Funniest moment in FO3? SPOILERS

[the4thlaw]

When I was escorting the whore to Rivet City (cherry I think her name is), and telling her to wait while I checked around the corner for super mutants, they started shooting at me and she panicked and ran right into their line of fire.

She kept running around in circles with a trail of minigun fire following her until she decided to duck and was turned into a lead sandwhich.

- The hockey goons you encounter after getting the nuka-clear formula. Especially the girl's line, "I like these guys, they let me play with their pucks!" Plus you get Caps for it. Get it? Washington Caps? Washington Capitols? Hockey? Nyuk nyuk. I'm guessing Ledoux is a tribute to hockey fan favorite film Slapshot, where the goalie's name was Lemieux (similar pronunciation). As for the others, no clue. Don't sound like any Washington Caps players I know or remember. But it's a nice touch the names are French Canadian.

i just had to register to point something out

ledoux and lemieux don't sound at all the same. i'm not sure how you could phonetically spell the "le" part in english, but i'm sure all of you are well versed in the sound of it from those le this and le that and le mutant type of references.

anyhow, it's le-"doo" and le-"mee-euu".. the x is silent

or did you mean the similar pronunciation was all about the le? man, the things that go over my head..

back on topic though, there's a lot of funny things in this game, a lot mentioned in this topic, but i can't really think of any that had me cracking short of the robot's jokes. being a nuclear physicist and all (no, actually i'm not), i find them hilarious

or is it just because you ask for a joke you end laughing nonetheless? hmm...

Well, it's the closest similarity I can find. By my pronunciation, I find "le-deux" and "le-meux" to sound the same in pronounciation and phonetics. The "le" part didn't factor into it, for me it was somewhat of a straight interpretation of "Hockey reference -> Ledoux -> goalie -> not a Washington Cap player (former or current) -> recently watched Slapshot -> Goalie Denis Lemieux -> position and phonetic match"
