* When Tammo and Russa first set out, he decides to respond to Russa pushing him onward by being cheeky about it. Russa finally gets the last word when Tammo trips and rolls down a hill, landing unceremoniously in a ditch and prompting her to snark that he's not supposed to be resting until after they reach a good campsite.



* Song's grandma, Ellayo, is fiercer than just about anyone in the book. It's to the point that when she threatens to tan the tail of her grown son, he backs down because she will seriously do it.

to:

* At one point, Florian checks himself into the infirmary, trying to pass it off as a "war wound". Then some shrews show up with a broken salad fork, and it becomes abundantly clear that what ''actually'' happened was that Florian sat on it. [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten He doesn't live it down for the rest of the book.]]
* Song's grandma, Ellayo, is fiercer than just about anyone in the book. It's to the point that when she threatens to tan the tail of her grown son, son (who, by the way, has a reputation for being a ''very'' skilled warrior), he backs down because she will seriously do it.

* After Nagru's horde rats fish her out of Castle Floret's moat, he [[{{Troll}} can't resist shoving]] Silvamord back in while she's bent double.
** Also Silvamord's [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike first act]] after getting back on dry land is to start pummelling a rat who [[TapOnTheHead hit her over the head]] with a pike he was trying to fish her out of the moat with.
-->'''Silvamord''': I said ''save'' me, you addle-brained toad, [[SurroundedByIdiots not brain me]]!

* Having just captured the Painted Ones, the hares shout out recipes for cooking one. When others ask for some, Rockjaw Grang responds that he's been doing all the carrying so this one is his and the others should get their own; this one's going in a hotpot. After Major Perigord remarks that they are not really going to eat the rat, Rockjaw simply says, "spoilsport!".

* Any scene with Basil Stag Hare.
* As well as just about any scene with the [[ChummyCommies Guosim]].



* Sela and Fangburn tell BlatantLies to Cluny in an attempt to explain why Redtooth is missing - he actually got killed by Constance, they claim he fell in a random swamp. Fangburn is so used to agreeing with everything his boss says that this happens:
-->'''Cluny''': [[SarcasmMode And then I suppose three little pigs with wings flew down and gave you a toffee apple each?]]
-->'''Fangburn''': Yes. Er, I mean, what was that, Chief?
-->(Sela kicks him.)

[[AC:Mossflower]]
* Martin's OddFriendship with Gonff, self-proclaimed Prince of Mousethieves.
* The antics of Ferdy and Coggs, the two young hedgehogs.
* The bumbling antics of Tsarmina's crew, also Tsarmina herself when she isn't just completely off her rocker. She also gets some good lines, such as "... young ones in a special prison all of their own, where they can be heard but not seen by their parents. Haha, I must remember that: heard but not seen."
* When Martin and Bella are searching Brockhall for a shield to turn, one of the two possibilities is Brockhall's door knocker. Bella takes it and tries to turn it... and promptly breaks the knocker.
* Tense as it is, there's something funny in Mask being unmasked when a spiteful captain stomps on his false tail, causing it to fall off.
* At one point, Tsarmina is venting about [[SurroundedByIdiots how useless and stupid most of her minions are]], leading to this (paraphrased) exchange:
--> '''Tsarmina:''' Enough with that! All I ever hear is "yes, milady" or "no, milady"...\\
'''[[YesMan Brogg:]]''' Yes, milady-\\
'''Tsarmina:''' SHUT UP!
* When Martin and his party pull up to Mossflower Woods in a stolen pirate ship and are hailed by Bella, Dinny greets them by saying that someone on board (read: Gonff) is lovesick for someone named "Columbine." As such, the very first creature from the ship that the woodlanders see is Dinny, on account of him getting thrown overboard by Gonff.

[[AC:The Legend of Luke]]
* Gonff befriends a goshawk by using his old Prince of Mousethieves shtick. The goshawk, Krar Woodwatcher, honestly believes Gonff is a prince and cannot wait to serve him.
* Beauregard "Beau" Fethringsol Cosfortingham trying to remember his name. He finds it hard, due to his memory going from old age, and winds up calling himself Beauregard Fethringclair Confounditall.
* Chugger the squirrelbabe adopts the four old creatures from the ''Arfship'' as his "ole granpas". Trimp tells him to stop being so rude, but they respond that he can call them blather-faced bloaters just so long as he keeps feeding them.
* Vurg and Beau attempt to build a raft. They end up with a complete mess...
-->"Oh, splendid, absojollylutely spiffin'! All she needs is a jib boom, spanker, top royal gallants an' mizzen shrouds!"
-->Vurg peered at him questioningly. "D'you know wot yore talkin' about?"
-->Beau leaned against the raft. It collapsed. "No, d'you?"



[[AC:Salamandastron]]
* "Mercy, yer honour. [[CaptainObvious That stuff's water - it's all wet!"]]
** Later on, the two stoats cheer after Sister Nasturtium's song about Martin, and then get confused when they realise they're cheering even though they don't know who Martin is.
*** Dingeye and Thura in general. Their Brummie accents alone are priceless. Jacques' PunchClockVillain [[BumblingHenchmenDuo duos]] provide some of the most hilarious moments in the whole series.

[[AC:Martin the Warrior]]
* Scenes with Clogg are generally humorous.
* Any argument between Fleabane and Rotnose.



-->'''Dandin:''' Prob'ly mint tea as well, icy cold, brewed since dawn, clear and fragrant, just right for sipping on a hot day like... ''(Mariel hits him over the head with her haversack)'' Yowch! \\

** When in a boasting challenge against Bucko, Bucko starts with a tirade listing his name and accomplishments. Dotti congratulates him on knowing his own name like a big boy. Further along, as the crowd is laughing it's noted that some laughs sound suspiciously hare-like.
* Lord Brocktree and Dotti's interactions. A particularly nice one is when she shares her aunt's introduction letter with him. She thinks he's upset at how rude it is, he's trying not to cry with laughter.

* The loss of Plugg's tail and everything rising from it, particularly when after going to extreme lengths to hide the fact that it got cut off he rips it off and waves it around himself when he gets overexcited.

* Meta: the sheer irony of the Guosim shrews being given [[DirtyCommunists faux-Russian]] accents in this portrayal.
* Vitch is already decidedly the ButtMonkey of Slagar's crew and of ''Mattimeo'' in general, but the fact that Tim Curry saying his name quickly can very easily be misheard as [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch something else entirely]] just adds a whole other layer.
* Also a TearJerker moment, but the fact that the Redwaller kids' collective reaction to getting scammed by Scurl is to FacePalm.

* The scene where [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Ripfang and Doomeye]] try to break into the chamber where [[BigBad Ungatt Trunn]] is keeping the hares locked up. It could easily be pure NightmareFuel, considering that what the two rats want to do after they've broken in is ''eat'' the hares, but they're so totally stupid and incompetent it's one of the funniest scenes in the book.
