!! Funny moments in ''Somewhither'' include:

* Ilya's right-brain, left-brain monologue/argument as he's creeping up to the Haunted Museum.
* "Lord Jesus, is that you? Why do you sound like a little girl?"
* "I thought it would be...nice...if I left them in your clutches--hands--"
* "Orientation. [[BlatantLies Slept through it.]]" "Wonder how you slept standing up, because no one sits down on butt-branding day."
* Ilya's very non-successful first meeting with Penny.
** "....hot. Uh. Day."
** Ilya thinking (as the logical alternative to thinking she's hitting on him,) that Penny is possessed after she imitates Lauren Bacall.
** "Goodbye, Mister Marmoset. It's been, uh, unreal, meeting you....watching you roll around in the dirt...."
* "Ilya, you've known this since you were twelve, when we taught you quantum physics."
* "My name is not Luke Skywalker, but I'm here to rescue you!", which is immediately followed by "Fortunately for him, I was of the Host Who Seek Death In Vain, not the Host Who Shoot Radioactive Lasers Out Of Their Eyes."
* Ilya's inner Neanderthal comes to the fore when he finally finds Penny:
** Ilya noting that everyone is staring at him and Penny, except Master Ossifrage, who is facepalming.
** "I hated him because he was better looking than me. I wanted to punch him in the face. If I punched him enough in the face, he would cease being better looking than me. It was a logical thought process."
** Ilya's chagrin on finding that it was technically ''Penny'' who rescued ''him'' and not the other way around--and his absolute glee when he ''does'' unequivocally get to [[SmoochOfVictory collect on saving her]] from a genuine monster.
** The floor wax argument. Which Ilya wisely concedes, given that they have better things to worry about.
* "Technomancer world, sir! Look out for his jetpack and explodey-boom weapons!"
* The multitude of Catholic saints Ilya prays to during the novel...up to and including the patron saint of throat ailments.
* "A Muromets never compromises his honor. My ''nay'' is ''nay'', and my ''yeah'' is ''damn straight''!"
* Ilya being ''finally'' called on (via DopeSlap) his LeeroyJenkins WhatAnIdiot tendencies...which have just led him into an introduction with "distilled essence of pain."
* "The one with breasts like melons?" "I also like her for her personality. Or I will, once I get to know her."
