The Fifth Elephant/Funny

"Vimes: It's over. You can tell by the sudden increase in suspiciously innocent bystanders."
 * Just as Vimes and Carrot arrive on the scene of a recent riot, he says:

"First Gloomy Sister: Have you come here to ravish us? Vimes: Madam! I am being chased by werewolves! Second Gloomy Sister: Vill that take all day?"
 * Every time Vimes uses the word 'Vet' when talking to Angua's parents.
 * This exchange - which suggests, by the way, that Sam Vimes may be a not entirely unappetizing sight out of uniform.

"Mister Vimes is going to go completely bursar. He's going to go totally Librarian-poo."
 * On his Wikipedia page, he looks reminiscent of Clint Eastwood. Plus, at the time, he's wearing only half-frozen underpants.
 * In Where's My Cow? Vimes is referenced from Pete Postlethwaite, which is who Pterry says he imagines him looking like.
 * When acting captain Colon realises what a mess he made of things (i.e. he's the only one in the Watch, the rest of the watchmen formed their own guild and are currently on strike)


 * Sam's reaction to The Reveal of what Sybil has been trying to tell him but continually getting interrupted. Rarely if ever do we see Vimes so completely flabbergasted in canon.
 * Immediately followed by him telling her to barricade herself in their room (as there are werewolves after them), and adding, "Without straining yourself!"
 * Sergeant Detritus, Cultural Attache.
 * The gloomy and purposeless trousers of Uncle Vanya (which is also a Shout-Out).
 * He seldom vore them.
 * Vimes being plucked from the brink of death-by-werewolves when Carrot, wielding a spear, appears in a sleigh, extremely abruptly, to the point where for three paragraphs in a row all Vimes can do is say "Carrot?" before he finally manages "What the hell are you doing here?" Carrot's total nonchalance is just icing.
