History Funny / TheBelgariad

* When the group gets captured... again, Silk picks the locks of the jail cells, complaining about how it's the rust's fault it's taking such a long time. Then, in a moment of necessity, Belgarath turns around and opens a lock with magic

* The night of Garion and Ce'Nedra's wedding, long after the celebration has ended, Belgarath wanders into the throne room and starts chatting with the Orb. He eventually gets annoyed with the Orb not paying attention to him and demands to know what it's focused on. The Orb proceeds to ''start blushing'', which only gets worse as Belgarath looks in the [[ThePeepingTom direction of the royal bedroom as he catches on]].

* Silk has been at the Market and basically ripping off everyone there. Despite making an extraordinary profit, he is moody and irritated because he can't tell who "won" in a trade for a perfume bottle that he doesn't know the value of. He takes it anyway because he didn't want the merchant to know he doesn't know its value. To solve the dilemma, he gives the bottle to Polgara who calls it a "princely gift". Silk couldn't figure out if she was serious or not and stomps away, muttering about Rivans and their deceptiveness.

** If anything, he gets worse in the sequel series, suggesting that since the BigGuy [[FiveManBand Band]] isn't allowed - by the dictates of Fate - to directly help the prophesied heroes, they should instead help by distracting their potential enemies. And by this, he means, "go to Mallorea and take on the ''entire Malloreon army''". Barak, the OnlySaneMan of the group, just puts his head down on the table and cries.

* The first royal decree of King Fundor the Magnificent: "I prithee, good sirs, have a care for thine finery. I have just manured the field you are kneeling in."
* Polgara attempting to scare Sadi into submission. Sadi, however, is stoned out of his mind and thinks her projection is "pretty”.

* Poledra didnt really seem to understand that Belgarath was really a human in wolf form when they first met, and kept insisting him transforming back to his real form was just a personal quirk of his. She kept thinking he was really a wolf until she herself learned to transform.
* There's an amusing moment after Zakath joins the party in the 'Mallorean'. After Garion casually mentions having to be careful with the Orb lest it rewrite the stars, [[RealityWarper it enthusiastically tries to do just that]], forcing Garion drop his conversation with Zakath to restrain it. Zakath's reaction is pure gold.

--> *[[BeatPanel pause as Zakath considers that]]

** At the end of "The Mallorean," Garion gets his own back by saying [[RunningGag "Why me?"]] in the most plaintive voice possible one last time, which the Prophecy admits was ActuallyPrettyFunny.

** The funniest bit for this troper being when he 'misses' the floor when casting his gauntlet in challenge and 'accidentally' hits an offensive young baron in the face.

* Every instance of a character, particularly Barak, telling Mandorallen that he REALLY needs to sort out his [[UnfortunateName nickname]] of "The Bastard of Vo Mandor" in ''The Belgariad'' ALWAYS manages to crack you up.

* In the ''Malloreon'', Garion has matured and learned a bit more about the style of sorcery. Then he goes and creates a door by saying the mystical Word "Door". Much to Beldin's horror.

* Just one week passed between [[GeniusDitz Lelldorin's]] summons to Riva and him actually getting there. His explanation to Garion of [[DisasterDominoes what happened during that week]] (mistaking his Mimbrate girlfriend's claims that she'd "die if he left her alone" as NotHyperbole and [[{{Elopement}} fleeing the country with her]], angering her Mimbrate family, wounding some of her brother's knights -''and'' her brother, [[AltarTheSpeed deciding to marry her]] "just so she [[DoubleStandard wouldn't be travelling alone with a man]]", running through his cousin's leg "just a bit" when he oppossed the wedding, ''punching the priest in the face'' for the same, getting branded as an outlaw by Asturs, Mimbrates ''and'' priests...) is one of the series' funnier moments, reaching Crowning status halfway through with "the ''priest'' had it coming, though..." Considering that Arendia was a homage to English/French Romance (in the traditional sense), it's no surprise that he managed that in only a week. It both plays straight and mocks it at the same time.

* Queen Layla's is shared with the Sendarian royal children when they all work together to reduce the Tolnedran Ambassador to tears of frustration as he tries to persuade her to allow the Tolnedrans to take over the "chore" of administering the main port of the country. He assumes that since she's a woman, she's stupid, so she puts on an astonishing imitation of {{The Ditz}}. Then two of the children interrupt with an argument about a string of beads, and the youngest prince caps it off with a jam-smeared face -- that Layla wipes clean with the treaty.

* Just one week passed between [[GeniusDitz Lelldorin's]] summons to Riva and him actually getting there. His explanation to Garion of [[DisasterDominoes what happened during that week]] (mistaking his Mimbrate girlfriend's claims that she'd "die if he left her alone" as NotHyperbole and [[Elopement fleeing the country with her]], angering her Mimbrate family, wounding some of her brother's knights -''and'' her brother, [[AltarTheSpeed deciding to marry her]] "just so she [[DoubleStandard wouldn't be travelling alone with a man]]", running through his cousin's leg "just a bit" when he oppossed the wedding, ''punching the priest in the face'' for the same, getting branded as an outlaw by Asturs, Mimbrates ''and'' priests...) is one of the series' funnier moments, reaching Crowning status halfway through with "the ''priest'' had it coming, though..."

His explanation to Garion of [[DisasterDominoes what happened during that week]] (mistaking his Mimbrate girlfriend's claims that she'd "die if he left her alone" as NotHyperbole and fleeing the country with her, angering her Mimbrate family, wounding some of her father's knights -''and'' her father, deciding to marry her "just so she [[DoubleStandard wouldn't be travelling alone with a man]]", running through his cousin's leg "just a bit" when he oppossed the wedding, ''punching the priest in the face'' for the same, getting branded as an outlaw by Asturs, Mimbrates ''and'' priests...) is one of the series' funnier moments, reaching Crowning status halfway through with "the ''priest'' had it coming, though..."

* Mandorallen manages one that lasts for roughly 2 pages in the twenty-seventh chapter of ''The Seeress of Kell'', the funniest bit for this troper being when he 'misses' the floor when casting his gauntlet in challenge and 'accidentally' hits an offensive young baron in the face.
** Said Baron probably used his [[EmbarrassingNickname 'the Bastard of Vo Mandor']].

* Near the end of ''The Malloreon'', a Mimbrate aristocrat insults Lelldorin (of Asturia, the most bitter enemy of Mimbre), who is also the friend of Mandorallen (also a Mimbrate). Mandorallen's response qualifies for a crowning moment of Awesome as well as Funny:

* Also, there's exactly one week between [[GeniusDitz Lelldorin's]] summons to Riva and him actually getting there. His explanation of what happened during that week (he fled the country with his Mimbrate girlfriend-turned-wife) to Garion is one of the series' funnier moments, reaching Crowning status halfway through with "the ''priest'' had it coming, though..." Considering that Arendia was a homage to English/French Romance (in the traditional sense), it's no surprise that he managed that in only a week.

-->'''Belgarath:''' (''upon reaching the site of the fray'') Where is he?\\
'''Silk:''' Last I saw... trying to learn to fly. (''a loud crash of a body hitting rocks far, far below'') He wasn't doing it very well.\\
'''Belgarath:''' Maybe it'll come to him in time.\\
'''Silk:''' He doesn't really have all that much time (''a second and final impact echoes from below'') Does bouncing count?\\
'''Belgarath:''' I don't think so.\\
'''Silk:''' Then I'd say he didn't learn in time (''starts to walk away, staring up at the stars'') What an absolutely beautiful night!

** After the fifth or sixth time a Perivoran knight is hurled from his saddle without the lance even chipping, the remaining competitors gather to discuss matters. "And then, en masse, they yielded."
