Death tries drinking to forget. Emphasis here on "tries". "The only thing I seem to have forgotten is how to get drunk."
- And then, when he's given up trying, he stands and commits a most awesome Non Sequitur Thud.
The Hurricane of Puns throughout the book. "Mission from Glod", indeed!
- "Are you boys from the Watch?" - "No, ma'am, we're musicians."
The Paper-Thin Disguise worthy of Metal Gear Solid: "We're a piano."
Susan's swing.
- Seems perfectly logical to me.
FIVE THOUSAND D--mmfmmf
"If this kept up, in several billion years he'd be richer than his wildest dreams!"
Also the exchange between Colon and Nobby after Death passes by.

Colon: Would you recognise him if you saw him again?

Nobby: If I didn't, it would have to one hell of an identity parade!

Death's Non Sequitur Thud is in some ways even better in the animated miniseries. Because it's Christopher Lee's voice saying that.
In the animated film of Soul Music, the funniest line is, amazingly, not from the book. Imp offends the locals in a town that's known for its cheeses by declaring, in just the right kind of accent, that:

"We're more popular than cheeses."
