In the past, several bounties have been offered, both for making questions attract more answers and for rewarding already existent answers (which are the actual aims of bounties).
Beside the default ones, some users started to write witty messages for the bounty: since I truly believe that a lot of them contained clever puns or were very funny, I suggest to collect them here, in imperishable memory.
Thomas Markov offered 100 Rep Points on the question How many creatures fit on a Carpet of Flying during combat? and disrupted our childhood memories:
Sorry Aladdin. According to the rules of D&D, you unfortunately cannot show me the world.
After a long journey in the mystic lands of India, Thomas Markov brought me some spice for an answer to Does every magic rod, wand, crystal, orb, and staff count as an arcane focus?
I'm awarding 500 Markov's Salt & Vinegar internet points to Eddymage's answer for the several keen observations made about the magic items from the more recent book releases. Warning: Internet points manufactured in a facility that also produces reddit karma.
Rather than sit and laugh at my own jokes, I'd like to put forward two posts I gave bounties to because I thought they were tremendously funny.
From the early days of the site, myxzplk provides guidance for finding other players that has stood the test of time. The guidance is worthy of a bounty, but one phrase insightfully caricatures people who just fling their desire for players out into the universe expecting the game to come to them; it was for that phrase I offered this bounty message:
100 internet points to mxyzplk for this beautiful piece of English prose: "I wanty the game".
Four words, one of them spelled incorrectly, perfectly captures so many of the low effort "looking for group" posts I have sifted through across various forums and brick-and-mortar shop bulletin boards.
The question How to deal with a player who says no all the time? presents a tale of a problem player who apparently doesn't actually want to play the game, declining to bite on any of the plot hooks and content opportunities presented by the DM. Upper_Case provides a perfect diagnosis of the problem, for which I gave a bounty with message:
Refusing to play or refusing to allow the game to be played by others is not a playstyle.
While we embrace a plurality of playstyles on this site, Upper_Case helpfully points out that refusing to play the game and impeding the play for others is not a playstyle, so naturally, we shouldn't have to tolerate such silliness at the table of play. I don't know what it was, but something about the candidness of this statement gave me quite the chuckle.
GROODY MAKE GOOD ANSWER. GIVE GROODY 200 LEGS OF DEER FOR MAGLUBIYET'S BLOOD FEAST.
For Does the Wristpocket spell allow a bead from the Chronurgy wizard's Arcane Abeyance feature to last forever? in reference of the screen name awarded to Groody the Hobgoblin.
I very fondly remember this one from when I asked a question, then delved in to dig through all the books myself after I had gotten a few rather... opinionated answer to a very delicate question about how the game itself presents their splats to stand towards LBGTQ-topics:
Trish's answer is the kind of things that we should show new comers to aim for. It deservers more recognition. - Sardathrion - against SE abuse
For an answer that broke the limit of the text field
