Whenever anyone plays a spell or activates abilities:
"I'll allow it."
"Resolves."
Or we go into a long chain of: (We all know nobody has responses)
"Pass priority."
"Retain priority. Response. No nevermind. Pass priority."
"Hold priority. (looks ponderously at hand for a while) Pass priority."
Also occasionally there are Eor voices.
"Ooooookaaaaay."
"Sometimes I just wanna dieeeeeee."
That mostly stopped after the store owner threatened to kick us out.
A friend of mine uses Little Girl cards as tokens and managed to have 9 of them out with a Yavimaya Elder (Urza's Destiny). He alpha struck someone and had to sacrifice the Elder, gaining cards in the process.
#1 - Did you just have Grandpa lead those little girls into battle?
#2 - Yes, yes I did.
Me - And then he ended up going to prison for it.
Guy - "Woah, that's a lot of big dudes."
Player A - "You're a lot of big dudes."
Guy - "What are you saying I'm fat?"
Player A - "Uh... yeah. Yeah I am."
"Man I feel Jin Gitaxis coming down any minute now"
"Screw this, I'm going to go home and beat my wife."
"What is that? Island? Yeah that card really needs to be banned."
"Cards in hand?" (always happens right before a mind twist)
"I'm making a new deck. It's mean. Like turn four kill everyone, mean."
"And I can take a tire iron to your knees, doesn't mean it's a road we wanna go down."
"That's the second Sensei's Divining Top I've milled away this game."
"You win life."
Guy 1: "Ew...your board state is kinda freakin' me out right now."
Guy 2: "The guy sitting next to you just told you he was a boardline sociopath and you're worried about my board?"
Me: "Yeah, that's perfectly sound logic. I have no reason to do him harm at the present time, he's amusing me. Er, no lasting harm."
"No, the correct play when Drana hits the table is to kick him in the junk and tell him he had it coming."
"So I have three win conditions. I can swing at you. I can cast Insurrection and kill you with your own artifact army. Or I can just say 'pass turn' and let your own Mind Unbound deck you."
Guy 1: "Genesis Wave for...(counts)...twenty seven."
(Flips Phage the Untouchable)
Guy 1: "Son of a mother******* *****! This is gonna make it a lot harder to kill Joe, isn't it?"
Me: (Laughing really hard) "Suck it."
Guy 2: "Stifle?"
Me: "Oh you whore..."
Me: (Plays Gravepact)
Everyone else: I ******* hate you.
Me: It's Ghave's will that you all die miserable and creature-less.
Guy playing Blue: "It's Negate's will that you will get nothing and like it."
Greenlexluthor, that actually might be the greatest thing I have seen in this thread. Kudos!
There was one game where I cast Wood Elves, equipped it with Skullclamp, recurred it and Karmic Guide with Reveillark, which also brought back Rune-Scarred Demon. I then searched for another land, a Tooth and Nail, and then Clamped the elf again to draw two more. My opponent just goes, "All aboard the train to Value Town."
Any time someone gets a poison counter in any game I play in, I start singing Down With the Sickness by Disturbed, and they're usually dead before I finish the song.
One of the first times I casted Vindicate after buying it, I blew up someones planeswalker, and someone else said, "Guess he was selfish. And wrong."
Guy 1: "Genesis Wave for...(counts)...twenty seven."

I love my playgroup lol.
Nice, I have a "negate smile" i do right before i counter a spell, so much that my group hates to see me smile with open mana lol. Also just so you know, Genesis Wave gives you a choice to put the perm into play or let it go to your graveyard, but no need to point it out to your opponent lol!
My playgroup knows my love for copying effects very well.
Guy playing Progenitus: 'Alright, even if he's going to copy it - Genesis Wave for 15!'
me: 'The question is not IF I'll copy it, but how often.'
Friend, noticing me flipping through someone's trade binder: 'Don't show him the red! I'm always on the receiving end of it.'
EDH/Commander is a social format, right? So why don't people use their social skills to discuss what they like and don't like, instead of adopting a list with 60+ banned cards?
Playing a Ruhan deck filled with 24 cards that featture Raymond Swanland Artwork, i announce "Everybody loves Raymond" in a deep Robert Barone (Brad Garrett) voice each time i cast one of them, just to annoy my opponents a little.

Friend and I started a 4 man pod against two other people we've never played before.
Myself: Grimgrin, Friend: Riku, them Karador and Kresh I think.
Up until turn 3 my friend is only playing ramp cards.
Karador "do you have any other cards in your deck besides ramp?
Me "nah, his deck is just 30 odd lands and ramp cards. I call him 'Mana Ramp Man'!"
Karador "all that ramping has to be for something"
Me "don't worry about it. Mana Ramp Man can't do anything"
Later on
Friend: "I cast Gen Wave for 20, copy it with Riku, Reverberate, then copy every creature that isn't legendary. I then Rite of Replication kicked and copied on Darksteel Colossus. Btw Urabrask."
him: "Danger zone..."
Me: "shut up Archer."
