The Dark Elf Trilogy/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • After escaping from yet another Underdarkian peril, there is a paragraph which starts, “They ran through the winding tunnels blindly, hoping that no monsters would rear up suddenly before them.” The sheer blandness of the statement, coupled with the no-fuckin'-duh sentiment-- 'hoping that no monsters would rear up suddenly before them' could be appended to nearly EVERY sentence in ANY book-- makes this line unintentionally hilarious. And that's even before getting into the Fourth Wall Painting wink-and-a-nod to Random Encounters aspect.
  • Drizzt telling Guenhwyvar to lie down on sleeping Belwar in order to annoy him. It works several times.
  • Bruenor's frequent musings about how Roddy McGristle's dog would taste. And his eventual regret when he eats its leg.
