Line 29:
* [[Army of Lawyers]]: There's one surrounding the Lavish family.
* [[Arrow Catch]]: Gladys catches one of the Assassin's Guild "warning shots", stopping it so suddenly that it catches fire.
* [[
** And the lump of labor fallacy when presented with the {{spoiler|golems}}, although if you really wanted to justify it, you could say that Vetinari had his own reasons for saying that, and everyone else didn't know economics well enough to realize the mistake.▼
* [[Battle of Wits]]
* [[Bavarian Fire Drill]]: Moist loves doing this, but most notably, {{spoiler|busting an expert stamp forger out of prison to design his paper money for him}}.
Line 105 ⟶ 107:
* [[Multilayer Facade]]: Topsy discusses [[I Love You Because I Can't Control You|Moist's relationship with Adora]] in these terms.
{{quote|"I suspect you like her because she can see your inner self. Or at least an inner self you've left inside just in case."}}
* [[
* [[Napoleon Delusion]]: {{spoiler|In the end, Cosmo is taken to a lunatic asylum, which has a whole wing of people who think they're Vetinari.}}

Line 141 ⟶ 144:
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: Apparently, Topsy Lavish's maiden name was ''Turvy''. As it is implied that she used to be either an exotic dancer or music-hall girl, Topsy could quite probably be a stage name (or pole name as the case may be).
* [[Vomiting Cop]]: An unnamed guardsman on the removal of Cosmo's glove.
* [["Walk On the Wild Side" Episode]]: In a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Twelfth Night]]'', the austere and humourless bank clerk ''Mavolio'' Bent, {{spoiler|a man who ran away from the circus to join a bank, suddenly re-asserts his destiny and heritage as a circus clown.}}
▲* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: The ''pies''. Just... everything concerning the pies. And the ladder.
* [[Wrote the Book]]: Mr. Slant ''literally'' wrote most of the impressive-looking books on law.
▲* [[You Fail Economics Forever]]: Averted, Pratchett did quite a bit of research into economic theory before writing the book, and it shows. (The British gold hullabaloo mentioned above notwithstanding.)
▲** And the lump of labor fallacy when presented with the {{spoiler|golems}}, although if you really wanted to justify it, you could say that Vetinari had his own reasons for saying that, and everyone else didn't know economics well enough to realize the mistake.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Anyone involved in Cosmo's obsession with Vetinari.
