Hah. If anything, the *last* panel was even better. But it really needs some background in order to work as a quote.
And besides, without the associated *visual*, the full impact isn't quite there.

Allyn Yonge's Sukebe Senshi:
Quote:
" TELL . . .ME . . .WHERE IS THE PRIN---" Nephrite had the ability to fly, teleport, fire bolts of black energy and generate a very impressive force field . Unfortunately he couldn't do them all at the same time.
"I bet this is gonna' hurt."
Nephrite looked down in surprise. He had little interest in humans, except as food for his Youma. The small crippled human had escaped his notice. And normally a single human girl would have been no more dangerous to the Dark General than a butterfly.
However Nephrite was entirely concentrated on the attack . . .his force field was at minimum strength. And Soban had Smith & Wesson's finest product pressed between his legs. Even at minimum strength his force field could not be penetrated by a handgun . . . not completely. But the 240 grain .44 caliber slug left the barrel at 1100 feet/second and only had to travel about 3cm before impact. Screaming in a voice only dogs could hear Nephrite dropped Venus and fell to the ground curled in a foetal position.

Re: I really need to record where I get funny lines from...
The incompleteness of Allyn Yonge's [Sukebe/Subeke/Sukeban] Senshi is one of my great fanfiction laments. In large part, because it's a unique flavor of Sailor Moon you just can't find anywhere else.

I must agree with ECS, I really need to get that squad of elite necromancers together for just these things. Undead don't need silly things like food or rest and can just spend all their time writing. Then again I probably should be the last person complaining about speed.

Re: ROTFL, Part II
Let me get this straight, Miss Granger, Mr. Potter, Mr. Texas The Quick-Notes Quill stopped scribbling on the hovering notebook and moved out of the way as the Chief Auror grabbed it, flipped back a few pages and started reading. Miss Granger all of a sudden decides to come to this, city, the Auror suppressed a shudder at the thought of a wizard wanting to come to Las Vegas. With very little warning to her supervisors, no warning at all to family and friends, you take a month off work and come here just to visit? You had no idea that Harry Potter, the most famous wizard in your country was hiding out here, as a muggle, until you ran into him outside a casino?
Thats right. For once, Hermiones voice didnt sound completely self-assured.
Of course it is. Nobody would mistake the sarcasm in those four words for sincerity. You just happened to pick the one city in all the world that The-Boy-Who-Disappeared chose to hide, by accident. The reunion was just an accident. And then, Mr. Malfoy just happens to run into the both of you, by accident. The Auror seemed to grow more irate with each sentence. Does it look, to the three of you, like I just left NAMBLA School yesterday?

It stands for North American Magical Bureau of Legal Authority, she said, wondering what was so funny. It was created secretly by the United States president 180 years ago when a large number of wizard immigrants started arriving from around the world. NAMBLA is responsible for policing the large number of wizards and witches living within the United States, Canada and Mexico without betraying their existence to the public.

From Serpent in Paradise, a rather... different... LotR fic. Despite the following quote, it's not a comedy, but it does have its moments...
Quote:
"If Mrs. M. faced down the Gestapo, live, at age twenty, then Sauron in a crystal ball should be a piece of cake. After all didnt Radagast say that his Evil Eye thing did not work on the Human mind? That should make it alright."
Minimauw, who had been cleaning her whiskers, while sitting on the table (She was allowed.Try stopping her.) decided to investigate that curious round object that was keeping her minders (dogs have owners; cats have servants) from paying attention to her, and delicately sniffed at the Palantir. Then she patted it with a dainty white-socked paw.
"I AM HERE."
Bristling up her fur, Minimauw became twice her size as she hissed and spat at the glowing ball.
"Oh my!" cried mrs. Mertens, "What brought that on?"
"Here we go again." said Franky., " One Big-eyed Evil, coming up."
"I SEE YOU!"
"How could you fail to, with an eye like that?"
"Mister van Ree! That was rude! " said Mrs. Mertens, admonishingly, " One does not poke fun at a persons handicap."
""But he is Sauron! "
"That is no reason to forget ones manners." said the old lady primly, and turned her attention to the Palantir.
"Good evening, mr. Sauron. I hope we did not interrupt you in anything important"
"Yes, like planning to take over Middle Earth!" quipped Franky.
"Mr. van Ree! Please!"
"I WILL FIND YOU. I WILL FIND YOU BOTH AND IN THE DARKNESS BIND YOU."
"Now now, there is no need for such threats. The young man is very sorry for his silly jokes arent you, mr. Van Ree? and he does apologise"
"YOU WILL SUFFER."
"Please dont take it like this. We dont mean to bother you. In fact, our problem would be solved, and we would not trouble you further if you could just clear the line on this Palantir"

Re: ROTFL, Part II
Glasses coughed off to one side, but Naruto kept scraping at the insides of his skull. There was the whole issue about Chakra control, but that was something he'd probably have to train himself to. He could, of course, ask about training methods, and put that in queue. Finally, his mental fingers (which rather resembled sausages, and were just as graceful) brushed upon an unanswered question that, revealed to the light, irked him.
Okay. I have a question for you. Yesterday, I was talking with Kakashi-sensei and, well, I'm not really going to give you a context for this, but what the hell do katanas and sheathes have to do with hookers? He paused. And, there's another thing. What's the deal with pregnant people? I mean, babies do just appear, right?
Sarutobi halted mid-step, one foot inches off the ground, hands at his side. The position was so ludicrous that it appeared the old man would fall in a heap at any moment. Instead, the Hokage slowly rotated his head to Naruto with eyes that shone with the exact same shade of horror that had tinted Makoto's. "You were talking about hookers with your sensei?"
Naruto nodded vigorously. "Sasuke was there, too. I'm pretty sure he already knows about them, though. I mean, I think Kakashi was trying to be subtle about it, but Sasuke knew what he was talking about right off the bat."
One of the ANBU - Bear, possibly - made a sharp choking noise. Behind the Boar mask, the female ANBU seemed to be backing away. His clones glanced at each other, then at the Sandaime, whose normally coffee-colored skin was losing color so rapidly that he almost matched his robes.
"Kaede-san. No, Boar." The Hokage's voice was uneven and cracking with every syllable. "Tell Himura to rally an emergency assembly of the council. I want to break the speed record for the passing of a law."
"The law, Hokage-sama?" Boar's bow was light, little more than an inclination of her head, but her voice was deep and husky. Behind her mask, Naruto was sure that her eyes were darting at him.
"The proclamation that Hatake Kakashi will never be allowed to teach anyone about ..." The Hokage paused, his hands flailing and grasping in front of him while his mouth traced unreadable silent syllables. Finally, he inhaled sharply enough that clouds of dust gravitated towards him, stood up straighter, and finished in one rather high pitched sentence. "About sex or any act or deviation of it unless directly impacting the fate of a mission."

Luna spent most of that time talking about her Ministry internship. Her reward for being Harry's friend (and Slug Club party date) had been a menial posting within the centralized mailroom.
For ten hours a day, five days a week, Luna's job was to date spell incoming mail and route it to the correct Ministry department. The only spell she was permitted to use was the flying memo incantation. Over the past few days, she had been successfully exploring just how much intent could influence this charm. As a result, rather than sending out simple airplanes, Luna was now creating flying origami swans, owls, and hippogriffs. Harry suggested that she turn the messages into paper thestrals, which would only be visible if the recipient had seen someone using common sense.

From an Eva-Ranma crossover on the Addventure, I think this sums up Ranma's situation in almost any set of circumstances:
Quote:
"So, whatta I do about the -" Ranma made a gesture in the direction of the station.
"Keep quiet, follow my lead, try to act normal," said Misato.
"See, that's kinda a problem," said Ranma. "On account I don't actually KNOW normal. Normal isn't something I've seen except maybe at a distance. My life is kinda ABnormal, if ya get my drift."

I've got a few more which went into my quote file, and I've only now remembered I have:

"Think of us as your own ego-busting squad," Hermione smiled.
"I didnt think I needed it," Harry pointed out.
"You dont," Pansy agreed. "But its always good to be prepared. And to remind you that you are only human. Out there, you will always be Harry Potter, Boy Who Lived, Saviour, Hero, and Sex God. With us, youll just be Harry, our friend and love."
"And Sex God," Daphne added with a grin.

So far as he knew, no other vampire had more control over their demon aspect than Spike did. Except perhaps Harmony, but that was only because the demon expected to be able to use a functioning human brain when it occupied a human body, and that was one organ Harm had not been able to provide.

"Yeah, whatever," Harry muttered, shaking his head. "Anyway, thats enough for today. For homework, you have to cast the curse on fifty small children. I expect their corpses on my desk in the morning."
-- from The Denarian Renegade by "Shezza88", Chapter 32

"You could be a great hero . . . everyone singing your praises. Parades, endorsement contracts. Pretty girls wanting your autograph." Hotaru coughed. "And other things."
"Ah, that stuff never really interested me," Shinji admitted.
"Okay," Hotaru told him, "Pretty boys wanting - "
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!" Shinji shouted, his fists clenching and unclenching.
"You would have no trouble obtaining violinists for a string quartet," Rei offered.
"Where is this robot?! It can't be that bad." Shinji marched through the bays, intent on embracing his destiny.
"Rei-chan," Hotaru said, "You scare me sometimes."
-- from Chalangel, Chapter 1, by Daniel Gibson

"You know, I feel all philosophical at the moment," Harry admitted softly, watching the soft red and orange hues with a reflective expression on his face.
'/Do you have any words of wisdom then?'/
"Yeah," Harry said and his lips curled up into a dark smile. "Lets kill the fuckers."

You can tell a lot about somebody from how they react to somebody kicking them in the head, Nightwing replied in a sagely manner.
