I laughed out loud reading Discworld #2, part on Cohan the Barbarian.

Spoiler:
'Yesh,' said Cohen, and sighed. Thatsh right, boy. I'm a lifetime in my own legend.'

'Gosh,' said Rincewind. 'How old are you, exactly?'

'Eighty-sheven.'

'But you were the greatest!' said Bethan. 'Bards still sing songs about you.'

Cohen shrugged, and gave a little yelp of pain.

'I never get any royaltiesh,' he said. He looked moodily at the snow. That'sh the shaga of my life. Eighty yearsh in the bushiness and what have I got to show for it? Backache, pilesh, bad digeshtion and a hundred different recipesh for shoop. Shoop! I hate shoop!'

Bethan's forehead wrinkled. 'Shoop?'

'Soup,' explained Rincewind.

Yeah, shoop,' said Cohen, miserably. 'It'sh my teeths, you shee. No-one takes you sheriously when you've got no teeths, they shay “Shit down by the fire, grandad, and have shome shoo—” Cohen looked sharply at Rincewind. That'sh a nashty cough you have there, boy.'

Infact, I laughed so much, it intrigued my fiance to the point where I convinced him to listen to Discworld books with me. I consider that a win, as he is not a reader.

Also I highly recommend Shit my dad says. Skip the show though, that sucks. Just go for the book.


Oh and Terry Pratchett's and Neil Gaiman's Good Omens was pretty funny too, but in a different parody sort of way. That book makes fun of everything. Britain, USA, religion, fast food corporations, etc. But if you're one of those stuck up types, or maybe a conservative nut :P, you will get offended. But in my mind, that is just one more bonus, haha.
