Thanks, bye!

Early in our playing history we had a player/character who just seemed to be the most hapless creation and player in history. Still legendary in our group.

Well this character could not make a single roll for the whole first session. Everything failed, everything. Well another character/player took this as an opportunity to make fun of and pick on the character. near the end of the session the hapless character finally had enough and took a shot at the offending character. He whipped out his longbow and fired off a shot. Rolled a natural 20. Plus rolled max damage. Killed the offending character with one shot at range.

The whole session was so funny we were hooked from then on.

 Lol TheGnome5786, that's absolutely hilarious! Sooo funny how much bad luck you can get then suddenly you can kill off your enemies with a single shot!!

So while our party is in Avernus, we’re fighting some Redcaps at the helm of an absolutely huge Infernal war machine.

One of the Redcaps charms my Cleric, forcing them to attack their ally. So my Cleric casts “Inflict Wounds” on the Monk.

Rolls a critical hit.

Squelch.

No more Monk.

Then…!

…our Oathbreaker Paladin uses “Animate Dead” to make the Monk’s dead body their new thrall.

So, technically that Monk never really left our party…even when that player made a new character.

There was another time where our Wizard and our Cleric burned up all their spell slots; simply to annoy each other…while we were inside Acererak’s “Tomb of Annihilation”.

”Counterspell!”

”Dispel Magic!”

”WALL OF FORCE!”

”DISINTEGRATE!”

”YOU SONOVA…!”

…eventually they devolved to fist-fighting & wrestling. Our table was in an uproar of laughter.

 Lol these are super funny stories! I'm still laughing!

My friends character in my campaign was escorting a prisoner (This prisoner was basically a half giant ). Well the prisoner turned out to be a mass killer. Well the player made a deal with this prisoner where the prisoner would stay there and the player would try to help him get better food in the prisoner , And the player wanted to go get back up. Well the giant escaped and got to the armory and stole armor and weapons and basically made a gang with the other prisoners and they made this prison into a fortress , so the next 2 sessions became a war against the prisoners and this half giant . ( They won but lost 2 of the players including the person who released the prisoner.).

A story of my own . I basically created a samurai class and made a lizardfolk samurai that was part of a clan that was led by a shogun. Well my lizard folk trapped a orc and half orc in a pit trap and I basically brought my clan there who all began taking them and my dm said they freeded the orc and half orc . Plot twist my clan became peaceful with a new leader while I had be gone. Well I died to a orc and half orc.

Doing Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, and the monk and druid are hooked on selling water after doing one of the side-quests for the Emerald Enclave. 

They spent half an hour trying to bluff their way into a house by selling this water they got at the farm. 

They spent a further 1/2 hour trying to get into a guardhouse to speak to someone the DM was rail roading the big as he wanted them to rejoin the party. 

Was a fun night 

Very early on in my first campaign, the group was trying to escape down a very long spiral staircase as it was dissolving behind us. Our wizard, Enzy, was super slow - but he had a necklace that gave him a 5 ft fly speed (basically just enough for him to hover). So we tied a rope around my monk with stupid high speed, had him hover and grab the other end, and my monk took off. It's been years now but we still talk about the 'Enzy kite' because it was the first time we really had the whole table in fits of laughter like that.

Early in my one of my first campaigns, me and another character (I was playing an Orc Shaman (College of spirits bard) and my friend was playing a half-elf battle smith artificer) tag-teamed the first major baddy, the leader of a corrupt group of knights. We ended up on top of their tower, and he came up after us. I cast heat metal (How could I not? He was in full plate after all), and the artificer hit him with grease, sending him back down the stairs. He climbed back up, got a second dose of heat metal as I started insulting him (Dissonant Whispers), and the artificer hit him with Tasha's Caustic Brew, making the knight fall back down the stairs again. This sort of thing continued for a good 3 or 4 rounds before he finally died after getting his skull bashed by my orc's staff and taking a crossbow bolt from the artificer.

The entire party just kept laughing while this went on. It's become a sort of continual joke among my group.

A half-eaten mackerel falling into my friend's lap causing her to shriek and jump out of her chair.

For context - we were playing D&D while having a picnic on the beach. We think the fish was dropped by a seagull flying overhead.

Kuo-toa surprise attack!

The party were doing a stakeout outside a villain's base in a large city, having sat down at a restaurant and having dinner while keeping an eye on the base.

The the villain opened the door and seemed to be headed off.

And the paladin immediately got up and jumped through the (glass) window, initiating combat.

Just yesterday: I cast grease. Six enemies were in the area, as was an ally. Only two enemies failed the save, and my friend did, but it didn't really affect them. Then, a couple rounds later, I fell of a roof into the grease after rolling a nat 1 on my crossbow.

So my character can walk on ice, and I have the shape water cantrip, so my DM lets me move water up walls, freeze it, and walk on it. 

Anyways, there were some spies/gang members on the roof of a three-story building. The rest of the party was already on the roof, so I started walking up the side of the building via ice walking. When I got to the top, my friend, who is a monk, was surprised and thought I was a vampire (because of the wall-walking), so he punched me as hard as he could and I went flying off the edge. 

My characters were at a Harvest Festival trying to distract the carny at the gates so they could sneak past them.  They were loaded with extra gold so they came up with a plan to ask a lady carny to seduce the carny at the gates, not knowing that the lady carny was the sister of their mark.  I had to roleplay someone being asked to perform depraved acts on their brother.  When I revealed to the propositioning character the relation, he smugly made a joke about my "probably having done it before."  The lady punched the offending character in the face and scored a nat 20.  Unbeknownst to her, he was a wererat and the damage he took elicited a saving throw.  He rolls a nat 1 and turns into a wererat.  It got worse from there.  I have rarely seen a plan go sideways so quickly in such a hilariously uncomfortable and horrifying fashion.  My players gave me a true gift that night.  It happened years ago but it still makes us laugh uproariously when it comes up.

My lawful good fighter told our Tiefling barbarian to bite the tentacle of a monster that grappled her it session 0 and she thought it was so funny that she applied biting to every fight throughout that campaign.

In the previous campaign her rl sister made sure castrate any male characters we defeated and take their “swords” as trophies. I’m happy my paladin’s dad didn’t fight our party. Yikes!

My friend had hurtled through basically an apartment window, and the tiefling inside was not happy. But my friend's character yelled out, "wait! I'm from the future!" before the tiefling attacked. The tiefling was sceptical, but my friend then said, "I'm here to warn you! someone bad is coming to your room!" The DM told him to just roll a d20, and if he rolled 20, the tiefling would believe him. Nat 20. The tiefling goes to see who is coming to his door, and it happens to be his mother-in-law. He thanked my friend many times, and is ecstatic that he is 'from the future'. So, in the end, my friend got away without any trouble at all. 

A puzzle door with levers was separating two groups of our party. The cleric decides to use sending, but in order to preserve the tension of the scene, our GM asks her to write on a card. My bard, who has recently recovered from the indefinite madness that reads, "I can't take anything seriously. The more serious the situation, the funnier I find it," gets the message. The cleric-player passes me the card, but on the back she has written her lunch order, and she flips the card before passing it to me. In a fit of pique, my bard begins to read out, "One panini..."

In Thundertree (Lost mines of Phlandelver) just after enering Reidoth's hut:

Reidoth: Greetings, How can I help you?

Fighter: you wouldn't happen to have some pie would you?

Reidoth: walks over to a cabinet, takes out a fresh pie and wallks over to thre fighter smashing it in his face
"there, now that the formalities are over..."
