I had some really good laughs with City of Ravens and also a few with Prince of Ravens.  |

| I laughed at Magadon's joke, where he told Jak to forgive Riven for dissing the potato soup, being the spawn of ice and molasses/he grew up to be cold and thick. For some reason, Khelben eating lentil stew cracked me up, maybe for Danilo's reaction. I do not know why. I'm sure I chuckled at more than just a couple select Entreri/Jarlaxle exchanges (three or four come to mind immediately). But I wouldn't classify and of those books in their entirety as funny. |

A strong political statement, Alias thought sarcastically.

Pharaun, early Liriel, Jarlaxle poking around in the quest for new lulz... we like our drow Chaotic Neutral, no? Crazy antics are pretty much guaranteed, too.

| I haven't read a funny Forgotten Realms book, but there are numerous lines that are humorous. One that stands out to me is in The Last Threshold when Kimmuriel yells at Jarlaxle "Act now you peacock!" when breaking into Lord Draygo Quick's fortress to rescue Drizzt. |

| The Trial of Cyric the Mad was also a pretty funny novel. |

| Jack Ravenwild at least makes me smile a lot and the hardest I laughed was when in Godborn someone (I think it was Riven) said that "Mask is a good planer" |
