is when they provide comedic timing in a way that just doesn't hit the same when it's scripted.
This seed - in a multiworld with 55 worlds, so it's unlikely that any given item is even for my own game, let alone a specific item - also had me give the girl on the Dept Store rooftop Lemonade, which she then immediately handed back to me.1

Editing to add some numbers. That seed received 7 Lemonades and has 709 checks. Across every game in this multiworld, we have 20922 total checks. Obviously this still would've been funny if I got Soda Pop from the Soda Pop check or Fresh Water from the Fresh Water check, but like... that already means a roughly 3.4% chance the item is even for my own game on any given check, before caring about what item specifically.
This seed finished today with one final joke. There's an ongoing thing with my stream communities - and has been for maybe 10 years now - about how much I hate Mr Mime. It's the worst Pokemon ever, with the worst name, the worst moveset, the worst design, hatehatehatehatehate it. I have joke Mr Mime emotes, I have two stream channel point incentives - a really cheap one where I swear at Mr Mime and talk about how terrible it is, and a really expensive one to praise Mr Mime, which usually results in me just saying things like "it's kinda okay i guess"
so anyway this seed required 151 Dex for completion and of fucking course it did. The final 4 Pokemon were all Safari Zone fishing encounters but no, Mr Mime just had to fucking show up last. Of course.
