2	The chibi pages in general tend to be a good source of this.

7	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5568 This page]] is generally agreed to be one of the funniest in the series' run due to the chibi art style depicting the mighty leaders of Chel'el'sussoloth, the fact that it's all in character, and Quain'tana's "[[{{Mooning}} Moon Age]]" there in the middle. Bonus points if you imagine Phani'nath doing some of the lines in a a falsetto.
8	* And of course: "[[ThereIsOnlyOneBed Hel]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5466 Yes!]]"
9	* [[GenkiGirl Kyo'nne]] seems to be involved in a lot of these. See also [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6542 here]] for her description of human menstruation and her [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6545 comically bad grasp]] of the local human dialect.
10	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6580 Eat Cake!]]
11	* The alternate ending to the "Rescue Faen" arc in the last row of panels for one chibi page deserves a mention. [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6629 Evil Empress Faen FTW! ]]
12	* Despite being a dramatic scene, the page where Syphile [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5967 jumps out to attack Quain'tana while shouting a challenge]] is hilarious because of the TooDumbToLive factor and Quain'tana's OhNoNotAgain face. The forum reaction to this page was universal {{facepalm}}.
13	** And then one reader suggested that this page happened because [[CriticalFailure she rolled a 1 on her stealth check]].
14	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7775 This]] page quickly became a fan favorite because of the sheer awkward hilarity of Diva'ratrika, who is their ''grandmother'', Chrys'tel and Nau'kheol meeting for the first time, and the fact that it's the conclusion to a BrickJoke that was first introduced ''back in chapter 7''.
15	** It's [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10456 sequel of sorts]] in chapter 47 is just as hilarious, with Chrys' utter consternation at seeing a random Vloz'ress {{Mook}} wearing her mother's old dress, which was literally pulled out of the garbage.
16	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=164 "Please let the tiger go."]] Especially since in the background of the fifth panel you can see Ariel "sneaking" away to get close to it with a cat smile.
17	* Even though it comes in the middle of a TearJerker, Demon!Naal has a moment of this, mainly her [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7816 finger poke of doom to Kiel]], which many fans read as an exasperated "Just get out of here already!"
18	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7103 This page]] actually confirms a much earlier non canon chibi page, where Kel'Noz claims he and Mel used to crossdress and switch places when they were kids.
19	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8852 This exchange]]:
20	-->'''Fame'nidea:''' How did you get up there?\
21	'''Kiel:''' With difficulty
22	* Kiel's [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8878 response]] to Khaless' BreakingSpeech, and her demon pals [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8887 respond in turn]] two pages later (top right panel).
23	* The Vloz'ress scourge's reaction to realizing [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8663 Ariel is about to give him]] DeathFromAbove is nearly word-for-word OhNoNotAgain.
24	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8978 This page]], especially how Jak'iaah mostly just looks annoyed while the rest of the boys are [[OhCrap freaking out]] (save Sen'gil, whose face is basically the :/ emoticon).
25	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8990 This Sharen]] seems to think she could take Quain in a fight. The entire forum basically laughed their asses off at this. Maybe she should ask the last person who tried that how it went-- OhWait, that's right, she can't, since she's dead.
26	* After several straight pages of [[WhamEpisode wham]], [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6854 this page]] was a much needed change of pace and funny as hell to boot.
27	* The [[WordOfGod author's description]] of [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9011 page 36]] of chapter 40:
28	--> Beating on Faen is turning to be a national sport. One that Durlyn disapproves strongly. Meanwhile Shinae is pushing her own national sport: everyone getting a good beating. It's all boil down to violence though, the root of all drowish sports.
29	* The fates of several of the cameos in chapter 40 [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9056 as summed up on the end of chapter page]]. Of special note is Ksava, who turned out to be NotQuiteDead and scared the hell out of some hungry commoners who were trying to eat her, and Sengil, who suffered [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim an arrow to the knee]].
30	* When Nihi'liir was decapitated, while the act itself was more awesome then funny, the [[http://forums.drowtales.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17196 forums couldn't resist saying several puns that will make you laugh]]. There are more as you go through the posts. It really got going on [[http://forums.drowtales.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17196&start=135 page 10]].
31	* In Chapter 41, yet another little [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9137 Vloz'ress moment with Kiel.]]
32	--> '''Kiel:''' ''[cheerfully]'' With a pilot like this, we're bound to explode.\
33	'''Pilot:''' [[StuffBlowingUp Big boom!]]\
34	'''Kiel:''' Try to get us there first, you know, before breaking everything.\
35	'''Pilot:''' ''[[[LaughingMad insane laughter]]]''\
36	'''Kiel:''' I knew I could count on ya. ''[to audience]'' Expendable assistant, he said. No shit.
37	* A [[http://www.drowtales.com/~daydream/wallpapers.php?sid=9108 wallpaper]] of Kiel and Chiri swapping clothes, due to the fact that Kiel is clearly enjoying the situation while Chiri is quite obviously not.
38	** It gets even better with [[http://www.drowtales.com/~daydream/wallpapers.php?sid=9139 Kyo'nne and Ariel]].
39	* Kiel discovers that EveryoneIsArmed in Chel [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9232 the hard way]].
40	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9245 Having had her]] death faked by Chrys and Nau, Kiel shows she still has her "[[AbhorrentAdmirer priorities]]" sorted.
41	-->'''Kiel:''' I need some warm princely arms to help me up.\
42	'''Nau:''' (facepalming) Not again.\
43	'''Kiel:''' And some [[KissOfLife sweet mouth to mouth to revive me]]. If the prince is busy. I'll take a princess.\
44	'''Chrys:''' (also facepalming) Brother, I say we toss the corpse in the lake and forget about her.\
45	'''Nau:''' (still facepalming) Agreed.
46	* Chrys'tel and Kiel's [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9249 hilariously awkward conversation]] after she kills a Diva body double.
47	-->'''Chrys'tel:''' You killed my grandmother?
48	-->'''Kiel:''' ''Pretend'' grandmother!
49	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9262 Baliir's preferred metaphor for the oppression of the clans.]]
50	* Somewhat meta, but the [[http://forums.drowtales.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17540&p=763194#p763190 in-character commentary]] from the character's creator when Cas'nihlus [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9382 is being tortured]]. A textbook example of TooKinkyToTorture.
51	-->There are a million worse things you could be doing to me other then just setting my foot on fire. No no no, get the one with the hooked end on it, there you go. Sharess you're terrible at this, no wonder you didn't make it into the Order of Salvation.
52	** And that's not even touching what actually happens on page, which is that Cas starts singing one of Kyo'nne's songs [[BlackComedy as they're burning his feet]].
53	** Taken to its [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9404 logical conclusion]] in one of the chibi pages.
54	* Considering that chapter 42 in general is a very dark chapter the chibi pages are absolutely hilarious.
55	** Merri'linn [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9396 becomes the new holy mother]] by use of empathic brainwashing (including passing along her VerbalTic to the masses) and Chiri's [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere response]].
56	** TheCoronerDothProtestTooMuch twice over on [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9398 this one]] with Shimi'lande's body's epic trollface.
57	* Ariel's reaction to Faen kissing her is to [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9469 stumble around in a daze]] for over a page, not noticing when [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9470 someone hands her a piece of meat]] until she's already left the room.
58	* The twins Din and Perci are [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9478 very touchy feely]]. What makes this darkly hilarious is that they're unknowingly doing this to their grandmother, who's clearly mortified.
59	* When finding out that Nau is being offered up to 'make babies of Sharen linage' he makes a flustered lie that he's already taken by Kiel. His face in [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive/20130918c44p013_KSRFsyFyze.jpg general.]]
60	** Later, Chrys wonders just what the hell happened to him. [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9770 The last panel]] is best summed up by his single line.
61	* The reaction of Larvova's scourges when they realize they need to deal with ''Kharla'': [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere "Good luck,]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9730 boss!"]] Truly, Vloz'ress loyalty is a sight to behold.
62	* Chapter 45 [[http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9827 opens]] with Ariel moaning in deep pleasure, clutching her bedsheets. Die'tra, standing outside, grins in approval. Scrolling down the page, though, reveals that Faen is...
63	--> '''Die'tra''': ''[disbelievingly]'' [[InnocentInnuendo Combing hair]]?!
64	** On the same page, Faen is wearing socks with little bear heads on them. Looks like Die'tra's nickname stuck.
65	* Also in Chapter 45, [[http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9830 Chiri]] can't figure out how to use the colony house's non-manatech oven. Kau tells her it uses fire. So Chiri ''[[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill uses]]'' [[PlayingWithFire fire]], the [[KillItWithFire only way she knows how]].
66	** [[http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9831 And then]], there's the end results of her [[LethalChef attempt to cook]]. [[EpicFail She forgot to gut the bird and remove its feathers]]. Everybody else's reactions ranged from amused to appalled.
67	*** And then there is Ariel, who thinks it smells good.
68	* The author has recently started putting up preview images of the new pages with fake dialog. [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/20140304c45p037.png Some of them]] are great.
69	* Vanir warrior Grey has the upper hand in a fight with Sabryne. [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9989 Then...]]
70	--> '''Sara''': Hey! Yes you. The whitey. [''Raises mana cannon, wearing a huge CheshireCatGrin''] HIIII!
71	--> [''Grey just barely has the time for an OhCrap before being ignominiously launched into the lake'']
72	** Then the forum got hold of it and [[http://i.imgur.com/ZVRwNXF.jpg gave her an appropriate]] [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 accessory]].
73	* This exchange between [[http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10038 Sara and Chrys'tel]]:
74	--> '''Sara''': [[AccidentalInnuendo I have something for you inside my chestplate.]]\
75	'''Chrys''': Sara... I am in a relationship with your brother.\
76	'''Sara''': That's not what I- Goddesses, I'm not that flirty, am I?\
77	'''Chrys''': Well, a bit, yes.
78	* Two old enemies meet once again... only to find that their past vendetta’s have [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10088 lost their impact over time.]]
79	** On the same page, Nau not so subtly checking out Ariel's posterior and the last panel in general to that.
80	*** And on the next page, the hilarious consequences of that action.
81	** Also of note is Kyo's epic face palm.
82	** On the previous page, Ariel mistaking Nau as ''his little brother''!
83	* Kiel and Fame [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10100 try to distract a guard so they can free An'jin]], emphasis on "try" since he subverts TheGuardsMustBeCrazy and ignores their first couple of attempts. So they resort to [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10102 throwing Kuso]] (whose modesty is only barely preserved by [[HandOrObjectUnderwear his helmet]]) at him.
84	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10128 The Sarghress family]] {{facepalm}} strikes again!
85	* [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10310 Read the Cast and Cameo sections at the bottom of this comic page.]]
86	* You aren't fooling ''anyone'' with [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10332 that smile]], Snadhya.
87	** And if you look closely [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Zhor doesn't even look shocked]], unlike Mel (and, judging by the forums, the readers).
88	* Kiel [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10429 attempts]] to [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10429 bully a chef into giving them food]] using the threat of the turtle summon crushing the place. The chef, like any jaded service worker, doesn't bat an eye and just tells her to get back in line.
89	** Followed immediately by this exchange:
90	--->'''Kiel''': Ariel!!\
91	'''Ariel''': What?\
92	'''Kiel''': I hate your clan!\
93	'''Ariel''': ...[[NoYou I hate your clan too]].
94	** Even better in that Ariel's "..." implies [[LameComeback she had to think about that one]], with the lack of an exclamation point only emphasizing it further.
95	* Now that Ariel's PrehensileHair has become a fully-realized ability, one of [[AudienceSurrogate Kiel's demons]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10433 starts speculating]] about the possibility of [[PowerPerversionPotential tentacle sex]]. A ''mortified'' Ariel promptly reforms her hair into a bob cut.
96	* Zala tells Quain'tana she can knock it off with the looming, and Quain'tana, clearly uncomfortable, [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10436 takes a seat]] and then pours the liquor she was offered on the ground as deliberate TakeThat, to which Zala laments that with all that's going on no one knows when they'll see such quality hooch again.
97	* Baliir's attempt at revolutionary politics in Chel is noble at heart, but fails to account for one rather important detail: [[http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10479 the Vloz'ress are, quite simply, insane.]]
98	* When the Vloz'rez insurgents open their nether gate in their throne room, all hell breaks loose; a nether demon ''god'' emerges from the portal, the loyalist Vloz arrive and attack, people are yelling, fighting, and fleeing, while the EldritchAbomination continues to grow larger by the second. All [[TheDreaded Kharla]] does during the chaos is [[FluffyTheTerrible admire how "cute" the Demon God is.]]
99	* The [[TheDreaded infamous, nigh unstoppable]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Kharla]] is finally vanquished in chapter 47. But was she undone by an [[TheAlliance coalition of legendary clan leaders]], or the [[OneWomanArmy badass hero protagonists?]] No. She was nommed from behind by a peckish Naal who was just looking for a snack. Although it quickly turns tragic, [[http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10665 Kiel’s expression in the last panel]] is probably the most sincere “WTF!?” face throughout the series.
100	** It’s also amusing that Kharla (Who is now, for all intents and purposes, a ''God'') [[FailedASpotCheck somehow failed to notice a 1,000 lbs Glutton demon ambling up behind her.]]
101	* Near the end of chapter 47, [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10689 when the Vloz-rez fortress has collapsed into the rift and Kar'liir is left hovering]] despondently [[LifesWorkRuined over his life's work]], he spies Ni'bai (''who was responsible for the whole mess'') clinging desperately to the side of the rift and screaming for help. [[SaveTheVillain Kar'liir]] ''[[SaveTheVillain could]]'' [[SaveTheVillain have saved her...]] but instead chooses to [[KarmicDeath let her fall to her death while he gets the heck out of dodge]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking finds a ham sandwich]]. As Kern points out in the forum, [[http://forums.drowtales.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18736 "He chose ham. Ham sandwich is much better than her life."]]
102	** He even flips her the bird with one of his prosthetic arms as he floats away.
103	--->'''Kar'liir:''' [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere I'm done. I'm fucking done with this clan. This city. I'm gonna go far, far away.]] And have a sandwich. ''With ham.''
104	* Sharen warriors enthusiastically move in to seize Sarv'swati. [[http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10705 Sarv shows them why that's a pretty bad idea.]]
105	* The [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10837 entire sequence]] of Ariel and Faen visiting Mel'arnach's kids goes hilariously wrong very quickly, with the kids acting up and attacking the "Kraken" Ariel making her lose her temper, Faen's NotSoAboveItAll moment when they tell her her butt is too big to fit behind their barricade, and then when the baby [[PottyFailure does what babies do best]] Ariel panics and tries to hand her off to Faen who ran to get a towel... except [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10852 she actually hands her]] to ''Quain'tana'', whose face is basically the :[ emoticon.
106	** Then, crossing over with SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments, the [[http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10856 sight]] of Ariel's [[PrehensileHair ponytail]] ''wagging'' upon receiving an approving smile from Quain.
107	** This moment gets a hilarious callback when [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=11374 Faen uses the supposedly leaking baby]] to distract Zith long enough for Ariel to get inside and see what's up with Quain.
108	* While at Vaelia's home, Ariel and Faen (at Vaelia's suggestion) finally buckle down to give Pup and Poopy Baby real names. They go through several, uh, less-than-creative names (with Pup turning them all down), including '''Gha,' mimicing one of the baby's sounds!'' Finally, Vaelia asks Pup what name he wants, and when he comes up with the equally-funny 'Pulaaah,' [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=11775 Vaelia suggests Pelan, which he instantly and exuberantly agrees to.]]
109	* As an assassin is being chased from Sil'lice's tower, she discovers that the only lift back to the ground is descending without her. With her pursuers closing in, she makes an elegant, dignified leap of faith... only to [[BlackComedy end up like a bug on a windshield]] in a moment straight out of [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner Loony Toons]].
110	** The dutiful elevator then delivers the resulting mess down to Kiel, Nau, and Naal who were psyching themselves up for an ambush.
111	--->'''Nau:''' What if they [[WouldHurtAChild have our child]]?\
112	'''Kiel:''' We kill them harder! ''(The former assassin arrives)'' DAAAAAMN! That's...\
113	'''Nau:''' I see bones.\
114	'''Naal:''' The child got the assassin!
115	** To crown it all, the assassin was actually a summon, who arrogantly proclaimed that she was immortal. Once her spirit rises from her mangled body, Kiel shows just how wrong she is; the assassin barely has time for an OhCrap expression before Kiel's demon princes swarm and devour her.
