The PCs are all midlevel (running a one-shot with level 1 characters is kinda boring to me, and having more power fits this idea pretty well) Muscular Hero Types. Being Muscular Hero Types, they're currently running through Town City looking for the Mead-Ade Man - a magical construct resembling a giant jug of mead with a face that runs around bursting through walls and shouting "OH YEAH!". The PCs track him to the local Church of the Lawful Good Deity, where he busts through a back wall to reveal - GASP! - an enormous, cavernous chamber lit with mystic runes. Again, being Muscular Hero Types, they can't HELP but to follow the monster through an unknown, unexplored dungeon that has a good chance of killing them all.
While inside the dungeon, the focus turns more to inside jokes, but I plan on singling one person out and switching their gender/race every room through contrived traps. Once they get to the final Chamber with Awesome Gear for Everyone, he'll be back to being a male human (or whatever race he originally played) and he will discover a magical Brassiere that is imbued with all kinds of amazing powers, but he can no longer use it.
Any suggestions or comments? (I know the Kool-Ade thing is played out, but still, thinking of it in a DnD setting made me chuckle...) Please, post other comedy ideas here!
Hears one for you that I have bin saving for a joke game. Sandwich worshiping dwarfs, yes there is a back-story but it is rater pointless. If you want to use it go ahead there is a lot of potential. A hear sits down to lunch and is admittedly attacked buy a rater aggressive dwarf who is trying to save the sandwich in a save the princess manner, bonuses points if it’s a paladin of the ham and cheese on rye. I was designing them as a kind of a running gag random event.
I like this a lot, and might steal it for my game. Thanks! This is pretty much what I'm going for - jokes that can be used as either quick interjections into a campaign or fleshed out into a long running gag are perfect.
comedy GoldMine.
magical gold ore that tells bad one-liners. mined for it's trinket sale properties by gnomes.

If you dont mind I would like to read the back-story even if its pointless.
If it makes me lol Ill give you a cookie.
Make a running gag with 10' poles. Pole-vaulting. Poles that are trapped. Animated poles that try to rescue any poles the party posseses. An intelligent pole that talks to the party. Traps that consist of poles. A giant fish that wields a pole. A noble that is obscesed with poles. Poles as treasure.
At some point, the drunken Kobold sorcerer teleports over the character's head, and then pol-vaults over the entire party, and teleports away again just before hitting the ground.

Ok fine ill give you the plot as I have it, incomplete. Long ago in a deep under ground cleric of a miner deity was asked buy the leader of a mining operation why they would donate to his order. His answer was ‘if you are faithless what do you believe in a sandwich?’ this was over heard by one of the younger workers who in his ladder years was considered vary holy and wise. A few individuals were beginning fallow a god of opposite alignment an in his rage is stormed up to a known leader in the group an yelled ‘the the belief in your god is less than mine in a sandwich!’ to witch he was promptly killed but the seeds of the followers of the sandwich were sown.

Rather Freudian, don't you think? :D

Not as much as jokes about staffs. Or rods. Especially of the Lordly Might variety. Or charisma jokes. Those never get old
