That Tobias Funke pulled up to Bungie ready to get some lines written and in a series of hilarious misunderstandings he gets the impression he's actually supposed to be there even though he isn't.

I'm curious to see what he wrote.

Something that struck me while playing MCC... (reply)

... was just how funny Halo 1-3 were at times. Some of the dialog during cutscenes, banter between NPCs, reactions of the Grunts and Elites... the original Halo trilogy made me laugh out loud constantly. 343 has burned almost all humor from the Halo franchise since they took over, but I expected Bungie to retain more of their classic humor with Destiny.

Doesn't mean it leads somewhere, though. (reply)

One of my favorite lines from an NPC in the Reef.

This joke is not a natural vocalization (reply)

I'd love to skip the joke that is this game's cutscenes. (reply)

I think that's a decent execution. (reply)

The joke's lame, but if a particular story event has multiple dialogue possibilities, some rarer than others, it's fun! Eris was the closest to that with that line.

I liked it.

I never read that as anger. More like a friend calling me "Rag" and me saying in a faux annoyed tone, "It's Raga. I ain't no dish towel." Your Ghost isn't all laugh track or anything, but he does have a (somewhat dry) sense of humor:

"Oh, we slayed a Gate Lord!"
"Can't we just stay here with the murderous robots?"
etc.

I also just think Eris in general is a riot.

I really like the way Luke Timmins described Eris as this crazy lady that keeps saying stuff like "He's coming!" and you just think she's crazy, but now in The Taken King we're going to realize, oh crap! He really is coming!

Yeah, that "joke" Eris had about ghosts opening doors was a little cringeworthy. I'm not confident in Bungie delivering funny.

Really? I liked it. It was purposefully self-deprecating given the early criticisms about the Ghost and I appreciate that it’s on a randomized trigger. I think I’ve only heard it three times ever, so it’s still fun to hear.

Actually I liked that joke as well. I do, however, think it is demonstrative of the point that Bungie seems to have intentionally made that line of dialogue less common than others.

Destiny really needs a Han Solo. I hope they add in some funny quips in the new expansion.

Even good jokes don't improve with repetition. If the content was good, people would be clamoring for more after they've heard the ones they link ten, a hundred, a thousand times.

If they were bad, they'd be clamoring for a Skip Joke button.

Well there's your problem; Dinklebot's 'Funny' setting was set to zero.

It's true! He literally gets mad when you make the only joke in the whole game "little light".

Apparently Zavala makes fun of Eris in the campaign mission they played at E3.

This is what I was hoping our ghost would be like.

Likewise, I had Hoped that Ghost would have actually played a key part of your story, but alas, he was nothing but a skeleton key, and the equivalent of that stand by the nearby mall's entrance that tells you what the weather is like just beyond the glass doors.

Yes, that would have been amazing.
