"They are like highly bred lapdogs. One is sweet, two are amusing, but after the next thirteen you are having uncharitable thoughts involving deep ponds and burlap sacks."
One Good Knight
After the unicorns show up and reveal Georgina's true gender, you get this little gem:
Unicorn: "Cousin? Why is the Warrior Maiden beating her forehead upon the tree?"
Later, the unicorn's explanation for why they're following Andie and co. is a little Fridge Horrory hilarious:
"Alas," Florien said mournfully, "these are the lands of the Satyrs. Virgins are exceedingly difficult to find."
…Then he heard a wild, high pitched cackling that made the hair stand up on the back of his neck. It wasn’t sane, that laugh. In fact, it was the laughter of someone who never had more than a nodding acquaintance with sanity.
The Sea-King to Sasha.
“Oh for the sake of all that is sane, do stop.”
Compounded by his later statements to the guards- “And stop ‘sniffling’.”
After Sasha gets off the dragon ride.
When he slid shakily down off Adamant’s back once they were on the mainland, it was with two conflicting feelings. He wanted to do it again immediately. He never wanted to do it again, not under any circumstances.
Katschei’s heart holder
“There was an oak tree in the forecourt—it’s gone now. There was a dragon curled around the foot of a tree. In the tree was a chest. In the chest was a fox in the fox was a rabbit, in the rabbit was another duck, in the duck was an egg and in the egg was his heart. You had to get past the dragon, climb the tree, open the chest, kill the fox before it got away, then kill the rabbit, then kill the duck and break the egg.”
Katya’s brows rose. “Good heavens. That just shrieks ‘I am an important hiding place look into me!’ Why didn’t he just put a big sign on a tree that said My Heart Is Up Here?”
Katya’s cursing- apparently it involves calling someone a “noodle-spined bar sinister son of a blind camel and cactus.”
“Horses,” he murmured. “Drive now, canoodle later. Ditch bad, bed good.”
The Snow Queen
The Sleeping Beauty
Leopold. Cursed necklace. Singing. Fun times everyone, fun times.
To clarify: as part of an engagement challenge, Leopold was given a cursed necklace and told to add it to a dragon's hoard. It slowly turned him into a drooping, gothy Dreadful Musician who could only sing about the weight of his blighted hopes crushing him. He and a companion were able to bypass the dragon simply because the beast was laughing too hard.
The funniest parts were the scathing comments of the Bird while Leopold sang dreadfully about his woes. "Your mother dropped you on your head."; "Your brains are soaked in brine"; "She kicked you on the ... knee.". Siegfried is choking with suppressed laughter which is made worse when Leopold accuses him and the snarky bird of 'ruining' his art. Rosamund, who is watching them on a mirror is practically dying with hilarity.
To cap the matter off, once Leopold is free of the curse....
The usual Heroic classification of birds is described as "good to eat," "not good to eat," and "singing while I have a hangover, kill it with a rock."
Leopold and Siegfried taking a ride on the forest and chance upon a beautiful unicorn who immediately stares with adoration at Siegfried and want to put her head on his lap. Leo understandably falls off his horse laughing.
Beauty and the Werewolf
Protagonist Isabella contacting Godmother Elena by magic mirror, only to be put on "hold," complete with the visual equivalent of Muzak.
