Line 2:
* Pretty much all the book dedications are hilarious.
* Stephanie notices that Skulduggery is walking, talking skeleton. This conversation occurs.
{{quote|
'''Stephanie:''' I've never fainted before but I think you might be right.
'''Skulduggery:''' Would you like me to catch you?
'''Stephanie:''' If you wouldn't mind?
'''Skulduggery:''' Not at all.
'''Stephanie:''' *faints* }}
* During what is essentially the equivalent of [[Twilight (novel)|the meadow scene]], we get this...
{{quote|
'''Valkyrie:''' [[Take That|Holy God! Do you always come on this strong?]] }}
* This exchange from the first book.
{{quote|
*[[Beat]]*
'''Skulduggery''': [[Lame Comeback|You've got big ears!]] }}
* Also, this:
{{quote|
'''Stephanie''': What do I do then?<br />
*[[Beat]]*<br />
'''Skulduggery''': ...Panic. }}
* And, when they're in the [[Creepy Basement|caves]] underneath Gordon's house:
{{quote|
'''Skulduggery''': That, my dear Valkyrie, is what we call a monster.
'''Valkyrie''': You don't know what it is, do you?
'''Skulduggery''': I told you what it is, it's a horrible monster. Now shut up before it comes over here and eats us. }}
* Most scenes involving Billy-Ray Sanguine.
** After a fight, Sanguine disappears into the ground. Thinking he's gone, Tanith insults him, only to have him pop back up again. There's a bit of [[Witty Banter]] between Valkyrie, Tanith, and Sanguine, and then we get this:
{{quote|
*disappears*
*[[Beat]]*
*pops back up*
'''Sanguine''': Or at least half price. }}
** When Billy-Ray Sanguine gets his razor stolen.
{{quote|
** "[[Comically Missing the Point|But I drove here.]]"
* "I seem to have lost track of this speech, I'm not sure where it is going, but I know where it started and that's what I want you to remember. Has anyone seen my hat?"
{{quote|
'''Skulduggery:''' Really?
'''Valkyrie:''' God, no. That was awful. }}
* Kenspeckle is pissed off at Skulduggery. So he makes him wear a pink hospital gown covered in ducks.
* [[Butt Monkey|Vaurian Scapegrace]] enters a funeral home in the hopes of being embalmed. The following scene must be read to be believed.
* Erskine Ravel's response to Skulduggery suggesting that making him an Elder wasn't such a bad idea.
{{quote|
* "Your reflection is still naked, by the way."
* Clarabelle's job interview with {{spoiler|Doctor Nye}} somehow manages to be a Crowning Moment of Funny and [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]] at the same time.
Line 48:
* Skulduggery and Dexter Vex, shamelessly teasing Ghastly at the Requiem Ball.
{{quote|
'''Ghastly:''' You can call me whatever you want.
'''Vex:''' Thank you Gladys. }}
{{quote|
'''Valkyrie:''' Yes I would.<br />
'''Ghastly:''' No she wouldn't.<br />
Line 58:
'''Ghastly:''' If you tell her, I will have the both of you arrested. And possibly flogged. }}
* The entire ''[[It Makes Just As Much Sense in Context|The sparrow flies south for winter]]'' scene, but particularly,
{{quote|
'''Skulduggery:''' I would have said ''Ok, [[Embarrassing First Name|Bison,]] so you're sure we only need to pull a lever?'' And he would have said ''Yes'', and I'd have said ''Excellent, thank you. Did you know, by the way, that the sparrow flies south for winter?'' And then I'd have punched him. }}
** Hell, anything involving [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|Bison Dragonclaw]] can count.
* Fletcher verbally castrating Caelan. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
* The fact that {{spoiler|Skulduggery's subconscious is going around killing people}} really shouldn't be funny. But then you get this.
{{quote|
'''Skulduggery:''' No, it's not. Because then I would be talking to myself and I don't do that any more. }}
* Valkyrie deciding that dingoes are cute and that she wants one as a pet . {{spoiler|While looking after her infant sister.}} [[Crosses the Line Twice|I may have just found]] [[Dead Baby Comedy|that funny because I'm Australian.]]
Line 70:
* China's [[Freak-Out]] when Valkyrie accidentally uses the Sceptre of the Ancients and disintegrates her books.
* One of the short stories, ''Gold, Babies and the Brothers Muldoon'', has this golden moment:
{{quote|
''*Skulduggery falls through the roof and lands on his face*''<br />
'''Skulduggery''': Oh my God. Oh my God that hurt. }}
Line 76:
* [[Completely Missing the Point|"You put me on a list with]] ''[[Completely Missing the Point|Hitler?"]]''
* The running gag in ''The End Of The World.''
{{quote|
'''Ryan:''' That was a vampire? That guy who looked like an accountant?
'''Skulduggery:''' We don't talk about vampires.
'''Ryan:''' But it was daytime. How could he have been out during the-
'''Valkyrie:''' We don't talk about vampires! }}
