1* In Chapter 11 of Moon Called, a police officer comes up to the van Mercy is borrowing in the middle of the woods to investigate. Mercy just plays everything cool and has Samuel (who is in wolf form) pretend he is a dog. The officer's reaction to the "dog" is funny and Mercy's excuses are funny too.
2 -->''(After the officer asks about Samuel)''\
3'''Mercy:''' I got him from the pound when he was a puppy. My vet says he might be an Irish Wolfhound cross of some sort, maybe with something with a little wolf like a Husky or Samoyed.\
4'''Officer (Muttering):''' Or Siberian Tiger.
5** It much funnier too because Samuel plays a dog a little too well.
6* In Chapter 14 of Moon Called, Mercy breaks into the room where Adam and Jesse are held up in. She tries to revive an unconscious Adam by giving him some coffee she brought. His first but very tired response is hilarious.
7 -->'''Adam:''' Mercy, What the hell did you do to my French Roast?"
8* In Chapter 4 of Iron Kissed, Mercy is forced to show a lawyer she is hiring that she is a coyote shifter. To the lawyer, the sight of Mercy [[MsFanservice stripping naked]] is [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight nothing new]], in fact the lawyer casually asks Mercy if she's a stripper too. What finally gets a reaction out of the lawyer is the sight of Mercy shifting into a coyote, whom the former immediately assumes is a werewolf. Mercy is baffled by this.
9-->'''Mercy:''' She couldn't tell a coyote from a werewolf? That was like looking at a Geo Metro and calling it a Hum-Vee."
10* Mercy's habit of taking bits and pieces off the old car she leaves in her backyard to tick off [[NeatFreak Adam]] including the words "For a good time call [Adam's number]" at his daughter Jessie's suggestion...then the revelation that he [[spoiler: used to run around [[MrFanservice naked]] in his backyard at night]] as a sort of revenge.
11* The description of Warren and Kyle's home whenever Mercy goes to visit. The two male nude statues inside the foyer are always dressed differently with more and more creative costumes to hide their... ''features''.
12* Coyote's way of figuring out how big the [[EldritchAbomination River Devil]] is in ''River Marked''. He [[spoiler: shoves Mercy into said river and uses the length of the tentacles that try to grab her as an estimation tool.]] Doubles as a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome CMoA]], seeing as he completely ignores a [[PapaWolf very ticked off Adam]] while measuring.
13* In ''Frost Burned,'' the fae apparently responded to the US government trying to bomb them by teleporting the incoming bombers to Australia. The incident was embarrassing enough that the US government had to issue a formal apology to the Australian one.
14* When Mercy was a tween in the Marrok's pack, he made her foster mother cry. In revenge, she tricked him into sitting in peanut butter after smearing it on the seat of his new car. The story of how the teenage girl [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu pranked]] [[TheDreaded one of the most powerful beings on the continent]] and not only got away with it, but got him to issue a apology to her mother is considered one of the most hilarious [[RememberWhenYouBlewUpTheSun and awesome]] things that everyone in the supernatural community who knows of Bran has ever heard. [[NeverLiveItDown No matter how much Mercy wishes otherwise]].
15-->'''Asil:''' ''Mi princesa'', I was in ''Spain'' and I heard about the peanut butter. Two decades are nothing, I assure you; we will speak of it in hushed whispers a hundred years from now.
16* Mercy glitter bombed Bran's office on four occasions when she was growing up due to being mad at him. Someone else glitter bombed it on a fifth occasion but Mercy never figured out who it was. Then in a phone call, Bran let slip that the culprit was actually [[NotSoAboveItAll Charles]]. Mercy is so shocked to learn that the scariest werewolf she knows would actually do something so childish that she's momentarily at a loss for words.
17* Perhaps it delves into YMMV, but ''Night Broken'' may as well be dubbed the, "get out my house Christy, Periodt," book and several of Mercy's internal monologues or outright monologues on the subject of her husbands ex wife are hilarious. This includes her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech both over the phone and later afterwards. Honourable mention goes to giving Christy a BadHairDay while personally in the hospital.
18* In ''Silence Fallen'', Adam discovers he had been bitten on the wrists by Guccio without knowing it. What results is Adam, who was known for his GoshDangItToHeck tendency around his wife and daughter, using every swear word he can think of that would make Ben proud.
19-->'''Adam:''' Shit. Shit. Damn it to hell. I’ve been bitten by a fucking vampire.
