Things you laughed yourself sick over

[Who's Wee Dug]

In the WFM ALWAY MAKES ME CHUCKLE.
‘Whut’s the plan, Rob?’ said one of them.
‘Okay lads, this is what we’ll do. As soon as we see somethin’, we’ll attack it. Right?’
This caused a cheer.
Ach, ‘tis a good plan,’ said Daft Wullie.

The Dread Portal scene in Guards!Guards!

seconded

When Magrat turns the door to the torture chamber into a tree (or something) in Wyrd Sisters and Nanny and Granny might even be slightly impressed.

 

[HobbitFeets]

Well as i've just finished it...........Again!

The Light Fantastic is the novel. Cohen the Barbarian is the character. Just the way he acts and fights. To be honest any desccriptive detail of him made me laugh out loud.

The Sudden realisaton of what Asphalt's job was in Soul Music:

Support personnel who travel with a band on tour = Roadies

Stealth pun supreme! :clap:

"I ain't been vampired. You've been Weatherwaxed."

 

[Tonyblack]

"I ain't been vampired. You've been Weatherwaxed."

Yes indeed! In fact the first time I noticed the vampire coming under Granny's influence. I think he says something like: "I can't be doing with that" - which is pure Granny.

I am nearly at the end of Jingo and so far it's the funniest book that i've ever read.

 

[Tonyblack]

If you'll be my bodyguard,
I can be your long lost pal!
I can call you Beti,
And Beti, when you call me,
You can call me Al!

I love the way Terry slips subtle references into his books - such as Al and Beti in Jingo.

And that is also a reference to 19390s sand dancers Wilson, Kepple and Betty:

No, High Eight, no! When Tony posted one of those videos in the Jingo discussion here I had nightmares for months.

Dance of Seven Veils - this has to be the one Terry referenced!

Do you know what is really scary? There are still sand dancers around today

Introducing the fabulous Fezheads :clap:

 

[Alanz]

I am in the middle of Sourcerers at the moment, and a passage made me really laugh, The one where Rincewind is in the Drum and a Hooded figure approaches him and says " Psst" to which Rincewind replys Not very, but i'm working on it" Well i nearly wet myself, it really tickled me that one.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

The Dread Portal scene in G!G!.

NO SUGAR PIGGY WIGGY FOR YOU, ALBERT.

Detritus & the Alchemist - 'Ere, you loony bastard, what you make of this ?' Cracks me up, every single time.

Nanny having a bath.

My possible favourite of all though is from Soul Music;

'I can blow anything,' said Glod.
'Really?' said Imp. 'That must make you very popular.'

There's lots of bits that I've laughed myself sick over though.

 

[3blackhearts]

"The Piecemaker" ... says it all really.

 

[janet]

The Ambiguous Puzuma .....never...and I repeat NEVER read the Discworld Companion in a hospital waiting room or anywhere where a fit of hysteria may be inappropriate. I did
I think this creature crops up in Pyramids but please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Dotsie]

Well I wouldn't normally, but since you asked, it's in Small Gods

 

[Tonyblack]

It's Pyramids according to the Companion.

 

[pip]

Dotsie was incorrect to correct Janet. It appears in both books. Its a footnote in Pyramids and one of the animals mentioned in a text Brutha has to memorise in Small Gods
