Hilarity Ensues 

From the days of newspaper TV Guides that would write two sentence synopses (loglines) of a television show. Sometimes these summaries wouldn't sound comedic on the surface, so "hilarity ensues" was used to ensure the audience understood it was a premise for a comedy.
Tonight on Seinfeld, George decides the best time to have a snack is during sex. Hilarity ensues.

hilarity ensues 

An ending that can be put onto the ends of stories and plans. A convenient phrase to use when your story or plan sounded really dumb. It usually doesn't make much sense.
Me: Ok here's what's gonna happen: I'll go steal her key's and she will spend the whole night trying to find them!
Other People: (stare)
Me: Hilarity ensues.

*Jeopardy Music Ensues* 

When you're waiting for something to happen *Jeopardy Music Ensues*
Hym "Oh jeez oh man... It can't possibly be that I was right... There must be some excuse... I wonder what the excuse could be? 'You weren't sincere!' Oh? That would be convenient for you, wouldn't it? The arbiter of meaning everyone 👏 👏👏 And it would trap me in a situation where even if I was, you still aren't required to adhere to your own ethic. Because it's isn't about 'ethical behavior' it's about mediating outcomes. It's about you controlling your own behavior in spite of or regardless of your ethic and the behavior of your 'lessers' being controlled..............."

Hym ".......... Hello?"

*Jeopardy Music Ensues*

Hym "Hello?.......... I guess I'll just sit here and not do anything for ever...... Or I'll just do what other people want me to do...."

hilarity ensues 

Something funny is upcoming due to a build-up of circumstantial events, or a comedy of errors.

Sometimes involves rape.
You: Fuck! I just shat my pants!
Rape Panda: *Waits for hilarity to ensue*

Disaster Strikes, Hilarity Ensues 

What you say when your friend does something unfathomably stupid, and it bites them in the ass.

After you say this, of course, you laugh.
Friend: Oh shit, I ran off the edge of the map and lost all my stuff!

You: Disaster Strikes, Hilarity Ensues
