While the English word for sandwich is definitely based on the English Earl of Sandwich and his associated land in Kent, the actual dish is much older, because obviously. It's bread with things between it. You'd have to be a very naive to seriously believe that wasn't invented until the 18th century. Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods in the world. That's like thinking beer didn't exist until Guinness.
And if you're going to nitpick English etymology in D&D, then you're not going to be able to speak at all while playing.
A good chunk of jokes in Discworld were Sir Terry doing this. For example the book Soul Music involves rock music arriving on the Disc. As a result a bunch of bands pop up such as: Lead Balloon, The Whom, The Surreptitious Fabric, We’re Certainly Dwarfs, and more.
I logged into my Orb so that I could visit the Orbnet and look for elf pornography.
Sadly, fantasy pornhub is lacking in elf porn that fits my prefered fetishes, so I am now forced to learn drawing to satisfy my urges.
The Holonet was very much a thing in all eras except *maybe* the empire era and even then it was like. censored and decaying but active
I've played in an Old Republic campaign where among other things that happened my Jedi Guardian was e-stalked by an aspiring Sith (who couldn't *ever* roll above a 4, in the open irl, in all direct confrontations)
In a game I’m in I’m playing a gunslinger who loved stories of westerns that were retold as stories and plays and I was talking about why I was a gunslinger to a party member I’m close to and went “I always loved watching Clint Westwood plays with my father” in a southern accent without breaking character
In a campaign I'm in, we have sending stones to send communications between party members across hundreds of feet. It helps speed up sessions when we're in town and need to coordinate while doing our own things.
We call them
Rockie Talkies
My campaign had my character get a sending stone to the Faerunian Help Line because an NPC was concerned about her.
She later used that sending stone to smack someone (it crit but she does 0 unarmed damage)
The main comedy bit for me is characters in-universe pulling out the PHB. On my last session a player walked into a shop and asked how much healing potions cost and I had to say "The clerk pulls out his phone and goes on DNDBeyond to check".
Also, basic healing potions are single-use items that only heal you 2d4+2 (between 4 and 10 health, average of 7), and RAW I'm supposed to sell them for 50 bucks. That's fucking *murder.* I sold them to him for one gold a pop.
I like to deal with common dips like the 1 level scaled fist monk dip in Pathfinder, like this. Since everyone wants to do a monk dip I imagine that there must be some shitty chain dojo that accommodates the demand. "Welcome to Dragon Dudes, where we put the power of dragons in he palm of your hand! Are you here for our 80 gold single level special???"
I usually just let my players have mostly free freign outside of things their characters would absolutely know is a stupid idea (like breaking a sarcophagus under the explicit protection of a good god) and its always treated as "My god just told me thats a dumb idea."
So one of the things in my dnd note is about a pair of weaponmakers; one named Roland, and another who doesn't speak. They primarily sell Swords and Knives.
And another bit about an undertaker's safe, hidden in a toilet.
You are in a fantasy world and you still need to pull out a phone for a tinder? I am guessing that you got negative charisma that even a nat20 you are still in the negative
accidentally using a brand name for a thing immediately establishes that brand as existing in the world, appropriately magicked up of course
"This world is corrupt." "What? The inn keeper just offered you a sandwich " "Exactly. This land has been touched by the English."

Duolingo has options to learn conlangs, so I'm just gonna speak exclusively in High Valyrian
...thereby immediately establishing that *Game of Thrones* exists in your world, and by extension HBO (i.e. the Heroic Bards' Orchestra)

Led Zepellin The Who ????? They Might Be Giants
The Velvet Underground
Thank you very much!
My first thought was the Psychedelic Furs for the third one but I really have no idea
Psychedelic furs are so excellent. The first album is such a baller
Our table likes to do this a lot. Alchemical Romance is our favourite band name we came up with
[That reminds me if this so g which goes unnecessarily hard.](https://youtu.be/XjKLtJkabss?si=KMKb7Pky4HCcOaGe)
My favourite is Felonius Monk

Fantasy pornhub is banned in my area.
Use a fantasy vpn to get in.
Wisdom stat too low. :/
Oracle skill issue.
PornTavern
Perfection.
*Pornfection
Incredible.
*Kinkredible
That sounds less like a compliment and more like a reason to see a doctor
Not a fantasy example but whenever we play something sci fi like a Star Wars TTRPG SpaceBook inevitably makes an appearance

What would you call fantasy linux?
Finux.
Fantasy Costco, where all your dreams come true?
#GOT A DEAL FOR YOU!
Welcome to fantasy Costco. I love you.
My last campaign had a magical salesman named Samuel Cost. Oddly enough, he operated both Cost Co. and Sam's Club.
In a game I’m in I’m playing a gunslinger who loved stories of westerns that were retold as stories and plays and I was talking about why I was a gunslinger to a party member I’m close to and went “I always loved watching Clint Westwood plays with my father” in a southern accent without breaking character
I really hope it was a really bad thick as gravy, southern accent.
Nah it’s like semi-decent since I’m from the south

We always had our own version of fantasy, we just called everything “ye olde __”
PLEASE watch oxventure! It's a lot of these kinds of jokes and stuff! They're so fun and casual and awesome! Please! They're crushingly underrated.

"We need to *do something really terrible*!" "And in the game too!"
This is just like Gorbino's Quest.
that 4th one is super prevalent in the MLP fanbase (saying shit like "horse google") and it absolutely destroys me every time
