Funny / Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

• Hoid constantly lampshading that Painter is just an Emo Teen who thinks no one appreciates him.
• Design is an Innocent Fanservice Girl who runs a noodle shop, gives out discounts in prime numbers, and has a coat rack that is actually a paralyzed Hoid. Hoid's narration turns completely exasperated whenever she shows up.
• The highest form of art on Yumi's world is rock stacking. Hoid is genuinely impressed with this, going on a long spiel about how art is only what humans define it as, and the skill required makes this no less art than any other. He is significantly less impressed with the part that leads up to this, where the village will collect a bunch of rocks and find ones they think the spirits will like.
  Hoid: You may think your local pastimes are boring, and the things your parents always forced you to do mind-numbing, but at least you didn't spend your days excited by the prospect of ranking rock shapes.
• Yumi is very annoyed that, after spending all this time looking for a spirit, Painter never explained that his favorite noodle shop was owned by one. Painter protests that he didn't think Design was being serious when she said things like "you humans" or claiming to be an interdimensional entity.
• Design spends a good amount of time complaining about Painter's world.
  Design: Your world is weird. And I've been to Threnody.
• Hoid admits that the first problem a world faces when it reaches the wider Cosmere is discovering that, not only are they not alone in the universe, but people have been quietly visiting for years.
• Late in the book, Painter and Yumi discover that Masaka is actually an alien. Painter considers this the least surprising thing that's happened to him.
• When Hoid is un-frozen, he just wants to get the hell out of there because he is sick of this world. Design grabs a big stack of papers and explains her plan: Use lightweaving to impersonate an astronaut and steal the ship.
  "You need all of that?" I asked, pointing at her huge stack of papers. "To explain such a simple plan?"
  "What? This isn't my plan. These are my recipes."
  "Wonderful."
  "They mostly aren't. You have no idea how many different combinations of edible ingredients produce something completely inedible! It's fun."
  "No it's not."
  "It's fun," she said, "if someone else is tasting them."
  I smiled. "Let's go steal a spaceship."
• Yumi and Painter lived happily ever after... though it did take a bit for them to explain to their friends that Yumi wasn't his sister but his "girlfriend from another city." Apparently they refused to believe it until his parents showed up and confirmed that they don't have a daughter.
• Apparently, the spirits can be placated through historical dramas.
