Line #9 Funny/FarceOfTheThreeKingdoms


1	As a very snarky satire of ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms'', this work basically runs on RuleOfFunny.
2
3	* Chapter 4. Yuan Shao writes to Wang Yun to attempt to get rid of Dong Zhuo. What does he say to convince him? [[Film/MeanGirls "We should totally just STAB DONG ZHUO!"]]
4	* Also from chapter 4. Wang Yun wants to do something, so invites his friends to a birthday party to talk to them. He ends up bursting into tears over Dong Zhuo's evilness, which his friends think is because he's sad about getting older. The kicker?
5	--> '''Wang Yun''': It's not even my birthday!
6	** The guests all then start crying as well. [[OnlySaneMan Except Cao Cao]].
7	* Chapter 7. Clearly Lu Gong forgot his plot armor.
8	--> '''Lu Gong''': But I’m a named character! I just got introduced!
9	--> '''Cheng Pu''': That isn’t going to help you in this book.
10	* The increasingly terrible omens dealt to Dong Zhuo in Chapter 9 are dismissed quite humorously.
11	--> '''[[IdiotBall Dong Zhuo:]]''' “I knew that dream I had about a dragon strangling me was a good omen!”
12	* Chapter 9 also features Cao Cao's recruitment portrayed in a...very modern sense. Complete with job fairs and a discussion of gaps in a resume vs "volunteer work".
13	* Chapter 11: the cliffhanger is once again resolved in an anticlimactic fashion, this time with Mi Zhu's introduction. Even the characters are unimpressed.
14	--> '''Tao Qian''': No offense, but the hurricane would have been a much better cliffhanger.
15	* Chapter 12 features a minor character named '''[[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse He Man]]'''. Come on, tell me you didn't chuckle at that one. Even better, said character is [[AluminumChristmasTrees actually from the original novel]]. Yes, one of the most famous works of Chinese literature really does have a character named He Man[[note]]The name is actually pronounced "Huh Mahn", but still[[/note]].
16	* Chen Gong’s first evacuation of Lu Bu’s wives and daughter? Heroic. The fact that he’s described as “packing up” said wives and daughter again later that chapter? Hilarious.
17	* Zhang Chao’s overdramatic suicide, prefaced by the fact that he points out he's against some pretty dramatic deaths. Definitely black comedy; definitely hilarious.
18	* It’s first revealed in Chapter 13 that the story has death scene judges. Zhu Jun’s death scene only scores a 3.2.
19	* Emperor Xian's reaction to his first taste of porridge.
20	--> '''[[PickyEater Emperor Xian]]:''' I know I’m fleeing for my life and lost all my attendants, but I’m still the Emperor! I can’t eat regular people food!
21	** It's times like this when you remember that Emperor Xian ''is'' only a child.
22	* Liu Bei is very nonplussed by Ji Ling's weapon.
23	--> '''Liu Bei''': Wait, why is your sword a triangle? How does that even work?
24	* Chapter 15: Sun Ce taunts Taishi Ci's troops with a "nyah, nyah!" He gets a "neener, neener!" in response.
25	* The ''brutal'' deconstruction of the effectiveness of single combat, also from chapter fifteen.
26	* Another one from chapter 15 when Yuan Shao doesn't even bother justifying holding the Emperor's Seal anymore.
27	--> '''Sun Ce''' (reading a note from Yuan Shao): What does he mean, ‘insert generic excuses here’?
28	* From Chapter 39, Cao Cao takes a [[https://www.tutormandarin.net/en/like-adding-wings-to-tiger/ Chinese proverb]] and interprets it in the most literal way possible:
29	-->'''Xu Shu''': Careful, he has my buddy Zhuge Liang working for him! He’s basically a tiger with wings now.\
