History Funny / InheritanceCycle

** As the werecats all arrive at the Varden, all the main leaders are at the front, Orrin, Orik, Nasuada... and Angela who is... knitting tube socks. With eight needles.

-->'''Roran''': "It's this, or walk"

--> '''Eragon:''' "The scale on your snout is regrowing."

--> '''Glaedr''': Argh. [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes I hate spells that interfere with one's memory]]. They're the worst form of magic, always leading to chaos and confusion. [[GenreSavvy Half the time they seem to end with family members killing one another without realizing it.]]

-->It occurred to Eragon that although the dwarves were the shortest of the races, they built the biggest structures in Alagaësia, which seemed odd to him. ''Perhaps'', he thought, ''[[CompensatingForSomething by making such enormous objects, they do not feel so small themselves.]]'' He almost mentioned his theory to Orik but at the last moment decided that it might offend him, so he held his tongue.

* Eragon's reaction to the giant snails, Snalgli. Whether the situation was really all that funny is debatable, but his amusement is infectious.

* Eragon's ineptness with politics. This alone should have made it painfully obvious to any reader that he was never destined to become the next king of Alagaësia. One particularly amusing example comes towards the end of ''Inheritance'' during the discussions regarding just that matter: who is to be the next monarch. King Orrin of Surda is pushing for the position, but Nasuada is adamant that it should be hers. She offers him certain territories, at which point he starts quibbling over which ones should be part of the deal. At this point, it's obvious to anyone studied in politics that everything is done except the details and that Nasuada has just become the next queen, but Eragon still worries that Orrin is still after the job.

* Anytime the mighty Saphira behaves in a playful cat-like manner.

* The entire Missing-A-Scale scene in Inheritance

* During the siege of Belatona, Eragon tries to spear soldiers standing on top of a guarded wall. [[EpicFail Not only does he miss them]] ''[[EpicFail completely]]'', but the soldiers call him on his failure and laugh at him like [[JerkAss assholes]]. Doesn't last long, as Arya grabs a spear and impales the lot of them.

--> It was inconsiderate of you to attack so early in the morning. I was already awake- I rise well before dawn- but you woke Shruikan. He gets rather irritated when he's tired, and when he's irritated, he tends to eat people.

* The scene in the second book in which Saphira gets drunk, an event that, on the surface, is hilarious. You have this wise and noble dragon drinking ale by the barrel and generally partying it up. [[FridgeHorror Think about that]]. You have a dragon. One that is both huge and fully capable of breathing fire. Completely shitfaced. [[SarcasmMode There's no way this]] [[TemptingFate could possibly end badly]].

*** Angela is [[CloudCuckoolander made]] [[BunnyEarsLawyer of]] [[PluckyComicRelief this]].

*** Angela is [[CoudCuckoolander made]] [[BunnyEarsLawyer of]] [[PluckyComicRelief this]].

*** Pretty much every word that comes out of Angela's mouth qualifies.

* "Cheep cheep!"
* At the end of Inheritance, Angela is knitting a hat. Eragon asks her what's [[ShoutOut written]] on it.
--> '''Angela:''' [[Series/DoctorWho Raxacori-]]
** Pretty much every word that comes out of Angela's mouth qualifies.

** The bath scene.

** The bath scene. This troper read it aloud to their sister and couldn't stop laughing for weeks.
