1* "Hey, Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are. Say 'Nevermore'."
2--> '''Raven:''' [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore Fuck you]].
3* When Shadow meets Anansi:
4--> '''Anansi:''' Where ''were'' you the day God was handin' out brains, boy?\
5'''Shadow:''' [[TakeThat Someone was telling a story about tigers' balls]] and I had to stop and hear how it ended.
6* Wednesday is not amused by Nancy's stories (the aforementioned Tiger balls story, which is funny in itself) and says Anansi promised to leave the talking to him.
7--> '''Anansi:''' You call that a story? That was nothing. I haven't even cleared my throat!
8* Hinzelmann advises Shadow to get a video rental card, to which Shadow declines.
9--> It would make things awkward between then were Shadow to admit that television had made him uncomfortable ever since it had started to talk to him.
10* Mad Sweeney, while in Cairo, challenging Shadow to guess how he can pick the golden coins out of seemingly thin air. At a certain point he laments how the "Great and famous Mad Sweeney" is left around "a dog, a bird and a moron".
11* Czernobog amiably reminds Shadow, by tapping him in the forehead, that when the war will be over, he'll bean him with a hammer. Shadow, in the same tone, responds "Yes, but if you do that again, I'll break that finger".
12* Shadow answers his ringing phone with a simple "Yeah?", prompting Wednesday to reprimand him over his manners. Shadow replies that once he actually gets the phone ''connected'', he'll make sure to be more polite.
13* Creator/NeilGaiman, Creator/PattonOswalt, and Creator/ZeldaWilliams (Creator/RobinWilliams' daughter) do a dramatic reading of the part with Bilquis in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIpdqwszQOg Chapter One]]
14* Sam Crow telling Mr Town and Mr Road to get into Mister Car and drive off.
15** Not to mention her toying with them through the entire conversation. Given that most Americans are intimidated by the very idea of the Spookshow, it's pretty telling of her overall character that she ''isn't'':
16-->'''Mr. Town''': Now, Miz Crow--
17-->'''Sam:''' It's Miz ''Black Crow''. Not Miz ''Crow''. My friends call me Sam, though.
18-->'''Mr. Town''': Okay, Sam.
19-->'''Sam:''' [[{{Troll}} But not you. You can call me Miz Black Crow.]]
20%%* Most of Horus' spacey lines.
21* The {{punny name}} that is Loki's alias is pretty funny.
22* When discussing holy places, Shadow tries to mock Wednesday's explanations by pointing out Wednesday could have easily described Orlando's Disney World.
23** Wednesday ''almost'' agrees with Shadow's assessment, but notes that whatever it is powering Disney World is "bent and twisted" into something darker, and as a God he'd much rather find worship and power in more innocent theme parks.
