1	You may think that a CrapsackWorld like Roshar is full of doom and gloom with all its HostileWeather and BizarreSeasons. But within this series, you can find some good comic relief thanks to Sanderson's decidedly snarky sense of humour...

9	* The working title of the second book was at one point ''Book of Endless Pages''. Sanderson changed it because [[{{Doorstopper}} the jokes were too obvious.]]
10	* In ''Literature/TheWayOfKings2010'', we see Jasnah Soulcast a brigand into fire. When we find out how Soulcasting actually works (you have to talk to the object, cajole and convince it to change), audiences wondered what Jasnah could possibly offer to convince a man to turn into fire. Lots of people joked that maybe she just ''ordered'' him to do it. Then we see a Soulcasting from her perspective...and that's basically how she does it.
11	-->"You," she commanded, "will change."\
12	"I am a rope," one of them said. "I am--"\
13	"''You will change.''"\
14	The ropes shivered, transforming--one by one--into smoke in the physical realm.
15	* Meta example: When it was pointed out on his Twitter that, by sheer accident, Sanderson had written Shallan in a way that, to many fans, made them think she was bisexual, his reaction essentially equated to [[ThrowItIn "sure, why not?"]], and he accepted the idea.
16	** And on a similar note, some fans [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Stormlight_Archive/comments/d6x9g8/any_good_stormlight_nsfw_fanfic_out_there/f0wo1ew/ later pointed out to Sanderson that]] there isn't necessarily anything stopping someone from [[spoiler:having their spren manifest as not ''just'' a sword, [[PowerPerversionPotential and instead as, say]], a dildo.]] Cue Sanderson's one-word exasperated response: ''"Sigh."''
17	* For years, fans have been clamoring that Kaladin needs therapy. In ''Rhythm'' he ''invents'' therapy... and refuses to go himself.
18	* In ''Dawnshard'', [[spoiler:Lopen accidentally swears an Ideal ''again''. He doesn't hate anyone, so the traditional third Windrunner Ideal ("I will protect even those I hate") doesn't work for him. But when he realizes that his cousin sometimes resents him for his unkind pranks, he resolves to protect people from himself--and ''that'' turns out to be enough]].
19	-->'''Lopen:''' Storm me! [[spoiler:You did it ''again?'' I almost died out there, and you accept the Words ''now?'']]\
20	'''Stormfather:''' [[spoiler:It is the right time]].\
21	'''Lopen:''' [[AntiClimax Where's the drama? The sense of timing? You're]] ''[[AntiClimax terrible]]'' [[AntiClimax at this, penhito!]]\
22	'''Stormfather:''' I take offense at that. Be glad for what you have.
