(During an IRC game where the objective was to quietly off two people in an appartment building. It was a team of about 5 'runners.)
Ader (Human mage (aka: me)): I'll use my improved invisibility spell lock to sneak into the lobby and take out the security camera.
Sammie:Ok, when that's done, click your radio and head for the 3rd floor elevators. We have a plan, let's stick to it and nobody will know until they start to stink.
*Ader does so, and is not detected. but I'm disconnected.*
(reconnects)
GM: You regain conciousness, you have numerouse cuts and bruises but seem to be ok. The firefight rages around you.
Ader: WTF!!!? How did this happen? What's the body count up too?
Sammie:"I tossed a grenade and all hell broke loose, I think 4 civilians and a poodle are down."
The entire team got holed up in an apartment and was captured.

I'm GMing for my regular group and I've just given them their mission. A Yakuza operative has requested that they make a Mafia-run casino "No longer a viable asset." I figure, since we play in a relatively low power group (No panther cannons here for christ's sake), this will give them a bit of a challenge to say the least. All of them have been talking for quite some time, coming up with various infiltration plans to either bust the place up or plant expolosives to destroy the building. Finally Ian comes up with a plan:
Ian: Wait a sec guys, we're getting too complicated. Why don't we just park a giant bomb outside the casino and set it off.
Chris: Hey, yeah, it can just be a big fuel and fertilizer explosive.
Matt: (Laughing) We'll go all Oklahoma Federal Building on their asses!
Me: (Wailing in despair) Fuuuuuuuuuuuck!
As soon as this fraggin "terrorism run" went down the Feds were on them fast as hell. They all decided Bug city was a great place to lay low. I'm gonna have a lot of fun.

The players are having some major troubles and are stopped by the UCAS military. Gobar is carrying his simsense deck with a collection of movies. The soldiers let them pass, but confiscate Gobar's copy of"Naughty Night Elf Nurses". The group is mourning the loss of the this most potent piece of extremely rare simsense entertainment when Joe pipes in.
Joe: Wait a sec guys, if we really need to we could hire a simsense studio to recreate the movie.
Ian: It's impossible, that movie starred some of the greatest like Tits McTits, and Penis!
Chris: Damn, we'll have to go on a run to get it back. That movie is like an artifact.
Me: Damn right, "Naughty Night Elf Nurses" is the pinnacle of simsence porn achievement.
Needless to say we all realized what we were going on about, and found the final statement particularly hilarious.

This is probably one of those "had to be there" type funnies, but here goes...
The team was pulled off into what would be best described as an astral quest (it's a non-canon run), and were making their way through and underground labyrinth. The maze was filled with human/elf hating orks, and Spike was the only Ork on the team, which made him the team's ambassador.
Unfortunately, all the orks in this realm were green skinned and he was caucasian.
Grak (NPC Ork guard): "So what's up wit yer skin anyway?"
Spike (Ork Shaman): "Ahh . . . I'm an albino."
Grak: "Albino?!? Don't that make you, like, colorblind or sumthin?"
Spike: "Yes."

My players just pulled off a hellish carjack of an ares truck and were cruising down the interstate after their mage and physad/assault rifle specialist had trashed a whole bunch LoneStar cruisers.
Me (GM): You see the 'vette you're supposed to link up with pull out in front of you, it's tail-hitch gleaming.
Killfast (the decker turned rigger for the run): Ok, well, I'm jacked in so I set my front hitch to connect to it...I'm gonna have to roll, aren't I?
Me: Yep
KF rolls and gets one success, on the dot, utilizing his entire rigging pool along with his 2 in cars.
Killfast: Whoa, glad that's over, didn't think I'd be able to pull that off.
Melian (I swear I have no idea what kind of char she's supposed to be): "Oh, it probably would have helped if I drove, wouldn't it?"
Melian has a 6 in cars, and a 8 reaction. She "forgot to bring it up" when the team was deciding who was driving.

More recent session, in which I severely powered down my favorite PC, an elven sorcery adept. This is why we try NOT to do any other type of gaming before a session.
Situation: Meeting the rest of the team, and having a nice little 'talk' with what could possibly be the WORST idea for a crossover ever before the next run could start.
Me: (looking over at the small pink squid-things backing away from the group) God, let one of them NOT be named 'Niffiwan'...
GM: (as his PC mage) Oh, they're not from around here, I'm guessing...
PC street samurai: (in deep, evil voice) You will now die. Make whatever preparations are necessary for your species.
(The rest of the group, immediately getting the Star Control 2 reference, groans and immediately pelts the sammy in various foodstuffs.)
Remember, folks: STICK WITH THE GENRE OF THE GAME YOU'RE IN!

Dan, for those of you familiar with Street Fighter, is a martial artist throw-away character. In SR, he's a Physical Adept with his own martial art.
Dan's walking down a halfway and is confronted by two men in heavy military armor with AK 97's. He's wearing light security armor.
Dan: "Why don't you lily-weight pansies put down those guns and fight me like men?!"
He survived the bursts, and managed to punch them out.

Dan (same phys adept) and his fellow runners find the object of their search... a completely delta-wared man cybered to be like a dragon.
Dan: "Just stand back and let ME handle this in honorable combat!"
Me OOG: Shoot him in the back while Dan's fighting.
Dan Hibiki
Dan (still a Phys Adept) is preparing to fight the cyber-dragon martial arts master.
Dan: "You gave up any real power you have when you gave up your body and sanity! Face the power of Saikyo-Ryu, the strongest style!"
He taunts, and the cyber-drag defends with a Willpower test. He chuckles.
The Cyber-drag uses it's metal claws to tear a large metal crate into shreds with it's bare hands. Dan succeeds in avoiding being intimidated. The fight begins.

Birds In Mouth: Looks like the security is light. Patrol outside, couple more inside.
Kliste: Right. So, how many cyber zombies do you think they have?
Oscar: Eh, probably only three or four.

The group had managed to find itself in the future (some packaged adventure... GM wouldn't show me the book) and was standing outside a fortress gate, while angry natives looked down from above. Then, I had a bright idea.
Birds In Mouth: (OOC) I'm casting Armor. Blood seeps from my skin again, right?
GM: (OOC) Yeah, the drain's still physical.
Birds(ooc): Right. Resist drain. I'm assuming a threating stance, my hands curled into claws.
GM: (OOC) Huh?
Birds In Mouth (IC) I am the blood god Shabanigdoh! Bow before me or be consumed by your own soul! HAhahahaha!
GM:(OOC)(short pause)...they begin firing arrows at you.
Birds:(OOC) Dammit! What kind of supersticious natives are they?

Rock and Vanlor were fighting a Vampiric Great Dragon with NPC Martin De'Vries, while Van was pinned behind a huge piller and De'Vries was running away from a frag grenade.
GM: So Rock what do you want to do?
Rock: I want to use my monowire to chop off 6 inches off his tail then flip him the bird and giggle.(Rock is a 9 and a half foot troll)
GM: well...roll qickness...
RockSteady
RockSteady was pinned behind a huge piller...
GM: Van what do you want to do?

GM: give me a rool...
Van: I rooled two 14's...
GM: well, you hit and my great vampiric dragon closes his left eye...
Van: (in game)frag you...
Vanlor
Rock was sitting at the Sharky's Bar in Seatle talking to Nick (another PC) about a run they were going to do with Vanlor. After hearing the run would have something to do with hunting vampires, Rock yelled "VAMPIRES!" and got the attention of the entire bar. After rolling like drek on his intimidation roll (trying to intimidate the bar), he made a funny face and hissed like a vampire. Instead of intimidating the bar, the rest of the people found it humorious. One red headed guy at the bar mimicked Rock and laughed at him. Rock wasn't too happy about it...
Rock (turning to the guy who mocked him): Hey, yo. You want to come outside and smoke a dubee with me?
Guy (obviously drunk): yeah, sure.
Rock takes the guy into an alley outside the bar. They stand around a burning barrel that some bums are hundled around. Rock lights the dubee and hands it to the guy...
Rock (mouthing quietly to the bums and pointing to the guy): I'm going to kill him.
The bums back away. Rock picks up the guy.
Guy: Hey man, put me down!
Rock: ok.
Rock throws the guy head first into the flaming barrel. The guy screams and manages to get himself out. He runs arounds around screaming as his entire body is engulfed in flames. Rock takes out his guns and starts shooting at the guy. That's about the time an undercover Aries Night Arrent, disguised as one of the bums, wripps off his rags and jumps back with blurring speed and points a gun at Rock...
ANA: Drop the fraging gun, now!
GM: What are going to do now, Rock?
Rock: Oh, drek.

I was duty-bound not to tell the others this, but my friends and I had been gaming together long enough to read each others' nonverbals . . .)

Galgeron(psychotic Ork Adept) tosses Bagheera her jacket back, rather singed and grease covered, "So how much you figure this thing is worth anyways?"
Bagheera(psychotic human rigger) says "Doah yoah wahnt lihst prahce, oah waht eht's wohth noah?"
Ragnar(Non psychotic elf Adept) returns eventually, and meets the Galgmeister and the Baghorama in front of the building, "Yep, that was Shiawase. Not sure but they may or may not like their drone back. Offered me a job too." he shrugs, "Might be good will to offer their machinery back."
Some gears start whirling in his head, "Actually you're right Ragnar, the polite thing to do would be to have the drone repaired, replace the bullets it used, and maybe give it a nice new paint job. I figure I could do a nice job with that myself. Oh wait, I almost forgot that the reason it would even have bullets that need to be replaced is because it SHOT THEM AT ME!"

Sir Krustin
(We're in the Underground, looking to bust up a burglary ring. The team has gotten separated by some traps. The GM has told the two of us he'll get back to us after dealing with the other two team members. He's made a few rolls and passed a few notes to Kurt in the meantime.)
GM (to another player, out of the blue): You turn around, and find Jack unconcious on the ground. Kurt is nowhere to be seen.
Jack: Huh? So I'm at deadly?
GM: Deadly plus two over.
(He explained what had happened after the game. Stupid vampires and their stupid Control Thoughts on my stupid drunken teammate... :P)

Stackfault lights up a cigarette with minutely shaking hands, waiting for Galgeron to provide the details with practically bated breath. Over and over again, he silently tells himself to stay cool and be professional. A man's first shadowrun is always the hardest.
OOC Stock thinks the last one typically was harder.

Prowler (resident dwarven tribal adept) gets cornered in his friend's apartment by the landlord after Loone Star has detained said friend for questioning:
GM (landlord): Who are you? How'd you get in here?
Prowler: I...uhhh...I'm dropping off some food (which I was in fact).
GM: Well, the tenant here has been arrested, how'd you get in?"
Prowler (thinking on his feet): Uhhhh...I just sort of showed up, he always orders food on Wednesday for delivery."
GM: " Uh-huh, so who are you?"
Prowler, looks at the food he's carrying from the local Thai place, and sounds out in Thai: "Angry Chicken?"
Skip ahead two hours to Lone Star's APB for 'Angry Chicken' wanted for questioning; they never translated the actual name; you could hear the laughter all the way from Bangkok...
