* The rain of toads is a bit squicky, and is sad for anyone fond of amphibians, but it's also kind of [[DeadBabyComedy hilarious]]. Especially when Harry has to switch on the windscreen wipers.
** Harry finally figures out they’re real because one of them [[ToiletHumour shat on him.]]
* The best battlecry ever: '''[[Franchise/PeterPan "I don't believe in faeries!!"]]'''
** To put this one in perspective: Harry was in an area of the Nevernever ''teeming'' with warriors of both Summer and Winter Courts, about to take part in a battle that LITERALLY held the balance of the entire world at stake... and he has the cojones to say that, particularly when considering that the fae ''hate'' being called faeries. CrazyIsCool to the extreme.
** For those unfamiliar with ''Franchise/PeterPan'', in that work a fairy dies when you stop believing in them.
* '''"FOR THE PIZZA LORD! CHARGE!"'''
* Mister [[CatScare startling]] Morgan.
* Harry getting the Unravelling from Aurora and yelling [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner "meep meep!"]] before running off.
* Harry's response to Maeve's ham-handed, but magically enhanced, attempts at seduction by unzipping his fly and pouring a jar of ''ice cold'' water '''directly''' onto his crotch.
* When confronted with an angry centaur and a Sidhe lord who asks Harry if he is in fact Harry Dresden, our hero has the perfect answer.
-->'''Harry''': If I'm not, he's going to be upset with me when he catches me running around in his underpants.
* All of the many [[ShoutOutToShakespeare Shakespearean shout-outs]], and especially Harry and Billy's lampshading at the end. [[Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream "Lord, what fools these mortals be."]]
* "Spenser never mentions that the Faerie Queen has a great ass. So I notice these things. So sue me."
* Harry's [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels (lack of) Latin skills]]. Stupid correspondence course.
* When Harry follows Fix, Ace, and Meryl into the alley outside the funeral, he gets his ass beat to the point that he can't speak clearly. When he tries to assure the panicking changelings that he's not there to cause trouble, his gibberish causes Fix to flip out and yell "He's casting on us!" Cue Meryl chucking Harry into a dumpster.
* Harry taking the habit of using ExactWords when dealing with Faeries too far.
-->'''Lea''': Give me your hand, child.\\
'''Harry''': I ''need'' my hand, Godmother. Both of them.
* The RunningGag of Harry needing a haircut. Especially when it culminates during Harry's meeting with Lea.
-->'''Lea''': And consider a haircut. You look like a dandelion.
* Harry goes on a soliloquy over how planes are incredibly amazing at the fact that they can fly at thousands of feet from the floor, yet someone will complain about the drinks... as he runs up the literal StairwayToHeaven (well, to the place where the Stone Table is) and he complains about it not being an escalator.
* While Mab and Harry are observing the battle, Harry makes a stupid remark, and Mab actually glances away from her troops, thus defying her very ''function'' as Queen, just so she can give him a withering look.
-->Mab took her eyes from the battle long enough to give me a look that said, quite clearly, that I was an idiot.
* While fighting the plant monster, Harry realizes it needs a more serious name.
-->The plant monster—No, wait. I couldn't possibly refer to that thing as a "plant monster." I'd be a laughingstock. It's hard to give a monster a cool name on the spur of the moment.
** He then settles on the even-more-ridiculous-sounding 'chlorofiend'.
** Later turns into a BrickJoke when he calls it a "chlorofiend" out loud and then immediately has to clarify to Murphy that he meant the plant monster. [[spoiler: And then it happens again with Susan in ''Literature/DeathMasks''.]]
* Toot-toot's attempt to mimic traditional military mannerisms with his little crowd of faerie comrades. He's trying ''so hard'' to look and sound like a hard-nosed commander but his accoutrement is made of bottle caps and other random junk and he keeps mixing up his military slang with similar-sounding words. It's both hilarious and adorable.
-->'''Toot-toot:''' Everyone fall apart for messy!
* Mab, [[PhysicalGod The Queen]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast of Air and Darkness]], approaches Harry to congratulate him over his victory. Harry is so exhausted by this time, the only response he can muster is a weary "Go away, Mab", without even looking at her. And she finds it ActuallyPrettyFunny.
* At the Wal-Mart, when confronted by Grum, Harry has a genius plan: throw marbles on the ground. Instead of slipping, the massive Grum just ends up squashing the marbles flat as he casually walks over them. Later on, after the chaos of fighting the chlorofiend, Harry runs into Murphy, who is now limping.
-->'''Murphy''': One of those bastards must have thrown a bunch of marbles on the floor. I slipped on one. It’s my knee.\\
'''Harry''': Oh. Uh. \\
'''Murphy''': (blinks in disbelief) You did that? \\
'''Harry''': Well, it was a plan at the time. \\
'''Murphy''': Harry, that's not a plan, it's a Looney Tune.
* The reasons given for various wizards not attending the White Council.
-->"Research trip in the Yucatan"\\
"On Sabbatical"\\
"Still Sleeping Off that Potion"\\
"He Got REAL Married"\\
"Pyramid Sitting" (Whatever that was)\\
"Living under the Polar Ice Cap"
* Dresden storming off from the council, in the Blue Beetle:
--> "Behold the angry wizard, put-putting away."
* After Harry uses Forzare to get out of Aurora's quicksand, only to end up hanging upside down in a tree, Harry [[TemptingFate quietly hopes that nobody sees him like that]]. Cue the Gatekeeper.
-->I folded my arms and had them sternly crossed over my chest when a tall, shrouded form emerged from the mist below. Dark robes swirled, a deep hood concealed, and a gloved hand gripped a wooden staff.\\
The Gatekeeper turned his head toward me and became still for a moment. Then he reached his other gloved hand into his hood. He made a strangled, muffled sound.\\
"Hi," I said. King of wit, that's me.\\
The Gatekeeper sounded as though he had to swallow half a gallon of laughter as he responded, "Greetings, Wizard Dresden. Am I interrupting anything?"\\
My other boot fell off and plopped to the ground. I regarded my dangling, muddy sock-feet with pursed lips. "Nothing all that important."
* Mab's response to Harry confirming that Lloyd Slate has betrayed the Winter Court and sided with Aurora. Declaring that it’s the last time she lets Maeve hire the help.
* When Ebenezar and Martha Liberty are discussing the amount of Americans already on the Senior Council, Eb figures that he'll want someone who isn't. Listens-to-Wind drily puts in that he's the ''only'' American, "unlike the rest of you Johnny-come-latelies."
