* When Roland-as-Detta goes back through the second door, which happens to be located in a Macy's changing room, the security guards fling open the door to find it empty. They open the other one to find a "very white and very definitely not crippled" woman changing, who screams for them to GetOut. The punchline? "At Macy's, the customer was always right," followed by one of the security guards expressing that he feels "extremely confused".

** [[spoiler: Roland's insane crime spree in Jack Mort's body. Highlights include: Tricking two cops into disarming the gun store's owner, then knocking their heads together and stealing their guns and then ''actually paying for'' some ammo for his revolvers (he needed a permit), stealing $60 worth of anibiotics from a pharmacy, then giving the owner a $6500 dollar watch as payment, and jumping in front of a train while wearing (what looks to him like) women's underwear and on fire after getting [[GroinAttack his nads crushed]] by boxes of bullets. The subsequent police investigation, discovering that the man behind all this had also been a practicing serial killer for years could be a novel all on its own.]]

* GrowingTheBeard: There's no such thing as consensus among the Dark Tower's famously fractious fanbase, but there is broad agreement that ''Drawing of the Three'' represents the book where the series went from "potentially intriguing" to utterly fascinating. It expands the world of the series, begins the process of assembling Roland's ka-tet and starts establishing Roland as an actual character instead of merely a cypher and unholy killing machine.

** Roland's reaction to drinking Pepsi for the first time. To top it off he starts to think about how valuable sugar is in his world, and wonders if the packets of Cocaine that Eddie was smuggling are actually sugar. His excitement dies down when he realizes that if they would have put that much sugar in a cheap drink like Pepsi, there would be no need to smuggle it.
