In what doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, the scene when the Archive notices Mister, cries "Kitty!" and goes to pet him. Living repository of all humanity's knowledge? Maybe. Seven year old? Without a doubt.
- The funny part about it wasn't so much what Ivy did, but more Kincaid's reaction:
  Kincaid: Now, that's just creepy.
Harry's reaction to Molly's strategically shredded school uniform and facial piercings:
"I had a vague memory of being that ridiculous at one time. Let he who hath never worn parachute pants cast the first stone."
- The entire following conversation is pretty funny, too:
  Molly: "Oh, so those are fun-time handcuffs, not bad-time handcuffs!"
- Also:
  Harry: This conversation has become way too bleeping disturbing.
When Nicodemus busts down the door to the room Harry and Valmont are in, the thief interrupts his attempt to banter by shooting him in the chest. Nicodemus' response is to be annoyed someone is interrupting him, and starts berating her for ignoring "certain proprieties." Her response is to keep shooting him, and finally Nicodemus just shuts up and waves his arm in a "move along" gesture for her to hurry up and get it over with.
When Harry is kidnapped by the Denarians. Shiro comes to his rescue, opening up the negotiations by slicing up 3 mooks, knocking Deidre to the ground and putting a sword to her throat in the space of about 2 seconds. Harry's delirious (due to having been kept in a cold storage room for several hours AFTER getting the crap beat out of him) reaction to Shiro's badass entrance? He starts singing the Underdog theme tune.
Harry: Speed of lightning! Roar of thunder! Fighting all who rob or plunder! Underdog!
The "Asteroid Dresden" Brick Joke at the end had me literally rolling with laughter for a good couple minutes.
Harry summons an oracle spirit...into a Cabbage Patch doll. She is not pleased.
Harry's first conversation with the Russian Knight of the Cross Sanya, who remains an atheist despite Archangel Michael descending from Heaven to give him his sword. After Harry pokes holes in both this excuse and after Sanya amends that he may be agnostic, Sanya proposes that perhaps he is insane and this is a hallucination. Harry begins to laugh hysterically in response, probably mirroring the reader.
When Harry and Susan go to Michael's house, she comments on how his lawn is green in the middle of February. Harry's response?
"Sod works in mysterious ways."
And we can't forget Thomas showing up to Harry's duel with Ortega wearing a Buffy the Vampire Slayer T-shirt.
- This becomes Hilarious in Hindsight if you're listening to the audiobook and remember who's doing the narration.
  - And even funnier when you consider that Thomas contacted Susan and Martin to take down Ortega.
Harry's use of a rubber ducky to interrogate Valmont. It Makes Sense in Context.
Molly getting Sanya in on her prank calling. Imagine this phrase spoken by a large black man in a heavy Russian accent:
"Excuse me sir. Do you happen to have Prince Albert in a can? Molly, they hung up again."
- Made funnier by the fact that Sanya clearly had no clue what he was saying or doing.
Harry calls the Carpenter house, and gets Molly instead of Charity (like he feared). He can tell just from her voice that she's grown up some.
Molly: Yep! got visited by the breast fairy and everything!
Harry (Narrating) It took me a moment to realize she hadn't been talking literally about the Fairie. Sometimes I hate my life.
"You suck. You suck diseased moose wang, Marcone."
The Running Gag : 'What happened to your coat?'
