  • Geralt's stoic reaction to more and more desperate attempts of Nivellen to scare him away, until the beast just shrugs and invites the witcher for a dinner instead. The following discussion they have over the table is one punch-line after another.
  • Nivellen having fun with his curse. The highlights include him and Fenne, one of his lovers, scaring locals for shits and giggles, pretending to be a monstrous familiar of an evil witch, riding on his back. This is a sexual role-play.
  • Geralt's comeback against an obnoxious member of Renfri's crew who insulted him for being a witcher.
    Tavik: We don't like magicians. It seems to me, Civril, that we're going to have more work in this hole than we thought. There's more than one of them here and everyone knows they stick together.
    Civril: Birds of a feather. To think the likes of you walk the earth. Who spawns you freaks?
    Geralt: A bit more tolerance, if you please, as I see your mother must have wandered off through the forest alone often enough to give you good reason to wonder where you come from yourself.
  • In "The Last Wish", Geralt and Dandelion find and accidentally free some kind of a demon. Geralt tries to banish the demon by saying an exorcism (in unknown language) taught to him by some priestess. The demon immediately flees, but returns later in a state of absolute fury. Turns out that the demon is a Literal Genie, and the "exorcism" is just a prank the priestess played on Geralt, which roughly translates to "go and screw yourself". The genie had to do exactly that.
  • In "The Edge of the World" Geralt and Dandelion go to see village wise woman to find out about the "Devil" that is troubling the town. She digs up an old book about monsters, and is promptly urged by Dandelion into quoting this gem about Witchers, much to Geralt's dismay:
    A witchman, mumbled the woman. Called by some a witcher. To summon him is most dangerous, albeit one must; for when against the monster and the vermin there be no aid, the witchman can contrive. But careful one must be—
    [...]
    Eeee... But careful one must be to touch not the witchman, for thus the mange can one acquire. And lasses do from him hide away, for lustful the witchman is above all measure—
    [...]
    —though the witchman greatly covetous and greedy for gold be, mumbled the old woman, half-closing her eyes, giveth ye not such a one more than: for a drowner, one silver penny or three halves; for a werecat, silver pennies two; for a plumard, silver pennies—
  • The fight between Geralt and Yennefer while dealing with the djinn at the end of "The Last Wish" gets into full slapstick at some points, with them accidentally being teleported into the middle of a high-society ball (and being asked for their invitations), Geralt partially ripping off Yennefer's dress, and Geralt having to stick his head into her cleavage to avoid getting punched in the face while grappling with her.
  • During the aforementioned fight, the inn that Geralt and Yennefer are in is getting torn to kindling by the angry djinn trying to kill both of them, and the surrounding buildings in the town aren't faring much better. Everyone is watching in utter horror, except the elf who owns the inn. When asked why he's laughing, the elf replies that he took out a massive insurance policy on the place, and yes, it includes damages caused by magic and supernatural forces.
  • When Dandelion and a couple of knights Geralt befriended earlier come looking for him and Yennefer in the ruins of the inn, one of the knights follows what they think if Yennefer's pained moans. He looks over the rubble, sees Yennefer and Geralt making love in the ruins, and immediately turns back around and assures everyone that they're perfectly fine.
