Line 2: * Captain Carrot providing the ultimate [[Repeat After Me]] comedy. * When the Piecemaker is first introduced, inside a very small room. {{quote\| '''Nobby:''' Those things are a bugger for metal fatigue, especially in the safety catch.~~<br />~~ '''Detritus:''' What are a safety catch?~~<br />~~ [[Oh Crap\|Everything went very quiet.]] }} * When Detritus and Cuddy go to see the alchemists and Detritus calls them 'loony bastards' to their faces in a very matter-of-fact way because that's what Colon called them earlier. * Nobby's absolute glee at seeing the Klatchian Fire Engine, as well as his insistence on using it. Not to mention Nobby arming himself to the teeth with weapons and then proceeding to drop half of them. And the footnote about the Fire Engine being banned in eight countries and three religions, while five more religions embrace it as a holy weapon to be used on infidels, heretics, gnostics, and people who fidget during sermons. * [[The Reveal]] of Big Fido, the fierce Hilter-Esque leader of the Dogs Guild, {{spoiler\|as a small fluffy poodle who knows next to nothing about how wolves really are.}} * The [[Running Gag\|lengthy discussion]] about just ''what'' it is they say about dwarfs. When the answer turns out to be that {{spoiler\|they're well-endowed}} and just as you think the joke is that Cuddy misinterprets it as meaning "They have loads of gold," it's turned completely inside-out by the ''real'' punchline: {{quote\| '''Nobby:''' You dwarfs really love gold, don't you?~~<br />~~ '''Cuddy:''' Of course we don't. Don't be silly.~~<br />~~ '''Nobby:''' Well - ~~<br />~~ '''Cuddy:''' {{spoiler\|We just tell it that to get it into bed.}} }} * A similar [[Literal -Minded]] joke with dwarfs: "Have you any previous convictions?" "Well, I used to very firmly believe that a penny saved was a penny earned." * Death's {{spoiler\|visit with Big Fido}}. Also qualifies as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] {{quote\| '''Death:''' {{spoiler\|{{smallcaps\|Big Fido?}}}}~~<br />~~ {{spoiler\|'''Big Fido:''' Yes?}}~~<br />~~ '''Death:''' {{spoiler\|{{smallcaps\|Heel.}}}} }} * Vimes' pun-based metaphors in the narrative when he muses on how Sybil and Nobby get along so well: it must be the attraction of opposites... {{quote\| "The Ramkins were more highly bred than a hilltop bakery, whereas Corporal Nobbs had been disqualified from the human race for shoving."}} * The report Cuddy writes up for Vimes following his visit to the Alchemists guild with Detritus. Cuddy, being a dwarf, writes his police report in the manner of an epic poem. The opening line is especially hilarious. {{quote\| Bright was the morning, and high our hearts, as we proceeded to the Alchemist's guild where events eventuated as I shall now sing.}} }} {{worksubpagefooter}} ~~{{reflist}}~~ ~~[[Category:Men At Arms]]~~ ~~[[Category:Funny]]~~ [[Category:Discworld]] [[Category:Discworld/Funny]]
