The moment your character and you have the same body shame but your friend in and out of character stop that from happening:
“You’re seeing somebody?! Who?!” “No I’m not seeing anyone. I mean who wants to...no, I just use Sending to contact you and things like that!” “First of all you are a beautiful, astonishing, scaly Goddess of a creature! You stop that!” - Freely and Orkira

I don't even remember the majority of this conversation, but basically it went something like this:
Most of the party were camped just outside of a village, and after they got tired of playing truth or dare, the sorceress suggested playing spin the bottle. The 2,000+ year old baelnorn lich NPC that the party was travelling with assumed that spin the bottle was a game where people just spun a bottle to entertain themselves and thought that was very boring, so then the sorceress suggested 7 minutes in heaven. The lich didn't know what that game was either, and, to the horror of the rest of the party, was fascinated and shocked that the sorceress knew how to access the Celestial Realms, even if it was only for seven minutes. The sorceress explained to him that to play seven minutes in heaven, two people who like each other go into a closet, things happen, and after seven minutes they come out, and no Celestial Realms were involved. The lich asked her what the point of the game was supposed to be then, if all that the players do is stand in a closet for seven minutes? To which her reply was that the things that the players do in the closet is supposed to increase their feelings towards each other. The lich said that if standing in a closet for seven minutes is what the people of that era thought amounted to a decent date, then people nowadays have horrible taste in romance. At this point, the others intervened and ended up convincing him that seven minutes in heaven is actually forbidden magic.
From that point forward, whenever the sorceress mentioned something 18+, the party would tell the lich that that was also forbidden magic. Maybe you would have had to be there, but there's just something so hilarious about a mad reincarnated angel trying to explain seven minutes in heaven to an ancient legendary monster while their two friends are frantically trying to protect his innocence.

Our human archery fighter was beaten badly by a large fish (maybe a fresh-water shark or something) and drop unconscious in the water. So I rush in and try to pull him out of water.
DM: "You only pull out half of his body since the shark is still holding the body in its mouth and your action just separates it into two."
DM: "The archer is now dead"
I freeze for a moment and say "ok I will just leave the body to the shark then."
Then type out in chat as out-of-character "this game is officially rated for 18+ now"
Reminds me of a streamed campaign I recently stumbled upon where the first two kills as described by the players with the killing blow had another player stated, "This campaign's kinda gone from PG to R18." and, on the second time, "This campaign's definitely rated R18." (Given what happens later in the prepared campaign, R18 was certain to happen anyway.)
Such player-described kills and party revulsion in response have since become a staple in the group.

Party member: *hands an object to the NPC traveling with our party*
DM: "His arm immediately tries to eat it."
Me: "His arm has a mouth!?"
DM: "It does now."
When the DM makes a verbal screw-up and ends up turning it around to make the NPC somehow more interesting and more terrifying at the same time in a creative way.
From a stream where the players made fun of the DM imitating creaking bones sounding like a Transformer...
DM: "She turns into a truck."
Now, old people with creaking bones might change into a modern vehicle at random.
