Unseen Academicals/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* Mr. Nutt making [[The Stoic|Vetinari]] LAUGH!

* Mr. Nutt in general, being a humble erudite who has memorized the contents of several ''libraries'', but also is incredibly strong and wise. It would make for an annoying [[Our Elves Are Better|Elves are Better]] / [[Canon Sue]] reaction if he wasn't {{spoiler|an orc. [[Our Orcs Are Different|Discworld orcs]] [[Super Soldier|are different]].}} But the best example would have to be towards the end, right after the climax of the book, before the laugh -- when surrounded by a mob of people chanting {{spoiler|Orc! Orc!}}, expecting to see him react in... ''[[The Stoic|some]] [[Unstoppable Rage|fashion]]'', they slowly stop when he just doesn't. He then politely addresses them over a megaphone, proving that he finally understands Ankh-Morpork's working class football culture.

'''Mr. Nutt:''' Come on if you think you're hard enough. }}

* Mr. Nutt's interview with the reporter. She was being a snot about the fact that he was {{spoiler|an orc}}, and he pulled her chain with the first three answers. Then she asked him why the lads thought he was such a great trainer, and he launched into a page of monologue touching on 4-space physics, vaguely Germanic philosophy, teamwork, and some fairly deep metaphysics.

'''Mr. Nutt:''' Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I had. }}

** Perhaps made even better by the fact that judging by the fact that it is Nutt, I doubt he was insulting her and he probably really thought he'd put it simply.

* How about "Ball lost! Substitute ball!"? Remember... the ball shall be called the ball, and if it's played with as the ball by 3 players (ie. Nobbs (no relation), Nutt, and Trev).

* Someone tries to poison the Librarian, and the jolly Ridcully vanishes, leaving behind an Archchancellor [[Papa Wolf|whose faculty member has been attacked]].

"Because if anyone has poisoned our Librarian, then, although I am not, by nature, a vindictive man, I will see to it that this university hunts down the poisoner by every thaumic, mystic and occult means available and makes the rest of their life not only as horrible as they can imagine it, but as horrible as I can imagine it. And you can depend on it, gentlemen, that I have already started work on it."
