Great escape mission, dressed in Kournan clothing (if you bring Zhed along with you)

You: <Hero> hand me those manacles. Here, Zhed, put these on..
Zhed: Rooaaar!
You: Ok, <Hero> YOU put these on him...
Hero: It's ok, Zhed, Ithink I know what he has in mind.

Classic.

Theres a slightly more subtle reference when Koss, Tahlkora and Melonni get together on the bridge in Joko's bone palace. Very reminiscant of the Return of the Jedi scene where Luke admits he's Leias sister.

Or maybe I'm just a huge Star Wars geek and read into that one way too much
Star Wars FTW! But that last one isnt realy related to star wars.

As for jokes i know a site with lots of edits and jokes but none that where left unedited.

But Guild Wars humor..i dont know,probably Zhed and his "Two legs" comment.

They even reference to it a second time (during an awards show) when you do the end-game quests for Norgu (just go back to Resplendent Makluun for some more hilarious plays... they even parodied the entire Nightfall story, i couldn't stop laughing XD); keep in mind, only possible with characters that have played through Nightfall! (If I'm right, Prince Bokka gives the quest Norgu's Nightfall)

There is an Ash from Evil dead reference,when you go to take the Isle of the Dead quest and the accept button says"Killing undead?Sounds groovy."

This, from Healer Kihm, while not a movie reference that I am familiar with, adds more humor IMO.

mmmmm, i think that might be a reference to the anime dragonball z, the whole thing where goku's wife bashes him aside the head with a skillet when he's this uber powerful warrior and she's just a pretty regular human.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the quest you do to GET Norgu if he wasn't one of the heroes you picked up originally. You can get them by talking to them in the end-gasme area and then performing pretty simple (run here, talk to this guy) quests to pick them up.

"By the power of Grayskull!! ... I... have... the POWER!" --He-Man. Don't ask how I know that.

I love all the self-reflective dialogue, most noticeable (I think) in Vabbi. The guard who talks about really being "a game designer.. you know, toys. For children."

And the other who talks about harnessing points of colored light to show up on a surface in different ways (comp monitor I believe).


SORTA SPOILER--AT LEAST BETTER TO ENJOY FOR YOURSELF THAN TO READ HERE:


And, absolutely laughing out loud at the play we watch, with the big Charr going "Like, Roar" and

Dwarf: "The penalty for trespassing is death. Death I say!"
Rurik: "Line, please?"

Bokka: "This story is awful!"

Wink 11 Herbs and Spices

I haven't got a screenshot yet (because i'm lazy) but in the Bone Palace, one of the NPCs gives you a quest to go and get some kephket legs so she can fry them with '11 herbs and spices'. KFC anyone?

Speaking of Bone palace...

Return Of The Undead King quest...

Gotta love GW and their movie references!

Also, some master quests are named after movies.

ie. A History Of Violence
