One of [[Roald Dahl]]'s many morbid children's books, ''[['''The Twits]]''''' describes Mr. and Mrs. Twit, an inexplicably married couple who despise one another, smell and are [[Complete Monster|generally horrible people]] who [[Kick the Dog|are cruel to animals]].
 
The first couple of chapters describe the couple [[Gross-Out Show|and their lack of hygiene]] with a delighted glee; then there are several chapters of them [[Escalating War|playing increasingly mean tricks on one another]], including Mr. Twit convincing his wife that she has a disease called "the Shrinks". Finally, the focus shifts to some of the animals they have been tormenting and how they get their revenge on the horrible couple once and for all.
Line 43:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: [[Played for Laughs]] in the chapter "Four Sticky Little Boys." When said little boys are are superglued to the Twits' tree by the seats of their pants and Mr. Twit decides to [[I Am a Humanitarian|bake them in a pie in place of the birds they scared off]], the fourth of them is the only one smart enough to think, "[[Fridge Logic|Wait, if we're only stuck by the seats of our pants, why don't we just slip out of them and get the heck out of here?]]".
