Line #5 Funny/TheColourOfMagic


1	!!The novel
2	* Only two pages in and the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' series immediately {{establish\|ingSeriesMoment}}es what it's going to be full of: semi-relevant anecdotes (in this case, a discussion on the World Turtle A'Tuin) with a SoBadItsGood {{pun}}ny joke at the end (the big "bang" theory).
3	* Rincewind trying to swear at Twoflower in Trobian, which doesn't really have profanities:
4	--> You little ''[such a one who, while wearing a copper nose ring, stands in the bath atop Mt. Raruaruaha during a thunderstorm and shouts that the goddess of lightning has the face of a diseased uloruaha root]''!!
5	* Rincewind working out the meaning of several words Twoflower uses, like "tourist":
6	--> Twoflower was a tourist, the first ever seen on the Discworld. Tourist, Rincewind had decided, meant "idiot".
7	* "Some pirates achieved immortality by grand deeds of cruelty or derring-do. Some achieved immortality by amassing great amounts of wealth. But the Captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying."
8	* The competing theories about the nature of the universe: the Steady Gait (as opposed to our world's Steady State theory of Fred Hoyle) and the Big Bang hypothesis - which, as it involves turtles mating, is the ''other'' meaning of 'bang'...
9	* The following exchange:
10	--> '''Krullian woman:''' My name is immaterial.
11	--> '''Rincewind:''' That's a pretty name.

13	!!The 2008 TV film
14	* Rincewind attempting suicide by jumping off the docks is sad an all, but it immediately becomes funny when he's saved by a rising platform... And then it becomes hilarious when we suddenly cut to '''Death''' nearby who grumbles at the man's survival.
15	-->[[AC:Death: ...Disappointing.]]
16	* When Rincewind and Twoflower are meeting for the first time they are discussing the Counterweight Continent.
17	-->'''Rincewind''': But the legend says it's made of gold.
18	-->'''Twoflower''': Well, it's not made of gold. Gold is just a really common metal there.
19	--> '''Rincewind''': You might like to keep that to ourselves.
20	-->''(Rincewind turns around and sees Broadman several inches away from his face)''
21	* Rincewind is trying to drag Twoflower out of Death's house. Then we get this exchange:
22	-->'''Twoflower''': Amazing! I've never been at Death's door before!
23	-->''([[LamePunReaction Rincewind punches him across the face]])''
24	** When they manage to escape Death's house.
25	--->[[AC: Death: [[DeathIsCheap I should just install a revolving door...]]]]
26	* Rincewind flipping off Broadman and Blind Hugh after succeeding in communicating with Twoflower.
27	* In a deleted scene, Trymon is shown hiring Herenna to bring back Rincewind. Herenna asks if Rincewind is like all wizards, long-robed smokers. Trymon states the contrary: Rincewind is scruffy, incompetent and can't even spell the word "wizard". Herenna has a hilarious look of disbelief on the last remark.
28	* From the HilariousOuttakes:
29	** David and Sean, tied together, try to stand up... and the rope breaks.
30	** Lord Vetinari getting Rincewind's name wrong.
31	** Rincewind tries to bail on Twoflower, but forgets his hat.
32	** David drawling, "Yes, you try it, love, I've already sorted a girl out."
33	* In another deleted scene, Rincewind uses reverse psychology to get Twoflower to come to Ankh-Morpork with him and can't help but insult Twoflower while doing so.
34	-->'''Rincewind''': Anyway, following me only guarantees the risk of death. Or was it following ''you''? I can't remember.
