Default Your favorite running gag in adventure games

So what's your favorite running gag in adventure games? I'm selling these fine leather jackets? That's the second biggest X I've ever seen? Chuck the plant? You are standing in an open field west of a white house? Leisure Suit Larry 4? Banang?

My favorite is "Seagull appears courtesy of Loom". I was disappointed to not see that in the Tales of Monkey Island credits.

In the old text adventures, a lot of them did funny things when you typed PLUGH.

(It was a magic word in the original "Adventure" game, and a lot of other games co-opted it to do different things, or make funny comments in response, like "Gesundheit!")

Not exactly a running gag in adventure games specifically (don't even know if it appeared in adventure games), but still...

DOPEFISH LIVES!!!

Being resurrected in a puff of orange smoke; not originally intended as humorous in the Crowther/Woods Colossal Cave Adventure, but it was occasionally referenced as an in-joke in later text adventures. Can't recall seeing it used in a graphic adventure though.
