Heck, half the monsters in the original Final Fantasy are taken straight out of the Monster Manual. Most of them didn't even have their names changed; "Kary" (a mistransliteration of Kali) was used only because "Marilith" was too long for the limited text space granted to monster names (which the Japanese text could allow more of than Roman-language letters; the name was corrected in later PS1/GBA releases), and "Wizards"/"Sorcerers"/etc. because "Illithid"/"Mind Flayer" was copyrighted by WotC/TSR.
We don't need a plan.
DM: Roll a Fort save vs Death
Player: pssh...my fort save is awesome. Do I even really have to roll?
DM: Well since you put it that way, YES. ROLL.
Player: <sigh> /roll...roll=1
DM: muahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Player: I can make that jump, see I rolled great!
DM: You have how much stuff? And your a halfling?
Player:Well I still made the jump, right?
Character belly flops after a 70' fall and begins to drown, weighted down by near max weight limit of alchemical fire and crossbow bolts.

Player: We're high level characters, let's just take what we need. No one here could stop us, it's just commoners and militia.
Characters take what they needed.
DM: Harmless old betty...starts getting bigger, redder and scalier
Player: Polymorphed Dragon, run!
Hear what?
Oracle: How long does that ring of bestial friendship last? Ok, I will put the Roc eggs in the bag of holding.
Druid: (His first session with that character.) I will wildshape and follow the Will-o'-the-wisps up.
I don't have a lot of last words for you but I also have some "almost" last words.
Paladin: It's alright I can lay-on hands once per round as a swift action, I don't need your healing.
Sorcerer: I cast light on my boots.
Sorcerer: I will bring up the rear. (Almost died twice in one session this way)
Sorcerer: Let's go! They can't kill us both! *charges in*
Magus: *charges in, casts invisibility on himself*
Sorcerer (now the only visible target): "Crap."
Reminds me of a game I had with some friends. I played a wizard and we were walking along when we heard some enemies coming. I turned around to face them, three party members stealthed and one went invisible. Doh!!
Death before dishonor! ATTACK!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
What the frak!
Whew! That was a close one! (then the ground falls out from under them)
What is a vorpal bunny?

GM: You stand before a chasm that's so deep you can't see the bottom. It's about fifty feet across. There's no bridge and it's too far to jump.
Distracted player: Huh? A chasm? I jump across!
A rogue standing near the BBEG. 'I'll pick his pocket'
Oh, this was almost a characters last words...'hey, are you...'
This was said after the rogue slinked onboard a slave ship and saw the person she was after, as well as the captain of said ship. She could have had the drop on him had she not asked the 'slave' who she was. She ran instead of doing anything else.

I light the rocket
(We be goblins, last night)
"Halt! Who goes there!"
"I cast dispel magic on the trip-fighter, that should get rid of the suggestion spell". (just before a near-TPK in 3.5)
"I drink the invisibility potion then pick up the lantern and move in. Ow-ow-ow!!! Why are they still shooting at me, I'm invisible!"
My Paladin is Lawful Good so he has no choice but to attack the Chaotic Evil ancient dragon. (yep, Lawful Stupid)
I take my armor off first, I don't wanna suffer any armor check penalties for this swim.
I tell Zeus to kiss it!
We actually had a paladin do this ... in front of Zeus himself.
"I told you my plan would have been better."
Right before both characters die horribly.
I would have far more like those, r-Kelleg, if it wasn't for me insisting the characters make Wisdom checks, seeing as how the characters are sometimes smarter than the players...lol
However, I could never stop the players who insist,
' My character would do it because it is the way he is.'
I jump on the dragons back!
I have a Monk considering this very move!

Heh, memories! :)
During a HERO system (Fantasy Hero) game, we faced a shape-changing female dragon (dragonesse?) whose AC/Dmg Red was so redonkulous, the Magus equivalent jumped on her head, whacked her between the eyes to get her attention, and when she tried to toss him off he actually dove into her mouth and was swallowed. Thanks to that systems rules being a little more flexible regarding what you can do once swallowed whole, he actually defeated her from the inside. The GM gave him most of the experience for that encounter. ;P
"I open the door,... WAIT! I check for traps first!"
"Dragon? Where?"
I have always liked:
"No way the module would put that at this level! I disbelieve in the X illusion..."
"I try to tumble through the group of trolls" (rolled high on initiative but poorly on acrobatics).
We had a Ranger who had made a couple of alignment shifts due to his own actions. He went from CG to the Darkside. The final shift happened when we were in the company of a Gold Dragon. The Ranger's last words were,'I'll take the midnight guard shift by myself.'
The Gold Dragon ... well, he was on watch, too. The Ranger was never seen again.
Sleep is for the weak!
But naps are okay.
