* The entirety of Astfgl's promotion, with Vassenego as increasingly manic announcer.
--> '''Astfgl''': Will there be... potted plants?
--> '''Vassenego''': Hosts! Plantations! ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome Jungles!]]''

Of course, part of why they're in such dire straits might have something to do with the fact that, while they've succeeded in inventing the wheel, they're not bright enough to have worked out how to use it properly.

* When Rincewind thinks Quezovercoatl is talking to him [[spoiler:actually, it's Ponce da Quirm trapped in a pit behind the statue]] and asking to be taken with him.
