So as you may already know from another thread, I recentlty rolled up a kitsune enchanter who is going to focus on the hideous laughter spell. I'm not looking for more advice on how to build the character, but I do need some help coming up with some one-liners for the character to use when she casts the spell.
I have one so far:
Q. What do you call a creature that has to make two DC 25 will saves or die laughing?
A. You!
So, anybody got any other good ones? If it helps you come up with appropriate ones, she is a kitsune sorcerer with the serpentine and impossible bloodlines.

"You can't spell slaughter without laughter!"
"This next joke's killer."
"You're probably a redneck if..."
"Zip zappity bip bop!"
And if racism/sexism is rampant/prevalent/ubiquitous/monolithic, you can go with one of these:
"Women's/Tiefling's/Half-Orc's/Nagaji's rights."
Lastly, Secret Wizard has a good idea with making a pun out of the enemy's name.
"You'll be goblin' up this joke!"

OMG I love these, thanks. And I do intend to make some up on the sport, possibly even referencing things that happened earlier in the fight/scenario, but I do want to have a few lined up and ready to go in case I'm not feeling inspired that day.

I vote for build knock.
Note to self: lobby Mike Brock to allow free Iron Will and Improved Iron Will for all bad guys... :-)

Still wouldn't help, lol. I worked up the figures on this build at level 8, and let's just say the melee members of my party are going to be getting the +4 to their attacks from hitting a prone enemy a lot.

Generic one liners are usually not so good.
Lo, do not thine enemies quiver like the Jello,
and perforce, as your besweatered sage Cosby once out it:Is there not always room for jello, fools?

I have the touch hideous laughter too.
Two dwarves walk out of a bar...
the elven mating call, wait for it...
Two aasimars, no wait they're all gone now.
The gnomish mating call, Squirrel!
I saw three vampires get into a cart, they turned into a succubus.
Want to see a Szarni squirm, ask what's in their pocketsess
I figured out who killed Aroden - it was the butler!

Settle down. I just chuckle when people post builds that have so many adjectives attached. Like a cross-blooded A/B sorcerer, dual-cursed C/D oracle X-born Y tiefling. It's not quite uncontrollable laughter, but I find the humor.

Would you like to hear a joke?
(This is the OP in character, BTW)

If you speak with a forked tongue it might be impossible to make heads or tails of it. I'm not sure you can outfox me though.

I find that developing a personality, attitude and motivations really help with the one liners. It may seem trivial or to not matter but if you know why you're adventuring, why you're in the society, why you're in a faction, how you got to cast spells, why you use hideous laughter and why you're so good at it, you should find yourself with a plethora of spontaneous ideas on what to say.
My Urgathoan Cleric uses a Scythe. He relishes combat and enters saying things like: Foe! Fall before my blade like wheat under the scythe!
Allow me to usher you into the waiting arms of death.
You haven't died yet? Allow me to rectify.
When channeling he typically says things like:
Behold the glory of my dark mistres.
These are but wounds of the flesh, the pain shall cease when you die.
By my will I command you into submission.
Death! Death shall claim you all!
And to intimidate he might say something like: Good, you're eager to fight: I'll animate you first.
Other offhand phrases: Your parlor tricks cannot compete with the real thing.
Brother, how do you prefer we slay these cattle? (He adventures with another evil negative channeling cleric friend).
To prove my point, I made up 4-5 of these as of this post and am feeling quite far from inspired. The better ones were actually said during gameplay. They all come naturally now. So maybe give the back story and try and see if that fuels your innate creativity?
For you these come to mind:
Tell me if you think this is funny...
Have you heard the one about the guy who died laughing?
Guys, wait, before we start just hear me out. Knock knock....
You see this stomach buldge- well it's not pregnancy, this is my litter box being full for a week.

how about "that barbarian(or fighter) is so dumb, he has to remove his pants to count to 1"
Hahahahaha!
Also some very good stuff Dark. I really haven't gotten into this character's backstory and motivations yet. I normally have a little bit of the backstory, flesh out the crunch, and then write a good backstory to fit it. In this case, I guess I need to get onto that.
