If you had to choose, what do you think was each character's funniest line in the show? (You can pick two, if you like - the wittiest line on paper, and the one that makes you laugh the most because of the way it's delivered or whatever.) Here are some of my choices...
CEDRIC
Best line: "Now personally, I can't stand rudeness!"
My favourite: "Stick it in your knapsack!" Only Cedric could make a gift sound like an insult.
SYLVESTER HANDS
Best line: "Oh, if it ain't got any alcohol I'm not interested."
For me, though, Sly's funniest moment is when he's making his excuses to Lord Fear for boozing on the job - the way he goes "I do lots o' walking!" in a really pathetic voice always cracks me up. *g*
SIR HUGH DE WITTLESS
Best line: "Opposition? Never heard of him!"
My favourite: possibly "Well, enough o' the girlish vapours, now let's get to the rescuin' part!" I love that scene with Gwendoline - the way he just slings her over his shoulder, kicking and screaming is pretty hilarious, especially as she was such a humourless character most of the time.
JULIUS SCARAMONGER
"January? Oh, come for the sales, have you?"
ROTHBERRY
"Information? I could probably give you some information, like, um, the melting point of some metals." Genius ad-lib!
RAPTOR
(Whispered in the dwarf tunnels) "Rhark - you stop playing with that. It be dead!" Generally Raptor just annoys me and I struggle to make out what he's saying, but that line greatly amused me when I noticed it.
