10[[folder:The Prophecies Begin]]
11[[AC:Into the Wild]]
12* One of the things Bluestar brings up when explaining the nature of Clan life to Rusty is that he hasn't been rendered lazy by a trip to the Cutter yet and is "still a tom". In other words, she's using the prospect of Rusty being able to keep his balls as a selling point for joining [=ThunderClan=].
13* Graypaw starts to describe Spottedleaf as younger and prettier than most medicine cats, but is interrupted by Darkstripe. Once he leaves, Graypaw says that "Darkstripe is neither young nor pretty." Amusing enough on its own, but with the knowledge of later books it becomes even sillier; not only is Spottedleaf older than Darkstripe, who's one of the youngest warriors in the clan, but Darkstripe and Graypaw are half-brothers.
14* Upon hearing that Oakheart was at the Sunningrocks battle, Graypaw starts off on how lucky Ravenpaw was to be there and what he would've done (despite just learning that another [=ThunderClan=] cat died there), but is quickly silenced by a disapproving look from Smallear.
15* One of Graypaw's jokes:
16-->"Well, ''I'm'' more lopsided than a one-legged badger. I think I'll have to settle for hunting stupid mice. I shall just wander up to them and sit on them until they surrender."
17* After Graypaw tells Firepaw that Ravenpaw managed to impress Tigerclaw. His reaction:
18--> '''Firepaw''': "What on Earth did he do to do that? Fly?"
19* Firepaw calling Darkstripe "Dirtstripe" behind his back. Bear in mind that "dirt" is Clan terminology for excrement.
20* This tidbit when Yellowfang is taken prisoner:
21-->'''Darkstripe''': But the Clan cannot support Yellowfang! We have too many mouths to feed already!
22-->'''Graypaw''': ''(to Firepaw)'' Yeah, and some mouths are bigger than others.
23** Especially considering this is ''[[BigEater Graypaw]]'' who spoke.
24* This conversation:
25-->'''Graypaw''': I'd go and see Yellowfang if I were you. She doesn't look very happy.
26-->'''Firepaw''': Well, here goes. Wish me luck!
27-->'''Graypaw''': You'll need the whole of [=StarClan=] on your side for this one. Call out if you need a hand. If she looks like she's going to have you, I'll sneak up beside her and whack her on the head with a stiff rabbit.
28
29[[AC:Fire and Ice]]
30* We get this gem from chapter 1:
31-->'''Graystripe:''' I hope [Whitestorm] has [Sandpaw and Dustpaw] chasing blue squirrels all day.
32-->'''Fireheart:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint But there]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint aren't]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint any blue squirrels]].
33-->'''Graystripe:''' Precisely!
34* After Graystripe nearly drowns:
35-->'''Silverstream''': You idiot! What are you doing in my territory?
36-->'''Graystripe''': Drowning?
37-->'''Silverstream''': Can't you drown yourself in your own territory?
38-->'''Graystripe''': Ah, but who would rescue me there?
39* When taking Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw out to teach hunting techniques, Fireheart mistakenly shows the apprentices how to stalk a bird when he wanted to show them how to stalk a rabbit. Oops, dude!
40
41[[AC:Forest of Secrets]]
42* Sure it was an incredibly depressing scene, but [[NoSenseOfHumor Tigerclaw's]] reaction to Graystripe's kits was hilarious.
43** Not to mention Cinderpaw chewing him out for wasting time complaining about the fact that Graystripe was mates with Silverstream, a [=RiverClan=] she-cat. You know it would eventually bite back at you where there's two newborn lives on the line.
44--> '''Cinderpaw, placing one of the kits in front of Tigerclaw:''' "Here, now lick."
45--> '''Tigerclaw, indignantly:''' "I'm not a medicine cat."
46--> '''Cinderpaw:''' "You've got a tongue, haven't you? Lick, you stupid lump of fur, do you want this kit to die?"
47
48[[AC:A Dangerous Path]]
49* Cloudtail rages about Bluestar having given Brightpaw the cruel name Lostface, deciding that he won't use that name anymore: "And if Bluestar objects, she can... [[BigStupidDoodooHead she can go and eat snails!]]"
50
51[[AC:The Darkest Hour]]
52* Although it's during a serious scene (Graystripe caught Darkstripe poisoning Sorrelkit with deathberries), the way Darkstripe describes the situation to Firestar is pretty funny.
53-->'''Darkstripe''': I found the stupid kit stuffing herself with deathberries, and I was trying to stop her when this idiot jumped on me.
54[[/folder]]
55
56[[folder:The New Prophecy]]
57[[AC:Midnight]]
58* The running gag about prophecy dreams coming from fresh-kill.
59* When Squirrelpaw gets stuck under a bush, she explains that she thought there was room to go underneath it. Brambleclaw points out "helpfully" that there isn't.
60* The scene where Tawnypelt first meets Crowfeather.
61--> '''Tawnypelt''': "Is that a [=WindClan=] warrior? Undersized specimen, isn't he?"
62* Squirrelpaw gets stuck ''again'', this time under a fence. Brambleclaw, Stormfur, and Crowpaw are too busy arguing with each other about what to do, to notice Feathertail and Tawnypelt actually finding a solution to get her out.
63-->'''Feathertail:''' "Honestly! Do you toms never do anything but argue?"
64-->'''Tawnypelt:''' "It's what they do best."
65* Cinderpelt echoing Yellowfang. "I don't talk for the pleasure of hearing my own voice."
66* Midnight on why she prefers talking to cats instead of foxes or rabbits: "Fox talk is all of kill. Rabbit have thistledown for brain."
67
68[[AC:Moonrise]]
69* A Tribe kit proudly tells the Clan cats that he's going to be a cave-guard, but he has to be a to-be first. Crowpaw asks what a "tooby" is, and after the kit explains, Brambleclaw points out, "He means an apprentice. Like you." Crowpaw snarls irritably and the kit goes, "You're only a to-be? You're ''way'' old!"
70
71[[AC:Sunset]]
72* Mousefur calls a Clan meeting.
73-->"''Mousefur'' called a meeting?" Brambleclaw echoed. "Can she do that?"
74-->Brackenfur shrugged. "She's done it."
75* Brambleclaw's {{Keet}} tendencies coming out after he gets named deputy.
76-->"When they reached the border he half hoped that they might meet a [=ShadowClan=] patrol, so that he could mention his new position to them, but everything was quiet. [...] he almost felt that if a mouse crossed his path he would stop to inform it that it was about to be eaten by the [=ThunderClan=] deputy."
77
78[[/folder]]
79
80[[folder:Power Of Three]]
81
82[[AC:The Sight]]
83* Jaypaw's thoughts on Brightheart telling him she wants Longtail to help her with Jaypaw's training: ''"Oh great. Let's lump all the useless cats together and hope a tree falls on them."''
84* Leafpool reminds Jaypaw that [=StarClan=] should be respected as they've seen and heard more than he could ever imagine. He replies, "Of course they've ''seen'' more - I'm blind, remember?"
85
86[[AC:Dark River]]
87* As the first chapter opens, it appears that Jaypaw, Hollypaw, and Lionpaw are honestly appearing to ambush some attacking [=ShadowClan=] warriors. When they form a technique and finally strike...it turns out they're just playing, as they surprise an unaware Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight as the two enter through the gorse tunnel. Brambleclaw is amused and impressed by their efforts, however Squirrelflight chides them and say they should be genuinely practicing their moves, not making a game out of their warrior training.
88* On the way to a Gathering, Berrypaw appears to be stalking prey on another Clan's territory, and Hollypaw sternly reminds him that that's not ok. Graystripe jokes to Firestar that Hollypaw seems to be ready to challenge Firestar for leadership, and Firestar purrs back that he doesn't think he has to worry until Hollypaw gets a bit bigger.
89* Birchfall complains that Jaypaw isn't very sympathetic for a medicine cat. Jaypaw's response: "I'm here to ''heal'' you. If you want sympathy, go to the nursery."
90
91[[AC:Outcast]]
92* Berrypaw worrying about his warrior name being [[UnfortunateName Berrystumpytail]]. This in turn makes Jaypaw worried that he'll be named after his blindness, and Hollypaw jokes that his name could be Jayno-eyes.
93* When Squirrelflight and Hollypaw go to [=WindClan=] to tell Crowfeather about the mission to go to the Tribe, the [=WindClan=] cats are rather hostile. Squirrelflight explains that the reason they want to talk to him is about the journey to the sun-drown-place. Tornear growls that that was a long time ago, and Squirrelflight replies that Crowfeather's memory isn't that bad; he won't have forgotten it.
94
95[[AC:Long Shadows]]
96* Jayfeather trying to get Mousefur to eat some herbs. Her response is epic:
97--> '''Jayfeather''': Mousefur, for the last time-
98--> '''Mousefur''': The last time? Good. Go away.
99* Jaypaw coming up with a plan to restore Blackstar's faith in [=StarClan=].
100--> Only Jaypaw would have thought of digging up trees as a message from [=StarClan=].
101* The Three complaining about how small the space behind the warriors' den is.
102* Jaypaw has a vision of a badger. Lionblaze is skeptical.
103--> '''Lionblaze''': Are you sure you saw it?
104--> '''Jaypaw''': No, I'm just making it up for fun. What do you think, mouse-brain?
105
106[[AC:Sunrise]]
107* Hollyleaf getting her tongue stuck in the ice in Sunrise, was an extremely funny scene in an otherwise serious book. Perhaps a nod to the manga.
108* Sandstorm informing everyone that when she becomes an elder, she'll be the crankiest elder who ever lived.
109
110[[AC:Misc/Unsorted]]
111* Pretty much anything Purdy says.
112[[/folder]]
113
114[[folder:Omen Of The Stars]]
115
116[[AC:The Fourth Apprentice]]
117* In ''The Fourth Apprentice'', when [[TheDitz Snowdrop]] is scaring away all the prey.
118--> '''Snowdrop''': "Whatever you're doing, you don't seem to be very good at it."
119* Jayfeather flipping out over Thornclaw taking his stick.
120* When the cats return to [=ShadowClan=] camp.
121--> '''Blackstar''': "Welcome to my Clan. Rest here and take your pick of the fresh-kill pile."
122--> '''[[TheComicallySerious Lionblaze]]''': "Who are you and what have you done with Blackstar?"
123
124[[AC:Fading Echoes]]
125* In ''Fading Echoes'', when Squirrelflight finds out a [=ShadowClan=] warrior died after becoming unable to move, she thinks it was because he couldn't get the fresh-kill pile and starved.
126* Briarlight gets her own fanclub in ''Fading Echoes''.
127* Jayfeather and Yellowfang's snark to snark combat.
128-->'''Yellowfang''': Tell me, what don't I know?
129-->'''Jayfeather''': Where do I start?
130* Lionblaze falling into a patch of wild garlic.
131-->'''Dovepaw''': Should we all disguise our scents?
132-->'''Lionblaze''': That wasn't my intention and you know it!
133[[AC:Night Whispers]]
134* The scene where Lionblaze and Cinderheart hook up.
135--> '''Lionblaze''': "So we're more than friends?"
136--> '''Cinderheart''': "Mousebrain."
137* Ivypaw being kitnapped by [=ShadowClan=]... and nicknamed Thundercat.
138* More Ivypaw in [=ShadowClan=] goodness:
139--> '''Kit''': "Is it true [=ThunderClan=] cats can fly?"
140--> '''Ivypaw''': "Oh yes. All [=ThunderClan=] cats can fly."
141* Ivypaw talks with Blackstar.
142--> '''Blackstar''': "We're not going to throw you into the fresh-kill pile just yet."
143* Yellowfang decides to become Jayfeather's ExpositionFairy. When Mothwing comes to talk about how separating the Clans isn't right, this is what Yellowfang says:
144--> '''Yellowfang''': "Mothwing was born an idiot. She'll die an idiot."
145
146[[AC:The Forgotten Warrior]]
147* When [=ThunderClan=] is fighting a group of [=WindClan=] cats in the tunnels, Dovewing accidentally attacks Dustpelt.
148-->'''Dustpelt:''' "For [=StarClan=]'s sake, get down. Haven't we got enough trouble with [=WindClan=]?"
149* At one point, Mapleshade discovers Snowtuft taking a nap. She chastises him for being lazy, then literally throws him into a fight.
150* On page 122, Leafpool suggests to Jayfeather that he took Briarlight as an apprentice. His reply is hilarious.
151-->'''Jayfeather:''' "Oh, sure! One medicine cat who can't see, and another who can't walk! [=ThunderClan=] will be invincible!"
152* Ivypool runs into a bramble thicket.
153-->'''Birchfall''': Didn't you see the bramble thicket in front of you?
154-->'''Ivypool''': Oh, sure. I just walked into it for fun.
155
156[[AC:The Last Hope]]
157* At one point, Lionblaze finds Firestar taking a nap on the Highledge. Then Graystripe walks into camp, so Firestar wakes up and calls him fat.
158* Hollyleaf lecturing Lionblaze on his eating habits.
159* The conversation when Blackstar comes to visit, especially Lionblaze's "Are you calling me a rabbit-"
160* Dovewing insisting, "We're warriors, not worriers." Doubles as a reference to Kate's son, who used to joke that "Warriors" should be called "Worriers" because the Clans seem to do nothing but worry.
161* "Poor Bumblestripe. Always the first to the fresh-kill pile and the last to get fed."
162* After Dovewing learns that Jayfeather has returned from the Moonpool, she is worried about him and asks Bumblestripe whether Jayfeather is fine. Bumblestripe replies with this:
163--> '''Bumblestripe''': "He snapped at Hazeltail for getting in the way, hissed at Cherrypaw for trampling on Ferncloud's moss, and ordered Foxleap and Toadstep to fetch comfrey. So I guess he's fine."
164* Mothwing and Jayfeather discussing Willowshine.
165--> '''Mothwing''': "If [=StarClan=] told her to jump in the lake, she would!"
166--> '''[[DeadpanSnarker Jayfeather]]''': "She can swim."
167
168[[AC:Misc/Unsorted]]
169* Darkstripe's treatment by the other Dark Forest members, especially Hawkfrost and Brokenstar is pretty funny, especially because of how much he was a {{Jerkass}} in the original series.
170* Tigerheart is about to tell Dovepaw everything - but then an elder shows up trying to make dirt.
171* When Dovepaw is meeting with Tigerheart:
172--> '''Dovepaw''': "Do you know Ivypaw?"
173--> '''Tigerheart''': "You mean, have I met her in the forest at midnight and had her save my life?"
174[[/folder]]
175
176[[folder:A Vision Of Shadows]]
177[[AC: The Apprentice's Quest]]
178* This line from Sandstorm.
179-> "Sometimes, monsters let Twolegs ride inside them. I don't even try to understand it."
180[[AC: Thunder and Shadow]]
181* Sparkpelt declaring that her name would keep her warm.
182** This line, which arguably crosses into meta humor:
183-->'''Graystripe''': "I thought they’d choose Sparkfire for her warrior name. She looks more like Firestar than any cat I ever saw. It would be a good way to remember him. But I suppose Bramblestar is leader. He must know what he’s doing."
184* Alderpaw is nervous about becoming a full medicine cat and shares his worries with his father:
185-->'''Alderpaw''': "I hope I don’t mess up the ceremony. What if I forget the words?"
186-->'''Bramblestar''': "What do you have to say?"
187-->'''Alderpaw''': "''I do.''"
188
189[[AC:Shattered Sky]]
190* Squirrelflight's reaction to Onestar's PurpleProse description of Smoke.
191-->'''Squirrelflight''': [Annoyed] "I see."
192** Apparently all of the she-cats got the gist of where Onestar's story was going very quickly.
193-->'''Rowanstar''': "What was the mouse-brain thinking?"
194-->'''Mistystar''': "Obviously he ''wasn't'' thinking."
195[[AC: Darkest Night]]
196* Dewpaw [[ShipperOnDeck teasing Twigpaw about liking Finpaw]]. She tries to deflect this, and then Dewpaw points out her fur twitches when she talks about him. She just basically says "No" and then [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject Dewpaw changes the subject]].
197* Twigpaw being homesick is quite a sad realization, but one of the reasons she's homesick borders on being hilarious. Twigpaw is jealous... Because Jayfeather used to complain about ''her''.
198[[AC:River of Fire]]
199* The night before Velvet leaves, Alderheart can't sleep and leaves his den to look at the stars. Jayfeather joins him and comments on how he knows Velvet and Alderheart are starting to have feelings for each other, and, despite Alderheart trying ''several times'' to interrupt him, does a whole speech about how relationships never turn out well for medicine cats and how the Clan needs Alderheart. Finally, at the end, Alderheart tells him that he knows all that and that Jayfeather doesn't have to worry: he'll never leave the Clan, and he was only thinking about how to say goodbye. Jayfeather awkwardly thanks him and quickly goes back to bed.
200
201[[/folder]]
202
203[[folder:The Broken Code]]
204[[AC:The Silent Thaw]]
205* Shadowpaw and his mentor Puddleshine are about to leave to go to the Moonpool, and Puddleshine urges him to come. Shadowpaw, feeling that he hasn't earned his promotion yet, protests, "But I'm not ready." Puddleshine's response, not knowing what he'd meant: "Of course you’re ready. You have your whiskers and tail. What else do you need?"
206* Bramblestar's imposter makes Lionblaze swear an oath of loyalty to the Clan, claiming it's to reaffirm the latter's commitment to obeying the warrior code. As Lionblaze only ''exists'' in the first place because the code was broken twice over[[note]]parents were from different clans, with one being a medicine cat[[/note]], he snarks that "(n)ext time, I'll check who my parents are before I'm born."
207* Bramblestar's imposter picks [[{{Narcissist}} Berrynose]] of all cats to be his next deputy after he exiles Squirrelflight for questioning his authority and being a codebreaker. This results in Berrynose's already unbearable ego and arrogance inflating to the umpteenth degree, bossing everyone around throughout the reign of terror with a newfound authority of sorts. Even the imposter finds him ''extremely'' annoying, even when Berrynose is kissing up to him like a loyal servant.
208-->'''Bramblestar's Imposter:''' Berrynose! Why isn't the hunting patrol back yet?\
209'''Berrynose''': They haven't been gone for long.\
210'''Bramblestar's Imposter:''' You should have sent them out earlier.\
211'''Berrynose, hanging his head in shame''': I'm a mousebrain. I'll send them out earlier tomorrow.\
212'''Bramblestar's Imposter:''' Go away.
213
214[[AC:Darkness Within]]
215* The patrol searching for the Sisters needs to find a cat called Pancakes to point them on their way. Turns out that Pancakes has two kits... named Bacon and Eggs.
216
217[[AC:The Place of No Stars]]
218* When Flipclaw returns to the Clan, he mentions in passing that he'd injured a leg while away on his wander (which had since healed). Jayfeather asks "Which leg?" and Flipclaw answers, "This one" while lifting a hind leg... then, realizing that Jayfeather can't see which leg he's talking about, reaches out with that leg and gives Jayfeather a poke with it.
219
220[[AC:A Light in the Mist]]
221* After a tense chase, Bristlefrost finds herself cornered by three Dark Forest cats, and prepares to fight to defend herself... but rather than attacking, two of them just collide into her, and the third just calmly puts his head against her and ineffectually pushes her backward against a rock. Bristlefrost is so confused she doesn't even fight them, just asks what they're doing. (Turns out they're trying to take over her body, but they don't actually know how to do it.)
222* After Spiresight opens a conversation with a [[CrypticConversation cryptic statement]], Shadowsight privately thinks that Spiresight will fit in perfectly with [=StarClan=] because he's ''already'' hard to understand.
223[[/folder]]
224
225[[folder:A Starless Clan]]
226[[AC:River]]
227* This bit at a Gathering:
228-->'''Thornclaw''': Who do they think they are? Talking like they're the best Clan in the forest!\
229'''Whitewing''': Well, every Clan thinks they're the best Clan.\
230'''Bumblestripe''': Yeah, but when we say that, we're right!
231
232[[AC:Sky]]
233* The catmint patrol encounters a carnival and are completely bewildered by what they're looking at. By the time they come back to it the following day, it's packed up and gone, and they wonder if they dreamed it.
234
235[[AC:Shadow]]
236* During his first test to join [=ShadowClan=], Nightheart is tasked to hunt frogs for the Clan. At one point, a frogs jumps straight at him and lands in the middle of his face, much to his disgust.
237
238[[AC:Thunder]]
239* Bayshine and Myrtlebloom telling Sunbeam embarrassing stories about Nightheart from when he was an apprentice.
240* Nightheart doesn't want to join Frostpaw on her journey at first... until she acts uninterested and casually comments that whoever helps her will be pretty famous for helping save the Clan. ''That'' gets his attention.
241* Nightheart's initial interpretation of a motorcycle is that it's giving the Twoleg a badger ride - a game Clan cats play with kits where they pretend to be a badger, stomping around as the kits cling to their back. The idea of a motorcycle pretending to be a badger is an amusing one.
242* Sunbeam thinks about her second task: ''All she had to do was avoid crushing them with a rock as they ate and everything would be fine.''
243
244[[AC:Wind]]
245* During the tour of the territory, Finchlight scolds the apprentices for calling another Clan's scent "yucky", explaining that it's just different. The next scent they come across ''also'' immediately gets called "yucky" by Graypaw before he quickly corrects himself. (Turns out it's fox scent so it's fine to call it that.)
246[[/folder]]
247
248[[folder:Field Guides]]
249[[AC:Cats of the Clans]]
250* Rock mocks Tribe naming conventions:
251--> '''Rock''': According to tradition, [kits] are named for the first thing their mother sees when they are born, although to my mind that would lead to a lot of kits being called Roof of Cave or Wall of Cave or Floor of Cave.
252* On Hawkfrost's page, Rock comments that "Tigerstar must have jumped for joy when he saw that one of his sons shared his hunger [for power]". The mental image of big, scary, ferocious Tigerstar jumping up and down in joy is hilarious.
253
254[[AC:Code of the Clans]]
255* During the code about the vigil:
256--> '''[=RiverClan=] Warrior''': "I hope he gets better in time to [[TooDumbToLive jump into the gorge!]]"
257* Also from the vigil code, Squirrelflight's explanation of how to survive vigil night. Even funnier when you remember that she was made a warrior at the lake, not in the old forest, and that she actually never had a vigil.
258--> '''Squirrelflight''': "Jump up onto high rock and pretend to be Clan Leader!"
259--> '''Squirrelflight''': "If you hear anything, shout 'Who's there?'. Even if it's just a warrior making dirt, better safe than sorry."
260* The entirety of the story "Hunting Fish!". Special mention goes to Dappletail and White-eye being punished by being forced to eat fish, and Pinestar's line, "We are [=ThunderClan=]. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis We. Don't. Eat. Fish.]]"
261* The story "Who Goes There?: Whitestorm Teaches Border Tactics": Sandpaw getting sand in her nose after sniffing the ground too much, Dustpaw jumping on Whitestorm's ears while pretending to be a patrolling warrior, and Sandpaw trying to get Firepaw bitten by a fire ant.
262* ''The Queens Unite'' is a story that details the implantation of the rule as to why kits must be six moons old to be apprenticed. While a very sweet and uplifting story of the power of a mother's love, Daisytail's young son Specklepaw is obviously ''very displeased'' when his mother turns up to his first ever battle to state that most of the apprentices there are barely weaned from the mothers' milk, ducking behind Adderpaw in embarrassment. He's said to look like he's ready to explode from frustration, and given that he's still a kit under six moons, one can ''imagine'' the tantrum he must've thrown by the time he and his mother return to the nursery.
263
264[[AC:The Ultimate Guide]]
265* In the 2023 reprint, Firestar and Graystripe, in [=StarClan=], recount a story from the old days. Graystripe describes how Firestar irritated his Clanmates during a meeting, then invited him hunting, where Firestar fell into the ravine while leaping after a sparrow and was knocked unconscious, so since it's too steep for Firestar to climb out he tries to roll a heavy branch over a log so that Firestar can use it to climb out. Firestar keeps interrupting: that there was no such Clan meeting, ''he'' brought Graystripe hunting to cool him off after Graystripe and Dustpelt got into an argument over Graystripe snoring, he fell after being chased by a fox, his tongue was ''not'' lolling out as he lay unconscious, and that it was ''his'' idea to roll the branch over the log. Thunderstar comes by and sets the record straight: Firestar ''did'' irritate the Clan, Graystripe made it worse, it was a ''squirrel'' that scared Firestar into falling into the ravine, he didn't get knocked unconscious, and they both "spent a lot of time yowling in horror" before Graystripe sees the branch and Firestar suggests using the log to move it. He ends his version by saying "After that, you were both very heroic, I'm sure." They wait until he walks away and mutually agree that Thunderstar's memory must have gotten bad.
266[[/folder]]
267
268[[folder:Manga]]
269[[AC:Graystripe's Adventure]]
270* Graystripe scares two kittypets pestering him in ''The Lost Warrior'' by threatening to eat them and sharpen his claws on their bones. They yowl in fright and flee, making Graystripe think "That wasn't as much fun as I'd thought."
271* Graystripe's reaction to Millie speaking Dog: "I don't think I'd be more surprised if Firestar floated down out of the sky and licked me on the nose."
272* In ''Warrior's Refuge'', the scene when the dogs were, "Just Curious".
273
274[[AC:The Rise of Scourge]]
275* At the beginning of ''Rise of Scourge'', Tiny runs out into the forest. When he comes back and tells everyone, nobody believes him. He quickly starts spewing BlatantLies.
276--> '''Tiny''': "It's true! It is! Plus, I, I built a house out of twigs and leaves, and I lived in it! And then I caught a fox and ate it!"
277* Tiny's imagine spot when he lies about defeating a dog. It involves him and the dog fighting in a dust ball and hilarious ArtShift.
278
279[[AC:Tigerstar and Sasha]]
280* Look closely at Tigerstar in the last panel on page 35 of ''Into The Woods''. The way his eyes are drawn in that frame make it look like he's wearing sunglasses.
281* In ''Escape from the Forest'', Sasha stows away on a ship.
282--> '''Random Girl''': "It's a real live ship's cat!"
283
284[[AC:Ravenpaw's Path]]
285* In ''Shattered Peace'', the scene when Ravenpaw gets his tongue stuck to ice. The following exchange is priceless.
286--> '''Barley''': "You were gone for a while. Everything okay?"
287--> '''Ravenpaw''': "Yeth. Everything'th fine."
288--> '''Barley''': "Are you talking funny?"
289--> '''Ravenpaw''': "No."
290--> '''Barley''': "Are you sure? Cause it sounds like you're talking a little-"
291--> '''Ravenpaw''': "No. Eat your mousth."
292* The reactions Neo [=BloodClan=] has to the dogs in ''The Heart of a Warrior''. Snapper and Pounce have huge bulging eyes, while Willie just gives a nonchalant "seen it all before" look.
293** Before that, Brambleclaw (seen as an apprentice here for some odd reason) bashes two cats' heads together with a trolling smirk on his face. Then, when the dogs join the fight, he cheers "Let's go, dogs!"
294** And the look on Pounce's face when Graystripe knocks him upside the head. The moment is sealed by the "bell ringing" sound effect accompanying it.
295
296[[AC:[=SkyClan=] and the Stranger]]
297* When Sharpclaw goes to report to Leafstar after dealing with some quarreling Clanmates only to awkwardly turn his head away once he realizes she's nursing her kits.
298* In ''After The Flood'', take a look at Sharpclaw's face when Cherrytail tells him to relax about her helping the Clan while still pregnant.
299** After she teases him, he decides to talk to Leafstar:
300-->'''Sharpclaw:''' Leafstar. A moment of your time? Or would you rather torment me too?
301-->'''Leafstar:''' Oh, I'd rather torment you... but I won't. What's on your mind?
302* Billystorm trying to hint to Sol that he wants a private discussion with Leafstar:
303--> '''Billystorm''': Ahem, Sol, don't you have a patrol to go on?
304--> '''Sol''': Not that I know of. Why? Do you want to lead one?
305
306[[AC:Winds of Change]]
307* Mudclaw [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/facepaw_3.JPG facepalms]] when Onewhisker falls off a tree stump at the Gathering.
308* At one point, Mudclaw and Hawkfrost swim out to the island to meet in private. Upon arriving there, Mudclaw shakes the water out of his pelt, basically looking like a fluffy ball of fur, with the sound effect "SHOOKA SHOOKA".
309
310[[AC:A Thief in [=ThunderClan=]]]
311* Cloudtail asks how Brightheart can believe in [=StarClan=], and she turns it around on him, asking how he can ''not'' believe. He stammers, "Because it's - I - There's no -" and she teasingly replies, "Wow. Well put."
312* A patrol happens to pass a missing-cat poster. The cat on it is bright orange, seemingly confirming the fandom's jokes/speculation that Firestar's Twolegs are still looking for him.
313* Cloudtail worries that Firestar may have been tempted back to his kittypet life. Brightheart stands up and, looking sternly down at him, says, "Cloudtail, you know I love you. But that was the most bee-brained bunch of sounds your mouth has ever made."
314** At the end of the conversation, he admits he's scared, and Brightheart tells him she'll keep him safe.
315-->'''Cloudtail:''' With your great big round belly?
316-->'''Brightheart:''' Exactly. My great big round belly and I will keep you safe.
317-->'''Cloudtail:''' I feel safer already.
318* Brightheart gets the idea to check her Clanmates' claws to compare them to the marks she sees near the fresh-kill pile. How does she do this? By [[BadLiar very unconvincingly claiming]] she needs them to dig up some burdock root for her.
319-->'''Brightheart:''' I, uh, I'd love to get at the roots of this burdock plant? Being pregnant is making me want to chew on burdock roots. [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Because I'm pregnant.]]
320** Thornclaw in particular has a hilariously skeptical look on his face, but shrugs it off as just a mother-to-be being strange.
321* Brightheart tries to comfort Rainpaw after his mother's death by reminding him of a time he ate a bee, comparing him and the Clan to a bee and its strong hive. She asks him at the end what that means for him and he replies, "Don't eat bees?"
322[[/folder]]
323
324[[folder:Super Editions]]
325[[AC:Firestar's Quest]]
326* Bluestar and Firestar's argument in ''Firestar's Quest'':
327--> '''Bluestar''': "Why are there four oaks at Fourtrees if not to stand for the four Clans?"
328--> '''Firestar''': "Are you mouse-brained? Are you saying [=SkyClan=] had to leave because there weren't enough ''trees''?"
329
330[[AC:Bluestar's Prophecy]]
331* It's revealed that Brindleface once tricked Whitestorm into thinking there was a fox trapped in the dirtplace.
332* In the beginning of the book, Bluekit tries to get a piece of fresh-kill and it falls on her! Made even better by a nearby warrior's comment.
333--> '''Warrior #1''': "I've never seen fresh-kill attack a cat before!"
334--> '''Warrior #2:''' "Careful! All that fluff might choke you!"
335* In one unseen part, Lionheart (as Lionpaw) woke up his denmates in the dead of night just to show them how pretty the moon looked.
336* Bluefur's nightmare about losing Snowfur and Whitekit in a flood is [[MoodWhiplash interrupted]] by Fuzzypelt complaining that the den roof is leaking again.
337* During Bluefur and Oakheart's first encounter, Bluefur becomes infuriated with Oakheart's flirtatious digs and leaps at him to attack. However, Oakheart dodges her, and she ends up diving right into the river. Then we get this:
338-->''"Help me!"''
339-->''But Oakheart stayed on the bank, his eyes bright with amusement. "Try standing up," he suggested calmly.''
340-->''Bluefur thrust her paws downward, expecting to vanish underwater. Instead, her feet stubbed against the round stones on the bottom of the river. She stood up, surprised to find the water barely lapping at her belly fur. Hot with embarrassment, she stalked onto the bank and shook herself, making sure Oakheart felt the spray. "How was I supposed to know it was that shallow?" she snapped. "[=ThunderClan=] cats don't have to get wet to catch our prey."''
341-->''Oakheart shrugged. "Sorry you got a bit damp." His gaze flitted over her pelt. "I was just defending myself."''
342-->''His feeble apology only made Bluefur angrier. "Why don't you shut up and get off my territory?"''
343* Bluefur sees Thrushpelt training Goldenpaw to climb a tree and asks where her actual mentor Dappletail is (she had to go see Featherwhisker after a seed got stuck in her eye).
344-->'''Goldenpaw''': I'm going to ask Sunstar if Thrushpelt can be my mentor ''forever!'' Dappletail would never have let me climb this high!
345-->'''Thrushpelt''': ''(looking guilty)'' Oops. Goldenpaw seemed so sure she could do it, I assumed it wasn’t the first time…
346
347[[AC:[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny]]
348* This moment:
349--> '''Leafstar''': "He said [=SkyClan=] will need deeper roots if it is to survive."
350--> '''Echosong''': "Maybe we should eat roots?"
351* One funny scene takes place at the Gathering.
352--> '''Leafstar''': "Does anyone have any suggestions?"
353--> '''Lichenfur''': "How about you get us fresh bedding once in a while?"
354
355[[AC:Crookedstar's Promise]]
356* At one point, Oakpaw is carrying a frog when he drops it in surprise. Turns out it's still alive, and it proceeds to hop across the camp, unbothered by the other cats, before plopping into the safety of the river.
357* When training, Crookedpaw's mentor Cedarpelt tells him to fluff out his fur to look more intimidating in battle. Crookedpaw does so, and an amused Cedarpelt tells him he looks like a pinecone.
358* During a Gathering, Willowpaw complains to Crookedjaw about how her sister Graypaw is such a showoff because she's boastfully demonstrating her fishing moves to the other attending apprentices. Mischievously, Crookedjaw suggests that Willowpaw go over and demonstrate how loud Graypaw snores. Willowpaw laughs and says she isn't sure if the Clans are quite ready for that.
359* There's a typo in the original hardcover where the fresh-kill pile is referred to as the "fresh-kill pie", though sadly this was removed from later editions.
360* This quote is pretty much classic ItMakesSenseInContext:
361--> '''Shimmerpelt''': Are we supposed to eat an omen, or should we go catch some more fish?
362** There's also the fact that she says this in the middle of a dramatic moment where everyone's discussing whether Crookedjaw's the right choice for deputy. Shimmerpelt has her own priorities.
363* Oakheart catches a carp for Mistykit and Stonekit, and Stonekit complains that it smells fishy. Graypool replies, "I know, dear. That's because it's a fish."
364* Crookedstar's excitement about being a father. "I have to tell Oakheart! I have to tell everyone. It's okay, isn't it? If I tell everyone?" Willowbreeze just nods in response, and Crookedstar runs into camp shouting, "Willowbreeze is expecting kits!"
365* The manga epilogue opens with one apprentice having fallen in the water, with her denmate teasing her that she's supposed to catch fish with her ''claws'', not her teeth. The wet apprentice, Mosspaw, has a hilariously unamused expression on her face.
366
367[[AC:Yellowfang's Secret]]
368* Yellowkit and her siblings, Nutkit and Rowankit, experience their first snow. Nutkit believes [=WindClan=] did it and threatens to shred them, and Yellowkit is bogged down by the snow getting clogged in her long fur.
369* Yellowfang and her patrol find a snowman in a Twoleg yard. They're confused about it and discuss what it might be, and Yellowfang declares it a "Noleg".
370* Blizzardwing coming a few words shy of calling Foxpaw stupid when she brags that she'd never be afraid of a badger.
371* Yellowfang treats Scorchwind's rat bite:
372-->'''Yellowfang:''' "Fine! Bleed all over the place if you want! You've got the sense of an egg if you think you can trot around the forest with a hole in your flank."
373* One scene sort of dips into a bit of BlackComedy when Yellowfang and Nightpelt find Brokentail's young apprentice, Stumpypaw, hanging from a low-hanging branch by his teeth. When asked what he's doing, Stumpypaw falls from his branch when he opens his mouth to reply and explains that it was Brokentail's assigned punishment for talking too much during battle training. While it ''is'' understandably concerning for a mentor to reprimand an apprentice in such a way, the mental image of a cat hanging onto something like that by its teeth makes it ''somewhat'' funny.
374
375[[AC:Tallstar's Revenge]]
376* Lilywhisker and Whiteberry sharing complaints about Flailfoot, namely how how bad his breath smells and how horribly he snores.
377* Hopkit and Hawkheart in the medicine cat's den:
378-->'''Hopkit:''' "What about fighting? What if I can't fight?"
379-->'''Hawkheart:''' "Then you'll just have to argue your enemies to death. You're great at arguing."
380-->'''Hopkit:''' "No, I'm not."
381* Reena telling Shrewpaw to pretend she's a quiet little egg waiting to hatch when he gripes about there being a loner nesting in the apprentices' den.
382* Jake and Talltail sharing a bed in Jake's home for the night. Jake, full of wonder and amazement, breathes that he can't believe he's sleeping next to a real warrior cat from the wild. Talltail doesn't share this enthusiasm, grumbling that ''he'' can't believe that he's sleeping next to a kittypet.
383
384[[AC:Bramblestar's Storm]]
385* When the camp floods, the apprentices' mentors briefly shelter with them. Dewpaw's reaction to this is:
386-->'''Dewpaw:''' [[InsaneTrollLogic We must be warriors now, because there are warriors sleeping here, so this is the warriors den!]]
387* This is more of one caused by an editing error than anything InUniverse, but: in ''Bramblestar's Storm'', during Graystripe's retirement speech, he mentions how he'll never forget his two kits... ''[[EpicFail Stonefur and Mistystar]]''. Vicky considered it one of her worst errors ever, and it was actually corrected for subsequent printings of the book.
388* A scene worth noting is when Purdy is being assisted in climbing the slope and the other cats are helping him. When someone comments that Purdy is heavier than he looks, Purdy sheepishly jokes that he's eaten too many voles.
389* Bramblestar pokes his head into the apprentice's den the night before the flood as he his checking on everyone, and finds all the apprentices sleeping silently...except for Snowpaw, who is snoring very loudly. Lilypaw manages to quiet him down by kicking him in the belly, forcing him to roll over.
390** Doubly funny when you remember that the two become mates in adulthood. Makes you wonder if Snowbush's snoring presented an issue in his relationship with Lilyheart.
391
392[[AC:Moth Flight's Vision]]
393* Moth Flight, when using catmint for the first time and without instruction, accidentally gives Rocky too much. The old cat gets high and plays like a kit.
394-->'''Micah:''' "How do you know you're not [a natural healer]? Rocky seemed very happy just now."
395-->'''Moth Flight:''' "A bit too happy."
396-->'''Micah:''' "There's no such thing as 'too happy'."
397** Rocky then proceeds to try and find excuses to be given catmint for the rest of the book.
398* The RunningGag where Moth Flight insists she doesn't want to eat a toad (having done so earlier in the book), and the others wonder why on earth a cat would eat a toad.
399* The first thing Bubbling Stream says when meeting her new leader, before even "hello"? A blunt "I'm not eating frogs." Shadowstar, surprised, just says "Okay."
400
401[[AC:Crowfeather's Trial]]
402* Crowfeather ''runs into a tree'' while trying to talk to Hootpaw.
403* There's also the moment he meets a former kittpet called Yew and [[WhosOnFirst gets confused over his name.]]
404-->'''Crowfeather:''' Like, "HeyYou"?
405** Which gets a CallBack later when he's asking around Twolegplace for Nightcloud. He mentions Yew and the cat he's talking to asks the exact same thing he did, in the exact same confused tone.
406* When Onestar is sharing his plan to have the stoats ambush [=ThunderClan=], there's this great line:
407-->''"That’s the most mouse-brained plan I’ve ever heard!" some cat exclaimed, and Crowfeather realized with horror that it had been him.''
408* Crowfeather goes to the border and asks a [=ThunderClan=] patrol if he can see Leafpool. Thornclaw suspiciously asks what business he has with her, and Crowfeather answer it's private business. That leads to Berrynose remarking that he's shared enough ''private'' business with Leafpool already.
409* Crowfeather tries to talk to Breezepelt about she-cats. It's as hilariously awkward as you'd expect.
410-->'''Crowfeather:''' Heathertail's not listening, you know. You don't have to act tough.
411-->'''Breezepelt:''' Are you trying to tell me you've never done the same?
412-->'''Crowfeather:''' ''(embarrassed)'' [[SerialRomeo Well, I can't remember a specific time. But I'm sure I must have acted tough to impress a she-cat at one point.]]
413* There's a moment where he and Harespring are going to [=ThunderClan=] territory to ask for help, and Harespring wonders if they'll really be willing. Crowfeather snidely remarks that [=ThunderClan=] would ''never'' pass up a chance to stick their noses in other Clans' business.
414* Crowfeather grousing about Nightcloud's kittypet friend. "Pickle? Stupid name! Stupid cat!"
415** The sheer fact that some human named their cat Pickle.
416* [[LemonyNarrator Crowfeather's super-snarky narration in general]].
417* When [=ThunderClan=] and [=WindClan=] are planning out how to drive the stoats once and for all, Breezepelt and Crowfeather both volunteer for the dangerous task of luring the stoats out. Bramblestar reviews the plan, saying (paraphrased) "so you'll go in there and irritate the stoats", and Jayfeather interrupts with a snarky comment that ''that'' will be easy for them.
418
419[[AC:Squirrelflight's Hope]]
420* This conversation between Mousewhisker and Leafpool:
421-->'''Mousewhisker:''' I just hope hunting in the wind doesn't make us as stunted as [=WindClan=] warriors.
422-->'''Leafpool:''' [=WindClan=] warriors are only smaller than us because their ancestors were smaller, not because of the wind.
423-->'''Mousewhisker:''' So what made their ancestors small?
424-->'''Leafpool:''' ''(shrugs)'' Only [=StarClan=] knows.
425-->'''Mousewhisker:''' It was probably the wind.
426* While in [=StarClan=] and wanting to check on the living Clans, Squirrelflight discovers to her delight that her spirit-self is able to teleport and wishes that she could always do that.
427
428[[AC:Graystripe's Vow]]
429* The existence of [=WarriorClan=]: a group of kittypets {{LARP}}-ing being a Clan, just as many young ''Warriors'' fans have done.
430** The members of [=WarriorClan=] are named Monkeystar, Fireface, Bugeater, Bigteeth, Clawwhistle... and [[OddNameOut Chester]].
431
432[[AC:Onestar's Confession]]
433* When Onewhisker gets his nine lives, he is stunned when Windstar introduces herself, bowing his head in respect and awe and stammering about how honored he is. Windstar's response is "You're welcome. Now for [=StarClan's=] sake lift your head up. How am I supposed to get at your nose?"
434
435[[AC:Riverstar's Home]]
436* River Ripple encounters One Eye while fishing:
437-->'''One Eye (threateningly):''' "I don't want to see you around here again."
438-->'''River Ripple (calmly):''' "I feel the same way."
439* Kits being kits. Trout Fur asks if a dent in the snow is a vole hole, Drizzle is amused by the rhyme, and Trout Fur retorts, "''You're'' a vole hole!"
440* Night tells Riverstar that she joined his group because of ''him''. She meant it in the sense that he was her best friend and she trusted him, but he misinterprets it as her having feelings for him. He starts to apologize, and she snaps, "Not like ''that'', you flea-brain!"
441* Riverstar scares away Slash's rogues by capitalizing on how freaked out they are when he comes back from the dead after losing a life.
442* Drizzle has a lot of good moments:
443** Everyone is incredibly spooked when Riverstar comes back from the dead after losing a life... except for Drizzle, who's just like, "What took you so long?"
444** She hopes that Riverstar and Finch won't be ''too'' [[SickeninglySweethearts soppy]] for the whole ride back to the forest.
445** They start to get hungry while floating down the river. The raft is too unstable to fish like normal, so Drizzle offers to try to trail a paw in the water to see if a fish will just swim into it; Riverstar is doubtful that any fish would be that stupid. She tries it anyway and gives up when her paw gets too cold.
446** When her parents ask if they're sure Slash is dead, her reply is noted as being ''cheerful'': "He fell into the river. We watched him drown."
447* Riverstar being a PanickyExpectantFather.
448** This exchange:
449-->'''Finch:''' "It's okay. I've done this before."\
450'''Riverstar:''' "''I'' haven't! Does it hurt?"\
451'''Finch:''' "Of course it hurts!"
452** Dappled Pelt points out that him passing out from panic won't help, and recommends he do his meditation breathing and then, once he's calmed, get his mate (the one actually ''having the kits'') to join in.
453[[/folder]]
454
455[[folder:Novellas]]
456[[AC:Cloudstar's Journey]]
457* This exchange:
458-->'''Apprentice 1:''' "Way to go, Cloudstar!"
459-->'''Apprentice 2:''' "Seriously? 'Way to go, Cloudstar'? He's our ''leader'', don't you know?"
460
461[[AC:Spottedleaf's Heart]]
462* Spottedpaw has to go back and forth between the camp and the stream several times, collecting wet moss for the thirsty elders. She gets so annoyed at having to bring so much moss that she considers telling all the elders to sit in the clearing with their mouths open the next time it rains.
463
464[[AC:Pebbleshine's Kits]]
465* At one point in Pebbleshine's desperate attempt to return to [=SkyClan=], she hops into a family's car and hides under one of the back seats and tries to stay out of sight as the Twolegs start driving. All seems safe...until the little girl in the car starts to have a sneezing fit. Poor kid's allergic to cats. Needless to say, Pebbleshine bolts from the car when the parents stop to check on their child.
466[[/folder]]
467
468[[folder:Miscellaneous]]
469* In the play ''Brightspirit's Mercy'', when the Gathering ends, Lionblaze goes into a hilariously OutOfCharacterMoment when he says "Yay! [=ThunderClan=]'s the best! We win again!"
470* There some funny or ironic names throughout the series given to some characters. Sneezecloud, Billystorm, Rileypool, Bellaleaf, Runningnose, Harrybrook, Loudbelly...just to name a few.
471** Some readers have pointed out that Foxheart's name is a rather curious one, given that a "fox-heart" is a cat who is cruel and untrustworthy. Fitting for the character, without a doubt, but one can compare it to a human naming their kid "asshole".
472** Gotta think about some of the prefixes the parents of some kits pick out. Longkit, Ratkit, Houndkit, Sneezekit, Tumblekit, Elderkit, et cetera. Talk about parents hating their children enough to give them an embarrassing name, or not thinking of the future once they grow up!
