** The Anhk-Morpork [[BadassBoast anthem]]:
-->When dragons belch, and hippos flee,
-->My thoughts, Anhk-Morpork, are of thee,
-->Let others boast of martial dash,
-->For we have boldly fought with cash,
-->We own all your helmets, we own all your shoes,
-->We own all your generals-touch us and you'll lose.
-->Morporkia! Morporkia! Morporkia owns the day,
-->We can rule you wholesale. Touch us and you'll pay."

***The second verse is only one line, because the writers knew that was all the people'd remember:
-->We can rule you wholesale, credit where it's due.

* The Bengo Macarona football chant, adjusted (at Macarona's insistence) to include ''all'' his academic appointments and titles. An OverlyLongGag as well, since after a couple repetitions the list has gone on for two pages. Worth slogging through if you like puns.

** This troper suggests this scene: The wizards' ship has fallen apart, and they've barely made it to the next island. Before, when they were out in the sea, they saw the [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Bursar]] swimming away from them slightly, before remarking that they shouldn't worry, he always comes back. He does come back. On a wave. Standing up. Surfing. Ridcully and Ponder watch as he avoids death several times, and when he glides up on the beach, shoving the plank into the sand, what does he say...?
-->'''Bursar:''' Hooray. My feet are wet. This is a nice forest. It's time for supper.

*** ''Especially'' when someone [[GoodOmens completely and utterly pissed out of his mind]] tries to pat him on the back. Vetinari catches his hand in midair and reveals an encyclopedic knowledge of the man's football team's standing. After which the guy passes out.
--->'''Vetinari:''' I would just like a couple of people to take him back to his home. I would like them to put him to bed and see that no trouble comes to him. Perhaps they ought to stay with him until morning too, because he just might try to commit suicide when he wakes up.
