So why this thread, then?
- Sure, the tone of the RP lends itself well to these becoming canonical references (Arceus, I've been doing a ton of them), but it's easier (and just as fun) to do a sandbox version of incorrect quotes.
- It's generally a lot faster to dish out dialogues involving multiple characters (including those that don't belong to us) in a dedicated incorrect quotes sandbox.
- Some incorrect quotes hinge their funny on "out-of-character but not quite" moment that do not readily fit in the RP canonically, but are somehow in line with the character.
Lucius: Ever's gone, so while they're out I'm going to cut the sleeves off of all my shirts.
Kai: Why?
Lucius: They're pretty much 85% of my impulse control.
(Source: totallyfubar.tumblr.com) - Some quotes get their funny by applying it to the last character you'd expect.
Silas: Mr. Petersen? I don't feel so good.

THE RULES
- Always quote in good faith. Do not, under any circumstances, use an incorrect quote to snipe passive-aggressively at someone. I will leave it up to the mods to dispense with the appropriate penalties. Grandfather clause applies to the examples below, but moving forward, incorrect quotes attributed to a character should ideally be done with their tacit approval, or at least congruent to a type of humor they typically find acceptable.
- If you've made an incorrect quote before elsewhere prior to this thread being created, and the recipient responded to it positively, that counts as approval.
- ADDENDUM: Although overt permissions are not 100% required for characters, they still must correspond to the known preferences of the person. If you know a person has a pet peeve (toilet humor, etc.), do not tie it to their characters. As a rule, don't do something they don't typically like unless they tell you it's okay otherwise. When in doubt, ask permission.
- I do not need to explain why overtly racist, sexist, homophobic/transphobic, or otherwise discriminatory humor is not allowed by default.
- You are encouraged to spag these with others and their characters. They're fun.
- Politics restrictions as applied to the RP apply here. If you really want to get heavy handed and quote something controversially political, use a villainous character, preferably one you have the permission to use. Use only fictional examples here.
- Always cite where you derived your quotes and quote them accurately/verbatim, give or take a few ways to Pokémonicize/WAAPTify them and condense them as needed. Try to get a quote from the original source media as much as possible.
Arthur: Macraumelot!
Merlin: Macraumelot!
Lancelot: Macraumelot!
Guiscard: Macraumelot!
Solaire: Macraumelot!
Charolette: It's only a model.
(One song and dance number later.)
Arthur: On second thought, let's not go to Macraumelot. 'Tis a silly place
(Source: Monty Python and the Holy Grail) - It's okay to repeat a couple of quotes every once in a while, but don't spam the entire thread with the same quote from Brooklyn 99 in rapid succession. A conservative estimate would be to wait at least two page's worth of incorrect quotes before repeating one.
- We have teenagers here. Keep it PG-13.
- Feel free to incorporate the quotes from here into the RP itself.
Happy incorrect quoting, everyone!
