2----
3* Dolorous Edd's hilariously understated deadpan reaction to [[spoiler: the Wall collapsing.]]
4--> ''"Lads. Ladies. It's been good to know you all. And may I take this moment to apologize. If I wasn't here, none of this would have happened."''
5* BlackComedy example: Davos Seaworth is concerned over the continued presence of Freys in White Harbor because they're unaware that not only is he alive, but that he has Rickon Stark with him. So he tells Wylis Manderly, who has already crushed the Lannister fleet that was sent to help the Boltons, about this and he says:
6-->Davos: ''"My lord of Manderly, the Freys still in White Harbor –"''
7-->Wylis: ''"Will trouble us no longer,"'' Ser Wylis answered composedly. ''"They were told they were invited to supper, which indeed they were. It lacked something of the elegance of my father's pies, but [[KarmicDeath my lord of Stark's direwolf did not appear to mind.]]"''
8* The opening lines of Tyrion's first chapter when arriving to Meereen, which could be read as a TakeThat to the almost universally-loathed Meereen StoryArc in ''A Dance With Dragons''
9-->''Meereen was the most putrid, festering shitpile of a city that Tyrion Lannister had ever set stunted foot in, and considering that it was up against King's Landing as competition, that was a lofty crown. Once upon a benighted time, he might have thought that this was where whores went – that they'd have to, in this place with the rest of the refuse, the gutters literally running with blood, the dead and dying huddled along alleys and plazas. It was difficult to tell who had happened along in the course of nature and who had been launched over the walls by the Yunkish catapults; they tended to be equally stomach-turning. The bricks baked a visceral red-brown, and flies buzzed like plague. The Volantene fleet was blockading the harbor to all sides, cutting off trade and food. And the sad part is, this is genuinely preferable to the alternative.''
10** And later on after TheSiege of Mareen, there's this gem.
11-->''Sure, he was stranded in a desolate oasis with his illegitimate fucking daughter who didn't know she was his illegitimate fucking daughter, and they soon die of exposure or starvation, but at least the stars were beautiful.'' Thank you, gods. I know how much you care for me.
12* [[spoiler: Jon Snow]], after experiencing a series of nightmares and flashbacks and visions, wakes up, unaccountably, in [[spoiler: Ghost]]
13--> ''Understandably, all things considered, [[spoiler: Jon]] went slightly mad.''
14* The death of [[spoiler:Bowen Marsh]]. Throughout the events happening at the Wall, [[spoiler:Marsh]] has proven himself to be a misogynistic DirtyCoward whose only claim of accomplishment was [[spoiler:killing his Lord Commander]]. [[FromBadToWorse Just as things are going down the drain]] as [[spoiler:the Others are slaughtering everyone there]], he comes out of his room and who does he meet? [[spoiler:Jon Snow]]. In ''that'' very moment, [[spoiler:seeing him alive and apparently unharmed]], leaves him passed out stone-cold of dead shock. And [[spoiler:Jon Snow]] moves on without a word, passing it off as [[spoiler:yet another man down.]]
15* Jaime, [[spoiler:whilst being imprisoned for trying to stop the Westerlings execution]] reflects on the kings he had served, musing that he had "killed a mad one,[[note]]Aerys[[/note]] cuckolded a bad one,[[note]]Robert[[/note]] and sired one that was both.[[note]]Joffrey[[/note]]" He then notes that he still owes Westeros a written apology for the last one.
16* At one point, Littlefinger gets jumped by Podrick Payne. The two proceed to wrestle each other on the ground for a moment or so in front of everyone. Littlefinger, a middle-aged man, is barely able to come out on top of a fight against Pod, a little boy. The only reason he doesn't get his ass fully kicked is because Pod is way smaller than Littlefinger. It's a very funny way of illustrating that, as Big of a Bad as he is, Littlefinger is still a total weakling.
17* Olenna Tyrell's reaction to Aegon requesting support from the other Houses for his claim to the Iron Throne. "They tried to marry me to a Targaryen once."
18* Sandor's reaction to the notion of Littlefinger being left at the mercy of [[spoiler:Lady Stoneheart.]]
19-->'''Sandor:''' ''Littlefinger?'' Hellfire, you nearly succeeded in making me feel sorry for that whoremonger. Just for a moment, it's gone now.
20* [[spoiler:After Ramsay kills Mance and leaves Winterfell to the wights, Theon goes to the Godswood and desperately seeks Bran for help, his response from the ravens is merely "The dead, the dead, the dead" as the wights begin breaking through.]]
21--> '''Theon:''' ''This isn't exactly what I meant, Bran.''
22* In chapter 101 Jaime manages to escape some guardsmen after someone empties a chamberpot over their heads, followed by the chamberpot itself.
23* Chapter 108, Stannis' [[spoiler: final words to Davos before blowing the Horn of Dawn.]]
24--> '''Stannis:''' "And mind your fingers, smuggler. If they're hacked off a ''third'' time, that would be quite ludicrous."
