The Daily Grind: Humor me!

As with real life, humor in MMORPGs is one of the most essential experiences one can have. Humor helps us confront situations, belittle foes, give us new perspective, bind friends together, release tension and provide lasting memories. Everyone — well, most everyone — likes to laugh, even if it's a snort of amusement or a genuine "I'm actually rolling on the floor laughing and trying to keep from peeing myself" guffaw-fest.

So what type of humor do you appreciate in MMOs? Do you like the sly (and not-so-sly) pop culture references and general silliness in World of Warcraft? Do you appreciate quests that gradually unravel to tell a humorous story (such as a LotRO hobbit tasking you with "ghostbusting" a library haunted by a squirrel)? Do you bask in the black humor of darker titles, such as Fallen Earth's macabre references? Does the whimsical nature of Wizard101 make you grin? Do little easter eggs and clever item descriptions tickle your funny bone? What humors you in MMOs?
