Howl's Moving Castle (novel)/Funny

• Howl hamming it up and covering the castle in green slime. "Despair! Anguish! Horror!"
• Pretty much any of Howl and Sophie's bickering is funny, but there's also this, the mental picture is just hilarious:

Howl: If I were to court a girl who lived on an iceberg in the middle of an ocean, sooner or later - probably sooner — I'd look up to see you swooping overhead on a broomstick.

• "I can sense Sophie's hand a mile off. And there are several miles of this suit." Later in the same scene (all of which is a Crowning Scene of Funny) "I am now," he announced, "going to get ready for the funeral. Please, both of you, refrain from doing anything whatsoever while I do. I can tell Sophie is in top form at the moment, and I want this room the usual size when I come back into it."
• Sophie's family trying to clean the castle and complaining about its messiness when they come to visit, in the middle of Howl's battle with the Witch of the Waste.
• Howl returning to the castle drunk, singing Calcifer's sauce-pan song. And then later, after he's gone upstairs to bed, Sophie hears thumping, and him giggling about how the bed is "dodging" him.

Howl: "I assure you my friends, I am cone sold stober!"
