History Funny / Goosebumps

* In "Don't Wake Mummy", Kim scared her little brother Jeff by dressing as the mummy. He started fighting her until their mom stops them by threatening to ground them both.

-->'''Dad:''' I happen to ''like'' big meatballs.

* From ''You Can't Scare Me!'', the speech Courtney gives Eddie and Hat after they tried to scare her with mud monsters, and her then talking the mud monster to death.

* Amaz-o from ''Bad Hare Day'' gets a few due to how grumpy he is, such as when he tells Foz that someone with that name has no business making fun of a sorcerer named Frank.

--> '''Zach:''' Have you ''met'' the cops in this town?

** Not to mention that Stine had previously been goaded into admitting his identity when Zach claimed that the guy should stop trying to ''be'' Stephen King when he writes. Which provokes Stine into starting what would likely have been an ''epic'' rant '''against''' King's works, had he not realized he'd blown his cover ''before'' he could really tear into his fellow author!

* Likely unintentional, but Stine's briefly forgetting about creating the giant Preying Mantis is a lot funnier if you've actually read ''A Shocker on Shock Street.'' It's only in the book for a few pages towards the start.

* At the beginning, when Zach is intent to follow Hannah and the Abominable Snowman, Champ grabs his arms and puts his whole weight trying to prevent Zach from doing so. Zach is able to keep walking anyway, dragging Champ with him.

** Anything Slappy says as he [[spoiler:goes throughout the town in The Haunted Car and throwing the opened books out of the car and releasing the monsters.]]

* Zach's aunt [[spoiler:crashing into the Werewolf of Fever Swamp, unknowingly saving the heroes.]]
* During the climax, Stine has to find a place to write in the school and goes into the auditorium. What play does the school have set up in there? [[spoiler:''Literature/TheShining''.]] [[spoiler:It's even funnier since the real R. L. Stine is sometimes referred to as the Stephen King of children's literature.]]
* At the end when [[spoiler:the monsters are getting sucked back into the book,]] Slappy tries to get one last hit in by attacking Stine. And what does Stine end up doing? [[spoiler:''He dropkicks him into the vortex''.]] Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, especially for every adult in the audience who grew up terrified of that evil little bastard.

* From ''Go Eat Worms!:'' "And the winner of the science fair is...[[spoiler:Danny Fletcher and his Balloon Solar System!"]]

* At the end of ''Be Careful What You Wish For'', Samantha's reaction to [[spoiler: being turned into a bird? Sam suddenly realizes that she's hungry, and [[MyInstinctsAreShowing blissfully devours an earthworm]]!]] "Very tasty."
* As mentioned by Blog/BloggerBeware, the ending of ''Marshmallow Surprise'' can be considered one. Basically the story builds up to a climax where Mrs. Spooner reveals that Marsha and her brothers are going to melt into goo as revenge for the pranks they've pulled on her, and then [[spoiler:out of nowhere the kids turn out to be werewolves and eat her. It's so completely stupid it's hilarious.]]

** The third time his BerserkButton is pressed, he sees it coming and tries to warn the person off, but she calls him a dummy anyway. His reaction to that? Say the following in a completely deadpan tone.
-->'''Slappy''': ...you said it.

-->''Horror Make-Up Artist:'' Darling, we're monsters, but we're not ''monsters''.

-->'''Horror Make-Up Artist:'' Darling, we're monsters, but we're not ''monsters''.

-->'''Horror Make-Up Artist:''' Honey, we may be monsters, but we're not ''monsters''.

* In ''You Can't Scare Me!'', the speech Courtney gives Eddie and Hat after they tried to scare her with mud monsters, and her then talking the mud monster to death.

--> '''Steve:''' ''(in a mocking falsetto)'' "Please?" "PLEASE?"

* During the climax, Stine has to find a place to write in the school and goes into the auditorium. What play does the school have set up in there? [[spoiler:''Literature/TheShining''.]]

* Most of Slappy's one-liners.

-->'''Stine''': [[BackseatDriver Does someone else want to drive?]] 'Cause I'm pulling over ''right now''.

** Anything Slappy says as he [[spoiler: goes throughout the town in The Haunted Car and throwing the opened books out of the car and releasing the monsters.]]

* In''The Haunted Mask 22'', when Chuck asks Steve to remove his creepy mask (not knowing [[BecomingTheMask it's attaching to him and changing his mood]])...
