I Couldn't Help But Laugh

So I figured I'd try to start a positive thread about some of those more light-hearted FFXIV moments.

What are some of the moments in FFXIV that you've experienced that you couldn't help but laugh out loud?

For me, one such moment happened last night. I was in a Skype call with some FC members and one of my friends tells us in the call, "hey guys, quick, meet me at Camp Overlook". So we port there and he tells us "Ok, stand outside and watch the stairs!" So we stand just outside the gate and watch the stairs as told. All of a sudden, the song "Where the Hood At" by DMX starts playing over the Skype Call, and our friend comes gliding up the stairs in his new Bomb Palanquin. Well all of us just cracked up! It was so unexpected and easily one of the funniest things that's happened in-game for me in a while.

So what about the rest of you? What's happened lately in the game that you just couldn't help but laugh at?

Note: I'm REALLY trying to keep this a positive thread, so please keep any "I laughed at the ATMA drop rate"-type comments to yourself please! Let's keep it light-hearted!

I had a really fun run in castrum once
Everyone was like "okay guys let's make this the fastest run ever" and everyone was basically just messing about, dps aggroing whatever they could, and no one even used the cannons and then suddenly someone realized "shit what do we do now we're gonna wipe" and a really funny guy playing a blm, instantly uses LB on all of them and then he's like "quick next group we must beat the world record" and the atmosphere in the group was really fun.
I don't know if we had any new players in out group but if we did I'm sure he enjoyed his first level 50 dungeon

I actually met the person I play the most with in haukke manor doing a duty roulette, and he showed me something that made me laugh so hard.

Here's mine! (nice topic btw)

I just tracked down a treasure location and as I stood verifying the location, a Lalafell targeted me and said "Gimme 5 gil or I'll stick ya!". The image of him bouncing mad around me was hysterical and mad my entire day better so I hit him with a trade of 50,000 gil and a request. My request was for him to find 7 other Lalafells and run a "hit" on our FC. Show up and cause what ever chaos they like! To which I woukd pay them plenty... Three days later, our FC chat went off... "WTH.?! EVERYBODY GET TO THE HOUSE IMMEDIATELY! OUR HOUSE IS FULL OF LALAFELLS!!!"

Well, needless to say it was worth the expense. Seeing so many little people running a muck and causing so much confusion in our FC house. Priceless!

And I forgot to mention, when I first met him and did the trade... I resumed my treasure map dig not realizing I was still set as my Miner! So that Lalafell stood their clapping me on as I proceeded to fight, AND win the chest as a freaking miner, lol. He must have thought I was a crazy person...

Last night I was continuing on with my story. *SPOILER* I just completed the Siren boss, FFVIII FTW!** Anyways, after that boss my health was pretty low, so of course some undead start insta-attacking me. when out of no where some random comes running my way and he has got a massive amount of mandragora chasing him AND undead AND a few Mantis. At first I was like, "WTF am I seeing?" (This was my first time seeing the mandragora) Then I realize the guy needs some help, so being the monk I am I start punching them in the face. Garlic/Onion/etc. so freaking cute, but my health is low and so is the random's. The undead, the mandragora, the Mantis, the low health. I was trying to summon my trusty chocobo but just did not have time. Then ANOTHER guy joins in, we are all running around just collecting a mob. I am pretty sure we are all doomed, damned by these adorable little plants. I am trying to focus on getting the proper rotation but I cannot stop laughing.

It takes us FOREVER to get a hold on the situation, but them BAM! We are in sync. We aren't even targeting enemies, but somehow we all know what one to attack and when. It is an unspoken agreement between the 3 of us that we are going to kill everything!

AND WE DO!

Man, it was just awesome. We bowed and went our separate ways. No one ever said a single word, and yet somehow it has been one of my favorite moments in this game.

Turn 7, just started, I get one of the first three voices (I'm on sch), so I turn away... oh look dps got hit off circle blade, better physick...
Mumble:
'Who just petrified everyone?'
'...might have forgot to turn off auto-face target. Whooops!'

I also got really confused and got mocked over mumble because I thought we had two drinking Apkullus in our fc house, it was just one of my friends moving the one we had around >.> in my defense it was like nearly 2am and I was tired! D:

Once I was in Coil Turn 1 - one of the party members didn’t understand what a sac pull was and tried to heal the Tank… everyone got involved and it ended in an utter mess with everyone wiping except me… I don’t like to die so I ran and ran and ran… I ran all the way back to ADS battle area where everyone had respawned and as I ran past … my FC friend said hey “Onion where you going??”… then they turned the corner and saw the army of mobs running towards her ...“Holy F#@%!!! Everyone RUNNNN!!! Onion what have you Done!!!”

It ended with the whole party being massacred by the mobs I had trained back to the start, thankfully everyone saw the funny side of it and had a good laugh. :)

Our lalafell only ls banned together to do coil t2. But we couldn't find another dps to go with us. So we duty find the other dps and lo and behold we get a CAT for our dps extra. So we're all running around making jokes, doing the maderville, being cute, just acting like lalafells. We all have a ball and soon find out that the extra dps is on our world. She then changes to lalafell (master race) and is added to our ls. But after a week she changes back and is a CAT but is still in our ls as our slave.! Mwaahahahaa!

Hell, this made me lol and I wasn't even there. XD


When treasure hunting was added, some from my FC went together to do a peisteskin map. We didn't figure it'd be difficult or anything, just fun, so we went wearing silly things like snowman suits and using off classes. After taking a bunch of screenshots of the group, we open the chest and "@0@ OMG WHAT JUST HAPPENED??!" We wiped on the tree + zerg trees fight. XD

I would guess that pretty much anyone went "wut... DDD:" upon the first time seeing chimera appear when opening a treasure chest. XDDD

I was in Tam-Tara HM with two friends of mine I've just met, and a pretty fly miqo'te from duty finder. We were just taking it slow, reading all of the notes, and enjoying ourselves.

At one point, to tease my tank friend, I said,
"And now is the part...WHERE I LET YOU DIE!"
I was joking, of course. But while I was busy /laugh ing evilly, he actually DID die! I couldn't believe it! I apologized profusely for not healing him and attempted to explain what just happened, but he wasn't buying it. I felt so bad!

o_o What made the situation all the more amusing was the fact that I suddenly understood how Edda felt. I was basically Edda. o_o

...Later he revealed to me that he had intentionally used the wrong move on the mobs to get himself killed, just to teach me a lesson. I was like, "You set me up!". Ha ha ha.

Fun times.

EDIT: (Great topic starter, by the way, OP!)

After doing Tam-Tara HM with some friends, we realize the final boss has a "party killer" skill called "red wedding"....all of us being big GRRM nerds started laughting like mad for the skill and the fact that it wiped us....that skill alone took Tam-Tara HM to a different level of awesomeness on my scale.

That is absolutely AMAZING!!!

Was doing a bunch of pieste maps with some friends. We head out to Cutter's Cry in Than. There's a little hidden sort of cave there which is the maps location. When we arrived there's a Miq Alchemist crafting in the cave, she immediately pipes up "Oh no! My secret plan has been compromised!"
So we're all standing around waiting for her to finish her craft, she stands up and is like "umm, so what's up with you guys?" Map is opened and Chimera pops out "Oh sh**! That's what!"
She runs out of the cave but hangs around doing cheer emotes, afterwards thanked us for waiting for her to finish her craft.

OMG!

This one awesome time, I was in western La Noscea having such an awesome time killing these awesome fat bird mobs that looked really awesome, and I noticed they were awesomely named dodo's just like that awesome real life extinct animal, and I thought it was just so awesomely funny that the devs decided to name them dodos!!!!!!!#&$*$?$&&#*$/!!!**$ #AWESOMEDODOS.......

I laughed pretty bad at the last tank I had in Lost city of Amdapor......never seen something like that in my life lol. He flashed the tainted molds in an attempt to aggro them????? And the second boss was priceless...how he was obviously top in aggro, but the boss was hitting other players (because the boss mechanics revolve around the adds and the stacks they give to players when they die). He kept saying "WTFFFFF", and the BRD running in circles while the boss was hitting him....it was just too fun to tell him how that fight worked, so I didn't explain him the mechanics and kept laughing :).

Had a run of Toto-Rak with a DF group. It was a lively bunch—we were chatting like mad about nothing and everything. The tank was awesome, using marks and all even though the dungeon isn't tough. We kept coming up with things a tank Adventurer would say to pick up ladies in Eorzea based on his performance, like "Hey baby, I mark mobs in dungeons" or "I use my cooldowns effectively and often." We decided to do an IRL naked dungeon run, meaning we would be playing the game without clothes. I have no way of knowing if we all followed through (the tank gave us 867-5309 as his number to send pics), but I like to think there were four people scattered around the country running Toto-Rak entirely naked. xD

Funny stories:

Back in my old FC, one of our party members needed to run BrayHM for sols. No one's que'd as we're all in off-position classes (Miner, etc.), so they state they need a tank but I told them I'd be DPSing, as I'd been tanking T4 for several hours before joining. So the leader says he'll tank, and we're fine with that. We que and enter, only to find out the party leader never switched from Dragoon. So we went in DRG, MKN (me), BLM and SCH. We were like, "uh…… derp?"

So we decide to just man up and run it as is. True test of a good SCH I'd say. We ended up clearing the whole dungeon in 11:42. Thereby, evidence that Bray doesn't need to be tanked.

------

Every time I have to run Cutter's is usually a pain (because it's rather boring, I get easily tired in cavern-like areas, thanks PSO). So to cheer myself up, I made this macro for use whenever we get to the ant queen boss.

/p "I'm stronger than an ant… if an ant were…
/point <t>
/p <se.1>
/p "THIS big!"

---------

Solo'ing the Coeurl FATE in Upper La Noscea… good times. Even took pictures of me (Archer at the time) jumping off the top of the stairway while shooting off arrows at the big cat.

--------

Out in more donuts, someone shouted "hey fate party for forgforns"

In my FC chat I exploded with:

"EHRMAHGERD FERT PERTY EN FERGFERNZ!"

We all got a laugh out of that.

--------

And my favourite of all:

Once in FC chat, we were discussing the meaning of life, when one of our members (a lala) chimes in with: "The meaning of life is kewkies!"

Lulz were had. But ever since then, every time I see this FC member, I give her an Acorn Cookie or a Ginger Cookie. She has since changed to Elezaen (welcome to the family). But I still give her kewkies. :3

Sounds similar to the macro I have for Halatali HM when we have to fight the bears:
/p "I hope you're BEARy pre-BEARed for this unBEARable BEAR of a battle!"

Thanks, Persona 4 Comic Dub. =P

That's all I can think about every time I see them.

My coils group is always full of laughs. Our main tank is good at tanking, but frequently would forget when cursed voice was on him, wiping us, to the point that cursed voice is called over voice chat EVERY time it is on him. It is funny to hear it called out every time, weeks after we have mastered T7.

Another funny thing is that, being a dragoon, I must correct them when they tell me what I need to do in a strategy. "Ok, so the dragoon needs to take out this add, then run over and get" "NO no no, Dragoons don't run, we LEAP". I also make a few envy dragoon with my narcistic flashy moves.

And then there is the fact we have a Monk who HATES the Dragoon class. We banter all the time as melee DPS. Similar lines to: "Jump off a cliff!" "Take a walk!"

Edited because I think post might be inappropriate. Sorry about that.

sounds like some of the folks in my FC! :D

I was on Titan HM back when the EX wasn't release. We got to the part before heart phase were titan do the circle bombs and on in the middle. A guy in the party say to my "Myrhn what are you doing? Did you just stand there and try to kill the bomb?" and we were all laughing so bad.

This week-end in Frontlines. I was in team B and usually, this team is supposed to take care of nodes in the middle. But I got caught in a fight near the stairs and couldn't be there on time, the party chat went crazy with "WHERE ARE YOU ALL ?! HELP HELP !!!" until Bard Nr2 of the party said "Chill out, I got this, WHM follow me".
I defeated my opponent and made my way up until Bard Nr2 wrote "THIS. IS. GRIDANIAAAAA"

... I saw 4 members of the Maelstrom falling off the cliff to their death while I was going up.

Someone on my server got out of a dungeon and loaded back into Coerthas just in time to get killed by Steropes.

Was doing my Sahagin Beastmen Dailies when someone shouted "Dark Helmet is up at XX, XX" and then the IMMEDIATE reply shout was "All rise in the presence of Dark Helmet!" with many more replies (all from different people) shouting things like "We appear to jammed!" and "Ludicrous Speed....GO!".

Thus I rest my case that Adamantoise is the best server there is. :)

LMAO!! I died reading this!

Right after the fat chocobo became available. logging in to find Revenant's Toll overrun with fat, happy, Buddha birds, Buddha birds EVERYWHERE. My natural reaction to this was to laugh.

Me and my usual party were running a low lvl dungeon for someone's book. We were just goofing around the entire time over sykpe. We got to a boss and our whm just runs up and starts using their mp as fast as they can. He then yells at me to use "ballad salad" (cause I'm the bard) but I can't use it. So I just go "I CANT PLAY YOU THE SONG OF MY PEOPLE. IM SORRY". Everyone over skype just died laughing.

My static is a really goofy group though so we do stuff like that all the time. We did syrcus tower and at the last boss our monk keeps shoulder tackling the boss before the main tank hits it. Our tank in alliance chat goes "Im sorry about my party. They will be punished when we get home. Bad (monk's name) BAD!" The entire party then chimes in about hoping it's whips and how our tank could punish us whenever she wanted, basically turning it into a BDSM conversation over alliance chat.
