Anyone knows of any other?

There's two Roes in the Gold Saucer carrying crates. One asks the other if he thinks there's more to life than crate carrying, and he replies that's dangerous thinking or something.

I'll definitely have to look for those two in the Gold Saucer! Thanks for the input. :)

That's all I've got in the Gold Saucer from the two roegadyns that actually are capable of carrying crates! :p

These guys walk back and forth between X:7.9, Y: 6.1 (upper floor) and X: 6.3, Y:5.0 (stairs) in the Event Square.

It may not count as much as it's the comedic sidestory, but the note that the WoL is apparently a massage therapy savant if the Hildibrand quests are to be believed cracks me up.

I am way behind in the Hildibrand questline, having barely done The Dragon's Neck, so alas, I cannot comment there. :p

I never noticed this one before XD

There's a lot of odd little things said in those bubbles all over the place.

My favourite is the laughing lala's in thaumaturges guild tho.

I found one that I never noticed before!

Meanwhile, the female roegadyn nearby is doing pretty well for herself.

There is Smeagle in the Sahagin beast tribe area. Will post a picture later(if I remember).

It may not be a crate, but I believe some where in Ishgard, there is a poor soul having the same problem with a large rock xD

OMG! I never noticed those before! I have to find them and take selfies now.

These made me laugh before and now again OP. ;)

Wonder how many people took screenshots with them standing on the crates? :) .. I got a few with me standing on them but I'll have to look 'em up. And well it's not for this thread I guess lol.

There used to be one in Idyllshire doing a very obvious motion to a stone, trying to lift it up. I think he got lost with a patch that cleaned up the place though.

You should post them! That sounds hilarious. I never considered standing on them before. Wish I had thought of that in the first place. On a sidenote, the one with the rock that I just took above, I can't stand on it. My character just clips through. :(

I wouldn't really call this a running gag.

It just looks like asset reuse to me. '3';;

How do you stop a Roegadyn on the warpath?

Drop a crate in front of him

Holding Katana High
Banzaii!!!!

::THUNK!::

Ooh! It's a crate!
Oh, I wonder what's in it, but if I have to ask, I don't need to know.
But, my that crate looks like it needs a good carry.
OK, bend the knees, keep the back straight!
Oof! It's a heavy one, but..oh, wait, better just let it settle down again, oh me back!
Now then crate, it's you and me, and you're getting a good carrying.
Oof! How much...do...you...weigh!?
Ungh! Erk! Ah! Finally, got you, now, where do we go from here....

Don't knock it until you try it? xD

This made my morning. Thank you. XD

I don't think that is a running gag, but reused assets since they have already animated that man in that pose.

Perhaps I secretly like stalking big muscular men that can't lift a crate so I can feel better about myself? I don't know. :p

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm pretty sure '3';; is supposed to be whistling nervously. the apostrophes are the eyes and the three is pursed lips. The semi colons are sweat droplets. No clue about >///>

Shameful blushing.

Also, reusing assets doesn't mean it's not a running gag, because that's kinda what a running gag IS supposed to be, a joke that in one form or another keeps showing up.

I guess those Roe muscles really are just for show though!

My personal favorite running gag is everything with Aenor.

How about those people hanging precariously off platforms and about to drop off? No one ever helps them and they hang there...forever...

Her last name, according to the lore book, makes the running joke here even better.

Aenor Cockburne.
