, I just want to touch you all the time!
Keldorn: Imoen! I ... I have a daughter the same age as you!
Imoen: I don’t know what it is, Keldorn ... maybe it’s the Bhaal essence in me. I just want to run my fingers through your hair and nibble on your ears! Oh, Keldorn, you drive me so wild!
Keldorn: By Torm, no! This is terrible! I ... I had no idea I had this effect on you ...
Imoen: Oh, get over yourself, Keldorn! Sheesh. (giggle!) Here’s your ring back. I won’t take it again, I promise.

----------------------------

Korgan: Hhmp. Imoen, yer an o’er-lame excuse fer a member o’ this party and I be tired of exertin’ meself to protect ye! Next time I let ye perish, screamin’ like a ninny as ye does!
Imoen: The last time I saw you exert yourself over anything was the last slab of pork in an inn. If you could keep up with me with that beer gut of yours I’d be amazed.
Korgan: Beer gut?! Why, ye stinkin’ wench, how dare ye! Keep up with me axe as if flies toward yer head, more like! Though it’d be like splittin’ a hair, skinny as ye are!
Imoen: I’d be started if a drunk dwarven oaf like yourself could hit the broad side of barn with your axe. And while we’re talking about stench, let’s talk about the last time you passed out in your own vomit.
Korgan: An outrage! Yer be a canker on me backside and the world best be rid of ye! Loathsome mongrel she-dog!
Imoen: Brutish pig! You’re nothing but a boil needing lancing!
Korgan: I’ve seen harlots wi’ less open sores than ye, ye pimple-faced, whining gutter-snipe!
Imoen: You cantankerous, foul-mouthed excused for a gully dwarf!
Korgan: Gully dwarf? Har har! Ye know how to hit low, ye does! Har har! Yer a fine, fine lass, ye are, Imoen. That Gorion of yers would be proud!
Imoen: Aw, gee. Thanks, Korgan!

---------------------

Imoen: So, Valygar ... word on the street is that ya killed your parents. Is that true? Sounds pretty horrid, if ya ask me.
Valygar: You consider *this* acceptable casual conversation? Just walk up and ask someone if they killed their parents?
Imoen: Would you prefer to let the rumor mill have its way?
Valygar: I could care less what people have to say about me. People have talked about my family all my life.
Imoen: Well, that’s a pretty sour attitude. You know, they say your face freezes like that.
Valygar: For someone who supposedly has her soul tainted by the evil of a dead god, you remind me considerably of a chipmunk with a sugar high and a death wish.
Imoen: Oooh! Funny! That’s good!

---------------------

Minsc: Ooo, squirrels Boo! I know I saw them! Quick, throw nuts!
Jaheira: Minsc, could you please maintain a little grace while in nature’s presence? Sometimes I simply do not know how you came by your title of ranger.
Minsc: Do you wish me dour and sour like most others? No, I say not. The animals run and play without care, and I would too ... if such a thing would not squish Boo flat.
Jaheira: But your duties are serious things, Minsc. Do you realize that?
Minsc: I am very serious! Boo would not let me shirk my duties! I would not want to shirk anything! No shirking, no sir!
Jaheira: Admirable, Minsc, but you use that word like you don’t know what it means.
Minsc: Eh, well ... no ... but it sounds sharp and painful and I always reserve such things for freaks that might steal those squirrels’ nuts!
Jaheira: Good job, Minsc. You keep it up.

---------------------------

Aerie: You seem to be limping, Jan. Have you been hurt recently?
Jan: No, lass, I’m not hurt and the limp is not new. I’ve had it as long as you’ve known me. ‘Tis a wooden leg you see. I was smuggling crackers into Waterdeep several years back (The Council had outlawed them due to near constant cracker-related debauchery, you see... I couldn’t let THAT pass. The Council had sealed off all ports and mobilized the army to stop all cracker entry. The city was shut down, martial law was declared and people huddled in their homes for fear and want of crackers. I could not stand idly by while such persecution was visited on the somewhat innocent peoples of Waterdeep. So I smuggled crackers. Salted, unsalted, and herb-riddled alike, it mattered not. All came in and all were consumed in secret orgies of cracker-related tomfoolery. Then came the unpleasant business with the hanging. I hadn’t seen Picklefeather’s eyes bulge like that since that Wyvern kicked him in the ba... (Oops! Innocent elvish lass, have to watch the tongue) uh... in the arm. (Yes, that will do.) The moral of the story is, you reap what you sow. I still own a warehouse full of saltines. I send a box each year to all my friends. Seem to have fewer friends each year as a result, but that’s to be expected.
Aerie: What does that have to do with your wooden leg?
Jan: What wooden leg? I have no wooden leg?
Aerie: Grrrr! You’re IMPOSSIBLE!
Jan: Why yes, I suppose I am, at that. (grin)

--------------------------------

Jan: Anomen, my friend, I realize that I’ve been less than polite with you in the past and I wish to apologize.
Anomen: Verily, you have played me most false.
Jan: Indeed! All know that you’re an unrepetant ass. ‘Tis not my place to bring it up.
Anomen: Shut up, gnome.
Jan: Your ugliness, both in body and soul, although true, is inappropriate for discussion and rankly impolite. You’re stupid, poorly educated, and always smell faintly of lilacs, but it was wrong of me to bring attention to it.
Anomen: Silence before I CRACK YOUR SKULL!
Jan: Arrogant, drunken, whiny, pompous are common adjectives used to describe you, but I was wrong to say so. You are completely incapable of independent thought and soil yourself with regularity seldom found outside of a nursery. I shall no longer bring these things up in front of others. Well I’m glad that, despite your idiocy, you managed to grasp the concept of my apology and mumble some poorly-worded forgiveness. Cheers!

-------------------

Funny eh? Lemme know if you want some more... but I would recommend just going and reading the whole file for yourself...its a boon for all those chaps who like to solo all the time, like me... :)

"I turned to shield Boo and have lost my spell. I am NOT sorry."

This had me rolling with laughter for a while and it still brings a smile to my face. Also, Minsc's entering Hell monologue is pretty funny.

"I feel your stares! DIE! DIE!"

Best Edwina line ever.
Last one comes from a wierd mod interaction. I had both Imoen's and Nalia's romance installed and was romancing Nalia. Well right before your marriage there is a forced rest. So I go to sleep the night before my wedding and I get Imoen's 2nd dream. That was just too strange to be anything but hilarious.

Jan: So, Viconia, I suppose you must be a drow, eh?
Viconia: Speak not to your betters, surface slave.
Jan: My brother, Elgar Buttercup, had skin the shade of charcoal, too. Well, technically it WAS charcoal. He died in a nasty fire, you see.
Viconia: You do love the sound of your own voice, don’t you gnome?
Jan: My own voice? Heartless wench! Do you not know? I am deaf! I have never heard the sound of my own voice. I read lips ... (sob) ... only lips.
Viconia: Deaf? Truly? In the Underdark the deaf are killed or used in pain threshold experiments.
Jan: I heard that! In fact, it reminds me of the time I was eaten by an avatar of Lolth. I was stuck inside her stomach with a miserable drow called Biffle Chump for days. Of course, I was forced to eat him. A matter of survival, you understand. Nothing personal. He tasted a bit like chicken.
Viconia: (CHARNAME), how is it that you travel with such a wee buffoon?
(CHARNAME): Truthfully, it all goes back to the time that Jan’s cousin, Plooty paladin-piper, got caught in a nasty flesh golem eating contest ...
Jan: Aye, Plooty had a way of attracting golems. Brilliant, really. You start with a saucer of milk - golems are suckers for milk ...
Viconia: I refuse to listen to this.

Mazzy: Jan, I find you to be quite the enigma. This adventure has yielded us a crop of useful magical items and yet you turn your considerable powers to the never-ending quest to create the perfect turnip peeler. How can someone who’s so clever be so shortsighted?
Jan: Well, Mazzy you’re really asking two questions there. My shortsightedness was passed on to me by my dear departed father. I was born with the condition and I’ll thank you not to stare! As to your other question, it takes me back to my days as a carefree deckhand on a turnip merchant galleon. We sailed for Waterdeep, we did, braving foul seas, foul tempers and a band of foul turnip pirates.
Mazzy: You are mentally incapable of answering a straight question, aren’t you gnome?
Jan: ‘Twas on a cold winter’s night near the beginning of the Great Underwear Shortage when we set sail. I danced naked on the poop deck, which was the custom at the time. Well, my nose and other extremities were getting frosty so I gathered up the tatters of my poor, abused, underwear and headed to the crow’s nest.
Mazzy: Shutup, shutup, shutup, shutup!!!
Jan: Well, I never! You did ask, after all.
Mazzy: SHUTUP!!!!


Jan: Mazzy, dear ... have I ever told you about my dear Aunt Petunia the ranger?
Mazzy: Yes, Jan. I have already heard that tale, thank you.
Jan: Really? Are you quite sure? This is the one where she ...
Mazzy: Yes, that’s the one. One of your best, but I have heard it before.
Jan: Well then, let me regale you with tales of my years as a ...
Mazzy: I have heard that one as well, Jan.
Jan: But I didn’t even say anything! Ah, here’s one I KNOW you haven’t heard. Back when I was ...
Mazzy: I am sorry to disappoint you, Jan, but I have already heard that one, too.
Jan: A-HA! I made up that one just to test you, Mazzy! There is no such story.
Mazzy: You mean to say that you have been telling us falsehoods this whole time, Jan? I am so very, very disappointed in you. Since you admit to your dishonesty, I can no longer in good conscience listen to your stories ever again.
Jan: Huh ... that really didn’t go the way I expected.


:p

there are a lot of bg moments that are really funny so here are some i remember,

One responce when Edwin turns into Edwina "Something, something, something, by the way, nice rack!"

A lot of the grave stones in Nashkel are pretty funny.

When I met Noober for the first few times i was so pissed off, the only thing that kept me sane was the bonus 400 Xp :cool: , but when i met "Neeber" in Trademeet I was pissing my self and had a very nice nostalgic feeling :D

Some of you may not find this that funny but I like to pick up the charecters Xzar and Montaron just so i can take all their equipment make them pink, take 'em down to low hit points and leave them for dead in the middle of Beregost a few minutes later! :D

Seeing the fat chick in the spider lair in cloakwood for the first time was pretty funny too.

Does anyone know Aerie and Mazzy talk about how the gods might change it so halflings can be paladins in 3rd Ed D&D? I thought that was quite hilarious

Funny coninciding lines of the NPCs always amuse me, just now I can think of one from Icewind Dale (just to illustrate what I mean):

Character chosen: "I suppose I'm free to do your dirty work!"
Order given: "With pleasure!"

There are many of these in Baldur's Gate, too.

Well, like Immy in bg1:
"Are you gonna tell me a story about trollops and plugtails? Please? PleaaaSSSSE?!"
Or Khalid:
"Click someone your own size!"
But I like the one from IWDII best...
"So I kicked him in the head till he was dead... Oh... I can't believe I just sad that!"

Whats all this stuff about Bondari? I've never came acoss anyone called Bondari. Who is he/she, what game are they in, and where can they be found?

Bondari is probably the best...ano the oft lobotomized orc was pretty funny too :) ..and bondari is the leader of a party of new adventurers in ToB that you can task them to do a quest too low for your standards.

Ahh its all coming back to me. The ones in Abizigal's lair near the crazy wizard. The petrified adventurers?

thynora: the petrified noob (Noob=L337 talk?) is Bondari, and also I take back everything I said about Minsc's personality, but I still think he is one of the least useful npcs.

Well, I see that most of you guys enjoyed the moment with Bondari... I have another opinion. First, the most amusing character was Cespenar. That imp knows how to make me laugh! But the most funniest moments for me were the ones with the Spectator Beholder (strange that it wasn't mentioned so far, or maybe I didn't see it mentioned). It seems to me that the Spectator has some psychological problems.
Well, here is the dialog between me and Spectator:
Spectator - "... Oh, that reminds me. I promised that mad little Sahuagin that I would make an efort to scare off intruders..."
Spectator - "So... boo!!!"
...
Hyperion - "Did the drow summon you to guard the chest or what's inside the chest?"
[now comes my favorite part]
Spectator - "Hmmmn. Well, he screamed "my chest", as I recall. A spear was being thrust through his own chest at the time, though, so he could have been referring to that."
Spectator - "I assume he was talking about *this* chest, though."

The better part is that the Spectator apears again in Throne of Bhaal. Alas, I don't remember where and what does he say (but I will soon, because I am replaying the game right now).

I agree with Abomination.
When you go and talk to the Pirate Lord and have Minsc taking over the conversation. Very seldom have I laughed that hard.

"Where is your peg -- all pirates have a peg!"


"Uhhh, why is he pointing a hamster at me?"


:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

ahh i cant believe i didnt think about that hyperion...i have to say the spectator and bondari are about tied, there are just too damn many funny moments in the BG series to remember them all....picking one above the others is extremely hard.

'What're you going to do now?'
'Swing by the hive. Check out the beholder chicks. You?'
'The same.'

Classic.
